Chapter 228: Formal Mate
I sensed so many different emotions just from observing the women around me. Hope, excitement, fear, dread, and many other emotions that I couldn’t quite identify painted the expression on the faces of so many beautiful women that were gathered around me.
“For tonight, Carmen Lorenz, congratulations you have been chosen to serve Prince Florian. Please do your very best,” Madame Sand announced.
“Aww...thank you. Thank you everyone...” a gorgeous woman with dark brown hair and very wide eyes said before smiling and blowing kisses to everyone around her.
She raised her arms above her head as if striking a victory pose before lowering it down to wave to everyone. From her reaction, I could guess that she was more than thrilled to have been chosen. Also, it didn’t seem like this was the first time that she had been chosen to spend the night with Prince Florian.
“She won’t be the only one and we all know it...” someone muttered close to me.
I turned around to see who had spoken those words but all I saw were women happily smiling and some of them clapping their hands joyously. No matter how much I looked around, I couldn’t seem to find the women who had spoken those words filled with contempt. The sound of Madame Sand clearing her throat brought my attention back to her.
“Asana, congratulations to you. You have been chosen to serve Prince Darius tonight,” Madame Sand announced.
Unlike Carmen, Asana’s reaction was a lot more modest and even almost non-existent to the point where I could hardly identify who she was at first in the crowd. Asana turned out to be a small and thin woman who looked quite young. The blank expression on her face made me believe that she probably wished that she was somewhere else and couldn’t care less.
“Congratulations, Asana!” a woman standing next to hear grabbed her hands before beaming a smile at her.
