Chapter 75: Clara's feeling
"Princess! Augusta clan Princess?"
"What did it have to do with me and my food?" Kritos anxiously said
Watching his brother still eating food, Sanju shook his head.
"At least clearly listen to my word, I said Star Kingdom princess not my princ-ahem! Augusta clan princess."
After listening to the words of his brother, Kritos glanced at his brother and let out," Ohh! So, she was the important guest of this birthday banquet and will be judged in the Challenger league. Right?"
Sanju nodded his head.
"Ok, let's see her. I heard she has broken through the Foundation Mage realm at the age of 16 years." A hint of jealousy appears on Kritos face.
"Hmm,"
"Moreover, She had awakened a humanoid soul beast. It is said that humanoid soul beasts are generally stronger than the other soul beasts."
Kritos thought for a bit, and then asked," What about formless soul beasts? A soul beast who doesn't have any body."
"Formless soul beast!! I never heard about this. Don't tell me that your soul beast doesn't have a body." Sanju confusedly inquired
"Nah, I was just asking. Elder brother you will able to see my soul beast in the challenger League." Kritos said with a smile
While they were talking, many youths of different clans were occasionally coming to the banquet.
These people were all youngsters and famous geniuses.
Laughter and gossip about the important guest filled the air, creating a lively atmosphere.
Many were still talking about the late one. Most of them don't entirely believe that a son of a villager is a late one. Besides, the late one cultivator had already become a legend which could be seen in only story tales.
How can the mentality of the public be easily changed? Even though Captain Mitchell directly said, they don't entirely believe his words.
As the late ones have the potential to become the strongest cultivator in the Sincromas world. People couldn't think that a peerless genius is just an ordinary boy who just started cultivation.
Maybe if the prince or princess of the Kingdom was late one. Most people believe it.
However, a few people glanced at Kritos. After all, those who had come to the banquet were all cultivators. They wanted to compare themself with the so-called Late one.
However, upon seeing that Kritos was only a Rank 1 Apprentice, many people turned away.
Groups of people would occasionally arrive in the hall and greet familiar faces.
Right at that moment, another group arrived in the hall. There were four young men and women, who were all impressive-looking and had strong auras.
Kritos whipped his head around and immediately narrowed his eyes. Among these four youths was Manvi, who had been slapped by him previously. Although after that she almost killed him.
Vishwa Manvi arrived at the grounds and scanned the crowd with her eyes. He immediately spotted Kritos and Sanju and they stared fiercely at each other.
A dark look crossed Manvi's face. The news about how she had been slapped by a villager in front of her clan members was already spread in the city.
In just one day, she had turned into the joke of the city and she could hear gossip about her everywhere she went.
Most People don't give importance to the incident which happened after the Slap. Nobody cares about high-class people killing low-class people. It is not big deal news where a young master or miss almost killed a commoner. However, slapping a young miss of any clan in front of their clan members was a glorious event.
Moreover, they had given Golden hair for compassion.
Due to Humiliation and anger, the killing intent arises from her body. She fiercely stared at Kritos. Now, she just wanted the wash humiliation even if it cost angering his brother and clan.
Her heart boiled with rage the moment her eyes met Kritos's. As raging fires boiled in her, the killing intent emerges on her body.
Manvi wanted the support of her family to deal with Kritos. However, she was unable to do so.
Firstly, the Vishwa clan disagreed with her request. After all, still, Kritos was the grandson of Dwivedi Clan's head.
On the other hand, Kritos has a calm look on his face. However, it wasn't the case for Sanju, who was furiously staring at Vishwa Martis.
However, Suddenly they heard the voice of people.
At this time, Clara Augusta came out from the inner hall.
Today, her face was slightly powdered and looked perfect and delicate, wearing an azure blue dress that revealed her fair and tender arms and two broken calves like lotus root.
As soon as she appeared on stage, she attracted the attention of everyone present.
This was Augusta clan head's daughter, a little princess.
For today's birthday banquet, most of the clans had brought their best youths with them, and they all had a plan in mind, which was to have the young talents in their families find a way to get close to Clara Augusta and win her heart.
If they could marry Clara, it would truly be a glorious day for their ancestors! It would be a great help to the whole Clan!
Clara was destined to become a peerless cultivator after she became the disciple of sect master of a sect. Her future potential is higher than any youth from Rewa city.
Everyone's attention was on Clara Augusta, who was anxiously searching for another person in the crowd.
She moved her around the crowd but couldn't spot the person who she was searching for. Nonetheless, she kept searching.
On the other hand, Sanju's mouth remained open after seeing Clara. He saw her after two years.
'She didn't change. She looks exactly the same even after two years.' Sanju thought
While all of the people were congratulating Clara, Kritos decided to finish his last meal.
It was Kritos motto," one cannot think well, love well, sleep well if one has not eaten well."
Thud!!
"What's brother? Why you hit me?" Kritos asked after Sanju hit him in the head.
"Glutton, when everyone is congratulating her. You are determined to eat food. Where is your shame? What people think if they saw you eating?" After saying that Sanju silently said," What Clara will think?"
Kritos remains silent and then glanced at the crowd. Kritos has been long scripted the answer to this question.
" Brother, I don't bother what other people think of me as long as I believe I haven't done any wrong to them"
After all, why should we live our lives bothered by what others would think of us?? That just stops us from being the real person we are !! if a person judges you for being who you really are then it's high time the person exits your life.
After hearing his nonsense excuse, Sanju ignored him. It was the third time, Sanju heard his speech in defense of food.
Finally, Clara found the person she was searching for. He was sitting on the last row where food was arranged for the guests.
She stares at Sanju for a bit, thinking he would do the same. Unexpected Sanju was talking to a boy.
Many people congratulate her but she was waiting for a special person.
***Clara POV****
"Is he forgot about me in these two years? But he promised me."
As I again peeked at him, I saw his beautiful eyes. He was now staring at me. In reply, I just move my head on the other side. I can't face him directly.
In those two years in the sect, I feel the love he felt for me.
Before I wanted to reach the pinnacle of cultivation but now I wanted to live with him. It will be my pinnacle of life.
In childhood, he once proposes to me in an awkward place. Like who proposes someone in front of his parents. In the awkward situation I just directly said no.
Afterward, I saw him many times watching me from afar. I wanted to talk to him but he always ran away after noticing me moving towards him.
Moreover, with time my brother starts hating Sanju. They ended up their childhood friendship due to some unknown event.
Now, I only want to talk to him and express my feelings for him.
***Normal PoV***
"Hey brother, I think she was looking at me. What do you think?" Sanju asked
"Elder brother, can't you see how she ignored you after you looked at her. She may be checking your strength after all everything will decide through dual." Kritos replied
"Huh! You don't understand love. She just becomes shy after I looked at him." Sanju said in defense.
"Whatever,"
"Let's greet Clara and congratulate her on her birthday."
