Chapter 2-Party
As he was collecting his thoughts, he heard a voice calling for him below.
"Young master, everyone is waiting for you in the mansion. Your father said you must prepare yourself now."
Dwight looked at the source of the voice and saw that it was Tessa.
She was his personal maid and had been with him since they were kids.
Her family had served Dwight's family for many generations and were loyal to them.
Tessa had long brown hair and blue eyes.
She was 5'6" tall and her body was alluring in her maid uniform.
If she wasn't a maid, many would think she was a daughter of a prominent clan or royalty because she was so beautiful.
Dwight treated her like a friend since she was always with him, and she was the only one who dared to argue with him.
His parents and other siblings didn't reprimand him because he was the youngest and the most loved in the family.
His two brothers already had their own families and were helping to manage the clan.
He also had an older sister who spoiled him the most.
She was known for being fierce, having beaten many men who tried to court her.
She was a top beauty, so many tried to woo her, but they always went back home full of bruises and wounds.
Dwight smiled as he jumped down from the tree and landed smoothly on the ground.
His every move felt like he was a celestial coming down to the mortal world, and Tessa couldn't help but blush.
She didn't expect Dwight to have such moves since he was well-known for being lazy and unmotivated.
He never practiced or tried to learn martial arts, preferring to laze around.
His low power and laziness didn't stop his admirers.
Many princesses and daughters of prominent clans fancied him and even tried to propose marriage to his family.
Even so, he never entertained any of them as he was always inside the mansion.
...
Dwight went near Tessa and pinched her red cheeks as he replied, "Why the rush? Let them wait, hehe."
Dwight laughed as he liked to tease Tessa, and she was used to his actions.
Dwight knew that Tessa liked him, but she didn't dare cross the line, thinking she wasn't qualified to be with him.
Tessa replied, "I am not joking with you. Your father and the guests are already waiting for you."
She retorted, but Dwight hugged her waist and said, "Yes, but you will also come with me."
He smiled as they went to prepare themselves, ignoring the blushing Tessa.
....
Inside the Starlight Mansion, many important figures from various places were there to celebrate Dwight's birthday.
Everyone knew they didn't care about his birthday; they had their own goals and agendas.
Some were trying to form new connections, as it was rare for them to gather in one place.
Dwight's father, David, was entertaining the guests, and everyone was respectful to him.
He was handsome with short black hair.
He was 6 feet tall, and his body radiated the aura of a 9-star swordsman.
He was very charming and always wore a confident smile when talking with the guests.
People could choose their own path based on their skills or what they inherited from their family.
There were many classes, with the most common being mage and warrior.
The swordsman class was a difficult path because it required an understanding of sword techniques.
Some people took the path of two classes, but experts recommended sticking to one because it was difficult to become an expert in multiple paths.
David had many connections and many expert friends all over the world.
David was known as one of the top swordsmen in this world, having reached the peak of being a swordsman.
Suddenly, a voice asked David, "Where is my nephew, David? I didn't see him here."
David looked at the source of the voice and recognized his martial brother.
They were not related by blood, but they had experienced many adventures and hardships together, treating each other as siblings.
His name was Lucas Kraig, and he was a 9-star warrior.
He was the same height as David and had shiny blue hair. He had a small scar on his cheek, and his body was muscular.
He needed to be muscular because he was a warrior who was good at physical attacks.
He was also the leader of the Kraig Clan, one of the top clans.
Their clan was a bit weaker than the Starlight Clan, but no one dared to underestimate them because of Lucas's connection with David.
David sighed and replied, "You know, he still hasn't changed. He's as lazy as ever and lacks motivation. When I asked him why, he said, 'Everyone will still die in the end, so why not live the life you like and not make it hard?'"
Lucas patted his shoulder and said, "He has a point, but he's still a teenager and needs to experience life and face hardships. Let him enjoy his life while he's still young."
David nodded and then asked, "Where is my niece? Didn't she come with you?"
Lucas smiled and replied, "She's with her friends, waiting at the gate for her other peers."
David nodded and led Lucas to introduce him to his other friends.
.....
As everyone was talking and minding their own business, they suddenly heard footsteps.
Everyone looked at the newcomers and recognized them.
"Look! It's the Emperor of the Fire Empire, and behind him are the Empress and the Princess."
One of them said this as everyone stared at them. Many greeted them to gain their favor.
Some attended just to gain favors from powerful people, knowing that a favor could change their lives and status.
The emperor's name was Alfred, and he had red hair that reached his shoulders.
He was the same height as David, and he was a 9-star mage.
He was also a handsome middle-aged man and wore a red robe with the royal family's insignia.
As his empire's name suggested, he was a fire-type mage.
His wife, Selena, had white hair that reached her waist and was 5'4" tall.
She had white eyes and had been a top beauty when she was younger.
The Empress and the Emperor were interacting with everyone, but the princess's face showed she was not happy.
She looked irritated, and everyone could see she didn't want to be there.
Her name was Lilia, and she also had long red hair.
Her beauty was on par with her mother's. She had green eyes and was 5'6" tall.
She was known as a genius, having reached the top tier of a 2-star mage at just 16 years old.
No one knew the reason, but she was angry with Dwight because her older sister was obsessed with him, but he never gave her any attention.
Her sister always talked about him and even had a picture of him in her room.
She admitted he was handsome, but she didn't like him because he was an unmotivated and lazy man who only relied on his parents' power.
She didn't want to come, but she had no choice because her parents commanded her to join them.
