40.

 

Siena wasn’t the only one who realized the danger.

 

The employees were also pale, looking back and forth between Violet and Castillian.

 

Siena, who had been breathing heavily with a flustered face, suddenly clenched her fist.

 

“No…, no.”

 

Don’t give up already.

 

‘We haven’t done anything yet.’

 

We somehow made it into the Imperial Palace…, we can’t give up like this.

 

‘Lian worked hard despite being sick, so we should try our best too.’

 

That’s when it happened.

 

The music the orchestra was playing changed to a waltz.

 

“Oh my, it must finally be time.”

 

“I wonder what couples will be born today…”

 

The moment called the flower of the ball had arrived.

 

Siena observed Castillian.

 

‘He shows no sign of getting up.’

 

Usually, the person with the highest status would start the dancing.

 

But Castillian seemed to have no intention of doing so.

 

‘Then the lead in dancing would go to the nobles…’

 

Just then, several men moving stealthily came into view.

 

“The Northern Princes…”

 

They were the male leads.

 

Up to this point, there was no problem.

 

They too would want to ask a woman they liked to dance through this ball and develop their relationship.

 

However, the problem was that their target was all Violet.

 

‘No way…!’

 

It was truly an emergency.

 

‘I was so focused on thinking about Castillian that I didn’t consider there would be other competitors.’

 

Siena quickly activated her staccato speech.

 

“Everyone, emergency. The Northern, Princes are, targeting, Violet.”

 

Isadora responded.

 

“Yes, we, know. It seems, we need to, change our, strategy.”

 

“Right now, things absolutely, cannot go, according to, the script.”

 

Finn also added.

 

Siena flapped both hands and poked at the air.

 

“Push Violet, subtly toward, the Marquis, Beloster. Execute.”

 

Then Heaven was shocked.

 

“Center Director, do you, hate us?”

 

“If we carelessly, body check, we’ll be, arrested.”

 

Isadora also frowned.

 

Siena rolled her eyes toward the ceiling as if dumbfounded.

 

“What are you, saying.”

 

“…”

 

“I’m not telling you, to push with, your shoulders, but to lure her, toward the Marquis, at your discretion.”

 

She pointed to her shoulder and tilted her head to the right.

 

Only then did the employees’ expressions relax.

 

“Understood.”

 

“Ah. I thought the Center Director, hated us.”

 

“Enough. Quickly, execute.”

 

Siena and the employees exchanged final thumbs-up signals.

 

The first to start moving was Isadora.

 

She took a tray with caprese and headed straight for Violet.

 

Then she blocked Violet’s view and asked.

 

“Would you like some?”

 

The so-called ‘path blocking.’

 

It was to prevent the approaching Northern Princes from seeing her.

 

Violet, who met those eerie eyes, shrank her shoulders.

 

“Ah…, no. I’m fine.”

 

“Then would you like some wine?”

 

“That too…”

 

“If not wine, how about some juice?”

 

Isadora kept spouting random words without pause, afraid of losing Violet.

 

While she was buying time, Finn and Heaven got started.

 

“Dora is keeping, Violet busy, so let’s use, this chance to, bring in, the Marquis.”

 

“Okay.”

 

They stretched their long legs and strode across the banquet hall.

 

But then it happened.

 

Thud thud thud thud thud.

 

Suddenly, vibrations were felt in the ground.

 

Finn and Heaven stopped in their tracks.

 

“…Is it an earthquake?”

 

Their confusion was brief, as they quickly realized.

 

It wasn’t an earthquake.

 

It was… the sound of footsteps created by countless women.

 

“I couldn’t see The Prince while attending the Academy, but to see him here!”

 

“I will definitely catch The Prince’s eye and dance with him!”

 

The noble ladies targeting Castillian began swarming toward the Nobility Seating Area.

 

It was no different from the sight of buffalo herds moving in the Serengeti.

 

The women instantly took control of the center of the ballroom, separating Violet and Johan.

 

Siena gasped.

 

“Damn…!”

 

At this rate, Violet wouldn’t even know Johan was here.

 

She hurriedly sent signals.

 

“Everyone, stop them! Marquis Beloster, and Violet, are getting, separated!”

 

“Yes!”

 

The employees who received orders rushed into the scene.

 

Isadora went to Violet, Finn and Heaven to Johan.

 

They tried to protect their clients even if it meant throwing their bodies.

 

But… it was hopeless.

 

“Kyaaah, The Prince!”

 

“Get out of the way. I’m going first!”

 

“What are you saying…! I’m the one who will dance with The Prince!”

 

They were no match for the buffalo herd that had gone crazy for Castillian.

 

Siena gritted her teeth.

 

‘This won’t work.’

 

She had no choice but to grab her dress hem tightly and charge into the scene of the great migration.

 

“Ugh…!”

 

Siena screamed as she collided with some woman.

 

After that, she was shoulder-checked countless times and had her feet stepped on.

 

It was a scene reminiscent of Myeongdong street at Christmas.

 

‘No, what is this, some kind of Castillian time sale going on right now…’

 

Why is everyone suddenly going crazy!

 

It seemed like some kind of ballroom betting game had started without Siena and the staff knowing.

 

Pushing through the crowd, Siena finally spotted Johan.

 

“Marquis!”

 

Johan turned to look at her.

 

Siena quickly grabbed his wrist.

 

“There’s an emergency situation right now so we can’t follow the script. Just follow me…!”

 

“Ah…, yes!”

 

Holding Johan firmly, she pushed through the women again like cutting through water.

 

Johan stared blankly at her small shoulders.

 

‘Center Director… I didn’t know she was so bold and spirited.’

 

She’s not just leaving it to the staff, but personally taking care of me.

 

His attention focused on his wrist caught in her slender grip.

 

What this feeling I’m experiencing right now is, I still don’t quite know.

 

“Kyaa! The Prince!”

 

“Your Highness, Your Highness…!”

 

How long had they been swimming through like that.

 

Siena spotted brown hair with a purple hairpin.

 

‘It’s Violet!’

 

They were almost there now.

 

She just needed to push Johan toward Violet.

 

Siena said.

 

“Marquis, Violet is nearby. I’ll move you over there, so naturally protect Violet while escaping…”

 

That’s when it happened.

 

“Ahhh, get out of the way!”

 

Someone pushed her back as if crushing it.

 

Having endured all kinds of humiliation to get this far, this was beyond what she could bear.

 

“Ah!”

 

Staggering, Siena unconsciously grabbed Violet’s wrist as she fell.

 

“Ugh…”

 

Siena, who had reflexively closed her eyes, slowly opened them.

 

‘It hurts so much…’

 

Her leg was numb from hitting her knee when she fell, and her foot that scraped the floor was swollen red.

 

Meanwhile, Violet, who had also staggered, didn’t fall.

 

“Are you alright?”

 

Because Johan had approached in time to support her waist.

 

The women who had been crowded in the center of the ballroom had now retreated to the sides, leaving Violet and Johan behind.

 

“Oh my, Marquis Beloster…”

 

Feeling people’s gazes, Violet blushed.

 

“Ah, yes… Thank you, Marquis. I’m fine.”

 

But Johan didn’t respond at all.

 

Instead, he immediately turned his gaze.

 

To Siena, who was still fallen.

 

Siena’s eyes widened.

 

‘What are you doing, Johan?’

 

You should keep talking to Violet, what are you doing looking at me.

 

‘You should be showing concern and going out to the terrace together, or asking her to dance.’

 

However, Johan was frozen.

 

With an uncharacteristically uncomfortable and displeased expression.

 

After staring at Siena for a while, Johan slowly opened his mouth.

 

“…Excuse me, Miss Bringer. I must take my leave.”

 

Releasing Violet, he placed his hand on his chest and bowed his head.

 

Then he turned toward Siena.

 

‘Johan… you’re not coming to me, are you?’

 

Are you really crazy?

 

‘No matter how kind a person you are, you’re going to kick away an opportunity that rolled right to you like this?’

 

That’s when it happened.

 

Suddenly the atmosphere in the banquet hall became even more chaotic.

 

“…Huh?”

 

“His Highness is…”

 

Through the murmuring of the nobles, the sound of footsteps could be faintly heard.

 

Siena turned her head.

 

The nobles surrounding Johan, Violet, and herself had somehow parted like the miracle of the Red Sea.

 

And in the middle of that path.

 

‘…Huh?’

 

Castillian was walking toward them.
