After all the debutantes were presented, as the host of the event, the king asked for the queen's hand for the opening dance. When the two of them reached the middle of the dance floor, the orchestra started playing.
Everyone watched as it was only once a year that the two would dance together.
While the two were dancing, they started their conversation which rarely happens given their relationship.
"You seem satisfied with my choice for our son." Edward V said.
"It's an advantageous match. Do you regret it?" Loretta said as if daring her husband.
Since Edward married the 2nd queen Floresca, the two of them have been at odds. Loretta knew that the reason why Edward chose the daughter of Duke Maxwell initially was because she has been eyeing the daughter of Duke Argent Cross, the only duke aside from Grand duke Charles who still holds a significant military power in the kingdom, for her son.
