Leathina's eyes focused on looking towards the entrance towards who had opened the door.
“Winter?”Leathina was surprised to see that Winter opened the door.
“At last I found you Miss Leathina, I have already won...., Prince Edward?”
Winter spoke while walking closer to Leathina but – arrived when she saw Prince Edward who was with Leathina.
“Greetings Prince Edward.” He bowed to pay his respects to Prince Edward and then refocused on Leathina.
“Why are you looking for me Winter, is there a problem?”
“Nona Leathina I'm looking for you because I'm worried about you everyone is talking about you due to your failed engagement with Prince Yardley.”
“Thanks for worrying about me Winter, I'm good – fine.”
“Thank God, then will Miss mate with me to dance tonight?” Winter walked up to Leathina and extended her hand asking politely if Leathina would mate with her.
“I..”
“Leathina already has her dancing partner.”
When Leathina was about to answer Winter's request to arrive –, Prince Edward cut off their conversation and pulled Leathina's shoulder closer to him so that there was no longer distance between Edward and Leathina.
“Really? Who are you paired with Miss Leathina?”
“He paired with me.”
“What is true Miss Leathina.”
“Iya right I asked her first and she was willing.”
Winter asks Leathina the truth about Prince Edward, but when Leathina is about to answer Winter's questions, they are answered by Prince Edward, while Leathina just resigned then nodded confirming the speech of Prince Edward.
Hearing the reply from Prince Edward and being justified by Leathina with a nod, Winter's expression looked disappointed making Leathina feel bad for him.
“Then if I can be Miss Leathina's dancing partner after Miss Leathina dances with Prince Edward.”
“Tida.”
“Can! Of course I can, I am a free woman now not tied to any man.”
Hearing Winter's Request, Prince Edward again wanted to answer but when the new Prince Edward would answer arrived – arrived Leathina cut off Prince Edward's words and agreed to the request from Winter.
“What? Why are you glaring like that?”
Prince Edward's eyes glared at Leathina because Leathina agreed to a request from Winter she did not want Leathina to be a dancing partner from Winter later but Leathina instead glared at him again making Prince Edward relented and resigned with Leathina's Decision.
“Alright I'll wait for Miss Leathina.” The smile on Winter's face expands showing the face of his face that returned to life after being disappointed.
“Then we come out now Miss Leathina.” Prince Edward reached out his hand to hold Leathina while walking but Leathina did not care about him and instead walked alone and because of anxiety Prince Edward pulled Leathina's hand and forced her to hold his hand.
“Well, alright let's go now.”
Prince Edward and Leathina walked out of the palace balcony followed by Winter who also walked beside Leathina making Leathina position flanked by the two of them.
Trek...
The sound of the door opening by Winter turned out to be quite clear amid – tenga classical music played by the orchestra makes people – people who have now started dancing with their partners – each turning to the source of the voice as well as Prince Yardley who paired with Yasmine who has now also danced together in the middle – of the other couples.
Gosh look at their gazes, I know, I knew this was going to happen This is the reason I rejected Prince Edward's offer when I asked for it. It felt like if there was a chance they would all instantly kill me, it was like I was seizing their dream partner.
Leathina was a little nervous when all the – people in the banquet hall looked at her with various expressions and unconsciously Leathina hardened her grip on the arm of Prince Edward who she was still holding.
Realizing that Leathina was becoming uncomfortable and awkward from being seen by everyone Prince Edward immediately put his palm on Leathina's hand to calm Leathina who looked tense to the point of squeezing her arm involuntarily.
Instead of making Leathina calm Leathina even became more nervous because of Prince Edward's treatment of her, the eyes of – people more sharply see Leathina.
“Pardon us for disturbing please play the music back and dance with your partner, I will also dance with my partner.”
Prince Edward smiled kindly and asked the – people to dance back then with heart – hearts pull Leathina into the dancing area join the other couple to dance while Winter walks and picks up a seat that could see Prince Edward and Leathina clearly to observe the two of them.
“Since when were they both familiar?” Winter muttered after sitting down and looking at Leathina from a distance.
Prince Edward and Leathina bow to each other in honor of each other's partners before they both properly – properly dance together.
“So since when are you two familiar?”
“With whom?” Leathina returned to answer questions asked by Prince Edward.
“With Winter?”
“Iya with the man.”
“What does this have to do with you?”
“No, it's just that as your male friend and the one who promised to protect you I should know.”
“Urus is your own business Prince Edward, you also have to protect yourself.” Leathina spoke while pointing towards her right with her eyes.
“I? Why?”
Prince Edward immediately looked in the direction indicated by Leathina then saw Duke Leonard who was now glaring at the two of them and beside him also stood Nicholas and Nora who was also watching the two of them who were watching them they dance together.
“If with me you should increase your alertness by at least about 78%.”
“78% percent? What is it?”
“Oh that's a term where you count levels in numbers, Edward."
“Sound unique from where did you learn fill in – such unique terms? ”
“Ah, if it's me. I read it in the book.” Leathina somewhat stuttered to answer questions from Prince Edward because in fact the term he used was a term that he knew from his first life.
“I have much to learn from you Miss Leathina.”
“Please Prince Edward, but it looks like you won't learn anything from me.”
“Really? Let's see it later.
Leathina and Prince Edward were busy arguing with each other, arguing and defending each – and quarreling during the dance together, but in the eyes of – people they are both not like people who are fighting but two people who look like close friends who are chatting together.
