Chapter 165 - 165 The Wu triplets and the Knights

Jessica was very delighted when she saw Luna and Francois dances and said their vows through a song, she didn't notice that there are a pair of eyes observing her very intently.

"Would you like to give me the honor of dancing with you?" Marco suddenly asks her as he offers his right hand to Jessica. Jessica gave her a puzzled look but she didn't decline at all, she smiled and nods to the offer. ​​

Marco looks at the twins wherein he gave a nod to them on what song to be played, then the song by George Benson "In your Eyes" was heard after the dance of James Su and their Aunt Lily. Marco looks at Jessica's eyes and she did the same, "Are the song is your unspoken word for me Duke Marco" Jessica asks him. 

"Yes, and I have other songs for you if you will only let me take you out from your shell Mi Amore," Marco told her seductively as he grips her waist firmly. 

Jessica blushed for his words towards her and Marco likes it very much seeing her like that as he chuckled he swayed her like they owned the dance floor. Unknown to them the twins are planning something for them, the twins knew that Marco is a good dancer especially when the song "Sway" by Michael Buble will be played. The twins' look at each other and ask the orc.h.e.s.tra to play the song, Marco's eyes widen when he heard the song. 

"Dance for me more My Kitten, we will dance the Foxtrot" Marco whispered to Jessica's ear. What Marco didn't expect is when Jessica also knew the dance steps of Foxtrot (youtube.com/watch?v=b24a_2NPleg; just imagine that Marco and Jessica dance like this); then the song was followed by another song Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps. 

The twins already planned something for the Knights, they already ask the great bosses to permit them to help the Knights in courting the Wu triplets. They arrange something for them after the event that the Wu triplets will surely accept their Knights. 

Francois: "Marco strikes his charm to his date My Queen, he is flirting with your best friend Jessica."

Luna looks to where the eyes of her husband were looking, "That's my song to you before…..it was about the 3rd month after we met" she replied. "And it becomes the daily routine music exercise of the HADES from that moment" Francois replied. When the music was done, both Jessica and Marco are panting after the dance. 

"That was great, I didn't know I can still dance like this again," Jessica said while gasping for air. Marco smiled even though he was panting, "We can dance again later Mi Amore, lets take a break first" Marco told her. 

Far from them Cassie and Samantha together with the other Knights were watching them, "Jessy seemed forgot everything that happened to her in the past, she can dance once again" Cassie blurted out. "Yeah, she already moves on and forgot about that jerk who hurt her feelings, I hope Duke Marco won't do the same to her" Samantha added. The two other twin sister of Jessica didn't bother if the other two Knights will hear them talking about Jessica's past, but through the looks of the Knights in eye communicating; they both mentally note to their minds that the next few weeks will be about investigating about Jessica's past and they need to teach that person a lesson for hurting the heart of Jessica.

"Don't worry, Marco will not hurt your sister, once Marco set his eyes to a woman and he asks her to dance with him; it only means that he will marry that woman in due time" Countess Grace's voice was heard and it gave the four a surprise especially the two sisters of Jessica. Countess Grace was at their back when she heard their conversation, she wants to meet the sister of her future daughter in law that's why she was there but she didn't expect to hear such sad story. 

Cassie and Samantha blushed as they bowed their head, Alexei and Xavier seemed used to their Aunts tactics that they just smiled. "You are scaring our dates Aunt Grace, don't do that because they might not marry us, and Luna's magic will be worn out," Alexei said to them as he stood up and bowed to Countess Grace. "Xavi, your parents want to meet the future miss of your family, you must introduce her to them for this is the first time they will meet Atty. Samantha Wu who is very popular with our family" Countess Grace teasingly informed them.

"Am I that popular with your family Gen. Xavier? Did you sold me out to them?" Samantha asks Xavier while she punches him to on his right shoulder. "NO! I didn't sell you out! Aunt Grace, you are bullying me!" Xavier voice out as he acts like very hurt because of the punch.

Cassie and Alexei laugh out loud for the bantering of the two, "It's good to see that you are blushing and bashful my dear sister, the strong Atty. Samantha Wu is now like a little puppy in the eyes of a jaguar" Cassie tease her more. 

Alexei chuckled as he saw how Cassie tease her sister more, "Aunt Grace, may I excuse myself and my date. We will just dance for a while, I know that you are my mother's emissary just to get some pieces of information about the future miss of the Voronov's" Alexei said as he took the hands of Cassie and they both went to the dance floor. 

Countess Grace smiled for what Alexei has done, "The great doctor of Mt. Olympus Hospital seemed to have someone who catches his attention" the Countess said to herself.

As Jessica and Marco went back to their table, they've found Marco's mother who is smiling at them. Marco doesn't like the way her mother smiles as he already knew that her mother will do everything for him and Jessica to end up with each other. When Jessica saw her, she blushes and bowed her head as a sign of respect, "Mom why are you here at our table? Are you waiting for us?" Marco asks her mother. 

"I want to meet my future daughter in law my son, the twins' are right she is very pretty. I would like to snatch Jessica from you for a while so that we will have bonding as mother and daughter. You won't mind it, my dear?" Countess Grace asks Jessica with glee, Jessica was in awe for hearing such sweet words but she was afraid that the Countess will be rude to her; she looks at Marco pleading to save her. "I don't bite my darling, I'll talk and teach you on how to bully Marco and the other Knights," Countess added as she giggled. Marco sighed as he can't do anything from what his mother has already planned. 

"Don't worry Aunt Jessica, Grandma Grace is sweet and she will just ask you if you can be our Uncle Cheffy's girlfriend and if you can marry him next year" the voice of Dawn was heard on the microphone. Jessica's face turned to crimson red and the face of Marco paled for he didn't know if he will cry or hide for he was already busted. "The twins surely planned this with my parents' blessings," he said to himself. The parents of the Wu triplets' voice was also heard by saying "I will give a price to my triplets, whoever from the three of you could give us a twin or a triplet with the Knights will get a huge prize from us" Marcus announces. 

The triplets were shocked upon hearing their father's wishes….No he was seemed to order them. "Dad! You are selling us?! How could you do this to us?" Samantha's voice was heard out of nowhere. 

"Sorry for that Duke Marco," Jessica said to Marco as she was already embarrassed for what her father have just said, while Cassie seemed didn't mind at all as the two halts from their steps before they went out from the venue. "It seemed that you are not worried about what your father has just announced Cassandra," Alexei said in a serious tone.

Cassie let out a low tone laugh, "As if you are going to court someone like me, you are a Prince and I am just a simple commoner. I just want to give my father his happiness for today, I know he is much worried about Jessica rather on my status of being single. Jessica opened up her heart to your friend as she allowed herself to dance again" she answered Alexei's statement. But Alexei holds her hand and he intertwined onto him, "Who said that I am not going to court you? Who said that I don't like you nor I won't like someone like you?" he asks Cassie. 

Cassie looks at him, then the song by Brett Young - In Case You Didn't Know (feat. Una Healy) was played as Alexei drag Cassie on the dance floor and dance with her. "I would like to spend my Eternity with you Cassandra Wu, and I will court you the way a commoner and a royalty do" Alexei professed to her. Cassie's heart beats as fast as she can't breathe for what she just have heard. "A Prince fell in love with me? To me? WHY?" Cassie said to herself. 

"I will tell you the answers to your question after we deal with the Chen and the Su's�� Alexei again told her that he seemed to read her mind as she stared at him. Alexei chuckled, "The song that was just being played was my song for you, I think you didn't remember me but we have already met before. At Isabele's one runaway projects, that time Luna just rejected my feelings for her, Luna just gave birth to the twins' that time" Alexei explained to her more and out from his instinct he kissed Cassie on her forehead.
