~The String of Fate~ discontinued... Well, continued on another account ??

Chapter 13:

But it seems that I underestimated Lady Versutas's influence over the social circle. Though it was true that her reputation along with the rest of the Allisun mansion did take quite a hit from the tea party.

But I guess the act wasn't entirely a waste. Sure, now I looked like a totally naive fool who had no sense of self-respect, but isn't exactly what I was going for to break off my engagement with Anartis?

'Speaking of Anartis, just where the hell is he?' I searched through the crowd of people for my blue shiny long-haired, tyrannical, fiance. Who would probably be with Avis right about now.

"Oi. What are you waddling about like a lost baby chick for?" Speak of the devil, just as I was thinking of him, Avis appeared behind me with his usual furrowed brows expression.

"I was looking for a terrance to escape and spend the rest of the banquet in." I said with the first reasonable lie that came to mind, Avis was an idiot and thus seemed to believe it.

"Haa... I know you're not interested in meeting him, but father told me to take you to him anyway. So follow me." Avis sigh in annoyance as he turned his back to me and began walking away.

"Meet who?" I raised a brow at Avis in curiosity but did as I was told anyway since it was not like I had anything better to do as another irritated sigh escaped his lips.

"Who else? Your fiance." Avis responded as I suddenly froze in response while my brain struggled to process this newfound information, Avis had grown used to this kind of brain freeze.

In the past two days when I would go over to his and drag Vidoro with me to do his skincare, he noticed that usually, whenever I asked him what happened for every forming pimple he had.

And he responded with a ridiculously stupid and shocking answer, my brain would freeze, and then I'd start cursing him out for being so irresponsible and torturing his skin like this.

Vidoro even lent him his huge vault to lock himself into at one point but then I brought that "Devil's instrument", or that's what Avis and Vidoro called Teehee.

And he had even learned to wait for the brain finish processing whatever information it had just leatbed, aka patience. What a miracle.

"Hold up- What?" I asked after my brain had finally managed to finish processing what he had just said.

"Father wants you to meet your fiance, so he told me to fetch you." Avis repeated as I nudged him forward.

"Well, what are you waiting for?! Lead the way!" I exclaimed as Avis shot me a confused look, after what he overheard in the duke's office the other day, he was sure I'd be dreading meeting Anartis.

But he decided to do as I had said anyway since this was preferable to dealing with my whining about how I didn't want this engagement and all. I would've never whined in the first place.

Sovine would though.

"Father, I've brought her." Avis practically announced as we stepped onto the terrace with me a few steps behind him.

Right beside my father, was the man I was now engaged to, though I did hate the fact that I had to get engaged to him, I couldn't lie that this bitch was really damn hot.

He didn't have his hair put in a braid and tossed over his shoulder today like he always did in the game and casual events, but I wasn't complaining.

Though I hate to admit it, he looked gorgeous with his long hair straight pastel blue hair let down, especially with that white hair clip with purple gems pulling back a side of his parted bangs.
