The ones who came to me were Princess Venessa Albrecht and her 5 personal maids with a young brown hair handsome man who looked slightly older than us followed by a girl who i don't think I have seen before.
"It's been a long time Alex"
Venessa came to me and spoke lightly, this is the engagement of the son of a duke and most importantly one who has a relationship with a financial behemoth like Crown Industries, it sure needs presence of royal family so i think not only princess but crown prince and other royals will also be attending this function, and the man beside her i have guessed his identity he must be her secret fiancee and heir of Harvey family.
Vincent Harvey, i didn't get up but my cousins did as we all know each other since childhood but yes in public we shall show our respect to the royal family and as for me i am founder and chairman of Crown Group i don't need to follow the same as i also represent the crown group which is now become a power above any country.
"It has indeed been a long time for your highness and who might be"
I didn't waste any time in chat and come straight to the point, and princess too was embarrassed she knows from childhood that i hate being meeting someone whom i don't know and mine antisocial habits but I think her family forced her to introduce to me, i calmly looked at her and at same time looked at Vincent's face which twitched from corners of his mouth and girl who followed had an ugly look on her face.
Vincent's personality is what you can say hypocritical he looks like a nice guy but is very selfish and has no talents, being son of the former biggest conglomerate in Arcania he has gotten quite a bit of a temper and the girl who followed him is his secretary Ashley, Vincent and Ashley grew up together and even though Vincent doesn't have a good talent he likes to pretend and make Ashley fall in love with him. Ashley is a complete yandere for Vincent and hates anyone talking in disrespect about him.
"Hello Mr.Alexander Wright, my name is Vincent Harvey from the Harvey Family"
While saying Harvey Family he spoke with a proud tone.
"Harvey?"
Acting confused i looked over Jessica for help for which Steve and princess' five maids couldn't control their laughter and Venessa face got more red in colour due to embarrassment and Vincent's and Ashley's didn't seem to look good.
I looked over them in confusion and continued to feign ignorance till Jessica finally told me and just looked over Vincent with a playful look.
He clearly didn't have a good face now but then also putting that aside he talked about cooperation between our both companies, Vincent had just completed his studies and wanted to start his new company before handling the family business, for this he chose to start a gaming guild in Races Online and it goes well and now is strongest guild of Arcania, he is also a villain Leo faces after he and Venessa falls in love though his appearance in novel was pretty late but I can't expect to things goes the way it was in the novel can i. Throughout the talk he tried to propose different topics for cooperation but i declined all of them and ridiculed him and at the end his face was completely red and Ashley was emitting killing intent towards me which i didn't mind and they both left and everyone including Venessa laughed out loud while looking over them.
We all talked a lot all of us 8 grew up together and hadn't been in contact with each other, A few brave people came to us for a toast but i declined everyone and we all got busy in our chat. Soon the engagement started and Leo and his fiancee Stephanie both exchanged the rings which surprised me as Stephanie is a proud girl she may be 2 years older than Leo but always despised him until he showed how good he is. She should have made a nuisance as she only likes strong men with capabilities and thus breaks off this engagement but since the presence of the royal family and other big people in the event she held back but you can see if you are good at reading people her smile is fake with displeasure clearly in her eyes and Leo too smile but unlike before he has depressing atmosphere around him.
Later we had a family dinner together and Emma told what happened it seems like in the novel she had assumed it to be me but when she found out it was Leo she wanted to break the marriage off and mocked Leo she isn't actually bad but with a person with capabilities and ambition. She is just 20 and started her own cosmetic company and owns an all female guild in Races Online and is quite capable. After her parents request she agreed on engagement as it is a Duke's house and the royal family too is present but signed a contract that in 1 year they don't have any feelings for each other they will break off this marriage. After dinner we all spent family time and Leo and Leo got better with each other and left after staying for two days.
