389 Meeting The In-Laws 4

Ailwin followed beside Lady Delju and Sienna as they walked towards the dining hall.

He tried to keep his a proper distance from the two but somehow the two women found a way to surround him on both sides.

Leaving him no room to move wen Sienna magically slip on nothing, into his chest.

\"Aaah!\" Sienna threw herself at Ailwin, hugging his waist tightly.

\"Miss Sienna...please remove yourself from me.\" Ailwin was standing as a rod in the ground.

\"Prince Ailwin....thank you saving me from the fall...\" Sienna slowly removed her arms from around his waist while flirtatiously looking up at his face.

\"I didn't do anything, Miss Sienna. I need to thank me, just move away.\" Ailwin didn't blink an eye a Sienna's body pushed up against him nor her charmed-fixed beautiful as it gaze at him.

\"Oh...yes..heh...of course...\" Sienna regained her shy facade, once Ailwin didn't immediately fall for her alluring beauty act.

Thinking it would've been best if he had just waited for Lord Mano's steward to show him the way, Ailwin was tried to speed up the pace.

Unfortunately, Lady Delju and Sienna were working against him as they led him to everywhere but the dining hall.

\"Prince Ailwin, there is no rush. We will arrive on time for dinner.\" Lady called out.

He highly doubted that as he picked up his pace.

\"Heh...it must be the Amara clan's delicious food that is calling to me. I don't want to miss one bit of it.\" Ailwin laughed off his frustration while searching for the right directin to the hall.

\"Oh, you like to eat. My daughter is a great cook. Isn't that right , Sienna? Maybe she can go over to your courtyard and cook something special for you two to eat…\" Lady Delju stared at his face, wanting him to commit to that promise.

\"Eh, that wouldn't be a proper, now would it? How could I allow a young miss to cook for me when she is not even my wife.\" He said, losing his patience with these two.

\"Heh...if that is the case, then it's an easy fix! Why don't you just take my daug-\"

\"Ah! That's the dining hall... We finally made it!\" Ailwin interrupted Lady Delju right when she was about to offer marriage between him and Sienna.

Lady Delju turned around to see the bright lights of the dining hall.

\"Hurry, it looks like they have started without us.\"

\"A-Prince Ailwin! Wait a minute! We were discussing-\"

\"Huh? I can't hear you?\" Ailwin was speeding ahead, leaving Lady Delju and Sienna to catch up.

\"Wait...Prince…\"

Ailwin rushed into the dining hall to see the tables full of food and glasses filled with drinks.

\"Ailwin!\" Lord Mano walked over.

\"What took you so long? I sent my steward over some time ago to bring you over, but they said you already left.\"

\"Prince Ailwin! We were discussing-\" Lady Delju and Sienna ran into the hall, bumping into Prince Ailwin and Lord Mano standing in the doorway.

\"Lord Mano, your wife and daughter decided to escorting me here, personally. They said we wouldn't be late…\" Ailwin answered, outing duo' scheme.

\"Hm, did they...I didn't think they even knew who you were?\" Mano stared down at his wife.

\"Mano...we...we…\" Delju stuttered, trying to get an answer out of her mouth.

\"Father, we saw you thanking this guest for helping with the fire and wanted to show our generosity as well. We found out who he was from the guards at his courtyard. We thought it would be discourteous to not escort him…\" Sienna turned to Ailwin.

\"Prince Ailwin, sorry for taking so long to thank you for your help with putting out the fire in our courtyard….We greatly appreciate it. Thank You.\"

\"Your welcome. Besides, Lord Mano has already thanked me.\"

\"En…\" Sienna bowed before grabbing her mother's hand and pulling her towards the main table.

\"Prince Ailwin, please this way. Everyone is waiting inside.\"

As this was a formal dinner, the members were all dressed in their best wear, especially the young ladies.

When Ailwin entered the hall the first thing he did was look for Mikaela.

Seated at the main table, Mikaela wore a rich purple dress that flowed down to her feet, and had an off shoulder strapless neckline.

With her hair up in a loose bun with wisp of hair trying to escape and framing her face, Mika looked beautifully charming.

When Mika noticed his gaze, she sent a big smile his way, instantly warming his heart.

*Clears Throat*

\"...Prince Ailwin allow me to introduce my family to you.\" One by one Lord Mano introduced his wives and sons to Ailwin before introducing Lady Lyra.

\"This is my lovely wife, Lyra and her daughter Mikaela...who you have met before.\" Lyra had been watching Ailwin from the time he walked through the door. She was irked by the way he had stared at Mika as if he had every right to.

\"Prince Ailwin…\" Lyra was wearing the same type of dress Mika was, but in white. It off-set her mocha skin, making her look modest but elegant.

\"Lady Lyra…\" Ailwin bowed deeply.

When he straighten back up, Lyra had already looked away.

Did I do something wrong…?

He wanted to ask Mika, but Lord Mano was pushing him towards the next group of people he wanted to introduce.

\"...and this is Lady Delju, my wife and my second-oldest daughter Sienna...who you've also already met.\"

\"Yes... Hello, Lady Delju and Miss Sienna.\"

\"Hello.\"

\"It's my pleasure.\"

\"Come Ailwin, you must be starving let's eat!\" Mano gesture for the music to play and for everyone to dug in.

There were two seats left for Ailwin to take, one at the end of the table next to Sienna and the other in between Lord Mano and Lady Lyra.

Happy to finally get the chance to talk with Mika's mother, Ailwin walked right passed Sienna eager eyes to sit next to Lady Lyra.
