Chapter 1914 - 462: Flirt and Run, Even More Challenging
Neo walked over to Yun Ya with a smile, one hand behind his back and the other extended towards her, speaking with full gentlemanly flair: "Noble Your Highness, might I have the honor of dancing with you?"
Agunara realized he was a step too late, having been sidelined by the rascal Neo, feeling unfair in his heart, he walked over to the other side of the Princess and reached out his hand to invite her to dance.
"Your Highness, please open your eyes and see who is truly most qualified to dance with you."
He finished the spoken provocation with a challenging look at Neo, appearing determined not to lose.
Neo maintained his charming smile, staring at Yun Ya without blinking.
Only Lorde, like an outsider, watched from afar.
Everyone was watching the three of them, whom would Your Highness ultimately choose? Did the Princess’s choice indicate who she favored? Would she choose someone for Prince Consort?
Yun Ya’s gaze fell upon Lorde, and as Lorde unexpectedly caught her glance, his heart leapt suddenly, then he calmly averted his eyes, ignoring the abnormal heartbeat.
"Tap tap tap." The sharp sound of high heels echoed on the smooth floor, the rhythmic noise struck heavily on the hearts of everyone present like the beating of a drum.
Step by step, she walked towards Lorde, a smile playing on her lips, her eyes seemed filled with dazzling stars.
"May I invite you to a dance?"
With Yun Ya’s gentle and moving voice, Agunara and Neo looked at the two in shock, Neo still managed to remain composed, sheepishly touched his nose and shook his head with a smile.
But Agunara’s temper wasn’t as good, he snorted heavily in discontent.
A flicker of surprise flashed in Lorde’s eyes, and with a slight furrow of his brow, he looked at the young girl standing before him.
In those clear pupils, he saw his own reflection.
"Could it be that Young Master Lorde is unwilling? It really is disappointing..." The young girl slightly puckered her lips, knowing well she didn’t actually mean it, but Lorde’s usually cold heart still felt stirred by the girl’s expression.
"I... am willing."
A gentle smile bloomed on the girl’s face as she stepped forward, placing her soft and boneless hand on the man’s shoulder, in that moment, the touch spread from her fingertips like a wave, leaving half of Lorde’s body tingling.
The girl’s fragrant scent filled the air, slightly intoxicating.
Lorde’s breaths quickened, his eyelids slightly closed as he took a deep breath, calming his chaotic heartbeat. When he opened his eyes again, he was greeted by the girl’s enchanting eyes, as starry as misty, as deep as the ocean, collapsing his barely suppressed heartbeat once more...
"Young Master Lorde, don’t you know how to dance?"
The girl took his hand, placed it on her slender waist, the warm and smooth skin made Lorde’s fingers tremble abruptly, then she covered his hand back with her own soft, boneless hand, intertwining their fingers close together, as he heard his heartbeat diving into a deep abyss.
His life had always been accompanied by guns, he had never imagined dancing with a woman...
"It’s very simple, I’ll teach you."
The young girl patiently taught him dance steps, initially, Lorde’s movements were stiff, he stepped on Yun Ya’s instep several times. Yun Ya not only didn’t get annoyed but laughed more gently and tolerantly.
"Yes, just like that, Young Master Lorde is very talented..."
Under the brilliance of dazzling crystal chandeliers, the world was awash with white light, the girl’s beautiful and soft face appeared somewhat surreal in the extravagant lighting.
Lorde gradually found his rhythm, danced quite appropriately, the two were becoming more and more in sync, a perfect match of handsome man and beautiful woman, perceived as such by all watching.
Instantly, discussions erupted, with people talking about how fitting the pair looked standing together, just like a match made in heaven.
Agunara clenched his fists in anger: "This Lorde, thought he was so lofty, yet he’s the most scheming, even seducing the Princess, it’s infuriating."
Neo smiled faintly, took a grape from a plate, popped it into his mouth, his gaze fixed on the pair dancing more beautifully at the center, he chuckled: "Don’t you think they look very well matched?"
"I spit, Lorde’s unsavory demeanor, how could it suit the Princess?"
Agunara said disdainfully.
Neo curled his lips.
"Oops..." Yun Ya inadvertently twisted her ankle and was about to fall to the ground when Lorde’s eyes darkened slightly, swiftly stretched out his arm to embrace Yun Ya’s slender waist, enacting the classic hero-saving-damsel moment often seen in dramas, classic because regardless of time passed, it remains touching.
As their eyes met, time seemed to freeze.
The crystal chandelier above sparkled blindingly, Yun Ya blinked, smiling softly: "Thank you, Young Master Lorde, for rescuing me, or else I’d have embarrassed myself greatly today."
Her expression carried a touch of playfulness.
Lorde immediately came back to his senses, released her and stepped back a few paces, his lashes lowered, obscuring his expression.
"It’s nothing, just a small effort." He spoke lightly, his hand hanging by his side clenched tightly, with raging waves surging in his heart, yet his face remained calm and collected.
Yun Ya lowered her gaze and smiled, "In any case, I still have to thank you."
"Princess, if you can dance with Lorde, why can’t you dance with me? I dance much better than Lorde." Agunara came over, unwilling to concede.
Of course, experienced from countless women, he was naturally better than Lorde who was dancing for the first time.
Yun Ya curled her lips, "I once said I would only dance one dance tonight. Sorry, Prince."
Agunara was angry but didn’t dare to show it, so he could only glare fiercely at Lorde.
"Just you wait!"
"Your Highness, your dance was truly splendid. We are in awe." A young girl in a pink dress came over, praising with a touch of flattery, though it was perfectly measured and not at all off-putting.
Yun Ya glanced at the girl, who was quite sweet-looking, with bright, lively eyes. Though her words were addressed to Yun Ya, her gaze secretly peeked towards Lorde.
Yun Ya found it amusing, "Is that so?"
Under Yun Ya’s seemingly smiling gaze, the girl’s heart tightened slightly, and she quickly lowered her eyes, for such a gaze was hard to meet directly.
Yun Ya raised her hand, rubbing her temple slightly, and bowed slightly, "I’m feeling a bit tired, and would like to go back to rest. Please continue."
With those words, she gracefully walked away.
"Princess..." Agunara was just about to follow, but Wu Hen stopped him. Under Wu Hen’s cold gaze, he retreated angrily.
Until the two figures disappeared from view, he muttered under his breath, "Just you wait... the Princess will be mine sooner or later."
"Young Master Lorde is quite fortunate, it seems the Princess has quite a liking for you..." Neo approached Lorde with a smile.
Lorde watched the girl walk away, his fingers lightly stroking his palm.
Flirt and then run away?
"Does this mean Young Master Lorde is about to become the Prince Consort?" the girl in the pink dress innocently asked.
Lorde didn’t spare them a glance and turned to leave the party.
The girl in the pink dress lightly bit her lip, looking somewhat wronged.
"Hey, little beauty, what’s your name?" Neo winked at the girl, asking with a grin.
Neo was charming and dashing, and if he chose to flirt, few girls could resist; this girl was no exception, her cheeks instantly turning red as she shyly replied, "I... I am Gan Wei’er, General Gal’s niece..."
This man was the youngest Duke in the history of Country Y, a noble second only to the Queen, truly a dashing and flirtatious talent.
But no matter the noble status, it couldn’t mask his playboy nature. She still felt that a man like Young Master Lorde, who was cold and upright, offered more security and was more heart-stirring.
"General Gal’s niece?" Neo raised his eyebrow lightly, his smile growing deeper.
"How many points would you give my performance just now?" Yun Ya asked as she walked.
Wu Hen followed by her side, lowering his gaze upon hearing this, his fists clenched tightly.
"I think I would give it 99 points, saving one point for fear of arrogance," she said with a laugh first.
Agunara was too foolish; Neo, in his awkward position in Country Y, was no match for Lady Mindai and would eventually become a political pawn. As for Lorde, being Sangque’s only son, his abilities were not to be underestimated, and Sangque took special care of him. Most importantly, among these three, only Lorde remained unmoved by beauty, making it all the more challenging, right?
"Lorde..." She savored the name on her lips, her eyes playful and profound.
If the one you choose is him, then I will show you what it’s like to lift a rock only to drop it on your own foot.
Wu Hen closed his eyes.
Yun Ya heard a string of hurried footsteps and signaled Wu Hen with her eyes; Wu Hen stood still as Yun Ya coldly curled her lips, "Are you not even listening to me anymore?"
Pain flashed in Wu Hen’s eyes as he looked deeply at her, then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Princess." A disgustingly familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
Yun Ya’s gaze was deep and icy, a whiff of blood seemed to pass, but as she turned, her eyes were instantly covered with a gentle wave, her lips smiling gracefully and charmingly.
Agunara hurried over, "Princess, I finally found you..."
