(From Blue's Perspective)
The music was coursing through my veins. And his hands were wrapped around my waist, leading to step by step.
"You can follow my steps if you face any difficulty," he said.
But I did not face any difficulty and neither had I thought I would for now. The steps were clear and I knew where to put my feet.
"Wow! You are doing really well, but I never knew you can dance," he said.
"I didn't know I can too, until now," I said. "You are doing really well too."
"Mother taught . I used to dance with Evelyn during different events," he said. "I am not particularly fond of dancing. But it's great to do it with you."
"Hmm... Sa for ," I admitted. "It's great to dance with you. By the way, that lady over there is staring at you, and the wine is dripping from her glass, yet she hasn't noticed it yet."
"Where?"
"On our right, there," I said, pointing at the woman with my eyes.
"Ah, yeah, I can see her," he said. "Are you jealous?"
"No?"
He looked at my face as if he was trying to see if I was telling the truth or not. "You really are not jealous," he sighed. "Aren't you my wife? Shouldn't you be jealous that so random woman is gawking at your husband?"
"I can understand her. You are really handso. It's natural that she is blinded by your looks. But well, it's really rude and indecent to gawk at soone's husband," I said. "Anyway, I don't have any reason to be jealous. It's not like you are gawking at her.
And besides, even if she ca near you, there is a possibility you would be very rude to her. So, I am more worried about that woman. Let's hope she doesn't approach you."
"Pfft... "You may be the first woman to say that about soone interested in your husband," he laughed.
"Well, what can I do? I got a very different kind of husband after all," I said.
"I can't argue with that," he said with a chuckle.
"Oh, Evelyn and rrick... What are they doing over there? Is Evelyn arguing with that woman?"
Evelyn and rrick were gathered in the far corner of the room. Evelyn appeared to be arguing angrily with soone while little Ava was in her father's arms. She was in a good mood even just a short ti ago.
"She is arguing with that woman," Dem said.
"How do you know that...? Ah, werewolves have an extraordinary hearing... But what are they arguing about?"
"That woman over there said sothing to Ava."
"What did she say? Was she rude?"
"Kind of," he said. "You see, people here would try to target us in any way they could. Sotis it's because of sothing personal, and other tis it's because of sothing else. They won't even leave a child alone. That's why Evelyn is mad."
"Really? How can that woman say sothing rude to our cute little Ava? Evelyn should slap that woman," I grumbled.
"Don't worry. Evelyn is not the type to sit still. My sister quite resembles my personality from so points," he smirked. "She will do well."
The way Dem said it, it did not seem he was rely joking. And within a mont, I saw Evelyn slapping that woman. Not many people cared though.
"Wow..."
"That's what I ant," Dem said knowingly. "Don't worry. That woman won't be able to do anything to you."
"Why the hell would I be worried about sothing like that? I am just surprised... Evelyn seems very cheerful and she smiles almost all the ti. I did not know she has that side to her," I said.
'Now that I think about it, Dem appears cold and indifferent, but when we're alone, he's very clingy and cute. Evelyn might be the sa way. Both of them have different sides to them that's hard to expect.'
The song was over. Dancing felt so natural that I was naturally conversing with Dem while dancing. And I enjoyed it as well. But because of my weak body, I was tired just after dancing in two songs.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"I will take a break," I said. "My body feels weak again."
"Alright, let's go to that silver punk," he said. "I will go and do my work too. You will be okay with him, right?"
"Hmm, don't worry about ."
Dem led to where Luc was. Luc had drunk at least three glasses already. But he did not seem drunk at all. Just like before, he was surrounded by won. But he did not care about them at all and ca towards us when he noticed us.
"You danced quite well for soone who has never danced before," Luc comnted.
"How do you know she has never danced before?" Dem asked.
"Obviously, Blue told ," Luc said with a shrug.
They were arguing for no reason again. But I was watching Evelyn. She was drinking and laughing with her husband while Ava went to play with so other kids. It did not look like Evelyn got into a fight just a while ago.
"Sweetheart, what's wrong?" Dem asked.
"Nothing," I said.
"Good then," he said and gave a peck on the lips. "You will be fine, right?"
"Knock it off, really!" Luc grumbled.
"I will be fine," I said. "You can go now. I will be with Luc the entire ti."
"You have the dagger with you, right?"
"Yeah, I carry it everywhere," I replied, nodding. "You don't have to be concerned about . Just do what you need to do."
He kissed again, right in front of everyone, and then left. He said he was going to talk to the Duke of Ataraxia and Trouvaille about sothing. King Ford and the King of Ataraxia were going to be present there as well.
Despite the fact that I had been Queen of Querencia for two months, I had yet to et the Duke of Querencia. Ruby said it was not a big deal since if I began to work fully as the Queen, I would be able to et all the important people of Querencia.
"Are you worried about sothing?" Luc asked.
"No," I shook my head. "Let's taste so lemon cake first. You waited for , right?"
"I did. Co on."
The banquet's food was exquisite. Luc claid to have had a taste of Ataraxia's Royal Palace's lemon cake, which he described as "amazing." I trusted Luc's judgnt most of the ti, so I was eager to try it.
And just like he said, it was really amazing. The scent of lemon was the specialty of the cake. It was not too moist, but not too hard as well.
"Wow, it really is good," I said.
"Right? I told you!" Luc exclaid bashfully.
But I could not enjoy it as much as I wanted to. There was an uneasy feeling. Since the evening, it had been the sa. It felt as if I was hearing an unknown voice but had no idea what it was saying.
I had the impression that there was another part of myself soplace else, and that I was hearing what that part of was hearing.
But how could that happen? I was right here. How could I be sowhere else? It had to be impossible, right?
"Hey, you don't look so good. If you have sothing bothering you, you can tell ," Luc said. "Or do you feel any pain in your stomach or sothing?"
"Actually, I'm just feeling a little uneasy," I said. "I'm not sure what it is, but it feels as if I'm invading soone else's privacy."
"What do you an?"
"It's as if I'm hearing sothing that soone else is supposed to hear. It's unclear, but I occasionally feel like I'm in soone else's body sowhere else, experiencing what that person is feeling," I explained.
"That's pretty ssed up."
"You've never heard of sothing like this before, have you?"
"No, I haven't," he said. "But if you are experiencing it now, I might need to look into the matter. There must be sothing serious going on."
"And I am having strange dreams," I said. "But the problem is I don't rember them afterward, but I just know that it was sothing strange."
"Is it about your past...? It can happen since you are..."
"No, they are normal. But the ones I have now are different. They are not scary, but I have a feeling that if I can rember them, I will find out sothing about the situation," I said. "It's like a mystery uncovered in front of , yet blurry."
