Chapter 102

The 2 gazed at one another aspect by aspect. Simply in time, the music modified to a lightweight waltz.

“Zachary, what’s flawed with you as we speak?”

“What are you speaking about?”

“You retain calling me every time I’m with another person.”

Iellie whispered as she narrowed her brows. It was as a result of if she’d had a number of phrases of dialog with somebody, he clung to her. As she continued, she held his hand as a reprimand and gave energy to it.

“Look, I’m the host. What is going to individuals suppose if I’m hanging out solely with you?”

“Properly, we’re couple… they might suppose that, proper?”

“What?”

Answering Zachary’s smirking reply, Iellie unconsciously requested again. Zachary shrugged his shoulders.

“And I hate you speaking to different individuals.”

“…You’re not even a baby. What is that this?”

“Typically you mentioned you didn’t deal with me like a baby, however now you do.”

At that, he laughed softly whereas she misplaced her phrases. Zachary whispered as he pulled her by the waist.

“For this reason I attempt to appear to be a person to you.”

“….”

…When did his talking abilities enhance like that? She stared at Zachary. Whereas having this dialog, it was stunning that he was retaining the tempo of the dance proper.

“Thanks for telling me that you just have been taking a look at me as a person.”

“Zachary?”

“Greater than that.”

Three steps to the aspect, one step to the again.

As she returned to his arms, Ielli’s skirt unfurled out broad like a petal and Zachary locked his spouse in his arms.

“I would like you to see nobody aside from me, most of all, don’t see different males…”

“That…”

“That was what I used to be considering.”

Stepping on the steps of the dance, the fleeting second of being embraced by Zachary. She heard the sound of her coronary heart beating.

“Wouldn’t it be bizarre to say one thing like this?”

When he whispered with an embarrassed face, Iellie wished to roll her eyes for a second earlier than she answered.

“No.”

“….”

“It’s fairly good. As a result of…”

Iellie swallowed her breath. She by no means thought that these phrases would come out of her personal mouth. It felt just like the nook of her coronary heart was being rubbed with tender feathers… itchy but tender feeling. She blushed.

“…Me too.”

As quickly as he heard these phrases, Zachary gazed at her with a dazed face. Iellie was just a little embarrassed.

“You even mentioned you favored me earlier. Do you actually have to listen to these phrases from me?”

As she opened her mouth with a coy face, on the identical time, the music ended. The individuals who have been dancing spherical and spherical let go of their arms one after the other. For the reason that dance was over, she tried to let go of Zachary’s hand.

However then…

“I’m not good at speaking.”

She might really feel his hand flippantly caressing her shoulder. Iellie glanced behind and noticed Zachary standing there.

“Zachary…?”

A whole bunch and 1000’s of Asha petals dye the entire scene in pink. Iellie barely frowned.

“Why are you standing like that?”

The dance was over. Iellie regarded up at him although he lowered his head barely.

“So.”

When the snow-white silver hair brushed throughout her cheeks, she widened her eyes. A deep blue gaze, as if a chunk of the indigo sky had been eliminated and inserted into it. The eyes that had been chilly as glaciers have been now holding heat.

“I’m sorry, I solely knew this fashion.”

Zachary smiled mischievously, and on the identical time, his lips handed Iellie’s cheek.

“Individuals, individuals are trying…”

“It’s okay to take a look at it.”

No, solely you might be tremendous, I’m not tremendous. Iellie, attempting to retort with a flushed face, bit her lip. Even individuals’s blissful eyes are embarrassing for her.

She requested, narrowing her brows.

“…Are you doing this on objective to indicate others?”

“That’s proper.”

‘Don’t agree on it that bluntly…’

Iellie set free a sigh. She had no thought how he had been hiding his possessiveness till now. She shrugged her shoulders and smiled.

‘However nicely, it’s nonetheless cute.’

The one approach he confirmed his possessiveness was to kiss her on the cheek and brow, caught near her or invited her to the primary dance on the backyard get together. Wasn’t it a totally completely different course from the Emperor’s impolite habits?

“Actually, I can’t with you.”

Iellie narrowed her eyes. Nonetheless, there was a smile that couldn’t be hidden on her lips.

Laughter, tender voices, and tea and refreshments have been requirements for the women’ chatting, so she determined to indicate the women prematurely the Asha jam and tea that she would give as a present to the friends.

‘Anyway, because it’s tea and jam, it’d be higher to make a debut at a spot like this.’

“Oh my goodness…”

Not solely the women however even the Princess opened their eyes broad. There was a powerful scent of Asha flowers.

“So fairly.”

“I do know. Have you ever ever had a tea like this earlier than?”

When the women raised their exclamations, Iellie smiled. She adopted an evidence as she poured the tea.

“It is a newly developed tea, however it took numerous work and was solely in a position to be produced in small portions.”

She knew her place nicely. She was the one Duchess of the empire, mistress of Hessenweiz, and mistress of the north. Now that Zachary had taken the title, she additionally had work to do.

“That’s why I wished to indicate it to the Princess.”

That was, main the social occasions of the noble girls of the north. Till now, Countess Laurent had carried the Imperial Household on her again and ran wild like thunder, however now the time had come for Countess Laurent’s conceitedness to finish.

‘There have been many social occasions led by noble girls.

Representatively, there was a salon the place noble girls gathered. Till now, probably the most prestigious salon within the north belonged to the Countess although Iellie meant to usurp that place. She raised her eyebrows barely.

‘As a result of these distinctive teas and snacks served at social occasions improve the worth of the occasion.’

Tea made utilizing Asha flowers was pleasing to the attention simply by taking a look at it—gentle coloration and rustling petals. As well as, pink jam made by correctly processing Asha flowers with sugar was additionally brilliant in coloration.

“Would you all wish to strive it?”

Listening to her phrases, the women scrambled to style it with faces filled with curiosity. Their faces brightened.

“It’s scrumptious.”

“Actually. It smells nice.”

“That is my first time consuming tea like this.”

In fact, it will be the primary time. It was a tea that was made with the recollections of her previous life.

“I’m glad you favored it.”

Iellie smiled and continued her phrases. The Princess gazed down on the teacup with eager eyes. Contained in the white porcelain, tea water coloured in pale pink slithers. Pink petals swayed within the sky.

“If carried out nicely, this flower tea could possibly be standard within the social world.”

“That’s an excessive amount of reward, Your Highness.”

“No, I imply it. It’s the primary time I’ve seen such a fairly tea.”

Because the Princess mentioned that, a distinct coloration appeared in her eyes, seemingly asking why she was displaying off this treasured tea now.

“The Duchess goes to be doing social actions now, so are you going to indicate it off then?”

The Princess, who put down the teacup with a click on, requested casually. Iellie smiled. As anticipated, the Princess was sharp.

“Sure, that’s proper. That’s why I wished to ask my treasured individuals first and present them the style.”

It appeared that the Princess had already seen that her intentions have been to see forward of time the nobles’ reactions.

“Is the jam too candy?”

“No, it’s not. Relatively bitter but candy…”
