章節 57: The West Courtyard

I stared at the crowd with a bored look on my face. It had only been ten minutes since Kai and I formally joined the ball, but I was already ready to go home. I was staying on the sides, thankful that nobody was actually curious about my existence in a party hosted by the imperial family.

The Winter Ball was filled with various nobles from different parts of Praiji Empire, as well as influential figures and foreign delegates. I even saw the emperor, Sebastian and Aunt Zaira doing their rounds of greeting people in the ball.

Andrea, Thomas and Bernard came and talked to Kai and me a while ago, followed by Peter who was escorting Freya. We were all surprised at their appearance and couldn’t help but ask what their relationship was.

“She’s my fiancée.” Peter calmly answered, but we were very shocked at it. It took all our effort not to scream out and receive unwanted attention.

“Shut your mouths, flies will feast in it.” Freya grumbled and rolled her eyes.
