Chapter 5 - A Dull Party
As I walked down the stairs to the ballroom, Matthias was waiting for me at the bottom.
Matthias Wind
My... when I said that you blossomed into a flower, I never thought that you transformed into a whole rose bush.
Summer Centianne
Thanks for the compliment, Mati.
Matthias Wind
You'll get tired of them tonight. I'm sure that you'll receive more than one should receive in their lifetime tonight.
I'd exchange all of the compliments in the world for a dance with Cassian.
Summer Centianne
Where is Cassian?
Matthias Wind
You break my heart, Princess.
Matthias Wind
Am I still not good enough for you?
Summer Centianne
T-That's not what I-
He chuckled and I soon realised that he was making fun of me.
Matthias Wind
I'm kidding.
Matthias Wind
He's gone to sort something out. Anyway, shall we?
Putting out his hand, I sighed and smiled, thanking him for extending out an arm to me.
And so, we walked into the party hall and I was immediately greeted with looks of envy, of desire, of greed and of curiosity.
I was, after all, the "Angel of Hamilton Hall".
And now, upon coming to a marriageable age, I am the angel that every household wants.
I was immediately swarmed by men but someone arrived before everyone else.
Count Tielle
Miss Summer, we meet again.
Summer Centianne
Count Tielle...
Count Tielle
The pleasure is all mine.
Summer Centianne
I'm sure...
This guy is disgusting...
Not only has he already two baxtard children out of wedlock but one is living with him in his manor.
Count Tielle
I was wondering if you'd care for a dance.
Summer Centianne
Um, unfortunately, I've always got reservations with someone else.
Count Tielle
I don't see any dance partner here.
Matthias Wind
You're looking at him.
He took one look at Matthias and burst out laughing.
Count Tielle
This buffoon? What is he, a shoemaker?
He's a professional watchmaker who creates works of art for Kings and Queens.
However, I don't need to explain anything to someone like Country Tielle.
Summer Centianne
I'm parched. Mati?
Matthias Wind
Right behind you, Princess.
Count Tielle
Hey, hold on just a second! I'm not finished!
He then aggressively gripped hold of my arm, making me wince.
Matthias's eyes immediately turned red with fury as he went to punch the guy in the face. However, I beat him to it.
With one clear swing, it took me three seconds to put him to the floor.
It was so fast that it simply looking like he tripped himself.
Summer Centianne
Oh, goodness... coming to a party drunk is indecent, Count Tielle.
Summer Centianne
I'll send for your carriage to send you home immediately.
Count Tielle
Who says that I'm drunk-
I then stepped on the back of his hand, making him scream hysterically.
Summer Centianne
Goodness, how improper.
Mati smiled at how I handled myself while Count Tielle's footmen came from the outside and brought him back to his carriage.
Matthias Wind
Impressive manoeuver.
Matthias Wind
Did Frost teach you that?
Summer Centianne
Experience taught me that.
Mati chuckled heartily and put out his arm.
Matthias Wind
Shall I escort you to the snack table, Princess?
Summer Centianne
I'd love nothing more!
After that incident, men kept far away from me in case of making a fool of themselves just like Count Tielle did.
His grip was terribly strong.
I feel a bruise coming along on my arm.
The next time I see him, I'll give him a kick right where it hurts most!
I don't care if he comes from a family of powerful mages.
I'll show him how a lady deals with his sort of character.
