The Extra's Return

Chapter 18 Night Party

?It only took me a few minutes to reach the Warwick mansion.

When I was about to enter the mansion, another gatekeeper stopped me.

The two gatekeepers were soldiers belonging to the Warwick family, but they stopped their master's son from entering his house? Aren't they crazy?

Without further ado, I immediately beat them. After that, I opened the gate myself and walked into the mansion.

In the garden along the front yard of the mansion, I could see that there were already many horse-drawn carriages neatly lined up. The horse-drawn carriages are designed with various ornaments and sculptures that look beautiful.

The horse-drawn carriages that line up neatly in front of the mansion are the horse-drawn carriages of the party guests. I think.

When I entered the mansion, I could see that the maids were pacing around doing their various activities. Some prepare dishes, others arrange room decorations and other activities.

When they saw me, they ignored me and focused on their own business.

In the midst of everyone's frenzy, I accidentally ran into Gil, the poor servant. It seemed he had come to his senses after being poisoned by Baron Warwick.

He flinched when he saw me, looked away, and tried to run away. But I grabbed him by the shoulder, holding him back so he couldn't escape.

"Explain to me what's going on here."

I told Gil to tell me.

After that, I heard a story about the arrival of the majestic Jullian Arkie, namely by riding a Gryphon. Then there are also rumors that Willa will be engaged to Jullian.

After hearing Gil talk, I went to the bathroom to wash off the dirt, blood, and sweat that had stuck to my body.

After washing myself, I got dressed and left the bathroom. I walked along the hall of the mansion towards the banquet hall which was on the third floor. It was in the banquet hall that people had gathered for tonight's party.

"What should I do now?"

I thought hard while lowering my head. I thought about the engagement between Willa and Jullian.

Sometimes, confidence is absolutely necessary. The pessimistic and low self-esteem that used to take root in me must be slowly cleaned up.

So, what action should I take now? At the very least, something that I need and must do is stop the engagement between Jullian and Willa.

The problem was, if I did that, I would definitely become the enemy of the Arkie noble household.

However, I still need to do it. So now, I just have to figure out how to do it.

Unknowingly, when I was thinking hard about the matter, I was already at the door of the large banquet hall.

Crack!

When I opened the door to the banquet hall, I could see a majestic sight. The sight made me squint my eyes slightly. The reason was because of the dazzling light that entered my eyes.

The light that came from within the banquet hall came from several magic lamps hanging above the vast banquet hall.

The banquet hall was spacious. As my eyes crept into every nook and cranny of the banquet hall, I realized that there were a lot of people inside.

They were nobles with magnificent clothes. They were standing and chatting casually. Some were holding drinking glasses, some were eating a snack, and most of them were talking to each other.

Without paying attention to people for too long, I stepped into the banquet hall. Just at that moment, someone came up to me.

She is Willa.

Now she's wearing a pretty festive ball gown. She walked slowly, maintaining her dignity as the daughter of a noble.

"Brother, you have finally come. I originally thought that you were abandoned by that female demon."

Willa thumped her chest and sighed softly. Maybe feel relieved when you see me. Then she looked into my eyes with bright eyes and a slight smile.

I didn't pay much attention to Willa's gaze. I thought more about who the person she called a demon was.

Before I replied to Willa, there was one more person who came and approached me.

That person walked elegantly while holding a glass of alcoholic drink.

She placed her left hand that was not holding a drink under her large breasts, hugging her body tightly.  While her right-hand holds an alcoholic drink slightly raised.

She is Clarista.

Unlike the priestess robe she wore before, now she was wearing a ball gown. I don't know where she got the ball gown she's wearing now.

"Who are you calling a demoness?"

Clarista spoke to Willa. Her eyes were very sharp, like seeing a sworn enemy. Likewise with Willa, she looked back into Clarista's eyes.

I think I can see a flash of electricity in their eyes.

I wonder what happened between them. I could imagine that they were involved in a conflict I didn't know about.

'It seems that relationships between women are complicated.'

I can only sigh in my heart. With no other choice, I had to intervene with them.

But, when I was about to separate the two of them, I noticed that the gazes of the people around were looking at us.

Surprisingly, more eyes were staring at me. Maybe because I interacted with the two of them.

Though, when I entered the banquet hall, few people turned to look at me.  Most people are still busy with what they are doing.

But now, there are many eyes were on me. When I looked around more, I noticed that they were widening their eyes when they saw me.

Then people started to put what they were thinking through their mouths.

"Whose son is he?"

Such questions came out and flowed from the mouths of some to the ears of others. Until finally, such questions flowed into Baron Warwick's ears.

Why would I know? It was because I discovered that Baron Warwick was standing and talking in the middle of the banquet hall. He was surrounded by people, like a host who entertains guests.

I could see Baron Warwick's frowning expression. The instant Baron Warwick saw me, he immediately widened his eyes.

He must be surprised that I didn't suffer any injuries.

Then I walked over to Baron Warwick and left Willa and Clarista who were still fighting with their gazes on them.

Not too far away, just walking a few steps, I was already in front of Baron Warwick. Or, should I call him dad now?

I focused on seeing Baron Warwick's face. Seeing Baron Warwick's irritated face was comforting enough, I thought.

I suddenly recalled the memories of my previous life. Right at the party tonight, I was humiliated by Baron Warwick until then I was kicked out of this household.

But this time will be different.

I lifted the corners of my lips and asked Baron Warwick.

"Father, isn't this a good time to introduce me to the guests who have come?"

I said that with a bright smiling face, like sunlight shining on Baron Warwick's dark face.

But I was amazed by Baron Warwick's change of expression. He immediately smiled brightly, leaving behind the dark expression he previously had.

The instant I called Baron Warwick father, several people immediately raised their eyebrows. They were surprised by my identity.

I already guessed that. Not many people know who the Mesties are. I mean, this body I'm in. As far as I know, because Mesties has been locked away for too long, not many people know Mesties' face.

By the way, it's a bit weird when I say my own name as someone else's.
