BXBX NOVEL Chapter 12: The Protagonist
Theos\' eyes roamed the room, taking in the dless meals: turkey in the ov, stews, soups, light meals.... He approached the food and devoured it one by one with total elegance and care, without making a sound.
"The tortilla stew is heavly," Theos commted softly and conttedly. He hadn\'t eat since his transmigration, so his hunger was no joke.
Alice watched him siltly. "He\'s quite cute wh he eats," she thought without realizing it, as she moved to taste the stew Theos had mtioned.
"Delicious," Alice said, surprised by the taste of the food.
"Yes, they have an excellt cook here, but I don\'t think he\'s superior to you," Theos said with complete sincerity.
"I prepared it with a lot of love; it would be an insult if you didn\'t like it," Alice replied with an angry expression, but inside, she was happy about the complimt. How long had she waited for a complimt from him? She served him every day, but all she got was a cold, indiffert look.
"Forgive me if I have offded you, my lady," Theos said jokingly with a slight smile, feeling equally happy in his heart. He felt that the sudd change in their relationship would be extremely awkward, as she had previously considered him her master. Fortunately, she seemed to adapt quickly to their new situation, and most importantly, she did so happily.
Alice rolled her eyes and did not react to his jokes. After all, it was a gathering of nobles, she couldn\'t playfully argue with him in such a tse atmosphere.
Theos understood this and did not insist.
His eyes continued to scan the hall, recognizing several nobles mtioned in the novel, but what caught his atttion was a group of young m standing in a corner.
In reality, the nobles were separated from the young m along with the lords, but normally the group of young m would not be so active or conversational. Looking at them more closely, Theos recognized the figure who was perhaps the most important character in the plot... The protagonist.
He had gold blond hair, sky-blue eyes, skin, and a slim but toned body. His appearance and charm were well above average; he could be considered a handsome person.
Suring the young man were dozs of young girls, mostly pretty, who were secondary female characters. But Theos recognized them at a glance.
Theos\' face became impassive again, unlike his inner self, which was full of laughter.
\'More main characters means more negative mana\' Theos concluded, holding Alice\'s small hand tighter. "How about we go that way?"
Hearing Theos\' suggestion, Alice didn\'t hesitate and nodded in agreemt. After all, she had no reason to refuse, except for the fact that these were young people her age, or close to it.
Theos approached the group, who noticed her immediately. How could they not notice such dazzling and outstanding figures? Ever since Theos and Alice tered, everyone couldn\'t help but look a.
In particular, neither he nor she greeted any nobles, and that would have be considered disrespectful, but Rasforh acted with total respect in front of him, which meant that he was not someone simple and did not intimidate anyone. But who? No one had ever se this man at a gathering of nobles.
But everyone had a hunch. Who is the only young man of high status who has never introduced himself in public? That\'s right... The young master and heir of the Great Fall Family, the Fall.
Such a possibility made everyone\'s hair stand on d and their skin crawl. His appearance is not so differt from that of a princess, and ev superior.
"Hello, guys, it\'s nice to meet you," Theos introduced himself with an indiffert and cold, yet elegant and magnetic voice, making all the young m lose themselves in his voice for a second.
"Hello, it\'s nice to meet you too, my name is Alan Roy, of the Roy family," the first person to emerge from the hypnotic state of Theos\' voice introduced himself politely.
\'Of course, the first one to introduce himself is the protagonist\' he thought amusedly. He didn\'t want to talk to him too much, so he just nodded and ignored him.
"Hey, what\'s your name?" asked Alan, a bit annoyed, because he didn\'t like Theos; after all, he was much better looking, so it left a bitter taste in his mouth. And if that wasn\'t ough, there was a certain natural animosity betwe them.
Hearing the contempt in Alan\'s voice, Theos raised an eyebrow. \'I understand that I ignored him, but that voice of contempt and slight hatred shouldn\'t just be for that? Maybe the protagonist naturally felt some mity or hatred towards the villain?\' this possibility circulated in Theos\' mind, but he ignored it without giving it much importance.
Yes, Alan is the protagonist, but .... So what? Besides, the more hate and negative emotions, the more negative ergy Theos will have. It\'s like winning without doing anything.
"My name?... Call me Ark for now; in a few days, you\'ll know my name," Theos answered directly, walking past Alan.
"What?" question marks filled Alan\'s mind; he couldn\'t understand what he had heard. In a few days, I will know his name. How does he know I will know his name in a few days? A flood of questions began to circulate in his mind.
Theos had no inttion of answering his doubts, so he turned his atttion to a young girl sitting apart from the other youngsters.
\'Bingo!\'
