CH 4

Behind Sophie, in a corner of the dance hall, a romantic scene was unfolding.

The star of the show was, you guessed it, Miss Charlotte. Her fingers crawl on His Highness Garrett's chest, leaning on him sweetly. Her seductive gesture could hardly be described as that of a 15-year old girl in her lowest grade, and she was closely following his step, huddling close to him as if they were a couple.

Despite the end of the song and the people around them changing partners, they made no movement of separating.

When His Highness Garrett spoke to her with embarrassment, Miss Charlotte’s cheeks flushed red and she buried her face in his chest.

I don't know what he said, but judging from His Highness Garrett's reaction, it seems to have had the opposite effect on her.

While struggling to tear off Miss Charlotte from clinging onto him, they drifted into a second dance that should only be reserved for his fiancée.

How bothersome …

This was the impression I had the moment I witnessed the scene.

Just as I was beginning to believe that I successfully avoided the confrontation, this scene began immediately afterwards. What annoyed me was that I had been so careless.

Emma, my maid servant, and “Peridot”, had been collecting information from her fellow servants, and they all declared Miss Charlotte as a "crazy saintess candidate" and "a compulsive liar." There's no way she's normal in her school life or her personal life. It was naive of me to believe Miss Charlotte had any good sense.

Usually, you can only dance with the same person once. The person with whom you dance two songs can only be your fiancé, and only when you become husband and wife are you allowed to dance a third song. In other words, them going into the second song in front of me, his fiancé, was a lot like challenging me.

His Highness Garrett seemed to be in a state of shock, so I can only assume that he was unwilling to leave the room, but what would a prince do if he couldn't handle a woman properly?
