A (Not)Fun Party

"Don't come near me! I don't want everyone to see me with a loathsome man like you!” snapped Wilo who looked so beautiful in a black dress studded with pearls.

“Wilo, why are you talking like that to your own husband?” asked Hosh who was sitting in his wheelchair.

“Look at you, Hosh! All those fancy clothes of yours can't even cover up those hideous skins. What wife do you think would be willing to walk hand in hand with a husband like that? You're so disgusting. I don't even want to see you!" Wilo tossed his beautiful wavy hair.

"Wilo, you have to remember that our marriage was completely the wish of your late father."

"Yes I know. That's why I hate him so much even after two years he died. I had already rejected this idea so vehemently when I returned to the palace, but my father didn't care one bit. He said that the promise of a king is absolute and unchangeable. This is all because of him!” Wilo was still cursing.

“Wilo, whatever it is, I have become your husband. You should respect me and not continue to insult me ​​like this. Two years of marriage and I can never even touch you.”

"Of course not. You think I want to catch a terrible disease like that!” Willo stared at her reflection in the mirror.

“Wilo… can you just once-“

"That's enough. Don't piss me off on a special night like this. Let me enjoy my party and it would be better if you could keep your distance from me!”

Wilo stepped out in her silver high heels. Hosh could only stare at the back of Wilo's body which was swaying perfectly. She is Wilona Eve Zeline. A daughter of the king of the Zenith clan and daughter of Queen Xylia. The Zenith clan is the clan that has the highest position among the four existing clans and according to its meaning is the leader.

Hosh saw his reflection in the mirror which was indeed pathetic. Most of his body was covered with hideous spots and wounds. Even his face was unsightly. Hosh couldn't be surprised if Wilo kept rejecting him. Moreover, he came from the Crosby clan which was the lowest clan in that country.

Hosh was able to marry Wilo only because of a coincidence. Hosh went to the forest and accidentally met Wilo. Coincidence could also lead the girl out of there because Wilo was initially stunned by Hosh's handsome face. The thing that Wilo didn't remember was that in the Grey Forest, everything was just an illusion.

A knock on the door made Hosh look up. In the doorway stood Shenna, his nurse, the only person in the kingdom who treated him sincerely. Falling in love with Shenna should be so much easier. It was just that in retrospect, maybe it was just Hosh's feeling. Maybe it was just because Shenna had no other choice.

“Prince Hosh, I will take you to the hall.”

Hosh just smiled so thinly. Shenna slowly pushed his wheelchair towards the hall. The closer the door looked, the more anxious Hosh felt. Coming to the royal party was the wrong decision. After all, no one would appreciate his presence there. Instead, he would be faced with hundreds of disdainful looks from the guests.

Sure enough, just as the wheel rolled in, Lion already greeted him with his handsome face and arrogant smile. Standing with one martini in his right hand and the other in his trouser pocket. The man who is also the prince of the Lazarus clan as well as Wilo's ex-lover whom she still loves to this day.

"You're so shameless aren't you? Do you realize that your presence here disturbs the appetite of many people?” The man whose full name is Lionel Ezra began to mock.

"I'm not here to take your word for it, Lion. Just enjoy the party and don't mind me!” Hosh was so upset.

"Ha ha ha. You know what you say won't affect me at all. In fact I will always be way above your level. I am a prince and you are just a man who was cast out because of your illness. The Crosby clan has even crossed you off the prince list because you are sick and disabled."

“All of that is true and I don't mind at all because Uncle Abraham is a good leader for the Crosby clan. Then come to think of it, I may not be at your level, but you have to remember that Wilo married me and that reality will never change.”

"Ha ha ha. Only as long as you're alive right? I always have a chance, Hosh.” Lion just smiled coldly.

Shenna decided to push the wheelchair again as Hosh gave instructions with his hands. The nurse brought her master to a table that did provide a lot of food. Shenna was taking a martini when another man approached Hosh. A tall, burly man with an equally mocking smile.

"I know you didn't come to make small talk," Hosh said.

"If we hadn't been at this party, I would have beaten you to a pulp." Emil clenched his fists.

"Owh Yeah? Finally there's a reason to keep you from being rude. As far as I know the Earl clan teaches how to fight well. How to fight for justice or fight to defend the weak. I guess you're the only one who uses your body and your power to oppress others."

"Ha ha ha. You praise me? I'm so big head now." The man whose full name was Emillio Gibson laughed heartily.

“Ah, but didn't you think about it… you did hit because you felt your pride was stepped on? You're just annoyed that I have what you don't have. A beautiful wife and great power?” quipped Hosh.

Emil became so annoyed. His fists that had been clenched from earlier slid very easily onto Hosh's scarred face. The wheelchair allowed Hosh to hold on despite the slight push. All eyes quickly turned to the same direction. Shenna who saw it immediately approached the prince and immediately took him away from there.

Wilo followed until Shenna stopped in an empty hallway to observe the condition of the Hosh's face. Just when Shenna asked, Wilo had pulled Shenna's body tightly and pushed her far enough because of her unbalanced legs. Shenna chose to retreat and lowered her head because there was another person there who she respected very much.

“What exactly do you want? You deliberately want to embarrass me by disrupting this party?” Wilo shouted angrily.

“You are such a pathetic son-in-law! I should have refused from the start when the late King Alaric wanted to marry Wilo to you. Wouldn't it be better if you just died?!” shout Queen Xylia.
