Extra-Changing Fate

Chapter 51 ==Summer Ball==

"Rumors has it that the Northern King would make her his Queen"

"It suit Lady Alyssa to be the Northern Queen, I mean she is used to lead, as she is the former crown Princess"

"Queen Alyssa Glaze Silverton-Stirlingshire, it does fit well right?"

I could hear a lot of gossips about me, and as expected, Kian did spread the word about the King proposing,

I walk at the large ballroom of the palace, as it is the last ball before all the guests from different kingdoms and empire will attend before going back to their respective homes

It's my birthday soon,

I thought, as it is almost a year since I've been Alyssa, I will be 17 soon,

I glanced to where sister and Princess Arabella are gossiping about me, trying to spread some rumors of me being the Northern Queen,

It's not like I care, but they're doing me a favor, I have to do this as this is my duty, though I know that this story will have a happy ending, but that's when Alyssa is dead,

As long as I will live as Alyssa, death would continue to follow me, I need to stop Kahli's subordinate from releasing Kahli from the seal

When I asked Virgo where did they seal her, she told me in one of the mountains of the Northern Kingdom, if Queen Lilith was the subordinate, no wonder she chose to seduced the Late Northern King

"My lady, would you accept my invitation for a dance?"

I was cut off from my thoughts and turn to face the Marquis Letricia, I took a glance to where the Princess is, and she's glaring daggers at me,

I don't care for this man, but I took a glance to where the King is at, who is busy socializing with the Southern King,

If I want to speed up the process of the proposal, I need to make him jealous, even if it means to have Princess Arabella hate me, though she is already hating me

"I would be delighted, Marquis" I smiled as he then offered his hand and I accepted it and we both then went to the dance floor, together with the other dancing pairs

We bowed at each other first before we danced to the rhythm, I could see that everyone is eyeing us,

Some complimented us for being well-suited, and some gossiped about me collecting the most eligible bachelors,

Even if the Marquis is a very influential man, I know that Father would most likely approve the King compared to the Marquis

I mean, why would a Duke's daughter settle for a Marquis when she can have the King? You all know what I mean, right?

Because of their attraction, I became the subject of some romance novels, and wanna know who is the author? It's Cancer and Capricorn, they truly love seeing me choose between 4 guys

They added Kian to the list, even I've already explained everything that we are just friends

"Something in your mind, My Lady?"

I was cut of from my thoughts again, as I saw the Marquis being worried for me, as we kept on dancing,

"Not at all, I'm just admiring the ballroom, the design is so summery" I reasoned while giving out a sweet smile

"My lady, I know that you hate me for what I did in the past, and I must ask for your forgiveness" he started as I blink my eyes for a second and try to remember what he meant and remembered a few months back when he used some love potion against me

"I presume that guilt has been eating you alive?" I asked him as he nodded which made me chuckle

"It's fine, it's no big deal and besides, even if I were under a love spell, It would only last till a month, since the potion you've used can be expired" I explained as he widened his eyes, which confirms that he doesn't know about that
