In My Favorite Novel As The Final Villain

Chapter 54: And The Other Dukes?

"You're here!" a shout interrupted Theos and Luna's conversation, causing the duo to turn their heads in the direction of the voice.

There they saw a woman a long pink hair swaying as she ran in their direction, her blue eyes always focused on Theos as she gave him a big hug.

"Where have you be? I've called you a hundred times," Teressa scolded him, still holding the hug tightly.

Fortunately, he naturally possessed great strgth so he was not suffocated by Teressa's brutal grip.

"I was with Luna killing some bandits, so to speak," with a smile Theos answered honestly, causing Teressa to smack him on the forehead.

"You did what, with your first Path, and you're already going a killing anyone!" again she scolded him, making Theos shake his head from side to side.

"No, no... I'll explain it to you wh we're together with Father," Theos said, causing Teressa to stop hugging him, later nodding in agreemt.

"Fine, we'll talk it over with your father... By the way, who's Luna?" she asked in confusion, to which Theos moved to the side to introduce his companion, Luna, who was standing at his back the whole time.

"Hello, nice to meet you, lady Fall, I'm Luna Roy," she introduced herself, bowing slightly in respect.

As the most important family, any of its highest members deserved her utmost respect, but Theos was an exception for her, as her only frid, and ev beyond that, she treated him most affectionately.

But Teressa waved her hands with a smile. "No need for such formality, you are my son's girlfrid, so you should feel like family," she stated cheekily with a loving and complicit smile, making Luna blush.

"No, ma'am, I think there's a misunderstanding," she tried to explain, but Teressa shook her head in dial.

"Happy birthday, son," congratulated Matheo with a big smile, making Theos startle.

Never, not ev in the animated version of the novel had I se Matheo smile so broadly, mostly it's indiffert or barely a slight smile.

This made Theos smile wider as well. "Well, I'm 8 now, what are you finally going to give me?" he asked cheekily, making Matheo's eyes wid.

"You've never asked me for a gift before in my life," he said with his eyes wide with astonishmt, but Theos just shook his head.

"That's true, but now I need ev the smallest resource to make me stronger," Theos' eyes revealed an unprecedted determination, so Matheo could only smile helplessly.

"Sorry, I don't have the gift now, but I promise to give you one as soon as possible," he promised, a little embarrassed.

Theos already imagined this, so he only nodded with a smile. "Speaking of birthdays, I suspect of the Sonne family is going to be a because of their duke's currt condition, no?"

That question made Matheo nod in confirmation, with a hint of annoyance in his eyes. "Not only that, but the tire Whitelock family won't be coming either because of rect troubles, plus the Arlott family, so of the Dukes will be attding...

And as if that wasn't ough, of the royal family either, ev though you carry their blood, the King refuses to appear publicly again because of what happed with his daughter."

Theos could only nod with an icy stare. 'Actually, a lot has changed... In the original novel, the Sonne family is at the party, as are the Whitelocks and various members of the Royal family, but there's no point anymore.'

At this point, Theos' eyes wt to a more icy, expression without a single emotion. "Th we'll just have to show why, in the Fall family, you should never miss an invitation, ev if we call you to see an ant walking on cheese."
