章 101: Oddity

A few minutes had passed, but the dance had not yet begun. Felicia was chatting with Francis in the center of the room, being watched by everyone.

"Don't you think they look very compatible? Sir Brian?" Ursula Andoram asked her fiancé Brian Biverlay.

"Ugh! It should've been me, not him!" growled Brian, who didn't seem to dispute what Ursula said.

Brian stared wistfully at them. Watched her with Prince Francis, with her smile lighting up the room. He had felt a sharp ache in his chest as he watched from the sidelines, wishing he could take his place. He couldn't help but feel a pang of regret as he remembered what had happened that day. If only he hadn't made a mistake at that dance, Felicia could be his fiancé now, and he would have been dancing with her at Prince Francis' birthday party.

Brian then looks at Boldenville's family, and he sees Allen. Brian stuck out his tongue when their eyes met, giving him a mocking look.
