I took a deep breath as I stepped into the grand ballroom, Irene's hand clasped tightly in mine. The room was buzzed with activity, the sound of lively chatter and piano music filling the air. I could feel the weird excitent building inside, as I took in the scene before .
I and Irene were accompanied by the two servants whom I trusted, who followed us closely as we made our way through the sea of people. I could see that Irene was just as thrilled as I was, her eyes were wide with wonder as she took in the splendor of the room.
As we moved further into the crowd, I felt how my heart racing as we approached the centre of the room, where the dance floor was located. The music swelled around us and I could see the couples twirling and spinning in ti with the rhythm.
I turned to Irene and gave her a reassuring smile, feeling a sense of pride in her as I saw her eyes light up with excitent. She loved these types of things, so no wonder. Irene was really popular inside the mansion with servants and outside with nobility and people, she was liked by everyone.
"Excuse ," a voice spoke quietly next to , "may I have this dance?"
The man standing next to was a handso young nobleman wearing an elegant black suit, he had his hands behind his back as he bowed politely towards Irene.
I didn't understand why, but for so weird reason I wanted to push the man away and tell him that he had no chance with her, but would that be overprotective? The feelings I had towards Irene were none other than simple ones...
I wasn't romantically interested in her because she was my sister in this life, so that would be like a what the fuck mont, but it did make feel so type of way to see other n trying to get her attention, "is this how brothers act?" I muttered to myself and looked at her to see what she was doing.
Without hesitation, she accepted the man's hand and walked off with him towards the dance floor. I watched them both disappear from sight as I thought about Nari, "where is she?" I whispered to myself, moving my head left and right, trying to find her whereabouts.
"Why didn't you answer my letters?!" A woman's voice shouted angrily next to , I turned towards the direction the voice ca from and found a fragile woman standing there, glaring at .
ραпdα nᴏνa| сom Her face was full of wrinkles which crinkled up whenever she frowned, her hair was long and golden-like sun-bleached colour, as well as her skin tone, was paler than most people's. Her eyes were like the sky, bright blue with red-rimd around the edges, and they seed to pierce into .
She was probably around my age, "letters? Who are you?" I frowned as I flinched back a little.
"Who am I???" This woman here raised her voice, it made her sound like a lunatic.
I wondered if she was doing this to get more attention or if she was just crazy.
"I'm your fiance!" She pointed an accusing finger at and I widened my eyes as I shook my head vigorously.
No way, this couldn't be true, I never proposed to anyone, 'no wait, I did!'
"Lady Aurora?" My voice rose up when I realised who she was.
"How long does it take for you to rember ?" She smiled, wickedly.
The way she was talking to , and her weird loud behaviour were enough for to understand that this woman here was trouble, and I needed to avoid that for now.
"I will reply to your letters tomorrow, now please leave alone," I fixed my gaze on her and then started walking away.
"Nooooo, not yet! Co to !" She called out to , "I'm going to ask you one last ti before I cut you down."
"Cut down?" This woman was crazy, I stopped and looked at her, "so cut , please," I answered without thinking much. I needed to find where Nari was, I forgot to give her the instructions.
It was a bit weird that Serenu and Nari were nowhere to be found, but I trusted Serenu, I knew he wouldn't sche, but where was Nari?
"You know, I have so many guys lining up, asking for my hand!" She raised her voice and it made turn back to her again.
She was lying, or even if she wasn't, I didn't care. That would just make my life easier, "well, I'm happy for you," I replied, slowly, giving her a small bow.
"Don't you care about that? I'm soon to be your wife!" She furrowed her eyebrows as I saw her lip twitch.
Was she angry or just trying her best to get my attention, that didn't matter right now, I was here on a mission, "you don't have any offers, and we both know that, lady Aurora...." I decided to reply to her strange statent, "you're saying this to show that you have options, and make feel jealous, but I'm telling you, it won't work on ." I lifted the right corner of my lips, gently smiling back at her pale and emotionless face.
Her loud and ignorant attitude of hers was gone now, she no longer seed to care to cause a ruckus, "now I will go," I gave her a small bow, hoping that it was the right etiquette.
Her face stiffened, but I had no more ti to waste.
I knew that sooner or later, I would have to take care of this engagent matter and maybe giving her a cold shoulder would open her eyes a little bit.
"Now, Nari, where are you?"
Her sudden disappearance made wonder if she was given so special instructions by Hector... I couldn't allow myself to lose or be humiliated in front of half of the kingdom, I was here to make my na known.
