It will be a night Hanna will never forget. He who has not been considered, even considered a disgrace to the family now actually gets a lot of attention from everyone.
The people of Adam approached wanting to grab his attention, if lucky to be the lover of his heart. The women want to be friends.
"You look so pretty, Han. I remember you weren't like this before, even you were so timid. However, now you are enchanting with confidence," said the girl who introduced her name Victoria.
"Thank you, Victoria," he said, smiling.
"Where did you get that dress? very lovely. I used to go to the biggest clothing store in London, but I've never seen a model of a dress like that" said Amber, who has gray eyes.
"Oh, I made it myself," said Hanna smiling proudly. At least in the world of this novel, his abilities could still be appreciated even praised.
One by one the girls surrounded Hanna. The girl could not even remember their names. Lucky Julia who was always loyal beside him, whispered their names as Hanna fell silent for a moment.
"You seen Will?" hanna whispered to Julia. The man has not been seen since. It is impossible that he did not come.
"Lady Kate restrained him by introducing him to one of the Duke's daughters" Julia replied in a whisper.
Hanna's face turned moody. She hopes that tonight at least once she will dance with Will. Daring to be the wife of the Earl of Malory, Hanna actually got news that was not wearing.
"See the 12-hour clock" Julia whispered later. Hanna followed those instructions and just then her eyes saw Alex standing opposite a very pretty girl. Perhaps in Hanna's life, it was the prettiest girl she had ever seen.
"Look, it's Iris Lancaster," choked one of the girls surrounding Hanna. Hoopla happens. Hanna should not care, because after all, the man was meaningless, but in fact why did the feeling get so hot? heart disturbed.
Look for Catherine. The girl and her friends were also huddling. Catherine's gaze lost spookily to Alex. One would assume that Catherine was planning Alex's murder.
"I told you, that guy's a jerk, a pervert and unbelievable!" she swore inwardly, squeezing the side of her dress full of annoyance.
"Hi, I'm sorry that I'm late for you. I had a little need earlier," said Will who was now standing nearby.
"Attended by the pretty girl, huh?" hanna sounded cynical.
"I'm sorry. I just wanted to introduce you, nothing more. He's not important to me" whispered Will apologizing sincerely.
The man he liked was already in front of him, already giving an explanation, but why was his heart still hot? moreover, his eyes at this time were still freely able to see Alex seem to smile at the girl named Iris.
Just five minutes with Hanna, Will is called back by someone. "I went there first" he whispered. Hanna just nodded weakly.
"Who's that woman, Julia?" whispered Hanna continued to stare at the two people who were also the center of attention tonight.
Hanna's whisper was heard by Amber. The girl immediately explained to Hanna. "He's the Duke of Claymore's girlfriend. They are phenomenal lovers. It has been a long time since, even rumors that circulated, His Grace always spoiled the woman, obeying whatever she wanted. Only that woman can truly master and tame the Duke" Amber said.
"Did she know that His Grace was going to marry Catherine?"
"If that I don't know. But even if Miss Iris knew, she wouldn't care. It's common for noble husbands to have a mistress after marriage" Victoria continued in the story.
"What?" peekik Hanna did not expect. In this age there is polygamy. Knowing Alex's nature further adds to the bad image in Hanna's eyes.
Under Kosen curled the entrance of the party room, Will stopped his steps towards Hanna's place, and began to nod towards the musician at the end there, for the music to be heard again.
The man wanted to confirm his feelings for Hanna in front of many people. Without hesitation, the man asked Hanna's hand to invite the girl to dance. A clap of applause followed them down to the dance floor.
Music leads them to a world where they only exist. People's gazes no longer cared about Hanna. Even dissolved in the atmosphere, some couples actually went down to dance with them.
"Did I tell you you're so pretty tonight?" will whispered in the middle of their dance.
"You were too busy with your introduction to the Duke's daughter, to miss your chance to say it," Hanna smiled wryly. That's what Will liked about Hanna. The girl could always answer every word to him, and turned her back to her knees.
"Did you miss me? looks like you're jealous," wooed Will laughed crisply.
"Yes, I miss you so much, too,"
"How big?" after Will did not give Hanna a gap to make up.
"Until I really feel hopeless," teased Hanna laughing.
Hanna's laughter was so loose. He rejoices, Will tells a funny thing that managed to tickle his heart, about the Duke's daughter who was too eager to show his status.
At once his eyes were with Alex who had come down with Iris.
Don't mind him, Hanna. Let's just say the crocodile is invisible, already a demon!
However, it seemed that the demon was still watching him. Even every time Will whispers in Hanna's ear, Alex will frown at the sign of dislike. His face was tangled like clothes that had not been ironed.
The first round of music was over, Hanna and Will returned to their place, where Julia had been there watching them with a pushy look.
Hanna remembered that not a single man had asked Julia to dance tonight, while Hanna had even left the number twenty.
"Will, I want you to take Julia to dance" she said seriously.
"Why?" ask Will wonder. Of course Hanna could not explain to Will, that it was a pride for a girl if she was invited to dance by men.
"Just do it, Will. I want you two to dance. Oh, come on, Will. Don't ask too many questions, take her."
Will glimpsed Hanna's eyes, there was seriousness that the girl showed, so Will did.
Five minutes later, Julia and Will were dancing under the lights. Hanna saw how happy Julia was. There was something strange about the way he looked at Will. The unusual look Julia showed when she saw him.
