欲望保姆

After some time had passed, the ceremony with Tristan\'s ascension was about to begin. Currently, Reina has her arms linked toward mine.

We were in a room with a large podium in the back of the room. This room could fill up thousands of people, with the ceremony being a party, everyone was here to enjoy.

This was the perfect place for my skill to work. I was close enough to curse him, and with this many people, no one could link it directly to me.

I know that I\'m playing the role of her boyfriend, but don\'t you think this was too excessive? I could have released it, but that would give me some weird looks.

There were already some news articles about Reina and me being engaged. Fuck! How did it get to this? If I broke the so-called engagement, my reputation would be ruined.

"Reina, are you sure you want to go through with the plan? Your mother and father would be devastated once that happens."

I whispered to Reina only loud enough for her to hear. Reina closed her eyes and was in deep thought.

Reina was currently hesitating. Now the time for her brother to die was near, she hesitated. This was normal, after all. Even after six years, there was still that little affection that Reina had for him.

After a while, Tristan, Reina\'s brother, arrived. Tristan was standing on the podium. Like Reina and her mother, he had white hair and blue eyes.

Ranking in 1400, he was pretty good. Tristan briefly glanced at Reina and me but took his eyes off after seeing Reina looking back.

Along with his father, Matthew stood on the podium along with Tristan. At first glance, I couldn\'t tell if they were related in any way.

"Good morning, everyone."

Even though his voice wasn\'t loud, everyone who heard it listened.

"Before we start the succession rights, I want everyone to enjoy today\'s party."

"Hope you\'ll have a nice day."

Matthew left the podium and let Tristan take the lead. As the next head, he would have to stand his ground.

"As my father said, I hope you will enjoy this party. Today is an important day for the Burgess family, and I, as the next head, will take this family to the next step."

"I won\'t take any more of your time, so enjoy the party."

Like Matthew, Tristan also did a short speech. With no one else left talking, everyone here did their own thing.

This was my first time at a party, and I didn\'t know what to do. It was a good thing Reina was still holding me.

"Miss Burgess, I heard this man is your finance. You picked a good choice."

"..."

Speaking to Reina, a random girl with a dress showed up. I don\'t know who she is, but she seems to know Reina.

"Miss Wells. I thought you were staying at the academy."

Was she a student at our academy? From how Reina worded it, she was probably a student from our school.

"There\'s no way I would miss a big event like this."

Miss Wells shook her head and shrugged, showing she wouldn\'t miss something significant.

"Charles Anderson? I didn\'t think you would be Miss Burgess\'s finance. There were many talks among women in our school about you."

Is that so? I wasn\'t close to any other student, so this was something that I wouldn\'t know. With my looks and current standing, I wasn\'t stupid enough not to know why.

"They will disappear in due time."

It\'s not like they could talk about me forever. I will be in the academy for a while, so the people talking about me will die down.

"Are you not so fond of fame?"

"I have no interest in it."

It would only bother me in the long run. The only good thing about fame is the gifts I receive from those who admire me.

"But from the looks of it, you will be more of the center of attention. Look who you\'re with."

Ms. Walls took a glance at Reina and looked back at me. After this, how do I get rid of this relationship with Reina? And who even spread the rumors of me being engaged to Reina?

"Anyways, I would like to talk more, but there are other people I have to attend to. Tata!"

And with that, Ms. Walls left us alone. Reina and I still had our arms crossed. How long are we going to be like this?

"Reina, where are we going?"

With us alone, Reina started to walk in a different direction. She hadn\'t said anything and had started to drag me around.

Upon arriving on the party room\'s balcony, Reina stared at the sky. At the beginning of Ms. Walls\'s talk, Reina looked dazed.

"Reina, what\'s wrong?"

This time I put more force into my words. She should at least answer me. But even then, she frowned and walked away with me on the balcony.

She better give me an explanation after this. Trusting what Reina would do, Reina went to her mother and wanted to talk.

"An invasion will arrive in five minutes."

Invasion? How does Reina know? Her skill, was it future sight? Or some predictability? With how everything is going on her way, I wouldn\'t be surprised if it is.

"An invasion? Thank you, honey, for the warning."

"Charles, could I ask you to protect my daughter?"

"I won\'t let anything harm Reina."

With her beside me, as long as there was no crossfire around us, we should be fine. If there was an invasion, we had to hide.

"Thank you. Now hide. I will make a quick call."

Jennifer then stormed off and did her thing, and Reina had us running away from the party scene. There wasn\'t much of a place to hide within five minutes, but Reina tried her best to lead us to a safe place.

Even after five minutes, Reina ran in a direction with a plan in mind.

[System Initiated.]

[Invasion will arrive in one minute]

[Invaders left: 100]

And with that, the crowd began to panic.
