Chapter 12: The Protagonist

Theos and Alice walked a the mansion with their hands intertwined. The nobles were curious about the couple, both because of their extreme beauty and because of Theos himself, who looked like a unique individual with unique features such as completely black hair and a crimson red eye.

However, the nobles did not try to approach the couple, mainly because Count Rasforh treated them with the same respect as a prince.

Theos' eyes roamed the room, taking in the dless meals: turkey in the ov, stews, soups, light meals.... He approached the food and devoured it one by one with total elegance and care, without making a sound.

"The tortilla stew is heavly," Theos commted softly and conttedly. He hadn't eat since his transmigration, so his hunger was no joke.

Alice watched him siltly. "He's quite cute wh he eats," she thought without realizing it, as she moved to taste the stew Theos had mtioned.

"Delicious," Alice said, surprised by the taste of the food.

"Yes, they have an excellt cook here, but I don't think he's superior to you," Theos said with complete sincerity.

"I prepared it with a lot of love; it would be an insult if you didn't like it," Alice replied with an angry expression, but inside, she was happy about the complimt. How long had she waited for a complimt from him? She served him every day, but all she got was a cold, indiffert look.

"Forgive me if I have offded you, my lady," Theos said jokingly with a slight smile, feeling equally happy in his heart. He felt that the sudd change in their relationship would be extremely awkward, as she had previously considered him her master. Fortunately, she seemed to adapt quickly to their new situation, and most importantly, she did so happily.

Alice rolled her eyes and did not react to his jokes. After all, it was a gathering of nobles, she couldn't playfully argue with him in such a tse atmosphere.

Theos understood this and did not insist.

"Hello, guys, it's nice to meet you," Theos introduced himself with an indiffert and cold, yet elegant and magnetic voice, making all the young m lose themselves in his voice for a second.

"Hello, it's nice to meet you too, my name is Alan Roy, of the Roy family," the first person to emerge from the hypnotic state of Theos' voice introduced himself politely.

'Of course, the first one to introduce himself is the protagonist' he thought amusedly. He didn't want to talk to him too much, so he just nodded and ignored him.

"Hey, what's your name?" asked Alan, a bit annoyed, because he didn't like Theos; after all, he was much better looking, so it left a bitter taste in his mouth. And if that wasn't ough, there was a certain natural animosity betwe them.

Hearing the contempt in Alan's voice, Theos raised an eyebrow. 'I understand that I ignored him, but that voice of contempt and slight hatred shouldn't just be for that? Maybe the protagonist naturally felt some mity or hatred towards the villain?' this possibility circulated in Theos' mind, but he ignored it without giving it much importance.

Yes, Alan is the protagonist, but .... So what? Besides, the more hate and negative emotions, the more negative ergy Theos will have. It's like winning without doing anything.

"My name?... Call me Ark for now; in a few days, you'll know my name," Theos answered directly, walking past Alan.

"What?" question marks filled Alan's mind; he couldn't understand what he had heard. In a few days, I will know his name. How does he know I will know his name in a few days? A flood of questions began to circulate in his mind.

Theos had no inttion of answering his doubts, so he turned his atttion to a young girl sitting apart from the other youngsters.

'Bingo!'
