Chapter 11: I screamed internally

Hunter's pov

'Well I think I discovered the main reason why I didn't see people in the estate using any of the skills.It seems this guy had a Inferiority complex over having no blessings and a weak body. But still it doesn't justify his reasons for being an ahole.'

We are still holding our hands.I don't know when to release. It looks like she is also stunned by me giving no reactions to that jackass.

"ATTENTION EVERYONE! Now will be entering, The Empress of the Kingdom EMPRESS DATELINE ARMA ISOLORA OF ROADYMA" A guard shouted causing the whole hall to be quiet.

Empress has an elegant Red dress, the same as the flag of the Kingdom, Crimson hairs and Turquoise eyes. Even though she is supposed to be older than the duchess, she looks like someone in her mid thirties.

"All hail to Empress"

'Well I didn't expect the empress to be here herself and she is not alone as she is accompanied by my sister DIANA LILY HELSTEIN. This solidifies the Empress favorability of Diana to be the Crown princess to everyone in the kingdom.'

Diana, the same as Mother, has silver hair and Goldeneyes, the same as father. If you are seeing both of them for the first time, you would have mistaken them as sisters.

"NOW, THE HOST OF THE BALL WILL ENTER, THE DUKE OF THE SOUTH, DUKE JOHANSSON OLIVER HELSTEIN AND DUCHESS VIOLET LILIANA HELSTEIN and are accompanied by 1st QUEEN'S BATTALION VICE COMMANDER JACOB OLIVER HELSTEIN".

' Even though he was only 4 years older than me, he looks more like a man in his mid twenties. His face was clean, and was most similar to father in terms of his face. Even Duke looks proud of him.'

'Well he is has to be, being a part of royal army and at that being in 1st QUEEN'S BATTALION VICE COMMANDER, says something about it'

' The royal army has total of Five battalions, EMPEROR'S BATTALION, EMPRESS'S BATTALIONS, 1ST QUEEN'S BATTALION, 2ND QUEEN BATTALION AND last but the strongest ROYAL FAMILY BATTALION.'

' Well, he is still 19 years old and has a long way ahead of him. It won't be long if he becomes the next Commander in just a few years.'

As Hunter was looking his family that are standing in the second floor, he realized something,

' Well one thing is for sure, I'm not welcomed in that family, well it was always the case. Wasn't it Hunter? You always felt this way. Right? Well who will blame him. Her mother whom he loved from his childhood turns out to be a step mother and you were always a bastard child'

Suddenly the memory of young Hunter flashes on the screen where He could see her Mother or Duchess yelling at the Duke.

"~Sigh..."

" Ah… I'm really sorry. I didn't realized I was being disrespectful to you"

Aria suddenly spoke quietly as she released my hand.

"It was fi…." as I was about to reply

Suddenly the music started to play and the Duke and Duchess started to come down off the stairs, to take their position at the center of the hall, right under the huge Chandelier, and started to perform "Viennese waltz".

W/N:- Viennese waltz originated in Provence area in France in 1559 and is recognized as the oldest of all ballroom dances.

After the performance they left the hall and climbed up the stairs and stood in the middle of Stairs and faced their direction towards the crowd.Duchess spoke.

"We thank every guest that joins this year's ball. I won't take any more of your time. Even though it's a Traditional annual Family ball party we have one more announcement to make. "

'What is she talking about?' I wondered.

"Hunter Lawson Helstein"

'Duchess signals me to come up on the Stairs'

" As you all Know of News of Hunter's Engagement, we still have to have an engagement party, so I thought why not have it right now. So not only This will be an Annual Family ball party but also Hunter's Lawson Helstein engagement party as well."

'Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?"

I screamed internally.
