[Cinderella] Prince go away

What is it like to meet a man who was your lover in the previous life?

Cinderella, who had never thought of such a ridiculous thing, was facing such a situation at this moment.She stared blankly at the man's hand extended towards her, and after a moment of hesitation, she still chose to respond.

She stretched out her hand and put it on the other's hand. Although she had practiced at home before, Mrs. Rebecca and her tutor had taught her some, but this was Cinderella's first time attending a ball, and object...

It's still August who only met once.

Although she voluntarily chose to accept the memory from the "past", but now Cinderella doesn't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

The memory of her memory may help her avoid unnecessary harm - such as the real protagonist of the dance tonight; but the feelings of herself and other people in her memory are also affecting Cinderella's judgment.

Cinderella wasn't sure how she felt about the man in front of her leading her onto the dance floor.

The other party to her—maybe she to the other party is just a one-sided existence, but Cinderella can't help but compare the other party with the man who once recommended himself to her in memory.

But whenever a memory emerges, Cinderella will always try to think of something else to divert her attention, and then forget that memory again.

However, Cinderella's distraction still couldn't be hidden from the sharp-eyed Augus, who even noticed Cinderella's strangeness at the first time.

"You seem to have something on your mind, beautiful lady."

Even though it was so neutral, there was no trace of accusation in his tone, it was just as gentle as a joke between sympathizers.

The address of the other party reminded Cinderella that they still forgot to introduce themselves, but Cinderella did not take the initiative to mention this, because the words of the other party reminded Cinderella of the Duke of Augs in memory again.

She has been trying her best to avoid comparing the man in front of her with the man in her memory. After all, it is unfair to Augus. She cannot see him as that man, and she cannot even use the man in her memory to demand the man in front of her. .

However, the other party and the man in the memory are the same person after all. After hearing his intimate but not frivolous inquiry, Cinderella still lost her mind a little bit, but she quickly reacted, and then showed an apology to the other party. smile.

"Sorry, sir."

She looked into the other person's eyes and said slowly, "I just thought of something..."

Although the girl's voice was full of tension, there was no timidity or uneasiness at all, which made Augus feel inexplicably at ease—in his opinion, as long as the other party was not afraid of him, it would be fine.

After all, he didn't want Cinderella to feel afraid of him.

"Oh?"

He raised his eyebrows, and seemed to be quite interested in what Cinderella thought of, "If it's convenient, can I ask what it is?"

Is it convenient?

Cinderella felt that it was inconvenient.

After all, she can't tell the other party that you remind me of the fact that you recommended yourself to me in your "previous life", right?

Let's not talk about whether this will wipe out the favorability I have in the other party's heart, which may not exist at all. The most important thing is... If she said so, she might be treated as a lunatic and sent to the doctor for treatment.

"My mother..." After thinking for a while, Cinderella smiled at the other party with some embarrassment, "My mother and sisters and I got separated."

This word seems to have been heard somewhere.

Duke Augers thought.

Wait, the last time I saw this girl, she seemed to mean that her mother and sister were waiting for her, right?

Then she ran away without a trace...

Although Ogus didn't think that Cinderella's words were just an excuse—after all, he just took advantage of the opportunity of the other party looking around to bump into him on purpose. If Cinderella wasn't looking for someone, Ogus felt that he didn't have this opportunity.

but……

"Don't you hate me?"

The same reason was used in the two meetings, even though he knew it was not a lie, he still felt very hurt.

Cinderella was taken aback by August's pretended sadness, but she wasn't surprised by the appearance of the person opposite - after all, she had seen the other party pretending to be sad a lot in her memory.

And basically after rejecting his courtship, or even self-recommendation.

Whenever she felt that she might have really hurt the other party, he would smile treacherously, and then tell his flustered self that he was just acting.

As time goes by, the self in my memory doesn't know whether the other party is really sad or forced to smile.

But at that time, although she was moved by his love, she still had in her heart that His Royal Highness the prince who looked like a scumbag now, so she never accepted the other party's overtures until the end.

Now Cinderella feels that she probably still can't see through the other party's acting skills, but what surprised her even more is actually his words.

"Why do you say that?"

Cinderella, who was circling on the dance floor because of the lead of the other party, looked at him strangely.

Does she hate him?

Cinderella thinks the answer should be no.

It wasn't long before I accepted the memories from the past. If I really wanted to say that I hated it, I still had more of that sanctimonious prince. For the Duke of Augs...

She only has guilt that even she can't restrain.

"Because every time we met, you always said that you were looking for your family," August said with a helpless smile, "so I thought you didn't like getting along with me."

Eh, wait... Should she like to be with a strange man whom she has only met twice?

Cinderella felt that she couldn't understand the meaning of the other party, and even felt that this question was not easy to answer. After struggling for a while, she decided to answer in a more gentle sentence:

"That's because I really got separated from them."

Regardless of the intention of the other party, Cinderella felt that it was more important to state the facts first.

"My mother and sisters were very protective of me, and I was afraid that I would make them worry."

Augustus nodded knowingly, as long as Cinderella didn't deny it—although he felt that it was impossible to say "I hate you" in front of others with this girl's temper, but if she was denied , he will still feel particularly sad.

"Do you need me to accompany you to find it?"

Augustus thought for a while, and felt that the tone made Cinderella leave alone, so it would be better to stay with her.

Although the prince is the main character in tonight's ball, it doesn't mean that there are no other marriageable men here—for example, he and other single nobles.

Augustus was very worried that if he let go of Cinderella tonight, she might just leave him, or even disappear.

——Just like in the memory he got, completely disappeared in his own life.

"This..." Cinderella felt a little embarrassed.

It's not that she refuses to get along with Augus. Compared with other people, she has a higher degree of affection for Augus, but she only met twice with him, and she doesn't even know the name of the other party Men go to their families...

She always felt a little weird.

It's just that Cinderella's entanglement didn't last too long, because when she was about to decline the other party's kindness when she was taken away from the dance floor by Augus, a voice suddenly came in, interrupting Cinderella's unspoken words.

"Long time no see, Duke of Cheltenham."

A familiar voice sounded in the ears of the two, and Cinderella and Augus looked towards the source of the sound at the same time, and then saw the existence that neither of them wanted to see at this time.

The protagonist of tonight's dance was walking towards them slowly with a smile on his face. Although he was greeting Augus, his eyes were glued to Cinderella.

Cinderella felt that her breath was suffocating, and then she subconsciously took a step back, hiding half of her body behind Augus.

Augus certainly noticed Cinderella's strangeness. Although he didn't know what Cinderella was afraid of—or why she was afraid of the other party, he still took a step forward and stood in front of Cinderella.

"Long time no see, Your Royal Highness."
