Chapter 74: Tea Party invitation

According to my book, the second chapter of the reverse harem story will begin the next morning. Father said that I will have to attain a party as a noble. So, I\'m guessing that I will attain the story with the female lead too.

In my book, the female lead was invited to a tea party where all the young nobles attained to socialize with each other. The female lead will come to enjoy the party with David Lionheart, the third male lead for the first time and she will catch everyone\'s attention with her seductive powers. She will become the centre of attention in just one day. On the same day, the first male lead will attend the party to invite her to dinner and she will gladly accept it in secret.

That day, she will spend her whole night with the prince like a newlywed and go back to her house happily.

Hah! Do I really have to attend the tea party? I have work to do for my job.

Adonis came inside his new room and poured a cup of tea. Viktor didn\'t like sugar that much, so he used flower essence instead to make the flavour sweet.

"Master, your assistant sent you a letter with tons of papers."

"Already? Did he forget about the existence of the weekend?"

Viktor toured the letter\'s wrapper and took out the paper inside of it. But it wasn\'t a job-related letter. It was something about an unusual movement of imperial guards inside the imperial office and inside of his office. It was obtained from a guard who witnessed an unknown man entering the office room. He thought that someone from the commander\'s troops might have forgotten something inside the office. So he didn\'t pay any attention to it.

But when he asked the other guard about that person who entered the office at that hour, the other guard said nobody came.

They never saw any commander\'s soldier went inside to pick something up.

And a guard from the office went inside Viktor\'s office at midnight. But when he was questioned, he claimed that he wasn\'t even on duty that night.

And nothing inside Viktor\'s office was stolen that night.

So, I took a day off and my office was fully licked off by that female lead\'s dogs. What a greedy woman!

"Master, should I pour another cup?"

"No, but why are you glaring at the papers like that"

Viktor looked at his confused face and turned his head in the direction he was looking at.

"Master, I think someone else looked through the sealed papers."

"Yes, I can tell. The seal was reattached by a professional. Even my father won\'t be able to see any difference between a real seal and a reattached seal."

"Master, should I investigate this matter?"

"Yes, find the mastermind who perfectly made a fake seal of the military commander."

Since I don\'t know his name, I won\'t find him in my records. I just need to see him to search for his book. But there are hundreds of people who work for the military.

Adonis vanished into thin air after finishing his afternoon tea and Viktor leaned to his chair to talk with the lizards and spiders around him.

"You know, I don\'t like being watched by someone who\'s not obeying the direct orders of my father. I\'m sure you are confused because you couldn\'t even hear our conversation. But you know, your presence inside my study room is really annoying."

The shadow knights who were sticking to the walls invisibly became shocked that Viktor felt their presence. But they still acted like he was speaking nonsense.

They chose to maintain their position to obtain more information about him.

Viktor looked at his nails and said, "Pink hair, on the corner of the bookshelf, Roswell, age 27. 2 children.

Above my head sticking on the wall like a spider, Andrew Mcfort, age 34, sick wife, 1 child.

On the wall at 8 o\'clock, Erik Tetroes, age 42, wife died 4 years ago. Dead kids.

Dark brown hair, D…"

"STOP!!!! THAT\'S ENOUGH!"

A man finally came in front of him and said, "We are the shadow knights. Our personal information are all in the hands of our leader. And they are all coded and impossible to break without knowing the right clues. How do you know every detail about us?"

"Didn\'t my father inform the team to stay out of my business? It was you who crossed the lines. So, what\'s wrong with me looking into your files? Mr Crossbow?"

The shadow knight was seriously shocked to hear his nickname from Viktor\'s mouth. Because it was a nickname that his father gave him. He was good with a crossbow when he was young, so his father used to call him that.

But there was no soul that existed on the planet who knew his nickname. Even he nearly forgot about that name.

"We.. We are sorry. But please stop calling us by our names. We don\'t even know our comrades. We use numbers as our names."

"Then get out of my room if you don\'t want me to announce your d*** size in front of everyone"

"Whatt!!"

"I\'m kidding-_-."

I can see his face turned fully red under that black mask. Heheh! Sometimes, it\'s really funny to read through people\'s nighttime records.

Maybe I\'m getting dumber. I mean, why do I enjoy reading those things? I\'m a damn 36-year-old man!

Or am I missing something in life-_-?

Viktor felt lonely for the first time after coming to a different world. He was missing the spring in his life.

Man. I will never get a wife.

Tsk!

Next day morning at 8.

Henry came inside Viktor\'s dressing room and saw he was struggling with his hair. He forgot to comb his hair after midnight\'s cold shower. So, his long hair was full of knots.

"Elder brother, why do you have this excessively long hair? It\'s longer than your body height."

"Oh, this? It works great as a weapon."

Henry became confused to hear his excuse, so Viktor explained it with a detailed picture.

"See this single hair?" Viktor used aura to control his 7 feet tall hair as a whip and grabbed Henry\'s arm in the blink of his eyes.

"It works as a whip. And it can slice off your arm as butter if I move my finger a little."

Henry\'s eyes nearly reached his forehead, because he didn\'t even see the hair wrapped around his arm before Viktor told him.

"Wow, you\'re a better assassin than I am. Just how did you control your hair like that? It\'s not like it\'s made of solid material."

"Hahaha! It requires a lot of practice."

"Elder brother, how was your life back in the stable?"

Viktor looked at his reflection of Henry and said, "It was peaceful. Back in those days, I only had to feed the horses and clean the stable with my magic. I didn\'t have too much responsibility, I didn\'t have any office to attain, and I didn\'t have to spend hours on a report. I lived a poor but great life."

"If you have this much power, why didn\'t you become a great adventurer? Or a knight?"

"I don\'t like to work. I\'m too lazy for that." Viktor finally fixed his hair and wore a hair tie that Adonis bought from a different continent last night.

"It\'s just hard to believe those words coming out of your mouth who literally control the military in secret."

Viktor smiled at his younger brother. "Yes. I am a lazy person who loves to sleep. But even god can\'t stand my laziness. Let\'s go, the party will start soon."

"Yes, elder brother."

Feros was waiting inside the carriage for his elder brothers. The three brothers were invited to join the party, so the three of them wore the same outfits to attend it. They were looking so charming that the maids of the house almost fainted. But the most charming one among them was Viktor.

On the carriage…

"Brother, what kind of academy is Lyfrone?", Feros asked.

"Hm? You know it\'s forbidden to talk about the academy outside."

"Well, okay. Then tell me what was the bold thing you did in the academy?"

"I dragged a prince to his death."

Both of them were surprised to hear him. But there was no news about a prince who went missing.

"That\'s because he committed a grave sin. And the academy doesn\'t care even if it\'s a prince or a king. When he died, his existence was erased by the authorities."

"So, you mean he was really famous?", Feros asked.

"Yes. He was a future king of a kingdom."

He was a sly fox who wanted to make me his dog by throwing some bread in front of my mouth. It\'s a good thing that he died. Or that kingdom would\'ve faced calamity already.

Viktor looked outside and saw they had already reached the party. It was almost 8 am.

"Brother, let\'s go. The Heuston family has prepared a special table for you." Henry opened the door for his elder brother gently and the three of them got out.

The party was huge as if it looked like a royal ball was being held. All the noble family\'s youngsters attended the tea party to meet the prince, also they wanted to meet the Harvort heir.

Since both of them were single, all the girls from wealthy noble families targeted them to become a mistress of the house.

But they didn\'t know another gem came to the family.

The gateman saw the three of them coming towards the gate, so they removed all the unwanted girls from the path and opened the door.

"Now!! I announce the guests from the Harvord family.

The newly announced heir of the Harvort, Henry Harvort.

The great 4-star knight, Feros Harvort.

And the hidden son of the family, the firstborn of Duke Harvort, Viktor Harvort. The branch director of UPO is now entering the party."

Everyone was too shocked to hear Henry wasn\'t the firstborn of the family. The duke had a secret child who climbed all the way to an international organization.

The crowd started to chatter about Viktor right after he entered the party.

"Brother, it looks like our table is over there. The party is going to start soon."

Well, here goes nothing.
