Chapter 148 Running Away

The ball progressed slowly. After His Royal Highness and Cinderella danced, the ball officially began. The men took the initiative to find the lady they liked, and Cinderella became the most popular candidate.

The prom is not just for one person to dance with. Except for the first dance, which has a greater meaning, the rest depends on the individual's wishes. It has no other meaning. It is equivalent to a kind of sport, such as playing a game of badminton.

So everyone else wanted to have a more intimate contact with Cinderella, and it was the first time that Cinderella was so popular, which not only made her feel a little flustered, but her remaining rationality still told her that it was best not to agree to those people's requests.

Unless it is someone with special hobbies, most people would not want the person they like to be closer to others, and Cinderella's goal is to become a princess, so it is better to refuse at this stage.

As they retreated one by one, the other men also realized that they had missed the best opportunity. If nothing happened to that beautiful lady, she should be the future princess.

It's just that at this time everyone suddenly realized that there was another good show to watch. Cinderella's two sisters, they think highly of themselves, and look down on some aristocratic men with poor conditions. They originally thought that they would be the center of the ball. Unexpectedly, in the end, a few crooked friends from the base would fall in love with them, which made them all pissed off.

Seeing Cinderella chatting happily with Cinderella, the two sisters were shocked and walked directly towards the prince. The elder sister Charlotte squeezed her voice and pretended to be elegant and said to the prince: "Your Highness, I don't know if I can have the honor to invite you How about you dance?"

Then Charlotte saw Cinderella standing aside, and continued to say in her sharp and mean voice: "Miss, you don't mind, if you do, you are too narrow-minded."

Obviously, Cinderella has become the focus of everyone, making Charlotte jealous. The focus should be on her. The superior life in the past and the lawless status in the family made Charlotte somewhat confused about herself.

In order to show etiquette at the ball, men usually invite women. At this time, women have the right to refuse. Although women can also invite men, but in order to show their own modesty, generally no women do this, and once they do, then men Generally can't refuse, unless the other party hates that woman extremely.

Charlotte thinks very highly of herself. She thinks that in her situation, the prince will definitely agree. As long as she dances with the prince, the prince will definitely fall in love with her. Leaving aside the bitch in the blue dress, who knows that at this time, she heard His Royal Highness He said with a cold face: "Sorry, I don't dance with narrow-minded ladies."

"You..." Charlotte's expression froze, and the complacent expression towards Cinderella instantly froze on her face. She turned around in disbelief and looked at His Royal Highness with a cold face. How dare he , how dare he treat a beautiful lady like this, he is such a terrible, rude and mean person, such a person would be a prince.

"Your Highness, please take back your rude words, I..." Charlotte screamed, throwing away all the pretentious elegance, looking like a shrew, and was about to say Make ugly words.

Fortunately, at this time, sister Katie quickly grabbed Charlotte, and the stepmother and the baron who rushed over also quickly apologized: "I am very sorry, Your Highness, I am not strict in discipline, and everyone laughed."

"Don't be sorry, I just hope that the baron will pay attention to the upbringing of his children, so that they don't lose their noble face." Prince William waved his hand indifferently.

"I'm really sorry." The baroness and his wife were so scared that they broke out in cold sweat. As a nobleman with no fief and no real power, if he really offended the prince, then although it is impossible to punish him directly, those who want to please the prince will take the initiative to make things difficult for them. The days to come are expected to be extremely difficult.

Katie on the side was much smarter than her sister. She said in a weak voice: "I am very sorry, Your Highness, my sister was rude and embarrassed you. I would like to toast you and thank you for your generosity."

"I think my sister is just too excited to see you, His Royal Highness. After all, His Royal Highness is so handsome. I also deeply admire His Royal Highness. I wonder if His Highness would like to dance with me?" Katie said. He maintained a look of admiration on his face, but he was filled with pride in his heart.

His Royal Highness had already rejected her sister before, but what she said just now belittled her sister and elevated herself, and gave an invitation that no normal gentleman would refuse.

In psychology, people will feel guilty after rejecting others, so when the other party makes the second request of the first point, that person may be embarrassed to refuse the second time.

This kind of psychological trick is something that we may use in our daily life. People are not used to rejecting others for the second time. For example, if you borrow a mobile phone from a stranger, after someone is worried that you are a liar and did not borrow it, you ask him again for help. If you send a text message, as long as you are not a person with a bad temper, you will generally agree.

Although Katie doesn't understand psychology, she has experience with this technique. For example, she often uses it when asking for expensive perfumes and clothing from her uncle, who is actually her father and lover. This skill.

Of course, this technique is not 100% successful. For example, His Royal Highness frowned and said, "Sorry, I'm a little tired, please forgive me for not being able to dance with you."

Katie's face froze, but she was better than her older sister. She forced a smile, and said with the last strength to hold back her anger, "Sorry for disturbing Your Highness."

Cinderella looked at the two retreating sisters, feeling unspeakably relieved. She looked at His Highness the Prince with admiration, how handsome and perfect he was, and I was about to become his princess, enjoying his favor.

But then Cinderella's face changed. At some point, Lu Li stood in her line of sight and compared the time with her. Her cheery mood cooled down. She looked at the hanging clock over there. , It was half past eleven before I knew it.

Before she had time to think about it, Cinderella hurriedly said to the prince: "Your Highness, I still have this urgent matter, please forgive me for being rude and leave first."

After finishing speaking, Cinderella walked outside with her long skirt in her hands. The prince had a flash of understanding, but he still chased after him and said with a smile, "I don't know if Miss Cindy is in a hurry. I think I can Can help."

"Prince, please go back, I'm really in a hurry, I'll be back tomorrow night!" Cinderella was anxious, but she couldn't reveal all of it, she still had to keep her steps and walked out quickly.

Suddenly there was a commotion among the crowd, a person tripped over something and fell in front of the prince, Cinderella seized the opportunity, got on the pumpkin carriage and disappeared in a flash.

Seeing Cinderella disappearing, Prince William flashed a funny smile, glanced back, and made an inviting gesture to a certain corner.
