CHAPTER 131 - The Dance 2.

People swayed under the enchanting rhythm filling the masquerade hall. It was something new—something they had never heard before—yet they couldn't help themselves. 

The fact that the most skilled bards—ones who could infuse their music with magic—didn't help them resist it at all.

The one who stole the stage every time, however, was Alex, who would suddenly appear. Two such instances already took place, one when Alex went upstage with Zahara and the other just ended a second ago.

People—only the ones who didn't already know—searched for him, wanting to know who he was, but he had already mixed in the crowd along with Vanessa. His dance with Zahara and Vanessa made many girls and women want to dance with him; after all, every lady—except a few—would love such attention.
