Kapitel 29: Chapter 026 ( Pretending to be Sick )

" Father, but I ..." Monna had not finished churning out her lies, Belhart had approached her quickly along with Neil who seemed to have been looking for her worried.

Why? Are they afraid that I will run away and they will not succeed in humiliating me ?, Monna thought stupidly.

Until Belhart's deep voice broke her reverie.

" What are you doing here? Come in quickly! Because the event is about to start, " Belhart gave the order.

Monna couldn't help but step in to follow him. Her father and Neil also followed behind his. With all the restless feelings that Monna deliberately kept to cover, Monna looked around her surroundings looking for Alliesia.

That girl was standing cute in the corner of the room along with some of her familiar friends.

While considering what more appropriate words to say, Monna stopped her steps right in the middle of the hall.

" Your Excellency, " said Monna.

Belhart stopped in his tracks. Monna looked down doubtfully.

" I can't dance with you, " she said uncomfortably.

Belhart, Neil, and Mr. Shcoutz looked at him.

" Is there any problem? " asked Belhart. Staring at Cattarina.

" My.. "

Somehow, Monna felt an extremely cold aura from Belhart's body. But that doesn't necessarily make her abandon her intention at the start.

Of course. Of course there are many problem. And the most are those of you!

Monna then gave a hesitant smile.

" My stomach hurts, " reasoned Monna.

Belhart immediately responded.

" Does your stomach hurt? " repeated Belhart.

Monna nods confidently

" Yes, Your Majesty. It's been a few minutes since my stomach cramped a little. If you please, I want to rest right away. And about this party and dance, can you pick someone to represent me? I am sure many women will be willing. So, can... I can go now? " Monna asked slowly so as not to offend Belhart.

After all, from the start, Belhart didn't want to dance with her. Because of that, right now he must feel happy and relieved right ?!

Monna continues to be positive in her vigilance. But the look on Belhart's face, which was getting gloomy, made Monna dare not look at him again.

Did she just speak something wrong? But where? Why does Belhart look even more displeased? Was he annoyed that his plan to humiliate Cattarina had failed??

Monna bit her lower lip in a huff. She didn't know what else to say and what to do.

It seemed that if she just walked away now, Belhart would pull her by force and beat her. But Belhart couldn't possibly do that in public, could he? Moreover, at this time there was still her father beside them.

" Catty? Are you not feeling well? Is that why you were on the balcony earlier? " asked Mr. Shcoutz is worried about his daughter. Only Mr. Shcoutz could understand his daughter the best. Monna looked at her father with pity.

" Yes, Father. I'm not feeling well. But, what about the closing ceremony? I don't think I can continue this, " said Monna pretending to be sick and disappointed.

Belhart responded to Monna's words by stepping forward, approaching Cattarina. Monna was spontaneously nervous.

" Does your stomach hurt? " repeated Belhart a second time.

Whether it's a question or a statement, Monna just listens silently.

" Because the crown princess is sick, the event must be canceled." Exclaimed Belhart confidently.

Monna looked at Belhart quite seriously.

" What? How is that possible?" Monna asked disapprovingly.

"I can't let my wife get hurt alone without accompany. After all, without a partner, wouldn't this ritual be unnecessary? " Belhart tried to take a middle ground.

But, what's the middle ground? That's running away !!

Monna immediately made rebuttals and also input.

" Isn't your partner replaceable? I can help you select it if you want. There were countless beautiful women who were good at dancing in the hall. Is that all, not enough?? " Monna asked anxiously.

At first, she thought Belhart might agree to this proposal and move on. But if this event is canceled, won't Belhart be unable to dance with Alliesia? The plot of this romance novel?

Monna can't let this story line go off the mark! It's too bad for her and confusing.

" Is there anyone who can replace the Crown Princess dancing with me? " asked Belhart very fiercely.

Monna looked at him in confusion.

Of course there is !! She is a cute and beautiful woman who is within thirty meters radius of you !! Can't you see it ?? I even deliberately gave her the most beautiful dress for her. Is that now a waste ??!

" Your Majesty ..." Monna glanced back at Alliesia's presence at the end of the room. Why does Alliesia have to be so far away? Doesn't she want to dance with anyone?

There were a lot of people gathered in the hall.

They are waiting for crown prince and crown princess to start the event. But instead of cues or dance music that they listened to, their small arguments were noisy among the people who were waiting impatiently.

Oh, my goodness Belhart !! What really happened to you? Why are you getting more and more incomprehensible?

Before Monna could protest again, Belhart had already grabbed Cattarina's hand without her consent. Monna was surprised to accept his treatment. Meanwhile Belhart calmly gave Neil some instructions.

" Neil, lead the ceremony. Let them continue this event without us. I will bring the crown princess to rest. Make sure everything goes smoothly, " Belhart said firmly without turning to Neil.

Monna looked at Belhart in disbelief? Did he want to bring Cattarina with him and launch his own revenge?

Not! Monna must prevent that.

"Wait! I corrected my words. Looks like my stomach is better now. I think I can continue this program again. Come on, let's go back. " Monna asked softly, choosing to give up.

Honestly she really wanted to cry inside. Belhart really sucks! Did he know Cattarina was faking sick ?!

Ah, to hell with all her bad ideas on Cattarina! Monna would still put on her body without caring and worry in front of everyone if Belhart embarrassed her later.
