"Uhm…Alexander…what is the sudden invitation?" Diana stammered as she tried to figure out what was going on. Why is Alexander being assertive?
"This is a ball, after all, it would be a waste if we don't dance," Alexander said, his hand extending forward, inviting her to dance. He continued. "This would be a great honor for me to dance with the lady who would soon become the Queen of the Britannia Empire."
"But…" Diana hesitantly reached out to his hand but as soon as she showed signs of willingness, Alexander grabbed her hand and pulled her up.
"Uwah…" Diana let out a startled gasp as she found herself standing close to Alexander.
"Oh…is this how the Emperor of the Ruthenia Empire acts?" Kaiser Wilheim commented from his seat, observing the whole ordeal.
"Kaiser Wilheim, I would like to finish our discussion later. Please wait for me kindly," Alexander said as he gazed at him.
