"Look at them"
"That's Lady Brandotte and who is that person?"
"Looks like Vice Principal Adzer's female student"
"Female practitioner? So it's a woman, not a man?"
"She's wearing a men's tuxedo but not a dress? It's weird"
"But I see, they're gorgeous."
"You're right, I'm still attracted."
Ignoring the gossip of the people in the party, Orien and Lize dance enthusiastically to the tune of the music. It was as if the whole world was just the two of them.
Orien didn't expect Lize to be able to dance so smoothly, not wrong at all. Although she had danced in mid-air at the academy, she didn't expect Lize's skills to be so good. This made her feel very happy and satisfied.
"Orien, are you ready?" - Lize
With that slogan, Orien showed a bright smile.
"Yes, I'm ready" - Orien
"Let's Spread Your Wings" - Lize
After saying that both Orien and Lize slowly ascended into the air while still dancing together, the guests who saw that immediately exclaimed at the two of them. The music got faster and faster, and they danced to the beat, until Lize let go of Orien's hand and landed first to let the person on the air move on their own. Orien continued to dance and unleashed her wind elemental power, the bells in the mansion tinkled, she slowly landed and placed her hand on Lize's hand below.
The guests clapped loudly for their performance, Orien and Lize bowed politely, exchanged smiles, and left.
Orien is back with her parents, who are very proud of their daughter. Now Orien will officially become one of the academy's best wind elemental magicians.
It seemed that Lize's mission was partially successful, she took a glass of fruit juice on the banquet table and sipped it. Raising the glass of water in front of his eyes, he saw the prince talking to the noble nobles, in order to attract as many subordinates as he could.
Just as the prince turned towards Lize, he walked over with a trademark smile on his lips.
"This lady, can you dance with me?" - Damen
"Oh my, shouldn't a prince's dance be danced with some lady more noble than me?" - Lize
"Actually, that noble lady is in front of me"- Damen
"Truly flirting"- thought Lize
"You say that makes me a bit concerned, unfortunately I'm wearing a tuxedo, so it's not suitable to dance with you" - Lize
Putting down the glass of juice, the prince grabbed Lize's hand, startling her a little. That is the act of touching another person without that person's permission.
"It's okay, you can't refuse the invitation of the royal family. That's impolite" - Damen
Lize heard Treachery's cursing in her head, she understood just how much a part of her loathed the prince. If that's the case, why don't you put on one last play before the curtain ends.
The two of them stepped out into the middle of the great hall that became the focus of everyone's attention, but it seemed the atmosphere had also changed strangely. Lize ignored the prince who was enticing her to dance with her, while his eyes were always fixed on Lize.
"You really are very strange, why are you dressed like that? Is it possible that someone ruined the dress I sent you last time?" - Damen
She turned to the prince, pretending to be innocent and ignorant.
"Oh, so it was a gift from the prince to me? Honestly, I thought I sent the wrong gift so I gave it to someone else" - Lize
She actually threw the dress in the trash and burned it, she knew it was a gift from the prince to her, it was a dress with lots of diamonds and all kinds of decorations. Come to think of it, that outfit was very funny, if she put it on it would be nothing more than decorative tinfoil.
"Maybe it's because I didn't clearly write a business card on it, so it's understandable that you gave it to someone else. But you can go to the palace, just tell the guard that you're my fiancé"- Damen
"That's disrespectful to your current fiancé. I can't use that noble title" - Lize
"No need to worry, because today you will officially become my fiancée" - Damen
With that, the prince let go of her hand and walked up the steps and turned back towards the great hall. The servant saw this and knocked on the glass, making a sound that attracted everyone's attention.
"Thank you to everyone who came to this special occasion, for many years, the element of wind has always been a gift from the gods...." - Damen
While the prince was babbling about stories from far away, Orien walked towards Lize. Looking like he was enjoying the party just now, Orien's face turned quiet, that smile still on his lips. Lize gently took Orien's hand.
"It's okay, no matter what, this is your life. Not the characters in the novel. To be honest, I feel it's a bit uncomfortable to follow the plot in the novel, why? we have to do it while we can get away with it" - Lize
"Lize..." - Orien
"I don't need that happy ending that makes others feel unfair. Moreover, a lavish life and built-in love don't even need it" - Lize
Orien's small hand squeezed Lize's hand lightly.
"….I really thank you for all this time, Lize"- Orien
"Orien Brandotte!"
Hearing the prince's voice calling to Orien, they looked up to see the prince pointing his finger at her.
"How dare you blatantly bully me while I'm preaching? You've lost control of your behavior more and more, today I will end this here" - Damen
A royal servant brought the prince a special scroll of parchment reserved only for royalty, which he opened and read the words.
"Orien Brandotte because of the violent actions in the school that made Lize always obey her orders. From today, I officially annulled my marriage to you, exiled the Brandotte family, stripped of the title of nobility. I choose Lady Lize, to be my new fiancée" - Damen
The statement made anyone who heard it stir.
"I object!"
Suddenly, there was a voice of protest that silenced everyone, the one who protested was none other than Lize. This surprised the prince and Orien.
"Why? Why do you object?" - Damen
"Because I find it completely wrong what you said. If Orien really bullied me, do you have any proof?" - Lize
"I have proof of course, bring proof here!" - Damen
A servant brought out the letters in envelopes carefully and showed them to Lize, and Orien immediately recognized the Brandotte family's wax seal. Lize took out a few letters to read, which contained defamatory and malicious content about her, alluding to all unscrupulous words.
Her eyebrows furrowed and she turned to the prince who was smiling proudly.
"Do you seriously think this is proof? They're all fakes"- Lize
"What? That wax seal is unmistakable even in writing! It must be Orien's, because only aristocrats can own those wax seals"- Damen
"But I don't think so. The wax seal can also be faked because I smelled something like a flute candle, rather, I found as many as ten errors in each of the letters. An aristocrat like Lady Orien couldn't make that many mistakes. Moreover, Lady Orien often had the habit of drawing something at the end of each letter, a habit that only Lady Orien had. , please verify it yourself"- Lize
Hearing that, the prince ordered the servants to look at every detail that Lize said, and when they finished the test, they all nodded.
"Just like what Lady Lize said, all the letters don't look like what Lady Orien wrote."
Hearing that the prince was surprised, Orien breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to Lize, her bangs covering her eyes but showing a mysterious smile.
"Your Highness, there is a saying in the world 'don't be fooled by the look.' Before you decide to do something decisive, think about the consequences first. What you just did carelessly, annulled the engagement with a noble lady like Orien, now giving false evidence in front of everyone is nothing but humiliating yourself? I think you should punish the people who told you to. Oh, I forgot, they were here, waiting for a good scene, but it didn't go as planned." - Lize
The tone of Lize's voice suddenly changed, maybe everyone here didn't notice, but Orien saw Lize's eyes light up. She was told, when her eyes lit up it wasn't Lize, but a part of her self.
"Treachery" - Orien
"That's right" - Treachery
