Chapter 12: The Night Of The Banquet (Part 9)

Episode 250

(Getting Hurt By You)

"Greetings, Your Highness."

The young ladies bowed politely as soon as they saw Leonus.

"Raise your head."

After saying that Leonus didn't even care to glance back at them.

"Princess."

Instead, looking at me with eyes that showers of love, Leonus called me out gently.

"Let's have a dance, shall we?"

Leonus said, gently grabbing my hand.

'Huh? What is this? He was behaving strangely a moment ago. He didn't even look me in the eyes then. And now that I see, his eyes look so much brighter now.'

I was so bewildered by his change of behaviour that I was utterly speechless.

"Princess… Are you angry?"

Leonus whispered near my ear.

"Ah. No. I am not."

Instead, I am relieved that he seems alright now. 

"Then will you dance with me?"

Now that I think about it, the music has started.

"It will be my pleasure."
