"Oh? I didn’t think such a beautiful lady would co to my birthday today." Aden spoke with a smile that, in his own mind, seed charming.
When his words ca out, the people around him also looked at the woman standing in front of him, and for a mont, they were stunned. It seed none of them expected such a beautiful woman to appear.
Then, in their hearts, they sighed. Now that this woman had caught Aden’s attention, they no longer had a chance. So even sighed inwardly for this woman.
Unfortunately, Aden didn’t have a good reputation, and most of the people here knew what kind of things this bastard liked to do to those who caught his attention.
Mornak also gave the woman a glance before pulling his gaze back. Maybe under normal circumstances, he would really be captivated by this woman.
However, at the mont, the only thing that caught your attention was the woman standing a little further away, next to another man.
Why would that woman stand beside another man? Was this supposed to be a sign of protest?
’If you think sothing like this can make angry, you’re a fool,’ Mornak growled.
"Thank you, Mr. Aden. I also never thought I would be allowed to attend such a place. It’s all thanks to my husband." Andreas felt sick from the words coming out of his own mouth.
But unfortunately, he had no choice and had to endure it.
"Oh? A husband? I didn’t expect a lady as young as you to already have a husband. I’d like to see who this lucky man is." Aden’s eyes glead with a dark light. It was clear that his greed was only growing stronger.
From a little farther away, Daniel was watching everything with a smile. Thankfully, everything was going according to plan, and there were no problems.
Still, for so reason, he had a bad feeling. His instincts told him that sothing bad might happen at any mont and ruin all of his plans.
Just to be safe, he ordered his Fallen to keep watch and report imdiately if they saw anything suspicious.
Then his gaze fell on the woman standing beside him. From the mont Mornak had arrived, his eyes had been fixed on this woman. During their conversation, Daniel had learned her na was Marianne.
She wasn’t from this city; in fact, she ca from an empire. However, she didn’t tell Daniel anything about that empire, not even its na.
It was obvious that although she looked calm while talking, she was actually very cautious not to say too much. That only sparked Daniel’s curiosity even more.
Still, he didn’t pry further because it could have the opposite effect, and more importantly, he didn’t have ti for such things.
Minutes passed slowly. The relationship between Andreas and Aden seed to be improving, even looking more intimate and coordinated.
Andreas had made up several lies, saying her husband was actually a worthless man who spent most of his ti on other won and drinking. Still, since she had no choice—and more importantly, because her family had forced her—she had been forced to marry him.
The more Aden listened, the more he smiled, because he had found a way to seduce this woman and enjoy her tonight.
He did everything he could to comfort her, speaking sweet and romantic words.
Soon it was ti for the dance. Music filled the hall, the sound echoing louder, as the light focused on the center of the floor. Pairs stepped into the middle and began dancing.
"Shall we dance?" Marianne looked at Daniel with a smile.
"I don’t know how to dance." Daniel smiled and declined, but Marianne ignored his words, grabbed his hand, and pulled him to the center of the floor.
"It’s not that hard. Just follow my movents." Then she began to dance.
Daniel sighed and followed her steps exactly, repeating her movents. Because both of them were beautiful, they quickly beca the center of attention, with countless eyes turning toward them.
As their dance went on, it beca more and more coordinated, almost perfect, as if they had been partners for years and had danced together many tis before.
Even Marianne herself was a little surprised. She hadn’t expected this boy to be so talented. Right when they started, she could tell Daniel really didn’t know how to dance.
But in just a few minutes, he had completely learned her movents and was already dancing almost professionally. A flicker of admiration appeared in her eyes.
She truly found herself drawn more and more to this mysterious man. Still, when she felt the hostile gaze fixed on them, she sighed.
Unfortunately, there was no chance for any relationship between them.
On the other side, Daniel was keeping track of the ti the entire while. After all, they only had limited ti here.
Through ntal communication, he told Andreas to speed up the plan a little. Then his gaze fell on Mornak. That bastard was looking at him with killing intent, as if Daniel was sleeping with his woman.
’Could it be this woman is really his fiancée?’ Daniel thought to himself.
It didn’t take long for their dance to end. As it finished, everyone applauded and cheered for them.
They bowed slightly, then returned to their table and took a sip from their cups of tea.
"I want you to find all the information about that man for ." On the other side, Mornak snorted coldly at the sight and looked at his subordinate as he gave the order.
The subordinate nodded and sent the young master’s orders to the others through ntal communication.
"My beautiful lady, what do you think of us having a dance as well?" Aden seized the opportunity and looked at Andreas.
Andreas blushed shyly and agreed, so the two of them went to the center and began dancing. Their dance wasn’t as dazzling as Daniel and Marianne’s, but it wasn’t bad either.
"I’m feeling a little tired. Is there a place here where I can rest?" Andreas whispered in Aden’s ear with a sweet and seductive voice.
Aden was thrilled when he heard those words. It seed his plan had finally succeeded.
Without hesitation, he ended the dance, and they walked toward the doors of the hall. Before leaving, he announced to all the guests that sothing important had co up and he would return soon.
The guests didn’t care much. Most of them were here to see Mornak, not Aden.
However, when Daniel saw the two of them leaving, he smiled and finished the tea in his cup. Then he also headed toward the doors of the hall.
"Where are you going?" Marianne curiously followed him. She wasn’t a fool; she knew sothing seed to be happening.
"It’s ti to end a beautiful performance." Daniel said mockingly as he went after Andreas and Aden؟
