The birthday on October 10th is a holiday celebrating the establishment of the Yin'ao Empire. On October 10th of the third year in the Gregorian calendar, the Yin'ao Kingdom officially unified the neighboring small countries and established the Yin'ao Empire, harnessing the strength of the entire nation to resist against the insect race.
In the first ten or so years before the insect race was eradicated, the birth of the day typically consisted of military parades - showcasing the nation's power to the public and boosting confidence in the fight against the insect race. However, in recent years, this five-day festival has gradually become more diverse and colorful, no longer as intense and solemn as before.
After a day and a half of military parade, it was time for the people to indulge in unrestrained revelry - this is also what the country hoped for. While not forgetting the pursuit of power, the stagnant culture and entertainment industry was also developed (of course, holiday culture is just a small aspect).
And those at the top of the class hierarchy, the nobles, naturally enjoy it even more. Almost every year, the major aristocratic families would issue invitations, inviting nobles within the ranks or well-known figures from various industries to attend banquets. They would seize this opportunity to make connections with certain individuals or to achieve certain goals.
This kind of banquet is different from Miss Hughes' costume party. To put it bluntly, it is intertwined with relationships and interests, and it is everywhere.
However, no matter what, compared to a formal occasion like a conference hall, there are also plenty of relaxed situations. Perhaps, after achieving your goal, you can spend a pleasant evening with an omega, beta, or alpha that catches your eye.
Gray and his talkative friend, Nelson, met at the entrance of the hall. At that moment, Gray had just rejected a graceful and noble lady named Bata. He then saw Nelson, who was bowing down with a face full of bitterness, incessantly instructing a young girl who was more than two heads shorter than him.
Gray scanned the room with a single glance.
She dresses like a cute lady, but she wears a sour expression and gives off an extremely impatient look. With her chubby baby face and childish manner, there is a striking contrast.
Nielsen likes this one...? Gray's initial reaction was this, but he quickly noticed the resemblance in their appearances, so this must be Nielsen's sister?
Perhaps Gray had been staring for too long, as the young girl's eyes suddenly turned cold and shot a sharp look at him.
Meanwhile, Nielsen also spotted Gray and hurriedly pulled his sister over.
"Nelson, let go of your filthy hands." Otto Horton was pulled by Nelson and stumbled for a moment. Taking advantage of the distraction, he extended the dainty little leather shoe hidden under his skirt and kicked Nelson in the leg.
Neilson's features twisted slightly for a moment. His little sister's strength was growing stronger. When did she start deviating further and further from the term "lady"? Ah... it was probably when he discovered those lewd drawings she made.
My younger sister has changed, or rather, I should say she no longer hides it. She's becoming more and more violent, alas. Even our parents have given up on trying to treat her. What else can he do?
Nelson's face twisted with a mix of emotions as he thought about it. He hoped that he wouldn't run into Lance from the Hilary family today, or else it would be really difficult for him to control his sister.
Yesterday I received your message and was a little surprised. How did you suddenly come to your senses? Looks like you have a demand after all?" Nielsen regained his composure and teased, but he didn't notice the disdainful look from his sister, Oti.
Gray felt that Otis, being a minor, was indeed quite interesting. He didn't respond to Neilson's words: "Your sister? Has she not awakened her gender yet?"
Nelson suddenly felt a bit nervous. "Gray, what do you want to do? I warn you, my sister she's..."
"...Nelson, are you using your brain today?" said Gray.
"Idiot Nilson!" This was Otis, "Get your hands off!"
Neilson suddenly felt a bit tired in his heart, he was injured.
Odetty naturally understood what Neilson was thinking: "Don't worry, I won't cause trouble." After thinking for a moment, Odetty added, "Brother." Odetty was truly getting a little anxious. The Parsi family was so big, when would she be able to find her own angel! So frustrating! Why won't stupid Neilson let go!
Hmm?! Your grip has loosened a bit? Let's go!! With a sharp look in his eyes, Aoti quickly ran away.
Nielsen was actually stunned. He suddenly turned to Gray and said, "My sister hasn't called me 'brother' for a whole month."
"And then?"
"He suddenly called me 'brother' in order to get rid of that annoying kid from the Xavier family!"
"Who are you looking for?" Gray, who was originally somewhat indifferent, immediately looked towards Nielsen upon hearing a familiar surname.
"Lance Shirley!" Nielsen muttered, "I shouldn't have agreed to Otti's request. Allowing her to come here is like sending a lamb into the tiger's den... Oh, wait..." Suddenly, Nielsen remembered the small yellow drawings his sister made... but she was in all of them...
What the hell! Lance... is the sheep? Nielsen swallowed saliva and just as he was about to say to Gray that he would leave first, he discovered that Gray had already disappeared.
Where are the people?
Left behind, Neilson's face was filled with confusion and loneliness.
