Chapter 11: New Year Banquet 1.5
"Oh my~ You look stunning on your outfit Lady Louisa" Lady Cecilia said. She's a daughter of a count.
"Among the ladies here, you are the one who is most likely at the center of attraction" Lady Amelia said while looking around. She's a daughter of a marquess.
These girls approached me when I was drinking wine and asked me a lot of things.
"Will you tell us who made your dress, Lady Louisa?" Amelia asked.
"Of course. Horton Solario is my fashion designer" I answered.
"Hmm.. Horton.. I think I heard that name before but I couldn't remember where" she said and thinked carefully.
"He owns a small botique shop in western part of the capital" I said.
"Ohh! I know I know. Isn't he the guy who was receiving a lot of negative rumours? They said that all of his designs are copied from other designers" Cecilia said.
"Ahh! Yes. I remember now. Are you sure that you are not mistaken, Lady Louisa?" Amelia asked me.
"Ha! So you think I'm lying? You can check it out for yourself" I said.
"N-no.. We'll check it if w-we have time.. r-right Cecilia?" She said.
"R-right.. By the way.. Look over there" Cecelia said and pointed at the lonely girl.
"Isn't she the illegitimate daughter of Marquess Hans? Her dress it looks very cheap" she said and they both chuckled.
"A maid's child deserve to be neglected. I think that they don't give her proper meal" Amelia said.
"Indeed. Her appearance looks so unsightful. Her dress is unpleasant to see but... I think it also applies to the both of you. Well, I should take my leave now, Ladies" I smiled at the both of them.
The shocking face of them made me so satisfy. These people, when you're in front of them, they act really kind and warm but when you turned your back, they will attack you with their stinky mouth.
I don't plan on riding with their ridiculous doings.
I grabbed a whole bottle of wine and went to the balcony.
I was staring at the starry sky. I parted from my parents since they are talking with their acquintances and business partners.
And I don't really know where Louie went. He just left without saying anything.
I heard a music coming from the hall. It seems like the banquet dance will soon start.
I'm almost done drinking. Few more sip till the wine bottle emptied.
"Louisa! There you are. I was looking for you down there" my brother said.
"Oh, hi brother. I don't want to interact with those two faced nobles" I said.
"Did you drink it all?" He said while pointing the wine bottle I was holding.
I smiled at him and nodded. This won't make me drunk.
I have high tolerance of alcohol.
"Don't drink too much. You don't like drinking alcohol coz you get drunk easily" he said.
"I'm still okay. See?" I said and stood straight.
"The dance will soon start, let's dance together" he said
I remember that Louisa doesn't also like dancing since she's not really confident about her dancing skills.
She refused anyone who ask for a dance except for the Emperor and her big brother.
"Young master!" Someone shouted at the back.
"What is it again?" My brother asked.
He's the guy at the botique before when I went shopping with my brother.
I don't know his name but he's my brother's personal knight.
He rarely come to our household and never interact with anyone aside from my brother.
"You can go. I'll be fine on my own" I said
He patted my head before he left. What am I? A pet?
I can't believe how I can tolerate this kind of action towards well in fact, I really hated being teased by anyone in my modern life.
I don't really know how did I became very close with people and why is ut easily to trust them.
Is this because I'm not Ellison Louisa Vicente but Louisa Avelliene?
"Why is her majesty all alone in such great event?" someone asked.
I looked at him in confusion. Who the hell is this guy?
"Pardon for my rudeness. I am Alexander Hirsch, the Crown Prince of Kingdom Orman" he said and bow his head
"Ohh, okay? I'm Louisa Avelliene. Perhaps you already knew about my current situation since it already spread around the continent" I said.
"It's an honor to personally meet her majesty. The rumours circulating about you are pure lies now that I have met her majesty in person" he said.
How can he say that? We just met and there's a chance that the rumours are true or even worse.
I look at his dark hair and golden eyes that show his sincerity.
"Hm.. Uhhh.. *cough* Okay? Thank you?" I said
I don't really know what to say! >~<
"Your majesty, will you dance with me?" He said and lend his hand.
"Hmm. It's my pleasure to dance with the crown prince" I said and put my hand on his hand.
Why would I reject such beauty? I might be on spotlight again if we dance together.
Being in the center of attention makes me feel pleased.
We went to the dance hall and we dance along with the music.
"Her majesty is indeed beautiful in closer look" he said.
Is he hitting on me?
"Your highness is not an excemption!" I giggled.
"I'm a bit shy since everyone is looking at her majesty's beauty. I'm ashamed that I was able to dance with a goddess beauty" he said
Yes. Keep on showering me with compliments ehe~
"What are you talking about? You're an… idiot" I said and chuckled.
He was a bit shocked but also chuckled with me.
"Oh my! They both dance well"
"They look very good together"
"Is that Crown Prince Alexander? It's my first time seeing him in person"
"I also want to dance with Lady Louisa!"
"She is totally a living goddess"
The crowd is complimenting us but most of them compliment me the most.
Now just keep on staring at this goddess beauty and slowly turn into my loyal dogs.
"Your majesty? Do you feel uncomfortable with the crowd? Do you want to stop here now?" He asked.
"My my~ I'm veeeeey comfortable~ You don't have to worry" I said and smiled.
"Y-your majesty…. You resemble my big sister… oh! Sorry for my rudeness" he said and looked away
"You have big sister?" I asked
"Yes. She was not a princess-like lady. Haha. It brings those memories with her" he said and laugh
"Where is she now?" I asked again
"She already died" he smiled.
