Roses blooming in the heart

As the night draws to a close, a golden, exquisite crystal lamp hangs in the magnificent ballroom. The slightly trembling tassels on the lamp reflect a strange and charming light.

The low-hanging velvet blue curtains give people a sense of trance, making everyone present feel like they are in a fantasy dream.

When the soothing and beautiful music slowly played, the beautiful and elegant lady and lady who had been invited began to dance with the gentleman who had been selected in advance in the dim and gentle light.

Singing and dancing, the fragrance fills the air.

Louis walked up to Elena, leaned over and performed an elegant and decent courtesy, then stretched out his hand to Elena and invited:

"Your Highness, I wonder if I would be honored to ask you to dance the first dance tonight?"

Tonight, Louise was dressed up for the trip, her posture was elegant, and her every smile touched her heart. Even the lights at the ball seemed to be specially prepared for her, adding more charming colors to her.

If the young ladies and young men present didn't know that this was the person that the princess liked, Louis would never have thought of spending this night quietly.

"can."

Elena put her hand on Louis' palm and accepted the invitation to dance. However, when she got close, she still couldn't help but whisper in Louis' ear: "Tonight you look like a girl with your tail open." Peacock, is the lady you like here?"

The moment she got closer, Elena couldn't help but hold her breath. The rich fragrance rushed straight into her nose, almost making her faint on the spot.

"Oh my god, how much perfume have you sprayed?" Elena looked at Louis, her eyes full of suspicion and surprise, and said, "Are you trying to stun the lady you like and take her away? "

"..."

Louis originally wanted to continue talking in a funny way, but Elena looked at her with doubts in her eyes, as if she was really thinking seriously about the possibility of her doing this. Louis simply fell silent, and finally looked at Elena waited for a long time before saying anything until the music started and the two of them danced to the music.

"You're overthinking it. I don't wear much perfume. It's just that this smell is stronger, and you don't like the smell." After saying that, after receiving Elena's disbelieving look, Louis could only continue to explain. Said: "This is not enough to stun people. I promise you with my personality that I will never do such a thing. Please believe me."

Elena originally wanted to say that I don't believe it, but Louis looked at her with condemnation and "stop playing" in her eyes. Elena didn't want to tease Louis anymore and nodded. I believed it myself.

It’s just that when she dances, Louise really looks like a peacock spreading its wings to court a mate. It’s just like writing on her face that I am the most attractive person at the whole dance. Come and see me. That flamboyant and wanton dance posture, ordinary people But I can't keep up.

Elena can keep up with Louis' dance steps, but she doesn't like it.

After the dance ended, Elena grabbed Louis, who wanted to dance again, and wanted to forcefully pull Louis out of the dance floor, but Louis took her deeper into the dance floor.

"you!"

Just as Elena was about to speak, Louis put a finger to her lips.

"Your Highness, it's your turn to cooperate with me now," Louis whispered to Elena, with a proud smile on his face, and at the same time motioned Elena to follow her gaze and said: "My My sweetheart is here, please help me make her jealous again, I feel like I can do it soon."

When she met Marlene the day before yesterday, she could feel that underneath that cold appearance were emotions that could barely be concealed.

Louis believed that if she gave her a few more days to stimulate Marlene, her favorite lady would give her the exact answer she wanted.

Abandon those ridiculous elements and face your deepest feelings.

Elena followed Louis' line of sight and saw a woman wearing a simple white dress standing by the window, glancing at them from time to time.

The same person in the photo that Cosette gave her.

It looks better in person than in the photos.

Elena took a few glances and then withdrew her gaze, and then took a closer look at Louis, who was dancing with her in front of her.

...Forget it, as long as she doesn't speak, Louise is still a rare beauty, and she looks very formal and not carefree.

Perhaps noticing Elena's gaze, Louis took advantage of Elena's lack of attention and took Elena's belt and turned her around.

"what."

Elena gave a small scream, but quickly reacted and followed the dance steps that were disrupted by Louis.

"what are you doing?"

Elena raised her eyes and asked Louis.

"I am your dance partner, you should look at me."

Louis raised his eyebrows and looked at Elena, his expression even a little aggrieved.

Elena didn't make any response to this, she danced with Louis silently, and then stepped on Louis's foot impartially.

"Okay, my dance partner, I will always be watching you."

Elena said unclearly.

Louis, who was deflated but could only smile, said: "Okay, thank you, Your Highness." But after saying that, he took Elena around a few more times, and then suddenly leaned back with Elena's waist, Successfully made Elena perform a difficult move, which looks very beautiful to outsiders.

"Okay, okay, that's very kind of you."

Elena watched Louis smile and began to fight for the right to lead the dance between the two.

"Don't even think about having an easy time tonight!"

Elena looked at Louis, stepped on Louis's foot again accurately, then let go of the hand held by Louis and left to step on the rhythm, turning around alone.

"Your Highness!"

The two people's desire to win was aroused, and they danced several dances in a row, one after another, and fought heartily on the dance floor. However, in the eyes of others, these actions turned into a deep relationship between the two. Even dancing is hard to break away from.

Marlene stood alone by the window in a place with few people and watched. Louise on the dance floor made her unable to take her eyes away tonight.

She and the princess are such a perfect match. She always smiles so tenderly and happily when she looks at the princess. She frowns when she doesn't want to face me. I always make Louis unhappy.

Louise and the princess are suitable to be together. Louise has found the person who is most suitable for her. Whether it is career, personality or other aspects, they are such a perfect match, but why do I feel bad?

The pain in her heart made Marlene look a little pale.

Maybe I should go, this isn't the place for me.

Marlene turned to leave, but was stopped by the daughter brought by her stepmother.

"Sister, the dance has just started, why are you leaving?"

The girl looks pretty and lovely, but the words she speaks are hard to hear.

"Is it because Major General Terry is no longer obsessed with you and you are unhappy?" The girl looked at Marin, raised her hand to cover her proud smile, and said, "This is normal, who makes you always With such a noble look, no one can stand you."

Marlene raised her hand to cover her heart. The dull pain made her whole body feel uncomfortable. She wanted to go back to her laboratory immediately, but when she looked up, she saw Louis kissing Elena's forehead.
