After thinking, Valen followed the maid's instructions to change her clothes and put a little makeup on her face.
A few minutes later, the engagement time began.
Hordes of Vampires from all over the city had arrived and filled the Hall. The sound of instrumental music with a slow tempo began to fill the room.
"Miss, forgive us because we can only deliver up here!". The servant said to Valen.
"It does not matter!". Valen replied.
After that, they left Valen alone at the door of the Hall.
Valen took a deep breath, luckily her disguise was not noticed by others.
After opening the door of the Hall, Valen met Chloe who had just finished delivering drinks.
"Valen... Where have you been?". Chloe asked who had been tired of looking for Valen.
Valen turned. "Chloe...".
"Why did you change your clothes? It looks like a very luxurious outfit. Where did you get it from?" Chloe asked when she noticed Valen's changed appearance.
Chloe was very scared if anyone suspected Valen's disguise.
Just then they were surprised by Joice who was suddenly near them.
"What are you guys doing here? Aren't you in charge of delivering drinks?".
"We...". Chloe had a hard time finishing her words because she didn't want to disappoint Joice.
"Don't talk too much! You'd better get going!". Joice said. After that, Joice immediately handed Chloe a tray of champagne without looking at Valen's appearance.
"Let me take it to the guests because I want to see the engagement ceremony up close," Valen said as she took the tray from Chloe's hand.
"But ...".
"I'll be fine! So, you take it easy!". Valen said reassuring Chloe.
"OK!". Chloe was forced to let Valen bring in the drink.
After taking a deep breath, Valen walked over to deliver the drinks to the guests.
Just then, Valen saw Elena and her friends. She also saw Lucia standing next to her parents. However, Justin was not among them.
"Where's Justin?"
Valen glanced in various directions to find Justin. But, she didn't see his reflection.
"Miss...".
Valen turned towards the source of the voice, "Would you like a drink?". Valen asked with her eyes falling down.
The offered man smiled with hidden meaning.
"Yes!".
"Here's your drink!" Valen said while serving the drink at the man's front table, her eyes didn't even dare to make eye contact with this man because she was afraid of being caught.
The man smirked, "Are you really a servant?".
Valen didn't dare to answer anything because she had expected that people would be surprised to see her with such a good appearance but being a servant. "Sorry! If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving!".
Just as Valen was about to take a step, her hand was pulled so that she fell into the man's arms.
Valen was surprised when she realized her body was in the man's arms.
"Let go of me!". Valen said while trying to escape.
"Not unless you want to sleep with me tonight!" The man replied with a mischievous look.
At this moment Valen clenched her fists in annoyance. However, once again she had to control her emotions.
"Attention please!". King Erick said firmly.
Everyone focused on King Erick, he stood tall with Artha. Then, where are his two sons who are supposed to accompany him tonight?
The man immediately let go of Valen and then focused on King Erick.
Valen quickly fixes her clothes and runs away from the man.
However, she again caused trouble by hitting another man so that the water in the glass she was holding fell directly on the man's shirt.
Noticing that his clothes were wet, the man's expression was hard to decipher.
Valen quickly said, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!".
"It's okay! So don't be afraid!". Said the man while cleaning the splash of water on his coat with a handkerchief.
"Once again I'm sorry!" Said Valen who felt very guilty.
The look in the man's eyes was cold. "Don't feel burdened by this!"
Feeling the man was good, Valen dared to raise her eyes. Instantly her eyes met the beauty of the man's eyes.
That gaze seemed to send a strong electric shock through Valen's body that made her soul float for a moment before returning to reality.
"Again, I am sorry!". After that Valen bowed to show her respect.
Unexpectedly, the man also bowed so that Valen was confused. It was the second time meeting someone so polite to her tonight.
Meanwhile, the situation at the party that was already bustling became quiet after hearing King Erick's voice.
"Thank you for coming to Prince Justin and Lucia's engagement ceremony. However, before the engagement ceremony begins, I would like to convey the news that my second son, Jack Chayton has returned. He will help Prince Justin to lead our nation!". King Erick said proudly because his three children were back together.
Some people are confused because they know that King Erick's second child is the nominated King. But, why would he actually help Justin? Does this mean Justin is the only one who deserves to be king?
Some of the guests looked very excited, especially the women.
Valen and the man looked at the same time looking at everyone who looked strong and excited.
"Wow... It turns out that the next King has been confirmed to be Prince Justin. But, why haven't Prince Justin and Prince Jack appeared yet? Are they having problems?". Elena asked confusedly.
Not finding the answer to her question, Elena chose to remain silent and then focused on King Erick.
"Waiter... Why are you shedding tears?". Ask the man who was with him.
Valen turned to the man with tears in her eyes, and the man spontaneously wiped the tears that fell on Valen's cheeks.
At that moment, the touch of the man's hand made Valen even more strange and nervous. She felt out of breath and almost fainted. However, a large palm immediately wrapped around her waist.
"It turns out that this man is Justin." Valen thought after she could clearly see that the one she had been soaking his shirt with and wiping her tears was Justin in disguise.
"Miss... Do you already know me?". Justin whispered who had known Valen from the start saw her.
Valen got goosebumps hearing Justin's whisper, and spontaneously she pressed Justin's arm and accidentally scratched Justin's hand with her fingernail.
Valen immediately released herself. However, her eyes widened when she realized what she had done. Spontaneously, Valen's hand reached out to help Justin treat the wound on his arm.
"Forgive me!". Valen said repeatedly after touching Justin's wound.
Valen's action made a man approach them.
"Stop apologizing! I'm not that weak!" Justin said while shrugging Valen's shoulders.
Reluctantly, Valen removed Justin's hand from her shoulder.
"I can't fall into the trap myself, I have to remember that I'm here for revenge, not to rebuild romance with Justin". Valen thought.
"I have to go!". Valen said.
However, just two steps Valen's hand was held by Justin. "Let's go with me from here! Because I don't want to be engaged!".
For the sake of launching the plan, Valen let Justin take her out of the hall.
"Prince Justin. Is that you?"
Hearing the voice, Justin and Valen who were already outside the Hall turned towards the source of the sound.
"Lucia...". Valen said with a complicated expression. Luckily Lucia still didn't recognize her.
Justin didn't say anything to Valen, instead, he looked back at Lucia who was standing not far from him.
"Aren't you the wrong person?". Justin asked with a cold expression.
Lucia took two steps to get closer to Justin.
"Prince Justin, I am your fiancée and I love you. So, how could I possibly recognize the wrong person?". Said Lucia with a sad look.
"What do you want?". Asked Justin who couldn't lie to Lucia anymore.
Actually, Lucia had been watching Justin ever since she collided with Valen. Out of curiosity, she followed Justin and Valen with the excuse of wanting to go to the bathroom.
Lucia took a deep breath. "I want the prince to continue our engagement so as not to embarrass our two families. If you run away, then you have insulted the King and my parents!".
Valen could only look down because she was worried that Lucia would recognize her. She wanted to run away but her legs were so stiff she couldn't move.. In addition, Justin's hand was still tightly gripped.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
