Yes

"How dare you insult my family?! You're just a lowly daughter of a baker!" The blonde yelled.

"Whats wrong with being a baker's daughter? I help my family provide food for people around the capital. What do you do? Sit back, drink your tea and spend your daddy's money?" Megan said with a raised brow.

"Does the Duke know of your nasty attitude? I'll be surprised if he didn't!" The brown hair said.

"I never started the conversation with you in the first place, why are you blaming me for being defensive when you ladies insulted me and my family?" Megan scoffed.

"You-" the blonde lady couldn't take the fact this commoner was making fun of her. She raised her hand holding her fan and was about to hit Megan when a hand grabbed her wrist from behind.

"Who dares-" the blonde turned around to meet with a pair of cold blue eyes.

"These are the manners of a high class lady? You recently said Megan have a nasty attitude when you are here resorting to violence" Mrs. Yvonne flicked away the girl's wrist with a disgusted face.

The ladies' faces were pale white, they started to shake in nervousness as they seem to offend the Duchess.

"D-Duchess I-I didn't mean-"

"I'm no longer the Duchess. The future Duchess of Startlight is the person who you just criticized." Mrs. Yvonne looked at Megan with a gentle smile before glaring back at the two spoiled brats. "Who are you to decide the person that is qualified to stand next to the Duke? My son is a man who can make decisions on his own accord! Let's go darling."

Mrs. Yvonne took Megan's arm in hers then they walked away. Megan thought the family was only nice to her because they were in public, but she didn't expect for Victon's mother to come to her defense. Her heart was fluttering feeling the warmth that Mrs. Yvonne is radiating. "Thank you Mrs. Yvonne" Megan said wholeheartedly.

Mrs. Yvonne stopped walking and turned back to Megan. "Darling I'm not the type of person who values the stupid hierarchy of class over my son's happiness. If you love my son and he loves you back, I have no reason to not to accept you. As a mother I prioritize my family's happiness over anything."

Hearing her words Megan began tearing up, swiping away her nervousness and anxiety that was building up inside of her. "Thank you" Megan wiped her tears.

The ladies hugged it out then went back to the ball room cheerful as ever. They came back to see the gentlemen separated, each talking to an acquaintance.

"Mother! Sister-in-law!" Desmond waved at the ladies. "Megan this is our cousin, Crowned Prince Quinn."

"Good evening your Highness" Megan bowed.

"Good evening" Prince Quinn said as he observed Megan.

She felt uncomfortable as the Prince stared her, "is there something on my face Prince?"

Quinn snapped out of it and hurriedly said, "oh no! Pardon my rudeness, I'm just thinking how you managed to put a leash on that ice block HAHA"

"A leash on who?" Victon walked up to his family and stood next to Megan holding onto her waist.

"Oh my god Hendery, was he always like that?" The Prince asked with a disgusted face.

"I've been telling you ever since sister-in-law's arrival, Victon has been all cheesy and flirty" Hendery said with a shiver.

The dance floor was filled with people swaying oh so gracefully. Hearing another song had started, Victon lead on a hand and asked, "Megan will you have another dance with me?"

"I'm honored to" Megan smile broadly.

The couple went into the dance floor as they swirl around for the people to see. Megan's black hair flowed in the air with grace as she danced. Underneath that grace was a pair of stompers.

"I'm sorry for stomping for your feet" Megan whispered to Victon.

Hearing his deep chuckle she looked up to see he was looking at her this whole time. "Stomp on them as much as you want, I am yours after all."

"You should say this in front of your mother, she doesn't believe me when I say you are the one flirting with me and not the other way around."

"I see you are bonding with mother, I'm glad" Victon said as he held her waist with both hands to lift her up into the air.

Megan laughed as she said, "I thought your mother wouldn't like me, but she's more sensible than other nobles."

"Does that mean you are willing to officially be my girlfriend?" Victon asked nervously but also with anticipation.

"If you accept me then yes" Megan smile gently.

Victon didn't know how to breathe properly as she said yes. After a moment of shock, Victon then smiled broadly as if he finally found the treasure he had lost for a long time.
