The skirt flutters, the elegant smell of perfume looms, and the feet move the dance steps unhurriedly.

Cinderella's feet were dressed in a pair of crystal slippers given to her by the Count, which were clear and delicate. As soon as she saw the slippers she fell in love with them, and the Count was always so considerate, and the clothes and jewellery sent to her were all to her heart. Although for her, whatever he gave her, she was extremely fond and happy.

Being able to dance with the Count, whom she has always admired and admired, Cinderella's heart was filled with joy. This bit of joy was unabashedly expressed by her, with a smile on her face, and anyone who saw her would involuntarily be infected with a joy or two by her.

Her eyelashes fluttered, and she looked directly at the young earl across from her without blinking, something she would never dare to do at first.

Qiao Heng saw the smile on Cinderella's face, he lowered his voice to talk to her and asked, "Are you happy?"

Cinderella's footsteps froze, almost messing up her dance steps.

Qiao Heng skillfully relied on his own steps to cover up this small mistake in the past for her. It looks like the two of them have deliberately cooperated and changed their dance steps in perfect harmony.

Cindera steadied herself, nodded her head, and admitted, "I'm happy, Count. She looked at the Count, and saw that he was not upset by her previous mistake, and she secretly relaxed a little.

Hearing Cinder's answer, Qiao Heng sighed with emotion. It seems that the prince has approached her, and is he glad to be able to talk to the prince up close? Cinderella and the prince are indeed a destined pair?

The prince watched the scenes in the dance hall from above, his hand holding the railing unconsciously tightened, and his fingertips turned white.

The prince had suddenly disappeared and had not appeared in the dance hall, and the Marquis Wilson had been looking for a long time before he could find the prince.

After seeing the prince's back, he hurriedly called, "Your Highness, I have finally found you." Why didn't you go dancing?"

The prince was startled by the Marquis Wilson, who suddenly spoke behind him, and he hurriedly let go of the hand holding the railing, turned to look at the Marquis Wilson, with a humble smile on his face, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I didn't find a suitable dance partner." ”

Marquis Wilson took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his face, this highness is inevitably too high-minded, even more critical than Earl Grant.

Thinking of Earl Grant, he subconsciously glanced to the first floor, his eyesight was excellent, he was the best at shooting and hunting when he was young, he saw Earl Grant dancing with people at a glance, and then his eyes stayed on the young lady opposite him for a while, "What a beautiful young lady, doesn't Your Highness even like her?"

The prince followed his gaze, and was stunned when he saw who the young lady he was talking about.

I don't know if it's a problem with the light, his blue eyes are slightly dark, he smiled, and shook his head, "How dare I compete with Earl Grant for a dance partner." ”

Speaking of Earl Grant, the Marquis Wilson praised him as much as usual. All in all, Count Grant has a very good temper, as long as the young lady is willing, Count Grant will not deliberately snatch a dance partner from His Royal Highness, and the invitation to dance partner must be the first to start, and His Royal Highness must invite the dance early next time.

The prince nodded perfunctorily.

He raised his eyes and asked, as if unintentionally, "Can the Marquis tell me how your relationship with Earl Grant became so good?"

Marquis Wilson wiped his sweat again and changed the subject with a stiff smile.

It's not that it can't be said, but it's a fact that is hard to say.

Did he let him sue Prince Sù, Earl Grant, for helping his sister-in-law cure the "hidden/disease" problem?

At the beginning, he tried his best to get a knighthood for his second son, precisely because his eldest son had a hidden illness, and it was very likely that it would be difficult to have an heir. He really didn't want the Wilson family, which had been maintained for hundreds of years, to be ruined, so he had to find a way to seek a knighthood for his second son.

In fact, the eldest son of the Wilson family did not have a hidden illness.

It was no secret in aristocratic circles that the eldest son of the Wilson family liked to soak in hot water, but things went bad in this hot bath.

People who have not studied biology in this era do not know that bathing in hot water with high temperature for a long time will affect the vitality of sperm and even kill sperm, while bathing in warm water no more than 35 degrees Celsius is no problem.

Marquis Wilson stumbled: "Earl Grant is not a very difficult man to deal with. ”

The prince sighed, and he said, "Of course I know, he is my sword teacher, and I have been with him for so long, how can I not know this." ”

As long as Earl Grant is willing to talk to people, no matter what is going on, he can always have a few words with people. There is no need to bother to stir up a topic, let alone adjust the atmosphere, because the other party will do it, and from any point of view, talking to him should be a very enjoyable thing.

It should have been that way, but he didn't like it.

Although his father was very fond of Count Grant, he was not close to him from an early age.

Sometimes, however, he could not resist learning the words and deeds of Earl Grant. It's like when he followed Earl Grant to learn swordsmanship, he almost learned some inconsequential little movements when the other party held the sword. If his father hadn't laughed at it that day, he wouldn't have even realized it.

For a moment, he lost interest in talking, and instead of looking at the Marquis Wilson, he continued to look sideways at the dance hall on the first floor.

……

Cinderella's dance steps were taught by Qiao Heng herself, she was not proficient in dancing, although she was dancing with him, but in fact, it was the Earl who had always led her to change her pace, and if she changed her dance partner, she might step on the other party's foot on the way.

She recalled the time when the Count had taught her to dance, and he had taught her more in a way than the teacher who had been invited by her stepmother to teach her two stepsisters. In her eyes, the Count himself was a perfect collection of manners, a model that all etiquette and dance teachers could dream of.

Cinderella came back to her senses and said, "Your teacher must be amazing. ”

Qiao Heng replied ambiguously: "It's okay." "There are too many teachers in his memory, which creates a mixed situation, it is all in the past, and it is not interesting to evaluate anything.

Cinderella didn't pay much attention to his answer, just now, she saw a blurry figure not far away, and her face turned a little pale.

If she read that correctly, it should be her father and stepmother. In this case, her two sisters must have been at the prom.

They lived in the royal city, and how could they not have received an invitation to this palace ball?

She was a little at a loss, she didn't know if her stepmother saw her, and she didn't know how to face her stepmother later.

She didn't have to think about it, she knew that her stepmother must be very angry when she saw her.

The Count must be in a difficult situation, after all...... That's his own sister.

She preferred to stay with the Count rather than return to the home where her father and stepmother lived.

Cinderella didn't know if it was a luxury, but she was really looking forward to it.

If Cinderella could see the Countess of Manifik, Qiao Heng would naturally see it, and even he had seen the Countess of Manifik before the ball had even begun.

Cinderella was not very good at hiding her expression, Qiao Heng only had to take a light look and guess her thoughts.

"Don't bother with them, they won't recognize you at all," he said. ”

Cinderella asked, puzzled, "Why don't they recognize me?"

Qiao Heng just chuckled and didn't explain too much.

How could they possibly recognize her?

In Manifik Manor, Cinderella looked dusty all day long, her face was covered with dust, and because the countess didn't want to see her face, she kept her head down all day, even when she hadn't followed Qiao Heng out of the manor, the Earl and Lady of Manifik, who were most familiar with her appearance, probably only remembered the fact that she was beautiful, and her specific appearance had long been forgotten.

Now, a few years have passed, and the once young girl has grown up, and her face has gradually unfolded, becoming more mature and unfamiliar.

Changing places, even Qiao Heng himself probably can't recognize it.

Cinderella had always felt as if someone was watching her, and she looked strangely in the direction of her gaze.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed young man stood on the second floor and watched her, the light cast from the huge crystal chandelier blurring the young man's face, but she still recognized who it was.

Cinderella knew that it was her fault to break the contract temporarily, and suddenly saw that the person she owed was looking at her, and she panicked, and her already unskilled dance steps made a mistake again.

The tip of her shoe stepped on the lace of the group, and she leaned forward.

Qiao Heng took a step forward and wrapped his arms around her waist with his dance steps to prevent her from falling to the ground.

It's a shame to make two mistakes in a row. Cinderella blushed and looked up, trying to see if there was impatience in the Count's eyes, and it was not her intention to make a bad impression on the Count.

Just as she looked up, her lips inadvertently touched an equal softness.

Qiao Heng stiffened his arms around Cinderella.

The author has something to say: cover his face, write and write what to do if he suddenly wants to change the outline and kick the prince aside
