Chapter 34 Second Dance Partner

Chapter 34 Second Dance Partner

As I entered the crowd, Moses’ miracle happened again.

Perhaps this situation would never have happened in normal times.

But I am the one who just danced with the empress. So, in a way, it was only natural that their attitude towards me would change.

‘It’s burdensome… ….’

The whole time I walked along the aisle opened by people, eyes filled with emotions such as curiosity, envy, and jealousy poured in here and there.

Your temples really sting.

I eventually reached the location where Flora and Mulia were waiting.

“Did you dance better than I thought?”

Flora smiled her eyes as soon as she saw me. Because of that, I couldn’t tell if he was serious or joking.

“You’re not kidding me, are you?”

I asked just in case,

“If I had meant to make fun of you, I would have said it was ridiculous.”

Flora immediately responded in a cheerful voice.

Well, since she has such a candid personality, she probably wouldn’t have said she was good at something she didn’t do well.

I shook my head as a sign of understanding.

“… ….”

Mulia was just staring at me. At a time like this, I wish I could say something.

“The Lady of Count Fordward?”

So I tried talking first. She blinked her eyelids a few times then parted her lips.

“No. Nothing.”

Mulia turned her gaze to a place other than me after a short reply.

I wondered where the hell she was looking, so I followed her gaze. At the end of his gaze was Cecilia, who was sitting on a throne on top of a podium with an insensitive face.

And I saw several Youngsik snooping around the podium to apply for a dance partner.

Well, first of all, perseverance deserves praise.

However, it is unknown whether Cecilia will dance again.

“Ah, do you think His Majesty is bothered?”

I turned my head at Flora’s voice right next to me. Flora smirked as soon as her eyes met.

“The Lady of the Marquis of Simonion is busy laughing when she sees me these days.”

“Oh, then, shall we treat you with an impression from now on?”

“No. You don’t have to be so extreme…….”

I waved her hand and Flora giggled. Seeing me waving my hands and getting in trouble must have been fun for me.

“Flora. There are a lot of eyes here.”

Mulia pointed it out to Flora in an extremely aristocratic tone. In a word, it must mean that since there are many people watching, you should keep the dignity of a noble lady.

“So you are more calm than usual?”

But Flora didn’t bat an eye and struck back.

As expected, you’re a formidable enemy…….

“Yes, but a little more, you know?”

“Okay, Mulia.”

No matter how you look at it, Flora seemed unwilling to change her behavior as she pointed out. Mullia must have felt this too, so she let out a short sigh while holding her forehead.

Looking at her, a very famous line from a certain cartoon came to mind.

It’s easy to give up.

Mulia shook her head and shut her mouth again. She seemed to be willing to let Flora take care of it.

“Hey, Lady Fordward over there.”

A certain aristocrat Youngsik suddenly appeared in front of Mulia. She was a man with blond hair, and at first glance she had a fleshy body.

“Yes, what are you doing?”

Mulia didn’t seem to know her opponent at all. After the man introduced himself,

“I would be very grateful if I could have the honor of dancing with such a beautiful person tonight.”

She bent her knees slightly and held out her right hand toward her Mulia.

Um. No matter how I look at it, I can see the angle of being rejected.

Mullia looked down at her hand for a moment before she opened her mouth to the man.

“Thank you for asking me to dance, but I am not feeling well today. I hope you enjoy the glory with someone else.”

Very polite yet businesslike tone.

Her The man who was rejected by her rubbed the back of her head as if he was embarrassed. Then he gave her a light bow to her and moved away.

“I guess you didn’t like it?”

As soon as the man blended into the crowd, Flora asked a question.

“I just don’t have any plans to dance today.”

“Even if Mr. Luke applies for a dance partner?”

What is it?

I was taken aback and interrupted their conversation.

“Hey, the marquis’s daughter? Why do I suddenly jump out of there…….”

“I’m just asking for fun. It doesn’t mean anything.”

After Flora flashed her eye smile at me, she cast her gaze back at Mullia.

“… ….”

Mulia looked me up and down. That gaze was, to say the least, a gaze that judged me.

“Yes. I will not accept it.”

Well, I expected you to refuse. Because Mulia still doesn’t like me.

However, as if she had been chimed in 0 confessions 1, I couldn’t help but feel a bitter aftertaste.

“Mr. Luke. Don’t be too upset. Our Mulia originally has a bit of a hedgehog-like side, right?”

“I will not deny it.”

Mulia surprisingly readily agreed to Flora’s explanation.

“If I had to add it, I would have refused even if someone other than the secretary came. I really don’t feel like dancing today.”

“Couldn’t you have made a lover without my knowledge?”

“How could that be?”

Mulia made a puzzled expression.

“I’m going to rest on a bench in the corner. It would be annoying if I just stayed here and asked for a partner. Enough then.”

She hurriedly greeted her and began moving her steps towards what might be a corner bench.

Why are you leaving so quickly?

I looked around and found several youngsiks staring intently at Mulia’s back.

So that’s why you ran away without looking back like that.

“It must have been a little burdensome to ask for a dance partner.”

Flora informed me with her gaze fixed on the back of her Mulia.

“It’s not that he can’t dance, and as you saw earlier, he’s very popular. However, he himself does not like that kind of attention.”

“It was like that anyway.”

While we were having a conversation, an unknown aristocrat named Yeongsik approached us. His target is Flora.

“Daughter of the Marquis Simonion. I ask for a dance partner from the most beautiful person next to Her Majesty, Empress Cecilia.”

“Oh my God. What should I do? I have a partner that I have already marked.”

Flora refused with a smile on her face. And then he suddenly crosses his arms over me!

What, why are you doing this all of a sudden?

Is it because you don’t like this guy?

The man looked at Me and Flora alternately with a startled face.

Actually, I was surprised as well.

“Ah… …. You made a mistake. Sorry.”

The man politely apologized and walked away.

“Whoops. Thanks to Mr. Luke, I got rid of him easily.”

An expression that seems to be refreshing inside after expelling pests.

By the way, when are you going to release your arms?

I can feel your breasts still soft to the touch on your forearm?

“I, the Marquis Lady. I want you to slowly untie your arms…….”

“Ah! Sorry. I caught it without even knowing.”

Flora laughed awkwardly as she let go of my arm.

Her heart raced when she danced with Cecilia, but this was no joke either.

But even after Flora undid her arms, she continued to look at me. It’s like a dog’s eyes wanting something.

“Daughter of the Marquis Simonion. Is there anything you want from me?”

“Ah. It’s nothing. I just want to dance one song now.”

This woman is expressing herself too bluntly.

I couldn’t stop laughing at that appearance. I want it so much, but I don’t want to, dance one more time and come back.

I posed to ask her for a partner.

“I would like to request a dance partner for the Lady of the Marquis Simonion, who maintains her beauty despite being overwhelmed by paperwork every day.”

“This is not a romantic line. It’s a bit disappointing, but since you asked for it, I’ll accept it specially.”

Flora lightly placed her right hand on top of mine.

Just in time, the musicians finished playing and the dancers left the central hall.

“Shall we go soon?”

“Okay, Mr. Luke.”

A bright smile bloomed on Flora’s face.

Fortunately, there were several other couples besides us in the central hall.

Compared to dancing alone with Cecilia, the burden was much less. If you make a mistake, people will miss it.

We got into a position to dance.

“But I was really surprised.”

“The Marquis’s daughter, but what about me, the person involved?”

“That’s true too.”

Flora laughed lightly.

I moved my eyes slightly towards the podium. Cecilia was apparently watching the two of us.

Um. As expected, I will do my best to not make a mistake this time too.

“Mr. Luke?”

“Oh. I was just thinking about something.”

“Do you think of something else when I am here?”

Flora suddenly looked sullen, and I involuntarily swallowed her breath.

“I have offended the marquise’s lady. Sorry.”

“A. I was just joking, but you take it too seriously.”

“Young Ae’s expression was so sincere. I was tricked.”

We laughed lightly, no matter who came first.

Anyway, it’s very strange.

Even though we were holding hands like this and keeping our bodies close together, I felt very comfortable. Even when her swelling touches my body.

Of course, a beating heart is a perfectly normal physiological phenomenon.

Soon the band started playing, and we moved our bodies to the music.

Dancing with Flora was definitely comfortable and enjoyable.

It’s different from when I was hanging out with Cecilia.

“… ….”

Mulia stood up from the bench and looked at the center of the banquet hall. There, a pair of pink-haired and black-haired men and women who were very familiar to her were dancing.

‘You’re dancing with Secretary Flora too… ….’

It came as a shock to Cecilia that she singled out her Luke as her partner. Therefore, the fact that the two danced together did not give as much of an impact.

However, how should I express these complex and subtle emotions felt from the fact that all of my childhood friends danced with the same guy?

Mullia thought about it, but she couldn’t come up with the words.

‘What is it?’

As Flora and Luke danced, their faces were full of joy.

For what reason?

‘Did His Majesty and Flora have feelings for that man?’

Mulia wanted to find out the answer to her question.

To do so…….

I needed to know more about a man named Luke.

‘But I’m not a bad person.’

I was worried that the Marquis of Marlborough and Luke met separately at the same time.

Even though Luke had informed Flora of the conversation, the suspicion still lingered in her mind that it might not be the truth.

Mullia made up her mind that whenever she had the chance, she would seize the opportunity to talk with Luke alone.
