In the middle of the ballroom, two stars dancing. yes, literally stars.
Their movements were in perfect sync as they stared into each other's eyes the entire time.
All the others who were dancing with them stopped and merged into the crowd to watch Alan's and Lucy's mesmerizing dance performance.
Victoria and Ashley joined their families who were standing beside William and Catherine who were in the front row watching.
Alan didn't mind the people watching and continued with what he was doing.
Lucy was embarrassed but she didn't want to miss a chance to get close to Alan.
With every second that passed their faces drifted closer to each other, and Lucy's face was beat red.
Now their lips were just two inches away. Lucy's breathing became unsteady. Her body wasn't in her control.
Badump!
Badump!
Her heart could burst any moment now. Even if she had to die now, she would happily die after kissing Alan's pink lips.
Victoria who was seeing this stamped the ground in frustration. Whereas Ashley.
Poofff
She had punched her father's gut out.
They were not angry at Alan, but rather at themselves for giving away this golden opportunity to Lucy.
Alan was attracted by Lucy's juicy lips. It was plump and pink. He wanted to just eat her lips now.
Lucy sensed Alan staring at her lips. She closed her eyes and leaned in for a kiss… in front of everyone.
'Yes, I am going to get it Hehe he' she just thought to herself when her eyes were closed.
"Ah"
swish!
Alan caught her waist and spun her in the air before catching her like a princess.
Everyone clapped at this wonderful performance.
But Lucy,
"Ehh…" she was a little disappointed. She wanted him so badly. She frowned and looked frustrated.
It changed immediately when she realized Alan was caring for her like a princess.
He slowly let her down but she never left Alan's hand but instead held it even tighter.
Alan looked at her with a shocked reaction, he didn't know why she was acting weird.
"… may I kno- "just when Alan was about to ask Lucy who she was.
William spoke out loud to the guests "Hello everyone, I duke William am grateful for everyone's presence today.
His eyes were locked on Alan as he continued "As you can see my son has woken up from a coma and is completely fine now"
"That was one reason for arranging a party and the other reason is" William looked at Victoria and Ashley with a warm smile.
When they noticed William's smile, they took a step forward holding their hand.
They took a glimpse at Alan and blushed.
"Huh?" Alan looked at Victoria and Ashley with a confused expression. He didn't know what was going on at all.
And why they were blushing.
'They were acting weird since morning'
First, they hated each other like they were sworn enemies, and the next day they acted like sisters for eternity.
Sigh!
'I can't understand women at all' Alan sighed visibly.
"Now I would like to announce to everyone" he pointed his hand at Victoria and Ashley "These two beautiful angles here are my son's 'Fiancées'"
He asserted when he said 'fiancées.
Everyone looked at Alan with a shocked expression, not because he has recovered but he is getting not one but two beauties as fiancées.
People were gossiping among themselves.
The boys in the hall were literally crying invisible blood.
Not to boycott the girls, they felt like they were widowed. They had just found a goal in their life, a goal with 'X' number of obstacles.
X= it denotes their rivals, for your kind information.
But now it was shattered into million pieces.
A Dangerous aura left Lucy, she was similar to the other girls. just when she was happy about getting closer to Alan and planned to go out on a date with him…
A bomb is dropped on her head.
She gritted her teeth.
"Why why no no I can't give in like other girls, he is mine -mine" she muttered to herself and glared at Alan's back.
Alan felt a shiver down his spine, he peeked at the corner of his eyes at Lucy.
She looked annoyed.
Her eyes weren't pretty, it wasn't the beauty he saw a minute ago.
Alan walked slowly and stood in front of his father.
"Father I am s-"Before he could finish his sentence he was interpreted.
"Hahahah" an irritating laugh was heard.
He looked behind and saw a boy with orange hair staring at him with animosity in his eyes.
He put on an annoyed smirk on his face and spoke glaring at Alan "He doesn't deserve any of them"
"He is weak and pitiful" he looked at the nobles behind him and continued "Who knows when he might fall back into a coma or"
His smile grew wider "Even die"
It was Jack, the son of a high noble. His father was Noran. Jack used to torment Alan when he was little. He never missed a chance to bully Alan and defame him.
Noran just stood behind without stopping his son from creating a massacre.
The nobles were shocked to see someone who dared to speak of the duke's son in front of him.
They turned to the duke to see his reaction but they were even more surprised now.
He just stood there with a neutral face not just the duke but Catherine too.
All the nobles knew how much she loved her son, if anyone dared to speak ill of her son she wouldn't just stand still.
In fact, she wouldn't hesitate even a second to cut off their heads. She wouldn't care who they were, even if it were the king, she would do the same.
But…
That kind of woman just stood still listening to some noble criticize her precious son.
They were more shocked to see her smiling. But a smile that screamed confidence.
What was she confident about, of course, her son? Alan was not the same Alan he used to be. His character was different. No not just different but totally opposite of what he was.
Sometimes his aggressiveness scared her, she felt he was not her son.
But once he looks at her with a loving smile and calls her mom. All her uneasiness flies away.
She looked at Alan's back and thought inwardly 'He is not a cub anymore but a lion'
Victoria and Ashley who heard this were raging with anger. They didn't want someone to disparage their future husband.
On the other hand, it was Lucy, she just woke up from her stupor and glared at Jack with killing intent with a weird smile appeared on her face 'I am going to kill him kill kill how dare he take about my husband'
When the three girls took a step forward at the same time.
Hahahha!
A loud laugh rang through the hall, it made sure to reach everyone's ears.
Alan was trying to contain his laughter but he couldn't.
He slowly removed his hand from his mouth revealing a weird crazy smile.
He took a step forward.
Thump!
Thump!
He released a dark weird aura as he walked towards Jack.
When Jack felt Alan's aura, his surroundings were covered with nothingness.
He turned and looked around but he couldn't see anyone but Alan who was walking towards him.
Alan's weird smile made Jack piss his pants. He fell on his back and slowly crawled back screaming.
"you devil… gasp g..get away from me "
Alan stopped walking and looked at everyone gathered in the hall with the same weird expression.
He turned to Jack immediately with a smirk on his face "You are not worthy to stand in front of me"
His smile grew.
"At first I wanted to kill you and your father who didn't teach you manners"
But…
He paused for a second and walked back to his father before saying "I don't want to dirty my hands slaughtering a bunch of pigs"
"How dare you call me a pig" Noran launched himself towards Alan while activating his water spell.
Alan didn't bother to look behind, these ungrateful pigs don't deserve his attention.
He pointed his finger behind him while facing his dad.
Zoommm
A lightning spark just left Alan's finger and struck Noran.
No one could see the lightning except William.
William flashed a smile 'His control is getting better'
"That was my weakest attack" Alan blurted it out but everyone heard what he said loud and clear.
No one knew what happened.
They only saw Noran lying on the ground unconscious with both his hands ripped off.
All the nobles were scared to death, they couldn't believe what they had witnessed...
They have only seen Alan as weak and pitiful. Even then they made his life horrible.
Now they know it was not the same Alan they used to know. They didn't want to mess with him anymore.
They slowly moved out of the hall without making much noise.
Jack took his father with the help of the maids and left the hall.
Gulp!
Adam and Daniel gulped visibly; they couldn't believe Alan just took out a water mage with three mana circles with a single strike.
'Lightning was called the strongest element was not just a rumour. It was an undeniable truth'
The hall was wiped clean, there was no one present except his family and special guests and…
Alan immediately felt someone pulling his shirt from behind.
He frowned and turned his head.
Smooch!
