Chapter 48: Evoke (2)

The gate opened as the vehicle approached Two guards greeted the driver as it passed The car continued to enter the gate until we passed a road that was once again surrounded by trees When will it end?

A reeted us It was ale as one of the parts of the castle at titan Academy

This family is not really a joke

The vehicle drove into the circular drivehere a whole garden was located in the nificent double doors of thebutler and three assistants aiting for us

“Very fancy” muttered Victoria

We went out froreet us We were then taken to the ain The golden lights, the carpet, the chandelier, the gigantic staircase loo in front of us Are they sure that this is still a house?

We entered a place that looked like a hall It was spacious inside and there was a long table that almost filled the entire room There see a few: Corrine and her parents, Miss Aura and Sir Apollo, and Ethan and Gin

Oh, so it’s just really only us

Those on the table turned to look at us e arrived My eyes i next to Corrine at the other end of the table

I noticed that even Sir Apollo was dressed soberly today, though a bottle of as on his side as he held a half-elass

“Good afternoon, Victoria, Luna, Cain, and shi+a”Corrine's“It's Good that you came”

I shen shesain The Stanford family We went and sat on the vacant seats I was next to Ethan, as on the right Luna, Victoria, and Cain were at the end

The surroundings were very formal so I felt like I was suffocated I watched the people that were here withto Gin

A while later, I felt Luna grasping et ain Corrine’s parents were in front of us At both ends were Miss Aura and Sir Apollo

“Y-Yes?” I was confused when I noticed Corrine’sat me

“This is the first tiht?” she asked

I nodded without realizing and tried to smile I looked at her husband as next to her He was so quiet He always seeive us a smile e arrived earlier

“Hopefully you will not be embarrassed or feel out of place” Corrine Mama says

“Thank you” Was my short answer

They are so kind But is she really kind to everyone? Are there really people that are rich like this but very kind?

Food began to coinal birthday But it was a good thing they prepared for the group this weekend because they knee could not go next week

Corrine s even with our busy schedule for the Linus Cup

In fact, she seeel: beautiful, s I wondered what birthday will a person like her have

My friends started eating I watched the food in front ofon my plate Olives I hate olives

I took one of the olives in my dish and placed it on the side so I could not eat it I was focusing on what I was doing when I felt soaze onat me

D-Did I do so? Should not I do that at a formal dinner?

“You also don't want olives?”

I turned to Corrine’s mother “Uh, I do not like the taste” my simple answer

But the truth is, I was allergic to it This is the food that, even when I’, I will still not eat because I can't breathe hen I do But they don’t have to know

I continued eating While doing so,Corrine’s parents asked us if ere nervous about the upco to do, what our parents reaction was now that it was approaching
