The next day, I was standing in front of the mirror, looking at my current appearance. I was wearing a black suit, which contrasted with my hair. My face had a touch of makeup.
My current appearance was a package of cuteness with a hint of handsomeness. I was dressed up for the event coming up right now. After dressing me up, the palace maids led me to my family.
Getting there, I saw my family standing together. My mother was dressed in a conservative green dress with her hair tied in a bun with a hairpin. She appeared graceful and beautiful.
Next to her stood my elder sister Nora, who was similarly wearing a one-piece green dress with her shoulder exposed. Her hair was left to her back, giving a beautiful view. She stood tall and proud.
Next to her stood my little sister Elda, wearing a black one-piece dress. Her blob of short silver hair and her shy expression gave her a cute appearance.
When I arrived, they looked towards me. My mother smiled at me, while both of my sisters had a small blush on seeing me. Well, my appearance is a plus point in my current life after all.
“You look handsome, little Austin,” my mother said with a teasing smile, to which I responded with a smile.
“Bi-Big brother looks handsome!” Elda replied with a blush.
“You don’t look bad right now,” my elder sister responded.
“Thank you, all look beautiful too,” I replied with a smile, to which they all gave a smile back. After this, we headed towards the hall where the event would take place.
The hall was extremely huge, with several important guests within it. There was a huge table with food that cost beyond a normal noble house’s yearly earnings.
When we entered, several eyes turned towards us. After all, we are a dukedom, and my mother is the Emperor’s sister, so many paid attention to us.
All of us walked in with a proud and dignified aura. Even the usually shy Elda was walking with seriousness. After all, as a dukedom, we needed to show the bearing of one.
The eyes of several older and younger men lit up. My mother’s and sisters’ status and appearance attracted several of them.
Even though my mother was married, her beauty still hadn’t left her, so she was a fatal attraction to many. Even just getting together with my elder sister was very tempting.
But not only the guys, but several little girls also had their eyes scanning me up and down. My serious face attracted the little girls’ heartstrings, and my adorable appearance brought a twinkle to the older ones.
We entered inside and waited for the event to begin, during which several people came towards us to strike up a conversation. My mother was surrounded by several men, and we went to interact with the children.
I walked along with my little sister, and we went around talking to several others. Networking is important for a noble, but all the people I talked to were girls.
Several of them came towards me to strike up a conversation. I maintained a smile and conversed with them. In a matter of a few minutes, they were laughing and happily chatting with me.
As the atmosphere was getting lively, there was an announcement that the princess would be arriving soon.
The doors opened as the Emperor and the Empress entered together. Unlike when we met them before, right now, they are giving the pressure and standing of a ruler.
Following behind them were the princes. There were 3 of them and a little girl of 6 years old along with them. They came and stood behind the Emperor, waiting for the arrival of the star.
‘If I remember correctly, wasn’t there a fighting arc with the other princes in the game?’
‘Looks like I must stay away from these cousins of mine.’
Suddenly, there was a ringing of bells, and a girl of 10 years old entered. She was wearing a golden princess-style gown. She had blonde hair and blue eyes, aligning with a beautiful face.
She gave the feeling of authority and magnanimity, giving the feeling that people could not help but follow her. Her appearance took in the attention of every person in the hall.

‘As expected of one of the top 5 capture targets, her difficulty is indeed off the charts.’
While I was thinking, the ceremony started. Many procedures were done, and in the end, the princess gave a speech. After that, many people moved to meet and talk with her.
It’s not a secret that Olivia was born with the founding Emperor’s bloodline, so she was given a lot of respect by the people.
After some time, my family moved forward to give congrats. My mother moved forward to give some pleasantries while we congratulated Olivia.
“Congrats, cousin, you were great up there,” I moved to speak completely differently from how I do it normally. My way of speaking caught her by surprise, and she stared at me like some stranger.
“What happened, princess, can’t remember your cousin after not meeting him for a while?”
It was only when I spoke again did she responded. With a smile, she said, “No, no, it’s just that you changed a lot, Austin.”
“I know,” I puffed up my chest like I did something great. After that, we did some talk and moved on. Telling that I wanted to explore alone, I left my family to look around the castle.
While I was walking through the garden, I heard a crying sound, so I moved towards it. Reaching and hiding, I saw a group of boys surrounding and bullying a little girl.
“Little sister, I don’t even understand why you are even part of the family, with your face, it’s a disgrace.”
“Yeah, you should just leave.”
“That’s right, no one wants to see you.”
Following the first boy’s words, several others started shaming her. The girl just closed her eyes and took it all in.
Forcing on her, I used the read function.
