Not only the onlookers, but also Ais herself was shocked.
She didn't expect that things would go so smoothly, and Celia recognized her as Miriel when she appeared.
Apart from being shocked, she was even more surprised.
Almost as soon as Celia appeared, she could not take her eyes away from him.
He is so dazzling, so noble and elegant.
He is simply the prince charming in every girl's dream.
But now this Prince Charming actually invited her to dance alone.
Aisi completely forgot about the potential dangers. She happily agreed to Celia's invitation, put her hand on his palm and walked with him into the middle of the dance floor that people had already given up.
The orchestral music became more exciting, and Ais was immersed in this ultimate dreamy romance.
Everyone is envious of this pair of wall figures. Even though they both wear masks that cover almost all their facial features, it still cannot hide their overly dazzling temperament and figures.
Only Bai Wu in the corner noticed something was wrong.
The purpose of this Celia is too clear.
Could it be that he had been observing in the dark for a long time before coming out to dance with Aisi?
But according to his temperament, shouldn't he test it a few times first?
Celia's progress was much faster than she expected, so Bai Wu had to put down the champagne in her hand, smooth her skirt and walk to the other end of the hall.
Compared to the excitement in the middle, this place is much more depressing.
Because Reske was discussing state affairs with a group of senior figures here.
Mei Lin was also accompanying her.
Seeing Bai Wu walking towards this side, she frowned in dissatisfaction.
"What's wrong? What are you doing here?"
Bai Wu lowered her head and saluted, then smiled sweetly and said: "Mom, I just think it's too boring to watch them dance alone, and I want you to accompany me."
"How old are you and do you still need someone to accompany you?" Mei Lin said slightly disgusted.
But Bai Wu knew that such seemingly harsh and old-fashioned words had always been Mei Lin's protective shell.
If you want to truly get into her heart, you have to ignore them.
So Bai Wu stepped forward and took Mei Lin's arm, leading her directly to the middle of the hall.
"Oh mother, it's so hard to come here. Why do you keep accompanying my father to participate in such a serious discussion? Why don't we dance together?"
Mei Lin gave her a helpless look, but Bai Wu seemed not to be afraid of her at all and just dragged her to the dance floor.
Reske looked at the two people's leaving figures, and a smile appeared on his lips unconsciously.
When the black-haired man on the side saw this scene, he smiled and joked: "The Duke's family atmosphere really makes me envious. I guess that is your little daughter Miriam, right?"
Reske was surprised: "Your Highness Anderson knows your daughter?"
Anderson's slender eyes curved up, and his deep magnetic voice was slow and long: "I was fortunate enough to witness my daughter's grace at the old Duke's birthday party, which is unforgettable."
Meilin squeezed into the noisy crowd, her limbs felt a little stiff for a moment.
She was used to keeping a straight back and abiding by etiquette, but she couldn't bear the carnival of these young people.
But just as she was about to exit, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a pair of wall figures dancing in each other's arms in the middle of the dance floor.
She didn't care about the man in fine clothes, but she had to care about the woman he was holding.
Her dazzling blonde hair and posture that danced to the beat made her extremely familiar.
But I dare not confirm it.
Bai Wu also squeezed over, deliberately followed Mei Lin's gaze and asked curiously: "Mother, what are you looking at?"
Then she whispered in surprise: "Oh my gosh, that beautiful lady looks just like my sister. If my sister hadn't been sick and stayed at home, I would have almost mistaken her for the wrong person."
Bai Wu's words made Mei Lin's heart sink completely.
In fact, she had doubts the moment she saw the person. The woman in the blue skirt looked too much like Ais.
But no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't believe that Aisi would openly challenge her authority and sneak out to attend the dance.
But the thing she least wanted to see happened.
Mei Lin was so angry that her body trembled slightly.
But just as she was about to step forward, Celia took off the ruby on her shoulder under the spotlight, then knelt down on one knee and looked at the woman opposite.
"Beautiful lady, please forgive me for my offense, but ever since we said goodbye that day, I have fallen in love with you uncontrollably."
"In order to have no regrets, can you please accept my overtures and become my only lover?"
The man's calm words were like a thunderbolt exploding in the plains, knocking everyone out of their minds.
Your Highness Celia is proposing to this mysterious woman?!
Could she be the woman he met by chance that day and even held today's dance for her?
Aisi was surprised and happy, and she covered her mouth in astonishment.
"Sir, Your Highness Celia, what are you talking about?"
"But, we haven't met a few times in total. Isn't this a bit too hasty? You may not even know who I am."
Celia stood up with a smile.
"Really? But you know my identity accurately, how can you think that I don't know your identity?"
Aisi was completely stunned until the man opposite took her hand, placed the ruby brooch in her palm, and said in a voice that only she could hear:
"Miss Rhodes, I have been paying attention to you for a long time. This brooch was given to me by my mother as a gift to the future crown princess. Now I am giving it to you. I hope you will not refuse."
The man's words were like the strings of a cello, flowing straight into the depths of Ais's heart.
Although she couldn't see clearly his appearance and expression, she knew that his eyes hidden under the mask must be full of affection.
But she was originally running for this position, and even if the other party was full of lies, she would admit it.
So Aisi shyly pinned the brooch to her clothes.
"How could I reject you, Your Highness? Just like you, I can't help myself from you."
The crowd burst into cheers, congratulating the happy couple.
But similarly, some respected seniors frowned dissatisfied with this.
They knew that His Highness Celia always had her own way, but it was outrageous to leave her marriage to an unknown woman.
It's a pity that His Majesty is seriously ill now. Otherwise, how could he be allowed to do such nonsense?
Mei Lin, who was already angry, couldn't hold it anymore when she saw this scene.
But just as she was about to step forward, her arm was suddenly pulled by someone.
When I looked back, it was Dane.
He did not wear a mask, but wore the knight's uniform that symbolized his identity and smiled and made a gesture of invitation to her.
"Mrs. Rhodes, Your Highness Celia asked me to bring you something, please move on."
