Chapter 44 The answer that didn't come to mind

The hall was gorgeously decorated, and I must say Ambow had good taste. The king sat in the center of a long, large table, the queen and I sat on either side of him, and Willian sat beside me.
The king introduced me to Willian, "Willian, you may not know, this is the queen's sister, before studying abroad, so you have never known, this time she is back, the queen wants to bring her to meet you, if you don't mind, let her sit next to you!"
"Of course, Your Majesty, I wonder what to call her?" Willian's attitude was good, it was the kind of humility that should be expected in the presence of great power, and I had never seen him like that before.
"My name is Evelynn, and Lord Willian can call me Miss Evelynn." I looked at him with a smile, trying my best to appear gentle and cheerful.
"Yes, Miss Evelynn, it would be my pleasure to have dinner with you."
"Willian, I've heard my sister say that Willian is handsome and wanted me to meet with you, but when I saw you today, I couldn't forget it!"
My words made Willian silent, he looked at me for a long time, could not say anything, just then Ambow led the maid to serve, she stood next to me, I could very clearly feel the shock when she saw my face, her body was trembling, I could even hear her heartbeat, but she controlled it well and did not show any inappropriate behavior.
I smiled at her, her face turned a little white, I turned around and started to taste the dishes on the table, the first time I saw Ambow, I could not lose the opportunity to shock her.
The banquet began with a symphony and Willian toasted the king, queen, and me.
"Willian, you communicate more with Evelynn, I heard your Luna died, it would be great if you could fall in love with Evelynn!" The queen recommended me to Willian with great enthusiasm, which was certainly a part of our plan, and the queen's words were more intimidating than mine.
"Your honorable queen, please don't joke, I was sad when my previous Luna died unexpectedly, but now my new Luna is Miss Ambow next to you, so I have Luna now." Willian defended Ambow, I don't know what happened, my heart had some pain, a thought suddenly came to my brain, if his Luna was Gina at this time, what would he say?
"Your Majesty the Queen, thank you for your introduction, I would love to talk to Miss Evelynn, it would be an honor to be in her good graces!" Maybe Willian would say that because he never took the person I once was to heart.
The queen glanced at Ambow, who, with a smile, bowed to her, but the queen did not indicate anything and said directly to me, "My dear, there is no way, you are late, but of course, if you want to stay here for the tour, I have no reason to stop you."
"Oh! Really? Dear, sister! That's great!" I acted so happily and I think I must have had a big smile on my face at that moment. I turned to look at Willian and said, "Brother Willian, can I play at your place for a while? I like the environment here, can you take me on a tour in your free time?"
Willian looked around the room, and I knew he was asking me whether to accept my request or not. The king and queen's words obviously could not be refused, but Ambow's mood needed to be taken care of, and I looked forward to his reaction as if I were waiting for the jackpot to be drawn. responsibility. If you want, I can be your tour guide in the future."
"Thank you so much! God will bless you, Brother Willian!" With this response, I was satisfied that I had won at least a brief victory in my first secret duel with Ambow, and I pretended to be excited as I hugged Willian and left a kiss on his cheek.
This is a technique that the Queen taught me, and she told me that no man would not be attracted to me in this way.
When I saw the faint red on Willian's face, I knew that the queen's method had worked! Although Willian did not confess his love to me, at least he did not explicitly reject me, even if he had to say yes due to the pressure of the king and queen, but this is still a rare opportunity for me, and all I have to do is to grasp this opportunity tightly.
Subsequently, I talked to Willian many times throughout the party. I tried to find a topic, but Willian seemed to be suppressing herself, but I wouldn't give up easily.
After the banquet, the ball began.
I behaved animatedly and at the ball, the eyes of all the ministers of the Red Night were focused on me, but I would not feel shy, the training of the first few days had served me well.
I followed the king and queen to toast and ate dessert around the dessert table. The queen told me that beautiful, gentle, and lovely girls like to eat dessert, but they also control the quantity to prevent themselves from getting fat, so during the first few days of training, I changed my habit of not liking dessert all the time.
Young men would ask me to dance, and of course, I would not refuse, and this is the way the queen told me, she said that when a man sees you being welcomed by many men, he will develop a desire to win, or simply put, become unpleasant inside, and when he has the opportunity to spend time with you, he will want to have you even more.
After I had a few dances with the men, I walked towards Willian.
His eyes kept moving with me, I let him admire everything about me, slowly walked towards him, leaned down to his ear, and whispered, "Brother Willian, can you dance with me?"
Willian did not answer but looked at Ambow next to him, she did not say anything, and directly stood up and said to me: "Dear Miss Evelynn, I think it is a little inappropriate for you to invite Willian to dance, at such a grand ball, there are many young and handsome men who are waiting to dance with you, Willian is the man who owns Luna, and as the king who loves his lady very much, he would certainly feel unhappy if he saw you dancing with Willian!"
I surveyed Ambow, at this time I could not be angry, the queen told me that the woman who loves to pamper will be loved by men.
I puckered up my mouth and my face showed aggression as I looked at Willian with tears in my eyes.
"Brother Willian, even if there are many men who want to dance with me, but my heart is only for you! Such enthusiasm, you are willing to refuse me?" I said as I took Willian's hand.
Willian stood up and said to Ambow, "No matter, my dear, Miss Evelynn is the queen's sister, her request is equivalent to the queen's order, we can't refuse, but you have to believe that you are my Luna."
Willian took my hand and walked to the dance floor. I looked to the musicians who played the music and they already understood what I meant. The queen had just sent someone to tell the musicians to play music for us alone when they saw Willian and me walking to the dance floor together.
The dynamic music just now suddenly stopped, and beautiful and moody music played. This music was the music from my appointment ceremony, and I saw Willian's body paused for a moment, I think he must be familiar with this music! Will he think of Gina, will he think of the scene of that day?
But it didn't matter to me anymore, I raised my chin and showed off my dance moves, and enjoyed the admiration of the people around me. I took Willian's hand and danced beside him. I looked at Ambow's very angry but helpless eyes and my heart was filled with the pleasure of revenge.
I remembered the way Ambow provoked me that day when he raised his eyebrows at me, and my heart grew even angrier as I moved closer to Willian, approaching him with my body, my face pressed against his chest, and I saw his eyes looking up at me, and I didn't make a point of meeting his eyes, but did my best to show off my body, and I could feel Willian's heart beating faster.
I looked at Willian with a teasing tone and said, "Brother Willian, your heart is beating so fast! Are you a little nervous?"
With my arms around Willian's waist, my ear pressed against his chest, and my legs still dancing, the slight bump brought my body into intimate contact with his.
"I'm sorry, Miss Evelynn, maybe I wasn't ready for this, because you look so much like the Luna I used to have, I see you and I think of her."
"Yes? So do you love her?" I tilted my head back up and looked at him as I allowed myself to become more attentive in listening.
"I'm so sorry that I lost her, because of something, and then I've been feeling uneasy, I was always expecting her to come back, but ......"
I didn't expect Willian to say that. He had never loved me all this time, so why would he think that? He was expecting me back, was he in love with me? I kept telling myself in my mind that it was impossible! But the anticipation inside prompted me to ask Willian, "So, do you love her?"
Willian looked into my eyes very seriously, I could not see the hesitation in his eyes, which shocked me, why was it different from what I thought?
Our pace was moving, dancing to the music, but at this point, my heart seemed to stop beating, I held my breath and waited for his answer, I didn't think I would care about his answer anymore, but I seem to have overestimated myself a bit!
"Gina, I ...... I don't know how to face you, at least ...... The least I can be sure of is that I love you."
Hearing this answer I admit I have been shaken, I don't know why I suddenly thought of the scene when we first met, did he love me? I couldn't say, I saw Ambow leave her seat, her back was so forlorn, her look brought me back to my senses again.
Nope! Maybe it's just an illusion because Willian is dealing with someone who isn't Gina, I can't be fooled by his appearance again! I laughed out loud, the whole hall echoed my voice, Willian seemed to come back to his senses, he looked at me with some blurred consciousness, his eyes were lost.
"Brother Willian, you're mistaken! I'm Evelynn! Not your Luna!" I reminded him kindly.
He held my hand tightly, smiled, and said, "Oh! Yes, I'm sorry, Miss Evelynn."
The conversation just now seemed to have made him understand something, or let go of something, and he became in a better mood because I could feel his dance steps lighten up, but I wasn't sure of the real reason. The change in him puzzled me as I moved with him, dancing recklessly down the hall.
We danced from south to north, from the crowd to the center of the hall, the music sometimes upbeat and elegant, and our steps became sometimes fast, sometimes slow.
I've never had an experience like this before, it makes me feel so happy! This joy drives me to give up such complex and unintelligible phenomena, and I want to experience this moment to the fullest, a moment of joy that belongs to me!
We ignored all the changes around us but were immersed in each other's dance steps, surrounded only by each other's smell, with only the one opposite in our eyes, and I was thinking how great it would be if we were like this from the very beginning!
