Chapter 64: The Play (VIII).
As the hands were still upon reach, the villainess nodded and accepted the dance offered by the actor.
"I will gladly dance with you." (Lady Evelyn) takes his hands and soon the visual effects department had to work.Lady Serene looks up at the ceiling where they were using a bit of magic to produce a light effect, it may be simple and weak compared to the actual skills of a light magic user but it gets the job done. "Lights!"
They opened their grimoire and chanted a spell.
"Flassiligitem!"
Light followed them as they danced, their voices were clear as they continued to recite their lines. The actor for the grand duke was a good dancer and so was the villainess. "My compliments might have been late but truly you look stunning in your dress today, your highness."
"Thank you, Grand Duke Pierre for your praise."
"If I may be bold to ask, have you found anyone that you fancy in this ball?"
"No, not at the moment."
"Then I am not too late to propose?"
Everyone from the crowd gasps, up to this point of the play how will the flog prince's love route become available for the princess? After all he sang only of wanting power and not love! The frog is a much better suitable love interest than him!
The music suddenly becomes deep and it gives you the feeling of seeing the unseen threat in front of you. The mood shifts from romantic to serious, uncomfortable and tight to breathe. "You... are not I suppose."
"Apologies if I may be so bold with my proposal. I know women like men who know what they want." He twirls the princess and puts her in a low dip. "And I want you."
"..."
How many... men have told her that already?
"Apologies but I do not feel well. I think we'll need to stop dancing for now." The princess lets him go after feeling something was off about him- it wasn't the first time that she would have men surround her for her hand in marriage but something about him didn't seem right. "Good day to you, grand duke."
The grand duke could only raise his eyebrows out of shock and anger.
As the princess was about to be on her way, he laughed nervously blocking her way. After all of his time in the north, there is no way he is going to pass on this chance. "I-Is that so? Your highness then it is my duty as the gentleman to escort you to your room."
"There is no need for that, grand duke. I am capable of getting to my quarters safely without your help."
"Or perhaps you just need some assistance if you do not feel well. I know some things that might help you unwind, your highness." The actor of the grand duke places a hand on her shoulder, Lady Evelyn knew that this was part of the script so she acted afraid and fearful of the grand duke's unconsented physical touching. "The northern way is what we call them."
'Okay from the script and practice- I remember that the frog needs to cause a commotion before running away to help the princess escape from the grand duke.'
