Chaos Warlord: Reincarnated in Eldrich with the Devil System!
43 43: Plan Worked!
Without further ado, Val trailed behind Reignarld as they descended from the terrace towards the grand chamber, his expression a tranquil mask.
As he made his way in, Val surveyed the gathered guests with a gaze of scrutiny before finally resting his gaze on his fiancee, Adelina Kendrick.
He had to say Adelina was undeniably a vision of ethereal beauty.
She was a living masterpiece that would make artists weep in despair. It was impossible to draw her on a piece of paper.
Her face was a perfect blend of symmetry and grace, with sparkling snowy white eyes and rosy lips that were perfectly sculpted into the shape of a cherry.
Her figure seemed to be the creation of a divine as it was generously sculpted and adorned with curves so alluring that it would light the fire of lust in the coldest of hearts.
Her hips were wide and broad and tapered into a willowy waist that screamed fertility and an ability to bear healthy offspring for her future husband.
The dress she wore seemed as though it was woven with magic. The bodice clung to her curvaceous upper body, accentuating her slim waist and adding an extremely sensual definition to her shapely figure. The skirt flowed like a waterfall, flaring out dramatically, adding to her alluring aura. The lace patterns weaved intricately on her dress along with the extravagant embroidery of the dress glimmered under the chandelier's soft light, amplifying her regal appearance.
She exuded such a charm that it stirred a response even from the Chaotic Warlord Val, the unfeeling, whose heart was stoic as a granite wall.
The response was so little that it was almost nonexistent, but it spoke volumes.
What beauty had he not seen in his past life?
However, he could swear she was the most beautiful of them all.
The purity of her Kendrick bloodline was apparent in her ethereal beauty.
Furthermore, her bloodline was so pure that despite being Val's age, she had already upgraded her bloodline to the second level and become a level 2 bloodline User.
She didn't merely have a face and a body that could cause kingdoms to crumble; she was also incredibly talented.
She was a deadly combination of beauty, big boobs, and brains!
Consequently, she was esteemed not just in the outlands but also in the privileged circles of the inlands and the divine capital of the kingdom. Women of such striking beauty were a rare sight in this world, and those who could pair it with extraordinary talent and big boobs could be counted on one's fingers.
Such women were considered priceless treasures, the epitome of perfection, yearned for by many but obtained by only a lucky few.
And this precious jewel had been pledged to Val, a man who, in the public eye, had failed to awaken his bloodline and was a normie, a disgusting creature that shouldn't be allowed to breed.
This was bound to arouse jealousy and competition.
'It's such an absurd match. She's a star that could outshine the sun and he... He is a mere pebble. Being his fiancee is an injustice to her radiance.'
Seraphim couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment.
He thought it to be an immense waste to pair such an exceptional woman with a mere normie who was also an Outlander.
'Such a talented and beautiful person is meant for someone who's equal to her in every way, someone like me. After all, if she gets together with me, she'd have a king, but if she gets together with a loser like him, she would only suffer a loss. As a man, how can I let this happen? I must do something to break them and claim her as my own.'
The people present were unaware of Seraphm's disgusting thoughts. He was like a bastard lusting after a soldier's wife.
Val looked at his fiancee with a smile he had faked on his face. She watched as a light smirk graced Val's face as he complimented, "Adelina, your beauty has only grown since our last meeting."
She looked more like a woman who had undergone a thousand plastic surgery. She was indeed beautiful but she had gone too far in amplifying her innate gifts using magic and other stuff that could enhance one's beauty.
She appeared unnatural at least to Val's eyes, and it disgusted him.
He wasn't the only one disgusted.
His pleasantries were met with a frosty glare from Adelina.
This was the first time she had looked at him rudely ever since they were engaged.
They were engaged when they were still children by their fathers. Since then till now she had always fawned over him. When she was a kid, she wasn't this beautiful. It was clear to him, given their shared history, that this radiant beauty she now possessed was not entirely natural. It was achieved through unnatural means.
Anyways, throughout their shared history, she had always gone out of her way to serve him, hoping to capture his affection.
However, his responses to her advances had been consistent and disappointing.
He didn't love her and he was mature enough to tell that she didn't love him. It was merely a commercial marriage that the Kendricks were desperate to realize. Besides, she was upon him by the person he hated the most.
Thus, despite her relentless and desperate attempts, she had failed to win his heart.
There were no benefits he would gain from marrying her. The only ones who would be benefitting from this marriage would be his father and his father's friend.
Therefore, he never played along with her.
Now it seemed like it wouldn't be necessary!
"Val, I did not come here for casual chatter," Adelina retorted, her voice slicing through the tense silence like a sharp knife, intending to stab Val, but there was no response from him.
He looked at her from the high ground and smirked widely.
It was as if he was a watching a show!
Val said, "I think you've come here with a sinister agenda. Am I right?"
The Kendricks' expressions shifted at his words.
Detecting the sudden change, Joshua turned towards the Kendricks and queried, "Is that true?"
Cornered by Val's accusation, Adelina chose to reveal her true intentions. "Since you've already deduced it, there's no point in concealing it any longer. I want to annul our engagement, Val."
The atmosphere became frostier when Adelina voiced her intention to break the betrothal.
"Is this decision rooted in Val's inability to awaken his bloodline? Is he, being a 'normie,' the reason behind your actions?" Keeping his composure, Joshua sought clarification.
Lord Kendrick and Adelina exchanged a glance, before Lord Kendrick admitted, "Indeed, Joshua. It is as you say. We cannot allow Adelina to be betrothed to someone who cannot awaken their family bloodline. Our family's lineage is too precious to be diluted at the hands of a normie. I hope you understand."
'Fools.' Joshua cursed them in his mind.
Val had displayed that he had awakened as a powerful Bloodline User to the Whitemores by defeating four of his cousins, who were all at the first level.
Every Whitemore had bore witness to his prowess, one that towered over a common level 1 bloodline user.
Joshua who had seen him sweep the floor with the triples of the Whitemore knew that he was even stronger than a level 2 bloodline User. He attributed it to his strong bloodline, which caused him to awaken a powerful movement-type skill when he upgraded it to the second level. Oh, how wrong was he. With just a few words from Val, his misunderstandings had deepened. He didn't know that Val had the Blood Devil Bloodline coursing through his veins.
Anyway, every Whitemore knew that Val wasn't a normie.
Nonetheless, at Val's behest, Joshua had ensured that this news remained strictly within the family bounds.
He had even issued a stern warning, proclaiming a strict penalty for anyone who dared to divulge the secret.
Additionally, the absence of efficient and commonly available long-distance communication devices meant that even if the information did leak, it would trickle slowly throughout the kingdom.
As a result, it could take weeks or maybe even months before the neighboring strongholds could catch a whiff of Val's extraordinary strength.
Basically, Val's true potential was a secret closely guarded by the Whitemores.
Therefore, no one outside their family was aware of his true prowess!
This was done in order to see the true faces of the people acquainted with Val. He wanted to know how others such as his fiancee and his soon to be father-in-law would behave when he was at his worst.
And it was working as he had expected!
It really helped him avoid a pitfall this time.
Adelina was a beautiful woman, but her soul wasn't. Her interior was rotten. She was a materialistic person, who wouldn't hesitate to abandon a 12 year long relationship just to get with someone who could provide her with more.
Basically, she was a woman meant for the streets who had hidden her rotten heart under the mask of utter beauty and almost trapped Val.
However, with his deep and scheming mind, Val had uncovered what she was really like and a breakup was imminent!!!
