Chapitre 314: Rose Thorn

Things started off slow. But as soon as the music filled the air, everyone got onto the dancefloor. Everyone let loose that night. Laina and Dante danced together without a care in the world. It was clear to everyone present that they were match-made in Heaven. 

They were inseparable throughout the evening until Margaret pulled Laina away for a chat. She hugged the new Queen enthusiastically, congratulating her on her coronation. 

"I'm so proud of you Laina," Margaret praised as she released Laina from her hug. 

Laina placed a hand on Margaret's shoulder, "Thank you. You have no idea how much that meant coming from you."

Dante, who was watching Laina and Margaret's interaction from a distance, looked visibly anxious. His palms were moist from the sweat. He had one hand in his pocket, fidgeting with the small jewelry box. Queen Victoria noticed his uneasiness.
