Surviving As The Protagonist

Chapter 29: Call for Dance

The arrival of Federica Halstead who approached Lucy was enough to attract the attention of the nobles.

Federica is the strongest candidate to be Queen in the kingdom of Garfield, only it is unfortunate that her perfect self of power does not have magic power like Lucy. So he was expelled from the candidate for the Queen just like that. Lucy had a faint smile, only this time had she heard that power could not guarantee a political marriage?

However, ‘At the end of the Novel, Sheyra and Her Majesty are still married right? Does red pepper have magic power? Didn't you?! Funny, what power of love can change the rules and rules of history that have been set for a long time? For from every royal descendant, to marry the King to a sorceress.’ Lucy seems to think hard about their problems that seem to never end.

But his little head seemed to think of one thing, what was the matter with the Lady of the distinguished family coming towards him?

It seemed that from earlier also the woman was just enjoying and paying attention to this situation from a distance.

In the end Lucy resurrected herself then whispered with her blue lace fan covering her face, “It seems that there is no need for the Princess.Your Majesty also did not reject the invitation of the woman because she felt sorry for him. Think of it as the incident to cover up Sheyra's increasingly damaged reputation.” whispered in a tone that meant to demean Sheyra.

Her Violet Netra seemed to tremble when she heard word-for-word speech from him, Lucy's words were really so shocking for her.“Wah~ Lady turns out to be a cool person huh!” with a cheerful face.

“?!!” Lucy's face seemed surprised by Princess Halstead's response, it was a bit awkward in her opinion.

“Today's Lady looks more radiant than the main character of the party!” he held both Lucy's hands.

“For that I agree!” silvhia suddenly cried out. The two of them were looking at Silvhia's face.

“Ah Mrs Theiryl, I forgot to greet you because Lady Barayev looks so radiant. Nice to meet with Madam, I heard that this time Madam is pregnant 2 months huh?” the sap that turned towards Silvhia.

“It turns out the Princess has heard it, it's true, because for the sake of maintaining the health of my baby, during these two months I rarely follow the party, I rarely follow the party, I also apologize for not following the tea party gathering lately.” replied the girl while smiling shyly with her hands tucked away to rub her small stomach.

“No problem Mrs Theyril, your health is the most important,” he replied kindly.

‘This was unexpectedly turns out Lucy's friend was pregnant young? How exciting this would be if the real Lucy heard the news.’ he said which was truly amazed.

“Congratulations on your pregnancy Young mistress, Princess and Lady Theyril also look charming today.” Lucy replied with a thin smile.

“I think Lady is a bit difficult to approach.” said her friendly, at first glance she looks disappointed because Lucy is a bit difficult to be invited to say hello if not an important thing. But at the same time, Violet's netra looked sharp when she looked at him.

‘But it is true, I am indeed lazy to follow the association of noble ladies and prefer to poya-poya alone.’ thought he who felt the words of Princess Halstead was not wrong.

“I heard that Princess's brother has earned the title of knight sword master huh? Wah congratulations ya~” said he who switched the conversation, with alacrity the woman's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

“True Lady, thank you,” her answer that really sounds familiar.

Plastered from a distance, the three of them were so comfortable to talk about something light. The nobles thought that the two of them would recruit Lucy to enter the upper class noble society.

Lucy has always been a subject of conversation between them, but she is not a part of them. If you look back, Princess Halstead who is the leader of the association until approaching Lucy like this, is not it likely that it will happen?

Their estimates are not wrong. Because Putrri Halstead seemed to approach Lucy with such intentions.

“Anu— Mr. Putri—” Silvhia seems to want to convey something, but the woman looks hesitant.

“Ya Lady Theiryl?” turn the girl towards him.

“What if we take Miss Lucy to our society, by chance this weekend we will have a tea party at my residence right.” the door suddenly.

Although he was somewhat isolated, rumors about the Princess circulated that he embraced the young Marchionest and became friends with her regardless of her mass status.

‘If you see their relationship is good enough, it means it is true. Is he approaching me because Silvhia is also with me?’ suddenly his mind.

“That's a great idea, what if Miss wants to accept our invitation at the weekend?” ask her suddenly, her face— no! Their faces seemed to look expectant to hear a kind answer from him.

‘Are you two conspiring to plan this for me ?! Silvhia is okay, because I was given a sudden memory of her. If the Princess is a bit— Lucy also seems not to respond when I am nearby. This indicates that in the life of the novel or at this time they do not have any relationship with Lucy.’ his assumption suddenly.

But according to him, there is no harm for Lucy to accept the invitation. Only, it seemed a bit difficult for him to travel when he himself was also in brackets in the Crown Princess' palace. But this offer should not be rejected, he just has to think of some reasons to talk to Reygan later.

Her face now looked up at the two of them after considering their invitation, Lucy replied, “Happy!” accompanied by a big smile.

Lucy knows that Princess Federica Halstead is not that innocent, her pretty sharp eyes are indeed a bit suspicious. He just thought it seemed like the woman approached him not so sincere as Silvhia, only that there must be shrimp behind the stone. What he felt towards him was that the Duke Princess wanted to contain a connection to him who was the Crown Prince's fiancee.

Again Pula, isn't it alright to follow such an alliance of nobles? Lucy also did not have so many friends and strength behind her back other than the title of the best witch at her age which was quite young, one thing was unthinkable in her mind, what if she was just good friends with him?

Because at least, ‘I need strength and connection to fight and suppress Sheyra.’ thought it was really far away.

If her marriage is to be held with the Crown Prince, at least she needs the strength to protect him from the dark wizard's accusations. In addition to protecting himself from the threat, he can also link political gains between them.

The well-dressed Sir Emillo approached Lucy with a stern face but also a friendly look. The man with his white mane also actually got the invitation of this party from Sheyra, because no matter how rumors of his prayers are illegitimate children, he is still the son of the Duke who is credited in the battlefield.

Note: Actually he did not want to attend the party called by Sheyra, but he came because he wanted to escort the Crown Prince there. Similarly, the Crown Prince feels disinterested in attending this little party, but Lucy seems to want him, in the end he offers himself to be his partner.

In the end, they did not dance

‘( ͠° ͟ ͜ʖ ͡ ͠°)’

“What's sir?” tanyanya confusion.

With a friendly smile, she invites Lucy to dance with her. His eyes seemed rounded in surprise, the current situation alone was already murky with the Crown Prince dancing with Sheyra in front of all the nobles.

But the look in his eyes seemed to ask not to refuse his request, ‘True too, I have to reply to Reygan's annoying deeds. Would she be jealous if I danced with the knight master you tipped to protect me?’ tanyanya was really curious.

In the end Lucy received a helping hand and they walked to the middle of the ballroom to follow the dance, where the nobles were also dancing there. Previously he seemed to say goodbye first to Lady Theyril and Princess Haidsteal who were talking with him earlier.

Not to forget at this time, every step by step they shouted the Lady who was so pounding when she saw Sir Emillo would soon dance, however Sir Emillo had a handsome face that was not playing.

The classical music played by the orchestra featured a melody so beautiful to hear, it spun and swung with the handsome young man who tried to lead the dance for him.

Lucy felt no problem if today can only dance with Sir Emillo, because her first dance she had done with Reygan even though her dancing ability was still bad.

If he can't dance with her, doesn't he just have to show her this dance, right?

The wavy blonde hair was so beautiful and seemed to shine with a knock on each leg. Lucy really looks beautiful with her dance that looks without that gap.

The Crown Prince seemed confused when he noticed the two of them dancing in the ballroom. The man with Ruby's iris looked annoyed as he looked into her eyes. ‘Pandanhan we met.’ on the other hand somehow look cold eyes like empty souls.

‘Lagain highlight those eyes.’

Lucy performed her dance well, intending to show Reygan and say ‘Look at me.’ Emillo's face in front of her looks flushed when looking at Lucy up close, “Her face Miss is good at dancing,” she said, intending to give a compliment to Lucy, he who heard it only responded with a small laugh.

“Sir also turned out to be able to dance skillfully,” he replied in a soft tone.

It seemed like the young man looked timid. But the look of his face was immediately neutralized with the jaw of his face that looks firm.

‘True, his face was like a masterpiece. It's just a pity he's not a potential successor to the Duke family because it's just an illegitimate child, but his white hair is currently really glistening dazzling eyes.’ praise the girl while looking at her face fixedly.

‘When there is someone who loves him sincerely this beside him, but Lucy still chose Reygan huh? His face was also handsome, but his feelings could not be changed at will. Lucy's feelings are indeed so deep to His Majesty, especially as life is today, Emillo will also not love me, I just feel that way.’ he said with his eyes closed.

‘I thought this way, because someone seemed to send me a picture of the future. But it wasn't Lucy, so who was it? The future depicts you with someone who loves you, Sir I hope you do not have to suffer by enduring guilt when Lucy is gone.’ he had time to stop his thoughts, sir, then his thin lips displayed a smile that was so sincere.

‘My color will not die.’ he continued full of confidence. He really wanted to change all the grooves that from the beginning had been this mess. If the previous title of the novel was Sheyra the winner, then he would make that Lucy the archer.

His mind now fell on Sir Emillo who asked him to speak.

“The reason I invite you to dance is because in order to avoid the suspicion of the nobles.” he said with their fingers that are still linked, they still dance and will never stop when the song played is not finished.

“What is it?” tanyanya's confused.

“This is about Miss Sheyra.” she said again really slowly.

?!

“Can't that be talked about in the palace?” tanyanya who felt astonished.

“There is an urgent and suspicious thing, I want to convey that now. If Miss and I go to the balcony together, then Miss will get the rumor of not wearing. So after this dance is over, I will leave the party and wait for Miss on the balcony from outside.” her door in a small voice, Lucy seems to rotate while nodding her head.

In his heart was thinking, were their suspicions towards Sheyra the same? It seems that Emillo also wanted to tell Sheyra's origins to her.

Highlighting Sheyra's eyes right now was like watching Lucy's behavior intently, looking at the smile plastered on her lips like laughing and belittling her who couldn't dance with the Crown Prince.

‘Just enjoy your current situation, because of the fact that there is, you are the woman who is trying to grab the attention of Ptia who is engaged. My current status is seen as a pitifully neglected woman among you.’ he thought calmly.

‘Look at me, will your momentary victory last longer than the nobles' sympathy view of me?’
