Reincarnated as the Villainess

Chapter 14

Chapter 14

The party resume like nothing happened but this time the King will officially announce my engagement with the prince so obviously all the present guest have their full attention to the King

"Although my dear son, the crown prince has already announced his engagement to clarify it, I hereby declare Lady Selena Artemis Lockheart to be given the title 'regina, a title of a princess in training to be betrothed to Prince Arthur Ares Goudrick!"

By that announcement those who are witness give as a round of applause and it gets more louder when Ares took my hand and lead me to where the King and Queen with both my mother and father, even grandpa was in-front

When we already reach our destination the whole room has gone quiet once again. The king gave something to Ares before facing me and smiling

"It would be a waste if your father doesn't agree" He said that makes me confuse but doesn't mind thinking it wasn't important

Then he gave me a cute little pink box with white ribbon on top, when I look at him he only nods his head implying for me to open it. So I gladly do it and saw a crescent moon shape white jeweled that when it gets contact with light it gave off a calming feeling as it beautifully shines with different colors, A Moon Stone! The rarest stone that exist in this world!

"Your Majesty!" I called startled by the present and not only me but even my family and the other nobles was also awestruck

"It is a moon stone dear" The queen spoke while slowly stroking my silver gold hair

"Bu—" I cut myself as I don't really know what to say

Moon stone, a stone so rare that many doesn't really know of its existence and if you know you're just gonna think that it was merely a myth if only the royal family doesn't have! It's so rare that only two pieces of it was known to exist! And now the Kind was giving it to me as a congratulatory gift?

"Its fine, I bet it suits you" Ares said before taking it and placing it on my head "See? Told you, it really suits you" Moon stones are so small that it was only the same size as my current palm and this moon stone was designed as an hair ornament

And when Ares placed it on my hair it's like it really meant to be there as it shines once again letting us see its unparalleled beauty

"Oh, it is" my mother said before coming closer to us

"Then, Ahem" all attention was now on Ares when he fake a cough before facing me and lending me his right hand while his left hand was on his back while his upper body was bowing a little the same as his head

"Will I have the honor of your first dance, My lady?" he said before looking up to me with a smile, different with his usual business smile and I think I'm not the only one to notice it some of the guest that was still looking at us gasp

"Hoo~"
"Would you look at that"

"They're just four years old though"

"Young love was really great haha"

"But their too young"

I almost laugh at the silly things our parents were talking about but I still hold it in before giving my sweetest smile that I can muster before taking Ares' hand

I even saw how his face became red much more his ears, I also saw in my peripheral vision that almost those who are the same age as me become red too and other even have a nose bleed, even my nii-san, and Samuel-nii though Ophion still has his poker face but his ears betray him as it was so red that it look like it was pinched numerous times

Even the parents, men or women has this face like they were saying "Aww" Though not all of them because the other were like pedo (pedophile)? With their uhh, lust coming out? Because of that thought I felt a chill just run down my spine but then it disappear when Ares squeeze my hand that he was holding a little while we were walking towards the center of the dance floor

I can't see his face as he was walking in-front of me but base on their looks that saw us - him turned pale like they saw death itself. I wonder what kind of expression he was wearing now? But why would I even wonder? Of-course he still has his indifferent business smile!

When we arrive at our destination he guided my left hand to his shoulder while his right hand was supporting me through my waist and my free hand was envelop on his slightly bigger hands

We started dancing when a slow and sweet song has played and I was like •,=,• For god's sake! Do I have to remind them that we, both are still a freaking four year old kids?! Well I know we are not a normal kids but still!

Ares gently guided me throughout the first song and when the second song plays with another slow and sweet music our parents and some other noble kids also join us here in the dance floor.

"You can lean, you know"

"Huh?" when he saw my confusion he just smiled at me a little different to his usual smile that practically scares me but he doesn't say anything again, instead he pull me closer so it was like we were hugging each other or he was hugging me though he was practically hugging me, my hands that were placed on his chest to push him a little and him that looks like hugging me through my waist, so were pretty close

We were also about the same height even though I'm wearing heels so that means his a little taller than me despite him just being older than me for three months

Because we were so close I was a little tilting my face to the side to avoid his face as It was really freaking close! I told you! (//>///<//˥) and the thing is, I can feel others taking a glance at us or bluntly staring at us! Like him! Ares! He was bluntly staring at me!

"Look at me" What are youuuu??!! I'm still freaking sane you know! I still feel embarrass you little devil!

When I refuse to look at him, he guided my right hand to his other shoulder while his free hand hold my chin to let me look at him What the hell is wrong with him?! I was already dying of embarrassment here and he just--- Like hell! O,3,O

"Heh~" Was the sound he make when he saw my blushing face

"Wut?" I ask still avoiding his eyes, but he doesn't answer me again instead he smirk, the reason that I puff my blushing cheeks

While avoiding his gaze, my sight landed on different nobles, I saw the other capture targets but never did I once saw the heroine dancing

I wonder where she is? Hmm

The music end, and Ares guided me to the buffet table, and of-course on the dessert area, how I love sweets hehe

I heard Ares laugh but I pay it no mind as my mind drifted to the thoughts of what kind of dessert I will eat

Yum, hehe ^3^
