Duchess Violet suddenly called Hunter on the stairs and suddenly announced our engagement party to hold right now. Is this her plan all along?. Is this why she wanted me to come along despite Marquess Helena used to come before. Was this there ploy all along? Well what did I expect from people who always made Marquess Helena angry despite her being an important figure of the Empire. Should I just run away? This is the best opportunity for me. These jewels will get me a good amount if I sell them. Okay that's my play. I'm running away tonight.

As soon as I was planning for today's night, I heard people around me whispering,

“So they are not gonna have their Own engagement party.”

“I knew that the youngest wasn't welcomed in the family but isn't that too harsh”

“Well I knew this was coming.”

“ It seems like he will be kicked out once his next birthdate.”

In high society if you aren't informed of the reason for the party and you suddenly announce this kind of thing, it says you aren't even worth it to have a separate function about it.

“ Come on everyone, now we will start the Engaged Duo’s performance.”The duchess said.

Is she asking me to perform a Ballroom Dance? It is also a tradition of the Kingdom,in which newly engaged couples have to perform it once in their lifetime at their engagement party. It usually requires a lot of training and practice with your partner. Is she that set on destroying my image in high society? Ah… all this will definitely reach Marquess Helena’s ears. If I run away tonight she will definitely do anything to find me.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Hunter is coming towards me. I should tell him the truth, right? I don't know if that will work, ah I'm getting nervous.

I have never danced in my life. So please forgive me if I ever make a mistake”.

I spoke, shutting my eyes tightly and tilting my head downwards slightly. Ah…. I panicked.

“ It looks like we are riding on the same boat but I will say this beforehand. We will Alright, even if we mess this up, as long as we are together we can do this, trust me.” Hunter said while nodding his head and patted my head.

What is he doing? Isn't that considered rude to do this. Well whatever it is, it doesn't feel too bad.

“It seems you are different from what the rumors were about and I'm really glad about it that you are my first partner”I said it unconditionally. I hope he isn't too mad at me. But as soon as Aaria saw hunter's face, she could see he was also embarrassed a little bit by Aaria's comment.

Then when we took the stage, I could feel Hunter's hand shaking nervously. It truly seems he wasn't aware of this situation to occur. But as soon as we arrived at the center of the hall. I could feel my nerves starting to get stable and my body started to move on my own. I couldn't imagine how this is happening but seeing Charles ability, this is nothing more amusing for me. But seeing Hunter's reaction, it seems this also isn't his plan in action.

After the whole performance, I found myself surrounded by many people asking for a dance with them.But I rejected all of them as there is a lot in my mind on what happened this night.

~After the ball party ended.

I'm being taken to a room by a maid named Riley Rose. She is one of only two maids Hunter has. By comparison my Eldest brother Carlson Heyman Jaden who I have never seen before has Eight personal maids on his command.

As soon as we entered the room, Rose said, “Lady Aaria! Your bath is ready.”

As soon as started to remove my dress, Rose who was standing behind was stunned and I also forgot wh
