Chapter 131 - Princess Lyn and Prince Allen P1 (1/2)

Two and a half hours later

”Princess Lyn, lie down properly. Don't forget your manners. ” Carlo exclaimed.

Manners? Forget it, ”Leave me alone. My legs hurt. I don't know if a ghost possessed him, but I thought he would swallow me whole,” Lyn sighed as she recalled what just happened.

Like her 'husband' who went ahead and abandoned the party 3/4 of the way suggested, she accepted the dance with Prince George. But he didn't stop at one, two or even three dances. Lyn long lost count of when the pain first started to appear in her legs, and how many melodies she heard.

When the Prince finally let her go, she could barely walk over here. Currently, she sat in the seating area they prepared for the 'elite of the elite guests,' she wondered what these people thought of her. Allen merely introduced her as his fiance, a Princess. He didn't even say which Kingdom. Of course, Lyn understood why. While she could attend this gathering as his fiance, without a veil to hide her face, her identity as the Mist Kingdom current royal family Princess is something that should be kept a secret.

”Quick. The Prince is coming,” it belonged to the wife of one of Allen's guards.

”Eh? Princess Lyn, quick posture. Your skirt, pull down your dress... Carlo, turn around.”

”I know.”

When Prince George peeked through the curtain, she was already sat up properly, her skirt down and showing no trace of the sloppy sitting from just now. ”Princess Lyn, could I ask for one more dance? ”

”Of course.”

”Prince, please ask me for a dance too, ” somebody asked. Yes, please ask this person and not her.

”I'm afraid I am leaving soon, that's why I wish to have my last dance with Princess Lyn.”

Yes, please leave as quickly as possible. She is glad that he is not one of the guests staying in the manor tonight, she doesn't want to deal with him any more than necessary. To wake up and have to see him would be an awful experience for her. As foolish as he is, Lyn is glad that he won't get caught up in the mess that will occur later on the night.

”Are you tired of me already?”

”Oh. My, of course not,” Lyn smiled. 'You are, in more ways than one,' Lyn silently said in her head. Keep calm and polite. The moment one loses their calm, the moment they cease to be a Princess. At least according to the lessons Pupillam and the General give her.

Before George could clasp hold of her hand, she feels the warmth of another. Lyn looked up to find Allen standing there, ”Excuse me, if you don't mind. There is something I must discuss with my wife.”

With those words said Allen pulled her away, and she turned back to meet George's gaze on her, but it was only for a moment before he turned to accept Auna's request. This man will probably go after any pretty face. If she keeps on rejecting him, eventually he will give up on her.
