Third Person's Pov
As the door opens, all the people inside the hall turns their head to see the Lady.
Alucard's Pov
When someone announced about the Lady's arrival behind the door. Everyone inside the hall stop their conversations for a while. As the door opens all heads turns towards it, that includes ours,in order to see the Lady.
Since I consider her my sister, I also needs to observe her during this banquet, such naive and frail Lady, if ever someone bothers her I need to step up for and be her guard during this time.
Anyway since she's here already soon father will also be here, I know how much she values the Lady just like her own daughter so before coming here he might ask for an audience with her. I just came early since I arrive along with these three (referring to the other prince's beside him).
After the door opens and the Lady walks in, silence covered the hall. And even without looking around, I somehow know that I am not the only one that can't look away from her.
I can say that this little sister of mine which I already promised myself to protect is really good looking, specially on the dress that she is currently wearing. Blue looks good on her it makes her eyes looks more radiant.
Seeing her appearance tonight makes me more weary of her surrounding, one wrong move of any idiot who will lay a hand on her, I can't promise to have this celebration to end without blood shed. I know she is capable of self defense but as a Lady her strength won't be enough if a man wants to take advantage of her.
" Make sure to keep an eye on her and protect her from any harm" I said loud enough for the other three to hear. I'm not even surprise to hear abropt response from them.
" You don't need to say it, that's an obvious thing to do" Kaja said.
" Right,of course such precious sister of us, how can we let her be harmed in any way" Valir added.
I also hear a deep hmmmm from Roger on my side. During the time the we are able to know the Lady I know that all four of us end up considering the Lady as part of the group. They also consider her their sister, however,for some reasonI don't feel to good about this idea.
For now since everyone wants to protect her let them be. I know I can trust this three weirdos friend of mine.

Lady Miya's Pov
Since I can feel everyone's gaze on me before walking to my designated sit or table I just do a simple greetings to everyone. As I walk to my sit I can still feel the eyes that follows each of my movement.
"I told you my Lady your beauty really shines right now" I hear Hilda's whisper , even without seeing her look I can imagine her proud of herself ight now.
"They are just curious about myself" I whispered back enough for her to hear.
" My Lady is somehow naive in some ways" she murmured while sighing. This pretty little cute maid of mine really becomes more and more fearless which is very likable. She even forgot that I'm a martial artist which also gives me sensitive hearing so I can still hear it clearly since she's just behind me.
This feels uncomfortable but I can only ignore all the gaze I am getting, as I arrive on my table before sitting down since the crown prince and the other prince's are sitting in front of me I greet each of them which they also acknowledge. For some reason they seem to be very cautious with their environment which is very appropriate that also gives me assurance that they will be prepared all the time.
As for Hilda since she needs to stand at the back along with the other maidens and eunuch she's now back to being herself as a proper maid.
I know we'll be sitting for sometime later luckily my wound is healing well its no longer painful anyway so it really doesn't matter anymore.
The silence finally come to an end when Lady Layla, the prime Minister's wife, whose sitting on my right side spoke.
" I'm glad to see Lady Miya tonight, its been quite some time since I last so you " she said . I smiled at her " Yes indeed Lady Layla, I'm also gad to see you again, how have you been?" I go along to keep the conversation going.
" I'm doing great my Lady, I heard that you also enjoyed your visit to the south" she added.
" Yes indeed, though some unexpected things happened I am still able to enjoy and experience great things there" I answered back.
By the way Lady Layla knows about my identity the prime minister is one of the loyal subject of his majesty and she's giving her support fully to her husband.
As we start a small conversation between us. The others also starts conversations with themselves which I'm thankful. They finally stop paying attention on our direction.
" Thank you Lady Layla" I said making sure that she's the only one who can hear it. She smiled in response. She also knows me well enough to know that I feel uncomfortable earlier that's why she started a conversation with me.
She's also one of my mother's close friend that's why she is familiar with myself.
