'' LET THE BALL BEGIN''
With that, the event finally started in its full mood. The influence Izaak created just a while ago showed its color almost instantly. Young heirs of different families came toward us. Thanks to Izaak my debut was a hit too.
'' Young Lady Valentiara is indeed a rare beauty!'' Prince from Uthiya complimented. I showed him a business smile for the sake of making my footing stronger. '' Prince is too kind,'' I said shyly. He chuckled and was about to say something but Izaak cut him off.
'' Lady Valentiara has been standing here for a while now. You must be tired?'' He asked while smiling kindly which wasn't actually kind at all but I just played along with him.
'' If Your Highness doesn't mind, I would like to rest,'' I said. Prince of Uthiya looked a little sad but avoiding him will be best. I walked toward the balcony which seemed less crowded than inside. Great for a little break. Walking inside the balcony I saw a very familiar back facing the door.
'' Sebastian?'' I called out his name. Sebastian turned around and Titling his head a little he smirked, ''You are beyond my imagination, Valentiara.'' I closed the door behind me and walked toward him. '' Have I?'' I asked him. His sky-blue eyes darkened, '' You knew about the prince being able to use Darkness and that's why you are betting everything on him, right?'' '' Why do you think like that?'' I asked him as if he was wrong. Sebastian stepped closer to me and kept holding eye contact with me, '' In your position isn't betting everything over a powerless prince equal to suicide? You choose him because he has the power to rule but none to give him support. And you are someone who has ambition at the same time you want to ensure your safety and don't want to be thrown away at the end. Am I wrong?''
I let out a chuckle, '' It's crazy how you know my mind the best in both times.'' Sebastian frowned not understanding the real meaning behind my words. I walked past him and leaned against the railing I looked down the balcony and said, '' You are right.'' '' That means, You want to make the First Aster the Emperor?'' He sounded shocked. I turned toward him and stood straight, '' Yes, I want to make First Aster the ruler of Silver Throne and I will make him the most powerful Emperor in history.''
Sebastian's eyes widen. The sky started getting clouded making the wind blow crazily. I wonder what he saw back then that made him so shocked. He lowered his head and clenched his fist, '' Are You Confident?'' I smiled and replied, '' I Am More Than Just Confident.''
Sky grumbled loudly making it seem like it will rain any time soon. A feeling arose in me that my one answer might change Sebastian's life completely. He rose his head. His sky-blue eyes held a determination that I never saw before. The Sebastian I knew only knows two things, Revenge and Loyalty, a man with nothing to lose because he believed nothing belonged to him in the first place. The only mission in his life was to take revenge and after taking his revenge his life circled around Atticus who gave him a chance to take revenge.
'' Lady Valentiara, I will swear my loyalty to you in return you must allow me to take the so-called sun down with my own bare hands.'' He finally said those words. Sebastian clearly stated his desire finally. I smirked proudly and stepped forward, '' You have my words. The moment Izaak sits on the throne, You are free to do anything with the sun.''
His eyes soften and a breath of relief left his mouth. Sebastian got on his knee kissed the back of my hand and mouthed the words I wanted to hear the most from the first time I met him in our second life,
'' I, Sebastian Erars, Swore Upon My Honor, Name, and the power of Ice Dragon that is flowing through my veins, I shall stay loyal to Vantentiara Von Casvoner up until I am called back by the Almighty Himself. No regret shall take place in my heart if I were to die to keep my promise and I shall die with my heart getting frozen if I break my oath.''
That's it. Atticus, I have stolen one of the most useful pawns. One by one, everything you desired and had will be mine. In the fire of my anger, you will lose everything.
