"Ah ha, you've actually guessed my name, how remarkable!" Queen Mary ceased her dancing steps and flashed a sweet smile, clapping her hands as if Chen Yu guessing her name was a truly remarkable feat.
And with her clapping, a large group of masked nobles also appeared around her, issuing various acclaims, some bowing toward Chen Yu and even noble ladies and young noble girls casting coquettish glances his way.
All this seemed so lovely and joyful, like a sweet invitation beckoning Chen Yu to join Queen Mary's banquet, to become her dance partner, and then to dance with her for all eternity.
Perhaps compared to the ferocious and mad Mary Tudor, Marie Antoinette seemed so harmless and adorable, yet for those facing her, the latter was far more dangerous than the former.
The threat posed by the former is obvious, one that you could face and resist with enough courage, but the sweetness brought by the latter is exactly what's hardest to resist.
