EXCUSE ME, MY LADY...
WILL YOU BE STAYING IN YOUR ROOM AGAIN TODAY?
THERE ARE PEOPLE OUTSIDE WHO ARE DYING TO SEE YOU.
WE'LL SEE.
NONE OF THEM SEEMED TO BE THAT DESPERATE.
NO ONE EVEN TRIED TO APPROACH ME LAST YEAR.
THAT'S BECAUSE...
SHE'S TOO INTIMIDATINGLY BEAUTIFUL...
THAT'S AGRECE'S DAUGHTER, RIGHT?
WHOA, WE JUST MADE EYE CONTACT...
THERE HE IS AGAIN.
THE HEIR OF THE CASTRO FAMILY,
LUZARK.
Episode 31
AT THE ASSEMBLY LAST YEAR,
THE ONLY PERSON I MANAGED TO SEE IN PERSON...
...WAS LUZARK CASTRO.
HOW BORING.
IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THE GOLD VERTIUMS ATTENDED THIS YEAR EITHER.
THAT LEAVES ONLY...
...THE RED CASTROS,
THE BLUE PEDELIANS,
AND...
...THE WHITE FIPELLIONS,
WHO HAVE THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE WITH DEMONIC CREATURES.
ORKA, OF THE FIPELLION FAMILY,
IS ALSO KNOWN AS "THE WHITE DEMON TAMER."
THIS IS BECAUSE HE SPENDS MOST OF HIS TIME CHASING AFTER A DEMONIC CREATURE...
...WHICH BECOMES PARTICULARLY ACTIVE DURING THE WINTER.
HE HAS NEVER ATTENDED THE ANNUAL ASSEMBLY.
RED HAIR AND PURPLE EYES.
THIS MAN IS NONE OTHER THAN THE INFAMOUS...
...LUZARK CASTRO.
JUST AS DESCRIBED IN THE NOVEL, HE'S VERY GOOD-LOOKING.
THE NOVEL ALSO MENTIONED...
...THAT LUZARK...
...HAD A FEAR OF WOMEN.
STILL...
IT'S NOT LIKE I'VE DONE ANYTHING TO HIM.
How Rude.
HEY, YOU.
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, GLARING AT MY SISTER LIKE THAT?
DO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH?
ARE YOU TALKING TO ME...?
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU
AH, BASED ON THAT ARROGANT ATTITUDE,
YOU MUST BE ONE OF THE AGRECES.
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE YOUR EYES OFF MY SISTER...
...BEFORE I SHOW YOU WHAT MY ATTITUDE IS REALLY LIKE.
JEREMY HAS BEEN BORED OUT OF HIS MIND SINCE YESTERDAY...
NOW HE'S PICKING FIGHTS.
WELL, I DON'T THINK SOMEONE LIKE LUZARK...
...WOULD GET WORKED UP OVER SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
HEY, BRAT.
SAY ANOTHER WORD, AND I'LL CUT YOUR TONGUE OFF.
OR NOT...?
JEREMY, QUIT THAT AND COME OVER HERE.
HMPH
I APOLOGIZE ON BEHALF OF MY BROTHER. HE'S JUST VERY PROTECTIVE OF ME.
THAT LITTLE BRAT IS YOUR BROTHER?
YOU MUST HAVE YOUR HANDS FULL.
HE'S ONLY LIKE THAT TO PEOPLE WHO ARE RUDE TO ME.
HE'S USUALLY QUITE CUTE.
I SHOULD GET GOING.
TURN
SINCE THE PURPOSE OF THIS ASSEMBLY IS FOR THE FAMILIES TO GET ALONG,
I REALLY DO HOPE THAT YOU ENJOY YOUR TIME HERE.
MY LADY.
THE HEADS OF THE GOLD VERTIUMS...
...AND THE BLUE PEDELIANS HAVE ARRIVED.
I SEE...
I SHOULD GO VISIT FATHER.
AT LAST...
YOU MAY WAIT IN YOUR ROOM,
SYLVIA.
YES, FATHER.
THE FEMALE PROTAGONIST HAS ARRIVED.
In Chapter Draft 32 of the Roxana series, Roxana comes face to face with Luzark, the heir of the Castro family, during the annual assembly and defuses the fight started by her brother Jeremy over staring. After apologizing to Luzark for her brother's impulsive behavior and calming the situation, Roxana decides to go to her father's side immediately upon learning that the leaders of the Golden Vertiums and the Blue Pedelians have arrived.
