Chapter 323 - 320: Ligeti’s Ball II

The trip to the Ligeti's ducal palace was an hour away by carriage, but since they were riding a car (omnibus), it would only take them about half an hour

Half an hour is a short tilance at Geoffrey She did not notice it earlier, but now looking at him, his lips and the corner of his mouth had some tint of red She knew that it was her lipstick frooodness she only applied a thin layer on her lips just so that it will redden a little more

Gods, this is horrendous She took out her handkerchief "Geoffrey, your lips are tinted with some lipstick, please wipe it off"

Geoffrey tried to look innocent If he didn't know any better, he would say that Serena's taking the initiative "Sorry, I can't see it myself Would you please help me?"

Serena took a deep breath If not because she did not want other people to misunderstand, she wouldn't care "Please look here" she instructed

Geoffrey turned to face her

Serena held his chin so that she can wipe the tint off

As she was doing that, Geoffrey stared at her She was focused abd biting her lips as she gently wiped his mouth The moment was nice and sweet For a second, he felt that this was how it should be between them His heart softened, but then, he saw the necklace she earing and again, he was re his lips with her handkerchief, so she did not notice the change in Geoffrey's expression She was taken by surprise when Geoffrey placed his hand on her back "What are you doing?" she asked

Geoffrey in a bout of possessiveness did not care what other people would think later He leaned forward his head bowed to attach his lips on soft juncture between her shoulder and her neck not covered by the necklace He suckled it to effectivelyher skin and she tried to hit hi!?" she protested She could only hope that he won't leave a mark She should have decided not to co to act that way What would Charlton think if he sees the o He looked at the spot her suckled and saw it turn red Now, as Charlton see the necklace she's wearing, he would also see the ht

Serena was at a loss of what to do Geoffrey was the crown prince She wants to fight him, but then, he was more powerful than her "Why did you do that? What if you left a mark? People would see!"

"there's no mark Don't worry" Geoffrey lied

Serena huffed Just a few more months Just endure a little more She told herself If not for herself, then for her baby

Charlton arrived early at the ball He knew that Geoffrey was escorting Serena, but it's a sight that he has seen ood that despite Geoffrey being Serena's fiance, he always observed propriety

If not, he would have just torn his o and proceeded with plan B

Anyway, now that plan A orking marvelously, he doesn't want to resort to his other plans Just 3 months more at the maximum and he would have Serena with him peacefully

As he was popular with other nobles, he was not left alone in the ball Soentlemen approached him to talk about business He answered them all politely There were also some who requested that he fill in their partner's dance card One in particular was Christopher Cross bringing his younger sister's dance card Really, he wanted to decline knowing that the girl likes hiue face, so he reluctantly signed his na, the uests ere just to enter the ballroo any particular attention to those who arrived when they were not very high-ranking personages But of course, when it was Geoffrey and Serena's turn, everyone stopped what they were doing to look They were, after all, their crown prince and soon-to-be crown princess

"Crown Prince Geoffrey William, and Lady Serena Maxwell" The MC announced and everyone on the ball turned to look at the tho just arrived
