Chapter 4 - First Day Banquet

To attend the evening of the banquet that day, Rose wore a purple dress that had a gradient between dark purple and light purple. Around the skirt of her dress, it was decorated with colorful gems that made her like a star that scattered in the night. While the top has a floral pattern that beautifies the party dress.

For the hairstyle, Hana combines curly hair with a braid that makes Rose's blonde mane have a princess style with a small diamond crown as a complement. Makes a sweet yet elegant impression radiate from around her body.

"Princess Rosalia Devonia Razak of the Fairy Race is here." an aide announced the arrival of a beautiful fairy who is familiarly called Rose.

The beautiful girl entered accompanied by Captain Jerome and her servant Hana. There were four other people following the princess. While the rest of the servants and guards who came with them remained in the residence that had been prepared for their race. Only people with high status or titles among their respective races were allowed to enter the banquet hall.

"Do you think the Fairy Race has been hiding out of shame with their decline in attractiveness?"

"Ha ha ha.."

"It seems so. Did you see how innocent the Princess looked just now. Even my maid is prettier than her."

"Of course the Princess can't be compared to our Viona." There was a loud whisper that was heard by Rose's group. Making their expressions unsightly.

Hearing the blatant sarcasm directed at her, the fairy princess paused. Rose staring at the group of girls huddled around a beautiful woman. The woman was wearing a burgundy dress. Her black hair was pulled up in a bun that accentuated her slender neck.

"Do you have anything to say to me?" Rose asked politely to a girl who seemed to be the vanguard behind the riot.

The girl didn't dare answer Rose's question. She immediately hid behind the back of the pretty girl in the red dress.

"My name is Viona Destraf Lumie, the 3rd daughter of the Vampire Race. Sorry, my sister is young. She didn't mean it like that. Please don't be offended." the girl who was the center of attention of the group of women smiled charmingly as she spoke to protect her sister.

Rose smiled coldly. The girl made it sound as if she was an unreasonable person arguing with a younger person.

"People who can participate in this banquet are people who have already passed their maturity ceremony. Miss should teach your 'immature' little sister to pay more attention to manners towards others. Don't let people think the Vampire Race can't educate their younger generation." Rose answered firmly. Didn't give the beautiful girl the slightest face.

The pretty expression of the vampire race lady cracked slightly as she faced the retort from the fairy race princess. The woman looked softle and easy to bully but had an eloquent tongue.

"Once again I apologize on behalf of my sister. As an apology, I will escort Miss Rose to where the representatives are." the girl in red offered.

"Sorry to trouble Miss Viona." Rose accepted the offer from the vampire girl. The other party had already apologized twice, she would be completely labeled as unreasonable if she continued to argue over the matter.

The two of them walked side by side through the bustling party hall. One was a polite, innocent beauty, while the other was a beauty in a charming red dress.

People can't help but compare the two. The result between them should be clear who is superior. But the gait and posture of the woman they labeled innocent gave off an air of elegance that couldn't be ignored. Making the charming beauty walking next to him look inferior in their eyes.

Viona must have noticed some people's dissatisfied expressions with her appearance. She gritted her teeth in anger. She wanted to suppress the ugly girl who walked beside her. Making her just a dim accessory that couldn't be compared to her beauty. She didn't expect that she would be defeated by a girl who clearly had a worse appearance than her.

"Thank you for the kindness of Miss Viona who has taken me." Rose smiled gratefully as the two arrived at the seats belonging to the representative of the fairy race.

"You're welcome. Once again I apologize for my young sister's actions." Viona looks sincere when expressing her regret. Made the few representatives who had arrived there give a second look to the pathetic looking beautiful girl.

"No problem. I don't mind any disrespectful words from Miss Viona's little sister." After saying those words, Rose immediately sat down in her chair. Do not want to continue the drama contest starring the girl in the red dress.

Viona, who wanted to take the opportunity to get to know the representatives of other races, had to swallow her anger again at the behavior of the girl from the fairy race. The representatives who were appointed to be the symbol of their kingdom certainly had high status.

Like the vampire race that appointed Crown Prince Gerald as its representative. It was possible that she could marry the crown prince or someone with a standing that stood out from other races with her appearance.

"Then excuse me." Although annoyed, Viona did not want to embarrass herself when dealing with representatives of other races.

"Please." Rose ushered the vampire race girl away with a smile. She was relieved to not have to deal with such a hypocrite again.

As soon as the six representatives had taken their seats, the first day's banquet was officially opened. Starting from the first seat occupied by the vampire race as the host introducing themselves, followed by the werewolf race and others until Rose introduced herself as a representative of the fairy race who occupies the 6th seat.

The hall actually had seven velvet chairs with gold for the backs that stood in a row. But more than 300 years ago the 7th seat was always empty.

After they all finished introducing themselves, the various performances prepared by the vampire race to entertain the guests began.

There is a group of dancers who display their beautiful curves. There is a singer whose voice can make other people fall in love. And there were also some people present who wanted to highlight their own abilities.

One of them was a beautiful girl from the vampire race who had just come into conflict with the fairy princess. The girl in the red dress played the harp in a very melodious and beautiful way. The girl's slender fingers plucked the strings in a very beautiful way. Her eyes were closed with her head tilted as if enjoying the notes that came out of her plucked musical instrument. Without reducing her posture that deliberately accentuates her long neck and charming body.

Prok..prok..prok..

There was a series of applause from the audience after Viona finished performing. She smiled beautifully and bowed to express her gratitude. Before going down, she whispered a few words to the host in charge of the show.

"Today is a very special day. This year's banquet, we managed to invite a representative from the Fairy Race who has not been around for a long time."

"And to conclude today's banquet, the Princess of the Fairy Race will present a show for all of us." said the presenter immediately made the audience excited. Wanted to look forward to the appearance of a race that had long since disappeared without news and was considered annihilated by most people.

Hearing that she had to appear, Rose still maintained her softle smile. Her posture did not experience the slightest shock when faced with unplanned events.

From the start, they didn't talk to her to prepare anything. Either it was a 'warm welcome' from the vampire race for her or just a way the red-dressed girl made her humiliate herself.

The fairy race has long been known as the angel who plays the harp. Their beautiful beauty, combined with beautiful musical instruments that were created as if only for them. Making their appearance indescribable in words. Only amazing words come to mind when one hears the fairy race playing the harp.

But that girl from the Vampire Race had just played the harp with her pretty face. Making herself look ugly when she had to hold the harp after the beauty had finished playing it. Rose really felt like she was expecting too much to finish the entire banquet smoothly.

The beautiful fairy stood in the middle of the hall. It was not the harp that she chose to play but a simple flute made of bamboo. Bringing the green flute to her lips, the fairy closed her eyes.

The first gust blows with a cool tone. It was as if they were enjoying the wind blowing among the lush trees. The longer the flute is blown, the more pleasant the melody will be. Giving them the illusion that their bodies and souls have increased in strength.

Not only do they feel it, but the plants and animals around them suddenly emit positive energy that makes them feel very comfortable.

"Amazing. Did we just taste the magic of the Fairy Race?" a representative of the Dwarf Race spoke after he realized that the flute was over.

"It's not a miracle. We call it an innate ability." Rose explained softly.

As if the crowd had just realized what had happened, thunderous applause resounded through the banquet hall.

"Do you feel it."

"I feel that my soul somehow feels treated."

"Me too. My body feels lighter than before."

Such whispers could be heard in every corner of the room. Making some people stare enviously at the fairy princess. The first day's banquet finally ended with a stunning performance from the Fairy Race.
