Stella allowed herself to be placed in the back of Mou's car. Terel then drove them to their location.
The car journey was silent but not awkward, Mou didn't talk often anyway and Stella was just looking out of the window.
Stella and Mou arrived at a hot spot in the city. She looked outside to not see many people out drunk. "There aren't a lot of people out at this time. Weird." She commented with a smile.
Mou didn't reply but just got out of the car instead, Stella followed him to a rather quiet bar squashed in between two larger competitors.
Stella noticed the name 'Golden bar' she instantly thought that the owner must be narcissistic to name the bar that. She walked down the stairs into a totally different world.
The golden bar was the best of the best. Bodyguards stood at the bottom of the stairs the deadpan expressions. They even asked Mou for ID! He provided two different ID's and the bodyguards looked over to Stella.
The bodyguards lightly nodded at Mou and Stella continued on.
The floor was full of men and women dancing and drinking. Even Stella could recognize a large amount of high society in the bar. Now she understood the ID process. Only the richest could get in!
Mou kept walking until a staircase, they walked up to it and reached the VIP section. Mou ignored it and went past into a private room.
Mou knocked and a small voice came from inside. "Yes." The voice couldn't be discerned from behind the door.
Mou opened the door and walked in, a group of 4 were already sitting around a glass table. They all noticed the arrival of the Blank Sheet and paid no attention.
"Pft." Then one person spat their drink out of their mouth. Stella walked in with a lopsided smile and a lax attitude.
"Oi Mou! Since when did you invite people to join us?" One slightly annoyed young master asked out loud.
Mou just sat down and didn't pay any attention to the man.
"Oh? Does young master need some conformation? My name's Stella, it's nice to meet you all." Stella said with an extravagant bow. Her smile on full display.
All of the young master's felt their hearts beat quicker. 'Who the hell was this man? Why was he so ridiculously good looking? Is it true that Mou is gay?' Were all the questions in their minds.
One certain young master shivered at the sight of Stella. "B-Bro, why did you invite h-him?" Cerim stuttered as he looked at Stella with evident fright on his face.
Mou shrugged his shoulders and looked at an empty space. 'Sit down' Was the silent message portrayed.
Stella lightly chuckled. "So, am I going to get introductions? Your master has just told me to sit down without knowing your names." Stella said as she lazed her hands in her pockets.
Once the young master stood up abruptly, he had a good looking face but was challenged with clothes that didn't match him. He was wearing a pure white suit with mismatching jewelry! It irked everyone looking at him...
"Nice to meet you Stella. My name is Nio Pold. It's nice to see that master Mou has invited someone." Nio said with a slight smile.
Stella instantly felt Nio's pressure, it would be strange if someone had randomly turned up... So his eyes weren't exactly friendly to her.
"Oh? Young master Nio? The same Pold family that has 5 older sisters which reportedly are stronger than him." Stella said with a slight smile.
But that smile made Nio shiver, he instantly recognized Stella knew her stuff. "Indeed." He said with a cracked smile. His sisters were definitely more known than him...
Stella sat down and was introduced. At this meeting, there were Mou, Cerim and Nio.
The other two people were Chris Diye, the second youngest master of the second most powerful family in the country! The Diye family was a recent arrival with power. They established themselves in a war with his grandfather and they managed to establish powerful political positions. They effectively made decisions for the country.
Chris was a calm character, he measured up Stella multiple times and silently communicated with Mou through his eyes. He was known to be quite the flirt when he wanted to be.
Then another was Eun Vuave, the youngest in a relatively weak middle-tier family. However, the man was known to be a genius in his school and made it to the best school in the country. He was recognized by Mou there and is apparently an extremely loyal person to his friends.
Eun put on a facade of being a little brash, mainly to fool people. He was extremely smart and took in Stella with open arms. Since Mou took her to their meeting, Stella should be trustworthy...
"You said your name was Stella? Isn't that a weird name for a male?" Nio asked.
Stella shrugged. "I suppose." She replied, of course Nio could never guess she wasn't actually a male! But he didn't need to know that.
Eun rubbed his chin with thought. "What's your family name? I'm very sure I've never seen you before." Eun asked, he had an extensive information network yet this man didn't seem to be someone he knows...
Stella smiled as leaned back, taking a glass of wine with her along the way. "I believe you've all heard of the Fude family before?" She asked.
The room's atmosphere then turned heavy. Yet Stella seemed to not notice. "I'm basically disowned from the family." She said without any car on her face at all as she made the wine spin in her glass.
The room gained a more natural feeling to it. "I've never heard of another young master of the Fude's. I only know of that Yuon." Chris mumbled under his breath.
"Ah, that's quite simple actually." Stella said as she downed her wine.
They looked at her in suspense. "I'm labeled as the bastard child in the Fude household. They all keep tight lips, even if you speak in the neighborhood nothing will be said. All people know is that I'm the child walking up to Ghoria academy every day in servant clothing." Stella said without much care in her voice.
Nio showed his surprise on his face, Chris openly showed disgust on his face. While Eun had no particular reaction.
Chris slammed his glass on the table. "That family is all dirt. Truly bottom of the barrel." He had heard rumors of the servant going to Ghoria academy, he never knew this apostle of a man was him!
Cerim looked at Mou, while they now could find a way to get Stella's information, she wasn't revealing anything too important yet.
"Don't worry young master Cerim and master Mou, you will be getting your answers first. However, first, isn't this room only filled with men? What's up with that?" Stella said as her eyes rippled.
Nio seemed to be a little shocked as he looked over to Cerim, it seems they were caught silently communicating... It also seems that they weren't really friends but had the same enemies... "That's fine young master Stella." He said with a smile as he hit a button next to his seat.
