Honestly, Larisa did behave like a noble when among nobles, but when among non-nobles, she was more accustomed to behaving like a commoner.
Julianna, being a fallen aristocrat and having the same school background, as well as her partner Amy, being commoners, didn’t want to act noble in front of them.
“But Alexander is from the famous Belbore family. He must have some dignity.”
Larisa decided that she should be a bit more careful. Just a thought.
“Anyway! Alexander, write your name here.”
“Huh?”
“Come on, quickly.”
Larisa handed Amy and Julianna’s dance cards to Alexander.
“Why are you requesting a dance like this…”
Alexander was confused. Normally, when a man formally requests a dance, women tend to shyly accept, right? The social circles Alexander knew were like that, but Larisa was not aware of such customs.
“We’ve already discussed it. After me, you’ll dance with Miss Amy, and then with Julianna.”
Alexander hesitated, holding the fountain pen.
“…Uh, write it at least?”
“Yes, thank you. Belbore Yeongsik.”
Julianna answered confidently. Amy also shyly nodded. In the upper-class social circle, whether it was Alexander’s reputation or not, the opportunity to dance with Yeongsik from the prestigious Belbore family was rare for Julianna, a fallen aristocrat, and Amy, a commoner scholarship student.
“Larisa made a good choice to be friends with her. We should stick together for life.”
Julianna vowed.
At that moment, a few knight students who were wandering around the hall without a partner approached.
“Lady Larisa, would you like to dance with me later?”
Alexander thought to himself.
“Yeah, that’s how she usually is.”
However, instead of shyly acknowledging the greetings, Larisa grinned and shouted.
“Alright! Anyone who wants to dance with me, line up here!”
Starting with the male student who requested a dance, knight students and male students from other departments began lining up in front of Larisa.
The atmosphere was becoming like a marketplace. Alexander scratched his head as he witnessed the scene.
“What is this?”
Larisa, holding dance cards for Julianna and Amy as if she were a market vendor, shouted.
“Please fill out my friends’ cards here!”
Larisa and her friends’ cards were sold out within 30 minutes of entering. Alexander stood next to her, feeling completely out of place.
Alexander, losing his composure, said, “What on earth are you?”
“Huh?”
“What’s your identity?”
“What do you mean? I’m Larisa.”
Where did someone like her come from? Alexander stared at Larisa as if she were some strange creature.
“Because of you, the ball turned into a marketplace.”
“But everyone seems to be enjoying it, right?”
Alexander had to admit that. The boys and girls who were standing nervously were now lightly asking each other to dance, thanks to Larisa’s actions.
Larisa chuckled and said, “This isn’t a real social event anyway. Do we have to follow the adults everywhere?”
“It’s not like that, but…”
“It’s not like we have to follow all the etiquettes after graduation. Why not have some fun here?”
Really? Alexander found himself strangely persuaded by Larisa’s words.
“Alright, let’s go greet the princess now.”
“After causing this chaos, we’re going to greet the princess?”
Alexander pondered. Whether he liked it or not, Larisa grabbed Alexander’s arm and dragged him along.
Contrary to Alexander’s concerns, the princess welcomed Larisa with great joy.
“I greet the princess.”
The princess, dressed simply, was surrounded by maids. Seeing Larisa, the princess clapped her hands in admiration.
“Lala, so beautiful! Really.”
“Hehe, do you think so?”
“Who chose the dress for you?”
“I chose it myself.”
“Oh my, you have excellent taste.”
Even the princess’s maids giggled and praised Larisa. The princess turned to Alexander and asked,
“You must be Alexander Belvero, right? Today, you’re accompanying Lala as her cavalier?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Please take good care of Lala.”
Although Larisa looked around the princess, there was no sign of the princess’s cavalier. Larisa whispered to the princess,
“Your Highness, is there no cavalier today?”
“Oh, today, I’m not feeling well.”
It seemed the princess had no intention of dancing at all. Her attire blatantly portrayed a fragile concept. The white lace dress, wrapping around her neck, accentuated the princess’s delicacy.
Larisa offered an awkward smile. Seeing the princess sitting there so forlorn, Larisa thought she should have asked William for a favor separately.
It happened while Larisa was engaging in small talk with the princess. Larisa somehow felt the surroundings becoming quiet.
The princess, who was conversing with Larisa, also soon stood up with a surprised expression.
“Oh…”
When Larisa turned around, William was standing there.
Unconsciously, Larisa grabbed Alexander’s arm, took a step back, and locked eyes with William.
However, without saying a word, William avoided eye contact and walked straight towards the princess. Murmurs could be heard around.
“William Rodante.”
“No way, to the princess?”
Indeed, it was true. William politely extended his hand to the princess.
“Your Highness, would you dance with me?”
It was a perfectly courteous proposal. Blushing shyly, the princess took William’s hand.
“Willingly.”
It was like a scene from a fairy tale, a picturesque dance proposal.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff.
