"… …"

Liang Yue stared blankly at her surroundings before lowering her head to look at the dark green uniform on her body. Because the Silver Wings Medallion was radiating light like a star, for a moment, she didn't know what had happened.

Everyone had long since stopped discussing. At this moment, they were all suppressing their thoughts, but they did not look at the beam of light enveloping Liang Yue. The sound of her heels on the ground echoed throughout the hall as they stared at the girl walking towards them in the darkness.

In the darkness, her red evening gown seemed like fire. The crown that sparkled with starlight illuminated her face, presenting her in front of everyone. A young girl bathed in starlight walked towards Liang Yue.

The sounds of the surrounding boys kneeling on one knee could faintly be heard. This was a salute to the royal family. The students all secretly looked at the princess, not understanding why the final beam of light was shining on that person.

Barton raised his head and looked at Anna who was walking towards Liang Yue, as well as the boy whose face was covered by the light beam. He said with his mouth wide open, "That can't be …"

The pillar of light enveloped Liang Yue, and her beautiful appearance was bathed in silver light. Her long hair fell into his eyes, causing him to become even more enchanting. Even his puzzled frown became even more ethereal.

Under the strong light, Liang Yue couldn't clearly see the young girl walking towards him. He could only see the crown that was shining like starlight and the red clothed girl constantly moving closer to him. However, he didn't know why, a familiar feeling surged from the bottom of his heart.

Xiyue silently watched as that red-haired young girl walked over. She was the same as Barton, naturally, she knew who the princess was. However, after witnessing this scene, she felt that she had finally mustered up the courage to lure him over to this ball … It smelled of smoke.

Of course she didn't know that Anna was also participating in this ball, and there was actually such an event. What did the beam of light enveloping Liang Yue's body mean?

Of course, it was the red-haired girl who wanted to snatch the girl away from him. Xiyue's eyes were emotionless as she stared at the girl who was walking towards them as if she was thinking of something.

Her long eyelashes lightly trembled, as if starlight was sprinkling down from above. She opened her eyes wide, and her smile seemed to spill out from within her red pupils. Then, she lightly smiled, her red lips curling up in a very beautiful smile.

The young girl's red dress and red hair were burning outside the light. Under the starlight, the crown shined like a painting, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as well as the smile that seemed to be seeping out from her eyes. He was incomparably astonished as he looked at the young girl in front of him, opening his mouth and speaking with some hesitation, "You …"

The young girl nodded and said with a smile, "Yes."

Liang Yue really didn't think that the princess would actually be her. He originally thought that she was some kind of official's daughter, so it was normal for him to think this way, because no one would have thought that the princess of the Duchy was actually an elf and not a human.

Anna took a step forward, her entire body bathed in light. She raised her head and looked at the man she liked, smiling very happily, thinking that coming here tonight would not be a bad thing.

Liang Yue subconsciously took a step back and lowered his head a little. Looking at this girl in front of him who was a head shorter than him, yet with a smile like a flower, the girl's true identity made him somewhat unable to calm down.

Tonight was truly a fortunate night, the girl thought. She lifted her arm and placed it in front of Liang Yue, not just because of shyness but also because of something. Her cheeks flushed red, she nervously said to him.

"Teacher Liang Yue, can you dance with me for a bit?"

The girl's voice drifted in the quiet hall, and all the shocked and confused gazes turned towards Liang Yue, who was standing under the light, and could not calm down for a long time. The more they knew about the inside story of this ball, the nobles who wanted to build a good relationship with the princess would definitely not accept this fact, because this man was not a member of their circle of nobles.

Liang Yue saw that Anna was somewhat absent-minded, until she heard her words, only then did she come back to her senses. From the reaction of her surroundings, it could be seen that Anna was really a princess.

"..."

At some point, Xiyue had come to Barton's side, frowning as she looked at him and asked, "Do you all know something?"

Barton was shocked to see the princess standing in front of Liang Yue, inviting her to dance with him. He couldn't believe his eyes, and then lowered his voice and said to Anna, "My original plan was to choose a dance partner amongst these nobles. If you can't find one, then you can let me be one."

Barton looked at the two under the light again and said hesitantly, "I didn't expect this either …"

Anna never intended to follow the arrangements made in the palace, she had her own thoughts, but when she came out she saw him, of all people she only needed a glance to find him, so she had a new idea.

Invite him to dance with me, I believe he will not refuse me.

The tip of Xiyue's beautiful eyebrows trembled as she strode towards them. Her high heels stomped heavily on the ground, creating a loud noise.

Under the silver pillar of light, the fire-like girl and the good-looking youth in military uniforms occupied everyone's line of sight. Everyone held their breath as they waited for the upcoming developments.

Everyone saw a black figure striding towards the light pillar. Those close to the figure could tell that it was the partner of the person wearing military uniform. The sound of his heels on the ground destroyed the quiet atmosphere.

Liang Yue naturally saw the girl dressed in black walking over. Before he could say anything to reject the girl in front of him, he heard the cold voice of the girl ring out in the arena.

"Anna Barol Mal, this is mine!"

"… …"

There had been too many surprises at this year's snowy night ball. However, when the girl wearing a black evening dress announced her ownership of the boy in front of everyone, in a loud voice and even in a vulgar voice, everyone was still shocked. Especially the nobles, who had thought of this girl first and seemed to have just called out the princess's name.

For some reason, the moon didn't show any signs of appearing. Under the starlight, there seemed to be smoke rising.

"… …"
