Huger's powerful laughter and joy disappeared, and his face hardened.
One second.. two seconds.. three seconds…
Jin waited for Huger to make amends, while Huger's expression slowly began to show displeasure.
It's not a complicated matter. Even Jonsina Perral—, who is entering her fifties, this— shows the proper respect to a boy who is decades younger than her. So Huger— who is not yet thirty years old— has no right to talk informally with Jin.
“Ah, I'm not sure the food we prepared will match that unwise and rude cake of yours, Huger.”
Jin followed and spoke softly, which made Huger's ears redden. Many guests watched them both. Anger and slander made Huger's blood boil and pump faster through his veins.
“Oi, Mr. Extraordinary Boy. Are you trying to embarrass me just because I'm talking a little relaxed? You may be a Runcandel, but in the world of warriors and martial artists, I am your senior so far. I'm just being friendly because you're an impressive newbie, so don't be in a hurry! ”
Huger spoke as if he could not believe the absurdity of the boy.
But Jin realized he had to explain the current situation in great detail to overcome the idiotic fool's empty mind.
“Listen carefully, Huger from the Tuko Clan. Your conduct is an insult not only to me, but also to all guests who have shown me proper courtesy. If you really care about senior-junior relationships, then you should be much more careful than usual.”
"What?"
“The first and second flag bearers of the Ken Clan, Sir Jonsina Perral of the Dragon King Knights, and others. Aren't they all your senior? If you have the right eyes and earholes, you should pay attention to how they have behaved towards me so far. ”
Julard and Seager Ken nodded in agreement, while Jonsina watched with sparkling eyes as she found the situation interesting.
The other spectators sighed or whispered to each other.
“If you behave like that, then what makes another — your senior? Admit your mistake and apologize. I'll turn a blind eye to this incident if you do, because I've already said my part.
Huger almost exploded in anger, but …
Oooh—!
The audience let out sounds of admiration and admiration, while some of them even whistled loudly.
"He caught you this time, Huger!"
“Kuhaha, see? I've always told you to be more careful in front of others, Huger. My friend, it looks like you have been given an important life lesson by young master Runcandel.”
“The youngest master has saved your life, you know? I'm sure you'll get in big trouble later on because of your trap. Haha, listen to the teachings of the young master. ”
“Don't tell us that you will challenge him to a duel because of your embarrassment. I'd like to think you're not a narrow-minded person. ”
The other guests naturally approached Huger and patted his back and shoulders to lighten the atmosphere. They were all senior martial artists close to Huger.
Moreover, Huger was a very simple-minded man. Before long, his anger disappeared and he spoke in a light tone.
“Hm-hm, because my senior said that. I hope you will forgive your stupid junior for his mistakes, Senior and Elders. I will thank you if Young Master Jin forgives me too.”
"Of course, Mr. Huger."
The situation that could have greatly improved had ended in a warm and friendly manner.
The slightly shy Huger laughed out loud to dispel his embarrassment and walked away towards his clan.
After a while, the guests around Jin slowly returned to the original group. Soon, Luna— who was watching this spectacle from the other side of the banquet hall— slowly approached Jin.
“Kakak Elder Luna.”
“Haha, you really have an innate talent in making enemies, don't you? You can behave more like a cute and ordinary child from time to time if you want to. ”
Clang.
The two lightly clinked their glasses together.
“If not many guests are watching us, I will ignore it and continue the journey as well. But just now, I was no different from the representatives of the Runcandel Clan, so I had to force myself to become a strict and uncompromising authority figure. ”
"You're right. But what would you do if Huger challenged you to a duel? He's still stronger than you. I thought he was around the 6-star stage? ”
“I believe that it is impossible. And if he really challenged me to a duel, the patriarch and Tuko Clan elders who were watching nervously from the table there would run at full speed to take the Huger from me.”
Jin quietly directed his gaze, and Luna turned her attention to the table of the Tuko Clan. The Patriarch of the Tuko Clan personally scolded Huger for his behavior.
"…fairness. Do you really take that into account and calculate the entire situation as it happens? ”
"Yes. Moreover, the patriarch of the Tuko Clan had already frowned when Huger spoke to me informally. He had already realized that his clan members had made a mistake.”
“Did you learn how to deal with conflict and how to behave appropriately from a noble or something?”
“If there is indeed someone who teaches such life lessons, it is not a bad idea to keep them by my side. The only thing I learned here in the Garden of Swordsmanship is swordsmanship. ”
“That's more than enough, isn't it…? What else do you need to learn?”
“Oh, no, someone like Oldest Brother doesn't need to learn anything else. But the youngest child hated by their brother like me needs to learn many things to ensure their survival.”
"Is that so…?"
Luna sweetly tilted her head naively, as if she really did not know what Jin was talking about. He was born a predator and did not need to be wary of others during his life. So it's no surprise that Luna finds Jin attractive.
On the other hand, Jin watched his older sister in astonishment and surprise.
Meanwhile, Luna thought to herself.
'He is talented, if not more talented than me, but he also has a good head on his shoulders. No wonder someone tried to kill him back at Storm Castle... Who among our brothers realized the potential of Jin all those years ago?’
As the guests watched the two brothers chatting amiably, they wondered if Luna was really the terrifying 'White Pope.
People believe that Luna hates parties and is around people like the White Pope out of myth. However, they couldn't be more wrong. In fact, Luna loves social events more than anyone.
To be more precise, she likes to hide her identity and go to pubs on the street to attend their little parties and dance with others.
“By the way, I came to this banquet to congratulate you, but as I thought, an event like this is not my cup of tea. I'll go somewhere else more pleasant now.”
"Have you left?"
"Yes. You're still too short to dance with me right now. Once you're old enough, I'll take you to the fun little place I know. ”
Brother and sister looked at each other and smiled happily.
"I'll wait for that day to come, Sister."
“Oh, before I leave, I have to leave a message to the guests here like you.”
Luna got up from her chair and walked behind Jin. Then, he gave her a big and deep hug from behind.
'God, why are you doing this? I almost had a heart attack.”
Indeed, Jin almost had a heart attack due to his sudden actions.
'With this, everyone gathered here today will realize that I really care about you, right? Then they will tend to make mistakes and behave violently towards you out of fear for me. Bye then.'
As Luna whispered, the guests who witnessed this scene barely managed to stop their shock and shock from appearing in their expressions.
Whale White—who is known to be awkward around his brothers—openly and proudly shows his love and affection for the youngest.
Moreover, the man who secretly has a crush on Luna is divided into two groups. One group realizes that they must get on Jin's good side and use the boy to get a chance to meet and talk to Luna. Meanwhile, another group of people is …
“Urgh... I am so envious! Fuck those! I also want to hug Lady Luna like that, Lord Vishukel! Uuuuugh, that boy is so lucky!”
Crazy jealousy. And one person specifically expressed his displeasure. Dia—who considers herself the biggest fan of Luna—is Bouvard Gaston.
"ah! Lord Vishukel, I will definitely write a poem about him tonight. Haaa, even with my perfect transformational abilities, I will never be able to make someone as beautiful and as great as him.”.
Meanwhile, Vishukel Yvliano's head almost exploded in annoyance.
He had come to attend this banquet using his position as the next patriarch of the Yvliano Clan, but his true purpose was to observe the movements and actions of the Runcandel Clan for Kinzelo.
He originally planned to come alone, but Bouvard begged him to take him in as Vishukel's servant, and was angry until the deputy leader Kinzelo agreed.
This decision has created so many problems and problems.
But the main problem was that 'servants' guests were not allowed to join the Runcandel banquet. Therefore, Vishukel had to beg the Garden to allow Bouvard to enter. He even had to convince his little sister to come over and use her deformed legs as an excuse to let the fatty in.
However, the only reason behind Bouvard's desire to attend the banquet was to see Luna Runcandel. Vishukel hid his trembling fists who could not wait to punch Bouvard in the pocket of his coat.
“Aaaah, Mr. Vishukel. Tonight, I will write a poem for Lady Luna and sing it all night. All night!”
“Shut up a minute, Bouvard Gaston.”
“Please don't be like that, Brother. This may be an important matter for Mr. Bouvard. And thanks to Mr. Bouvard, I was able to attend and observe the famous banquet of Runcandels called the party 'single wooden bridge'.”
A woman with beaming eyes spoke to her brother from a Bouvard-driven wheelchair.
Vishukel's only sister, Margiela Yvliano.
“Lady Margiela is an understanding and kind woman. Sniffing, sniffing.. I, Bouvard Gaston, will explore every nook and cranny of this banquet hall for you, Milady!”
“Thank you, Bouvard.”
Group three is quite striking because of the wheelchair. In fact, Jin's attention is caught by them and he calmly notices them, but he does not recognize Vishukel or Bouvard.
He had no idea Vishukel was the deputy leader of Kinzelo in his past life, while Bouvard had changed his appearance with his transformation skills.
After a while, Jin took his eyes off them. People once again came to mince words with him, so he did not have time to continue observing them.
'It's exhausting, being a night star. Anyway, where did that Zipfels go..?’.
Jin had been searching for Zippel's visitors who arrived at the last moment. It was obvious that they were the guests Jin was most wary of.
However, Jin was unable to find the Zippel boy and girl among the thousands of guests in the hall. Maybe they were hiding in one corner of the room, trying not to attract anyone.
'Hm, this is a bit disturbing, but let's try walking around the hall to look for them.'
Jin was about to get off his chair, when suddenly…
Cocktail!
Someone put their wine glass on Jin's table and sat down next to him.
"May I dare ask for a glass on the rising star of Runcandels?"
Although his words were polite, his tone of voice was not the same. It was the voice of a young woman who sounded like she was challenging him.
Jin raised his head and made eye contact with the girl. He then could not help but laugh softly.
“Ah, you..”.
“I Syris Endorma from Hidden Palace. It's an honor to meet you.”
Syris smiled faintly with narrowed eyes.
