Chapter 185: [Bonus chapter] The Banquet (2)



"You can follow my steps if you face any difficulty," he said.

But I did not face any difficulty and neither had I thought I would for now. The steps were clear and I knew where to put my feet.

"Wow! You are doing really well, but I never knew you can dance," he said.

"I didn\'t know I can too, until now," I said. "You are doing really well too."

"Mother taught me. I used to dance with Evelyn during different events," he said. "I am not particularly fond of dancing. But it\'s great to do it with you."

"Hmm... Same for me," I admitted. "It\'s great to dance with you. By the way, that lady over there is staring at you, and the wine is dripping from her glass, yet she hasn\'t noticed it yet."

"Where?"

"On our right, there," I said, pointing at the woman with my eyes.

"Ah, yeah, I can see her," he said. "Are you jealous?"

"No?"

He looked at my face as if he was trying to see if I was telling the truth or not. "You really are not jealous," he sighed. "Aren\'t you my wife? Shouldn\'t you be jealous that some random woman is gawking at your husband?"

"I can understand her. You are really handsome. It\'s natural that she is blinded by your looks. But well, it\'s really rude and indecent to gawk at someone\'s husband," I said. "Anyway, I don\'t have any reason to be jealous. It\'s not like you are gawking at her.

And besides, even if she came near you, there is a possibility you would be very rude to her. So, I am more worried about that woman. Let\'s hope she doesn\'t approach you."

"Pfft... "You may be the first woman to say that about someone interested in your husband," he laughed.

"Well, what can I do? I got a very different kind of husband after all," I said.

"I can\'t argue with that," he said with a chuckle.

"Oh, Evelyn and Merrick... What are they doing over there? Is Evelyn arguing with that woman?"

Evelyn and Merrick were gathered in the far corner of the room. Evelyn appeared to be arguing angrily with someone while little Ava was in her father\'s arms. She was in a good mood even just a short time ago.

"She is arguing with that woman," Dem said.

"How do you know that...? Ah, werewolves have an extraordinary hearing... But what are they arguing about?"

"That woman over there said something to Ava."

"What did she say? Was she rude?"

"Kind of," he said. "You see, people here would try to target us in any way they could. Sometimes it\'s because of something personal, and other times it\'s because of something else. They won\'t even leave a child alone. That\'s why Evelyn is mad."

"Really? How can that woman say something rude to our cute little Ava? Evelyn should slap that woman," I grumbled.

"Don\'t worry. Evelyn is not the type to sit still. My sister quite resembles my personality from some points," he smirked. "She will do well."

The way Dem said it, it did not seem he was merely joking. And within a moment, I saw Evelyn slapping that woman. Not many people cared though.

"Wow..."

"That\'s what I meant," Dem said knowingly. "Don\'t worry. That woman won\'t be able to do anything to you."

"Why the hell would I be worried about something like that? I am just surprised... Evelyn seems very cheerful and she smiles almost all the time. I did not know she has that side to her," I said.

\'Now that I think about it, Dem appears cold and indifferent, but when we\'re alone, he\'s very clingy and cute. Evelyn might be the same way. Both of them have different sides to them that\'s hard to expect.\'

The song was over. Dancing felt so natural that I was naturally conversing with Dem while dancing. And I enjoyed it as well. But because of my weak body, I was tired just after dancing in two songs.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"I will take a break," I said. "My body feels weak again."

"Alright, let\'s go to that silver punk," he said. "I will go and do my work too. You will be okay with him, right?"

"Hmm, don\'t worry about me."

Dem led me to where Luc was. Luc had drunk at least three glasses already. But he did not seem drunk at all. Just like before, he was surrounded by women. But he did not care about them at all and came towards us when he noticed us.

"You danced quite well for someone who has never danced before," Luc commented.

"How do you know she has never danced before?" Dem asked.

"Obviously, Blue told me," Luc said with a shrug.

They were arguing for no reason again. But I was watching Evelyn. She was drinking and laughing with her husband while Ava went to play with some other kids. It did not look like Evelyn got into a fight just a while ago.

"Sweetheart, what\'s wrong?" Dem asked.

"Nothing," I said.

"Good then," he said and gave me a peck on the lips. "You will be fine, right?"

"Knock it off, really!" Luc grumbled.

"I will be fine," I said. "You can go now. I will be with Luc the entire time."

"You have the dagger with you, right?"

"Yeah, I carry it everywhere," I replied, nodding. "You don\'t have to be concerned about me. Just do what you need to do."

He kissed me again, right in front of everyone, and then left. He said he was going to talk to the Duke of Ataraxia and Trouvaille about something. King Ford and the King of Ataraxia were going to be present there as well.

Despite the fact that I had been Queen of Querencia for two months, I had yet to meet the Duke of Querencia. Ruby said it was not a big deal since if I began to work fully as the Queen, I would be able to meet all the important people of Querencia.

"Are you worried about something?" Luc asked.

"No," I shook my head. "Let\'s taste some lemon cake first. You waited for me, right?"

"I did. Come on."

The banquet\'s food was exquisite. Luc claimed to have had a taste of Ataraxia\'s Royal Palace\'s lemon cake, which he described as "amazing." I trusted Luc\'s judgment most of the time, so I was eager to try it.

And just like he said, it was really amazing. The scent of lemon was the specialty of the cake. It was not too moist, but not too hard as well.

"Wow, it really is good," I said.

"Right? I told you!" Luc exclaimed bashfully.

But I could not enjoy it as much as I wanted to. There was an uneasy feeling. Since the evening, it had been the same. It felt as if I was hearing an unknown voice but had no idea what it was saying.

I had the impression that there was another part of myself someplace else, and that I was hearing what that part of me was hearing.

But how could that happen? I was right here. How could I be somewhere else? It had to be impossible, right?

"Hey, you don\'t look so good. If you have something bothering you, you can tell me," Luc said. "Or do you feel any pain in your stomach or something?"

"Actually, I\'m just feeling a little uneasy," I said. "I\'m not sure what it is, but it feels as if I\'m invading someone else\'s privacy."

"What do you mean?"

"It\'s as if I\'m hearing something that someone else is supposed to hear. It\'s unclear, but I occasionally feel like I\'m in someone else\'s body somewhere else, experiencing what that person is feeling," I explained.

"That\'s pretty messed up."

"You\'ve never heard of something like this before, have you?"

"No, I haven\'t," he said. "But if you are experiencing it now, I might need to look into the matter. There must be something serious going on."

"And I am having strange dreams," I said. "But the problem is I don\'t remember them afterward, but I just know that it was something strange."

"Is it about your past...? It can happen since you are..."

"No, they are normal. But the ones I have now are different. They are not scary, but I have a feeling that if I can remember them, I will find out something about the situation," I said. "It\'s like a mystery uncovered in front of me, yet blurry."
