Just like the advice of friends.

Kang Si felt that his anti-fraud lecture had worked, and he smiled and was about to say something more. At this time, the prelude of the ball suite transitioned into a distant, romantic and gentle rhythm, and the voice that had attracted many guests to listen attentively once again

rang out and announced loudly:

"Then now, I'm going to find that mysterious dance partner."

Arthur Watson had walked to the center of the ballroom at some point, standing under the gorgeous and luxurious huge chandelier, raising high the crystal clear and slender wine glass in his hand, which was reflected by the candlelight and looked like a crystal texture.

"Or, which lady or young lady holding a marigold wine glass is willing to take a step forward so that I can see where you are?"

Marigold.

Audrey subconsciously lowered her head and glanced at the long flute-shaped glass with a little golden champagne left in her hand. Then she slowly raised her eyes and looked at the aristocratic girls who looked regretful and disappointed. For a moment, she was not sure what she should do.

What kind of reaction.

At one glance, Conse saw the damn marigold at the bottom of the wine glass she was holding. Her face suddenly sank, and she was about to put the wine glass on the table beside the railing:

"Let's go, Audrey, you don't have to cooperate in this kind of..."

"The marigold wine glass is near the arcade exit on the west side of the second floor, right?"

The delicate and beautiful face turned to them, and the clear and transparent green eyes seemed to contain lingering affection, but they were projected towards them like sharp blades. The aura alone had shocked Kang Si and made him never see it again.

He failed to finish taking away the wine glass and finished the second half of the sentence that he could not say.

What Audrey felt when she was in that gaze was another wonderful experience that was different from Cons's.

Although they were separated by a distance of more than ten meters, she felt as if this familiar yet unfamiliar face and his smile were right in front of her. It seemed that she could reach out and touch the generous hand that signaled invitation——

"This beautiful Miss Marigold, would you like to dance with me during the next piece of music?"

……………

When the ball came to an end, Audrey found her fellow occultist, Viscount Gray Lint, in the lounge far away from the ballroom, and asked him to help contact Xio and Forsi.

Viscount Graylingt agreed wholeheartedly, then looked at the earl's daughter in front of him for a while, and suddenly winked teasingly:

"Hey, Audrey, I heard that you danced with that handsome guy who was so handsome that he could bend Duke Negan. How did it feel? Did you have any... romantic thoughts about him?"

Audrey stopped, looked at him up and down, and pointed out calmly:

"The smell of alcohol on your body can already float five meters away. You don't need me to remind you that you drank more than your usual amount today, right?"

"Um...it seems not." Viscount Gralint waved his hand angrily and gave up asking about this gossip.

It wasn't until the ball was really over and she got on the carriage back home that Audrey finally took off all the pretense of calmness and buried her face into the soft cushion next to the seat without any image. Her left hand silently touched her waist.

The fabric of the dress that had just lost another layer of warmth not long ago.
