Chapter 220 - 220: Banquet Part 2.
"Theo, it's good to see you again." Said Kauana as he approached Naiana.
Naiana was a little more shy than usual. But she managed to calm down a while later. She avoided looking into Theo's beautiful golden eyes and said, "Nice to see you again." She bowed right after that.
"Mm." Theo nodded and smiled at them. Making their hearts fire. Especially from Naiana who was afraid Theo would hear her heartbeat.
"I'm glad to see you two again." Theo said, "I hope you're enjoying the banquet."
Jka and the Lord of the City to see that the two did not bother to greet them and only had eyes for Theo. They felt like they were invisible to the two beautiful ladies.
Jka just laughed inwardly and went out towards his wife. While the Lord of the City also went toward where his two daughters and wife were talking to Nanda and Aine.
"Theo... he, is he happy to see me?" Upon hearing this, Naiana felt like a passionate teenager and her face became even hotter.
Kauana, who noticed Naiana's reaction, was helpless. But she also thought it wasn't for nothing. Yeah, she even felt her heart go off when she heard that. Although she thinks Theo was just being polite.
Noting that the two of them were silent, Theo said: "There is a great variety of good tasty foods here today. Have you two eaten?"
"Oh, me, I haven't yet, I'll prove it since Theo said so." Naiana was embarrassed by her own reaction.
Kauana just smiled and said, "We'll talk later then." She said pulling her stunned friend toward the table where the food was located.
Theo just smiled at their reaction but said nothing.
Soon, many influential people came to talk to Theo. They wanted to do as much as possible to create a connection with him. This exact scene happened several times after the departure of Naiana and Kauana. In response, Theo just gave everyone a polite smile while answering one or two questions before talking to a different group of people.
Max, the young man who had his eye on Yuki before. Seeing this scene, for some reason, he was corroded with jealousy and anger. "How is a peasant getting so much attention? Who does he think he is. They should be wanting to talk to me since I'm from the Soiken Empire."
But then, as if he had some kind of enlightenment, he thought, "It's true. They don't know who I am... after all, it's natural that they don't think that someone who came from the great Soiken Human Empire is in a humble city."
The more he thought about it, the more convinced he was that he stayed.
Max coughed a few times. Then he caught everyone's attention and said aloud: "Good evening. I would like a little attention from everyone."
Seeing that everyone was now paying attention to him. Max was happier, but he didn't let it ignite his ego. He then said again, "My name is Max. I came from the Soiken City of the Soiken Empire. I think a lot of you might know, right?" He smiled.
Seeing everyone in silence. Max was convinced that they were surprised and some even afraid, so he had to reassure them, right? Then he said, "Though I am someone important in the eyes of many of you now. But please, treat me normally. I just wanted to say who I am, because there's a girl in question at this party that caught my attention."
Finishing talking. He walked towards Yuki. His eyes shone with confidence. He "knew" that now that she knew who he was. She wouldn't ignore him anymore. And seeing that she was looking in his direction. He was convinced of that. Max's confident smile got even wider.
He didn't even care about people whispering. He thought it was natural. Since he was someone on a different level. As rednecks, it was inevitable that they would be curious about him. That's what he thought.
Yuki narrowed her eyebrows seeing that he was coming towards her. Shina who was on Yuki's side was also surprised by the development of all that. But soon she just shook her head and was quiet, she thought a good show was about to happen.
What a fool. He wants to mess with Yuki. Isn't that the same as condemning yourself to death? Shina couldn't help thinking this kid was a big fool.
Stopping in front of Yuki. He showed his best confident smile and said, "Hello, beautiful lady. Like I said before. My name is Max. I fell in love with you, at first sight, the moment I saw you. You're the muse in my eyes. Do you want to be my wife?"
"Yeah!" He thought, "Look how stunned she is. Now I just need to hear her say yes." He smiled inwardly and the lust shone in his eyes.
"Are you seeking death?"
A voice echoed, interrupting Max's line of thought. He looked in the direction he heard it from. Then he noticed a tall man with golden hair and golden eyes, wearing a dark blue suit, coming towards him.
For some reason. Max shuddered at the look in that man's golden eyes. His heart started to accelerate. Fear was visible on his face.
But he soon managed to calm himself down by thinking, "Why do I need to fear him? He's just a hick. What can he do to me? He probably only wants to show up in front of this beautiful lady. Yes, that's it!"
Like he had found out the truth. Max again had a confident smile on his face as he looked in Theo's direction. But... he still hasn't been able to calm his heart that was threatening to come out of his chest. The bloodthirsty look Theo was giving him was making him fear him as he'd never feared anyone before.
But he didn't want to be a coward in front of the woman he said he liked. Because of this, he forced himself to calm down and continued with a confident smile in Theo's direction when he asked, "Why would I be seeking death?
"Actually, it's very simple." Theo said calmly, walking towards Max: "She is my wife. Tell me, isn't what you're doing the same as seeking your death?"
The crowd was breathing a little cold air. They could feel the intense death intent behind Theo's calm smile. That would make it even scarier.
"Is she married to him?" Max asked himself, but then he thought, "Big deal. That doesn't mean she loves him. I just need to prove that I'm a better partner than him, so she'll be mine, I'm sure of it."
