Chapter 121

Once the dinner was over, the servants took away all the tables and plates within one minute.

Aquitius the sixth clapped his hands, and the lighting of the hall changed into disco lights, but in a slow mode. A familiar acoustic dance song started playing, and the couples started dancing.

Of course, not all of them were couples, but only pairs.

Zach was pushed away by the swarm of people, and he ended up losing sight of Aurora and Aria.

It was dark, but not too dark to see. The dim lights were beautifully illuminating the surface and a stunning chandelier on the ceiling.

However, Zach was able to spot Aurora within seconds because of her dress. Her dress reflected lights, and there was only one person with that dress.

Zach tried to walk past from between, but he was pushed aside by the dancers.

By the time Zach glanced back at the spot Aurora was standing, it was empty. He looked around and saw Aurora dancing with someone else.

Zach was jealous but not angry. Of course, this was a custom of the party to dance with everyone and take turns.

Now, Zach had to find a girl who was alone so he could ask to dance with him, but the only girl who wasn’t dancing was Aria.

’Well, I am glad it’s her...’ Zach sighed in relief and carefully walked forward to ask Aria to dance with her, but he was too late.

Another man approached Aria and asked her to dance with him, and as Zach had expected, Aria turned him down.

Zach scoffed and muttered, "That’s more like it."

However, when Aria noticed Zach was approaching her, she took the man’s hand and agreed to dance with him.

"..." Zach furrowed his brows and muttered, "You have got to be kidding me."

’She saw me, right?! She saw me approaching her and then she agreed to dance with that man! What’s with this feeling?’

Suddenly, a man bumped into Zach and tripped on the floor. Seemingly, he was drunk.

Two waiters arrived and carried the man away.

’People are drunk. What if someone...’

A girl placed her hand on Zach’s shoulders from behind and said, "Let’s dance, prince charming."

Zach turned around to see a girl in a black dress smiling at him

At first, Zach squinted his eyes upon seeing her because she looked awfully like Rilu.

Just to make sure, Zach glanced at the stage and saw Rilu was sitting beside Aquitius and Aquarius.

"Are you thinking, why do I look like the queen?" the woman asked with a grin on her face.

Zach grabbed the woman’s hand and started dancing. He didn’t want to break the chain and continue the rhythm so he could get to dance with Aurora after a couple of swaps.

"To be honest, all the fish look similar to me, so maybe that’s why your human forms are also similar?" Zach responded with a soft scoff.

"I am Aquarius’ aunt, Ruli," the woman replied.

’The word ’aunt’ triggers me for some reason.’ Zach let go of Rui’s hand and pulled her close after letting her go.

"So you are the queen’s sister. No wonder you look the same," Zach remarked.

"I am actually her twin sister," Ruli said. "The older twin."

"But... you look way younger than her. You look like you are in your early twenties." Zach let go of Ruli and grabbed another girl to dance with, but Ruli kept looking at Zach while dancing with the other man.

After a few swaps, Zach finally got a chance to dance with Aurora.

"You seemed to be having fun dancing with other men," Zach remarked as he grabbed Aurora’s waist.

Aurora brought her face close to Zach and uttered, "Yes, I was."

"..." Zach was annoyed by that, but he wasn’t angry. He was aware that Aurora was teasing him.

"I saw you staring at my way this entire time. Were you that eager to dance with me?" she asked with a grin on her face.

"Yes. And I was also worried."

"Oh." Aurora raised her brows and asked, "So you were worried that someone might touch me in a weird way and take advantage of me?"

"That’s too extreme, but yes," he nodded.

Zach would have razed the man who dared to touch Aurora in a weird way.

Aurora chuckled softly and said, "Don’t worry. I am used to these parties. We had them once every two weeks in the palace. Although I didn’t take part in all of them, I had to participate in the important parties."

"No wonder you are good at this dance," Zach commented while pulling Aurora close to him and feeling her body.

"What about you?" Aurora asked with a curious look on her face. "You are awfully good at this too."

"Let’s say I have a horrible memory about this," Zach replied with a wry sigh.

"You know..." Aurora moved her face close to Zach’s ears and whispered, "I have danced with many men, and they have touched me too."

Zach frowned his face and said, "Are you taking revenge on me because I am getting close to other girls?"

"Kind of?" she kissed Zach on the cheek and said, "Don’t worry. I was joking."

"I was aware of it."

"You are the only male who has touched me on my private parts," she said in a calm voice. "My father had assigned many female guards for me, including my masters. They always kept their eyes on me from all sides to make sure no one was harassing me."

Zach moved his hand from Aurora’s waist to her butt and said, "I am going to touch you more once we go back to your house."

"It’s ’our’ home."

Zach squeezed Aurora’s butt and said with a nod: "Our home."

"But you know, there was this son of the richest businessman in my kingdom. He touched my butt while dancing, and my father had him executed in front of all the guests, including the boy’s parents."

Zach kissed Aurora on the lips and said with a grin on his face: "It seems I would get along with your father."
