Bind with Destiny

Chapter 45:

"Sir Mao, do you think the Crown Prince will issue a report that I stepped on his foot once?"

Davina looked at Sir Mao with a teary eye since she thought that the Crown Prince had walked away because he was hurt from being stepped on. Sir Mao pulls her to the balcony and tries to calm her down, she looks like going to cry like a child.

"Shh, did you really step on His Highness's foot?"

Paniniguradong tanong ni Sir Mao sa kaniya kaya naman tinapakan ni Davina ang kaniyang isang paa dahil sa tanong nito sa kaniya imbis na icomfort siya pero sinugurado pa nga kung tinapakan niya ito. Sir Mao winced at her actions and immediately back away from her, Davina glared at him and her teary-eyed was gone because of his actions.

"I didn't. I really accidentally stepped on his foot. Why would I dare to step on His Highness's foot? I want to live longer and enjoy the life of a rich noble before doing something like that,"

Sir Mao sighed in relief that she didn't intentionally step on the Crown Prince, he smiled at her before tapping her shoulder.

"Good, you didn't step on him intentionally. Did he look mad or annoyed after you stepped on his foot?"

"...no, he just asked me if I intentionally stepped on his foot, but I denied it since I didn't really do it intentionally, and he just smiled at me before he took the lead, and I just followed his lead,"

"I see. Then, he is not mad or anything. Also, you both dance gracefully. Now I know why they said that the Crown Prince is the best dancer of the empire, aside from the heir of House Vego. I was surprised that you managed to move gracefully when you were terrible at danci--! AW!"

"Are you complimenting me or not?!"

Davina slapped his shoulders after his statement that she was terrible at dancing, but then she felt strange while she was dancing with the Crown Prince.

"Though the movements were sharper than the usual steps, as if it were like a sword dancing,"

"I thought so since I feel like we are doing swordsmanship, but in dancing,"

"I see. That's why you managed to dance with him gracefully, in short, thanks to hi--!"

"You are really mean to me, Sir Mao!"

Davina kicked his leg for dissing her like she was not in front of him. Sir Mao just laughed at her pouting face and annoyed expression before dodging her continued kicking after she had hit him once.

"My Lady, that's not how a lady act,"

"With you, never mind being a lady. I will teach you a lesson,"

Davina said as she pulled her dress up so she could kick him freely, but then Sir Mao stopped her hand from pulling her dress up since her knees were almost exposed as he looked away.

"I'm going to tell this to her ladyship,"

Sir Mao said as he looked away and stopped her hands from pulling her dress up, Davina sighed as she let go of her dress and looked at him which looking away.

"Fine, you can let go of me,"

Davina said so, and he slowly looked at her and saw that she had let go of her dress. Sir Mao slowly let go of her hands as he sighed in relief that she was listening to him.

"I want to go home,"

"We can go home now,"

"Then, let's go,"

Davina said that she now feels that her feet are starting to ache, and Sir Mao noticed that she is uncomfortable while standing, so he immediately knew that her feet are in pain. Sir Mao offers his arms for her to hold on to so she doesn't argue and just holds onto him before they go inside from the balcony.
