Ch. 9 The ball

Ch 11 The ball

Saitou pov

As I got back to my room from the library, a massager told everyone that there will be a ball held tonight.

I quickly pick out a dress that I like.

>>>>>>>>

As soon as we reach our designated table in the ballroom, a massager yells out Prince Michio arrival.

As Prince Michio descended down the staircase, all eyes were on him. some girls were eye raping prince Michio while other were drooling.

As soon as Michio step onto the plate form, he was surrounded by young ladies, asking his permission to be his dance partner.

I let out a chuckle. keep him busy girls, so that I don't have to meet him for tonight.

While most of the girls were surrounding Prince Michio, there were also some girls including me who were sitting at their table eating food and chatting.

I am so lonely; my table were empty except me. Most people who were sitting with me left to surrounded prince Michio.

I was starting to get nervous since I don't have anyone to talk to while the other table has a least two people.

Just keep eating and look down Saitou. I told myself.

As I finish eating, I decided to look up and at that moment my eye met prince Michio who were also looking my way.

I instantly look the other way.

I turn my head back to see if he was still looking at me and there he was, staring at me.

I frowned.

He suddenly let out a grin.

"please excuse me, as I got an important business to attend to." He said with his charming and sweet voice. He clapped his hand and a group of beautiful performers appear at the center of the ball.

As soon as the performers got the attention of everyone in the ballroom. He starts walking toward me.

No No No No, please god, make him stop walking toward me.

immediately, I stood up from my table and start walking toward the garden that was outside of the ballroom. I spot a table nearby and I sat on it.

Phew, that was a close one.

"are you scared of me?"

I suddenly turned stiff. very slowly, I turned around.

Michio, standing behind me as he looked at me curiously. As if a wolf was about to devour a sheep.

I tried to calm myself down.

Saitou: "no"

He nodded, "then is it okay if I may sit here?"

I frown, "Okay. Then I'll just find another table."

I was about to stand up but Michio grab my arm.

Michio: " Sit"

I shook my head, "your majesty kindly asked this table, so my humble self will sincerely obliged."

Michio: "Sit. This prince orders you to do so."

come on! let think of a good excuse.

Saitou: "Alright, but I have to go to the bathroom first."

I said as I try to pry his hand away.

I only made it worse, he held my arm more firmly than before.

Michio: "Then I will escort you to the bathroom. I don't want my companion to ditch me."

Saitou: "goodness, why would I do that."

Michio: "didn't you just turn your back on me as I was approaching you?"

I stared at him before laughing awkwardly.

Saitou: "no need. A commoner like me being escorted by a prince wouldn't look too good. Now, could you please let my hand go?"

He suddenly pulled my hand making me face him much closer than before.

Michio: "I don't care."

he said with a smirk.

I was unhappy when he tries to move closer to kiss me.

I was in a state of panic until I remember my solution 1.

Saitou: "I'm sorry your highness"

I then kicked Michio's family jewel.

He suddenly crouch down in pain and I took that chance to get away.

Michio: "You! you're not going to get away with this!"

Saitou: "I already did"

I laughed out loud before I ran away.

I didn't go back to the ballroom, instead I ran for about four minutes. Then I start walking in this unknown place.

I was looking for any sign where I was until I saw a direction map and it look like I am walking to the inner palace garden
