Sell the slave

"I do not belong to any estate. I am a slave." I replied in a bit agitated tone as she did not let the matter go.

"........." they all looked at me with surprise. The lady in my arms stopped dancing as she smiled and looked at me with cold eyes.

"I suddenly remembered that I have to meet my friend urgently." with her paltry excuse, she turned and left without bidding farewell or bowing her head. 

A few of them looked at me with disdain while I continued to dance and I sighed. Running a hand in my hair, I took a deep breath, "why did I say that?" I did not know but the way she was trying to come closer to me only to know which nobility I belonged to was disgusting.

Soon the song ended and i decided to go back to my designated table when i felt a tap on my shoulder,

"May i have the pleasure to have dance with you!'' The familiar voice filled my ears and a goofy smile formed on my face.
