CHAPTER 176: MAKING AN ENTRANCE

I could hear the noise of the party. According to the protocol, I could not enter the venue before being announced by the King, nor could I enter it alone. I had to accompanied by my *puke sound* fiancé. I was in the waiting room deliberating whether should I barge in onto the party or go for the other option and wait until everyone would be focused on me and then make a commotion. Sadly the sunglasses were not returned to me, so I couldn’t go around looking at people’s eyes, but on the other hand, that is exactly what I am planning on doing to cause chaos.

While I was indecisive the door to the room opened and Vitou entered which made me abandon the first option, since he would not allow me to do so. I also hated to admit, but being all dressed up, he looked really, really good. Much better than I thought he would. I made sure to close my eyes after a short glance.

“Be prepared Nao-chan, we will be heading out soon. My Father and Royal Mother will enter before us and they will be the ones to introduce you.  I will be escorting you. I must say you look real dashing tonight, but seeing your face is the loveliest sight. Those dark glasses really do you wrong and hide your true beauty. Come, open your eyes and look at me.”

Honey coated words will do nothing to me. I had already made a plan to fail the wedding and I would start the first part of it tonight. I will make sure to make others doubt the truth about this “happy” marriage.

“If I look at you, I don’t think you will be happy. In fact, you will regret it. But if you insist, I will indulge you this one small thing.”

“If that is the case, I will insist on it. I want you to look at me, after all you are my fiancée. Also you will need to see where you are going, otherwise you might stumble.”

I smiled, if he wants to be embarrassed then sure, I will go ahead and open my eyes. He was standing a small distance away from me and I kind of wanted to know what effect [Charm] would have on him, since the skill should be more effective on him that it was on the maid who had absolutely no relation to me up to this day. I was looking down and as I raised my head I saw his outstretched hand, but I didn’t take. I simply looked at him in the eye. However, what happened next was definitely something that I did not expect.

His lips were definitely on mine and his hand was definitely rising up the hem of my dress exposing my legs. RED LIGHT! I didn’t hold back and slapped him full force across his cheek leaving a clear red imprint on it. As he got slapped, he nicked my lip making me taste blood.

“Snap out of it you animal!”

Absolutely no was that I will be looking directly at him tonight, or any other night. If this was the outcome I most certainly do not want it. Luckily receiving a slap made him sober up a bit because I could hear him calming down his breathing.

“Nao-chan, what… I mean…sorry.”

“You asked for it. I never thought you were an animal like this. It’s disgusting.”

“Nao-chan, what did you do to me? I completely lost control. It is not my fault, but you were just so seductive at that moment. You can’t blame it on me.”

“You’re a pig!”

I ignored him. If he was going to act this way, then I had no excuse for him. I waited to hear the announcement from the King. Heck, why wait, I should just head outside immediately. It’s not like I must follow the protocol. I went for the door, but as suspected Vitou was there to stop me.

“What do you think you’re doing? You haven’t been announced yet.”

“No abiding rules, that is what I am doing.”

“Just behave tonight. This event is important since it shows the joy if the couple. Hence the white clothing we are wearing. Don’t disgrace this tradition.”

“Yeah right, joy and purity. It does not represent me at all. Ever considered what I might be feeling? No?”

I could hear clamor outside. The King must have arrived, time to set the plan in motion. The guards stationed outside opened the doors for the two of us to enter.

“Remember, don’t do anything Nao-chan and just act nicely. Act pleased at the very least since asking you to be happy seems to be too much.”

He took my by the arm and led me down the hall towards the stairs leading onto the main hall where the party is being held. A round of applause as soon as we appeared. I knew that the time was right. From the inventory I took out a small pouch I prepared earlier as one of the test products for a new shop I planned on opening. The pouch had ground magic crystals enchanted with magic.

There were eight stairs that I had to take before reaching the ground floor and it was here that I would make my move and silent protest against this marriage.

The first stair, I blew the powder onto my dress. I made it so that it will change the color of my clothes once it comes into contact with it. Second stair, I could feel the magic begin latching onto my dress and reacting with my mana. I knew that this would work as I already tested it earlier while I was alone.

The third stair, I opened my eyes and looked at the crowd below me. No matter what, I had to look strong and independent. I should definitely not look like a little lost lamb.

The fourth stair, the change began occurring from the hem of my dress towards the neckline. The color of the dress began turning from with to pitch black. I heard the gasps and saw the shock on the faces of guests.

Fifth stair, Vitou finally looked at me and I heard him hiss out almost cursing. Serves you right. I told you I am not joyful about this at all.

Sixth stair, the cloth of the dress entirely changed with all the white turned into black and gold threads turned into blood red.

Seventh stair, I let out both intimidating and charming aura I possessed making sure it spreads to every single corner of the room. I want to all their attention on me. I’ll show them I’m not to be messed with.

Eighth step, the crowd moved away from us allowing us to move onto the ground floor. There was no applause, nor did I want one. The King and Queen allowed us to pass and go first since we were the stars of the party, but the King looked really angry for a second there before regaining his natural expression.

Stepping onto the ground floor, a bastard that I shall not name stepped forward completely unaffected by the stifling atmosphere in the room and broke all the effort I put into creating all this.

“My dear sister, you sure do know how to show us a spectacle. I was expecting you would try and bolt and then I would have to retrieve you, but this is brilliant. Protesting and remaining gracefully, while also doing advertisement. I like it. You look stunning.”
