Ivy deliberately didn't look at Kevin's expression behind her, and then let go of the hand that was holding his shoulder, and caught August's palm stretched out to her.

The latter was obviously overjoyed, and the excitement was clearly visible on his delicate face, like a child who got the biggest portion of honey on Halloween.He even showed a smile hidden in the corner of his mouth in Kevin's direction.

When she turned sideways, she glanced at her original position and found that Kevin had disappeared. She glanced around but couldn't find him.

At this moment, the music was replaced by a traditional court dance, and the atmosphere changed from ambiguous and low to gentle and soothing, and returned to the elegant dance that the upper class should dance in the eyes of the old nobles.

This dance is obviously very handy for Prince August, with his palms touching, his feet circling around the center, the rhythm is not too fast, and it just matches Ivy's big skirt to form a perfect arc.

There is a unique clean smell on his body, like the sun shining through the summer wind, it smells refreshing and comfortable.

Ivy felt very relaxed dancing with him, and her whole body was in a relaxed state, which may also be due to the simple steps of the dance.But the pleasure he brings to himself is real.

"I want to ask you something." Ivy smiled.

He lowered his eyes and stared at her face flattered: "Anything you ask, I will definitely be willing."

"Can you lend me [-] pounds? I will write you a bank IOU and promise to return it to you within two years. My family's manor in the suburbs will be used as a guarantee, and I will also pay you [-]% interest. "

"I can lend it to you without interest. My fief Sussex County will soon have a rent account, and it will be transferred to you at that time."

He lived a good life since he was a child, so he naturally had no idea about money. In his eyes, twenty thousand pounds was just a larger number.

Ivy bent over to him: "Thank you for your help."

"It's just a little effort, hey, my brother is also dancing with the girl." August seemed to see something out of the corner of his eye, and Ivy looked over afterwards, "Is your brother here too?"

"Yes, my brother Alf came with me. He has been in Cambridge on weekdays, and now he is returning to London for vacation."

However, his voice could no longer reach Ivy's ears, because she had no intention of listening.

She saw clearly the face of her partner opposite Prince Alf.

It's Richard's fiancée, Miss Bertha.

It stands to reason that an engaged girl cannot casually agree to other men's invitations without her fiancé coming to the ball together.

Although Ivy is very open-minded, she also believes that this rule is purely an antique from the eighteenth century.But it was about her own brother Richard, so she couldn't use her own thinking to look at it.

What's more, Prince Alf is a well-known romantic figure in the royal family, and the flowers and plants he picked are all over the whole of Great Britain.

Seeing Ivy's abnormal expression and a bit of coldness in his pupils, August couldn't help but feel surprised, looked at her and asked: "Does Miss Ivy know Alf's partner? If so, that would be a coincidence .”

"It's a coincidence..." Ivy almost sneered and replied, "It so happens that her fiancé happens to be my brother."

"Huh?" The most embarrassing person on the entire dance floor is August.

Sweat broke out on his forehead immediately, and he repeated in disbelief: "Could that lady be Mr. Wellesley's fiancée?"

Ivy didn't respond, just let out the word "um" from her throat.

August didn't know how to get rid of the embarrassment, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "Maybe the two of you are just dancing. It's better for Miss Ivy to trust your sister-in-law for now. After all, I don't think Mr. Wellesley has the same vision." It will be bad."

Ivy shook her head noncommittally. Although she was still dancing to the music, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was absent-minded. Maybe because she had been dancing for nearly an hour, her steps became a lot tired.

Prince August was extremely sensitive to changes in her attitude, and quickly caught her displeasure, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "If you mind, I'll stop Alf immediately."

However, when he raised his eyes to look for someone again, he found that the two of them were no longer on the dance floor.

"Sorry, I think I have to find Bertha." Ivy let go of her hand, and immediately ran out with her skirt in her hand, and August followed after her.

She ran up to the Marchioness of Dunllis, politely said she was sorry, and then asked, "Excuse me, have you seen Prince Alver?"

The Marquise was still concentrating on cracking a walnut. She was a little surprised why she asked about Alf's whereabouts, and shook her head: "Shouldn't he still be dancing? If there is no him on the dance floor, he should go to rest."

"Then which room did you arrange for him?"

"The second room upstairs." The Marchioness pointed.

Before she finished her last word, August ran over panting behind, following Ivy who was walking up the spiral staircase, still calling her: "Please wait for me, Miss Ivy."

The Marchioness couldn't help opening her mouth in surprise.

I have already imagined a family ethics drama in my mind, and I even wish I could follow along and watch it.

However, Ivy, who climbed upstairs, was not in the mood to watch a show at all. After confirming that the room was correct, she kicked open the door without hesitation, and her eyes were facing the two undressed men and women lying together on the bed, like two The canes are tightly entangled.

Even the woman's slender arms had already hooked the man's neck, with a look of affection, and when Ivy kicked the door, she heard the man's sexy voice: "You made a right choice."

Then they heard a "bang", and the man and woman panicked. They immediately grabbed the quilt beside them to cover their naked bodies, and looked towards the door.

But found no one there.

However, two seconds later, a blond young man in a black dress appeared in sight, hurried in, and froze in place after seeing the spring scenery in the room clearly.

"August?" Alf couldn't hold his face for a moment, and performed a Greek mythology in front of his younger brother, which was completely embarrassing.

The poor little prince was stunned by the shock. He reacted after being yelled at by his brother, and quickly turned his head away in embarrassment: "You really let me down."

After saying a word, he immediately backed out, looked around for Ivy, and found that she was walking down the stairs with a cold face and no expression.

He hurried to catch up and apologized behind her back: "I'm really sorry for what happened. As far as I know, it is absolutely impossible for Alf to marry her. He can't marry a wife and start a family before he is 30 years old. I really didn't expect him to reach out to your future sister-in-law."

"She has nothing to do with Wellesley." Ivy turned around and said bluntly, "I will let her know that betraying my brother was the worst choice in her life."

It's a pity that jj is not allowed to do orthopedics now, otherwise I really want to write about Arthur and the heroine (cover my mouth, I didn't say anything)
