Surviving As The Protagonist

Chapter 28: Old Friends

The event-by-event continues as it should, though the event heats up a bit with minor showdowns. Some think Lucy is deliberately making things worse, and some think that Sheyra started the fray from the beginning.

The party officially began accompanied by the orchestras who played the music with their music. The show continues with the first dance of the main character at the party, Sheyra with her dance partner, the Crown Prince.

...»«...

‘Wait.. wait.’.

‘Why can this be?’ ask her with her clenched hands.

We recall that a few minutes earlier, Sheyra did not give up on her efforts, when the greeting was completed accompanied by a small speech from the main character. The show continues with the first dance, it was supposed to be the first dance the girl did with her father which indicates that this is their last dance, because in the future and so on, their dance will be done with her fiance.

But the reality is not like that.who is, Sheyra instead dance with him, it does not matter if we do not follow the tradition, but what does it mean from this scene?

Lucy wanted to stop them, but the noble Lady had already swarmed over her. In addition, the reason they were quite far away was because the Crown Prince had been talking to several other nobles.

Seeing his high status, naturally the nobles did not want to miss this opportunity to greet the Crown Prince. It was a pesky thing when Sheyra walked up to him and stretched out her hand to ask him to dance in front of the nobles.

“Your Majesty!” he called her who was not even listened to by the man. When Reygan smiled and received Sheyra's helping hand, Sheyra simply smiled with satisfaction as she looked at her. His gaze seemed to say ‘I'm the winner.’

On the other hand Lucy looked vexed at the gaze of the Crown Prince that deep when looking at another woman, ‘Why are you smiling like that to her? You didn't hear my remark?’ ask him who really doesn't understand.

‘When you said you just wanted to dance with me, but instead you danced with a happy-‘ he said now stopped when he saw the ruby iris from a distance.

‘He doesn't look happy.’

continue with a very sad look.

‘Again, those eyes were seen again. Can I be sure that His Majesty's current actions are not his wish? What is the reason?’ he began to feel frightened.

Seeing those who dance beautifully makes Lucy's body creep, her shoulders seem to shake, she believes she is not jealous when she sees their sights.

But he was only afraid, ‘What if His Majesty's feelings deepened towards him?’ the sound of his heart being scared.

‘I don't want to die! I don't want to die! I don't want to die! I don't want to die! I don't want to die! I don't want to die! I don't want ma—’

“Nona!”

“Ehh?” The touch of someone made him realize from his terrible daydream, his head was now raised to watch the Lady who was looking at him with a worried look (?)

“You okay?” her confused tan when Lucy looks dreamy with a deathly pale face.

“I'm fine, it looks like I'm a bit exhausted.” he said with a friendly smile arch.

‘True yes, I will be in conversation with Mrs Theiryl.’ He said suddenly.

Mistress Theiryl looked at him with a worried look when she saw the look on her face, she felt the woman's feelings were sincere for her.

“You should disperse immediately, let Miss rest for a while.” her request to the other Lady, and there are both of them at this time.

Strangely the other ladies look at him not like. More precisely they looked at Madam Theyril with envious and annoyed gazes.

Marchionest Theyyl now took Lucy to help her get away from the crowd of nobles, they walked towards the sofa provided there.

“You are not afraid?” ask Lucy wonder. ‘

He seemed to understand the look on my face that seemed uncomfortable. She's Theiryl's young mistress, isn't she?’ thought suddenly.

“To Miss?” the question is, it looks confused.

“Eng— nobility will talk a lot about me.” he said that even looks clumsy.

“That's it. em I also don't believe the rumors. But what I heard about Miss around me was just good things,” she replied that either just wanted to calm her feelings or was intent on seeking attention.

“The young lady was too flattering to me.” her soft look was accompanied by a small laugh, Lucy seemed to occupy the sofa comfortably.

“No! You are awesome!” he was really excited.

“Haa?”

Crick..

Crick..

Lucy looked a little confused. He was a Marchionest, but he looked a little like a child. However, their age is not far off, and Silvhia Theiryl seems to have married at a young age. His sudden attitude confused him.

But, “Thank you.” he replied with a sincere smile. She was grateful to him for distancing himself from the crowd.

His eyes were now fixed on them, he thought let them dance as much as they could, Lucy just wanted to be quiet like this, after all he did not want to dance with the other male royals.

His eyes now bow with a sad feeling, ‘Padahat I want to show this dance ability for you. But you even dance with other women, especially why should Sheyra..’ sad in the heart.

Though he had trained desperately even to his feet hurt when forcing himself to dance with his shoes that have high rights.

‘Nona looks sad again.’ weep the girl with the pink mane.

“I will bring you drinks and snacks, wait a minute ya!” the door turned around.

But he immediately blocked his wrist.

“While the memory we have is not bad, but the rumor of Miss's memory lost long ago is true huh?” ask the woman suddenly. The look in his eyes now looked sad as he looked at his brown netra.

“I'm Silvhia, your close friend when in the academy. We are one generation, Miss Lucy.” she said with a sincere smile, she looks longed because she has been separated for a long time.

‘Ah... Lucy has friends?’

confused when understanding the current situation.

“I'm sorry Nyonya—”

Grep's!

Lucy's wrist is now choked by him, the girl really looks desperate, while on the other hand her face looks happy when she can talk to him after a long time. “My friend never called me by that designation, you always call me by my name, Silvhia.” he said firmly.

Lucy's face is slightly wrinkled, ‘I just don't remember about you because Lucy's friend is just the Crown Prince.’ His mind felt completely confused.

His head was now slightly shaking violently, he felt dizzy. At the same time his memory appeared, the memory of them suddenly flashed through his head.

It seems true that Lucy and Silvhia have been together since they entered the magic academy, seeing the sweet memory of Lucy and Silvhia having lunch together with their broken laughter.

They also told me about their respective romance, where Silvhia told me about a noble who he said liked himself, it turns out that the man is Theyril who is now the head of the Marquest family at a relatively young age.

‘So you are not lying yes, it seems that you are also married.’ he said with a sigh.

He thought that mistress Theiryl was the one who wanted to mess with him, it was unexpected that they were close friends.

But now next to his eyebrows appear to rise a sign of being thinking hard, “If you are my friend, you are where when my sister is gone?” ask without feeling. Silvhia just looked down with a guilty look.

“Two years ago also the previous years I was just an ordinary folk, but Miss warmly wanted to be friends with me who was ostracized in the academy. I, who is a citizen, cannot wander so easily at the side of Miss, that I can face in front of you at this time because Mr. Theiryl proposed to me only one year ago.” he said with a sad tone, his head is now down with regret for not being able to stand up and support Lucy next to him.

“Stop! You are currently a Marchionest, do not say things that make people misunderstand so.” check it while holding Silvhia's shoulder.

If following the current title, Lucy is only the Count's daughter compared to her Marchionest self.

“Ah the—”

“Alright, sorry thanks to Madam I now remember her again.” softly with a rotating head.

‘This makes me dizzy.’

his weakness was accompanied by a cold throat that began to pour on his forehead.

It was indeed very surprising to her, Lucy thought they were friends between nobles. However it turns out that Silvhia is just an ordinary folk who is talented in the field of magic, she can enter the noble magic academy as well because of getting a scholarship from the Marquess family.

“I think, you're really angry. Because since a year ago Miss always walked straight without looking at me.” he said with a lowered face.

‘Can you duck in front of Princess Count.’

the mind that feels bad.

It seems that Silvhia remained isolated despite being a noble, due to her former status as a commoner.

“Already, let's sit down,” the door is tired.

In the end, they now seem to chat lightly with some waiters who deliver drinks and snacks. Lucy's eyes now look straight back at the main star of this party, if seen like this they are indeed harmonious.

But in the end he was seen sighing heavily, ‘Dancing has ended, is Your Majesty no intention to invite me to dance?’ ask the girl who is now just silent resigned.

If this is free with the debate he did with Sheyra before. It seemed that Silvhia was also one of the people who had always defended her among the nobles earlier, she was slightly moved by it. If you think about the reason the nobles look at him dislike apparently because of the mass of Silvhia.

“Are you going to let them just like that?!” he cried with a face he did not like.

“You mean Your Majesty?” confused, the girl seemed to notice Reygan who was even cool talking with Sheyra accompanied by other nobles. It was as if forgetting the dispute just now.

“I don't care, after all if I oppose them more than this, then I will only look more miserable,” he said accompanied by a slurred laugh.

The woman's eyelids look red as if she wants to cry. ‘Once again the look on his face was like that.’ thought he was completely clueless with Silvhia's attitude.

“Are you not jealous? You will love His Majesty!” he felt that this was unfair.

‘Ha? Apparently when at the academy, Lucy told me about her feelings yes, this is troublesome.’ her inner self who is not so happy.

“I know that we are good friends, but you should not talk about things too deeply. Because in a place like this, their eyes and ears are attached to pay attention to us.” the whisper is sharp right beside his ears, this is not a request but a command.

Degs..

‘Why do I really feel that Miss has indeed changed a long time ago?’ silvhia asked in her heart. He really felt unfamiliar with the aura of this Lady in front of him.

The look on her face was so visible that she looked hurt, Lucy just sighed, ‘I don't want to be rude to you, but the other lady's gaze made me feel uncomfortable. Their eavesdropping ears could have created another rumor.’ he said who was really careful to look around.

The clinking of the shoe that was getting closer made the two women who were relaxing turned their eyes towards him, a girl with a beautiful violet mane now approached them with an unusual gaze. “I do not intend to interfere, but Lady Barayev, it seems you should indeed give the woman a lesson.” her advice suddenly.

Federica Halstead, Princess of Duke Halstead who held the position of chairman of the upper class Lady Society. Lucy looked at his face with caution.

‘With what intention for a Lady that dear one came to me?’
