Chapter 27 : The Villain in a Tux

Your POV

   I loop my arm with Papa Snow. As a new song starts to play up. We start off by facing different directions with our forearms against each other. We start to circle one another as we constantly switch, until finally we bow to one another and take our positions. We begin to swirl and move across the dance floor slowly, our pace and footsteps following the rhythm of the beat.  

  "You've grown into such a fine, young beautiful woman, (Y/n)." He twirls me out and spins me leading me back to the previous positions. "I was only raised by the best of the best." I say while smiling. 

  We start to circle one another again as the song reaches it's end. And when it does, we bow once more, but when we straighten up we hear applause from the audience. I start to feel nervous until I feel a sudden presence behind me...not a very good one either. I turn to see a man, wearing a classy tux. I look up to see his face, his black hair swept back and neatly combed. His facial structure strong yet angelic at the same time, but I feel something dark. His green eyes glow as he approaches Papa Snow. 

  "May I have a dance with your daughter?" His voice is low as if he may sing in an opera. I look over to Papa Snow and see something I've never seen before in his eyes.

Fear...

  I quickly glance around to find Levi drinking champagne, but when he looks over his eyes widen and become filled with anger. I see him look to me, but I raise my hand secretly for only him to see. He stops from moving. I can see his jaw clench in frustration, but he knows I know something is wrong and to let me handle it.

  "May I have this dance Miss?" The man holds out his hand. I hesitantly take his hand and quickly glance at Papa Snow. His eyes still filled with fear and anxiety. This man....if someone not to be trusted and his known to be well feared.

  The music starts up another song as we bow to one another. We take our positions and start to dance. 

  "You seem to be the shining star tonight Miss Moon."

  "Yes...it's seems like it. What is your name, if I may ask?"

  "My name, ha! Well, I'm the one hosting this ball tonight. My name is Vallotton, Casper Vallotton."

Casper....no....

  Is this the Casper, the one that murder my parents all those years ago. The one that manipulated them. 

  "M-my humble apologies Mr. Vallotton. I wasn't told of who was the host of this beautiful ball."

  "It's quite alright, no need to apologize. I see you've some with Lance Corporal Levi. He hasn't come with a date ever since he's been invited to these balls. He did quite well bringing such a fine young woman along with him. And one he's found such an intimate affection for."

  "Yes. He can be 'scary' at times, but he's still a human who can show emotions, but choices are not for us to decide, they are for his own reasons and his own reasons only. I trust he'll tell me when he's ready."

  "You seem to understand people. You try to understand someone from their perspective. That's a good quality Miss Moon." The song soon ends and bow once more as we go excuse ourselves. I make my way over to the group and I immediately take Levi's hand. 

  "It's him...he's the one that...you know..." I whisper in his ear. Both of my hands were gripping his hand, I start to look around and see if I see Casper. When I spot him, I see him talking to some woman who look like their part of the royal family. 

  "Hey, calm down. I sure he didn't sense anything alright. I could hear your conversation from here, if he did sense something I would've come over with a solid excuse." He heard our conversation....

  "Y-you..uh heard all of it?"

  "Yes." He kisses me no the head causing me to blush a bright red. 

  "Thank you. For understanding." I smile at him and peck him on the lips.

  I start to talk to Hanji and Mikasa before they go onto the dance floor. When they dance, I could see the biggest smile on their faces. Those better treat them right.

  Soon I start to glance all around the room to come to a stop when I spot her highness herself. Queen Amelia. She looks absolutely beautiful, like she just belongs in a ball room and for the throne. Well...technically she does, but she just seems so elegant and proper. Her gown is one of a kind for sure. Her white hair sweeps along down her back in elegant, but soft curls. Her bright blue eyes are so magical. I've heard she is possesses the Medical Magics. One of the few Legendary magic to possess. She's followed by another woman who seems to be head of security and the Queen's personal bodyguard. Her body guard has the same white hair, but with bright emerald eyes that could pierce through stone. I can see that she carries a rapier, her weapon of chose by the looks. But...I can see, what looks like wind markings along the blade and handle. She must be a magical of Wind, a rare gift.

  As I was examining, I finally zone back into reality when I see her highness coming over towards me.

Did I stare for too long?
