Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 612
612. Azazel Shineleaf & Rachel Luabella
***
There was a small commotion.
At first glance, it seemed like a small argument and might not have attracted much attention, but since the subjects of the conversation were the people receiving the most attention in this banquet hall, it immediately caught the attention of the audience.
And among them, of course, I couldn’t help but look at the royal family who held today’s banquet.
Ok.
Rachel gently put down the whiskey she was holding and slowly looked towards where the commotion was coming from.
“… … .”
And then he narrowed his eyes.
Really, it was strange.
Ever since she parted ways with Han Tiansheng at the beginning of the banquet, she had always had a strange feeling.
There is something unexpected.
And that’s someone she didn’t invite.
‘Azazel… ?’
Why is that woman in this banquet hall?
The only people who can enter the banquet hall held by my brother and I are those who are invited. So, it means that Azazel is a woman invited by her older brother.
As I slowly turned my head, I kept my brother in my eyes.
“…….”
My brother was watching with interest, looking calm and weak.
Amidst the strange question of why on earth they had invited me, an instinctive feeling of rejection arose. Just looking at her abilities and talents, she is an outstanding woman that anyone would pay attention to, but both her brother and I already knew that.
There is something unsettling about Azazel.
There is something instinctively foreign to keep close and touch… … .
However, the fact that they invited me meant something that I didn’t know about.
“I don’t think I did anything wrong. I didn’t say that out of disrespect for Han Cheon-seong. “Lady, I just expressed my belief that there is a man who is more suitable for you.”
A small smile escaped my eyes as I noticed the man speaking calmly but confidently.
‘It was definitely the Marquis of Istherin.’
The second son, who is not the eldest son, mentions it with such presence.
Something about that felt funny to me.
“Hmm.”
I was aware that my brother was watching the situation with interest, so I didn’t feel the need to step forward.
Revan Istherin knew everything and was acting like that. And with words bordering on arrogance, I was trying to disparage the man I had chosen.
And while my gaze was directed towards Han Tiansheng, I ended up looking at Azazel.
It was clearly holding his hand.
As if she wanted to keep the man by her side, she kept saying strange things while holding on to the man I had chosen.
“Is it possible to say that there is a man like that in this banquet hall because he is a more suitable man for me?”
“That’s true if I say it myself. Needless to say, I think it suits you quite well. What a dazzling talent you have. I have the power to unleash your talents and lead you to greater heights. And the Istherin family has that much power.”
The man named Revan was extremely proud.
Even though I was wondering where on earth I got that level of self-esteem, I kept bursting into laughter.
“In the end, what I said a moment ago cannot be undone.”
“yes. Because I am confident in myself. “I have no hesitation as I approach Lady.”
A small curiosity arose in the voice that was so direct that it felt explicit.
‘The Shineleaf family’s power is declining, and even their status as a baron is in jeopardy.’
For her family, this was an opportunity.
Even if he was qualified to have a man of higher rank than Revan, having the second son of the Marquis’ family express such direct interest would not be such a bad choice for Azazel.
“I’m sorry, but I think Han Tiansheng is far above you.”
And when the more direct words came out, I saw Azazel again.
“Lady… … ?”
Even though Revan staggered as if in shock, Azazel actually took a step forward and presented himself.
“Revan, I understand that you are the marquis’ second son. When it comes to the Shineleaf family, you are far above me. This direct expression of favor is not seen as a bad thing. however. Because my eyes are so high. A person who proves his/her worth and can approach me. If it weren’t for a man like that, I wouldn’t be able to satisfy my eyes. In that sense, Han Tiansheng is above any other man in this banquet hall right now.”
cold.
And be firm.
The huge expression in Azazel’s voice that could almost be described as madness immediately plunged the banquet hall into great silence.
“That’s amazing.”
When my brother burst out laughing, I, on the other hand, was speechless.
‘What is that girl…? … ?’
I also had some information about a woman named Azazel. She is the biggest regular within the Grand Colosseum, and as she is a woman who has recently gained attention and presence, she cannot help but keep an eye on her.
I heard the news that their relationship with Han Tian-Sheng was not very good, but the reflection of her in my eyes was almost the complete opposite.
Just like Han Tiansheng… … .
Strange actions and words that make it seem like they care about you. I could only see her appearance now as revealing such feelings.
Sreuk.
Even as I slowly got up from my seat, my heart became cold and hard.
“Lady… … . that is… What on earth… … “What do you mean?”
Revan, who was stuttering as if he still didn’t understand the situation, no longer caught my eye.
Again.
Even though I was taking steps, I didn’t feel like it was a good idea to just sit back and watch.
‘I need to separate them.’
Even so, from the moment the banquet started, that woman was annoying.
She continues to act next to Han Cheon-seong, stealing his attention and showing off her beauty.
Again.
As I walked towards where they were, I kept my eyes on Han Tiansheng.
A perplexed expression. While looking at Azazel, I felt a little relieved.
‘I have no heart.’
At least he doesn’t like a woman named Azazel. Knowing that I could be sure of that much made me feel extremely relieved.
***
It’s direct.
No, to be blunt, I don’t understand why he acts like this.
‘why?’
I wonder if Azazel is protecting me, and he spoke as if he were valuing me so highly that he would without hesitation make humiliating remarks to the face of a nobleman with the high title of marquis.
Even now, the sight of Azazel staring at Revan with a cold smile was extremely foreign to me.
What are you thinking?
It’s hard to understand why he talks to me like this and acts strangely towards me.
No, it’s hard to understand… … I hated it.
Because I keep thinking about other things. Because Azazel’s words and actions that approached me made me think differently.
Yet, I have tried my best to deny it.
I should hate her. She felt she had to be suspicious and tried to rule out even the thought.
But now Azazel has revealed his feelings in a way that cannot be denied.
And that in front of all the nobles in the banquet hall.
Swish.
When Azazel suddenly turned his head and stared at me, I felt instantly overwhelmed.
“Do you think what I’m saying right now is too much?”
I hesitated with my lips when the voice asked.
“… … no.”
I couldn’t deny myself here.
Be confident in yourself. Because I am in this banquet hall with confidence.
Moreover, I couldn’t belittle myself in this place where many nobles were watching me.
“Yes, I think you are much better than the other men here.”
As she grinned and said something strange without even realizing it, I ended up avoiding her gaze without even realizing it.
I flinch.
I couldn’t face her smile while shaking my hands.
‘Strange.’
Even though I thought this banquet was definitely an event I had to attend, the banquet hall now felt even more uncomfortable.
Again.
And then, when I heard a clear sound in the quiet silence, my gaze went blank.
“I agree with her.”
A more powerful presence captivated me along with the brilliant voice.
Rachel, her blonde hair shining brightly in the light, was looking at me with a faint smile.
“Han Tiansheng. “Can you give me some time?”
She held out her white hand without hesitation, and as soon as I saw it, I was acting reflexively.
Sreuk.
Kneel down on one knee and naturally show the respect one would expect from a member of the royal family.
“… … It is an honour. Princess.”
This is how the royal family expressed interest in someone at the banquet hall. In that case, even if the other person was a high-ranking noble, there was an example that had to be shown to the royal family.
And I, still a commoner, could never have rejected her offer, nor should I have had the heart to refuse.
As I gently kissed her hand, Azazel’s gaze right next to me felt strangely cold.
