Surrounded by the applause of nearly everyone in the Grand Hall, Alex escorted Vaan towards the table where Charles, Nessia, and Renard were seated.
"Bravo!" Chuck happily went to his roommate and flashed a cheeky smile. "The two of you stole the show. A match made in heaven! Alex, you look dashing in that suit. However, you are still a level below my handsomeness."
Alex's eye twitched, but Chuck continued, "Still, I'm very happy that you listened to my advice to dress up. As for you, Vaan, you look very lovely! I almost fell in love with yo—awwww!"
Mary pinched Chuck before the bastard could even finish what he was going to say.
Standing beside the handmaiden, Princess Xenia was smiling sweetly as she thought of a hundred ways to beat the crap out of her so-called fiance.
(A/N: I'll still refer to Vaan as she during the party to avoid confusion).
