Chapter 60: Enchanting
Is this guy the sa Night that told
not to garner attention? "Are you okay?" I couldn’t help but ask him that. "Don’t you hate ? Are you doing this to make
suffer?" I’m scared he’s being good to
because he’ll be extra an to
as soon as we get married.
"Why? Do you prefer the cold and snob type?"
I gaped. I didn’t expect Night to say sothing like this, nor smile like this. "Stop playing with . It’s not going to work." After saying that, Night suddenly pulled
closer to him until our faces were only inches away. Everyone’s looking at us, and I can’t move because he grabs my waist.
"Everyone’s looking at us. You said not to garner attention." I frowned. This isn’t like him. What happened to this cold and petty jerk? Is he really going to play with ?
"I changed my mind." Huh?! "I’ll do whatever I want."
Due to annoyance, I stepped on his foot purposively, but he chuckled, causing my eyes to open wide. "W-W-What is wrong with you?" If it’s the normal him, he’ll scowl at
and glare with those deadly eyes.
"That didn’t hurt."
I gaped again. "Who are you, and what did you do to the real Night?" The music made
unable to hear what he said next, but he was smiling at . It was weird, and I didn’t know what to say. I stared at his face until the music stopped, and he moved away from .
’What was that? Am I dreaming? Am I still in that hole? Did I lose consciousness due to the impact?’ I started slapping my face to wake myself up from this nightmare.
"Hey!" But Andy grabbed my hand and stopped
from slapping my face. "What? You can’t believe that the Night Fuentes you’ve been obsessing over danced with you?" He chuckled, which made
pinch his cheeks instead.
"Ow! Ow!"
What? "I’m not dreaming?"
Andy removed my hands from his cheeks. "You’re not! And it hurts." He said. I’m really not dreaming. Then why was Night acting like that? "Oh? Looks like Kaoru’s here to ask you for a dance too." Kaoru stood beside , but it wasn’t because he asked
to dance. ’It’s probably because he’s keeping his eyes on .’
"I-I’m done dancing now."
Andy snickered. "Bet you are. You already danced with your crush, after all." I ignored him and walked towards the seat away from the fire in the middle. That was exhausting, and their attention was all on . ’What do they want?’
Girls rushed towards Night and started asking him to dance with them. Hmm, how will he handle that? It’s amusing to see him struggling, so I guess I’ll be watching him for a while. However, it didn’t end like I expected it to. Night rejected everyone and ignored them without even batting an eye. He left and entered their building.
The girls that asked him all looked at
with a piercing gaze. ’What? Is it my fault that they got rejected?’ I ignored them as I walked toward Maris. I want to go to where Ace is since I really want to be comforted by her. Ace’s voice has this special soothing effect on . "Sure, I’ll just wait for Carla, and we’ll go back to our room too." That’s what Maris said after I told her that I’ll go to Ace’s room first.
"Let’s go," I told Kaoru, and he followed
inside the building. Although he won’t be coming with
inside the room since that’s not allowed. "Just wait for
sowhere, or have so fun if you want."
Kaoru shook his head. "I’ll be waiting for the lady here outside."
I nodded. "Okay, suit yourself." I knocked on the door, and after hearing Ace’s voice, I ca in. "Hi, what are you doing?"
Ace’s lying on her bed while looking at her phone. "I’m watching the video Andy sent to our group chat." She showed
her phone, and my eyes widened. "Did you enjoy your dance with your prince?" A cheeky smile ford on her face while I rushed to get her phone, but she moved it away.
I covered my face. "It was so embarrassing!"
Ace patted my head. "You did great. You’re really aweso." She complinted , making
hug her due to embarrassnt. It’s rare for Ace to complint
like that when it cos to Night. "I never expected that he’ll accept you. That’s great."
I imdiately moved away with eyes wide open. "S-So you already thought that he’ll reject ?"
Ace shrugged. "He kept ignoring you before, so I thought he’ll ignore you again."
WHAT?
"T-Then why did you—"I grunted as I rolled on her bed. I want to disappear. Now every girl in Night’s class will hate
with all their might. "I want to go back and undid what I did."
"Too late."
After that, Ace and I talked about random things. I asked her about her part-ti job and if her parents were doing well. "It’s been so long since I last saw your parents." I can’t visit since Kenji or Kaoru must accompany . That will look weird.
"They’re doing great. You don’t have to worry." She said while caressing my hair. We’re both lying on her bed, and I am already comforted by her hand. "What about you? I know nothing about what happens in your every day." Ace said, making
gulp.
"I-I’m doing fine. Kaoru’s family is treating
well." Right, I almost forgot that I lied about being adopted into Kaoru’s family.
"What about that other guy? The blonde guy. Who is he?"
Is she talking about El? "He’s a friend I t before. He helped
when I injured my foot." That’s the only way I can answer Ace’s question.
"Is that so?" I’m glad that she’s not asking much about . Even though I still wanted to talk with her, her groupmates entered the room, and I felt awkward. "I-I’ll leave now." I rushed out of the room, and Kaoru was still waiting outside.
I rushed towards my room and when I arrived Carla and Maris were already there. Carla’s just sitting on her bed while staring at nothing. ’Did she fail? What happened?’ "Are you okay?" I asked as I walked towards my bed.
Maris shook her head as if telling
not to ask. "I’m not okay," Carla said with her head down. ’Oh no. Did she get rejected? Did she confess?’ Before I could even try to think what was going on, Carla scread, which made Maris cover her mouth.
"W-What is going on?" I asked.
Maris shook her head while trying to calm Carla down. D-Did sothing more hurtful happen? That’s why Carla’s screaming? "Ryzen accepted her offer to dance," Maris said as she rolled her eyes and forced Carla to shut up. "Now she’s squealing like a pig because of how wonderful it was. It’s actually too cringe for
to say." She added.
"H-Huh?" So it’s not because Carla’s hurt?
Carla took a deep breath. "It’s all thanks to you, Noelle! If you didn’t give
the courage, I wouldn’t be able to ask Ryzen to dance with ." She said with a wide smile on her face. I’m glad that what I did was all worth it. "Although he told
he didn’t want to be in a relationship, that’s fine! I like our relationship now." Carla continued squealing and talking about how great of a man Ryzen is while Maris’s covered her ears with both of her pillows.
It’s fun hearing Carla talk about how she enjoyed the night until... "What about you, Noelle? Did you enjoy dancing with Night? I was astonished when Night accepted only you. It’s like a scene from a fairy tale book!" She squealed.
"Indeed. I never expected that snob and cold prince to accept anyone’s offer to dance." Even Maris agreed. "Sure. It was a scene that ca out of a fairy tale." They continued talking about it, and it got embarrassing the longer they ntion how enchanting it was. ’For , it wasn’t enchanting at all. I know that Night’s putting up a show. He’s just using .’
The school trip ended, and everyone talked about how fun it was. While I’m here still thinking about why Night kissed . Is it normal for him to do that just to anyone? Didn’t he kiss Tomoe too?
Speaking of Tomoe, the bridal lessons continued as soon as I arrived back in the mansion. "As for today, lady Noelle must learn the most crucial lesson to beco a good wife to the next boss." Tomoe said making
gulp. ’The most crucial. It ans it’s the most important, right? I really need to focus.’ I thought.
"W-What is it?"
Tomoe looked straight into my eyes. "It is to satisfy the young master with his sexual needs."
"What?" Did I hear that right?
