Sure enough, this guy found out about her abilities, though I don't know where he got the information from.
Fang Yuan continued to smile: "Of course, it is my honor that Your Highness is willing to know."
"That would be fantastic, I'm really looking forward to it."
After saying that, he looked at Arthur Rose and said, "However, I may have to disturb Duke Rose."
"It is an honor for our Duke's Castle that His Highness is willing to rest here. We will certainly make His Highness feel at home."
Arthur Rose replied earnestly.
He then turned around, pulled out the seat next to him, and looked at Fang Yuan: "Dear Miss Fang Yuan, please take a seat."
After these actions and words were spoken, the hall quieted down considerably.
All eyes were fixed on Fang Yuan, as if trying to pierce through her.
Sitting not far from them, Daniel and James had expressions that were practically a palette of colors.
The blonde beauty who had been her lover earlier was clenching her fists so tightly that they almost left marks on her palms.
Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow, then, still smiling, sat down despite the probing gazes: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Is this guy trying to roast her?
Can she say that she has absolutely no connection with this guy?
Arthur Rose's action made Theodore Ruby frown.
But she quickly returned to normal and continued to maintain her elegant posture.
At the dinner that followed, the duchess began using the same tactics she employed for her first dinner there.
While chatting with the people around him, he would occasionally take the time to introduce her to delicious food and even hand her meals.
"·····"
This made Fang Yuan's meal even harder to swallow than the last one.
The meal was difficult, and after finishing it, Fang Yuan planned to slip away.
Unexpectedly, Daniel came over and asked her to dance.
"Dear Daniel, do you know how embarrassed I was just now? Can I go upstairs to rest?"
She didn't want to dance any kind of dance; the principal dancer in this world's court was the waltz.
She didn't want to dance with anyone at all.
"No, that's precisely why you have to dance with me. Otherwise, if you come here today and meet these nobles, they'll just jump to conclusions about you."
Daniel continued.
He felt that his father had gone too far, having previously asked him if he wanted to marry Fang Yuan.
Now, however, he's making his own plans regarding Fangyuan.
"Alright then, but I rarely dance, so please don't be offended if I step on you!"
Of course not!
Daniel thought about Fang Yuan's previous status and assumed that he probably hadn't hired a private tutor.
He decided to be more careful then.
However, he forgot that he was at his father's birthday banquet.
So, Fang Yuan didn't leave; instead of Daniel, he was greeted by Arthur Rose.
"Beautiful lady, may I invite you to dance with me?"
"·····"
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Daniel speechlessly.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she had no choice but to extend her hand.
As he held Fang Yuan's hand, a familiar and comforting scent made his heart tremble.
The two then began to dance gracefully in the middle of the living room.
Fang Yuan's waltz is exceptionally good.
As applause erupted, Arthur and Fang Yuan made a grand exit.
Fang Yuan had a very comfortable aura about him, similar to the aura he had given Vivian the basket last time, making him reluctant to let go.
He finally understood why this person was liked by the elves.
If Vivian hadn't led the other elves to the side, Fang Yuan would probably have been surrounded by the elves.
The two retreated halfway, and Theodore Ruby took a step forward, extending an invitation to Fang Yuan:
"Beautiful lady, may I have the honor of dancing with you?"
Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow and smiled in agreement: "Of course!"
She didn't care about any of that anymore; she just wanted to muddy the water first.
Theodore Ruby was stunned for a moment after grasping Fang Yuan's hand.
Then the smile on his face became genuine.
After the dance ended, this guy did the same thing as Arthur Rose.
He held her hand but refused to let go; this guy was even more despicable than Arthur.
He gripped her hand tightly, as if holding onto a piece of duckweed, until her hand ached.
"Your Highness!"
Fang Yuan couldn't help but frown and call out to Theodore.
"I'm sorry, I was rude." Theodore reluctantly let go of Fang Yuan's hand.
But his gaze never left Fang Yuan.
"System, what's going on with all these people?"
Fang Yuan asked in his mind, somewhat puzzled.
Are these two possessed?
Why are you holding her hand and won't let go?
[Host, your plant and animal affinity has been amplified in this world; you are now somewhat like a walking tree of life.]
"What did you tell me before?"
If the system had a physical body, she would definitely give it a good beating.
That guy is a real jerk.
No wonder she pretended to have awakened a special ability; I thought it was because of the cheat code, the Tree of Life.
She herself is now almost like the Tree of Life.
She said that ever since Emilia got to know her, she has liked to hug and cuddle her.
I never imagined that this girl was lusting after her body.
"Will I become Tang Sanzang's flesh in this lifetime?"
She didn't want to be eaten because of her special abilities!
Of course not, this is a world where elves exist, and no one dares to eat human flesh.
Unless they want to be rejected by the elves.
"Beautiful lady, may I have this dance?"
