Chapter 70 - Chapter 70:The Party of The Clubs

Looking around, Adryan could see that even though there were a good number of people, the large hall still had plenty of space for one to move about.

There were long tables on the sides in which there were all kinds of food from sweet to salty.

Waiters walked around the room with trays in hand in which there were glasses of what appeared to be wine.

Adryan was not a professional or wine expert by far, but thanks to his nose he could smell the sweetness of this wine.

Continuing to observe, he managed to see several groups of people were together and he could assume that these were some members of the clubs who still did not gain enough confidence to approach the others.

There were also numerous people loose in the room, and Adryan managed to recognize one of them.

So, approaching with a calm step, he came up to a familiar older man who wears a monocle over his left eye.

"Good afternoon Mr. Grievius, it seems that you are already well involved in the party"

Grievius simply smiled at him as he placed his plate that was full of food on the table as well as his glass of sweet-smelling wine.

"Brat, it was about time you arrived"

Saying that, he extended his hand and Adryan squeezed it hard with a smile.

"You know what they say, old man, the best things always takes time"

The man stopped drinking and raised a trembling eyebrow at Adryan's words.

"That was said by the Emperor Roselle, are you a fan?"

'I should have known', Adryan thought with a plain face as he ignored Grievius's question and looked around again.

Seeing that he had been ignored, Grievius blew out a harsh sigh as he returned to grabbing his plate and glass, then moved to Adryan's side.

"Mr. Grievius, you wouldn't know where..."

"If you're wondering where the three idiots are, they're with the famous collector over there" Grievius interrupted as he pointed towards the center with his hand holding the glass.

Ignoring that Grievius had interrupted him, Adryan followed where the man was pointing and managed to see Isaac, Charles and Viktor were talking to several people.

Looking at his familiar friends, Adryan saw that Isaac was next to a black-haired woman and Charles was next to a blonde woman who had a stomach with clear signs of pregnancy.

"They are the wives of Isaac and Charles?" he said as he turned to see Grievius who had just finished drinking his glass of wine.

"That's obvious" was Grievius's short answer as he placed the empty glass on the table and now with his free hand he grabbed a small sandwich from his plate to start eating.

'You look like my uncle in my cousin's fifteenth birthday' the redhead couldn't help but compare Grievius's attitude with his uncle from his previous life.

Inwardly approving of Grievius continuing to eat, he returned his attention to where Isaac and the rest were.

They seemed to be talking to a man around 23 years old with blue eyes and brown hair who was wearing a fine and elegant suit along with a medium height hat who spoke to the rest with a courteous smile.

'So that's Dutch...'thought the redhead as he looked at this curious celebrity.

The famous Dutch was standing next to a somewhat skinny young man.

He had ash yellow hair along with somewhat thin eyebrows and a rather delicate face.

'He seems gay...' was what Adryan thought as he looked at the man standing next to Dutch who seemed to treat him like a good friend.

Grievius, seeing how Adryan stared at Dutch, raised an eyebrow and followed his gaze to know what he was looking at.

Looking at the same young man as Adryan, Grievius nearly choked on the sandwich he was eating but managed to swallow but still let out a small cough.

This cough caught the attention of Adryan who turned to look at Grievius with a raised eyebrow.

At Adryan's gaze, Grievius simply adjusted his posture and placed his plate of food on the table as if nothing had happened.

"What was..."

"You didn't see anything brat and you should avoid staring that much at that guy" Grievius interrupted again as he took another glass of wine from a passing waiter's tray and then drink some.

Adryan wasn't too upset with what Grievius said, rather that last thing he had said had surprised him a bit.

"Why, who is he?"

At the redhead's question, Grievius looked at him as if he was mentally retarded.

An eyebrow twitched on Adryan's face at this and before he could insult Grievius into stopping it he replied.

"Brat you need to read and get out more, seriously it's surprising you don't know the recently promoted Viscount Glaint, are you perhaps an antisocial?"

At Grievius's response, any insult that was so close to coming out of Adryan's lips died faster than water in the desert.

Adryan gasped slightly at this information and could barely help but look at Viscount Glaint.

Recovering himself, he immediately asked Grievius so he could obtain information about Viscount Glaint's reason for being here.

"That's a surprise, Mr. Grievius. I didn't know the Viscount was interested in hunting."

"And he's not interested in hunting brat, he's been good friends with Dutch since they were young and they both share the hobby of mysticism"

"Is that so?"

"Yeah brat he probably came by to see if the rumor that Dutch would use the party to show off the new addition to his collection was true."

Adryan nodded at this information now knowing a bit of why Viscount Glaint was here this afternoon.
