I marry the mother of Hero

Chapter 48: I screamed internally ²(2)

~As soon as we entered the hall, Hunter left Aaria telling he needs to do something.

Well he did stumble on the stairs. It seems he isn't fully recovered. I hope today will go well. Suddenly she started to feel hungry and decided to visit a nearby table which had snacks on it.

After 20 minutes.

Hunter is for sure taking his time. Did he left like Lady Lana told me before? It feels like a long time since I have been standing here alone, but I guess this is good for me. I don't want to stand out too much here. Let's just end this night without any commotion and misshapes. That's when suddenly two people in their early twenties walked towards Aaria. They were Dillion Harper Hens and Baron’s Gaslpi son Daren Marcus Gaslpi.
“My lady, it's my first time seeing you at the ball. Is this your first time attending any ball?”. The young man said. ‘Haaa….. I hoped everyone here had left me alone. What does he want from me? Let's just get out of this situation first.
Um…. Ex-Excuse me, can you give me a way, M-My partner is waiting…….” Nah! This life won't work. Hunter isn't present in this Hall and if they found me here alone again, that may lead me to some problems.
“It seems I made a mistake. I am The next heir of the family of Viscount Hens, and I would like to have a first dance with my lady as it seems your partner has left you alone here in an unfamiliar place.” Is he some big shot? By the looks of it, he can be. Viscount’s Hens family runs a bronze mine so yeah, if he figured out who I was. Maybe it will reach the ears of Marquess Helena. Let's just agree with his suddenly someone spoke from behind the blue haired man.

“Who left her alone? May I ask you, Dillion Harper Hens.” It was Hunter.

“Oh! Greetings my lord. As you can see she was standing alone at the ball so I thought I could humor the lady for tonight. It seems her partner left the ball.”
“ I didn't leave. Who are you talking about?”
“ Pardon, my lord.”
“Aria, Let's leave. The Duchess and Duke will be coming out at any moment.” Hunter reaches out for Aaria by extending her hand and I unknowingly grab it. Well it did help me get out of the situation. As soon as I looked behind,
“Please wait a moment my lord. May I ask what is your relationship with your lady?”Hens said.
“She's my Fiance. It seems there are still some people who are ignorant of relationships.” Hunter answered without any hint of doubt.
“Ah it seems I forgot. Please, my lady , forgive me and accept this as my apology.”

He extended his hand on the top of the glass and made two ice cubes in thin air that fell into the glass.

Aria was stunned as Lady Lana also told her,In the society there was a common rule among Nobles decided to follow.
Don't use your blessings in front of Duke's youngest child.

“Thanks for your consideration.” Hunter replied and took the glass from Aria and drank it himself and left.

Wait, he didn't do anything. That was definitely intentional. Did lady Lana tell me lies? No it doesn't seem like it. Even the hens and Daren were stunned. Should I ask someone about the rumors if they are actually true? But who should I ask. As she was deep in thoughts, suddenly announcements started
“ATTENTION EVERYONE! Now will be entering, The Empress of the Kingdom EMPRESS DATELINE ARMA ISOLORA OF ROADYMA”  A guard shouted causing the whole hall to be quiet. Then he shouted,“NOW, THE HOST OF THE BALL WILL ENTER, THE DUKE OF THE SOUTH, DUKE JOHANSSON OLIVER HELSTEIN AND DUCHESS VIOLET LILIANA HELSTEIN and are accompanied by 1st QUEEN'S BATTALION VICE COMMANDER JACOB OLIVER HELSTEIN”.
Well those are main event people but suddenly I heard Hunter sighing.
“~Sigh……”
Wait? We are still holding hands. It seems he is pissed off about it. I should first dissolve this issue so it wouldn't become a major issue.
“ Ah… I'm really sorry. I didn't realized I was being disrespectful to you”
“It was fi….” suddenly Madam Violet called Hunter on the stage? Was he saying something? I hope it isn't something important.

“ As you all Know of News of Hunter's Engagement, we still have to have an engagement party, so I thought why not have it right now. So not only This will be an Annual Family ball party but also Hunter's Lawson Helstein engagement party as well.”

‘Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?”

I screamed internally.
