Walking behind Mother and Father, I started to analyze today's royal attire.
His Majesty has a similar uniform to Scum Prince, but his is black. By his side is Her Majesty, with a burgundy dress with golden details, Her Majesty is beautiful as always. And behind her is someone I didn't see for a long time.
Wearing the royal attire in the same color as his mother's dress is the Second Prince William. Although we cannot be said to be friends we were always in friendly terms, but after Julia appeared we met less and less. He is one of the few bachelors at our age that never chased Julia or was close to her. If he was not Albert's brother I'm sure he would be at the top of Mother's 'son-in-law to be' list.
And of course by his side is the couple that everybody loves.
"Good evening Your Majesties and Your Highnesses, The Dubois Family hopes that you are all fine"
Us three bowed to the Royal Family.
"Ceci-Chan you are here!"
Without waiting for her husband to talk the Queen grabbed my hand and brought me to her.
"Is this one of the dresses that will be available in your store? Is so beautiful, of course the model also helps. It seems that I will have to go incognito there. Also the tea blend that you sent by Albert is the final product of our little experiment right? It was delicious does, but it sell it well?
I envied Albert so much that he went to the opening mon~"
Yes, my ex mother-in-law and I are friends. She helped me test many products and gave many ideas. Also she always gave tips on how to make hell training become just a hard training. She is one of the few thing I miss about my engagement.
"Is Laura also dressed by your brand? Next time be sure to send me the catalog so that I can chose a few for me. Also Ceci-chan I miss the pastries that you brought with you. Even if you got rid of that dead weight you must still visit me otherwise I'll be lonely you know?"
The dead weight... this your son My Queen.
"I missed you too, after my stores are open I'll go and bring our novelties"
"En, is promised then"
I smiled at the Queen's friendly demeanor. Honestly I was afraid that after breaking my engagement I would loose our precious relationship.
"Alas. Auntie is sorry for you, if not the stinky brat bad eyes how could I loose my dream daughter?"
Queen although I'm delighted to hear your praises, your daughter to be is behind you and your elder son looks really ugly right now.
"But thank god I gave birth to two sons. I know the first one was bad, but I promise the second is good. He is handsome and smart, 1st place of the class, and is not close to any females. You may be wondering if he is gay, but auntie tested and he is 100% straight. Also he loves all the things that Ceci-chan creates, he sometimes sneakily steal come of the things you gave me, and.."
"Mother enough! You will make Cecis uncomfortable"
William interrupted the Queen's rant.
"Are you sure not talking about you?"
The Queen teased her youngest son who is like a tomato now.
"Hoho, I didn't now you like my inventions Prince William, I will surely send you a special packet later"
"Oh Ceci-Chan what a great idea! Perhaps this way he will stop taking mine"
"Mother please stop teasing me"
I smiled at their funny interaction. If only my fiancée was William from the beginning... alas.
"You must be sure to share with your aides and help me advertise my merchandise. Also 2 days from now I will open a restaurant, although not very noble like I feel that you will like."
Why would I feel that way? Because the man in front of me has a black role in the place of his stomach. He eats sooo much that is frightening.
"Oh it seems our time is up Ceci-Chan. Don't forget to visit me later"
After bowing we left the royal family that started to talk with another household.
"I'm back Leo"
"Is good to be back"
30 minutes after we started to chat a music made her way through the hall.
The first couple in the venue was Prince Albert and Miss Julia. Although they were beautiful dancing together my mind couldn't gloss over the errors:
'Wrong tempo'
'Wrong posture'
'Put your left arm down'
Suddenly a hand appeared in front of me
"Could you grant me this dance my flower of the society?"
Unexpectedly the owner of the hand was Second Prince William. I looked around but Leo was nowhere in sight.
"It would be my pleasure"
I said taking his hand.
As we enter the venue we slightly bowed to each other and started to dance on the opposite side of the other couple.
To my surprise Will was actually a better dancer than Scum Prince.
Because we started to get excited with each other's dance level, we started to perform more complex movements. When the music stop we were slightly out of breath. While bowing to each other the thunderous applauses sound through the hall.
We were so focused on our dance that we didn't realize that the Scum couple stoped dancing before us, and there was only us on the venue.
Bowing to our audience, Will escort me out of the venue.
"It seems that I need to send a very special gift for you "
I said teasing William. It's been a long time since I danced to my content like today and this made me somehow look at William in a different light.
"I'll be waiting"
"Cecis here is water"
Separating me and Will, Leo gave me a cup of water.
What a good secretary you are Leo.
"Thank you Leo. Won't you dance too?"
"I don't know to. Could you teach me?"
"She just finish dancing, she's tired" "Sure wait a second"
As me and Will answer at the same time I looked weirdly at him as the good impression toned down.
Aren't your control too wide pal? Sure enough they are brothers.
"Worry not, I still can dance all night. Come Leo. If you excuse us Your Highness. I will be sending your present tomorrow, look forward to it"
I politely answered William and took Leo's hand.
Now, I need to teach this baby how to dance.
"What dance do you know?"
"Basic valse"
"Ok, let's begin"
Holding me a bit too close that I can smell the IP perfume I gave him, Leo started to dance.
"First follow my tempo, then try to conduct me"
Because of our closeness it will be easier for him to feel the tempo So I will leave like that
After some mistakes he finally got it.
By the time the music ended he was already guiding up to my standards.
You are fast learner aren't you?
"Sorry for the bother"
"No, I had fun"
"I'm glad if it is true. They are starting to serve the food lets sit down"
"En"
After enjoying a nice dinner, both our families went to their respective house.
And this closes the night that I laughed in the face of destiny.
