Lewis POV
| watched from the back of the room as she danced with the mate of Lorellia. The queen had now been tasked
with teaching not just the mate of the king but both Dylan and Carlos in the ways of being a royal, however my
eyes were solely focused on Dylan. She was definitely getting better at dancing, and the more her confidence
increased, the more beautiful she became, not that it was actually possible for her to get any prettier. I'd always
found her alluring, but now she was almost irresistible.
It had been a day since that Carlos guy had been released from the dungeon and he was already being forced to
learn how to dance. | suppose it was a good thing in a way, because now Dylan's dance partner had about as
much experience as she did, and so ability wise they were very well matched.

However the way that Dylan handled herself was incredible. She remained calm, even when she was the most
insulted, and hearing her defendand my actions towards her yesterday was nice, even though she denied
any sort of feelings | had for her.
Carlos had been right though, for sunknown reason, the other day when she grabbed me, my heart skipped
a beat, and my cheeks took on a whole new meaning of the famous phrase ‘red as a tomato.’ Not to mention, |

tenses up, almost as if she’s bracing herself for pain.
I knew | could never do anything to hurt her, she goes through more than enough pain from the king alone, add
on to the mental abuse the queen dishes out and I'm honestly surprised she’s still so strong and functional. The
issue is, if she is still tensing every tshe missteps around me, then she doesn’t know I'd
never hurt her. She still thinks ofas someone who could torment her.
“That, was the first tyou we're actually decent.” The queen spoke quickly as she walked over to the human
pair. “Carlos, | said your back must remain ridged, but your entire body is far too stiff. Your body must glide
