Everyone clapped when Sophia came out looking like a goddess descending on the mortal realm. Sophia herself didn't want to have this party, but her dad insisted she does so. The reason for that is that she needed to tell the world that she was engaged to Bruce so that people will stop sending marriage proposals to The Church of Light.
The rumor that she had a fiancée had been ignored by everyone after they found out that she had been having relationships with an unknown man named Bruce Stellae in the Imperial Academy.
The Alliance of Kingdoms announced that Bruce currently holds the title of Prince of the Alliance. However, since no one had ever seen him in public or witnessed his strengths, every major influence cast him aside in their minds.
Since Sophia had chosen to abandon her fiancée for some unnamed person, why shouldn't they have a chance with her?
"Cortez, where is your so-called prodigy?" Cormac Monet, one of the Great Emperors from the Dark Forces, came over to greet Chef John.
"Didn't I tell you that he's still training in seclusion?" John narrowed his eyes when he saw his nemesis. It was a shame that the Church of Light forbade conflicts at the party.
"We all know that's not true"
"A little bird told me that no one had seen him for two years"
"Also, everyone around him left the academy while his parents are depressed over these past couple of years"
"Tell me Cortez, is your prodigy dead?" Cormac smiled evilly.
"You want to die?" John had a wicked expression on his face.
"John, calm down" Steven stood in front of John to prevent any mishaps.
"Cornet, please don't try to provoke us anymore"
"I'm sure James Bennet would love to kick you out since his daughter is dating our prodigy" Steven said with a chilling smile. He too was furious, but this wasn't the right time nor the correct place to clash against the Dark Forces.
"Hmph, you rats better watch yourselves" Monet walked away after confirming that something did happen to Bruce Stellae.
Sophia had sent people to escort Bruce's parents over to the party along with the protection of Headmaster Steven and Chef John. When she saw Bruce's parents, she walked down to greet them.
"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Stellae" Sophia smiled at Bruce's parents.
"Hello Sophia, you look absolutely stunning today" Elizabeth hugged Sophia. Logan wanted to hug Sophia as well, but he would incur wrath from his wife.
"How have you guys been?" Sophia asked as she did feel guilty about leaving them alone in the Imperial Academy.
"We've been doing well" Elizabeth politely replied but Sophia could tell the sad undertone in her response.
As the three of them chatted among themselves to catch up, an unruly visitor came into the conversation.
"Hello Sophia, my name is Vincent Kingston" Vincent immediately arrived near Sophia.
Sophia distanced herself from Vincent as she detested any man who approached her with lustful eyes.
"Hello" Sophia greeted him politely, but she was disgusted by him. She saw how he looked at her. Ever since she took down her veils, all the men she interacted with besides her father looked at her lecherously.
The only person who didn't fall into lust after seeing her face was her beloved. She just wanted to announce her engagement to Bruce and leave the party as soon as possible.
"You shouldn't be hanging around these commoners"
"It would hurt your status" Vincent looked at Bruce's parents like they were worms. He felt nothing but disdain toward them.
"Excuse me?" Sophia's face turned cold.
"Didn't you hear? This guy is the trash that got rejected by the Albero family" Vincent pointed at Logan.
"Their strongest protector is only a weak Divine Emperor"
"They're not worth your breath"
The Kingston family had done research on Sophia after Vincent saw her portrait. They found out that Sophia was involved with someone named Bruce Stellae in the Imperial Academy. Vincent wanted to kill Bruce immediately but couldn't because of his status as the Prince of the Alliance Kingdom.
For some reason, Bruce had never shown himself to the public in two years. Knowing that Bruce wasn't coming to the party, Vincent did research on his parents instead. As expected, Bruce came from a commoner's background. He was nothing compared to Vincent.
Logan clutched his hands tightly to a point that blood came out from them. He couldn't refute anything because Vincent was correct, he was the trash that the Albero family rejected.
Elizabeth expected this and consoled her husband while looking at Vincent coldly. They tried their hardest to not be depressed when thinking of Bruce, but Vincent's mocking words caused them to miss their son dearly once again.
If Bruce was here, this hot shot from an ancient family wouldn't even dare to talk to them like this.
Both Logan and Elizabeth did not want to come to the party because they knew their status did not match that of Sophia. They had to come since Sophia personally invited them. Logan wanted to tell the asshole to go away, but he knew doing so would only bring catastrophe to his family. Hence, he decided to look away and not say anything.
"That fucking asshole!" Deion wanted to pummel Vincent for insulting his best friend's parents, but he was held back by Edward.
Meredith looked at Vincent with deadly stares. If looks could kill, Vincent would have already died many times.
Chelsey and Edward didn't like how Vincent treated Bruce's parents either, but it was prohibited to fight at the party. Furthermore, none of them could defeat Vincent.
"Mr. Kingston was it?" Sophia spoke up.
"I'm sorry but I don't like you very much"

"I would like you to leave along with the people that came with you" Sophia showed Vincent the way out.
Vincent expected this behavior from her after all, his family did send a marriage proposal, but it got rejected.
"Sophia, please calm down"
"I'm simply telling you that your boyfriend who came from a commoner's background is no match for me"
Sophia looked at Vincent with a cold expression.
"It doesn't matter because Bruce Stellae is the one I love"
"I would like to announce to everyone that Bruce Stellae is my fiancée!"
"WHAT!"
Everyone at the party was shocked by the news. How could the most beautiful goddess on the continent be engaged to some unknown brat?
Even if he has the backing of the Alliance of Kingdoms, many people will wage war for Sophia.
Chef John and Headmaster Steven didn't like the way the party was headed. All the Great Emperors became tense because there was a good chance a battle would break out soon.
"Are you joking Sophia?" Vincent was furious.
"How could that trash Bruce Stellae be comparable to me?"
"I'm the greatest genius that this continent has ever seen"
"Only I can be matched to you"
Sophia's cold expression remained as she released her killing intent toward Vincent.
"Bruce is much more talented than you and he's a much better person than you could ever be"
"He never abused his position of power to bully the weak"
"If you insult him one more time, I will kill you!"
"You!" Vincent was livid with Sophia.
If possible, he would forcibly take her back to his family and enjoy her body. Unfortunately, The Church of Light wasn't something his family could offend.
As the tension was growing stronger, something miraculous happened.
A spit landed on Vincent's face. The spit flew with such great speed that even the Great Emperors didn't see what happened.
Vincent touched his face just to smell the saliva from someone else's mouth. His eyes turned bloodshot as he looked for the perpetrator.
A light sound was heard from the corner.
The miraculous thing happened again, another spit landed on his other cheek.
"MOTHERFUCKER COME OUT NOW!" Vincent unleashed his Divine Emperor aura.
"Oh, I'm sorry"
"I saw a fly land near your face and wanted to help you get rid of it"
"You know what people say, flies tend to fly around shit"
Everyone focused their attention on the voice and saw a masked man nonchalantly drinking wine while sitting down.
"You're dead!" Vincent arrived in front of the masked man to cut off his head.
The masked man lazily raised up his finger to block the sword.
BANG
He continued to drink the wine while the sword was stopped by his finger.
"Do you mind? I'm trying to drink here"
"Who are you?" Vincent wasn't stupid. Someone who was able to stop his attack must be at the Great Emperor stage.
"Who am I you say?" The masked man put the cup down.
"I am his majesty's ambassador"
"The one who supports his majesty in the dark and does his bidding"
"My name is Jonathan Hopkins!"
