The Fated Twins

Chapter 17: First Encounter

Venion looked at the twins with his hidden suspicion. He had originally come over to speak to them to confirm if his suspicions were unfounded. After all, according to the knight's testimonies, the more likely culprit was the organization that had given them the black dragon. But despite this, he still couldn't rid himself completely of his suspicion of the twins' group who happened to spend a night there during the time of the incident.

Cale: "If you drink and then wake up to have a hangover drink, all your bad memories will disappear." Cale was starting to get visibly more enthusiastic, he was really enjoying the plan Kim came up with.

Cale, with his many years of experience acting like trash, this was the easiest task Kim had asked of him. But more so the fact that he enjoyed the fact he was secretly dissing Venion without him knowing that he was completely aware of what he was doing as Venion would be completely unaware of his true intentions thinking of him only as trash. It reminded him of the times he used his trash act to scare off gangsters in their territory. It was great that his trash reputation could be so versatile against the true trash of the human race, like Venion.

Venion: 'As if this trash and just as useless twin could steal a dragon.' "Thank you for the offer, Young Master Cale, but maybe next time."

Cale: "Ah, that's disappointing, but I guess next time it is. But you know, your knight was extremely pale at that time. You should have prepared in advance for such a situation, Young Master Neo. How could you lose all those valuable things at once? You may not recover what you lost, but what can you do about it? You have to just live on." Kim just went along and nodded to Cale's rant. Both sat back down proud of their accomplishments while everyone else stared at them stunned.

While Venion walked to his seat his thoughts were filled with his inner turmoil of the situation he found himself put back in the forefront thanks to the twin's remarks.

Venion: 'That trash...that fucking dragon and that crippled son of a bitch. Where the hell did they go?!' Neo was following behind with a very visible scowl knowing if Venion was angry he'd likely take it out on him.

Kim: "Cheer up, Young Master Neo." Both twins kept up the innocent and ignorant act happily knowing the world of hurt they had intentionally caused Neo.

Announcer: "Entering, Young Master Antonio Guerre of the Duke Guerre Family. Entering, Lady Karin Orsena of the Duke Orsena Family!" With those names, the last of the Noble guests had arrived.

Cale started to play with the bottle of wine to meet the expectations as trash as it thankfully diverted the attention of most while some still made the occasional glances.

Eric: "Young Master Cale." Cale glanced at them before letting go of the bottle.

Cale: "I guess I'll drink later."

Eric: "Good idea."

Kim looked at his pocket watch, 'it shouldn't be long now.' As soon as the clock went to 5 pm.

Screeeeeech-

The large doors opened and the main characters of this event had finally made their entrance followed by their entourage.

The servant was about to announce their entry in his best and loudest voice; if the Crown Prince had not stopped him before he could. He seemed to enjoy the attention on him, as he headed to his elevated seat without introduction. All of the nobles got up to greet him, and Crown Prince Alberu left the second and third princes behind as he headed to the highest spot in the hall.

Bang.

As soon as he stood in front of his seat, the door closed. It meant that everyone was present. Crown Prince Alberu looked down at the second and third princes, as well as everyone else and started to speak.
