Once we enter I got nervous, there's too many people looking at us and I'm not use to. But Cecis (I can call her that now!) pinch me and I remembered all the things she teach me how to conduct myself. To be a man worthy of her I need to try harder. Relaxing and open the smile we trained I lead her to a corner of the hall.
Not long after we arrived her ex fiancée and his lover arrived. As I looked at them I saw the Prince looking at Cecis and staring at her.
Before my mind could process anything my body moved and I hugged Cecile by the waist.
The Prince has to take his eyes away because his lover pulled him. But... what exactly I'm doing will she blame me?
But oppose to my anxiety, she silently stayed in my arms.
Does it mean she accepts me?
Unfortunately, she took my hand out of her waist and took my arm once again.
"Leo, lets go to. The dessert table I'm a bit hungry"
"Okay"
Seeing her eat gives me a kind of pleasure that I never felt. Actually anything she does gives me a emotion that is new for me.
"Bunny-Chan you are here"
Bunny? Who's this guy? Don't you see she is with me.
As he openly flirted with MY companion we were interrupted by the Prince's lover that almost hit us.
After I took us out of her way she even had the audacity to complain.
'Is this girl crazy?'
Just after her arrival her lover came and stared at Cecile. Again she is MY companion. What is with these guys staring at Cecile like this? You already have your lover take your dirty eyes of her.
Although we don't have any relationship besides of employer and employee their eyes irked me to no end.
As the Prince questioned our relationship I had to control every cell of my body to stay silent so as not to be rude to this scum.
What right does this man have to question poor Cecile after everything he put her through over the pass year?
The dog couple was not satisfied in only disgusting us with words so they resolved to kiss in front of her!
'I can't beat them, I can't beat them, I can't beat them, I can't beat them'
I repeated to my face over and over to not rush and punch the future King.
-pinch-
"Sorry Cecis. I couldn't control."
"That's alright I understand "
I just hope they quickly leave here.
We were saved by the announcement that the King and Queen arrived. The rude woman dragged the scum. Could not had appeared in front of us at all if you ask me.
As she bid goodbye to Lukas-sama, she said that if he wants she can be his bride making me baffled.
You are kidding right? What is even so good about that playboy? Miss Cecile is so perfect that such a person can't possible match her.
"Would you really be his bride?"
I blurted out my thoughts.
"Impossible"
*sigh* yeah why I'm getting work up with? She was trying to console her friend, it's impossible for her to be attracted to someone like that... right?
Because Cecile need to greet with her family I stayed alone for a time.
"Do you like her?"
Lukas-Sama appeared by my side.
"It has nothing to do with, does it Lukas-sama?"
"Maybe"
What do you mean maybe? Do you also like her? Didn't you like that disgusting woman?
"Relax puppy I only came to warn you that if you want her you need to take down many obstacles. Well, that the best man win I guess?"
Saying so he left.
What do you mean obstacles? And the best man wins? Didn't you chase the Prince's lover minutes ago? Leave Cecis alone!
After Cecis came back we started to chat, but not long after the music started and the first couple started to dance. Seeing her looking fixedly at them, I went to get some desserts to cheer her up a bit.
Once I turned back, I saw the 2nd Prince taking her to dance, and even if I hate him right now I must say that they were truly beautiful dancing. Finishing their performance they came to where I am.
I need to separate them.
"Cecis here is water"
"Thank you Leo. Won't you dance too?"
"I don't know to. Could you teach me?"
Since I can't compare to the Prince William I will pretend to be a beginner.
"She just finish dancing, she's tired" "Sure wait a second"
"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"
'Yes, please don't meddle'
Thinking so I took her hand and guided her to the venue.
When we enter the venue I brought her close to me, because I said I'm a beginner I can just say that I didn't now the right distance right?
'She smells so nice'
"First follow my tempo, then try to conduct me"
As we started to dance I purposely made some errors to support my white lie and 'improved' as we danced.
Unfortunately the music didn't took long to finish and I had to let go of her.
"Sorry for the bother"
"No, I had fun"
If you had fun nothing else matters.
"I'm glad if it is true. They are starting to serve the food lets sit down"
"En"
Going back to my house I thought of all the the new emotions I felt and Lukas-sama
What obstacles could he possibly mean?
I turned the light off and shook off disturbing thoughts. Let's see that smile once more tomorrow to refill my fight spirit.
