The sound of crystal shoes tapping towards Colin was strangely rhythmic and tugged at his heart, causing him to turn around and see who was making the noise.
It was Queen Midela, approaching him with a charming smile.
"Viscount Angler, may I have the honor of dancing with you?"
Colin felt a sudden sense of alarm upon hearing the beautiful queen's invitation.
This woman must be up to something!
"It would be my pleasure to dance with you, but I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I just invited Queen Isa…"
However, Queen Midela didn't seem like she was going to let Colin off the hook that easily. She turned to Queen Isa and asked with a smile:
"Your Majesty, may I borrow Viscount Angler for a moment?"
"Of course," Queen Isa had no choice but to respond with a smile, giving Colin a look that said he was on his own.
Colin was speechless. He could only offer his hand to Queen Midela, and they walked into the dance floor of the grand hall.
