nNero left the room to look for Choko, but in Choko's office she saw Jana, Jair, and Breno talking to Choko.

n

"Nero! You look beautiful!

" Jana, who saw her arrive, praised. Jana was wearing a red one-piece dress, looking very sensual.

n

"Thanks. You look beautiful too.

"

n

"Thanks,

" Jana smiled.

nThen, Nero looked in the direction of Choko, who blushed from Nero's gaze. Choko was stunning, wearing a purple dress showing some skin around her neck and next to her ponytail. She looked very beautiful and charming.

n

"Choko, you look beautiful, elegant, and charming,

" Nero said with a smile.

nHearing this, it made Choko blush furiously. Now she just wanted to find a place to hide her embarrassment... She said with a shy smile and covered her face,

"Y-You are wonderful!

"

n

"Thanks.

" Nero continued to smile at her. She thought it was cute the way Choko was embarrassed to the point that even her neck and ears were red.

nJair and Breno, who wore black suits, praised Nero and were themselves praised in return. After that, they left Choko's mansion and walked on the grounds of the Qin Clan, heading towards the main mansion, where the party was taking place.

nOn the way, Nero received many looks of admiration, envy, and lust. It made her a little uncomfortable, but little by little she was getting used to it, although she didn't like the disgusting look of these men craving her body.

n

"Disgusting!

" Choko said angrily while making many men look away ashamed. They knew Choko and would not dare to provoke the daughter of the Qin Clan Patriarch.

n

"Calm down, Choko. It's all right.

" Nero stroked Choko's beautiful purple hair and said with a soft smile.

n

"I know, but...

" she murmured,

"I don't like this at all...

"

nWhat surprised Choko most was that not only did men look longingly at Nero, even some women cast some flirtatious glances in her direction.

nArriving in front of the main mansion, the guard recognized Choko and said politely,

"Miss Choko, you and your friends can come in.

"

n

"We will, then.

" Choko took Nero's hand and entered the mansion and walked down the halls until she stopped in front of the big party room.

n

"Princess Choko Qin is here!

" As soon as Choko entered, she was announced. Many guests in the party hall looked in her direction.

n

"Little sister, you are here!

" Maia went to her, and said with a sweet smile, and hugged Choko lovingly. In her mind she thought with a chuckle, 'See, everyone is looking and thinking how loving and sweet I am with my little sister...'

n

"Yes.

" Choko nodded.

nWearing a flashy golden dress with a large neckline showing half her breasts, and wearing some gold accessories such as a ring and necklace, Malvina, Maia's mother, stood to the side and looked at Choko with anger and disguised disgust.

n

"Princess Maia is so cute,

" a young boy commented.

n

"The man who marries her is going to be very lucky,

" another young man said dreamily.

nMaia said when she stopped hugging Choko,

"You look beautiful, little sister!

"

n

"You look very pretty, too,

" Choko said.

n'Of course, I am. After all, I am...' Maia thought of telling herself that she was the most beautiful at the party, but when she looked at Nero not far away, she didn't have the courage to tell herself that she was more beautiful than she. It would be like saying that a chicken could fly; it was laughable that she thought she might be more beautiful than Nero. 'Damn, how can this girl be so beautiful?'

nWhile she now thought so, many had already noticed Nero's presence. The first time they looked at her in amazement, then admiration for her beauty, and some women looked with envy, feeling inferior.

n

"Hello, we meet again~

" Maia looked at Nero and said with a lovely smile.

n

"Yes,

" Nero said with a simple and indifferent answer. She didn't like this girl from the start.

nNot far away, near a table, Emily murmured,

"This girl is so arrogant! She doesn't even respect Maia and is rude even when Maia is so kind to her.

"

n

"Sigh~

" Maura, a girl with long black hair, spoke,

"She is just an ignorant girl who doesn't know the vastness of the sky and doesn't appreciate a good person. She is certainly being deceived by Choko's face.

"

n

"It's true...

" Emily agreed and added with a sly smile as she took a glass of water from the table,

"I can't believe she's that beautiful. I bet she's wearing heavy makeup! Look and learn.

"

nMaura did not try to stop Emily. She continued to watch with a half-smile, hoping to enjoy a good show.

n

"Maia, there you are-

" Emily pretended to trip and

"fell

" towards Nero with a glass full of water in her hand,

"Ahhhh!

"

nNero, who had increased agility by more than 90 points, saw everything happen and acted very fast. She didn't dodge and even caught Emily falling towards her, holding Emily gently in one arm and the ejected glass in her other hand, without letting a drop of water spill out.

nIn a soft voice, she asked the astonished Emily if she was alright, who blushed furiously when she saw Nero's face up close. Without herself realizing it, she put her unoccupied hand against Nero's face and thought in amazement, 'So soft and smooth!'

nThis was clearly not a face with makeup. Even a thin amount of makeup would not leave the skin as smooth and supple as that. Emily was amazed. It was hard to believe that someone could be this beautiful without wearing makeup.

n

"Hello?

" Nero spoke again, bringing Emily back to her senses.

n

"Yes, yes... Thank you.

" Emily felt embarrassed. She pulled away while shaking the hand that touched Nero's face, and her face went as red as a monkey's ass.

n

"En,

" Nero nodded.

n

"I'm going now. Thanks again!

" After saying that, Emily couldn't stand to stay there another second. She turned and fled, still holding the glass of water.

n'Strange girl...' Nero muttered in her mind.
