Third Person's Pov

As the door opens, all the people inside the hall turns their head to see the Lady.

Alucard's Pov

When someone announced about the Lady's arrival behind the door. Everyone inside the hall stop talking for a while and as the door opens all heads turns towards it , that includes ours, to see the Lady.

Since I consider her just like my sister I also needs to observe her during this banquet, such naive and frail Lady if ever someone bothers her I need to step up for her.

Anyway since she's here already soon father will also be here. I just came early since I arrive along with these three ( the other prince's).

After the door opens and the Lady walks in silence covered the hall. And even without looking around I somehow know that I am not the only one who can't take my eyes away as I look at her.

I can say that this little sister of mine which I already promised myself to protect is really good looking specially on the dress that she is currently wearing. Blue looks good on her it makes her eyes looks more radiant.

Seeing her appearance tonight makes me more weary of her surrounding. I know she is capable of self defense but as a Lady her strength won't be enough if a man wants to attack her.

" Make sure to keep an eye on her and protect her from any harm" I said loud enough for the other three to hear.

" You don't need to say it, that's an obvious thing to do" Kaja said " Right of course such precious sister of us how can we let her be harmed in any way" Valir added.

I also hear a deep hmmmm from Roger on my side. During the time the we are able to know the Lady I know that all four of us end up considering the Lady as part of the group and just like a sister.

Lady Miya's Pov

Since I can feel everyone's eyes on me before walking to my designated sit or table I just do a simple greetings to everyone. As I walk to my sit I can still feel the eyes thats following each of my movement.

This feels uncomfortable but I can only ignore it, as I arrive on my table before sitting down since the crown prince and the other prince's are sitting in front of me I greet each of them which they also acknowledge.

As for Hilda she needs to stand at the back along with the other maidens and eunuch.

I know we'll be sitting for sometime later luckily my wound is healing well its no longer painful.

The silence finally come to an end when Lady Layla, the prime Minister's wife, whose sitting on my right side spoke.

" I'm glad to see Lady Miya tonight, its been quite some time since I last so you " she said . I smiled at her " Yes indeed Lady Layla, how have you been?" I go along to keep the conversation going.

" I'm doing great my Lady, I heard that you also enjoyed your visit to the south" she added.

" Yes indeed, though some unexpected things happened I am still able to enjoy and experience great thing there" I answered back. By the way Lady Layla knows about my identity the prime minister is one of the loyal subject of his majesty.

As we start a small conversation between us. The others also starts to talk with themselves which I'm thankful. They finally stop paying attention on our direction.

" Thank you Lady Layla" I said making sure that she's the only one who can hear it. She smiled in response. She also knows me well enough to know that I feel uncomfortable earlier that's why she started to talk to me.

She's also one of my mother's close friend that's why she is familiar with myself.
