I Don't Want to Be Loved

Chapter 118 Deep In Love

Chapter 118: Deep In Love

Rihannan threw away the memories of her past and stood up from her seat. She had many times to think over the past month. The one enlightenment she came to was the people who wreaked havoc in her life were no longer, and the Igor of this present life was a different man.

She believed in this truth well.

The king and queen walked down hand in hand. Meanwhile, the nobles hurriedly moved aside to create an empty space in the middle.

After bowing to one another, they stretched one side of their hand outwards and spun in a circle in the spot. Their eyes did not move a single inch away from each other. While they spun the other direction, their gazes did not falter.

Igor pulled Rihannan’s hips closer to him and moved a step forward.

He looked at her.

She looked at him.

Her lips were filled with genuine smiles.

He smiled broadly as they danced.

No matter who saw them, they saw nothing but a king and queen stripped off their status and was simply a man and woman deeply in love.

“…It looks like His Majesty cares for the queen much more than I expected.”

“Yes,” a nobleman chuckled, “perhaps we’ll see a new royal family member soon enough. They look so happy together. I’m sure her pregnancy is near.”

“Oh? Looks like we’ll bear witness to good news again.”

While the nobility gave their opinions of the king and their newly pronounced queen, the king and queen’s second dance came to an end. They bowed to one another and left the dancing hall elegantly.

The nobles soon gathered in the hall and danced as they pleased.

A melody with a faster tempo began to play throughout the ballroom.

The noblemen grabbed the hands of their partner and whisked her away for a dance. The attendants busily delivered light snacks and alcohol to the guests standing freely and watching the dance in amusement.

The ballroom was filled with cheerful moods.

After the dance ended, the king and queen separated and began in earnest their socialization with the nobles, to which many looked forward to. The nobility immediately came up to their queen as soon as possible.

“My Queen, she is the wife of Duke Safia.”

Mrs. Cessley stayed by Rihannan’s side as she introduced the nobles with the intent to socialize with the queen. The nobles who were able to give a mere simple greeting previously were now able to speak to her as they wished.

“My Queen, I wish to invite you to join us in our domain should you find the necessary time and if heaven wills it. The scenery there is absolutely beautiful. I’m sure you’ll love it.”

The duchess’ words were full of sincerity.

Rihannan fanned herself and smiled gently.

“Thank you for your offer, duchess. I truly appreciate it, however, I’ve yet to fully adjust myself to the palace, so it would be difficult for me to make any promise to visit your domain. Once I familiarize myself, I’ll be sure to remember your earnest request.”

“Whatever do you mean, My Queen? You seem plenty adapted to this place already, especially seeing how close you are with His Majesty as well! Isn’t that right, Madam Cessley?”

Hearing her words, the nobles nearby laughed heartily at the same time.

Mrs. Cessley laughed alongside and sent a veiled gaze. “You have no idea how much His Majesty cares and adores Her Majesty. I’ll simply tell you that what you’ve seen today is nothing compared to how they are.”

“My goodness! To think their love runs deeper than this! Once I saw how close His Majesty and Her Majesty were together, I lost count how many times I pinched my husband’s hips in a fit of anger and jealousy. I’m pretty sure it’d be bruised at this point!”

Another round of hearty laughter ensued.

As they conversed further, an attendant came and looked for Mrs. Cessley.

Someone from the residence sought her presence.

Seeing that Rihannan easily immersed herself amongst the nobles, she felt reassured and left to attend to a matter that needed her attention. She judged that Rihannan would be able to continue the flow of the conversation when left alone.
