Megan's already blushed face became redder. His breath tickled her as he whispered into her ears. Megan looked up into Victon's eyes as it was looking back at hers. His eyes had a gentle and loving staring at her, like she was a treasure he sought for a long time.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Megan asked as her face was still red as a tomato.

"It means that I want you all to myself" Victon said softly but boldly, as he held onto her waist lifting her up for a spin.

"Ah! Oh my god!" Megan exclaimed as she as taken off guard. "Victon! What the hell-" then she realized what Victon had said seconds ago. Her face turned red again as she looked up to Victon, as if signaling for him to explain.

"It's alright, you don't need to give me an answer right now. I will take it slow as we have years ahead of us." Victon said while Megan was still in a daze. "... If you still don't understand, then I will bolder with my words. I am trying to court you Megan, I like you."

With the last sentence leaving his lips, Megan's head shut down completely. Her body was still dancing yes, but her mind was in a state of total meltdown.

'Did I say too much?' Victon thought worriedly as he observed Megan's shocked expression.

"You don't like me?" Victon asked solemnly. Hearing his saddened tone, Megan snapped out of her dazed zone to quickly say, "n-no! I like you!"

She gasped as she realized what she had just said, she covered her mouth with her hands in embarrassment. They stopped dancing and stood on there, as if on cue the music stopped at the exact moment. Megan's face was still red when she tried to speak with a panick, "I- I mean, uh"

"Megan!" A voice shouted calling for her. Megan turned around to see her savior, "Marie!"

Marie was about to scold Megan for leaving her alone with that strange blonde man who kept asking her questions, but then saw a black haired man next to her best friend.

"Is this Victon? You finally found your lover?" Marie asked Megan making her situation worse.

"Marie!" Megan yelled at her.

"Yes, I'm her lover. My name is Victon Yvonne, pleased to make your acquaintance," Victon said with a small bow.

"Yvonne? The Duke's family?" Marie gasped as Megan had her mouth hung wide opened. She never asked Victon for his last name because it never came to her... this might feels like Victon continuously dropping bombs after bombs.

Megan pouted and said, "I didn't agree yet." Victon chuckled finding her pout to be endearing. "Don't worry I'll make you fall for me sooner or later."

Marie who didn't want to fed with dog food any longer, left to go find Theodore and the Vinnesia couple.

"Marie wait for me! Oh! Um, I'll talk to you later" She shyly waved Victon good bye before chasing after Marie. Victon watched her figure slowly disappearing in the crowds with warmth still residing in his chest.

Megan catched up to Marie and heard her best friend say, "so your mysterious lover is the soon to be Duke? And judging from your reaction earlier, you didn't even know that he was from the Yvonne family."

"I never asked him so I didn't know either. This feels like a dream, Marie pinch me. I feel like I'm dreaming."

Marie then pinched Megan's cheeks as requested. "Ow! Okay I'm not dreaming."

The two best friends then walked until they found Theodore and the Vinnesia couple near the stairway leading to the entrance. Theodore and his father looked at Megan with glare while her mother squealed with excitement.

"Megan! Who was that? You danced with him and he even swung you into the air! Tell me young lady, who was it?" Her mother grabbed her hands in anticipation.

"Mother! It was no one, he had asked for a dance and I couldn't leave the castle without dancing to at least one song, so I just danced with him." Megan explained, "I didn't ask for his name either."

"The bastard have the nerve to dance with my daughter!" Her father said with aggravated nerves. Theodore's mood was no different. He had told Victon to start out easy, but what does the man do? Swirl his sister around!

Megan came up to Theodore and whispered, "I will deal with your ass later."

Theodore was confused and gone was his aggravated nerves as it was replaced with nervousness. What did he do to his sister for her to beat his ass later?

"Alright Theodore, go get the carriage. It is late so we should go home now" his mother said. It is almost midnight so the family thought they should head back now.

Some guests were leaving, but some decided to stay later to enjoy this rare occasion. Theodore got the driver and the carriage and they were off to go back home. The Vinnesias dropped off Marie at her house first before going back to theirs.

"Have a good night Marie! I will see you tomorrow!" Megan said to Marie waving her good bye through the carriage's window.

The Vinnesia family returned home and went upstairs. The couple went into their bedroom as they were exhausted from the celebration. Theodore was about to enter his room when his sister grabbed his shoulders and said menacingly, "I'm too tired right now, but watch out for tomorrow Theo." Theodore stood frozen, he turned around to see no one in the hallway. He shuddered thinking it was a ghost, but then heard a door shut and it was Megan's door. Theodore shut his door wondering what he did wrong to deserve his sister's wrath.

Closing her bedroom door, Megan went into her closet to get her pajamas. She carefully took off her earrings and hair pin and placed it on her vanity table. She stared at herself in the mirror when she suddenly recalled what had happened during the ball. Megan squealed and hopped as she punches air. Taking deep breaths to cool herself down, she then changed into pajamas and slumped into her bed.

"Well tonight was crazy" Megan said to no one in particular. 'He likes me' she thought with a blush. Megan took her blanket to cover her entire body as she rolls around, kicking and punching the blanket in excitement and embarrassment. 'What a magical night' she thought as her fatigue overwhelmed her, making her go into deep slumber.
