I pulled out the super rare monster card that no one has ever even seen- I'm bullshitting.
I take out the velvet colored invitation envelope and give it to the guy. He takes a quick look at it before giving it back and looked at my sword.
"Sir, you are cleared to entry and the invitation is valid but-"
"Y-yes, can you perhaps remove the thing behind your back?"
"But you just said it was allowed for the invited to bring a sword." I asked confused. The guy just said it and saw my invite was legit so why the extra trouble?
"I-it is sir," The third guard sweated, knowing who the guy in front of him was, "It's just… we need to confirm that whether what your carrying is really a sword or… not."
"So what your telling me is you don't trust my word then." The guy sweated ans tried to explain but I didn't want to hear them, "Alright, you are wasting my precious time, I will show you my sword but nothing more."
I take the sword by the handle and slowly bring it out and as the guards keep looking, their eyes get more and more wider, towards the end it was so wide that I was afraid of them popping out of their sockets.
"I-is that for real?"
"Gosh… I've never seen something so big."
"Mine's not even close to him, how can he handle so much?"
Murmurs rang out among the guards and even though I liked hearing those unnecessary praises, I could see other guests arriving so I quickly put the sword back in the sheath. They were somewhat dazed so I had to cough them out of it.
"Y-Yes… you can go, sir."
I don't take pleasure from their gazes on my back and walk inside. The first thing I saw was a big hallway which had two stairways and three doors. It wasn't as big as mine but it was pretty decent. Follow current novels on novel⁂fire.net
I could already see other people, nobility mostly mingling around and talking to each other as they roamed the mansion and searched for any small detail about it that they could complain about.
I walk out of the hallway and straight in the main room. It was largely spacious and looked like a ballroom. There were many round tables with white covers and chairs for the people.
There were a lot of people here, I could count mostly 50 or so. Most of the room were of young age. In such occasions, the party maybe about the viscount's birthday or similar, but most take it as an opportunity to mingle with the opposite gender and court them.
So that's why even if there were older man here, but not that many. They were mostly friends of the viscount or came here like me to make connections.
But that didn't stop some of the older guys from making a move on a younger girl. If they are rich enough then they had more chances than the young guys to actually bang her.
'Which reminds me I need to steer clear of those two rascal-'
'Speak of the devil and he shall come.'
I turn back and see two young people of my age coming to me. The one who called me came a little bit faster, "What took you so long, did you had trouble fitting into those clothes?" He said while touching my clothes but I slapped it away.
"Hey, fatty. What's the big deal?"
"Don't touch me like that."
"Ooh did the fatty finally get some courag-" He stopped and gulped as he saw the look in my eyes and knew that his next words could get ugly.
"Stop trying to make a fuss both of you." The last guy came, this one was a little bolder and a bit of a bully.
This two were my friends… well the former guy's friends. The first one, a lackey, is called Honzo, this guy was a bit of an idiot and listened to whoever was the richest or whoever was stronger than him.
The next guy was Gekko Revolvo. The leader of Hozno and me, this guy used to make do everything with these two guys and in return gave some sort of protection.
Between you and me, this guy was nothing compared to my real identity.
Officially, he was the son of a viscount so he was kinda higher up than both me and Honzo but unofficially I was richer and corruptible then he or his whole family tree, but the me of before didn't know that and just became his lackey when he asked… well not anymore.
Gekko looked at me and felt that there was a change. How did I know that? Because the next moment he opened his mouth, he didn't speak like an idiot who was about to be put three feet under.
"You guys should stop behaving like children, we are nobles you fucks."
I heard the final word but saw him intentionally not telling it to me and more to Honzo so I didn't say anything.
"But boss, this fatty thinks that-" The next moment, Honzo felt my large hand over his nape and the pressure from it immediately withdrew his words. Gekko might have noticed it if it were not for his lecherous gaze on the girls.
"Did you say something, Gonzo?"
"N-N-No… I didn't and it's Honz-" I inched closer to his ear and spoke.
"Did I say your name wrong... Gonzo."
"…no, you're absolutely right. My name's Gonzo, I might have misspelled it at birth." The guy said shamelessly and I let go of the cockroach as he messaged his back while complaining quietly.
Gekko looked at a few others before turning back, "Well, now as you know our original objective- Hmm… where's the fatty?"
"He went that way saying, 'I've got better ways to waste my LP.'" Honzo said.
"LP… what the fuck's that?" Gekko asked.
While they were looking for me, I was somewhere else, definitely not looking lecherously at the ladies. If I was going to waste my time with eye-candy then it better be alone than with those two idiots.
This night just got flatter.
