Chapter 23: Grand Ball

Jennie's POV

"Do you like my son?"

As much as I want to laugh out loud, I know that will be rude to them, so I tried not to and maintain my blank expression.

What made them think that I like Lee Taeyong?

But still, I've never thought I'll be eating dinner with the very people who want to erase me and my kind.

It all started in the fourth day of the bet. Nothing much was done but I still enjoyed it. The fourth day is known for being the performing arts day, singing, dancing and many more competitions connected to arts and performances. We watched some of those competitions and strolled around the university as usual, until we got bored and just went back to the garden where we always spend our time. That's when he invited me to his mansion to meet his parents before we even go the ball. Saying that his parents wants to meet me as his partner to the event.

Of course, I agreed but hesitantly. To be honest I almost rejected it, even if it was fine to him, but not for me. They are the most narrow minded people, I know it, and my rejection will surely made them suspicious about me. I mean, except for us human deities and are opposed to the deity hunting, who doesn't want to meet the head of the head of the leading family group in this world where they are considered as heroes because they killed human deities? None, unless it was someone who's against the deity hunting or a human deity itself. So even if it was a hard choice, I agreed, and besides, the B3CG is already struggling, I don't want to add more of their struggles in protecting my identity and my kind.

And at the very first time, my brother forbid me to go which really made me surprised. I mean he was always like, 'you have to be closer to Taeyong', 'I know you do that!', 'it's your job as the our princess'. But when I told him about it, he immediately disagreed, saying I'm not going to meet his parents because it's dangerous.

Please, no one is more dangerous than Lee Taeyong himself. I took noticed of him already, his skills, ability and talent, in the time the bet started, and no one is far more dangerous than him. I know that.

"I'm going to meet them."

"No, you're not, Kim Jennie," my brother sternly said. "I'm not going to let you go and meet them."

"And what? Let those heads suspect me? You know the kind of world where we are currently living Taehyung. Everyone wants to meet heroes, which are practically them, and those who doesn't want to, are considered as enemies and human deities," I explained which made him quiet. "The head are already struggling in hiding us in anyway possible, I don't want to add them more things to do so I'm going. Besides being with them, maybe I'll know more about their plan and to at least prepare ourselves to whatsoever their plans are."

"Are you really are sure about this, princess?" Chanyeol oppa asked.

I nodded, "Yes," with conviction I said then turned to my brother, "You always say that I won't know what's what if I don't take risk and if I'm always in the safe side, and now that I'm here, you won't let me? Seriously? That's so unfair oppa," I said. "You're not the only direct descendant of the king here, you're not the only one who will free us from the treat of deity hunting. I too, am a direct descendant of the once king, I too, has a responsibility to free us from deity hunting, that's why I'm going," I said with conviction and smiled at him. "Don't worry, it's not like I'm going in a war wherein there's a chance that I'll die, it's just a dinner talk."

And so yeah, he finally let me but made Jisoo unnie make ability gems to attached in my earrings, bracelets, necklace and ring. He made me wear this all despite my rejection since I'm not a fan of wearing jewelries and accessories, but he made me wear this all right since he was scared that maybe I can't stand those heads and set a rampage instead and let everyone know that I'm a human deity. And I don't want to think about it but all this time, that was the reason he doesn't want me to go because he knows my temper and all.
