Chapter 22: Banquet [2]
Slow, ambient music played in the ballroom as Lucien and Selene danced in the middle.
They didn’t bother with others’ opinions about them, and they were lost in their own world.
"You promised me an interesting gift tonight, Lucien." She leaned onto him and whispered.
Lucien’s body shivered slightly as he felt tickling in his ears. "Of course, you can look forward to that."
Selene was let down slightly, still being kept in the dark about it.
Lucien noticed the expressions and whispered back, "Trust me, m’lady, the wait would be worth it."
As they continued their conversation, the other couples in the ballroom also started joining them in the dance, inspired by the connection between the main couple.
The three queens were sitting down in their own designated chairs, a step down from the main dais.
The first and the third queens were eyeing the King, hoping he’d ask them for a dance, but Maria couldn’t care less.
Out of the three queens, she was the only one who had the worst relationship with the king.
But the king looked down on everyone with no emotion on his face.
