The Married To Prince

Chapter 5

Ellise picked up the wine that the waiters had provided, enjoying the party from the edge of the dance floor. A little ironic, at first he fled to follow a party with the aim of showing his existence, now, he was actually at a party that actually had to close who he was.

Ellise tapped her finger to the beat, she wanted to dance but was too afraid to find a dance partner she didn't know who she was. Everyone here was wearing masks, some were even wearing masks that covered almost the entire face, Ellise chuckled as she thought this was funny. These people do not want people to know their true identity.

Ellise recalled a bit of Zen speech when she chose the mask.

"Many have come here to release their burden as nobles who must obey all ethics, many are also looking for an illegal relationship, many ordinary people also want to enjoy a party that can not be followed during this and many other purposes. Most of the fees in this party do not have standards, you can pay whatever you want, although I admit many who pay in large quantities because their satisfaction levels are met. "

Ellise chuckled, whether it was a happy mood or because of the drink she was holding, she was so happy.

Suddenly a tall and strapping figure passed by him, stealing his attention. A mask exactly the same as the one he wore was worn by the young man. The only difference is the precious stone that adorns the mask, Ellise Mask has Ruby, and the other mask has Blue Saphire stone.

Ellise followed the man's footsteps, continuing to follow him until the man passed through several doors and passageways, Ellise followed him. Up to the last room, a room different from the others, a room!

The room was luxurious yet dark, only the moonlight shone on it. Ellise watched the room closely, astonished that the man she was following had disappeared. Usually a room has several doors, so Ellise calls this building is a Labyrinth full of mystery and maybe misleading.

A hand smothered Ellise's mouth, though,

"Who are you? " sounds a whisper.

Ellise tried to thrash, she pulled out a knife hiding in her dress.

Ellise quickly snatched the man with her knife, but to her naught, it was her hand that was forced to remove the knife.

When the knife fell, Ellise's body was locked. The same question again sounded in his ear, the man's mouth was very close to Ellise's ears, making Ellise's body tremble slightly.

The man used the word you in his sentence, proving he was a high-status noble, who was always confident that the person who was the interlocutor was a person of lower status. If he is a low-status or commoner, he will use your vocabulary. It's an unwritten rule.

"Who am I? Is it not clear that the rules here should not reveal identity. So I won't tell you! "

" Why are you following me? "

" I was just wondering who was wearing the exact same mask as me. "

The man turned Ellise's body around easily, pushing her slowly to be able to watch Ellise from the tip of her foot to the tip of her head.

" Sir, I really don't want to mean anything evil. I followed you by accident, just out of curiosity. But it seems you don't like it very much. Therefore, with respect, I will leave. "

" Because it has come, then stay here for a while. Accompany me for a drink. "

Ellise fixed her seat, "A company to drink in the room? That's an act of no dignity. After all I am a woman and you are a man, sir!. "

" Are you afraid your good name as a lady will be smeared? "

" I'm just reminding a noble of basic ethics. "

The man laughed loudly, in a masculine and honorable style. Ellise was increasingly convinced that the man must have been a high-ranking noble, but who? Duke Labird, the royal title of his family is the highest in this empire.

"Miss, ever since your beautiful feet set foot in the party room, you are no longer who you are. Everyone here is of the same status. So, stop the nonsense about ethics. "the man said thrusting a glass filled with wine.

Ellise snorted in annoyance, the wine she drank with one gulp.

The man grew stronger laughing, but was still in an increasingly dignified style.

" Miss, if you like wine so much, I'll still have a lot, drink it slowly. "

This time the man was a bottle of wine, Ellise received it with joy. Ellise is not a drinker, a lady actually should not touch alcoholic beverages except in certain events.

Another story with Ellise who grew up with her three bodyguards.

"Lisela." said Ellise indifferently.

The man scrunched his forehead.

"Call me Lisela, at least that's my name here. Didn't you ask who I am?"

"Aricers... That's my name." said the man in response as well as introducing his name.

"Well Sir Aricer, instead of enjoying the dance out there, I seem more interested in accompanying you for a drink. "

" Don't you earlier remind me that ethics.. "

"We're not who we really are. That's what you said before." cut Ellise won't lose.
