Chapter 572 - Five Hundred And Seventy-Two: Impress The Queen (2/2)

They were close to giving up until they heard the news from Akim, the queen was strengthening the relationship between the lords and her guests over dinner. Which meant Lord Albert would be in attendance and they could steal the phone right under his nose.

But then, there was a slight problem, children were not in attendance. However, Ailee and Neon had a plan.

”Magnificent!” Jacqueline continued to gush out even after the dance ended, ”The both of you are great dancers!”

Ailee winked at Neon and the boy blushed, scratching the back of his head shyly. He never thought he would be so good at it - his mother Jennifer had put him through dancing class when she was still together with Niklaus. Jennifer gave him rigorous training when young - hoping to impress Niklaus - unfortunately, Neon excelled in nothing but dancing - it sure came in handy now.

”Whatever,” Allen rolled his eyes, filled with jealousy.

”Thank you,” Ailee did a bow, then took advantage of her praises, ”So, Miss Jacqueline, I was hoping we could dance at the dinner tonight,”

”Alright, wait - what?!” Jacqueline realized what she just said, ”What are you talking about?”

”We want to render a special presentation to the queen,” Neon added.

Jacqueline tipped her head unsure, ”I don't think Kids are permitted at the dinner…?”

Ailee didn't wait for a second for doubt to grow inside of her, ”You just said we were perfect, which means you were impressed with our dancing. How then, the queen when we barely began lessons a few days ago? She would be more than impressed, don't you think so? ”

There were conflicting feelings across Jacqueline's face as she thought about the suggestion. It was good but….

Allen might be jealous but he was not a fool to disrupt their plans because of emotion. So he added, ”Come to think about it, if we can impress the queen, who knows?” he shrugged, ”She might reward you,”

Jacqueline's expression shone. Dear God, the offer was tempting. If she could get a promotion, that would be so great.

”Fine, I'll see what I can do about that. However, if we are going to do that, that means we'll have to go over the routines,”

”Sure,” They were delighted. The kids didn't mind rehearsing over and over again if it meant their plans went through.

”Now, if you give me a minute,” Jacqueline said and left.

”Yes!” Ailee and Neon did a high five only to turn around and bump into Isabella who had a stern look.

”Now, spill,”
