"I heard the Mcdaniel family's Great Demon King is at this party too. He's up in the private lounge, right?"

"Yeah, but it's not like just anyone can get up there. I'd love to see what he actually looks like; there isn't a single photo of him online."

"That's the confidence of a winner, I guess-doesn't care about being in the spotlight. He's in a whole different league compared to Neville."

Bonnie told the story with such flair that Maeve couldn't help but be intrigued. "And then? Did the younger son win like everyone expected?"
