The Astariet Family is one of the great families that control the Jumans country, one of the seven countries that exist in this Prague supercontinent.
Originally the Astariet family is noble, before Democracy became popular in this country, after all, although this country is a democratic country, in reality, this is a facade and the big families are the ones who control everything behind the scenes.
It was quite natural, as humans are greedy and nobles would not let go of the authority they possess, so even though there is no King or Aristocracy, they were still the bosses.
It is for this reason that the Astariet Family is the lord of this Lingi city, but democracy also affected them a bit, since the firstborn is no longer the only one who can inherit the family fortune, now all the children had rights, that includes course men...
Therefore they competed with each other during their childhood and adolescence, currently, there is still competition between the Astariet family, however during childhood, the First Daughter was the winner since Libe the second daughter was not qualified, and honestly, Libe did not want to control a family either. so big, he had no great ambitions and was content to harass men.
The current head of the family had three children and since Libe was not qualified, she left the third son who is a man to compete for the position, however, he resigned due to the overwhelming difference between his older sister, which resulted in the first daughter is the current heiress, therefore her prestige was something to take into account.
And when the heiress made it public that the current head of the family had a birthday, the city came into force...
Since the participation of influential politicians was expected, also from the other great Families.
Therefore the number of people entering the city will be quite high, for such parties, they are usually huge...
Of course not on the scale of Arthur and Cristie's birthday, but it was still a great event...
And when the day came, the city became hectic...
"Haa..."
Libe was pining for this, since belonging to high society is quite stressful, yet her plans for this
the night wouldn't change, so she leaned on her desk...
(Sister...)
During these days, Indara stopped talking to her she was still annoyed by this invitation, and maybe because they are both villains, they didn't get into an unreasonable conflict like the FMC, but this is not something that Libe could control, since Arthur has immense luck, Libe was sure that one way or another, this pretty boy would attend the party.
It was simply impossible for such an important MC to miss this event.
Of course, she was right, since that same day of the invitation, in the morning Arthur had received a letter of invitation from the party.
Deus Ex Machina has great prestige and it is impossible to ignore them, therefore it was obvious why, it is because of this reason why Arthur agreed with Libe and also why Elias found it inevitable, since Deus Ex Machina had to give him a bit of 'Prestige' to this family if they wanted to continue operating in this city, so sending a representative was inevitable.
One way or another, they would attend...
Of course, this is not something that Indara knew, and thus her coldness towards Libe...
"They are fighting?"
Suddenly someone approached Libe, she raised her head and a handsome boy appeared...
[Name: Yholan Tzwie
Human race
Age: 15 years
Aliases: Prince
Level: Elemental, rank 9
Luck Points: 2,500
Status: MC, Beginner
Affection Level: 60
Emotional State: Curious]
This guy was an MC, to be precise a lamb of luck points for Libe, after all unlike the FMC who are enemies that even if they do nothing they will target Libe and conflict.
MCs are passive, they may be the reason for the conflict but they are not necessarily the ones doing it.
An example of this is when an MC is engaged to a villain and the FMC tries to prevent the marriage, essentially they are the reason for the conflict, but they are not the ones carrying it out, for this reason, Libe leaves them alone and falls in love to reap points, they are sheep of wool, not to mention that they are handsome and Libe can flirt with them...
As for the FMC, Libe will have no mercy and eliminates them before they can grow...
"It's nothing, just a little conflict of interest..."
It's not like Libe could tell her that they're fighting over a man, that would kill the road she's been building with this MC.
"Is that so? He should talk to her and reconcile soon..."
Yholan said it out of sheer kindness since he doesn't like Indara at all, he is nicknamed the prince of this school due to his superior appearance, and high grades, and also because his family promised him that they will get him his Wunder Pilot license soon.
All the women in the academy treated him kindly, except for Indara of course, this rude girl doesn't even respect him, but this was normal, Indara's luck value was higher and thus she was unaffected.
So Yholan doesn't have a good impression of her, so for him, it's better if Libe and Indara continue fighting, an effort is made to greet and talk to Indara, please Libe, it would be a relief if that ends.
"Thank you, I'll take your advice..."
"Hm! You must do it, it's not good to fight with your friend..."
Libe smiled at her, this lucky point lamb was about to fall in love with her, whatever would explode into good luck points, Libe was waiting for the moment to take the next step...
"Oh! My family got an invitation to the party tonight... Hehe, thanks Libe I'll wait for you tonight..."
Suddenly, Yholan remembered an important matter that her mother had told her, Libe's mother's party is a big event so the chances of a small family like hers being invited are very slim, but they still made it. , Yholan remembers that his mother almost jumped for joy at this, that party is an opportunity to make connections with high society and expand his family's company...
Yolanda even thought that Libe was the one who sent the invitation, for which he was grateful.
"Huh? Huh?...Of course..."
Libe screamed inside, this wasn't right, a small family-like Yholan's family was supposed to have no chance of an invitation...
Little did Libe know that his terror was about to begin, as two other boys approached him hours later saying the same thing as Yholan...
(Ahhh!!)
Libe couldn't believe it, she already had the perfect plan, to take an important step in Arthur's heart, using this party as an excuse to invite him to dance and be more and more intimate, although Indara was there, Libe trusted that she could handle it.
But if the party is attended by the other MCs, his love interests, then everything will go to hell.
Maybe Yholan and the other two MCs don't have a problem, her affection levels are high enough that they don't hate her, but Arthur is different...
Her affection indicator is '0', there will surely be problems and her Route to conquer him may be lost and that was the least she expected, Arthur is a great boss.
(Ugh!! Who's giving me trouble?!)
Libe had a headache that if Indara knew, she would surely smile...
As for the cause of this, it was a 13-year-old boy, Ludwing Astariet, Libe's little brother, like an imp who likes to play pranks, the moment he found out that his older sister had several boyfriends, he made sure to invite them, Everyone, I was hoping to see a good show tonight...
After all, there's nothing this little guy wouldn't dare to do...
------------
Of course, none of this affected the Lujan family, the moment Indara returned from the academy, Arthur caught her...
"Tonight will be a little different and my Little Sister can't come to the party unprepared..."
Her hair fell to the ground and the sound of scissors was quite soft, previously Arthur had promised to cut her hair, now it was a good opportunity...
"..."
Indara didn't say anything but she watched as her delinquent image gradually faded and her good looks were highlighted...
"Liam do you want to go?"
Suddenly Indara spoke making Arthur stop, Indara didn't want to go to that party, there will be too many refined people and Indara is not good at dealing with them.
Also, the most important point is that Indara lacked etiquette and good manners, she was trained by the army and she only knew how to fight, so she was very nervous.
But besides that, Indara was scared, scared that Arthur might be with other women at that party, there will be too many rich girls and you never know what tricks these women have up their sleeves, Indara didn't want to see him in love with other people...
"It will be fun, don't worry as long as you're with me, you'll be fine... Trust my little sister..."
Holding her shoulders and whispering in her ear, Arthur saw through her in an instant.
"...!!"
Indara almost jumped at this, Arthur's breath in her ear making her nervous, not to mention the soft touch of hers on her shoulders, as if he was seducing her.
(Liam you are a Fox, an Incubus!! Please don't do this!)
Although in her mind she wanted to push him away, her body was honest and petrified thus allowing Arthur to continue touching her, although this was quick since Arthur continued with the hair, she had already achieved her goal, to reassure this girl. ..
Still, tonight is sure to be a hectic one...
