Chapter 10 - 10

Shuho Household, Main Hall

Event: Young Master Chun's Banquet

Everyone was very happy as they chatted freely. All of  the elite family was invited to this banquet.

While talking, ȧduŀts' topics would be all about business, showing-off their family's heritage and some are boasting about the achievements of their sons or daughters.

Like a typical event.

And meanwhile the youngsters spoke all about beautiful girls and handsome boys, and some are who's identity are most popular.

Apparently, the host of the banquet was bored to death. Chun was surrounded by beautiful female species. They swarmed all around him like they're going to eat him up if no one's looking.

"Young Master Chun, do you like sweets?"

"Young Master Chun, am I sėxy?"

"Young Master! Look here!"

"No! Look to me!"

Tsk. They're so annoying. I can't really relate to some guys, why would they enjoy this kind of attention?

Suddenly someone tugged Chun's arm, getting his attention.

It's a pretty blue eyed maiden.

"Young Master Chun?... what type of girl do you like?" the maiden asked, that made the pretty ladies around him silent.

Chun laugh his heads off.

The question was very amusing to him. Unfortunately, to these young women around here, his laugh sounds very sėxy, giving music to their ears.

Chun glance at the maiden who asked the question,"My type is... a girl that looks like me."

With his husky voice and alluring smile. Once again the ladies fell on his charm.

Even though Chun sounded so narcistic, to them; it added to his handsomeness.

"A narcistic prince to be true"

After a while, a servant came clamoring in, announcing the royal family's arrival.

"King Lee Gui with his queen, Queen Emeryte An"

"Prince Gsiusb jsbx"

"Jdisnmd jsbsmxisbvbxh"

Chun didn't dwell longer on these crazy ladies' presence. He silently escaped with ease, returning to his father's side. Shenin was wearing his forest green robe adorned with some leaves pattern. He majestically stood there while talking to his cousin, the King.

"Did you enjoy the company of the beauties?" Shenin teased his 'son'.

"Enjoy you say," Chun sarcastically replied and went to the buffet table.

The buffet table was full of exquisite food. From the main course down to the dessert, it will make your mouth to water from its look but unfortunately the guests are more focused on talking than their food. Though all the food was prepared perfectly.

*poink

Chun's plate almost fall down when he was suddenly got poked on his side.

"Hi, Hubby!"

Cherry happily greeted Chun. And she gesture her butler for something.

And the butler named Priez obediently take out a small black box.

"Young Master, please receive this from the bottom of Young Lady's heart," Priez handed the small black box to Chun.

Chun leisurely take it,"Is this your gift, Zharine?" He looked at the plain black box, there's something on it that gave him a familiar feeilng.

"Yes, why? Are you not satisfied? I can give you my one night, Honey!" Cherry shamelessly proposed to Chun. It made Chun's ear turned red.

"N-no. That's not neccesary. By the way, what kind of present is this?"

Chun closely inspect the small box. It looks like a pendant's container.

"It will help you in protecting yourself, Hubby" Cherry shamelessly clunged to Chun's right arm without Chun minding because his very busy on the suspicious small black box.

The plain looking box was then open; a black cross pendant with strange intricates swirling around the cross came to his sight.

"What's this?" Chun obliviously asked, touching the cross' exquisite appearance.

"That's an ancient mystical weapon, Hubby," Cherry was still clunged on Chun while rubbing her cute face to Chun's arm.

"How did you possessed it?"

Ancient mystical weapons are very hard to obtain even the King itself only possess one. These weapons are very valuable because it had a unique power on it, giving the host an advantage towards power. The only downside is it picks its own master, if you can't use it then give up.

"Well, my grandfather originally gave it to me and he said that if I can't able to 'use' it then I can just give it to someone else"

Cherry pouted her small pink lips while explaining, looking cute to Chun.

Xi Chen was sitting in a table together with Ryo and Fran. He was wearing his black robes with some cloud patters on its sleeves, he looked very mysterious and cold.

They are here to monitor 'some' person.

"Are you really sure, Fran?" Ryo asked while his eyes roamed around the hall.

"I'm very sure. Someone tipped me that 'thing' is here"

An odd vase in a corner. The main hall was decorated with royal blue adornment with a touch of black on its intricates. There's moonflowers in every corner of the hall and each vase was adorned with blue swirling intricates and all of them was designed with a winged-deity with no face.

But the vase that Xi Chen was looking is something that was out of place. The deity on it has no wings and you will not really notice it if you did not observe well.

Xi Chen stood up.

"First-Gen? Where are you going?" Ryo obliviously asked while playing his wine.

"In that corner"

"Oh! You're going to that cheeky beauty, the host of the event," Ryo smiled slyly while Fran was nonchalant on his surroundings.

Coincidentally, the corner which Xi Chen was going is where Chun was standing, drinking his wine. He already finished his plate of food and he regretted on eating those tempting food to his fill.

"You must be Chun? The host of the event,"

Chun was brought back from his trance when someone spoke from his side.

It's the First General Xi Chen.

"General? What are you doing here? You're not going to join the royal family?" Chun innocently asked.

Chun knew that even though the first general was favored by the King, still the 4th Prince and Xi Chen has a dispute for 'unknown' reasons.

Chun was adding oil to the fire.

"..."

Xi Chen didn't reply and proceeded on his real business here.

Chun just strangely glance on Xi Chen. Xi Chen was busy examining the vase while inspecting every leaves of the moonflower.

He's lucky that the moonflowers that I asked to put here was not poisonous.

"What are you looking at?" Chun was curious to what this general was doing.

Xi Chen just continued not answering. Chun just admired the cold general. He look very handsome on his black robe.

Apparently, fate had to be playful.

The 4th Prince which is Prince Si Hua walked to where Chun was standing.

"Toast to the host" Prince Si Hua arrogantly greeted to Chun.

"My pŀėȧsurė, 4th Prince"

Prince Si Hua's eyes roamed around Chun's enchanting features.

"You're really beautiful, I would really take you as my consort but unfortunately to my dismay"

The 4th Prince sighed.

Chun only smiled at him while drinking his wine.

Suddenly, someone caught the prince's sight.

"What a coincidence, the great general is here," Prince Si Hua mockingly said at the busy Xi Chen.

Xi Chen straighten his back after he finished his business.

He just stared at the smirking Si Hua, coldly.

While Chun can't wait to see the show that was about to start from the sideline, he was disturbed by a servant.

"Young Master, the master said that you may begin your greetings"

Sigh.

"Hmm"

"My third son, the host of this banquet will give you his thoughts"

Chun elegantly walk to the platform with his regal and handsome charm exuding. All the audience's eyes was on him.

The glaring contest between the First general and the 4th Prince stop. They adverted their sight at the platform

Xi Chen then gestured to Ryo.

Ryo just nodded and continued surveiling the area.

After Chun finished his astounding speech, he looked for his two brothers. He caught them entered when he was on the midst of his greetings.

"Third brother!" Kei (Second Brother) shouted near Chun, Chun felt that his ear going to pop out because of Kei.

This idiot.

Aito (Eldest Brother) just rolled his eyes towards Kei's unruly behavior.

Aito was wearing sky blue robes with some geometric patterns, looking like a genius scholar while on the other hand, their second brother was wearing his dark blue robes with swirling roses around it, he looked like a romantic playboy.

"We brought you some present, Chun" Aito just smiled while patting Chun's head.

He usually did this when they were a child and Chun was still their younger sister.

Chun just glared at Aito.

"Your gift is on Art"

"Thank you, brothers---"

"Young Lady! Get down!"

*swish

Suddenly the room went black.
