Chapter 18: Valhoran family

"The Valhoran family, that's what I call a surprise," Langris said slightly surprised by their presence.

"I think it is better if Young lord heads back to the estate for the dinner, this time, it will be held in the ceremony building in respect for the Valhoran family," Tobi replied.

"Alright, I better head back now to get ready," Langris said as he headed back to the estate.

The Valhoran family was one of the strongest families of them all, and their family representative was a legendary ranked Hallow Practitioner. The Wranven family, although they are part of the 4 Mains, have decreased in power, but they remain one of the strongest families.

The first thing Langris did before getting to the Ceremony building was head to the Central house and wash first.

"The Valhoran family..." Langris whispered with a towel around his waist, looking for a respectable cloth.

"I've never had a chance to interact with any of the other 4 Maines, so this will be the first experience for me,"

He put on a long white coat, and black boots before leaving his chamber and heading for the Ceremony building.

While walking through the hallway, he met with Rolem, who he as well, was going to the Ceremony building.

"Have you ever seen any of the Valhoran family members?" Langris asked with his hands crossed walking slowly in the hallway.

"No I haven't but I heard that the family representative's daughter, Alea Valhoran is the most beautiful and powerful of her age tin the kingdom," Rolem replied.

He was dressed in a red long coat made of leather, and a ponytail.

"Powerful and beautiful at the same time..." Langris said looking up at the ceiling and imagining what she would look like, "I thought only a demon queen could have those things,"

When they reached outside and looked at the Ceremony building, it was full of light, and near the building were large white carriages with majestic white horses.

"They must already be in the building," Langris said while looking at the carriage, "let's get going,"

In front of the door entrance of the building were two family guards holding long spears in their hands. When they saw the two young lords, they bowed and moved sideways opening the door at the same time.

At the moment they entered the building, about 10 meters away was a long rectangle-shaped table, with the Wranven and the Valhoran family seated.

Amongst the Valhoran people, they saw a man that was in his 40s with a long brown beard, and long hair which reached his elbows.

On that man's right was a beautiful middle-aged lady with magnificent golden long hair and blue eyes.

On the other side of the man was a young man with brown short hair and brown eyes who seemed to be a bit older than Langris.

They looked noble, and we could identify them as the wealthiest, however, what caught Rolem and Langris's attention were the two young women seated beside each other next to the middle-aged beautiful woman.

One of the young ladies had golden hair that looked even more majestic than the middle-aged woman and another with long brown hair. It was hard to see their body shape because they were seated, however, it was clear to see that they had well-developed chests even if they seemed to be around Langris and Rolem's age.

The young lady with golden hair and blue eyes was wearing a green gown which gave her an even more splendid look.

When the door opened and the two boys entered the room, the two young ladies looked at them, causing their faces to redden slightly and look away.

"Oh... finally, they have arrived, please, come and join us!" Elmon said gesturing for them to approach the table when he saw them.

There was one free seat next to Finnea and Morlith and in front of the golden-haired young lady, and another at the other end of the table facing Dreyfus was already seated on one end of the table.

Rolem decided to take the seat facing his father, and Langris took the last seat left.

"Are those the two boys that passed the exam Elmon?" The long brown-haired man asked.

Elmon nodded in agreement, "the boy passed the exams going quite above the average score, I'm very happy that the two of my grandchildren have managed to pass the exam... oh, but Luvon, the three children of yours have passed the exams in another prestigious school am I wrong?"

"Yes, they have!" He said with a big smile patting his son's head, "each of them passed with a score of 200 or higher, and Varitan here passed with a perfect score!!!"

Langris's eyes widened when he heard that they had all passed with nearly perfect scores.

'It was already that hard for me to pass the exam and I didn't even get a genius score, but the whole Valhoran family passed with a perfect score... That's one of the strongest families for you...' Langris thought.

When Luvon was done speaking and released Varitan, the latter didn't even seem affected by the praises of his father. It was as if it was normal for him to pass with a perfect score.

"Congratulations Luvon, you've got a family of prodigies!" Elmon then shouted.

"It seems your family lives up to its reputation," Dreyfus said calmly slightly smiling at Luvon, "even the women in your family have devastating power,"

"Yes indeed," Luvon shouted still smiling, "oh, by the way, Finnea, how is Alucard, it's been a long time since I've seen him, he has completely disappeared in the past years?"

"I haven't heard of him in long as well..." Finnea said forcing her smile, "I assume he is on a long quest this time, we cannot blame him given the status he has,"

"That's right!" Luvon replied, "so tell me, is that Alucard's offspring?"

Langris and Luvon then suddenly made eye contact which made Langris feel a bit awkward for a moment.

"Yes, his name is Langris Wranven, he is about the same age as Alea..."

"It's easy to recognize that when you see they both have the same hair color and eyes!" Luvon then started laughing his mouth wide open.

'This man is like a barbarian,' Langris thought nervously smiling when he saw Luvon laughing.

Morlith, who was seated beside Langris kicked the latter's leg and gave him a note on a small paper.

"Did you see how beautiful Alea is?" Morlith's note was saying.

Langris then looked for a small note in order to right back to Morlith.

"Which one of them is Alea?"

"The one right in front of you with golden hair," Morlith replied.

"She sure is hot if I could get a chance..."

"Sorry dude, but she is completely out of your and Rolem's league, just let the pros do what they have to do (by pros, he means him)"

Langris slightly giggled while looking down and reading the note, before he heard someone call his name.

"Langris seems to be quite the handsome young man Finnea..." The one speaking was Elora Valhoran, Luvon's wife.
