A young girl 18 years old around 170 cm with short purple hair that was tied into a very beautiful decorative style,wearing a light blue formal dress that outlined her curves with a captivating pair of purple eyes was sitting inside a flying car with an irritated expression
suddenly the driver said
"Young lady were arriving,"
She slightly tilted her head and looked outside
a very large villa on top of a hill with many glowing lights and cars around it soon came into her view
Thinking about how she ended up coming to this ball pissed her off even more with clenched fists
She was thinking about her father
"That annoying old man, i swear ill make you regret this!"
'Threatening me with cutting off funds for my researchs just wait until i get stronger ill wipe that smirk off of your face!'
Her father Marquise Berkeley two days ago barged into her laboratory and asked her to attend a ball but she refused and an hour later a letter came to her with seal of Marquise stating that her funds were cut off
Soon, the car landed in front door
She got off car and the first thing she saw was numerous ladies with their partners escorting them towards the villa
for unknown reasons, this even pissed her off more
Suddenly, someone called out to her
"Sophie, is that you!?"
'Ah, not her goddammit!'
She turned around with forced smile and looked at a couple, hands locked walking towards her although the girl wasn't that remarkable but her partner was decent
"Hello Stella fancy seeing you here
"You too, Sophie. i hope you're doing well,"
After exchanging some formalities, Stella noticed that Sophia was alone
with a sneer, she said
" You dont have a partner Sophie..oh where are my manners let me introduce you to my partner for tonight. Andrew, this is Sophie, one of my friends."
The man beside her took the initiative and kissed the back of Sophie's hand with a meaningful look, which disgusted Sophia
"It's nice to meet you, young lady Berkeley. i heard a lot about you from Stella,"
Sophie, with a stiff smile, replied
"Yes, me and Stella have known each other for quite some time
"Yes anyway, Sophie, are you alright alone?
i mean, if you want, i can find someone to accompany you. "
She secretly pointed towards some unknown guys on the corner
Sophia, which couldn't take this anymore
"You're so kind, Stella, but i came here for some private business, not having fun, so if you excuse me, I'll be on my way."
Sophia, without waiting for her reply, quickly turned around and left
'This frigging snake!! just wait until i find someone handsome. Even if i have to pay them money, I'll embarrass you!'
Sophia, with an annoyed expression, walked gracefully towards the villa and entered the massive hall filled to the brim with nobles
She went towards two seats and paid her respects to Marquise Lorraine,since her father is the same rank as him she didn't need to bow
However, she needed to congratulate his daughter on coming of age ceremony
Soon Her captivating curves quickly did the job for her and brought many nobles wishing to accompany her for tonight
After refusing all of them, which didn't meet her standards, she quickly found a spot to drink some wine when she heard some whispers among the ladies
"Have you heard this time someone from the Duke family is invited?
"Yes, i heard it, but do you think someone with such a status will attend this ball?
"Of course not, but it's Duke Lancester we're talking about. It's a maybe,but
what if... It's Young master Aamon. Maybe he will come
"Oh, even if he attends, do you think he will dance with you?
"Huh, what do you mean? Am i not attractive enough
"No, not that, but as long as im here, he wouldn't even look at anyone
"You devil!"
Then, the sound of them giggling soon followed
Sophia heard their conversation and got interested. Even if she wasn't interested in partying and dancing, she heard some rumors about him
His talent in Swordmanship and magic has made him quite popular,they already call him the future swordmaster of Lancester duchy
'Hmph, I bet his one of those arrogant bastards that thinks world revolves around them'
Then a loud announcement came, which surprised her a little. She looked over
"The heir to Lancester duchy!!
Aamon Lancester has arrived!!"
This arrival surprised many nobles they didn't expect that someone of a higher nobility would attend this ball they all looked over
A young man wearing a Gray suit,a red necktie and a long coat on his shoulder slowly walked in,his ashen blue hair combed to his left and a pair mesmerizing light blue eyes coupled with a noble demanour gave him an otherworldly feeling
Nearly everyone was looking in her direction, and soon whispers were heard
Sophia, which was stunned by his looks and temperment, still stared at him for quite some time before noticing his gaze on her
'Huh, am i overthinking, or is he looking at me?'
She realized his mistake and turned her head sideways to hide the red haze on her face
'Huuuh, nobody said his that handsome!'
Aamon's POV
As soon as i walked in, i noticed many gazez on me it gave me a feeling that me, being here was out of the norm
My attention quickly went towards a corner of the hall where a short girl with purple hair was spacing out
I quickly recognized her
'Sophia Berkeley, the future sword king of Kreoris empire,she will be hailed as one of the strongest warriors in the history of mankind'
I retracted my gaze and slowly walked down towards the Marquise and his daughter, who were equally surprised as others
Noticing me coming down, all the nobles performed a respectful bow
i went towards Marquise Lorraine and his daughter to congratulate him
With a bow, Marquise and his daughter stood up
"Young duke Aamon its an honor to have you here tonight
I smiled lightly
"The pleasure is all mine,i found it difficult not to attend such a joyous occasion,"
Then we exchanged some formalities
After that, many other nobles, male and female, approached me to strike a conversation
'Well, I've known as the perfect noble in this circle'
After some time and talking with many nobles with different agendas, i got quite tired after some chit-chat. i quickly went towards the balcony
I pushed open the doors and walked towards the guard rail, and leaned on it
The moonlight was very bright, unlike my previous world there are two moons in the sky
Thinking about this, i remembered a poem of my previous world
"The full moon
Breaks the blanket of black
And stars sweep the sky
Illuminating
The lonely path to dawn"
I took a deep breath,air inside felt so stuffy that i couldn't take it anymore . Talking with so many nobles and expanding my connection is a very tiresome thing
As i heard someone gasping behind me, i quickly turned around and saw someone that i didn't expect at all
"Ah...i-im sorry, Young master Aamon, i didn't mean to.."
As she started explaining, i smiled lightly
"It's alright, lady Berkeley,i understand
"O-okay,...can i accompany young master for what happened?
"Yes,i was getting tired of being alone
"Then excuse me."
With that, she walked a couple of steps away from me, looking at the sky
"I didn't know that young master Aamon also writes poems
"I dont, i heard this from a friend of mine. He was a very passionate writer
"If I'm not being rude, can I ask where is your friend, with his poems he should be very famous
"his in somewhere very far away, we're world apart,"
After this, we talked about some random things
Suddenly, the sound of music came from inside
I saw how she was fiddling with her little fingers, seemingly trying to ask me something
but this damned bodies traits wouldn't let me ignore this,
sigh~.. I put on my black half gloves,and with a polite gesture of hand, i said
"Lady Berkeley, would you give me the honor of dancing with me"
I observed her, and her stunned face was quiet an spectacle,like she didn't expect me to give her this offer
"Y-yes"
I took her hand, which was quite small, and slowly walked towards the ballroom
Many women were starting daggers at her if eyes could kill she would have died many times by now
This body has learned many kinds of dances: tango, rumba,waltz, quickstep,and others, but it should be alright if i tease her a little
I started my dance with waltz, which is usually used in weddings. Her movements weren't half bad, but i decided to change things a little
I used an aggressive style of Tango dance and took the lead,in this kind of dance woman is displayed more then man, im the frame and she is the picture,i control her, like a rock to woman act like water around me, strong and confident yet secure enough to be gentle and tender
I heard many nobles talking and whispering
"Wow, is that even possible?
"Look at young master Aamon wow!
"Compared to her, isn't that lady quite sloppy?
"Yes, but his moves are so domineering that she can't resist him at all
"His so aggressive!"
I took a sneak peek at her face while dancing,she was beet red with shame
has she didn't expect this?
the more I moved, the more her breathing became rough she was already out of breath, but still,her dignity or maybe pride didn't let her falter
Then, after another move, i ended this dance, which made all the stage empty for us,with a slight bow towards each other
We separated
the sound of claps filled the hall, which surprised me a little
clap!! clap!! clap!! clap!!
After that dance, it didn't take long for the ceremony to end , i was about to leave when Sophia approached me
"Young master Aamon
"Lady Berkeley, i hope that i didn't make you uncomfortable with my dance
"N-no, not at all,im just curious
"About what?
"Dose young master Aamon planning to attend Royal Academy?"
I put on my business smile this dumb girl dose she think that anybody would give up this chance
"Yes lady Berkeley i'll be attending. i can't miss this chance, can i?"
She muttered something under her breath, which i couldn't hear clearly
"Then i hope we meet again
"Yes, i hope so."
Then we bid each other goodbye. i quickly left since i was very tired from all the work I've done
'sigh~being a Villain is very hard'
