"T-This is.. an invitation?" exclaimed the two brothers.
"Brother, this is awesome. You need to accept this invitation. It's an honor to get an invitation from the royal family to come to their tea party." said Vergil excitedly.
While Vergil kept chattering excitedly, 'Haa… she got me good. Damn, it seems I didn't have any choice this time. Hopefully, she didn't ask for troublesome things.' Thought Angus inwardly.
The next day, Angus wears a formal noble attire with a lot of embroideries and looks very presentable.
'Damn.. you, Vergil. Even when I attend the noble's gathering before the clothes are not as horrible as this.' thought Angus silently while feeling uncomfortable with his clothes.
Suddenly, Angus thought disturbed by his brother Vergil, "Angus… Did you hear what I said?"
"Yeah-yeah… keep speaking the formal language and playing with some noble's kid right?" replied Angus lazily
"No.. What I mean is… Haa… forget about it. Just make sure to not tarnish our house Victory name, okay? The other nobles sometimes could be a little bit harsh despite us being still young."
"Alright-alright… I will go first. See ya brother." as Angus goes inside the carriage.
After a few minutes of riding the carriage, Angus arrived at the majestic royal palace. Looking at the humongous building that is much bigger than Hagia Sophia on Earth, Angus mood immediately down.
'Why the hell do they build such a ridiculous building? Are all the residents' giants? Or do they just use giants as a scale model when they build it? Such a waste of resources. Well, not that it matters to me.' Grumble Angus inwardly.
Then, the carriage finally stopped inside the royal palace. The moment he walked out from the carriage, "Young master Victory, please follow me. The tea party has already started."
Hearing this, 'Started already? Didn't I still have half an hour before it began? Must be that spoiled princess idea.' Thought Angus inwardly while following the butler.
After walking for a few minutes, Angus arrived at the huge garden. In the middle of the garden, there are already few nobles gathering around Princess Jayna.
She didn't use her normal noble attire but a light blue long dress that matched her golden hair. Despite still being a kid, she extruded a unique charm towards the surrounding.

At this moment Angus thought, 'Like a jewel surrounded by mud.'
Suddenly his thought is disturbed, "Everyone, our special guest finally arrives. Please welcome him, the third son of Duke Victory, Angus Victory." Said the princess as everyone finally noticed Angus's arrival.
All the other noble kids, immediately whispering about Angus's lateness. Noble society sometimes could be very strict and cruel. Just because of one lateness, you will have gossiped around.
"To arrive this late…"
"Look at his attire, he must be using a lot of time to…"
"How dare he make the princess wait…"
"Victory… He seems, unlike the other two brothers…"
"Must be a concubine or bastard child…"
Using Angus's enhanced perception, Angus keeps hearing the other kid badmouthing him. Angus only looks nonchalantly towards the other's command and keeps looking at the blue dresses Princess who is smiling triumphantly.
After that, he looks at the surroundings and stops a few seconds later at the place where the guards are hiding.
After taking a deep breath, "Good day, everyone. Forgive me for my lateness. I hope I didn't interrupt your party." said Angus politely while giving a noble gesture.
After he said that, Angus walked toward the food table and served himself a cup of tea while ignoring the others, even the princess.
Looking at this, "Oi… Buffon!! Did you not understand a basic noble etiquette? How dare you, ignoring the 4th Princess as the party host?" said one of the kids in blue hair.
But Angus keeps ignoring him. "Tch.. What a Victory?? You must be whore's son that doesn't even know noble etiquette. why don't you…"
Before the kid finished his sentence, a short teaspoon passed near his head even before he could react. The teaspoon embedded deeply at the nearby tree. Everyone immediately stays silent and looks at the preparator Angus.
"Ahh… I am sorry. It slipped out of my hand. I hope everyone can forgive my blunder. Please continue with what you're doing. I may not do it again" said Angus with a smile that looks like a devil.
The surrounding atmosphere begins to tense and everyone stops talking to one another. After a while, "How dare you.." the blue-haired kid yelling at Angus again.
But before he could finish his sentence another teaspoon passed him again like before and make him have a cold sweat. Once again the teaspoon is embedded in the nearby tree like the previous one.

"My… My… It seems my hand is slippery." said Angus with a smile.
Hearing this the blue-haired boy wanted to reply, "You…"
"Owen!!" [Princess Jayna]
"Y-Yes, princess?" replied the blue-haired boy timidly.
"Forget about it." said the princess in a stern tone.
"B-But... " [Owen]
"I said forget about it!!" shouted the princess.
"A-Alright…" while he still glaring at Angus.
At this moment, "Ohh.. why to stop now? We still didn't hear what you said before. Please say it. Maybe this time, my hand will not 'slipped'" provoked Angus while he played the tablespoon in his hand.
"Y-You!!" [Owen]
Once again Angus throws the teaspoon near Owen's head and makes him quiet. Looking at the more tense atmosphere, the other hidden guard is even ready to come out from their hiding place.
"Ahh… why are all of you so serious? My hand is slippery now." As he throws a faster spoon without the other kid noticing towards the nearby hiding guard nearby.
This action makes all the hiding guards come out from their hiding place and arrive at the front of the Princess with vigilance towards the kid in front of them.
"Princess let's get out from here. That kid is dangerous." said one of the shadow guards.
"Eh.. Eh.. What??" said the princess.
The other guards keep looking at Angus's nonchalant attitude. As for the other kids, they are confused at the sudden appearance of the hidden guard.
At this moment a clapping sound is heard from the garden entrance, *Clap* "4th Princess, I think the time for the tea party is already over. May everyone goes back to their home." said the old butler.
Looking at this, Angus immediately the one that walked out slowly from the garden. Arriving at the near old butler, "Young Master Victory, allow me to lead the way."
"Please, by all means..." replied Angus lazily.
Soon, both of them get out of everyone's sight. "Everyone, I am sorry but the party is over." while the princess also gets out from the garden while being escorted by her maid.
'Angus… Just what happens to make all the hidden guards react? Even Darius needs to come out.' thought the princess confusedly.
Meanwhile, Angus and the head butler Darius keep walking silently. Looking at the silent old butler, "Stop pretending, old man. Just say what do you want exactly?" asked Angus while he stops walking.
"Pardon me, young master Victory. I don't understand what you mean?" asked the old butler back.
"*Sigh* We are not going towards where my carriage left me before right? So, just tell me what you want?" [Angus]
"Ohh.. as expected of the young master Victory to notice this. If it is not bothering you, Did you want to accompany this old man for a small talk?" [Darius]
"Haa… What choice did I have? But, before that. What will you do if your mother is being insulted in front of everyone?" asked Angus seriously.
"I see…. So that's the reason." [Darius]
"Yep, and you still haven't answered my question." [Angus]
"Well, as a butler my opinion is insignificant. But, if my mother was ever being insulted, I beat the insulter to death with my hand. Is my answer satisfied?" said Darius politely
"That's already enough. So, what do you want to talk about?" asked Angus.
"What do you think of the 4th princess?" asked Darius back.
"Jayna? Well, I just think she is a spoiled princess and quite… energetic one," replied Angus
"Really? Is that all?" [Darius]
"Yep, what else you want me to say. A lovely girl.. Pft.. that seems impossible character for Jayna. But, let's just say she is not a boring person but also quite troublesome. Oh yeah, is stalking others also the job of a butler?" Said Angus jokingly.
Surprised by Angus's question, "Young Master Victory is quite perceptive. But, no I am not a stalker. It is just my job to look after a mouse that could pass all the guard during the last noble's gathering.." replied the old butler with a smile and make the situation tense.
"Haa… Why I have some trouble with an old man? First father, the old dwarf now you old butler. Did I got curse?" grumble Angus jokingly.
Looking at Angus's lack of reaction, "I see… Young master Victory, it seems you are quite a special person."
"Yeah… And I hope you could keep silent about that."
