Dinner party

After turning the coat into ashes i picked just simple clothes i.e a tuxedo . After that the next ajenda was to check on Livia's condition.

Even Joanne was present there . And Livia was awake . I quickly rushed over to her bed .

Jay : Thank god you're finally awake . I'm sorry i shouldn't have left you . Please forgive me .

Livia : Huh , why are you sorry (puzzled) . And why would i resent you

She doesn't remember anything thus she doesn't hold any resentment towards me . Joanne was happy she regained consiousness in fact so happy she cried tears of happiness .

Joanne : Here take this .(hands a letter ) this is an invitation to the party held at the general's manor . I can't go because i have to look after Livia atleast one of us could enjoy it .

Jay : I don't need it .

Joanne : Don't try to act cool here take it .

Jay : You didn't let me finish . I have already been invited to the party . And i have already picked out my clothes .

Livia: Joanne please enjoy don't worry about me I'm not going to die .

Joanne : I still can't think of leaving you in this situation.

Livia : (sigh) Don't make me resent you Joanne .

Joanne : (Sighs) yes .

Livia does know how to keep Joanne on the line .

That is a good talent .

Livia: Now both of you disperse i want to sleep now ( Arrogantly) .

Before her we were both helpless . So i left and Joanne stayed besides her .

It was now 7.55 pm and i had fully dressed up walking down the street in a black tuxedo. And met up with Livia who had dressed in a bright red dress and high heels .

She looked puzzled when she glanced at me but said nothing . It continued to bother me so i asked her " what was wrong "

"You'll understand soon enough " those were the words left by her .

And after a ton of walking we were before the general's mansion . On the streets you could see the carriages of different families arriving at the party .

And as always we were stopped by the guards . But they were nice to Joanne and stopped me as he thought i was her butler .

And as always i showed him my my my my ..... sssssssssssshhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiittttttttttt .

I had no invitation as i was just told that i was invited . Only Joanne was permitted and i was outside the gate . And i walked towards where i came from and from the distance i could see a red carriage with the crest of the sun gold plated.

The carriage stopped besides me and the door opened only to be greeted with the general dressed in red suit .

"Where you headed comrade " he asked me in a friendly manner . " Quarters " i replied with an emotionless face .

" Are you not attending the party " He sounded somewhat concerned after hearing my reply .

" Ask your guard " He became mildly furious which caused him to step out of his carriage and lectured the guard .

And again stepped inside his carriage . " Would you like to join us sir " . I entered the carriage " Just call me Jay " .

The carriage drove inside the mansion and we both stepped outside and as soon as we entered his mansion all i could see was red . Everyone dressed in red . The walls were white coloured which were shining .

At first i thought it was because the general entered the manor but inwas also partly the cause . I wore black in a red party . But i still didn't gave a damn .

General : Everyone present here i hope you will enjoy this evening .

And he was met with cheers from his peers and soon everybody . The general has kind of charisma that everyone likes .

And the party started . People chattering musicians playing music , dancing etc . Was the mood at the manor .

And i also tried to enjoy the party first by listening conversation and then trying to join them but to no avail .

So i just sat and ate and drank . But i couldn't get drunk due to a skill again .

Then suddenly a blond person with green eyes and good physique approached me . He also looked really beautiful.

" Hello there have we met somewhere before " .

" Well i think this is the first time we've met " . I replied in a good tone .

" The name's Chris . 'Chris Ashton ' " . He put his hands forward .

I shook his hands and introduced myself " I am Jay Garrick " .

Chris : I've never heard of your name anywhere in the nobility . Where are you from .

Jay : Somewhere far . And also i am not a noble .

The expression on Chris's face changed drastically . He was looking at me like i was some kind of trash . As expected it wasn't long where

Chris : And i thought you were some kind of bigshot that you were standing out . But you were just a pathetic commoner who didn't know anything .

On the other hand Joanne who was enjoying drinks with some people after seeing me she thought only one thing

" Why does he have to always take the spotlight in a wrong way " .

While Chris was disrespecting ne in front of everyone i was quietly sitting while giving him a unaffected and stern look .

And Chris was getting more and more infuriated towards me . But he was still spouting bullshit .

' Those who bark don't bite ' - Again a great person .

And then he started threatning me .

Chris : You don't know my father is a marquess of the Chronal kingdom and when i inherit the title i can crush you very easily .

Chris : Now is the time to ask for forgiveness for wasting my time . If you kowtow before me 9 times then i will forgive you for your insolence .

In the background people were whispering different things

" What is a commoner doing here "

" Why did Chris have to dirty his hands "

" Is he a waiter who is slacking off "

" Oh no dear Chris why did you do it . If you would have told me i would have done it for you "

And many more things .

I am taking this matter very jokingly because it is a very cliched thing in novels. So why not take it like a cool person

I consider myself a very patient man but patience also has it's limits . Just as i was bout to chop of his damn foot

General : Stop this right now .

Chris : I must show this commoner his damn place .

General : It's true that now he is just a commoner . But even before him you amount to nothing . If he wants not only the marquess but the whole Chronal kingdom will turn to dust .

He is the one who took the lead during the battle between us and skeleton warriors and at that time we were at a severe disadvantage and were about to lose he bought us victory .

Right now he should be worried about dirtying his hands . So know your place .
