"Is your boyfriend?"
"There's no way he's her boyfriend!"
Before Libe had a chance to speak, Ludwing interrupted, inviting is one thing, but having an intimate relationship is another, Ludwing refused to believe that her older sister is so good.
"Huh? Is that true Libe?"
Libe looked at her younger brother, this little devil did it again, always sticking his nose where he is not called, she already had everything planned, she was going to lie about their relationship to avoid misunderstandings and other women to try her cake, but that already you can't, so she had no choice and answered her mother's question honestly...
"He's my friend Indara Lujan's stepbrother, I invited him and his family..."
"Lujan? Indara Lujan, daughter of Lieutenant Colonel Nataly Luján?"
"Yes, it's her, mother..."
"This is quite a surprise, I didn't know that Lieutenant Colonel Nataly had gotten married again..."
Lucia was curious, Nataly's position is quite high in the military, even though she didn't have a powerful family backing, she was still able to reach such heights trusting in herself and her achievements, therefore she was quite popular among the military and such. the woman was married without her knowledge was surprising, there was no party and even any mention among the upper echelons...
"What is her husband's name?"
"Elias Luján..."
"Elias?"
Lucia frowned, looked at Elias, and had a rough idea of who he was...
"My lady, Lieutenant Nataly's current husband is called Elias Lujan, formerly Elias de Henestrosa, besides he is the current Vice President of Deus Ex Machina..."
Frida the housekeeper whispered, during this short period she sent someone to check the guest list so Elias's identity was exposed...
"...!?"
Lucia felt that the more she found out about this family, the more scandalous it was.
Nataly's identity is pretty good, so even the higher-ups had to think twice if they decide to attack her politically, but Elias' identity was even better.
Although Deus ex Machina is a company in the development and has only been on the market for a few years, no one dared to underestimate it.
Ranking as high as the Vice President, Elias is a very big shot at this party...
"Libe are you sure you invited him?"
"Yes, I am..."
Libe's voice got smaller as her mind went into chaos, not in her wildest dreams did she think that Elias would have such a fantastic identity, this was out of the norm, but come to think of it, Arthur is a high-caliber MC. , his identity had to be pretty good...
"hmm"
Lucia narrowed her eyes, not that she didn't believe her daughter, but having connections to the Vice President of Deus Ex Machina is not something a prodigal daughter like her could do...
"Putting that aside, Libe answers honestly... Is he or isn't he your boyfriend?"
Lynne's question was direct, now that she knew Arthur's identity she was even more interested, his impulse and aura almost drowned Libe...
"Nope..."
"Are you his friend? Do you get along with him? How long have you known him?"
"A little, we just met a few days ago."
"Good..."
This was enough for Lynne, for her, Arthur had a plate that said 'Available', so there was no doubt, that Libe still had to grow up and she will very soon have to bring a fiancé home, even with her expressionless face she looked to his mother, hoping that she will help him...
"Do what you want..."
Lucia waved her hand, if Arthur's identity was average from some unimportant company, maybe Lucia wouldn't turn a blind eye to her eldest daughter and let Libe try it first, after all, she 'invited him' and if all goes well, she would give Libe her dowry for the Marriage.
First come first serve, but Arthur's identity is complicated, the Astariet Familia couldn't use his identity to pressure Deus Ex Machina at will after all Deus Ex Machina operates overseas if relations in this city fail and both break off the negotiations, at most Deus Ex Machina, will suffer a little, however, the Astariet Family would suffer more, the technology of Deus Ex Machina is valuable and not having it would leave the Astariet family behind compared to other families, for Therefore they couldn't put pressure on this newcomer, as they needed him.
And since her two daughters were interested in Arthur, she would turn a blind eye, and may the best one win...
"Mother, you can't!"
"Thank you, mother..."
Libe protested while Lynne thanked her.
Libe panicked, this shouldn't be like this, her sister wasn't supposed to get in the way of her relationship, she had already made it clear that she was the one who brought Arthur to this party, but her sister insisted ...
Unfortunately, Elias used the identity of Deus Ex Machina at this party and not Libe's invitation, so in theory, it was the Astariet family who invited Deus Ex Machina and Lynne was in charge of the invitations...
Lynne wasted no time, she snapped her fingers and Frida the housekeeper understood, the musicians prepared for the dance began to play and likewise the dance floor rose from the ground, Lynne was going to skip all the formalities and get to the essential point of this party.
Everyone had different objectives in these high society parties, for the leaders it was to create new connections and strengthen friendly ties, for the daughters of such people there is only one benefit in this party...
'It's finding a courtship partner!'
These prodigal daughters may come accompanied by their partners, but it is not uncommon for them to be robbed, besides there were also many single men and women at these parties, Arthur was a perfect example and just like him, there were many more men at this party, on such occasions romantic ties flourish...
(This is bad, this is bad, this is bad!)
Libe clenched her fist, her sister was stealing her cake and anticipating her plans, Libe knew her older sister very well, when Lynne is interested in something she gets it at all costs, she is direct and won't beat around the bush, in family businesses so far such a personality without leaving anything behind has worked for her, that's why she is the current heiress.
But this is not what Libe feared the most, it was that her sister is a villain...
[Name: Lynne Astariet
Human race
17 years old
Alias: Heiress Astariet, Emotionless Monster
Level: Tempered Body, rank 10
Luck Points: 30,000 (Going up)
Status: Villain, Intermediate]
Lynne's luck was rising since she chose Arthur as her target, her luck was already ridiculous now it's bigger, but even so, Lynne's luck was not enough to face a big boss like Arthur, her sister was destined to fail...
Libe knew that her house is a nest of villains and that everyone except Ludwig, was all villains and that the highest in luck were her older sister and her mother.
"Mother please, you must stop this... What about our family rule?"
When it came to men, to avoid family conflict, the Astariet had a rule, first come, first served.
Due to this rule, Libe naively thought that her sister would not intervene in her conquest, but she was wrong...
"You know your older sister's character well, and it's also the first time I've seen her so excited..."
Lynne is as cold as ice, Lucia knew that it would be difficult for her daughter to find her ideal partner, after all, no one entered her eyes and honestly, Lucia had almost given up the idea of having grandchildren with Lynne, that's why she told her ordered that she should bring a fiancé home when he turns 18...
Who would have thought that she would find a man that she likes now?
Furthermore, even though she was still expressionless, Lucia could see the light in her eyes, her eldest daughter was excited, therefore she was not going to let this opportunity slip away...
"Even so, I invited him! I must be the one to try it first!"
Libe continued with her protest, this is her night, her cake, she didn't want to see others eat it.
"Hee ~ big sister Libe shouldn't be protesting, as far as I remember she still has some suitors waiting for her"
Unfortunately, before Lucia had a chance to speak, Ludwing smiled next to her and commented, these words sent shivers down Libe's spine...
"Pretenders huh?...."
"That's right dear mother~, three handsome men are waiting for her."
"Oh! Not bad..."
Lucia smiled, but because of Ludwing, she had already made up her mind…
"Let your big sister try...."
"...!!!"
Libe clenched her teeth, as she wished to strangle Ludwing, she didn't invite anyone apart from Arthur, it's all Ludwing's fault and his pranks...
(You will regret it!)
Sealing Ludwing's fate in her heart, Libe turned around in anger, since the situation had reached these extremes, she had to apply plan B.
(Hehe~ sister Libe, I won't let anyone have you...)
What Libe did not know, however, is that Ludwing also had her own goals and that it was for this goal that Ludwing invited Yholan and the other two MCs.
Just at that moment that Libe turned around, Ludwing also separated from his mother and walked towards Arthur, since his older sister loves this handsome boy, Ludwing would help her, he would do it to keep Arthur away from Libe, Of all the men in this party, Arthur is the only one who makes him feel threatened and also inferior, his aura is superior to his, his identity is no joke.
He was not going to let this boy (fox) seduce Libe, she belonged to him and no one else.
As far as Yholan and the other two MCs? Ludwig doesn't care, those three inferior men who only had their looks and pretty face are not worth it...
Likewise, Libe did not realize that Ludwing's status changed to MC and his luck began to rise, so many changes that were unconsciously caused by Arthur...
