"Do you rember my reputation as the mistress terminator?"
Selyu pouted, as if stifling a laugh. Seeing her expression, Lorenzo shook his head even more awkwardly, then said.
"Co, let introduce you. These are the noble ladies who entrusted with tasks. What you're seeing now is their little group, the Saturday Housewives."
A group of housewives, heartbroken by n, choosing to party hard on Saturday nights.
These ladies gathered around Lorenzo, celebrating this rare reunion.
…
On the second floor of the ball, n and won whispered in dark corners. Unlike the noisy dance hall on the floor below, it was very quiet here, so the girl could finally stop, look out the window, and enjoy a rare mont of freedom.
A few n noticed her, initially hesitant, but upon seeing the fiery red hair, they seed to have locked onto their target and slowly approached. One of them spoke with a voice as warm as possible, like a gentleman.
"Excuse , beautiful lady..."
The girl heard the voice and slowly turned her head, initially with a face full of disgust, but as if she rembered sothing, her expression swiftly changed, and she smiled like a friendly girl.
The man was delighted inside. He had long heard of the girl's bad temperant and was prepared to be rejected, but unexpectedly, she smiled at him, which seed like the first step to victory.
"May I invite you to dance?"
The girl seed to hesitate for a mont but eventually smiled and placed her hand on his. Feeling the softness in his hand, the man was so excited he almost scread, couldn't believe he finally succeeded.
On the other hand, the girl paid no attention to this. She slightly tilted her head, watching the two people in the hallway; they seed to be monitoring her, constantly approaching since earlier. Then, the girl directly pulled the man and quickly walked down the stairs.
"Do you want to dance with ?"
While going down the stairs, the girl suddenly asked the man, who nodded vigorously again. In his view, riches and honor were within reach.
But just then, the girl pointed behind him and said, "Those two people don't seem to want to leave."
Upon hearing this, the man beca aggressive. In his view, anyone who obstructed him today was an enemy. Turning around, he saw the two n who resembled attendants walking down the stairs, and he said to the girl.
"Don't worry, I'll handle them."
"I'll leave it to you then!"
Eve, looking as if a great responsibility had descended upon her, patted the man's shoulder, watched him fiercely approach the two, then slipped into the crowd with a sly laugh.
anwhile, on the higher third floor, a man leaned on the railing, watching the floral crowd gathered by the ladies with a slight frown.
"Duke, shall I quiet them down for you?"
Seeing the Duke's uneasy expression, the attendant asked.
This ball held multiple anings. The dance hall on the first floor was for entertainnt; the shadows on the second floor served as a social and conversational place for young people, while the protected third floor was where the powerful figures who truly held authority resided. Many interests were decided here.
"No need. I just feel there's soone familiar there."
Duke Phoenix spoke slowly. From this distance, he couldn't clearly see the person at the center of the floral crowd, yet a strange sense of aversion lingered in his mind, as if he just... just wanted to draw his gun and fire at them.
