Chapter Eighty-Four: The Ball
After Lucia sat down, the ball really began, first the two princes expressed their welcome to Princess Kate, but only Prince Clad spoke, and Prince Skill stood aside, nodding from time to time. Lucia www.biquge.info Pen & Fun & Pavilion knew very well that this prince did not welcome herself, but a few of the nobles below really came to welcome the princess, and everyone was just looking for a reason to be happy. Of course, the most jubilant of them all was Prince Klad, whose activity contrasted sharply with that of Prince Skill in the cold.
Also cold on the side is Lucia, in addition to poor breathing, more worried about the spell, she glances at Xuanyu from time to time, as long as the other party is in her sight, it will be much more reassured. However, this atmosphere was broken by Alex who suddenly appeared.
Approaching Louis casually, Alex whispered, "Don't forget our agreement;!"
Louis came to Lucia with a wry smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, can I borrow your maid?"
"I have two maids, I don't know which one you are looking for?" Although her tone was calm, Lucia kept praying in her heart, don't take Xuanyu away!
But her prayer apparently did not work, and Louis's somewhat playful gaze ran over Lucia's right shoulder, and then smiled, "I have a friend who wants to ask Miss Meles to do a dance." ”
Melis is Xuanyu's current name, the result of Moan's investigation, when Princess Kate fled Carthus, with only two maids, Meles and Goruth, with her. Now, seeing that "Melis" is so popular, "Gorouette", who is standing behind Lucia's left, is desperately holding back a smile, and her expression has become very funny.
Lucia couldn't laugh, all she could think about was how to refuse. However, suddenly a voice came to the brain: "It's okay, let me go." Lucia subconsciously turned her head to look at the maid, only to see her smile sweetly, and then nodded.
"Well," Lucia sighed, "but not too long." ”
In this way, Xuanyu followed Louis to Alex. When Louis finished his introduction, he left with a snicker. All that left was "Mielth" and Alex staring at each other.
"Can I ask you to do a dance?" Alex said as he held out his hand to Xuanyu.
"But, isn't Captain Sandra still on duty?" said Miels with a wink of wide eyes.
"There's still time for a dance. Alex still didn't give up, and the hand he stretched out to Xuanyu still didn't let go.
"Miels" smiled and put her hand in his, and the other party was even more flattered, and slowly led her beloved dance partner to the center of the hall. To the beautiful and beautiful music, the two of them danced, and all the men present cast envious, jealous, and maybe hateful glances at Alex, which was exactly what Alex wanted. Lucia couldn't bear to look directly and tilted her head to the side, and Rod couldn't help himself, and secretly ran to the side porch to hammer the wall and laughed.
After a song, there were more than a dozen inviting hands stretched out to "Miels", and he didn't want to be a dance partner, Alex pulled Xuanyu aside: "Which of these gentlemen is sincere?"
"So, does Captain Sandra mean it?" said Miels.
"Of course, you can stay ......at Egrem if you want," Alex hinted with a smile.
"That's not going to work, who knows if you're really good to me. "Mels" casually**, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to Alex, "unless you drink it." ”
"This ......," Alex was a little embarrassed, "I'm still on duty." ”
"Miel" pursed her lips: "Just dance, can't I beg you for a glass of wine now?"
Seeing that the beauty was unhappy, Alex hurriedly coaxed: "Okay, good, if you let me drink it, of course I want to drink it, but it's only one cup." ”
As he spoke, he raised his glass and drank it down. But when you have a drink, it's not a matter of a glass. Next, they pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and it was out of control.
Louie seems to be more conscientious than Alex, who is not doing her job, but half of her energy is on Lucia and the other half on finding Grace. It's something she's been worried about, if she really bums Grace into Rhodes, or if she can really recognize it. But after walking around the hall twice and not seeing Grace's figure, didn't she come? Louis shook his head, quickly dispelled this idea, she and Grace grew up together, naturally know each other's temperament very well, Grace will never be absent from a ball like this.
So, Louie came to the garden, and after looking around, he saw a faint figure next to the pool, and it was Grace! Louis shouted, but the other party did not respond, which made Louis a little puzzled, if it was usual, Grace must have pounced at the first time, but now she was standing there quietly, as if she had something on her mind.
Louie walked over and patted her on the shoulder, "What's wrong?
Grace looked at the still water and said quietly, "Dancing......?
"What's wrong?" Louis turned to Grace's front and looked at her pale and dull face, "Someone bullied you, tell me, I'll avenge you!"
Grace shook her head: "No one is bullying me, I'm just bored." ”
"What's boring?" Louie asked.
"It's boring," Grace is uninterested, "the ball, the food, the pretty clothes, it's boring." ”
"Aren't these your favorites?" said Louis.
"I don't like it now......" Grace said melancholy.
Although he knew that he couldn't mention this topic, but for Grace's pleasure, Louie's words blurted out: "So, Rod can't mention your interest either?"
Hearing Rod's name, Louis obviously saw Grace's eyes light up, and she raised her head slightly: "Did you say Rod? Yes, I like him." ”
Louis smiled, but the smile froze in the words that followed Grace's mouth, but as soon as the smile spread to the corners of his mouth.
"I like Rod, I like to see him covered in blood, it's so beautiful!" Grace said unhurriedly, and then gave a very unnatural smile. Her expression seemed strange to Louie, and the satisfaction and almost crazy smile on her face made Louie shudder.
Is Grace serious? With what Louis knows about her, she is by no means a girl who can lie and act, Grace has always been very simple, always crying. Today's performance is very different from what has happened in Earls Court these days?
Unable to reassure, Louie asked eagerly, "Grace, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine," Grace turned to face Louie, "have you ever killed someone?"
With that expression again, Louis seemed to be able to feel his eyelids jumping wildly: "Why are you asking this?"
Grace tilted her head to the side: "Just thought it was interesting." ”
"Interesting?" Louis frowned, "You mean killing people is fun?"
Next, Grace said that Louis did not hear, because her attention was all focused on the quiet path behind Grace, not far behind Grace, and the maid "Groutel" disguised as Rhodes was slowly walking towards this side. Rod and Grace meet in a scene that Louis did not want to see, but it was too late to stop it.
Before Louis could figure out a way, Rhodes spotted Louie for the first time, and with the sentence "Captain Grande, you're here!" Grace slowly turned her head, and Louis shouted "not good" in his heart!
