Chapter 164 - 156

As the crowd went back to their spirits as they clapped for the performance and looked at Chun with praise and acknowledgement. Opposite to this was the seemed to be in a strange atmosphere table of the Royal Family, they had their own thoughts while they were in luck to be able to attend this event. 

They thought that it would be a hassle to go on this kind of small event but they didn't think that they would stumble something interesting. The four of them were fortunate. The first princess quietly drank her tea while she enjoyed the relaxing scent.

The silver haired young man almost choked on her food when the eighth prince who started to act out of character suddenly patted heavily on her back as he was very amazed and surprised at Chun's performance.

"Truly breathtaking… truly breathtaking!" he continued to pat. 

Even Leika who was beside the eighth prince, stretched her hands and started to pick food for the silver haired young man.

"Eat more... You are amazing!"

Chun once again felt the heating up mission card as she glanced at the smiling second miss. Though, Chun got her progress but she knew that it wasn't still finish. She needed to act for the final step which that 'worth' would involved.

Somehow that opportunity came in.

"As expected a first year from Charm Excellence. Such an eye-opener. I do not want to ask Chun what he used to that kind of spell but may I ask if it's your own handcrafted spell?" The first miss inquired as she looked at the calmly eating silver haired young man. 

Chun put down her knife and fork as she gracefully drank tea. She turned to the first miss' question and replied. 

"Yes. It's my own."

Gasps from the Charmers resounded. It was said to be difficult to master hand seals infused with charm than chanting or calling it out but the more harder the procedure, the more it would be critical for the opponent. At same time, making your own hand seals were more ten times harder than mastering an existing one but it depended to the Charmer if he/she could create an effective skill from it, there was a 5% out of 100 one could create a very viable and critical spell. 

After realization hit them, the Charmers were looking in disbelief while the others scoffed as they weren't a fool to easily believe it. Although that amazing spell a while ago was breathtaking and full of cryptic seals but it could be determined that was just a spell for performance, for dazzling the audience. It had no strong points. Such a shame for that arduous hand seals performed by that silver haired young man to be able to come up a small thing.

Some sighed and some frowned, they weren't interested on this topic anymore. 

The first miss noticed this as she smiled at Chun and change the subject. 

"Alright. Now that an astounding Charmer had performed then we must not forget our main star for this event. My precious younger sister, Amper. May we call her to give us some enlightenment!"

The way Emery was leading the crowd, the silver haired young man was amused to it as this first miss was qualified to be one of the performers in the Circus. She had class and elegance while on stage but if compared to Degris - the celebrity host of the Circus - she couldn't be up compared to him. 

The second miss with unperturbed expression got up from her chair as Daia and the others cheered for her. Chun almost got a heart attack at the sudden face that had popped up in front of her vision. 

The ugly face of Xuan blocked her line of sight as he stated, "There are charm oppressors around the platform." 

Chun kept silent while turning her head towards the conspicuous intricate designs of the side platform. It wasn't noticeable if one didn't look enough but tge silver haired young man had seen this familiar symbols, although charm oppressors were not rare but using it as design on the stage could give out one's motive.

The silver haired young man didn't feel the activation of it while she was performing there but what if it activated during the second miss' performance?

"If you prevented her from performing then it would greatly increase the favorability rate by ten percent but if you let it be then nothing happens. You won't get implicated but you have no gai---"

"Stop!" Chun said to the snobbish system but the people on her table misinterpreted it. Luckily no one other than her group had heard it as the silver haired young man excused herself to talk with her system in secret. It would be strange if she suddenly talk in air, she would be crazy then.

As the people were focused at the second miss in front. Chun unnoticeably walked out from the garden to find a place to talk with Xuan.

The snobbish system also followed behind with his uncaring manner. Chun suddenly turned and spoke to the other.

"I will not intervene."

"A-huh." Xuan nodded, not caring about her explanation.

Chun frowned at this so-called system of hers as she thought, 'Did the higher management had mistaken on sending this unreliable partner?'

The silver haired young man erased her doubts immediately as she set aside her complaints. 

"Because I'm in a good mood, I'll explain it to you---" Before Chun could state her brilliant plan in order to instantly capture the first target, Xuan cut in.

"No need. I know it already. You figured out that without power then she had no worth."

Chun beamed like winning a lottery at Xuan's accurate conclusion as she added, "Yes. Without shame, there wouldn't be realization."

Xuan: ….

"What?"

"You're bad at idioms."

"Shut up!"

The snobbish system shrugged and suddenly remembered something, "Hurry up with your side mission." And then he disappeared.

Chun quirked her forehead as she cursed the other. It wasn't her fault that the first target, although they were both close, Amper was difficult to read. She was someone good at hiding her true feelings. 

Always calm and cold to people, kind and understanding to her people as she never treated anyone more than business. The silver haired young man had known that, in the second miss' eyes, they were just like disposable pawns to her. Though she acted like she valued them, Chun wasn't blind with that invisible wall that Amper was putting up as even Daia and her group never had cross that place.

What would happen if that 'power' that she was building since her rivalry with her older sister got crushed to dust?

Then what the mission card gave as a hint was the answer to it. Her worth, what was her worth without her power? Those strong connections and allies, what were the use of them?

The silver haired young man went back to the garden and wasn't surprise to witness an expected scene.

Emery was ridiculing the cold faced Amper as she didn't forget to provoke the other through her sweet stabbing words. She thought that her charm oppressor would fail again like in that silver haired young man's performance but it was good that it succeeded. 

It was able to suppress her younger sister's charm element. 

"Father, what happened to younger sister?" Her voice trembled in worry while she didn't forget to add salt on the wounds. "I-is her charm deteriorating?" 

This was the most devastating thing for a Charmer to experience. A charm vanishing, it could be said that for a normal average Charmer whose charm suddenly disappeared, then it would be a terrible fate for them but when it came to a noble and a member of a great noble household at most. This would be a curse for them, a very despairing nightmare.

Although, the second miss appeared to be calm as she looked at the show that her older sister was concocting. Amper was silent but the silver haired young man saw her clenching fisted hands on her skirt. 

'Is she going to crack?'

The silver haired young man's hand was on her pocket as she waited for the card to heat up while chanting on her mind for the side mission to progress. 

Finding an opportunity to increase her favorability.

But Chun didn't imagine that the Left Advisor of the Supreme Ruler also the Head of the Morai Household would speak up.

"Enough." He stood up from his seat. 

Chun almost forgot that the Head Patriarch was still there as he was silent for the whole time of the event. 'I thought that this Left Advisor knew nothing about his older daughter's scheme? Why is he..'

"Emery, you should apologize to your younger sister." It was stern tone that no one could refute. The first miss who was in acting, felt her face paled from their father's reprimand in front of many important people. 

Suddenly Xuan appeared beside the confused silvee haired young man as he stated, "I told you that you just have to prevent it."

"Well, it doesn't concerns me though. Just hurry up with the side mission."
