Birthday Banquet 3

The kid called Luke moved forward with his present in front, his face showed a kind smile of his age, he presented his present and drop it to the maid who takes care of the presents before going to meet Derrick.

He greeted Derrick with a smile as if they were old friends that have known each other for long.

"Do you know this brat? he seemed friendly towards you" Zazel asked as if he was bored of this banquet already, he had been looking for a beautiful young lass for Derrick but was disappointed on the outcome, they were good looking young ladies but not up to per for him.

'I have no idea who this kid is, I have no friends to even begin with' Derrick replied Zazel while also smiling at the strange kid, the rest kids that were giving out presents created a polite atmosphere but not a friendly one like this kid was doing.

Luke drew closer to Derrick, which was not expected and whispered into Derrick's ears "Be careful country bumpkin, I have my eyes on you, we might meet in the future and I believe I will stump you under my foot and lastly you are not worthy of the Ice Princess" After Luke whispered that into Derrick's ear, he returned back to his smiling self before apparently leaving for the next person.

'What the fuck, next time I catch you, I will make sure I whoop your fucking ass, who is this fucking kid, did he just threaten me?' Derrick couldn't confront Luke neither does he have any motive to do so, he was only confused about some one warning him, some one he doesn't even know.

"Hey Derrick are you alright?" it was Rosetta handing out a gift and saw Derrick a bit space out.

"Oh Rosetta am fine, just an annoying fly that buzz by, will you be staying over?" Derrick ask trying to change the topic.

"No my father won't let me, we would be leaving right after the banquet, are you perhaps missing me already" Rosetta asked curtly, her eyes were scrutinizing Derrick.

"Ahh no am just bored" Derrick replied absentmindedly, which made Rosetta give him a death stare.

"Hey kid, are you even learning from me? you are getting worse by the day" Zazel asked with a tired voice, 'Will this kid be able to create an harem? long live harems' Zazel thought, he was all for the harem.

"Rosetta you are looking scary" Derrick said before remembering they were taking up the line and whispers have already been floating around.

"Oh I heard they were engaged"

"It seems the couple doesn't want to let go of one another"

"Is he even worthy of her? he seems like just a pretty face"

"The ice princess and the god of war, seems fitting don't you think"

"I think my son is more fitting for the Earl family"

"My daughter is interested in the boy, if the engagement is going to be cancelled, they should quickly end the farce"

"Wow they look good together"

Derrick heard most of the whispers and only sighed, before whispering to Rosetta in her ears "you are taking up the line"

Rosetta immediately blushed before immediately stepping out of the line for the next person, with this the whispers grew louder.

"How cute"

"How sweet, he is whispering sweet nothing to her"

"How enviable, they both look good together"

'Ahhh I really hate interacting with people' Derrick thought, a loud noise was heard from behind

"""Bang"""

""Enough""

"We didn't come here for this, show us your abilities, your different elements" a grumpy voice said.
