Chapter 306: Something new (2)

Hazel and Tobias walked to the centre of the room to join the other couples already positioned to dance as the next song would soon start. 

It came as a surprise for those around them to see the royal couple getting ready to dance among them instead of sitting on the throne where they normally spent most of the ball.

Hazel noticed the couple's hesitation and heard their questions about whether they were to leave to let the king and queen dance alone. "Please join us in dancing," she said to end the confusion. 

Dancing with Tobias would be so much better if it was done with more couples enjoying their partner's company around. Hazel enjoyed seeing old and new couples dancing the night away and wanted to be a part of it. It helped her to feel normal. 

Tobias joined in reassuring the other couples that it was fine to stay. "Should any of you leave because I am here with my wife, I might feel offended."
