"The dance will begin shortly. Those of you with partners, please come to the center of the hall and let everyone witness your love!"
When the young nobles heard the announcement, their faces immediately lit up.
The dance was the event they had been looking forward to most—especially those who had partners or were betrothed.
It was their chance to show off their relationships to everyone present.
At once, the young nobles made their way to the center of the hall with their respective partners or betrothed.
There were quite a few of them—nearly half of those present.
Of course, many still didn't have partners, so they could only gaze enviously at the men and women holding hands in the center of the hall.
Aldrian looked excited as the dance began. He had been waiting for this moment since yesterday.
With a broad smile, he walked toward Seira and was about to speak, but she suddenly walked past him, leaving him behind.
