Behind Sophie, in a nook of the dance corridor, a romantic scene was unfolding.

The star of the present was, you guessed it, Miss Charlotte. Her fingers crawl on His Highness Garrett’s chest, leaning on him sweetly. Her seductive gesture might hardly be described as that of a 15-year previous woman in her lowest grade, and she or he was intently following his step, huddling near him as in the event that they had been a pair.

Regardless of the tip of the track and the individuals round them altering companions, they made no motion of separating.

When His Highness Garrett spoke to her with embarrassment, Miss Charlotte’s cheeks flushed purple and she or he buried her face in his chest.

I do not know what he mentioned, however judging from His Highness Garrett’s response, it appears to have had the other impact on her.

Whereas struggling to tear off Miss Charlotte from clinging onto him, they drifted right into a second dance that ought to solely be reserved for his fiancée.

How bothersome …

This was the impression I had the second I witnessed the scene.

Simply as I used to be starting to imagine that I efficiently prevented the confrontation, this scene started instantly afterwards. What irritated me was that I had been so careless.

Emma, my maid servant, and “Peridot”, had been amassing data from her fellow servants, they usually all declared Miss Charlotte as a “loopy saintess candidate” and “a compulsive liar.” There is no means she’s regular in her faculty life or her private life. It was naive of me to imagine Miss Charlotte had any good sense.

Often, you possibly can solely dance with the identical individual as soon as. The individual with whom you dance two songs can solely be your fiancé, and solely while you change into husband and spouse are you allowed to bounce a 3rd track. In different phrases, them going into the second track in entrance of me, his fiancé, was loads like difficult me.

His Highness Garrett appeared to be in a state of shock, so I can solely assume that he was unwilling to depart the room, however what would a prince do if he could not deal with a lady correctly?
