CHAPTER 7
"Ray, so you were right about that bad feeling, huh? Sorry, I didn't trust you from the start."
 Aiden, the magician's assistant who had followed Raymond for two years, felt regretful for having underestimated the master of the magic tower's uneasiness.
 "Never mind. If you are truly sorry, you better investigate this matter carefully. Don't let those devil followers have other flocks. Maybe there will be other devil followers who will come for revenge," shouted Raymond who was sitting in his desk chair.
 "Okay." Aiden didn't say much because he always received important assignments regarding investigations by the Magic Tower Leader.
 "By the way, how did you know there were devil followers in the hills south of Elston? Devil followers don't leave any traces when they commit crimes. How did you find the woman they kidnapped?" asked Aiden in surprise.
 "The woman they kidnapped turned out to be quite smart. She was taken in a conscious state and obeyed the words of the kidnappers. During the trip, she dropped a strand of her silver hair to give a trail of clues," explained Raymond.
 "Eh? Really?"
 Aiden was amazed, "how could that silver-haired woman think of herself as bait. Did she realize that someone would save her? What if you don't see the strands of her silver hair? Wouldn't her own life be in danger?"
 "Hmm... I don't know."
 Raymond also felt confused. That's what made him feel amazed at Lady Eustacio who he managed to save in a kidnapping.
 Feeling lucky to come at the right time before the followers of Satan make Lady Eustacio a sacrifice.
 So I remember back when his hands held Viviana Eustacio's body and carried her. The woman's sweet fragrance soothes the soul. Charming silver hair with a pretty face, as pretty as the flowers that bloom in a garden.
 Women with the most different looks. Because of his calm demeanor and wise authority. At the critical moment still be very calm. Even though in front of her eyes there was a threatening danger, but Lady Eustacio did not tremble or whimper in fear.
 Very different from other Lady-ladies in general. That made Raymond even more curious about Viviana Eustacio's figure.
 Aiden, who never got an answer from his confusion, was dumbfounded when he saw the leader of the Magic Tower smiling and thinking about something.
 He who was shocked gaped widely, “The Magic Tower Master who is known to be cold, is smiling?!”
 The rarest of immortal moments. Like a flower blooming amidst a snowy mountain. Aiden rubbed his eyes to make sure what he was seeing wasn't an illusion.
 'Viviana Eustacio, we will definitely meet again.'
 'Actually why is Ray smiling, huh? Did he get love magic? No, no way! But it is possible. Hopefully the person who cast love magic on the leader of this magic tower can stay safe,' hoped Aiden in his mind.
"Do you know what that Lady Eustacio looks like?"
 "Hmmm ... I don't know. So far, no one has ever seen the real face of Lady Eustacio, have they?"
 "Yes. Apart from the rumor that Lady Eustacio has silver hair, since then nothing has been heard about Lady Eustacio's likeness."
 "The Eustacio family keeps Lady Eustacio a secret. Is it possible that Lady Eustacio has an ugly face, huh?"
 "Sstthh! That's impossible!"
 "I don't know if it's true. If no one has ever seen her, if Lady Eustacio is beautiful, no one will know whether Lady Eustacio is real or not. It could be that the Eustacio family is keeping it a secret and shutting down all the mouths of the workers in this Mansion so that no one speaking of Lady Eustacio."
 "You have a point too."
 Of course, it is not surprising that there are rumors like this circulating. It's not just one or two people talking about it. Most of the guests also talked about the possibility of deception by the Eustacio Family about their Lady of the Family.
 "Lady Viviana Eustacio has arrived!"
 The welcoming sound of the guards outside the banquet hall. Everyone started to set their eyes on the entrance that the star of today's party would soon pass through.
 Krieet...
 A pair of large doors had been opened wide. A woman appeared in a pink dress and long, wavy silver hair.
 The golden colored pupils of the Eustacio Family. Everyone could see her as Lady Eustacio started walking into the ballroom.
 The guests gave way in the middle for the main star to the very front. There, the Head of the Eustacio family, Marquess Lucas Eustacio was already there waiting for his daughter to arrive.
 Viviana who walked gracefully past everyone didn't have a smile on her lips at all. However, he still tries to look perfect so that his image as Lady Eustacio doesn't get worse.
 Lucas Eustacio held out his left hand. Although reluctant but Viviana could not show her disharmony with her father in front of the nobles.
 What's more, her father had previously warned her to behave as if Viviana was the daughter that Marquess Eustacio really loved. Viviana had no other choice but to accept it.
 Viviana grabbed her father's left hand. Even though it was difficult, Viviana tried to smile as natural as possible. Unlike Marquess Eustacio who easily acted very sweet to his daughter in front of people, as if he had never committed any crime to Viviana, this only daughter.
 "Let me introduce you all! The daughter I love the most. Lady Eustacio! Viviana Eustacio!"
 Prok prok prok...
 Everyone applauded enthusiastically. Viviana gave a respectful greeting. She lifted her skirt a little and bowed.
 "My dear daughter, I wish you a happy birthday," said Lucas Eustacio.
 "Thank you very much, Father." Viviana bowed again towards Marquess Eustacio, that is, her own biological father.
 'This damn daughter! If it weren't for getting on good terms in front of all the nobles, I wouldn't want to get anywhere near this accursed child. The curse might also spread to me.'
