Revenge of the Forgotten Duchess
chapter 10
Zephyrion Ashthorn (crown prince/ml)
*Bowing gracefully, his smile warm and inviting* May I have this dance?
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*Hesitant, unsure of what to do* Umm, I—
Zephyrion Ashthorn (crown prince/ml)
*Gently taking her hand with a reassuring smile*
Zephyrion Ashthorn (crown prince/ml)
I promise, it won’t take long
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*Sighing softly but smiling back* Okay
As they move to the center of the ballroom, the orchestra shifts into a beautiful melody.
Zephyrion Ashthorn (crown prince/ml)
*leads Celestia with practiced grace, his movements smooth and confident*
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*Accidentally stepping on his foot, looking horrified* Oh no! I’m so sorry!
Zephyrion Ashthorn (crown prince/ml)
*Laughing softly,smile unshaken* It’s alright, Really
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*Moments later steps on him again, cheeks flushing in embarrassment*
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*Guilt-ridden, offering an apologetic smile* I’m sorry... I don’t really know how to dance
Zephyrion Ashthorn (crown prince/ml)
*Leaning in slightly, his tone encouraging* Just follow my lead and feel the rhythm
As they continue dancing, something shifts. Celestia begins to relax, her movements flowing with Zephryion’s. It feels effortless, as if they’re floating on air
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*eyes wide with wonder, whispering in awe* Wow...
Zephyrion Ashthorn (crown prince/ml)
*whispering * can i know your name? Miss
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
It's....it's Celestia
The magical quality of their dance captures the attention of the nobles around them
Whispers in the crowd:
"Is that the crown prince?"
"Who is he dancing with?"
Rhaelis Veylthorne (Duke)
*Notices the commotion and turns to see Celestia dancing with Zephryion*
Rhaelis Veylthorne (Duke)
*grip on his wine glass tightens, his expression darkening*
Random guy
*Nudging Rhaetic* Wait... isn’t that your wife? Why is she dancing with the crown prince?
Rhaelis Veylthorne (Duke)
*glare sharp, his knuckles white around the glass* I don’t know...
Rhaelis Veylthorne (Duke)
The music slows to a stop
Zephyrion Ashthorn (crown prince/ml)
*gently brings Celestia to a standstill*
Zephyrion Ashthorn (crown prince/ml)
*lifts her hand to his lips, brushing a kiss against her knuckles with a charming smile*
Zephyrion Ashthorn (crown prince/ml)
Let’s meet again, Miss Celestia
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*smiling shyly, her voice soft* It’s my pleasure, Your Highness
Ace loric (knight)
*Raising an eyebrow* You’re smitten with her, aren’t you?
Zephyrion Ashthorn (crown prince/ml)
*Smiling dreamily, touching his lips* Yes , It feels like a dream
Ace loric (knight)
*Grimacing in disgust* You’re so down bad
Zephyrion Ashthorn (crown prince/ml)
*Smirking confidently* Am I?
Zephyrion Ashthorn (crown prince/ml)
*look at Celestia* She’s perfect ,How can anyone not love her to death already?
Ace loric (knight)
*glancing toward Celestia* Well, with you as the competition, who could even try to love her?
Ace loric (knight)
*pausing briefly, his tone turning serious* But don’t forget—she’s married
Zephyrion Ashthorn (crown prince/ml)
*smirk growing sly* Not for long
Zephyrion Ashthorn (crown prince/ml)
Celestia returns to Rhaetic, who’s standing on the balcony, his expression unreadable. She offers him an awkward smile,
Rhaelis Veylthorne (Duke)
Rhaelis Veylthorne (Duke)
*Coldly* Who did you just dance with?
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*Gulping, fidgeting nervously* He... he asked me to dance, so I just—
Rhaelis Veylthorne (Duke)
*voice growing sharper* If you wanted to dance, couldn’t you have asked me?
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*silent, looking down at her hands, unable to answer*
Rhaelis Veylthorne (Duke)
*Sighing, his tone laced with frustration* This is why... you never make me feel desired by you
Rhaelis Veylthorne (Duke)
*looks at her with annoyance*
Rhaelis Veylthorne (Duke)
Forget it *turns and walks back inside, leaving Celestia standing alone*
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
.......
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*she whispers to herself* Am I really... that undesirable?
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
