Chapitre 258: The ball (part 1)

Roxana arrived at the ball hall where musicians were playing music, people were already dancing, chattering, and drinking. Right at the front, sat Alexander on his throne and high generals and courtiers came to introduce their daughters. She could see Alexander nodding politely but not giving anyone much attention. 

He seemed a bit distracted, his eyes wandering away sometimes while trying to listen to a few that talked for too long and when she stepped further in, his gaze found her immediately. 

Roxana's heart skipped a beat. His gaze remained glued on her despite the people dancing that blocked their view often and other people passing by. As he got interrupted again, not wanting to tear his gaze away from her, her sister gave her a push. 

Roxana turned to Diana. "People are staring at us." She whispered and she realized that they indeed caught a lot of attention. Must be Angelica's way of dressing them up.
