If this isn't mandatory, hindi talaga ako aattend ngayon. It's a lot better to stay at home or lumabas at pumunta sa Central City habang naka disguise na naman.
"Announcing the arrival of Count Vicinto and his family, Countess Isabella, the young count and the eldest son Daniel Delquantes and the youngest Vierro Delquantes."
Dere-deretso ang lakad namin sa gitna na pinalilibutan ng mga mahahalagang tao sa buong mundo. I could feel everyone watching our every step while some were clapping.
Tumigil kami when we arrived in the middle of the banquet where everyone's gathering. This is another day of socializing. Nakakapagod but I have to, it's every noble's duty in order to fit and be recognized by other people. You have to stay firm and strong, even in the midst of criticism.
"Glad to see you again, Daniel." Nakangiting bati agad ni Mikhael as soon as he saw me.
"Greetings, sir Mikhael Arkanza. I am glad to see you as well." nakangiti ko namang bati sa kaniya.
"Isn't it been a while? We really only see each other in an event like this." aniya which made me chuckled.
"True. We're all busy, after all we're already adults." sabi ko naman, mahina rin siyang tumawa at tumango.
"I am with the other gentlemen, gusto nilang makipag usap sa'yo." biglang sabi niya, "But knowing you, you'll prioritize your friends more than the other strangers." natatawa niyang sabi. Napatingin at ngumiti nalang ako samga taong nasa likuran niya.
"The day's long, I'll meet them once I'm done with the elder nobles." sabi ko naman kay Mikhael.
And with that, I excused myself, iniwan ko siya with his friends, nakipag usap rin ako sa mga kilalang nobles that I recognized. This is really tiring. But this banquet is different from the other banquet I attended, dahil hindi lang nobles from Aesthenberg ang nandito ngayon.
The banquet hall of the Palace is so big, I didn't even know where father, mother Isabella and Vierro. We are all busy paying attention to the other nobles, hindi ko tuloy napansin kung saan sila pumunta.
"Oh, Daniel Delquantes. Glad to see you here!"
Napatigil ako sa paglalakad sa gitna ng maraming tao when someone suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Greetings, sir Count Hilberto Ercellan." agad naman akong yumuko at bumati nang makilala ito.
Tumawa naman siya, "You look exhausted, nakakapagod bang makipag halubilo sa mga taong nandirito ngayon?"
I just simply sighed, "Of course, but I need to." Natawa naman siya dahil sa sinabi ko.
"Father, Prince Timothy's looking for you." biglang may dumating at nagsalita sa likuran ni Count Hilberto kaya pareho kaming napatingin rito.
