Capítulo 82: Reason behind that smile

People who wanted to meet her were currently surrounding her and Alex. Everybody, who was anybody in this part of the world, was present in this gathering. Even the king himself would be making his appearance. So, they said.

"Smile and bow." That was the only direction Alex told her as soon as they walked into the ballroom. Other than that, he was expecting that she knew what to do. He had complete confidence that she knew what she was doing.

"Of course, what else should I be doing?" She answered him sarcastically. She was expecting a little more heads up on what she was about to expect in this party, but all she got was those two words. Three if you would include the word and.

She wanted to smack his head with her hands if only she could. However, proper decorums dictated that she acted like a lady that she was pretending to be. Instead, she pinches him in the arms discreetly to avoid making a big scene.
