Wuuhhh??
I was thinking if this was a dream. Did I just talk to Jennet? Like I only misunderstood of her as Jennet but actually was a different person.
But looking back, I confirmed that she was no other than Jennet.
Jennet was going to the dance hall with duke Alfius. What did you guys talk about that you both are so silent?
What way was the story flow in the novel. Anyways Jennet"s eye colour probably looks like that do to magic, right? Maybe they"ll go up to Claude some time and be like TDa! And show it and get adored.
I moves in order to find Claude.
Lots of ladies going to the dance hall was seen as now it was the time to dance freely.
There were no one who asked me for a dance but my interest wasn"t on that so it was fine.
I actually wanted to meet Claude. Because I wanted to confirm something from him.
But another person stopping me from doing that was faster.
"Princess Atanasia."
Honestly I could always ignore it. But the sound of my name just made me stop in place.
"Lady angel."
I knew that voice. Since I"ve heard the gentle voice which gives you the feeling of trust before. But what was awkward was my name coming out from it.
"Its the first time to meet formally like this."
I slowly turned my head to the person, and could meet with another person who thought of this as fate.
"It"s fine. Next time, I……."
"I"m Isekiel Alfius. And honor to meet you again."
"will be the one to find you first."
The smile surrounded by the white flowers last time appeared on his face again.
"Isekiel Alfius"
I slowly muttered the word he said. He probably couldn"t have heard such low voice but he smiled as if he heard it.
Isekiel Alfius. And my name is Atanasia De Eljeuh Obelia.
"Is it."
Today, the day we spoke what was within our hearts. He and I watched each other with a smile as if it was out first meeting.
"Nice to meet you. Sir Alfius."
***
Huhuhuhu.
What am I doing right now?
Step!
"Sor……."
"It"s fine."
Am I really dancing with Isekiel right now? It seems correct with this feeling of my foot severally touching the same place on the ground. Waaaack!
And this feeling wasn"t the first time I ft it. Isekiel said its fine before my apology as if he got used to it!
I bet I look so panicked right now. That"s probably why Isekiel is smiling warmly as if to relax!
I"ve only practiced a lot on the dance I was going to do with Claude that now I was doing a horrible job with dancing with Isekiel.
So why did you ask me for a dance! It would"ve been better if we said h.e.l.lo then beautifully part our ways!
But me who accepted it was also a problem.
B-but the scene was like one of the scene in the fairy tale story book that O couldn"t refuse.
Think about it. Under the sparkling chandelier stands a well-dressed prince with the golden eyes and silver hair proposing you for a dance. That moment I felt like I was the protagonist of the story.
It was already too late when I got my mentality back as I was holding onto Isekiel"s hand, and now the people who stood watching us were whispering.
Kyaa, the power of the male lead"s buff! I started to follow the lead and dance, till not getting the situation. And it wasn"t so long when this happened.
"No need to worry. It"s nothing since you"re as light as a feather."
Sh, shoot. I stepped on him again. I just gave up now.
Claude, Jennet, and also Isekiel. Wjy am I so busy steppeing onto other people"s foot. Sob.
But, Isekiel seem to be teasing me from a while back now.
"Then why don"t you just ignore it?"
Its more gentlemanly to ignore the part where theblady stepped on his foot!
But Isekiel was keep on saying those words which made me more embarrased. It might just be me but still!
"I will from now on if the princess asks for."
See! Look! He"s still smiling like nothing had happened!
Kyaa. Yeah. Atlanta and even Obelia. It must not be his first time dancing if he leads so well, but he must find it funny that it"s probably his first time with a stepping foot partner. Wahh. From that reason, I"m done for.
"I heard that his majesty cares for the princess a lot."
But just then, I could hear Isekiel"s sarcastic laugh.
"It was true when people said no one could overcome the burden of your relations.h.i.+ps."
I frowned, not understanding what he was talking about.
"The gaze on my back is more painful than the foot you stepped on."
Hearing Isekiel"s words, I tunred my head to see. Only then I could stop breathing out of shock.
"Gasp."
Wha, wha, what"z that, that gaze! He could kill a person with that gaze!
That"s definately Claude. More decorated hair, crystal blue eyes s.h.i.+ning under the light, and that uniform!
I"m sure he"s the Claude I was trying to find but why is he staring at us like this?
"It seems like his majesty doesn"t want to hand his daughter on to another"s hand yet."
H-hey. It can"t be that. Of course not.
I kept on staring at that person far away.
Eek, it seems like he written that he is very unpleasant on his forehead for everyone to know.
I-it can"t be me seeing things that people close to Claude are slowly sneaking away. I was finding him befor Isekiel appeared.
I spoke after clearing throat.
"It"s probably his majesty"s interest towards you since the sir duke Alfius talked about you a lot in front of him."
Or the duke Alfius did something to Claude that made him mad. Or if not, it"s probably just because Claude hates the duke.
anyways, it shouldn"t be because of me dancing with Iselkiel!
"As for me, I was waiting to see the princess. I heard that the princess"s compliments everywhere."
I mean, this person. His word services are like the duke…….
Our eyes suddenly met with each others and we smiled. We probably looked like we were friends to others eyes. But this was pretending.
"You are more than the compliments from the others."
Forget about me, but Isekiel could smile like this too. I saw him in his real smile before so I knew right away that this was his fake smile.
"Same for me, I"m surprised to see that famous Isekiel Alfius."
We were both acting as if we didn"t meet each others at Isekiel"s place.
So he knew from the start, my ident.i.ty. Well. It would be weirder if he didn"t realize it.
Isekiel heard my words and reacted to it by smiling. Ah, this is his real smile.
Step!
And I ended up stepping onto his foot again. Me who froze still smiling, and him whose smile gotten deeper.
"I"ll ignore that from now on."
"……."
"So you can be comfortable moving wherever."
"……."
……Is there really no mouse hole? Didn"t I say I want one?
I hoped that the song would end soon.
***
"It finished."
Wahh! Finally free! Of course Isekiel should be the one to say this. Wahh, wahh. This song was longer than the others, good job enduring the pain. Sob.
"Even though I want another dance with you."
I was surprised at his words.
I-it"s half hearted words, right? That"s a lie, right? Since your foot isn"t made of stone? Ahaha. How good at lying he is, being duke Alfius"s son.
"I will wait for the next chance."
"Yes. That"s a great idea."
I quickly agreed before I had to dance again with him. Then Isekiel smiled faintly.
Yeah. Laugh, laugh all you want. Wahh. I don"t know when my dancing skills complimented by Madam Pondafyu got this bad.
Wah, Waaaah. I"m going to learn dancing again. I"m going to kick my blankets lots today!
"It was an honor to be with the princess on the princess"s precious time."
Isekiel formally greeted goodbye holding my one hand. Kyaa. This is a masterpiece. I know now why all the girls made a fuss about it. Go Isekiel! Number one rated best future husband Iseki…….
