As Alex escorted Lapiz away from the dance floor, Aeris stood in place, waiting for them to arrive at her location.
However, as if sensing her sister wanted to talk to her, Lapiz gently swerved Alex toward her brother, Prince Kaelen, who was looking at her sister with a smile.
Not wanting to make a scene, Aeris calmly approached her siblings as soon as Alex finally left for his table.
"I thought we had an agreement that you won't dance with Alex," Aeris whispered in Lapiz's ear.
"We did," Lapiz replied. "But I changed my mind when you danced with him."
"What do you mean?" Aeris frowned.
"I find it unfair that you can dance with him, but I can't."
"Lapiz, I was doing that for you. I want to protect you."
"Protect me from who?" Lapiz smiled wryly. "From Alex?"
"Yes. He is a womanizer, you know? He also has a very bad reputation in the academy."
