The Heroine Love Interest

"I heard your twin is horrendous and evil, is that true?" Aeron's best friend, Jamil, asked him while holding a wine glass.

Aeron winced at what was in Jamil's hands. His head throbbed in pain, predicting what will happen when he gets wasted.

His alcoholic best friend will likely start a fight, again.

"Don't know, I never spent time with my family much"

"How sad. You have no one to blame but yourself, study-freak."

Aeron glared at his other friend

"Maximus, shut the fuck up." A dangerous smile was painted on his face.

"Isn't your sister late?" Another friend of his asked. He looked throughout the room expecting to see a female version of Aeron.

*click* *clack* *click*

The sound of her heels, along with the doors opening, caught everyone's attention

The air was filled with curious, frightened, and resentful eyes.

Yet, the girl just calmly entered the room, being indifferent to the audience's reactions.

"Huh…is it just me or is there something different about Lady Ainaira?" Someone from the murmuring crowd asked

"You mean she looks ugly in that dress? Yes!"

"No I mean…"

Image of Ainaira from the past and now flashes in her mind but the random noble lady didn't entertain the thought any further.

"Congratulations on your debut, Ainaira" Aeron greeted her with Jamil and their other friends at the back

She frowned when she saw her twin and Jamil's face.

Her hands slightly tremble from the trauma of her death.

She tries to acknowledge the congratulations, all while averting her eyes.

"..."

"Yes..Thanks."

"Congratulations!" Said the other two men behind the two.

"These are my friends" Aeron introduced them one by one :

"Jamil Heinzberg, you might already know him"

"Hello, my lady" He smiled at her.

Tan skin, black hair and violet eyes. It's rare to see someone with a Meru bloodline in the Ethereal empire.

It's one of the reasons why he is popular. Not only is he easy to get along with due to his relaxed demeanor and personality, his beauty is distinct from what you would normally see in the Empire.

In Ainaira's first life, Jamil received a lot of love letters and confession ranging from nobles to commoners.

Even so, Ainaira felt unsafe around him.

Her body is internally screaming for her to run away, and it wasn't because he is one of her killers.

Something about his gaze made her uncomfortable.

"Maximus Magus, he's a sorcerer, don't get involved with him. it's more trouble than what is worth" Aeron looked exhausted and done when mentioning Maximus.

Maximus has long gray hair, tied in a ponytail, and emerald green eyes.

"Don't listen to him, I'm a great person!" Maximus said playfully

Despite being a sorcerer, his body is well-built and he is actually well versed in hand-to-hand combat.

Ainaira felt chills. Just like Jamil, something about him feels disingenuous. His face and their voice sound friendly, but his eyes say something else.

She doesn't know what it is, but she is certain that Jamil and Maximus are not what everyone thinks.

"Lastly, Ryker Floyd…well, I'm sure you've heard of him."

Well, this pink bunny boy toy is unique.

He has short black hair, and light purple eyes, but that isn't what makes him unique.

"Congratulations again for your debut, Lady Ainaira. You are truly as beautiful as they say." Ryker courteously bowed at her.

"Yes…thank you Sir Ryker." She responds

Out of all these 4 future heroines' boytoys, Ryker is the only one who had a relatively normal life.The rest will have their names engraved into history.

Aeron, the Greatest Sword of the Empire.

Jamil, the Hero of the Empire.

Maximus, the most powerful Supreme Sorcerer of the Empire.

Compared to these 3 and the other 3 more boytoys, Ryker's achievement will be limited to taking over control over the empire business world.

(Now that I think about it, she should've chosen Ryker if she wanted a peaceful and uneventful life…)

Ainaira would often hear the heroine complain that she had to go through so many hurdles in life.

(Yet she chose the Crown Prince, a big responsibility…well, it is better than that mercenary guy…)

"We won't take up much of your time. I'm sure your fiance is waiting" Aeron looked at the man with golden hair and blue eyes walking towards them.

Seeing his figure, Ainaira wanted to kick, slap and run away from him.

It wasn't her brother's betrayal that hurt her. it was the Crown Prince's.
