"Don't tell anyone what you saw in that box, or I'm gonna kill you," Keith said, her face still flushed, as they both walked toward the party with their arms crossed together.
Kevin nodded with a smirk and asked, "But why are you taking them with you? Will you be able to use them there?"
"Why do you care? Just don't ntion it from now on," Keith whispered as a red-haired girl approached them with a smile.
Kevin raised an eyebrow, still amused by the situation. "Alright, your secret is safe with . But seriously, I didn't expect this from you, Keith. It's a bit unconventional, isn't it?"
Keith blushed deeply, her cheeks a shade of crimson that matched her fiery red hair. "I can't believe we're discussing this here," she muttered. "But let clarify; these aren't for personal use during the party, of course. I just... well, they have sentintal value."
Kevin couldn't help but chuckle at her response. "Sentintal value, huh? Now, that's a new one."
Just as their conversation seed to be shifting to a more comfortable topic, a fellow partygoer, the red-haired girl, approached them with a friendly smile. Keith's attention imdiately shifted, her embarrassnt montarily pushed aside.
It was her niece, Kari, who tiptoed toward them in her long, dark red dress, a shade darker than her hair. Kari had a boyish, sharp face with the family's natural, shiny white skin, but being around Kevin's age, she had bit girlish vibe and unlike her aunts; she had bit normal body but with potential to be sothing hot.
With excitent, Kari walked toward them and said, "Aunty, you look beautiful."
Keith smiled and held her niece's hands, replying, "You too, my love," with adoration in her eyes, though Kevin knew it was sothing more than just adoration.
"I know, right? I got this dress from...," Kari was about to share the origin of her dress, likely from so fashion designer, "aghh." but Kevin cleared his throat, disrupting her conversation. Both Keith and Kari turned their attention to him.
Keith, understanding his signal, smiled and introduced them, saying, "Kari, I think you've t him before, but this is Kevin." facing him she continued the introduction's. "Kevin, this is my niece, Kari."
"I know..." Kari replied, looking at him with a slightly displeased expression.
Kevin observed Kari's discontent, and he couldn't quite discern the root of her displeasure. He had t her before, and as Keith's niece, they shared so familiarity, but it was apparent that sothing had put her on edge.
"How are your preparations going for the academy?" Kevin asked with a smile, attempting so small talk.
He maintained a polite smile, genuinely interested in her academic pursuits. However, his inquiry seed to have quite the opposite effect. Kari's already displeased expression swiftly transford into one of irritation.
She retorted, "Yeah, thanks to you, it's going better than it should be."
Kevin was taken aback by her response and felt there might be a hidden aning behind her words, one he wasn't quite grasping. Nevertheless, he decided to focus on the more positive interpretation. With a sincere tone, he offered his assistance, saying, "Well, if you need any help, just say the word."
Kari let out a scoff, clearly exasperated, and replied, "Yeah, so you might send sowhere so far away that I can't even et my family for decades."
Kevin, still puzzled by her antagonistic attitude, couldn't quite put his finger on why this red-haired young woman seed to harbor such hostility toward him. His confusion was evident as he asked, "I think we might have gotten off on the wrong foot or sothing, but I don't know why?"
Kari's anger only seed to intensify as she shot him a glare that could have lted steel. Her look conveyed a clear intent to harm, but Keith quickly intervened to defuse the situation. She spoke to Kari, "Kari, he's our guest; don't be rude."
Kari directed a look of feeling wronged at her aunt as she muttered, "But he...he..."
Keith, though, interrupted her niece with a stern but gentle tone, "Kari, I said don't be rude. Now, let's enjoy the party. Is everyone here?"
Kari, her hostility toward Kevin still evident, reluctantly answered, "Most of them have. Aunt Keyara and so others are about to arrive."
Keith nodded, Kevin's arm intertwined with hers, and then inquired, "Where is Viana?"
"Great grandma, she was drinking with her friends," Kari replied, finally shifting her gaze away from Kevin. He, on the other hand, took a mont to scan the party hall.
Kari's response piqued Kevin's interest, and he couldn't help but admire the classic yet elegant atmosphere of the party. The guests had taken care to dress up, with n donning suits and won wearing stunning dresses that accentuated their figures. As he scanned the room, he couldn't help but appreciate the effort put into making this event special.
The room was tastefully decorated, with soft lighting that created an inviting and intimate atmosphere. Tables were elegantly set with fine china and crystal glassware, giving the impression of a formal gathering. It was clear that no expense had been spared to ensure that this party was a morable affair.
Kevin's attention was briefly drawn to a group of slightly older won who were deep in conversation and seed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves. Their laughter and animated gestures added a lively touch to the party.
They didn't seem to be drawing much attention despite their beauty, as there were plenty of equally stunning ladies in attendance. However, Kevin's gaze was inexplicably fixed on this particular group, a sentint shared by Keith, who had a hint of disgust on her face. She muttered, "That old hag has already started her drama."
Following her gaze, Kevin's eyes settled on a specific woman in the group, a golden-haired individual with facial features bearing a striking resemblance to both Keith and Kari. However, her resemblance to Kari was particularly striking.
In contrast to the more understated beauty of Keith and Keyara, this older woman exuded a captivating, universally-recognized feminine charm. It was clear that she possessed a different kind of allure that set her apart from the others in the room.
