My left ear twitched slightly as soon as the spy charm was activated. It immediately muffled the surrounding voices, and a crisp, melodious sound of a female entered my ear. "I have added her blood to it; now all that's left is to make that boy drink it." When I heard the voice, I immediately recognised it as Stacey's, and the boy she was referring to was me. But I didn't know who she was talking to because after she spoke, there was a silence from the opposite side, as if the other person were in deep thought, and because the Greenberg family's members were in a group behind a column, I couldn't see clearly from my peripheral vision who Stacey was talking to. Actually, the spy charm also allows the user to view the person being spied from a third person's perspective so as to have a clear view of their surroundings, but since I have to close one of my eyes for doing that, which was inappropriate at the moment, I just focused on their voice as I knew that I would know about their i

"Okay, mom, but first please bring your ears here; I have something to say."As I agreed to my mother's eviction order that she gave me, I first gestured for her to bow down to my level with the excuse of telling her something important in her ears, and then quietly I gave her a kiss on the cheek."Muah!, hehehe... bye bye!"And before she could react, I instantly turned around and started walking away, towards an empty seat located slightly away from my mother's position."You kid...!"However, before I could even walk a few steps, I was instantly grabbed by my mother, who then gave me a few return kisses before allowing me to leave.And only then, I started walking again as I took my cheese-meat balls' plate from the table with me when some conversation between Stacey and my mother fell on my ears."He really loves you.""Of course, he's my son after all.""Gosh! If only Selina could be as obedient and talented as your son, even 10% of him would have made my life much easier."Heh!

After the initial whispering and unrest that came from the surprise of Selina's misery and the Archbishop's words, the room fell into a heavy silence as everyone processed the weight of the situation.The whole Greenberg family was almost on their knees in fright, and even the arrogant Selina was like a scared cat at this time, hiding in her mother's arms as she looked at the surrounding situation, which was getting worse and worse.She now finally understood the predicament they were in.That is how her arrogance had led to this situation, and she should have listened to her mother's words and behaved more politely.According to her, she did everything correctly, but she messed up afterward because she overestimated the effect of the potion.When such a thought crossed Selina's mind, she couldn't help but resent her mother; she didn't want to believe that everything had happened because of her.Selina's innocence and vulnerability were on full display at the moment, and it was clear

The night sky above the castle was a breathtaking sight to behold.The full moon cast a gentle glow upon the landscape, illuminating the dark shadows of the trees and the turrets of the castle.The stars twinkled like diamonds, scattered across the velvet black canvas of the sky, while wispy clouds drifted lazily by, their edges tinged with a soft pink hue.Fairy lights strung along the walls and ceilings of the castle, while the interior of the hall was adorned with delicate flowers.The guests, dressed in their finest attire, laughed and chatted as they sipped on champagne and enjoyed the delectable treats laid out before them.As the night wore on, the stars grew brighter, and the moon seemed to rise higher in the sky.The party continued, spilling out onto the castle's balcony, where guests could marvel at the beauty of the night sky in all its glory.And there I was, aware of the beauty of the night but not able to enjoy its view as I was busy in my thoughts while watching the ba

My sudden leap from her lap and question to my father caught my mother's attention, who then also eagerly looked at him to hear the answer.But instead of what we thought he would say, my dad just shook his head and shrugged his shoulders."How would I know who's behind such a thing?"Although he claimed that was the case, his eyes—which I caught gesturing at my mother as though to say, "Don't bring up that subject in front of Luke"—said otherwise."Dad! Why are you trying to hide it from me? I just saw you secretly signalling at my mother."The fact that I saw through his methods and revealed them so directly immediately made his cheeks red and his face embarrassed.Thereafter, helpless, he turned to my mom as though pleading for assistance.But all she did was give him a shake of the head, as if she didn't want to get involved in what was going on between the father and son, though I know she was enjoying it too.Dejected, my father tried to persuade me."It's still not time for you
