86 Dancing Square

Angelica turned her head towards Alina and seriously thought about that question? Ivan said he wanted to show her what love is and that it was a beautiful thing.

She believed he didn't want to hurt her.

No her heart believe that he wouldn't hurt her but her mind rationalized that it could be a possibility. She never trusted anyone easily and once she did, she would believe them till the end. Like Stacie who was the only one who happily approached her and even died.

She was scared of it happening again. It would hurt her more is knowing that someone lost there life if they tried saving her. She didn't want another friend of her and in which she could say that she loved them to die once again.

Her mother's story was also something that made her distrust men. After hearing her mother was raped, she started to be worried about men aaorudn her and made sure to keep a barrier around her or you can say-

- fake persona that was only for men to see.

But Ivan... how should she say it. Made her think that he could truly do what he said. It was confidences that he could back up. He was really something.

Would he hurt her?

"I don't think he would hurt me. But reality is hard and we can never keep promises of being sure that we won't hurt each other." She said to Alina.

"Alina do you like someone?" Angelica asked curiously.

Alina didn't shy away from her questions and answered her with happiness, "Yes, I have someone I love. But I don't think he loves me like that." She said.

Angelica guessed, "Is it Felix?" Is asked since she had into ever seen this young lady interact with him the most but she could be wrong as well.

"Nope not him." Alina denied and started walking by dragging Angelica almighty with her.

Angelica who let herself be pulled wondered who it was now? Don't tell me it's the red head? Or is it a knight that she hadn't seen? Wait a second.

Is it Lance?

"I like Lance. But he doesn't seem to have the same feelings for me. If anything he only sees me as a friend." She said sadly.

Angelica felt that seeing this young lady sad was heart breaking so she decided to switch the topic off love and instead find another thing to do.

"Hey where did the twins go?" Angelica asked because the twins were truly gone and out of there sight.

Alina looked around and also didn't see the twins. The two ladies looked at each other and sighed. They first need to find them before they start having fun again.

Angelica decided to keep her happy mood up and have fun with the three of them who she haven't seen in awhile. Truly, kids are sometimes better than adults.

Ivan looked at his earring that had suddenly shattered and smiled.

Did she really think that would keep him from finding her?

Lance looked at the man who was smiling to himself and sighed. He didn't know why the Duke was here but she knew he was up to no good since the smile he carried around was as if he was on a hunt for something. He had a guess since currently in his mansion three little people have gone missing and it was none other than Princess Silver who took them to play.

He sighed again and glared at the man who was looking at his earring between his index finger and thumb.

"It just broken, why smile like a creep?" Lance asked making Ivan frown.

"I'm not a creep."

"Right. As if anyone would believe that after what happened yesterday. I heard from Vander." Lance said flipping the page and continued.

"What are you doing here anyway? Aren't you busy?" Lance asked and this time he smiled.

Ivan felt a shudder go down his spine hearing Lance's scary words. Work? He had tones of it but if he didn't, Lance would for sure give him more and that if stack that might even reach the ceiling.

He was a scary man.

"Don't joke like that. It's scary hearing the word 'busy' from your mouth now."

"Duke." Lance raised a brow at the man, "If you have work the go finish it. I'm busy to can't you see?" He pointed to a stack of papers by his side.

"Please the little wolves have helped you, didn't they?"

Lance only gave him a smug smile. "There really resourceful. But I don't always use them like that I only ask opinions when necessary."

Indeed the wolves have help him and they even made his job easier with the super intelligence that he absolutely liked about them. It really fun when people understand you, but in this case wolves do.

He didn't even mind the misunderstanding of them being his kids.

A sudden memory flashed his eyes and he looked at Ivan who was thinking about something.

"Are you gone marry the Princess?" He asked along Ivan break out of his trance at his words.

"Of course. Have I not proven it enough for everyone to see?" Well, except Angelica who was running away. Now that he thought about it he was sort of depressed.

Lance rolled his eyes at this dramatic man, "I now understood why she might have ran away." Ivan looked at him with a curious look but was soon gloomy with Lance's reply.

"You must have said something along the lines of, 'I love you and none other than you'. You should probably know that the Princess is a cunning woman and knows how to defend herself well with words. But the exception is for men only. Grown men." Lance said.

"You think I didn't know that?" Of course he did and it was a tight shackle on her that she wouldn't break.

"That's why.. your here now for what again?" Lance asked flipping another page.

"To get my bride that challenged me to find her."

"....." Lance looked at the man's shamelessness and shook his head.

'Good luck Princess.' She's caught the attention of one hell of a man.

And if anything she will certainly be caught by the end of the day due to this man's unwavering mind to catch her.

He really did pity the Princess but also admired her since Ivan can have a bit a trouble one in awhile due to her, which was amazing.

"Harry, Helix! I know your old enough but please remember that where the older ones here and you can't always runaway like that! Bad things happen!" Alina scolded the twins and Angelica stood on the side trying not to laugh at how cute the three of them were.

Simply adorable!

Angelica looked at the twins who were now pouting after being scold and chuckled quietly. The two of them haven't been scolded like this for a long time. Of course her scolding was different from the kind one Alina was giving.

Just like how her grandmother did her she did the same with the two mischievous wolves. Throw them into the pond to cool off, before asking what they did wrong. Honestly Angelica thought it wasn't that bad since her grandmother always threw her around and in fire one time and she made sure that it never happens again since the burn marks were painful.

Angelica had a tough live childhood you could say.

"Alina these kids learned their lesson already next time they don't thrown them in the water to cool off."

Alina and the two kids: "....."

Alina was speechless while the wolves felt a shudder down their spine remembering that the haven't had that sort of treatment for a long time and their master had to remind them of that now.

She was ruthless and very kind.

"An, throwing kids in the water isn't a good solution." Alina argued.

"I know. If they were ordinary I wouldn't okay. I have my brain intact even though it's insane. I will only treat them the way I've been treated." Angelica said making Alina quite at her response.

Alina looked at the wolves who were giving her puppy eyes, literally and felt her heart move. How can such adorable things exist in this world.

"By the way their already 17 don't think of them like kids. That just to deceive the kinder of us." Angelica smirked.

Alina blinked and looked at the two boys and flicked their foreheads making them feel pain.

"Let's go! We still have to see the Paradise Square! If I'm not wrong we won't be late for the dance!" Alina said making Angelica curious.

But in the end Alina just dragged all three of them to a amazing sight. The beautiful colours of magic and sound mixed together in the air with people dancing all around. Random moves and all of them with smiles clearly in a happy mood. This evening was simply beautiful.

Alina and Angelica looked at each other and had a tack understanding on what to do. Smiling the two ladies joined the crowd and danced along with vigorous but elegant steps and unconsciously the crowd opened up to see two beautiful ladies dancing freely in the crowd together.

Laughing and panting they felt that no could stop them from this, and they danced all the way to the end of song.
