After the song 'moon river' came to an end, the interlude for the ball followed

Geoffrey led Serena to the refreshment area and nobles specially those allied to Geoffrey knew not to intrude However, there were some people who just wanted to seek attention, and one such was Emily

Since Charlton was her partner, he had to send her to the refreshment area before he can leave, but since she chose to approach Geoffrey and Serena, he felt coood she chose to do that, at least that way, Serena won't be left alone with Geoffrey for long

"Your highness, Lady Serena, it has been a while I hope we're not intruding?" Ereeted theave a polite greeting to Geoffrey and Serena

Serena though feeling some irrational jealousy, for the first ti to the eyes Whatever to save her froreeted the two politely "Ms Emily, Lord Daniel Indeed, it has been a while"

Geoffrey, although did not really like the two joining theenius because he knew that Serena thought that he had an affair with Emily before, which was true, while at the same time there was an irrational part of him jealous about how she looks at Charlton, he decided to pair them up "Ms Evans, Charlton Your dance earlier was an eye opener You twobells soon?"

Ehness… that is…"

Serena tried not to choke on her own saliva What the hell?

Charlton cleared his throat He knew he should not, but Geoffrey's words scratched hi way "Ms Emily and I are just friends, please do not mention such matter so offhandedly Geoffrey" he said

Geoffrey frowned Charlton's head was really becoh they were cousins and friends, he was still the crown prince, yet he mentioned his name so casually and even dared to rebut him All this in front of his own fiancée If it were just the two of them, then it would have been fine, however they were in a society ball

Aside fro of enmity after he declined his olive branch

Serena felt the change in atmosphere and knew that Charlton made a mistake She looked at Geoffrey who has his eyebrows furrowed She took a deep breath, just a few more months She told herself

"Geoffrey?" she called

Geoffrey who unconsciously clenched his fist unclenched it hearing her voice Her turned to face her and save him a smile as she shook her head, "I think that you should not e so casually Lord Daniel and Ms Ereeot winded with the thought ofbeen engaged and I a that ill marry soon"

Serena's so

Charlton tried to keep a straight face
