[Famous Books] Desire for control and arrogance

Alice has a sweet and attractive appearance, but there is a look of confidence and arrogance flowing between her eyebrows and eyes. The superposition of the two is extremely attractive.What's more, she was held by King Aldrich, so when she arrived at the entrance of the ball, she attracted everyone's attention and became the most eye-catching focus in the ball.

Aldrich was quite complacent that he had completely directed Alice's dress, and wished that everyone could see the relationship between Alice and him on the bright side, but when he suddenly saw those fierce eyes cast on Alice, he Unbearably uncomfortable.

No one reacted and wanted to go up to greet him and Alice, so he quickly took Alice to the high throne, with a cold face and gritted teeth the whole time, looking not to be trifled with.After both of them were seated, he looked around in silence, looked down at the familiar nobles, and then slowly introduced some anecdotes about the characters of the ball to Alice in a low voice.

As a king, he actually knows a lot of gossip about every family. At this moment, a dark desire surges in his heart inexplicably, and he really wants to tell Alice all the stupid things behind the back of those glamorous nobles. Come out, but he is not that kind of person, so he can only hold back and say some interesting things.

His so-called interesting stories were all the aristocratic life that Alice was more familiar with, and he didn't speak well, so Alice was very bored listening to them, and her attention was all on the dress and faces of those nobles.

After perfunctory Aldridge, she couldn't help but want to change the subject, and said: "I didn't expect your country to be rich in beauties, there are quite a lot of beauties, and there are more people who can dress up. In the past I’ve never heard of you guys having such a style.”

Aldridge's face turned dark immediately, he had already seen that Alice was not paying attention to his words, but he was used to it, so he could still bear it, but he couldn't bear to praise others for their good looks in front of him.

He thinks he looks good, and he dresses up carefully for a long time every time he appears on the stage. When Alice never praised him at all, now he is not stingy with others, and only criticizes him.

"Look at me." He said forcefully.

He was not satisfied until Alice looked at him inexplicably, and said a little aggrieved and complaining: "Look at me more, you will know that I can dress up better, and I look good. My countrymen follow me, Of course not too much."

Ever since he was able to lower his body and say "respect" Alice, he felt a little liberated. This time, he put his emotions in it and showed it more straightforwardly.

Of course, he had accumulated enough grievances, so he couldn't help venting a little bit. You know, this was his birthday party. He didn't expect to be so angry. How could he be convinced.

Alice didn't understand his resentment and sourness at all, she just felt that she was boasting normally, and he suddenly came to such a boast, which made her feel that he was too narcissistic.

She has always felt that he is too narcissistic and self-absorbed, otherwise she would not have used Bill's identity to whisper in her ear every day, but now she is so anxious to praise herself, she is speechless She wanted to stay away from him immediately, and hated him very much.

"You... are indeed not bad." She reluctantly replied.

If it weren't for the sake of his birthday, and the fact that she might ask for him in the future, she didn't even bother to go against her heart and agree with him.

He could see that she was so reluctant, but there was nothing he could do, so he took a few mouthfuls of the cool fruit in front of him angrily, chewed roughly and swallowed it quickly, trying to divert his attention.

He fell silent, and Alice didn't ask any more questions, and continued to focus on the dance floor.

This state of no dialogue lasted for a few minutes, and Aldrich couldn't stand it anymore. What's more, he couldn't stand it when he looked out of the corner of his eye and saw her admiring whoever was dancing on the dance floor with relish.

"I don't like dancing." In order to grab her attention, he said again, with strong negative emotions in his words, as if he had a story to tell.

Alice turned to look at him, aroused a little interest.

"I don't like dancing very much. I'm not very good at it, so I almost don't dance. This birthday, I didn't really want to make it a ball, but I heard that you like..." He looked at her deeply, while He breathed in while talking, and finally let out a long breath, he invited, "If you like, I can hold a dance party, or even more dance parties, can you dance with me?"

He didn't want to see her watching other people dance anymore. The light in her eyes should not be for others, but for him.

Even though he could do nothing about many of her actions and thoughts, he never stopped longing to have her completely.

That might not be the love she longed for, but it was the love he longed for that could not be suppressed in his heart.

He thought that Alice could save him face, but after he finished speaking, Alice looked away and said calmly: "I don't really want to dance now, so it's okay if you don't like dancing, I can accompany you , I don’t like it anymore.”

He was stunned.

He was a little happy, but soon discouraged, because reason told him that it was impossible for Alice to give up one of her favorite activities for him, so she said that there must be a reason why she didn't want to dance, and in this reason , he is not the reason.

"Why don't you like it?" He pursed his lips and asked.

"I haven't participated in it for a long time, and I don't have that feeling anymore. I liked it before, but it was because I was the focus of the most free and honorable ball in my country. Now you agree that I am a princess, but my father and king don't agree. So going to the prom has become meaningless." Alice said truthfully, with some embarrassment in her words, but she also meant to test Aldridge.

She was waiting for Aldridge to tell the truth at any time, but he still didn't say it now. In order to protect the tranquility of his birthday at this moment, he just frowned slightly and chose not to say it.

With him like this, Alice didn't even have the idea of ​​dancing with him, she lowered her eyebrows as if she didn't care about everything around her, and only slowly ate food with a fork.

The atmosphere between the two had become stagnant, and when Aldrich became more uncomfortable because of this, the more uncomfortable situation appeared, that is, his mother also came to the banquet.

The mother didn't look at him, so he was in a daze for a while before realizing that his mother had the audacity to show up at his birthday party with her eyes fixed on his beloved Alice.

He stood up involuntarily, and before his mother was about to walk towards the two of them, he only whispered to Alice "I have something to deal with, wait for me to get off", and then quickly walked towards his mother's direction , ready to block his queen mother who would spoil his good deeds.

Without any pause or hesitation, he quickly took the empress himself to a room with good sound insulation, and then he said coldly to the empress, "Why are you here?"

At this moment, there is no respect in his words, like an enemy who wants to get rid of the other party, not like a mother and son at all.
