The night of the party arrives soon and this time there was a carriage waiting for Zavian outside the door.

The head butler was standing beside the carriage with his head down as if hiding his face. Zavian's knight was there as well. For a moment Zavian couldn't believe that this carriage was for him until his knight opened the door for him.

For once, Zavian wondered if this was his brother's doing?

But soon he felt uncomfortable since these people were definitely forced to serve him.

Once he was inside the carriage, the knight closed the door with a bang, which created a loud noise.

Normally it was considered rude, but Zavian didn't want to create a ruckus so he didn't say much.

The entire ride was quiet before he reached his destination. He got down from the carriage and took the gift he had prepared for the birthday girl.

Once he reached inside the building he suddenly felt out of place, because apparently Everyone either ignored him or pretended that he didn't exist.

He stood at his place awkwardly for a moment, not knowing where to go or who to speak with.

He was even thinking whether it was a good idea to come here or not, while he was in the middle of regretting his decision he was approached by the birthday girl Sapphire Churchill herself she was a gorgeous lady and her red dress made her look even more radiant.

"Lord Zavian,I am happy that you came here."

"It's my pleasure lady Sapphire. Please accept my gift." Zavian said and handed over his gift of a beautiful diamond necklace to her.

Sapphire smirked and took the necklace, "it's so pretty, it would look good with my collection"

Her maid came by her side and said, "Oh my, this is so pretty." Sapphire smiled. "Do you want it?"

The maid smiled, "Yeah, but how can I?"

"Then here you go," Sapphire said and tossed the necklace with no care to the maid and it was considered very disrespectful to give the necklace that was given to her as a gift to someone else and that someone who was a maid.

Zavian only smiled. He looked down, he felt bad but what can he say? This woman was making him uncomfortable,"um...how is your elder brother, lord Simon?"

"My elder brother is okay. Thanks for asking."

Sapphire nodded, "okay then, enjoy the party."

After that, Sapphire just walked away. She didn't bother to talk with Zavian anymore and no one else bothered to talk to him.

Even when en tried they just straight-up ignored him, even Sapphire also ignored him even the waiters didn't ask him for drinks.

So Zavian just sat quietly in the corner on a sofa, waiting for some time before deciding to just leave.

But before he could get to he suddenly felt a cold, the liquid being poured onto him.

This made him Stand suddenly, and he saw Ruby standing behind him with a smile as she emptied her glass on Zavian, "Lady Ruby, what kind of joke is this?"

Ruby, then made a sorry face, "I am sorry, lord Zavian. It was my mistake,"

She said and walked towards him, but at the same time, 'coincidently', a waiter carrying snacks came from behind and Ruby accidentally bumped into him and all the contents that the waiter carried fell onto Zavian.

Moreover, it was hot food freshly prepared which even burned his skin.

"Oh, I am so sorry," Ruby said and tried to touch Zavian, but yanked his hand away while Ruby 'accidentally' fell to the ground.

"I said I am sorry, lord Zavian. Can't you forgive me?" Ruby fake cried while the crowd just watched.

"What kind of behaviour is this, lord Zavian? Sapphire said angrily, "we invited you to the party, and this is how you treat my sister?

My little sister made a mistake can't you forgive her? How can you treat a lady like this? Just because a goddess favours you it doesn't mean that you can treat others like this!"

Zavian clenched his fist and stood there as the others stared at him with disdain.

"This is indeed true. How can you treat her like this?"

"Lord Zavian, you should apologise"

"A person favoured by a goddess can be so arrogant."

"How can he just push her like that?"

"No wonder the Duke doesn't like him."

Zavian heard all this and after some time he bowed his head, "I apologise, lady Ruby, it was my fault"

With that, he didn't say a word more and walked away. He went to his carriage and saw his knight. There, where was this guy a few minutes earlier?

But Zavian felt so embarrassed that he kept his questions to himself only. He sat in the carriage, how excited was he for today he really wanted to socialize but it seems humans really hate him.

He wonders why does everyone bring up that he is favoured by the goddess every time something happens related to him?

Zavian also wonders that day mother shouldn't have jumped in to save him. It wasn't. necessary his mother knew that he was special and won't die. easily then why?

While he was in deep thoughts, he suddenly felt the carriage stop and a lot of loud noises.

He jumped out to see what was wrong, only to know that he was under attack and the knight and the carriage driver had already left him alone.

Zavian suddenly smiled and closed his eyes so they clearly don't care whether he lives or dies, huh? Even if he is their master, how can they abandon him?

He felt himself being surrounded by people while he stood at his place, staring at the ground.

The leader of the group raised his sword," it's good you are quiet. Now come with us quietly"

He swung his sword towards Zavian, who dodged it and took the leader's sword before placing it at his neck. " I am saying this nicely. Leave."

The leader glared at Zavian." Attack him."

Zavian sighed and raise the sword before jumping toward the other men.

~~~

Zavian was able to make them run away, but he himself received some terrible wounds, a standard wound in his stomach and shoulder, and a head wound.

It had also started raining again and his carriage was destroyed so he decided to walk towards his home but he took one step and felt immense pain that he collapsed on the ground.

The cold rain gave him some sort of relaxation as he remembered today's events. He suddenly felt his arms being grabbed and someone supporting his body.

"When will you learn to kill your enemy rather than leaving them alive idiot?"

"Your highness."

Yug supported him and helped him sit with him on the horse with him, " I apologise for coming so late. They were sent by the empress. You got hurt because of me."

"Please don't blame yourself, your highness, I got hurt because I am Favoured by the goddess"

"And you still believe in her?"

"Yes, I shall never stop believing in her, "Zavian said as he leaned forward and put his head on Yug's shoulder. "I apologise for this, but my body feels heavy."

"No worries. " Yug drove his horse faster as he reached the Duke's residence. Zavian had already fallen asleep by them so he carried him on his back.

Inside he saw Simon Zavian's elder brother, when he saw Zavian for once his straight face was laced with concern as he ran towards him.

"What happened to him?"

"So you care, huh?" Yug asked as he laid Zavian on the sofa.

"I am asking what's wrong with him!!!"

"Shut up! Are you forgetting who you are talking to? I am not your brother, I will behead you right here if you dare to talk to me like that fucking duke"

While Simon was very angry, he knew this prince wasn't joking, so he just bowed his head. "I apologise, your highness but please tell me what's wrong with my brother?"

"He was attacked and his knight abandoned him"

Simon's gaze hardened. " Head butler!"

The head butler came running to him and bowed his head." go and summon Elijah and all the servants who were supposed to serve Zavian and call other servants to help Zavian into his room"

"No need, tell me where his room is. I'll take him"

Once Yug took Zavian, Elijah was placed in front of Simon," so Elijah mind telling me what your duties as a knight are?"

Elijah who sat there with a straight face, "it's to protect my master with my life"

"And you failed in that task"

"My master was lady Irene. I will only consider her as my master"

Simon took out his sword." you failed in protecting her and my brother, such a useless knight like you shouldn't be allowed to wield a sword anymore. " with that, he cut off his wrist, making Elijah writhe in pain.

"Send him and his wrist back to his home and fire all the servants without pay," he said then turned to the head butler," and you will be next if you behaved like them"

The head butler clenched his fist, "young master, the Duke will not be happy if he knew you are doing this for the young master Zavian."

"A man who only thinks about himself and places the dead over the living is better off as dead. And yes, go and tell him what I said, for I am it afraid of him anymore"
