Leap Dream (Love From Another World)
DANCE PARTY
Two more days of my engagement to Sen will be held. For almost a week, not only Madam Vero, even Calista and Rey helped me prepare everything.
“Hana you should look beautiful at the engagement party later”
“Am I not pretty enough now?” I asked Calista as we enjoyed our relaxing time.
“Sure you're beautiful, but you should pay more attention to your dance!” Rey joined us in our conversation.
“Isn't my dance better?”
“Well better than ever, at least you only stepped on my feet five times during dansa”
“Rey, I take that as a compliment” my smile is upset.
“Well you can think of it as so”
“Where is Zee?” I asked to see Calista who was looking the other way like looking for something.
“Oh he helped escort concubine Vera to exile”
Consort Vera was sent into exile before my engagement party.
“Zee will be present at my engagement party, just relax” whispered to Calista who immediately stiffened because of my words. Of course I know the anxiety.
‘Calista and Zee are indeed a compatible couple. I will expel Maura from here and free your status Calista.’
“Do you have Calista pain? Your face is flushed” said Rey who saw Calista's face reddened by my whisper.
“It's okay Rey, I just feel sultry, today hot” said I origin. ‘dia look cute when shy’

The day of my engagement arrived, and I still can't believe my current situation. Of course in my old world I never got to the engagement stage, just commitment crap. ‘Ah is not a time to remember the past! I should have missed today quietly!’
“Nona please don't move much.” said the waiter who was decorating me.
All my preparations were done, I was wearing a fancy party dress that I never thought I could wear.
“Nona, the Emperor has arrived” said a servant and opened the door.
Sen looks tanpan with his clothes, his hair is trimmed to look so dashing. ‘dia my future husband!’
“You ready?” Sen extended his hand to me.
We walked side by side towards the party room, the pounding on my chest couldn't stop beating so quickly.
“You nervous?”
“Of course!” my words tighten my embrace on his arm.
Sen rubbed my hand, giving me some peace. Everything's gonna be fine.
After the exchange of rings we were officially engaged. The dance party began, Sen and I headed to the middle of the party to start the dance, and everyone who was there followed us.
“Are you really learning well?”
“What?” ask Sen in the middle of our dance.
“Of course your dance practice, you've stepped on my feet many times”
“Ah really?” I didn't even realize I was stepping on her foot, I was just focusing on her face instead of her dance.
The music stopped and we finished the first dance, Sen looked upset, it seemed that during the dance I always stomped his feet. Sen took me to greet some nobles and it made my face stiff as it had to always smile at them.
I took a drink and took it to the balcony all looking for fresh air.
“Haah...my first dance.” never thought I could join a dance that is rarely done in my world.
“Hana?”
“Rey? You were here?”
“Well I saw you bring a drink out of binge”
“I did not go out, just looking for the wind.” I said then drank a little of my drink.
“What is this?” I thought juice but it was weird, the first time I drank it.
“You can drink it?”
“What do you mean? I can drink it!” I said drink that drink again.
“Wait Hana. Did you drink it for the first time?”
“Do you underestimate me?” I don't know why I can't control it.
“Hana you drink is wine, you should drink it slowly”
“Wine? Then why?” my head started to turn.
“Hana. Why do you drink it if you don't drink alcohol?”
“What's your problem? I just thirst and drink it!”
“Hana, you have to go back to your room, you're drunk!”
“No! I'm not drunk! I still want to be here, enjoy my party!” my words started to mess up.
“Hana, you can not enjoy the party with this state. I will call brother.” sounds a worried tone from Rey.
'My head is dizzy and my speech starts to slur, is this what is said to be drunk?'
“Rey..” I pulled Rey's hand preventing her from leaving. “Stay here.. I don't want to be alone in this world.”
Rey accompanied me, I had no idea what happened until Sen came to us and carried me back to the room.
*****
“Nona.. how are you doing?” Kin came in to bring me a bowl of soup and opened the window curtain.
‘my head is dizzy, I don't really remember what happened. It's my first time drinking alcohol, my first time drinking alcohol!’
“Kin who took me?”
“Emperor who hides and lays you miss.”
“Sen.. true I remember that time Sen came.”
“Nona drink this will relieve your drunk”
“Kin, I didn't do anything weird right?”
“hmm, miss. don't let Your Majesty go you hug her neck tightly, and whine don't want to be left alone”
“hukk... huk.. is that true?” I choked on hearing Kin's words.
“True, miss made Her Majesty stay in your room until you fall asleep”
‘ah impossible, how can I be like that? drunk really makes people go crazy!’
“Kin do I have to take a shower and see him?”
“That should be miss”

I went into Sen's office, there it was seen that he was handling some documents. ‘Should I talk about it now?’
“What are you doing here?”
“Hm, that.. it was about last night.”
“Every night? Why?”
“I'm sorry for making things difficult for you”
“Hmm, can I consider it an assassination attempt?” sen said casually
“Sen!!”
“You hugged me so tightly that I had trouble breathing.”
‘do I hug her that hard?’
“I apologize about that. back then I was a little. drunk”.
“Slightly said you?”
“Yes well I was really drunk and went crazy!”
“From now on you are prohibited from drinking wine and other alcoholic beverages when you are not with me!”
“Why you??”
“Because I like you who are wilder than usual” a demonic smile appears on Sen's face.
“From usually? What do you mean I'm wild?!”
“Don't you prove it?”
“Sen!! I'll be out!” yells annoyed.
“Where are you going?”
“Go from here! I may not drink alcohol I'm going crazy!” I said straight out of Sen's room in annoyance.
“Can-can he say I'm wild! If it wasn't for the alcohol I wouldn't have shown my wild side!” gruntuku annoyed. ‘ah shit I admit that I am wild!’
“Arrghh why can I get drunk just because of a glass of wine!!”
“Hana why are you? Is your hangover still not gone?”
“Rey... ” I turned to see Rey walking up to me. ‘True, before getting drunk I was with Rey’
“Rey, did I do anything weird last night?”
“What's weird?” her parrot.
“Well an unusual thing I did.”
“Hmm you mean whining I don't want to leave, and behaving like a cute kitten?”
“Do I do that??”
“Didn't you remember it?”
“I don't remember what I did last night when I was drunk.”
“You said that you don't want me to go and want to stay with me. Then you also want to marry me instead of my brother.”.
“You lied?”
“Well I lied”
“Rey!!!”
“Pufft hahahaha, other than you whining spoiled like a kitten, you do nothing.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, even though I liked it when you were a spoiled kitten.” Rey said and left me
“Rey!! You suck!” I shouted. ‘the two brothers really pissed me off!’
