Queen and King: Bound for the Throne

CHAPTER V: LAST DANCE EVENT

Himawa's heart was beating fast, but she was able to hold and regulate her breathing well as she still danced with Naveed gently, Naveed's face was so calm and peaceful as his hand held her waist and one hand held hinawa's hand to guide the dance neatly.

Their dance was so graceful, the other nobles stopped and stared in awe at the two of them, William was lost in thought...

"Huft-"

William's face looked a little sad and reluctant to see Himawa and Naveed dancing together, until the woman beside him cheered herself up

"hwooo They're so cool!"
The surrounding nobles glanced at her, the woman froze and blushed, William looked at her and chuckled, the woman looked at William laughing.

"Wh-what's so funny huh!?"

William stopped laughing and smiled.
"You freak!"

She blushed once again and covered her face...

"What's your name?"

"Huft, I'm sure he'll leave before he answers me.. again "...
William's voice was barely audible.

"Reiya."

William's eyes instantly opened and looked at Reiya, it was the first time a girl answered the question about name.

William smiled sweetly

"Ah.. yes well my name is Prince Edelhart de William.. you are very beautiful, Miss Reiya.."

William's blue hair was instantly wavy with laughter.

Reiya was silent looking at William.
William looked at Reiya from above.
"By the way why are you so shor-"

"Shut up"
Reiya looked coldly at William.

"Ahahaha, So adorable, well... by the way,"

William  Gently extending his hand towards Reiya, William immediately asked Reiya to dance...pulling Reiya's waist towards him and pulling her to the middle of the dance floor..

"E-eh!!"

William and Reiya danced well, the two couples danced in the middle of the place where the nobles stopped for a moment to watch them..

The noble ladies jeered and grumbled as they watched Reiya dance with Prince William.

"Hey look, why did she manage to dance with Prince William.. she's good at flirting!"

"Yes I agree, even though Prince William rejected us, he managed to steal her.. what a bithc!"

"Maybe because you guys are ugly"
The noble women stared at the noble man..

"WHAT!? CAN YOU SAY AGAIN.. I CAN'T HEAR YOU"

the man was silent shivering

"Miss.. I was just kidding. AKH!"

Meanwhile

Reiya looked at William who smiled sweetly at her, Himawa and Naveed danced in circles and William danced with Reiya spinning, making the dance even more beautiful..

William turned his head slightly towards Naveed and Himawa.. then returned his focus to dancing with Reiya.
"Your eyes are very beautiful, miss."

Reiya blushed when she heard William's words...

On the other side, King of Selverath Nocturne de Edelhart was staring at William chuckling and then dance with a girl... the king of Selverath smiled at William

The dance continues. Naveed gazed at Himawari calmly and peacefully, his eyes looking closely at Himawa's face, "Himawa's eyes are like jewels, dark red, very beautiful..".

Naveed spoke in his heart, his heart kept commenting about himawa...

Naveed shifted his gaze briefly to stop commenting on himawa, but his eyes could not leave himawa...his eyes searched for her eyes...

King Selverath, looking at Naveed who was dancing gracefully with himawa, King Selverath smiled

"He looks so much like his father...ah I remember those old days... His face is still always cold with women, I don't know what they think when they dance with women, father and son...just the same"...

a moment before looking at himawa..

"That girl, why is she- so similar to-"
"..."

King Selverath paused and sighed and walked away...

After himawa and Naveed's dance was over...
Naveed bowed slightly in respect.

Himawa slightly lifted her dress with both hands gently and gracefully signifying respect.

William and Reiya do the same thing, which is to give each other respect.

The royals applauded.

Naveed's eyes did not leave Himawa.. he remembered her well,
"She..that girl..."
I remember her.
Naveed closed his eyes after saluting and went back..
Himawari looks at Naveed leaving..

"What's wrong with him.."
....

Himawa turned around as well and went outside and walked down the halls of the palace. Then smile

"...Mother....I saw it up close haha"
Himawari made small talk while walking...

Himawa is daydreaming again , Mentioning his mother's name reminded him of the past... including Evan who first taught him many things.

"Evan..Actually...where is he, after the evacuation, there is no sign of him or his body..."
Himawa continued walking down the hall of the palace, staring at the fireflies that lit up amidst the beautiful roses,..

"...."
Himawari stood facing the garden. Taking a breath of fresh air... then he heard the sound of footsteps, Himawa turned towards the sound, and saw King Selverath..
Himawa faced King Selverath and bowed respectfully..

"King of Selverath Nocturne de Edelhart"

King Selverath nodded,

"Miss..can we talk?"
