I continued to twist my body to get out of the cables. It was very unfortunate that things from a technological advanced district were unbreakable. They could market their durability rather than their other features to use as weapons in the future. I was sure even monsters could die from them.

My eyes slightly widened when some of the decorations started to crash towards the ground. It looked like he didn't have the power to keep the spell for a long period of time. Losing the strength in the rest of my body, I fell towards the ground. Luke kept his eye on me walking a few steps back and forth as he followed where the wind took me.

My body slumped as it somehow managed to safely land in his arms. It was a very close call. I now had two people to look over instead of one. Both were equally as dangerous and could be comparable to the s-class monsters. And it appeared I was the target for one of them.

"Can you check the guest list?" Luke asked Jules when we were near the entrance.

Jules frantically searched for the guest list inside his marble while both Shelly and Alex returned to the banquet hall to calm down the rest of the guests. It was clear that Luke wasn't feeling lenient towards Jules anymore. Jules was main owner of the mansion and the main host of this event. He was supposed to know everything and everyone that went in and out his family's mansion.

"I don't want to go inside," I shook my head.

This mansion was one of the most dangerous places I have been inside. Who knew what would happen the longer I stayed? I shivered from the thought from him suddenly appearing in front of me again. He was obviously crazily in love with Ella, blind to her faults.

"Only a few more hours Rika," Luke's voice softened.

"Do you know who it could be on the list?" He turned to ask Jules.

"I don't know. I think I have to search through the directory," Jules carefully looked towards Luke.

"Can I leave without you?" I suggested.

Unfortunately, I knew Luke couldn't leave his main fraction's event. However, I didn't think I was bound to the same expectations. There was no way Jules could find the culprit anyways since he never took a clear look at his face. Plus, I had no idea what his name was and which family he came from.

Luke frowned like he was actually considering if he should just leave the event. Unlike the others in his fraction, we belonged to more than one. Jules started to panic as he blurted out, "please don't leave. We won't be able to cover up the mess without you."

"I'll make sure to look over Rika in your place," Jules pitifully pleaded.

Luke sighed as he gave in to his cousin. I slipped out of his arms as I decided to walk on my own to prevent me from gaining any more attention. Once I stepped into the ballroom, I carefully walked around, avoiding the walls and lighting dripping from the ceiling. Everything appeared dangerous inside the banquet hall.

Yulee called for Luke, leaving me alone with Jules in less than a minute. There was awkward silence looming between us. The feeling of betrayal from the incident in the second district still remained inside my heart. Maybe this was why I was feeling more merciless towards him.

I grabbed a drink from the waiter, studying the drink if there was anything inside. I shivered when I recalled Ella putting something in that girl's drink. It was a hard decision whether to fulfill my thirst or tolerate my dry throat for safety instead.

"Are your drinks safe?" I turned to Jules.

Jules looked at me like he was a bit surprised from my question. He waved his hand over the drink, checking if there was anything unexpected. To be exact, he appeared a little offended as he didn't find anything, "it's safe."

"Are you sure?" I couldn't trust him.

"The drinks are safe Rika," Jules started to search the directory.

I wondered if it was just me. It was strange that there were tiny white powders suddenly coming from above to land inside my drink. I scanned the area to search for the culprit as I suddenly noticed the boy sitting alone.

I couldn't believe he was still here. Now that I could take a closer look at him, he also resembled the fairy who asked for the favour. His blazing blue eyes noticed my stare as he turned his face towards me. He mouthed, 'can you come?'

"There's a suspicious person right over there," I pulled on Jules' sleeve.

"Stay right here. I'll come right back," Jules walked towards the direction I pointed.

I gasped as the boy disappeared from his spot. Instead, he was right in front of me like before. I instantly regretted letting Jules leave as I was alone to fend for myself. But unlike before, the boy stuck to the proper etiquette.

"I apologize. Sometimes I get a bit out of control when it comes to Ella," He slightly bowed.

"It's not alright. I can't accept your apology. You see, apologizing doesn't mean someone will forgive you for almost choking them to death," I crossed my arms.

"But you got to talk to her when I wasn't able to for this entire time!" He whined.

"Isn't that your problem?" I wasn't going to continue being swept up in his problems.
