Chapter 95: Twenty Percent
Ava had to make up excuses. “Sadly once our schedule is always busy or the time is not right.”
“True, barbarians in the North continue to look for problems, Princess Eve also often conduct research that requires full concentration. And I understand that,” Ellijah who had been silent had finally helped Ava face her interlocutor.
This way they win. Now Ava's job is to close their conversation with a crushing attack. “Ah yes, haven't you two years married? Is there still no good news?” They have not yet had children. Of the five previous wives, Count Wildingham had never held a baby. The old man should have realized that he was barren, it was time to adopt. But of course, most of the people are more interested in demeaning the women in this issue in their failure to carry out their duties as women. Ava believes there have been many insults that the Countess received because of the absence of children in their lives.
And of course, the Count and Countess of Wildingham flushed in fury.
It was a pity that the two were unable to retaliate due to the presence of the king and queen snag, which was also the official sign of the opening of the dance. “Helcome to the 22nd King of Edodale, Dionu Mast Frasier Weinhamer and Queen Isabel Gabriella Keaton Weinhamer.” With a luxurious and majestic official uniform, the king of Dion and Queen Isabel immediately stole the attention of the invitations who bowed automatically. After a short reception, the music from the hired band filled the spacious room. Time for the first dance.
“Will you dance with me, Princess?” Ellijah naturally stretched out her hand, traditionally the party couple became the first dance couple. So Ava has no reason to refuse, “By pleasure, Duke Frost.”
Waltz is not a complex dance in fact, only six basic steps, challenge is actually in the application of how the six steps appear agile as well as smooth and soft. The task most of course falls on the men who are required to guide their dance, but the women are also obliged to balance and follow the directions to create elegant synergy.
Ellijah and Ava swept the dance floor in an instant. The two instantly attracted the attention of dozens of gazing eyes, apart from their high status, the couple's compatibility was indisputable that night. Princess Eve and her fiance, Duke Frost, are actually more included in the closed couple, despite rumors of Duke Frost's hard struggle in approaching the princess, their nostrils are rarely seen in social events like this. So, the fact that both of them went down to the dance floor is an interesting show for some.
“It would be a great pleasure if you received more of my invitations to dance,” Ellijah whispered right in Ava's ear.
Oh, that means Eve's been resisting all along? If so, why did Marvin insist on teaching him the waltz if Eve rarely danced? But he felt that this kind of change was not too drastic, right? “Maybe, if you're more kind to me.”
Hearing this, Ellijah ventured to stroke the open part of the dress that Ava was wearing, almost making the girl shudder at her touch. “ Does this mean you want something from me?”
Ava's sweetest business smile looks, “Can be it, one or two things.”
Twenty percent of what he earned while pretending to be Eve was his right. Ava of course plans to make the most of that clause.
