The Villainess’ Beloved Plan: The Struggles to Avoid a Doomed End - Chapter 39

The dance party took place after dinner in a hall shared with first-class passengers.

Raqqa, a painter hired by Area, wanted to attend the dance party to paint, and with special permission, he was given a seat in a corner of the hall where he would not disturb the party.

Sofia put on a bright red off-the-shoulder dress and headed to the party with Randall after dinner, but it seemed that Randall had no intention of dancing.

“Hey Sophia, will you dance like you promised?”

Kyle arrived a little later than Sophia and the others and asked her to dance, kissing the back of her hand lightly.

“…… Sophia?”

Randall’s eyebrows twitched as he looked at Kyle, who chuckled and said, “Randall, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

Randall’s eyebrows twitched as he looked at Kyle, and he chuckled. I’m sure you’re wondering why I called Sophia. Are you going to get jealous? Hmm?”

“That’s ridiculous.”

“Oh, okay. Sophia, leave this sulking guy alone, come on, let’s go dancing.”

Sophia nodded as Kyle took her hand. Randall doesn’t dance, apparently. Sophia had been working hard and taking dance lessons. She wanted to dance, too.

She joined the dancing circle with Kyle and danced a slow waltz. Randall was a good dancer, but Kyle was just as good. He leads Sophia, who is still a little rusty, well.

Kyle said, “Sophia, I think he’s definitely getting jealous.”

“Randall? No way.”

“Why do you think so?”

“Because Randall has never been interested in me.”

“I see. You have a very low self-esteem.”

Kyle chuckles and decides to turn by pulling Sophia’s hand.

As she spun around, she saw Randall standing with his arms crossed against the wall, a furrowed brow and a miffed expression on his face.

Randall’s mood in front of Sophia is almost never good as far as she can recall, but today he’s been like this all day. He has been in a bad mood all day. What’s wrong with him?

“If you don’t try to face your feelings soon, it’ll be too late to regret it.”

Kyle mumbled quietly and supported Sophia’s hips, lifted her, and spun around. The crowd cheered and Sophia was happy even though she had not done anything.

The waltz began slowly, then quickened a little toward the end, and then slowed again to finish.

When Sophia and Kyle returned to Randall’s side, they were met with a stare.

“It looked like a lot of fun.”

“yeah. Kyle is very good at dancing. It was fun.”

“……….”

“Pfft!”

Kyle suddenly blew out, holding his belly and laughing.

Randall glares at Kyle who keeps laughing.

“Kyle, why are you laughing ……?”

Sophia wondered, but then huffed as Randall grabbed her hand.

“Let’s go.”

“What? Where?”

“To dance.”

“What?”

“I thought you didn’t want to dance.”

Sofia was so surprised that Randall dragged her into the dance hall.

What was unfortunate for Sophia was that the song now playing was too fast.

‘Why, of all times, during this song ……!’

Because of the fast tempo, there were few people dancing, and if they failed here, they would attract attention whether they wanted it or not.

But Randall, not knowing what he is upset about, grabs Sophia by the waist and starts dancing forcefully.

Sophia was on the verge of tears as she struggled to keep up with the steps. Thanks to Randall’s skillful lead, she was barely able to keep up with him, but she was worried that her feet might get tangled and she might fall.

She couldn’t enjoy the dance at all, and when the song was over, she moved to the wall of the hall, out of breath and exhausted.

‘What the hell?’

Randall was still in a foul mood, and Kyle was smirking.

Thirsty, Sophia accepted a bottle of champagne from the waiter and downed it in one gulp, finally catching her breath.

Sophia, not in the mood to dance anymore, spent some time chatting with Kyle and returned to her room just as the guests started to disperse.

By the way, the painter, Raqqa, later finished the dance scene between Randall and Sophia into an artistic piece based on the rough sketch he had drawn, which Johannes bought with a smile and will decorate the wall of the Duke of Voltio’s house, However, that is still a long way off.
