Chapter 52
Lucas frowned at my lie. Even though I didn\'t expect for him to fall for it but still!
He knew every time when I played with Blackie. He says that he knows from some mana getting on to me whenever I play with Blackie.
But he said it was not too dangerous so I controlled the time I play with Blackie.
"So you are 14 now?"
"When it\'s after my birthday. Ah, right. Earlier, my dad..."
I told him the story. Then he made fun of me.
"Are you stupid?"
What? What did I do wrong!
"There is only one thing you should\'ve asked for your birthday."
What? I\'m more curious.
"You are always like this when its related to your dad."
And I was shocked at his words.
"Its obvious that he wants your first dance in the debutante."
...Is that some kind of joke?
Claude wanna dance with me? Why?
"Uh, I don\'t think you know but. You don\'t dance with your dad at debutante."
"Sometimes they do. Very few."
"People say that they don\'t because it is inelegant."
"Yeah. And your dad wants to do that inelegant thing."
Hah.
Hah?
Haaaah?
"For real?!"
"See. Why do you study. When you are going to be that dumb."
He smirked at my reaction. But I didn\'t even fight back.
Was I an idiot?! Now that I think, Felix also gave me a hint! Then it\'s real? Claude wants to have my first dance for my debutante?
I was dumbfounded.
"I told you. Your dad likes you more than you think he does."
***
The next day, I was having a tea party with Claude. The sunlight was shading Claude\'s blue eyes, green.
"Dad."
His gaze moved to me when I called his name. I smiled to that gaze.
"It\'s my birthday soon."
I\'ve thought all night after what Lucas said last night. Haha. Its not any other but \'Claude\' who wants to dance with me!
"And there is my debutante."
Thinking of Claude and Felix\'s actions yesterday all proved that Lucas was right that I was shocked.
Claude looked at me with a gaze seeming to say \'so what\'. I don\'t know what he\'s thinking through this. So I decided to get straight into it.
"So I thought about who I want escort from and my first dance with."
Suddenly Claude\'s gaze changed. When I glimpsed at Felix, Felix was looking at me seeming to say \'Yes princess, that\'s it!\'.
"Since it an important day, I want to do it with someone special...."
Ah ha, so its that, huh? I really knew now what they wanted with a help from Lucas.
Heh. It\'s hard not to smirk at this. I continued speaking with a smile and pretended I didn\'t know any of this.
"Wouldn\'t Felix be the best fit? How does dad think about this?"
"Gasp!"
Felix let out a gasp as soon as my words were out. He was looking at me as if he was asking what I was doing. But it wasn\'t Felix\'s but other person\'s reaction I was interested in.
Click.
Claude finally opened his mouth setting his tea cup on the table.
"Felix. Not bad."
He acted the same as usual but I saw him twitch his eyebrow a bit. And I just smiled.
"Right?"
"Do whatever eay you want."
It was as Felix\'s opinion didn\'t matter. Well Felix didn\'t have rights to refuse an order and he would accept if I begged him anyways.
Of course if Felix really hated it, I wouldn\'t force him. But there were no chance he would dislike it.
"Wow. I asked yestersday and Felix said he would accept if there isn\'t any better person to go with."
"P-princess."
"But I still asked for dad\'s opinion."
Felix was pale. I felt bad but this is nothing compared to how much oppa had done to me!
"Your majesty. I apologize but I...."
"Great. Felix mentioned your debutante a few days ago as well. Of course it had to be someone important. Then won\'t Felix be happy."
"Y-Your majesty."
"But why are you making that face? You don\'t seem too happy."
"Of course it is glory to my famil.... Gasp. Your majesty! It\'s not that."
Felix was sweatdropping. It was understandable that Felix was panicking because he brought it up for a different intention but flowed the wrong way.
Claude glared coldly ad Felix.
"A glory. Of course."
"I\'m also happy to go in and dance with Felix! Hehe."
I didn\'t look at Claude but just smiled.
\'Your dad likes you more than you think he does.\'
Hmm. I smirked not noticably at that.
I wanted to play a luttle trick on them.
***
"Let\'s practice dancing!"
"No."
Few days later. I shouted at Lucas. He was on the floor with apples and water.
"You said you were fine alone. Why are you also pushing me in? I\'m not doing it."
"Hey I feel like I\'ll have to dance with my dad for the debutante first dance."
I smiled as I placed my hands on my h.i.p.s.
I was secretly planning stuffs deceiving Claude.
It was hard to not laugh at Felix who grew more concerned as the says went by. Of course Claude didn\'t ask himself but it was obvious now.
So I was going to make him feel bad before I agree myself.
Kuckkk. A day has come where I can control myself of how I treat Claude like this.
"But your height? If you wear heels, you\'d just step on people."
Mmm. I don\'t want my hard work to go to waste. So I\'ll work hard on my dance practice.
Lucas chewed on the apple as he smiled.
"So, you want me to change form into an a.d.u.l.t and help you practice?"
"Yeah yeah!"
I\'m a genius! To think of things like this.
"Oppa and my dad\'s height were almost the same."
I don\'t remember perfectly but I knew that he was tall.
"Well, even though it\'s not, you can just change taller?"
Lucas made a face seeming to say \'look at this, do you think I\'d agree?\'. I thought this would happen so I prepared this!
"The universe wide strongest and talented genius handsome wizard Lucas can do this as if you\'re eating a cake, right?. Right? Hmm? So can you? Huh?"
I looked at Lucas with my cute face I did to lots of other peopel. Then he made a face as if he was choking on the apple.
Then he snapped with his fingers.
Snap!
"I\'m busy so practice with this."
And in front of me appeared a man made of paper!
"What\'s this!"
"what do you mean what\'s this. It\'s your partner."
"Why is this my partner! Why do you always make me these stuffs saying you are busy when you are not!"
"I am busy everyday breathing."
You could\'ve helped me!
Bue he didn\'t seem like he would dance with me. Well it wasn\'t suprising because this happened several times.
There was a time where he danced with me 2 years ago in ms. Pondafyu\'s dance cla.s.s.
She said we were the perfect fit for judging my our height. That day too, Lucas complained but was forced to fldance with me because of Ms. Pondafyu\'s scary speech.
And I realized that the black idiot was actually really good at dancing. He disliked dancing so after a few times, he would hide himself when Ms. Pondafyu came.
Eek. Won\'t he help me? It was Lucas who would usually do what I ask for but seems like dancing is not included. Sob.
"You could\'ve at least added in the eyes, nose, ears, and mouth."
I had no choice but to hold the hands of the paper.The paper doll was just made of paper but held my hand back! Ahh! Lucas makes the weirdest things.
