"We are going to complete all the formalities of your admission."
Evan frowned when she listened to him. His cool breath was filled with a possessive streak.
His gleaming black eyes were dark to the core, just like the color of ink. It was so frightening! Why did she feel that he was going for a war not for his admission and why was she suddenly taking admission anyway? Didn't she just tell him that they would never keep a commoner among them. Even if they let her stay here as she had already taken the admission before the marriage broke, she would be tornted and bullied. She did not want to stay in a hostile environnt at any cost.
But when she looked at his frightening eyes, her complaints died in her mouth. All she could do was cuss him in her mind.
"Why was he so authoritative and bossy!" They silently entered the office. The room was brightly lit with a feminine look. Monique was sitting on the chair with an old lady on the seat of the head. But her eyes widened when she looked at the third lady present there.
Ladies turned when they heard the sound of opening the door and footsteps coming towards them. Normally students knock on the door before entering even if they had higher status. They were about to admonish the intruder when Miss Parker noticed Evan. her eyes glead when she looked at the stunned girl!
Even Monique smiled, ignoring the haughty attitude of Leo, he was the icy king after all.
"I thought we were never going to et again!" Evan had a guilty expression on her face. Even when she was not at fault, she had promised the lady to join the work from tomorrow but she just vanished like that.
"Hmm, I heard that you ran away with your husband." Miss Parker nodded and then shifted her gaze to Leo, "so, this is your husband! Now, I understand why you ran away!" She did not clear, which incident she was talking about running away from ho or running back ho from town.
"No" ca the abrupt reply of the girl. She was afraid that she would be tornted later if the misunderstanding grew. After all, Leo was a strange being! No one knew what could infuriate him!
Miss Parker raised her brow at her reaction. She was looking like a deer caught by the hunters. Evan smiled awkwardly when four pairs of eyes stared at her together.
"I an, he is not my husband. We are only engaged." She wanted to make it clear that it is only a promise to get married. And promises could be broken anyti.
She was so consud in convincing the ladies that she did not notice Leo's eyes, which were getting darker every second. Just how repulsed she was by being called his wife!? How eager she was to get disconnected by him in every way!
His face turned uglier when the thought passed his mind. Why was he so worried about her then? Ha! Now he felt like a fool to care about her! His eyes widened when the thought crossed his mind. Why was he caring about her in the first place? His eyes turned hard and cold again.
"Let introduce her properly. She is the chosen wife and new duchess of Thawyne family. They were going to bind the knot soon. I t her at a recent tea party. She has a good talent when it cos to dancing. If nurtured well, she could be a great dancer!" inford Monique and miss Parker frowned.
"Dancer! No! There are so mistakes, she belongs to the music world. She had imnse talent when it ca to playing instrunts. Though I have only heard her playing the violin, I am sure she can play many instrunts. Right, Evangeline?" she asked and Evan nodded with an awkward face. They were talking like it was a great thing to dance and play music. Wasn't it a nial task that people do leisurely?
"Aah, yes she can play well too. But I still want her under . I will train her to be the best dancer." Monique brushed off the statent of miss Parker lightly who narrowed her eyes at Monique Wahimilton.
"Are you trying to steal a good seedling from , Monique Wahimilton?" she asked in a sharp tone but Monique nodded without any hesitation.
"Well, she had accepted my invitation to co here. So, of course, she would join my class!"
Evan looked at both of them with confused faces. By their words, they seem to be teaching music and dancing in such a great academy, yet they were fighting over a commoner like her? Wouldn't they already have hundreds of nobles under her wings. She did not know how to feel about this? Though she was grateful that they felt she was worthy enough. But she didn't want to be here.
The more she tried to run away from the world of nobles, the more she was getting entangled in it.
"That is enough!" the eldest and the third woman who was silent till now, ordered in her authoritative tone. Her voice was low yet it worked like magic and the two arguing won shut their mouths instantly. There was a frown on her face.
"I never knew that you too can still fight over sothing so nial. Who would believe that you are the head of the two departnts." she shook her head as if she was disappointed by both of them. And both ladies pursued their lips.
"I am the dean of the academy, it is my honor that the lord personally cos here to get the formalities done for his fiance, but as you can see, the ladies here are not able to decide the departnt for her. So, how about a test that shows which field she is more talented in?" she asked in a courteous voice from Leo but he did not reply as she had expected.
"She should be the one to decide."
