Chapter 43: Not as humble as her elder sister
While Venus made Alora feel pathetic, Magnus made her feel at the top of the sky. The dance truly brought happiness to her. Her entire being was in bliss, filling her with ecstasy.
Their dance ended soon bringing applause from the guests present there. Alora couldn’t believe the people cheered for them, but it might be because of their royal status.
"No. They liked our dance. We stole the limelight," Magnus asserted. His fingers trailed her side face before tucking the few hair strands behind her ear. "You learn fast. I knew you were special since the moment I saw you," he whispered.
Alora smiled at him while having watery eyes. His thumbs ran over her eyes, causing them to flutter. "It’s the time for us to leave for the palace," he said.
"Yes," Alora agreed to him. Although, the words that Venus told her hadn’t completely left her mind, the warmth from Magnus overpowered her mind. She heard the people whispers finally, saying how beautiful she was. Such a compliment she never heard before.
"I should put on the blindfold," Alora said.
"I will help you." Magnus reached out to her eyes and gently tied the blindfold to her eyes. "I hate seeing you in this," he murmured.
They were finally back to their seats, where Izaak already awaited them.
"When did you learn to dance?" Izaak asked. "I thought you hated it," he stated. Alora was surprised to learn that.
