Once Hazel and Richard started to dance together, everyone's eyes were glued on them as if there was no one but only two of them.
They were looking at the couple with awe, anger, resentment, jealousy and many more em0tions, but one thing was for sure, they were not able to keep their eyes away from them.
Amelia gritted her teeth. She had sent them away so that she would have a moment to herself but who would have thought that everyone would forget about her presence and would only notice hazel dancing on the floor,
Drinking all the wine in her glass, she could not bear it anymore and decided to show them what she was worth!
Taking a deep breath, she stood up and walked towards the seat of the crown prince,
"My lord, may I have the honor to dance with you!"
"...." he looked at the girl whose cheeks had turned rosy and whose eyes were looking a bit hazy.
She was drunk! Maybe that was why she had the courage to ask him. At the parties, only men asked women. And not vice versa.
It had never happened that a lady had gone to a man and asked him to dance.
He wanted to deny her and tell her to scream but then he remembered that how hazel had pressurized that she would bring amelia with him as her lady in waiting when she would visit the palace,
There was no way that he would be interested in a selfish and scheming girl like Amelia, but he knew Hazel was making a plan about Amelia in which he had a big role.
Not to forget that every eye was looking at him now. He could not lose his image as a benevolent prince who thought only about his subjects.
With that thought, he hid his irritation and passed a benevolent and kind smile.
"Well, this was the first time that I have been asked by a lady to dance. Since this is one in a century moment, How can I deny that!" Though it sounds like a harmless commnet, it only p0pinted that no other girl would do that as it is against the rules.
But Hazel was too drunk and filled with anger to understand that. She only noticed that the man had accepted her offer and smiled brightly as she swayed a little.
"Thank you, your highness. I am truly blessed that you accepted my invitation!" with that she smiled and bowed her head a bit to show him respect.
Alcastra took a deep breath to not throw the girl on the floor and bear with her while holding her tight to take her properly to the ball area.
Soon they reached there, and started dancing,
"My lord, do you find me attractive?" asked the girl as she fluttered her eyelashes and bit her lips seductively.
She had to act fast and win the heart of the man or everyone would forget about her existence and continue to look at hazel! She could not beat it anymore. She wanted her previous position back!
"My lord, tell me.. Do you like me? Am i beautiful!" she continued when she did not get any reply. Her hands that were on his shoulders moved down towards his chest as she looked at him with a seductive look.
She knew that she was beautiful and no man would be able to control himself if a sexy woman like her would take advances towards him.
With that thought, she was confident that she would get his attention today and reach his bed.
Even if she was taken as his queen not empress, it was still a better position than being the duchess and she was still raging from anger and jealousy that just after kissing her, Jonathan tried to go closer to hazel.
Now she would show him that even she could get the affection of any man she desires.
"..." Alcastra could feel all the nerves of his head were bulging. He wanted to snap at her and throw her away again.
He never knew it could be so tormenting to dance with a girl like Amelia who is so full of herself. He could only act like he did not hear her and wait for the song to end so that he could dance with someone else and leave her behind.
Now he regretted why he accepted when Hazel asked to bring Amelia with her.
He did not know how he would deal with her all the time when it was troubling him to share a single dance with her.
"What happened, my lord? Have I asked such a difficult question or you want to see more of me before answering that question!" she suggested as she lowered her head and looked at the cleavage her v neck dress was showing off.
Though it looked modest from afar, from the close proximity you could have a good view of her assets. When she lowered head, Alcastra's eyes instinctively looked there too and his throat turned dry.
No matter how much he felt irritated, he was also a man, and continuously provoking god created heat in his body too.
Looking at him standing there, a winning smirk formed on her lips. So, behaving like a drunk actually helped her. All the haziness from her eyes disappeared when a sneer formed on her lips.
But when he looked above, her face was looking astill red with heat and her eyes were looking a bit diluted due to the wine she had drunk and he shook his head. Just what was he thinking?
She was a drunk lady and speaking gibberish due to that. He could not take her words seriously! He shook his head to get rid of those foolish thoughts when she slowly leaned on his head.
"My lord, I wonder how this firm body would feel when I would be beneath it and would hold me in your arms after making love to me!"
"........."
