”What?” Carleena was confused.
”I mean… we should be friends,” said Lucien seriously.
”… I heard you…” Carleena put on quite a few facial expressions within a few seconds. Finally, she put on a delicate and charming look, and her big eyes stared at Lucien's face with some tears in it, ”I'm so sorry, Mr. Peter. I've troubled you this much.”
Although most guys would probably be touched by the way she looked right now, Lucien was an exception. He was still wearing the polite smile, ”I really appreciate your affection. But you're just not the type I like. I'm sorry.”
The song gradually ended. Carleena looked down, and her tears dropped onto the carpet.
Her nose was a bit stuffy, ”I know I'm only a widow, and I don't deserve you, Mr. Peter. Anyway, I've told you my feelings toward you. Thank you for dancing with me. Feel free to come back to Ural in the future.”
When the music stopped, Carleen quickly turned around and left the dancing floor.
Seeing that, Barshac and some other nobles all left their dancing partners and followed Carleena, trying to check her out and comfort her. However, Carleena quickly hid in the lady's dressing room in the corner and locked the door from inside.
Barshac stared at Lucien with mixed feelings. He was not sure if he should feel lucky or angry, but he knew that he was definitely jealous.
However, facing Lucien's power, no one dared to challenge him directly.
In the dressing room, Carleena raised her head, and her beautiful face looked very angry. She murmured to herself in a bitter way, ”A great person? How dare you say this? Who do you think you are? Damn it! I'll make you regret it!”
...
In the dungeon behind the manor, Mianka slowly came out of his coma, and Niake was right beside him.
”Finally, you woke up…” Niake started to put some magic potions back into the small box.
”Where… where's this place?” Mianka was confused, ”What happened?”
”Come on, Mianka… I told you to pretend that you were beaten. I never told you to commit suicide! Your winter bear form at least had the power of a real knight. You should be the one telling me what happened…” said Niake quite pissed.
Mianka scratched his head with effort, ”The guy was fast. When I saw his sword coming, I was not able to dodge at all. Then, I fainted… I thought my winter bear form could handle at least the power of a level two knight…”
”His sword should be at least of level two high-rank… We've underestimated this guy. I need to report this to the master,” said Niake. Due to their lack of information, their plan of playing the hero and the beauty almost turned into a disaster.
...
After putting on some make up, Carleena went back to the dancing floor with the same sweet and cheerful smile on her face as usual. The only difference was that now her attitude toward Lucien was rather cold, as if what happened was all an illusion.
That relieved Lucien. He was only passing by that place. He wanted nothing from this party, and he only wanted to stay away from trouble.
When the party ended, Carleena started to send guests to their guest rooms. When Lucien put on his coat, he noticed that his butler, Leo, was gone!
Looking around, Lucien did not see Leo. When he was about to use spiritual power, Leo popped out from behind a pillar in the corner, ”My lord, the party has ended?”
