18 Daniel's Glance ( Edited )
Certainly, here's the continuation of the text with corrected grammar and readability improvements:
Daniel naturally noticed that Elena was we. He was well aware of her fetish, which she usually kept hidden. Elena, despite her dominant demeanor, had always desired a partner more dominant than herself. However, she lost that chance due to the arranged marriage contract between the Belfort and Schneitz families.
She had concealed this fetish deep within her heart, but seeing Daniel, a profoundly dominant and intimidating individual, had rekindled it.
Elena's face flushed, and she couldn't hide her embarrassment any longer. Jordan hung his head, avoiding eye contact with Daniel, whose gaze felt like an endless abyss.
In contrast, Steven was delighted. Daniel had essentially indicated that he favored him over Alex. With Daniel's support, even if Alex had the backing of all the attending princes and princesses, he would have no chance of becoming the Schneitz family's heir.
Daniel, as the Crown Prince of the Paradise Empire, held considerable influence. If he were dissatisfied with the future leader of the Schneitz family, it would spell trouble for the family's business relationships. No matter how much of a genius Alex might be, he couldn't compete with the power of a prominent empire.
Unless, of course, he possessed a unique advantage, such as being a world child.
"Announcing the arrival of the imperial princesses and the princesses and prince of the Schneitz family," a voice echoed in the hall. All eyes turned to the entrance.
Four exceptionally beautiful girls and a boy stood in the doorway.
The girl at the forefront had long golden hair and brown eyes. She wore flower-shaped earrings, a necklace adorned with rubies and stars, and a small crown perched on her head. Her fair, soft skin radiated a natural charm.
She donned a long blue dress with gold embroidery that accentuated her long legs, shapely thighs, and ample bosom, reminiscent of Elena's figure.
Her curvaceous rear was particularly eye-catching, and she stood at a height of 170 cm, enhanced by golden high-heeled shoes. She was Luna Schneitz, the youngest daughter of the Schneitz family, celebrating her sixteenth birthday. An early magic warrior, she was considered a genius.
Beside her was her sister, a striking beauty with long white hair, brown eyes, and seductive features. Her face was as enticing as her mother and sister's, with soft, blood-red lips.
She wore a heart-shaped golden necklace and earring, and her skin was even fairer than her sister's. Draped in a wedding-like white dress that showcased her shapely, ample breasts, she sported white tights that accentuated her long legs and voluptuous thighs. With her height of 175 cm, further boosted by high heels, she stood at 178 cm. Though her derriere wasn't as ample as her mother's or sister's, it could still be considered above average, and her hips were wonderfully curved.
She was Lydia Schneitz, the eldest daughter at 18 years old and a middle magic master, renowned as a genius.
Next to them were two girls, their faces equally beautiful and captivating, with long hair and purple eyes. They wore purple formal dresses that concealed their lovely legs, though hints of their well-shaped, medium-sized breasts were visible.
Standing at 171 cm in height, their footwear brought them to 173 cm. Notably, their derrieres were well-formed, ample, and round, surpassing Luna's. They were Elsa and Elsana, the twin princesses of the Yang Empire, acclaimed as the Purple Goddesses. Despite being just sixteen, they had already reached the peak of the Sword Warrior realm.
Finally, the boy standing behind them had a rather ordinary appearance, with golden hair and black eyes. Of average height for his age, he measured 173 cm. His physique was neither muscular nor particularly noteworthy, and he wore a royal blue suit.
He was Alex Schneitz, the Schneitz family's illegitimate son and the focal point of our story—the fated child. A business genius at sixteen, he was well-known throughout the Laden region.
As they entered, all eyes turned toward them. The attending princes admired the beauty of the Schneitz family princesses and the twin princesses, while several princesses in the hall envied their stunning appearance.
Simultaneously, their gaze landed on Alex, who stood behind them. However, their expressions reflected disgust and hostility, quickly shifting back to the princesses.
The Schneitz family princesses and twin goddesses couldn't help but notice the revulsion directed at Alex. They were taken aback, unable to comprehend the tense atmosphere in the hall and the resentment aimed at him.
Eva also noticed Alex's inappropriate gaze, but she paid it no mind. She knew her brother would handle it, and indeed, Daniel did. Along the way, several people had attempted to approach her inappropriately, but Daniel's intimidating presence swiftly dissuaded them.
"Thank you, brother," Eva said with a smile as Daniel handed her candy in front of the crowd. Daniel patted her head in response, wordlessly acknowledging her gratitude.
The romantic scene left all the princesses in the hall feeling a twinge of jealousy. Elena, too, experienced a pang of envy and sadness as she saw Daniel's affectionate gesture towards his sister, diverting his attention away from her.
Elena remembered her daughters and Alex's arrival, and with a forced smile, she and Jordan rose from their seats to greet their children.
The four girls, who no longer felt Daniel's intimidating presence, breathed sighs of relief. It appeared that Daniel wasn't angered by their earlier actions.
Nonetheless, they remained perplexed by the palpable tension in the hall and the hostile glances directed at Alex.
Alex, on the other hand, hadn't noticed the resentment aimed at him. Upon entering the hall and seeing the attending princes and princesses, he resolved to secure their support.
He asked in his mind, "What's the likelihood of gaining the support of all of them?"
The response came swiftly: "11%."
Alex was taken aback. Earlier, he had checked the probability of winning the support of the attending princes and princesses, and it had been at 93%. What had transpired to reduce it to a mere 11%?
Surveying the hall, Alex suddenly noticed a remarkably handsome boy and an incredibly beautiful girl. He had never encountered such striking individuals, particularly the boy, whose handsomeness was unparalleled.
He wondered, "What's the chance of her falling in love with me?"
The response was stark: "0%."
This revelation startled Alex even more. He had already assessed the likelihood of winning over his father's wife, and it had been 23%. But this girl had a 0% chance?
Before he could ask another question, a shiver coursed through his body, and he realized that two golden eyes were fixed on him.
Terrified, he couldn't even swallow his saliva as cold sweat trickled down his forehead. He stood frozen in place.
Elsa, Elsana, Luna, and Lydia sensed Alex's lecherous gaze. They knew about his perverted tendencies, as he had often ogled them in secret. However, this time, he had crossed a line.
They also noticed the intense killing intent that suddenly enveloped the hall.
Eva, too, observed Alex's inappropriate look but remained unfazed. She trusted her brother to handle it, and handle it he did. On their way to the hall, a few individuals had attempted to harass her, but Daniel's imposing presence had swiftly put an end to it.
Daniel naturally does not like someone looking at his women with lust, especially if that person is fate's child, although he wanted to teach Alex a better lesson suddenly his next mission appeared and he withdrew his killing intent.
Then, unexpectedly, a new mission appeared.
[New mission]
[Mission Title: Eliminate or completely dominate Alex, the *Reader of Possibilities*.
[Rewards: A fragment of the Law Bone, Death Gate Technique, Asura Sword Technique, Seven Transcendence Sword Bones, System Upgrade]
[Punishment: Your demise.]
Daniel's thoughts raced as he processed the mission details. "Death? Are you kidding me?"
