Milly couldn't help but inquire, "Lucius, don't you relish this dance?"

Lucius arched an eyebrow in response, his voice cool yet affirming. "I quite admire it."

Milly's confusion deepened further. If he appreciated it so, why indulge in this charade of adding spice to his pursuit of Stephanie?All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Then why delay in making her yours? Once she's captured, you can savour this exquisite dance daily. Doesn't such a tempting proposition stir your desires?"

Milly fixed Lucius with an expectant gaze, her eyes shimmering with hope..

This is straight from the pages of the book, it can't fail.

Lucius slowly raised his gaze to meet hers, and as his eyes locked onto that glint of starlight, a slight tremor passed through him. His voice, husky and laden with emotion, murmured, "Indeed, it is highly enticing. Milly was on the verge of tears of joy, lightly slapping her thigh. "If it's enticing to you, then take action. Mere words won't suffice!

"Hm?"

Seeing Lucius's interest sparked, Milly seized the moment, leaning in to whisper some counsel in his ear.

"Consider this, as the heir of the Scathings, who can hinder your admiration for a girl, and who dares to oppose you? With such a golden opportunity at hand, if you let it slip, when the main character appears um, no, when another contender for her affections emerges, you'll face an additional rival! Now is the prime moment to pursue her!"

There was a flicker of intrigue in Lucius's eyes as he regarded her. "Are you so certain I can win her over?"

Milly responded with conviction, "Absolutely, being a woman myself, I understand our kind best. Though she may not reveal it outwardly, she secretly holds you in high regard. Women often conceal their feelings behind a facade!"

"What if she still rejects me?"

*You....

"Milly's frustration almost boiled over. This man was unbending!

She decided to take a daring approach. "If she declines, then bind her and conduct a thorough courtship in seclusion. She will yield!"

Lucius was taken aback by her bold suggestion, and he lowered his head, a soft chuckle escaping him.

This marked the first time Milly had witnessed Lucius laugh so genuinely.

With his brows and eyes curved, lips gently upturned, and a glimpse of pearly teeth, his already striking countenance now held a hint of allure, reminiscent of a secret painting in a forgotten palace, nearly enchanting her.

After his laughter subsided, he declared, "Very well, I'll take your counsel.

Milly blinked innocently, but she couldn't shake the sense that Lucius's recent gaze had held a hint of ambiguity. What was amisst W

did his look send a chill down her spine?

Regardless, she had said her piece, and he had agreed. If it worked out, splendid; if not, she had no recourse. She flexed her sore hand and reached for her phone to power it down.

Yet, as she glanced at the screen, disbelief washed over her. Hadn't she just shown Lucius Stephanie's dance video? Why was it now playing her own ballet performance from the interview? Scrolling through, she realised the videos were auto-playing in sequence. The prior clip had indeed been. Stephanie's, but due to the queue, her own dance had followed automatically. Milly stood frozen, repeatedly checking the playback history in disbelief. Had Lucius watched her video? Had she unwittingly complicated matters for herself? "Um..." Milly hesitated, clinging to a sliver of hope as she looked at Lucius. "The person in the video you just viewed was Stephanie, correct?"

Avoiding any mention of her own name, she feared his response might implicate her.

A mischievous smile flickered on Lucius's lips. "Would you care to hazard a guess?"

For a moment, Milly said nothing.

Keep this up and we'll have a choking hazard where I stuff my phone down your throat.

Milly held her breath, nervously attempting. "I suppose... yes!"

Lucius tilted his head, amusement glinting in his eyes. "Congratulations..."

Milly's eyes lit up momentarily.

you've guessed incorrectly."

Her smile faltered, fingers twitching with frustration. "Oh, bother....

Before her temper could fully ignite, a commanding voice intervened, "What's all this racket? Fall in!"

Xavier, resplendent in his military instructor's garb, materialised beside her, Stephanie by his side, tear- streaked face wearing a pitiable expression.

A chill ran down Milly's spine as a sense of foreboding engulfed her. The once bustling crowd fell silent, scrambling to organise themselves out of sheer apprehension.

Xavier's stern survey bore into them, and Milly felt as though his gaze could strip her soul bare.

"Yesterday, I made it clear that we are

a unit. Once we don our uniforms, we are no longer mere students but soldiers. The person beside you is your comrade, and comrades stand together through thick and thin!

"What was happening just now,hmm? Bullying your comrades? Do you consider that honourable, or do you believe it makes you strong?

Milly realised Xavier was channeling

his fury on behalf of Stephanie. As expected, the next command. followed swiftly, "Who was responsible for the misconduct just now? Step forward!"

Uh...

Milly hesitated, grappling with the dramatic accusation. Even if Stephanie was favoured, this false charge seemed excessive.

Lucius rose slowly, his handsome countenance remaining impassive. Xavier narrowed his eyes, moving closer until he loomed over him. "Explain yourself?"

Lucius remained steadfast. "Sir, there is no explanation."

Xavier sneered, chastising him, "So

is on !

Milly's eyes widened within the group. A weighted ten-kilometre run was a punishment dreaded even by elite forces, yet here it was being meted out to a newcomer. Moreover...

Usually, Milly would be delighted to see Lucius being punished, but this time he was clearly shouldering an undeserved blame.

Milly had sought to return to the original course of events, attempting to forge a connection between Lucius and Stephanie. Yet, in truth, Lucius was innocent.

In the end, the fault lay with her own meddling...
