Chapter 173
Unexpected Sight
Everyone lowers their heads naturally .
Of course, I also lowered my head according to the surroundings .
Princess Elle and Ed, with Mr . Wang . . . apparently the king and the first Prince seem to be absent this time .
Then, following Ed, Yuri appeared by his hand .
Looking at that sight, "Why are you there!" I was screaming in my head . . I raised my head by the surprise .
Yuri is Ed's fiance . . . Yet she is still a fiance .
Although in the future she will be a part of the royal family as his wife, as long as she is not married, it is impossible for them to appear together from the back as royalty at these official events .
If I borrowed a word from my mother, "Before and after the marriage are two things . "
Princess Elle has also been in the position of a fiance for many years, so she should know better than any other the manners and conduct as a fiance, we naturally know it as noblemen but she had the royalty course . She must know what they are doing is not something allowed .
Still . . . Yuri grabbed Princess Elle heart as much as she allowed her to appear together .
More than anything, Yuri grabbed the hearts of all the nobility .
. . . Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Princess Elle to let her appear together .
. . . . . . I do not know how inside the royal court it would work what she did but if I think she is capable enough to establish a position in society so that she can force her way into the royal family and appear here like this, my spine is frozen only to have thought about it . . . I really wish this is not something premeditated .
Her dress is an ivory color with a large ribbon on the chest . Likewise, the ribbon was also attached to the arm, and a delicate bow was wrapped many times around the skirt .

The dress she was wearing was to bring out her cuteness, but now it seemed that a sparkle of royalty was added there .
The royal people sat on their dedicated luxurious chair .
And again, the musicians begin playing .
Then, the children who social debut is today appeared one after another . The customs for the debut is different according to the country, and the form of such entries differ completely .
In Tasmeria country, children who make their debut during the day greet each other during the party and not at the door, or before the party starts .
And in the evening, they will show off to the many members of the aristocracy in this way .
They appear, the boys have the right hand on the chest, and the girls have flowers in the head .
It is a light pink flower like I have seen in Japan .
I do not know if the flower language still remains the same, but Sakura's flower language is "proud" . . . I wonder if it is proud from the meaning of nobility .
In addition, the girls wore a simple white dress and the boys wore a black standard suit .
The boys line up in the center of the hall while escorting the girls that are their partners .
. . . and they started dancing .
When they finish dancing, the people watching start to applaud .
. . . From this point on, it's a normal ball . I also danced with Bern and several others, and with the people who I know are in the neutral faction .
After dancing several songs, I return to the wall again for a break .
With champagne in hand, I was looking at the scene of the ball .
Bern, who came back at the same time, stands next to me .
Suddenly Ed and Yuri appeared in sight . Apparently, they seem to have been dancing .
They danced many songs without changing partners .
Near them, a couple composed of Mimosa and Dan is also dancing .

I was fascinated by her dancing while also feeling loneliness as my friend Mimosa will go far away .
"…Sister"
I was brought back to earth thanks to Bern that called me from the side and I turned to see him .
What happened to his hard usual tone of voice? I thought about asking, but as soon as I saw his line of sight I understood it .
As the song changed, Yuri and Ed somehow were getting closer .
I did not want to came in contact with them, I looked around to see if there was someone I could go to talk to, but my close friends were happy dancing and were also nearby anyway so I would have bumped into Ed and Yuri even if I went there .
Meanwhile, she seems to have aimed the perfect time to came for me, she is approaching straight to us while smiling and looking at my eyes .
In that situation, I will not be able to escape even if I started talking to other people .
I gave up, took a deep breath and stared at her straight .
Yuri and Ed are now very close and they seemed to pay attention to our every action .
"Long time no see, Iris, Bern"
"Oh, it's Ms . Yuri"
To her who smiled, I also return the greetings with a smile .
Bern was quietly bending sideway .
"I am listening to your story Iris from various people . "
" Well, I'm doing my best at work . "
" Oh yes, this time the escort is also Bern, but . . Bern please do communicate with other people . It's bad if you're always with your sister . "
"Well . . . well . . . I appreciate your comments . . . Ms . Yuri you're only focusing on philanthropy, You're the fiance of Prince Edward, it was a dignified entrance a while ago . "
"I will be more confident in myself if you tell me so, Iris, it's a nice dress today, is it also a new work?"
"Thank you, it is a privilege for me that Ms . Yuri compliments it, this is a new work of Azuta Corporation and Madam Crejour"
"Well . . . . . . . I would like to wear such a dress, it would suit me . . . I would have been dressed perfectly if that was possible . "
"Such a thing . . . Your design complements better Ms . Yuri's cuteness"
" . . . Yuri . . It is almost time . . . "
As he interrupts our conversation, Ed speaks to her .
For a moment my eyes met those of Ed, but as if he saw something dirty, he gazed at my face and gazed at her eyes .
. . . . . . I do not feel anything more than being strangely caught in a situation I don't understand like the previous time .
"Oh, I will have to excuse myself"
Yuri left with him .
"Fuu . . . Finally free from those lunatics . . . . "
Fatigue has got to me and I unexpectedly leaked a sigh .
"Do you want to drink something?"
"No, thank you . Bern"
Thanks to Bern's words, I took the resolve to ignore all fatigue to accomplish my purpose .
Suddenly, someone familiar to me was visible some distance from us .
" . . . . . . . It's been a long time, Rudy"
"It's been a long time, Iris, Bern"
It was our cousin Rudy Jeremy Anderson who was there .
"It is unusual, you usually do not appear in such a place because you have a job"
"From my house, I was told that I should definitely come here"
"Oh Dear…"
He said those words and laughter came up .
"Do you want to go to the corner to rest, we can talk over there slowly or do you still want to be around here?"
"No, it's okay . Let's go where you mentioned . "
And the three of us went out to the balcony a little further away .

Olive the Other Werewolves
"Shift." His voice hit me like a serrated blade as he stepped out of the crude semicircle of hardened wolves that had formed around me. I pushed myself off of the cold floor for what felt like the thousandth time that day, wiping the small trail of blood coming off of my lip and down my chin. "I won't ask you again." My limbs felt like lead, these wolves had been at me for hours trying to get me to shift into my wolf, unbeknown to them was that their efforts would forever be futile considering the fact my wolf wouldn't make an appearance for me even when I begged. I seriously doubted she would suddenly pop up as a result of their abusive tactics. Instead of explaining my circumstances, driven by a bizarre combination of adrenaline and fatigue, I leaned back on my heels and sent the largest loogie I'd ever conjured flying over and landing squarely between the eyes of the man before me. oOoOoOoOoOo As a late bloomer who was incapable of shifting yet, let alone making any contact with her wolf, Olive Ludovic's life was not off to the best start. Growing up, constantly being tormented and taunted by those around her forced Olive to grow a tough skin and work even harder, despite the fact she was without her wolf. When her home is taken over by a dark pack, life seems to only get worse for Olive as it is quickly discovered that her mate is none other than Matteo, the Alpha of the very pack that was terrorizing her people. It seems to her, that life is just a little bit easier for Olive the Other Werewolves.oOoOoOohello! just fyi there will be mature language and content as the book progresses so i'm letting ya know now ;)HIGHEST WEREWOLF RANKING = 2, LOVE RANKING = 3 (out of 1.8 million books XD), MAGIC RANKING = 1, ROMANCE RANKING = 1 (out of 1.5 million books XD), VAMPIRE RANKING =1!
