"As long as it's His Majesty, I like him~" the Duchess said in a sweet voice, her whole body almost hanging in Zuan's arms.
Zuan: "..."
After the dance ended, as the Duchess nearly lost her balance on her way back to her seat, many nobles among the sea tribe exchanged knowing glances. His Majesty is indeed His Majesty; his skills are truly impressive.
Shang Hongyu felt strange. "Hmph, still pretending to be innocent in front of me. Even the real Dragon King probably wouldn't be as skilled as him."
Anger from Shang Hongyu: +110 +110 +110...
Sensing this surge of anger, Zu'an was somewhat bewildered, thinking, "Didn't you keep encouraging me to take advantage of you? Why are you getting angry now?"
However, he didn't have time to think about these things. Soon, another daughter of a general's family came to invite him to dance. Although she was not as beautiful or voluptuous as the Duchess, she was young and full of collagen, which made her look very energetic.
Feeling the subtle gazes directed at him from several people in the hall, Zu An knew this was his first act at the Dragon Palace, and he had to put on a good show to minimize people's suspicions.
Otherwise, once the seed of doubt is planted, no matter how well you do afterwards, you've already failed in your attempt to fake it.
So he smiled, got up, and went back onto the dance floor with the lady.
Time passed without him noticing; Zuan couldn't even remember how many noble ladies of the sea tribes he had danced with—ladies and young ladies from various noble families of the Dragon Palace, princesses and county princesses from all races…
There were so many names that he couldn't remember them all. The key point was that almost every one of them was very enthusiastic and proactive. Even some of the slightly shy girls left him enough hints that he could stay overnight in their rooms if he wanted.
Zaun finally understood why the Dragon King rarely stayed in the palace; the outside world was too wonderful.
The ball finally ended, and Zu An, relieved, returned to his palace with Shang Hongyu.
Looking at the numerous lipstick marks on Zu An's face and neck, Shang Hongyu smiled enigmatically: "Did you have a great time today?"
Zuan sighed: "It's all because of you that I kept encouraging this. I don't want to go through this again."
He wasn't made of wood; those women were all incredibly beautiful and charming. By the end of the night, he felt like his whole body was about to explode.
"You wish! Such a grand ball isn't so easy to organize." Shang Hongyu snorted and, with a stern face, went back to her room, much to the dismay of the guards and maids.
Zu An then seized the opportunity to summon the turtle prime minister: "By the way, there was a misunderstanding between the Queen and me a few days ago. I don't know if Shang Liuyu is worried about being implicated, but she has also disappeared. Have you found out where she is?"
He wasn't indulging in a sweet romance; he remained concerned about Sister Shang's safety.
The Turtle Prime Minister replied, "The Third Princess often runs away, and her whereabouts are unpredictable. We cannot find her."
"Now that the misunderstanding between me and the Queen has been resolved, you should announce it to the world as soon as possible so that she can know everything and return to the capital."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take care of it immediately." The Turtle Prime Minister, carrying his tortoise shell, retreated with a hunched back.
Not long after, the head guard from before entered: "Dragon King, why did you leave the Queen here?"
