'Father?'
Eleanora looked back in amusement as she felt Alexander hold her wrist gently.
At first, she thought she heard it wrong but seeing the seriousness of his blue eyes, Eleanora was sure that she didn't heard it wrong.
Her father indeed offered her to dance with him, her first dance as an adult.
Alexander's heart felt a little sad as he saw her surprised look.
'She still can't believe in me enough...'
But that won't stop him from saving her. He won't let the past repeat itself.
He remembers how his daughter couldn't match the crown prince's fast steps and in the end of the dance, she fall down.
But the crown prince didn't helped her to stood up and left while leaving her alone.
Alexander thought that Eleanora was going to ask the emperor for a dance, who was standing in a corner behind Dominic.
"Elee?"
Alexander called her again as she didn't replied but his eyes widened in surprise as Eleanora smiled brightly at him.
"Yes, Father!"
