Chapter 338: Prom

"You can't hide it from me, you must be afraid of something." William said in the affirmative.

"No, Your Majesty." Uraka. Fighting back the fear in her heart, Ximena teased, "I really don't. ”

"Since you don't want to say it, I can't force you, but please remember that we will be a husband and wife, and if you have any difficulties, you can discuss them with me and share them with me." William whispered softly in Uraka's ear.

Uraka. Jimena's usual calm and sagacity was completely useless at this time, because things developed too suddenly, from the beginning of the coronation ceremony to the present, everything did not unfold according to the predetermined script, so she had a misunderstanding of William, and in her heart reverie for no reason, and even because of the fear after the misunderstanding, she did not dare to take the initiative to ask and solve the misunderstanding.

William's lips were almost against Uraka's cheek, and the hot breath exhaled as she spoke stimulated her earrings without missing a beat, William's left hand was also tightly gripping Uraka's somewhat cold little hand, and his right hand gently soothed the back of her shoulder.

"Tonight's dance, if you're not feeling well, you don't have to force it, let's leave early, how about it?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, and now I'm much better after resting for a while." Listening to William's words of concern, Ulaka suddenly relaxed, perhaps her previous worries and fears were just unfounded.

"Then I'll rest assured, Uraka, so we'll go back to the palace and rest for a while, and then come back to the ball later." William breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and shook Uraka's hands, and said, "Also, Uraka, call me William, you know!" ”

"William..."

"Also, because your previous room was too simple to match my status as a future queen, I gave it to Jenny, so, when you go back, you can only sleep in one room with me." William's voice smiled, but the words in his mouth could not be refused. Uraka was taken aback and was noncommittal.

"If you're too crowded, I won't force you." William whispered.

Since the little tangled in her heart was not unraveled, she could only be cautious in her words and deeds, so she swallowed back the words of rebuttal and nodded in response to William's request.

The ball was held not in the traditional Hall of Lords, but in the newly expanded concert hall called the Hall of Mirrors, so named because of the numerous inlays of glass.

Of course, limited to the technical limitations at this time, the quality of these glasses is not very good, people can not see the gold outside through these colorful broken glass windows, but the moonlight shining through the glass windows still amazes everyone.

"Who's at the ball?" William asked the butler Osborne beside him as he put on his gown in front of the fitting mirror and with the help of the servants.

According to the rules of the ball, he was the last to appear, this ball was very formal, but William did not force everyone to attend, many of the nobles with financial constraints have left, and the rest are loose-handed people, after all, this is the first official ball held by the new king of the Norman kingdom, and it is very humiliating for a person to wear a set of clothes twice.

Osborne's butler, who was waiting on the sidelines, said respectfully: "His Majesty León of Spain, King Ferdinand I of Castile and King Edward the Confessor of England, as well as Earl the Duke of Vices. Godwin and his son Harold, Thibaud, Duke of Champagne, Baldwin V, Duke of Flanders, Caesar, Duke of Apulia, Bishop Stigander, and noble emissaries sent by the King of France and the princes of the Holy Roman Empire. ”

To William's surprise, the people who appeared were among the most powerful in Western Europe.

"Go and inform the queen that we are leaving," William instructed him, arranging his clothes, and in order to show that he valued the distinguished guests, he needed to appear with his fiancée.

"Yes, Your Highness," said Osborne, the butler, bowed and withdrew.

At the same time, William also left the room, although it was impossible to meet directly at the door of the Hall of Mirrors, but it was impossible to let Urakar come to his room once.

William arrived at the royal family's lounge near the Hall of Mirrors, a resting room for the Normandy family, a sign of privilege, where he was to wait for Uraka's arrival.

After waiting for a while, William finally arrived in Uraka. Before entering the Hall of Mirrors, Ximena found her and Jenny with her in the doorway of the Hall of Mirrors. Morality. Dark, looking at their appearance, it seems that the two have become a pair of bosom friends.

Uraka. Jimena and Jenny. Morality. Darker curtsy William in unison.

"Excuse me," said William, helping Uraka up. Jimena, and then helped Jenny up. Morality. Duck.

Jenny's appearance is not much worse than the noble and beautiful Uraka, perhaps because of her age, the twenty-eight-year-old Jenny is a little more mature and beautiful than Uraka.

When William lifted Jenny up, he saw her twinkle at him with a gentle gaze that made him involuntarily attracted to her.

William bent down and put his mouth on the back of her hand, which was a very ordinary kiss, but he kissed very hard before expressing his admiration for Jenny.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty." Jenny was a little embarrassed, frowning and losing her mind.

"Your Majesty, it's time to come, we should go in" Uraka. Although Ximena kept smiling, her words were a little sour, and she would remind her because she saw William's mouth sticking to Jenny for a long time. Morality. On the back of Dark's hand.

"It's prom time," William shook his senses and let go of Jenny. Morality. Dark's hand slowly straightened up and turned towards Uraka. Jimena said, "Let's go in." ”

William looked at Uraka in embarrassment. Ximena, but she consciously lowered her head as if she deliberately didn't want to face him.

"Alright, let's go in." Uraka. Jimena turned around and shook William's hand, and at the same time greeted Jenny behind him. Morality. Dark, before William could react, she had already given a hint to the attendants on both sides, and the attendants were also very dedicated to opening the door of the Hall of Mirrors.

"All ......"

After a solemn trombone sounded, which had been stretched, the guard shouted inward: "Your Majesty the King has arrived, Princess Castille has arrived, and Lady Franche has arrived." ”

In the Hall of Mirrors, in addition to Ferdinand I and Edward the 'Confessor', Duke of Dexsé Earl Frank Will. Godwin and his son Harold, Thibaud, Duke of Champagne, Baldwin V, Duke of Flanders, Caesar, Duke of Apulia, and Bishop Stigander were all automatically lined up in two groups to wait on either side.

In the eyes of everyone, it was not the first time for William to enter the Hall of Mirrors, and he had experienced many occasions in Paris, so he was very calm, even when he saw the princes of various countries and the nobles whispering and whispering, he did not show any superfluous expression.
