Time for dance arrived.
The men started to approach near to the women they had been eyeing to ask for dance. Some of the men were hesitantly staring at the Fifth Princess. Revealing how they required to ask her out for dance but were terrified by the aggressive Second Prince guarding her.
"Are you searching for your dream girl to sway to music, my dear Alek?" Asteria asked with a tiny smile at the sight of the man back facing her and peering at the crowd strangely. "No" sharply, Alek replied. Causing the young woman's brows to wrinkle in puzzlement.
Something was wrong. It felt odd since he did not even bother to turn over his shoulder to respond. He just peered at the crowd. What actually was running through this man's head right now? Poor Ria had no clue the reason beneath the behavior of the Second Prince.
