And the Royal Palace Ball of the Debatants opened the curtain.
If it was meant to be, it would be about the time I already walked into the venue and was making a joke.
But because of the flow of entry with His Royal Highness, our admission just before royalty such as His Majesty and Queen.
The royalty was then entered into the stream of first dance with His Highness after the words from His Majesty.
Now in front of a brilliant and large door with His Highness, waiting to be opened.
From the moment I realized that I liked His Highness earlier, even trivial things turned my consciousness to His Highness.
Conscious of the ordinary mind as much as possible so that the hand that has been turned in His Highness’s arms does not tremble. And when I take one small, deep breath, His Highness looks worried and peeks into my face.
“Are you nervous?
“No, I’m fine. Thank you for your concern.”
“Rachel has too much to hold. I want you to rely on me whenever you have trouble.”
“Your Highness… Thank you.”
His Royal Highness smiles gently when he says so, nodding one thing.
And I look straight ahead when I hold my hand, which accompanies His Highness’s arm, to touch it gently with my opposite hand.
Come on, let’s go.
“Yes.”
When the door opens, he lifts his face slightly and steps out.
While I feel a lot of gaze, I have nothing to be anxious about. When I glanced up at the face of His Highness next door, you noticed that gaze and His Highness turned to me too.
And turned the smile into sweeter, gentler eyes.
All the women watching on the side of the scene are dyeing their faces and staring at His Highness with feverish eyes.
“You’re still right to race”
“Huh?”
“No, because I feel the gaze of eagerness staring at you as I expected.”
Questioning His Highness’s small, grunting voice, His Highness smiles nicely as he waves his head to the left and right. And when His Highness looks around to follow the gaze he feels around him, it seems to me that the complexion of men his age has changed for a moment, but is it because of……?
I wonder what happened unexpectedly, and I’m about to tilt my neck. But just then, a royal admission signal came out.
Everyone, drool their heads and wait for the royal entrance.
His Majesty, the Queen, and His Royal Highness’s brother, the Second Prince, enter in turn.
By the way, your brothers have other first princesses and third princes, but they are not attending the ball because they are still young.
The moment his majesty enters, the air changes into a tingly tight one.
Despite the same colour as His Royal Highness: blonde hair and pale eyes, His Majesty and His Highness have completely different impressions on people.
His Majesty hears that he took over the throne young when the post-war turmoil still persisted, but it is no exaggeration to say that he has stabilized this country so far.
If His Highness is somewhat of a mild neutral type, His Majesty has a very masculine guttural physique. And the sharp gaze and the intimidation I feel just standing on the spot seem to represent exactly the name King.
At the end of his ballroom address, His Majesty said, “Tonight is also the debutant of Marcel Marquis, the fiancée of my son, Prince Wang. Therefore, the first dance of the day shall be by the Prince Wang and the Marquis Marcel’s Lady”.
With the words, slowly attach your own hand to the hand offered by His Highness.
And as we walk into the middle of the dance floor, it seems that the gaze of everyone on the spot is concentrated.
But I will pay close attention to all walking, facial expressions, etc. so that His Royal Highness, who never ceases to smile and does not make me feel nervous, deserves it.
When I come to the center, I change my position to face His Highness, and His Highness’s hand turns to my waist.
Our dance also began slowly, along with the music that slowly began to play.
Oh, I miss it.
I feel like it’s been a long time since I danced this way in the face of His Highness.
His Royal Highness also shows its elegance in dancing, beautiful to the tip of his hand and very easy to dance even better to suit people.
And staring at His Highness’s face, which I feel closer than usual, he has a very cool grin.
But when the gaze turned to me, it turned into a very sweet eye and broke my face.
“Are you okay?
“Yes, Your Highness is so good, you’re helping me.”
“No, I’m still desperate for this.”
“No way, no way”
The words of His Highness were unintentionally fuzzy and full of laughter.
I can’t believe you’re so desperate for such an elegant leg carry.
“It’s true. Of course, I’m not saying I don’t like dancing. … I’ve never had so much fun dancing or wanted to dance all the time.”
“Your Highness…”
“I don’t want to show it to anyone, but I also want to show everyone that Rachel is my fiancée. I feel contradictory myself.
… and now I’ve found another thing that I think is fun to dance. ”
“What is it?
“You can take Rachel’s gaze while you’re dancing like this, right?
I feel my cheeks tremble unexpectedly at the words.
Your Highness always rocks my heart.
Even now, aren’t you the only one who feels so ashamed?
If I think so, I accidentally leak a stubborn voice.
“Whenever, isn’t Your Highness taking away my gaze”
“… that is an anomaly.
I don’t want anyone else to see such a pretty face. ”
When His Highness opened his eyes slightly, he raised his gaze upwards and exhaled one small.
And when strength comes into the hand that accompanies my hips, the distance from His Highness is nearer.
“Your Highness, I thought you were close.”
“Ha, now I’m the only one who can see Rachel’s face”
Looking up at His Highness from a closer distance, His Highness was really happy to narrow his eyes and laugh out loud.
The look on that smile blinds me unexpectedly.
Unlike the usual grown-ups, the face was pure laughter by an age-appropriate youth.
Oh, I wish I could have this look to myself…
Such thoughts come to mind for a moment, hah.
No, don’t think about that again.
Even before, I let His Highness down because of my jealousy.
… I can hardly tell you that I have such a desire for exclusivity in Your Highness.
Something I’ve decided I can’t go wrong anymore.
Suddenly he shut up and opened his mouth to me to say something, but that’s where the music stops.
And when we thank you, the invitees give us a big round of applause.
“I’m glad I’m not mistaken”
“Oh, it was a very beautiful dance. Shall we go to the Marquis?”
“Yes.”
Following our dance, now we dance with men escorted by other debutantes.
And then His Highness will be dancing with a few people.
Of course, I’ll be dancing if I have to, too.
But first, I have to rendezvous with your fathers.
I wonder where you are, and wandering your gaze, Your Highness…
I guess I’ve already found your fathers.
I pointed out the position of your fathers with my gaze.
There was still a mother there gripping and smiling at her handkerchief with her father with a difficult face.
“I’ll be there. I’ve felt the Marquis’ gaze since the first dance.”
“Really?
“Oh, because you took Rachel’s escort. Maybe they resent you.”
His Royal Highness gives his shoulders a glimpse of this.
Besides, I almost leaked a laugh from my mouth unexpectedly, shaking my shoulders.
His Highness stops at his parents’ place in a little while.
I also stop and stare at His Highness, wondering what’s wrong with that behavior.
Then His Royal Highness lowered his brow and shook my hand in both hands with a gnaw.
“It’s a shame I have to deliver you to the Marquis like this.”
“Your Highness…”
“I’ll be back again, will you wait”
“Yes, of course.”
He tries to snort with a bright voice into His Highness’s slightly sunken voice. Then His Royal Highness smiled at me with a horrible face, too.
At that time.
“Your Highness, thank you for taking the time to have my daughter.
Now, the others are waiting. ”
“Marquis, you can wait a little longer”
“I waited long enough. Come on, it’s going to be the next music.”
“… Ah. See you later, Rachel.”
“Yes.”
As if I was in a hurry not to come, your father comes and stands between me and His Highness sassy.
His Royal Highness was not irritated by the attitude of his father, which could also be taken as disrespectful, but flaunted his shoulders.
And after turning his spare gaze towards me, he takes a word to his father, “Marquis, keep me away from weird bugs,” and turns his back away.
Ahead of His Highness, the white dresses dancing with the music.
Of course, some of them are Anna.
Will His Highness dance with her?
With moya moya thoughts, I stared back at His Highness.
