I Am The Game's Villain Chapter 193 [Event] [Celesta Twins' Birthday] [6]

This girl just won't leave my side.

I couldn't help but twitch my expression as Sylvia continued to follow wherever I went.

Whatever.

I let out a sigh and nodded at the knights, who imdiately recognized and opened the doors to the hall.

As I stepped in, the previously noisy atmosphere hushed, and all eyes turned towards and Sylvia. Their expressions were a mix of surprise and shock.

"This is getting annoying," I muttered under my breath, making my way towards Aunt Belle. "Aunt--ouch!" I grunted as Aunt Belle forcefully fixed my tie, almost choking in the process.

"You're attending an important ceremony, Edward. Show so restraint," she scolded.

I shrugged my shoulders, casually poking Orlin's cheeks as he tried to reach out to with his small hands. "I'm no longer a Falkrona, anyway."

"Yes, but you're still from the Olphean House. You should visit your birthplace one day to understand," Aunt Belle said, glancing briefly behind . "Oh, isn't this Sylvia? You've grown up beautifully, Sylvia." She affectionately patted Sylvia's head.

"Aunt Belle, is he your son? He's so cute!" Sylvia exclaid, playing with Orlin's hand.

"Well, he's Edward's familiar, but since he didn't know how to take care of children, I took him under my wing."

"I take good care of Annabelle, though," I retorted.

"Annabelle is mature and really fond of you, that's why. But it's different with Orlin. He's scared of you."

Fortunately, Aunt Belle was there for .

I confided in her about my mories of past lives and my possession of several legacies. I didn't want to hide anything from her, even though I couldn't be certain if we were truly inside a ga. Surprisingly, Aunt Belle didn't seem to care at all.

("Regardless of how many past lives you've had, you'll always be my adorable nephew," she said.)

Her words lifted a heavy weight off my shoulders.

I shared with her everything about Annabelle and Orlin, and I even told her what had happened to Mary. While she expressed concern over my crazy plan to kidnap Persephone, Hades' wife, she didn't try to dissuade . Instead, she assured of her support.

"How's Tihana?" Aunt Belle asked.

"Tihana? She's doing well," I replied with a smile. "But she refuses to leave my side."

Tihana, my second familiar, hatched three weeks ago. Despite being born after Orlin, she displayed an incredible maturity and acted like an older sister to him. Unlike Orlin, who was closest to Aunt Belle, Tihana grew close to .

"Sylvia." Queen Edith's voice cut through the air, drawing our attention.

Sylvia glanced at before sighing and making her way towards her parents. They began conversing, their discussion seemingly tense, though I couldn't overhear the details.

"Hm?" I scanned the room and realized that everyone was still looking at . Most of the girls... they were staring at intently, their cheeks flushed.
