“You look very beautiful tonight.” The Prince complimented. “Thank you, your Highness.” “Please. Do not call me as such.” Sebastian pleaded. “Very well, then. Sebastian, thank you.” Marie said and beamed.

Silence occurred after their short conversation. Sebastian does not have the courage to open a topic again, and Marie, who is busy staring at the vast sky. Sebastian watched Marie with her eyes twinkling brightly like the stars.

“There you are.” Stephen joined, and gave them each a glass of wine. “The both of you caught the attention of our guests earlier.” “I think we did.” Sebastian replied. Stephen replied him with a smirk and stood next to Marie. “How are you tonight?” “I am very well, thank you. How about you, Stephen?” “Very well, indeed.” He replied and drank. “Marie, would you do the honor of dancing with me?” Stephen added. “Of course.” Marie replied and together they went to the dance hall.

Sebastian followed Stephen and Marie to the dance hall and he felt jealous when he saw Marie’s hand clasped tightly to Stephen’s hand. “Sebastian, let’s dance!” Mary exclaimed and pulled Sebastian. The four of them danced at the dance hall and the guests were deeply entertained.

After the dance, Stephen invited Marie to go to the study. “My parents are here. They wanted to see you.” “Very well.” Marie replied. They ambled to the study and meet with Stephen’s parents.

Sebastian, on the other hand, left watching them going to the study. He was envious and furious. He is furious because his cousin knew he likes Marie, not literally. But he told him he is interested in her, and now that they are talking with each other, he pulls her away from him. He is infuriated and dismayed. The prince went to the porch and hushed his anger.

The night ended with pleased and contented guest. They were deeply entertained by the music and the dancing. The Duke was pleased to know that his guests were actually exultant with his ball. He is looking forward for another ball in two months time.

Sebastian, Stephen, Marie, and Mary went back to their bedchambers together. The first room was Mary’s. Marie gave a peck to Marie and bid her good night. The next room is Sebastian’s. He directly went to his bedchamber without saying good night to Stephen or Marie.

“Sebastian,” Marie summoned. Sebastian turned around and gave her an inquiring look. “Good night.” Marie bid. Sebastian shrugged and nodded. He closed his door and went inside his room. Marie stared at the bedchamber’s door blankly and she shrugged.

She hastily walked to her bedchamber. Stephen tried to catch up with her, but unfortunately he didn’t. Marie was infuriated with Sebastian’s aloof behavior.

“Who does he think he is? Oh, yes. He is the Prince of Wales. The handsome and rich Prince. Egocentric and ill-mannered!” Marie thought.
