Jenkins didn't intend to kill, as he said, this kind of thing is not enough to kill. But it is still necessary to investigate the background and motives of Viscount Viktorm, who is now being kicked out by the guards. Although it seems that it is just a mutual provocation among the heirs to the throne, there may be other reasons.
He didn't wonder why Viktorm suddenly fell and made a big mess, because Jenkins thought it was Alexia's trick. Coincidentally, Alexia also thought it was Jenkins' trick.
"I remember that Miss Windsor seemed to mention that the surname Viktorm is related to the surname of Queen Isabella's mother's family."
Jenkins pondered, then looked to Alexia aside:
"It's a disappointment, but it can't affect our mood. Let's dance again. I think Miss Windsor and the Stuarts are coming soon."
The little commotion at the door did not prevent the band from playing elegant dance music again. Jenkins rarely danced alone with Alexia, so he didn't want to waste time.
"Let's do it again, but honestly Jenkins, you're so stiff when you dance and you keep looking down at my shoes, it sucks."
The short lady had a beautiful smile, she complained softly.
The second song is relatively short, and there is still a lot of time left after dancing this song. Jenkins wanted to do it again, but before asking Alexia's opinion, he saw a woman in a black and white dress The brunette walked towards the two of them.
She is taller than Alexia, and she has a fish-shaped hairpin in her hair. This is a rare style, but it suits the cute temperament of this young girl.
"May I ask you to dance, sir? I like your book very much."
The black-haired girl asked actively, her voice was lively and powerful, and even a little playful. Her big, beautiful eyes blinked at Jenkins, and she had a very sweet smile on her face. The brunette looked familiar, as if she knew Jenkins and Alexia very well.
Jenkins was taken aback by the sudden invitation, while Alexia turned her head and looked in the direction of the sofa without any hesitation. She froze, then turned around, looked at the girl in the black and white gauze dress in front of her with a strange expression, then looked at Jenkins, and then at the girl.
"Sorry, I have my own dance partner."
Although this girl did the same thing as Viscount Viktorm just now, she didn't have any malicious intentions, so Jenkins softened his tone.
"Only one dance!"
The black-haired girl stretched out her finger and looked at Alexia with her big beautiful eyes blinking. Although she didn't speak, the meaning was self-evident.
"this… "
Alexia had never encountered such a thing before, she thought for a while, and let go of Jenkins' hand:
"Okay, but I'll watch from the sidelines."
Jenkins looked at the short lady in surprise, who shrugged and looked the dark-haired girl up and down:
"Only this time."
Alexia didn't sound like she was talking angry, but she seemed to have encountered something of great interest.
"Of course, only this time."
The black-haired girl said excitedly, then ignored Alexia and reached out to grab Jenkins.
"Sorry, I have my own female companion."
He respected his girls, and besides, Alexia just rejected young Viktorm. For whatever reason, Jenkins could not dance with this girl, otherwise Jenkins would appear very mean and double-standard.
"I've already given my permission. If you only dance with me at today's dance, others will make fun of Dolores."
Alexia offered an unreasonable explanation, and then gave Jenkins a really hard push. Seeing this, the brunette girl took Jenkins' hand again. Jenkins looked at the short lady suspiciously, and was dragged into the dancing crowd by the brunette girl.
The girl is quite flexible and very good at dancing. Even if she dances with Jenkins who is absent-minded, she can also drive Jenkins to perform normally.
Alexia, who was standing on the edge of the crowd, watched the two dance and asked for a glass of champagne from the waiter carrying the tray:
"I never thought that the man I fancy would..."
She said in a low voice, and took a gulp of wine to suppress her shock. Like Jenkins, Alexia seldom drank, so she was able to show her mood at this time.
Holding the cup and hugging her chest, she blinked, a series of runes flashed in front of her eyes, and then the world reflected in her eyes showed a slightly different appearance from normal. It's just that in this different world, Jenkins and the girl with black hair and black and white gauze dress still maintain their original postures and look normal.
"Audrey said before that I will be entangled with a cat in my life. I thought it was a curse related to cats, but I didn't expect..."
She thought to herself, and then saw Jenkins being wrapped around the neck by the brunette girl who was smiling happily.
Soon after the song ended, the strange girl let go of Jenkins' hand, and soon disappeared into the crowd, without even giving Jenkins a chance to ask questions. Jenkins still looked puzzled, he walked back to Alexia, and said without asking the short lady:
"Have I met her before? She strikes me as very familiar. Yes, very very familiar..."
The short lady kept her mouth shut and turned her head away from him with the wine glass in one hand, which made Jenkins even more puzzled.
Next, prepare to welcome Miss Windsor and the Stuarts. Miss Windsor arrived earlier, and she was a little surprised to see Jenkins waiting for her in the courtyard. After knowing that it was Queen Isabella's request, she was a little disappointed .
Because of the cooperation, Miss Windsor knows Alexia, so the two parties don't need to introduce themselves. Miss Windsor also tentatively asked if Hathaway and Britney were here, and she seemed relieved after getting a negative answer.
Miss Windsor didn't have a male companion, so after seeing Jenkins and Alexia, she stood with them. The three of them talked about the recent situation in Beldyran, and then avoided others, and communicated about the meeting with the army chief this afternoon.
Things were going well, and Jenkins-Williamette's reputation as a legitimate descendant of the royal family made things a lot easier. After all, Jenkins is not usurping the throne, but wants to get back the "ancestral power". He is a positive figure, standing on the side of morality.
Because of Jenkins' status as a descendant of the royal family, the original supporters of Miss Windsor, although they have opinions on Miss Windsor's abandoning the throne and supporting Jenkins, they are not unacceptable. Most people are making political investments, and what they care about is the prospects and expected benefits of the investment, rather than which part of the content they actually invested in.
PS: I don't need to say who is that dancer...
Another: As of 9 o'clock this morning, the reward is just enough, and more will be added on the 18th.
