Chapter 276 - Disguise (3)

"He just left," I almost collapsed onto the floor when Liam gave up.

"I'll let the others know," Ethan sighed in relief with me.

This plan was more effective than I thought it was. It saved me from Liam, who was an unstable murderer who couldn't control his powers. This was exactly why grand party dresses were dangerous to wear. It made you a prime target!

Ethan soon left me to help out the other guests. This time, I walked near the walls to be less noticeable. I needed to continue blending in the background as much as possible.

"Hold my shawl for me while I take a drink," one of the guests gestured to me to come closer to her.

I held her shawl while I waited for her to get a drink from the buffet table. Thankfully, this guest didn't notice my odd outfit. As soon as the guest picked up a shawl, another one came up to me to hold their drinks for them.

"I can't believe the most powerful fraction cancelled their event for the next few days," one of them muttered.

"They must have had the same problem as the minor ones," the person who responded seemed to be enjoying the gossip.

"Did you also hear that the Impalia fraction had recently announced their successors?" he brought up another topic.

"Yea. Their successors are from the Roselia family. I heard they chose them since they recently joined the same fraction as them."

"Isn't that like their fourth fraction? How much power is the Roselia family trying to gain over joining so much?"

"I'm more curious how they joined the fractions all over the political spectrum."

"I heard that the fiancée to the Roseila family heir knows everyone in the upper ranks," another person joined them.

"Apparently that's the reason why the Roselia family was chosen as the Impalia fraction successors. She apparently knows all the weaknesses in each fraction. I heard from our fraction leader that she was the cause of all the cancelled events," he explained.

My eyes slightly widened as I never knew how fast the news travelled in the first district. It was no wonder that most fractions tried to cover up anything undesirable as fast as possible. I continued to listen to them, trying to gain more information from them.

"Have you ever seen the fiancée to the Roseila family heir?" one of them asked.

"Don't you know the Roselia family and their fractions try to keep her hidden as much as possible? She rarely appears in any parties and if she does, she stays with her fellow fraction members, making it hard to approach her. It's hard to see her from so far away," he sighed.

And that person was right in front of them, holding their drinks for them. I was also carrying one of their blazers they passed to me. I stood still like a statue, enjoying hearing how others thought of me. It was nice knowing how you appeared from another perspective.

"How would people like us be ever able to approach her?" another person agreed.

"She does live in a whole other world. By the way, did you notice the fairy powder around the events these days?" A new person joined while carefully looking around.

"Fairy powder?" Everyone appeared confused.

"One of my fraction members managed to get their hands on some fairy powder. Apparently, if you spray some fairy powder in the air in ancient places full of mana then it lures them to you. If you manage to get into a contract with one of them, your mana will increase," he explained.

'Aren't fairies like something mystical?' They looked at him with disbelieving eyes.

"We didn't manage to find any," he admitted his failed attempt.

So it was his fraction that was putting people in danger! How could they get something like fairy powder that exploded drinks everywhere? How were they able to get them in the first place?

"But how were you able to get them?" One of them had the same question.

"It's one of his family's possessions that they have been keeping for thousands of years. His family helps keep the history in the first district. But their power has been decreasing lately that this is all they're known for now," he explained.

"That's why he has been trying to gain more mana to restore his family's reputation," he seemed to sympathize with him.

I was sure his fraction leader was keeping the fact that they met a fairy a secret. They didn't want to admit that they helped to lure such dangerous beings to the events in social week. It was no wonder these fairies appeared here with all that fairy powder. And it was extremely bad luck Ella's brother was in the same place where they were sprayed.

"I heard that a fairy did actually appear in one of the events," another person joined them to reveal.

"Seriously?" His eyes widened.

"I heard they only targeted one person though," he seemed to pity me.

"What do you mean by target?" He tried to probe for more information.

"Daggers flew to kill her and a whole chandelier shook to fall on top of her after a cup exploded," he recalled the rumors.

"I'll have to let him know about this," the person ran to warn his fellow fraction member.

"Who was the target?" Others seemed curious.

"The fiancée to the Roseila family heir," he whispered.
