God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains - Chapter 219

Chapter 219: Amelia’s Old Appearance?

The servants hurriedly cleaned up all the mess that had been created and while the atmosphere wasn’t as good as before, it was slowly recovering.

Keith decided to take a break for a few minutes since it wouldn’t really be a good thing for the nobles to see him dance again.

He socialized with multiple people whom Mathew introduced and just as it was getting a bit too tiring, he saw Clara grab his hand and pull him away from the group of ladies.

“Sorry, but this guy here promised me a dance so I’ll be taking him with me for a while.” she said.

It wasn’t a request but a statement. The ladies complained but Clara simply pulled Keith back to the center of the stage before she looked up at him.

“Thank you for saving me.” he said as he held her hands.

Clara smirked before hitting his chin with her forehead, “You looked like you were enjoying their company a lot.”

“Gotta pretend, right? That’s what Amelia taught us.”

“Right.” She said as she followed the slow steps that Keith took.

The nobles nearby watched them for a few seconds before looking at the group that was playing music. Only when they felt like the music wasn’t speeding up, did they let out a sigh of relief.

One by one, everyone went back to focusing on their dance partners. Keith got immersed in the music as he danced and the way Clara looked at him gave him shivers of excitement.

‘Control yourself. She wants to dance with you, that’s all.’ he thought as his mind went to his little brother who was slowly waking up. The way her curves felt on his body were hard to ignore.

A part of him wanted to reduce his sensitivity to touch, but he stopped himself from doing that as he knew that this was an important moment for both him and her.

“I think I’m about to lose control.” he whispered in her ears.

As the warm air tickled her ears, she nodded, “Me too… let’s… go back home.”

Keith stared down at her for a few seconds before nodding, “Kay, give me a minute.”

He then brought her away from the place were people were dancing and rushed over to find his teammates.

Nathan was busy with a random lady while Caleb and Laura were in their own world while they danced. Keith spotted Amelia standing beside her father and rushed over to her.

“Hey, I’m going back home. No wait, I’ll just go out for a bit and come back.” he said and left before she could even say a thing.

Arthur looked at his daughter and sighed as he placed his large hand on her head, “Listen here. If you want something, you should chase behind it until you grasp it. And once you do, never let go no matter what happens alright?”

“You’re spouting nonsense father.” she said with a sigh as she silently watched Keith rush back to Clara.

She had gotten over her jealous feeling by now, but it still didn’t feel great when she saw him treat her like a normal friend.

As she saw him leave the hall, she remembered the incident that happened almost an hour ago and couldn’t help but smile.

Seeing him slap the guy who forced her to leave her family felt amazing. While she herself wanted a chance to slap Zander, she knew that doing so would just bring more trouble.

“You know… I married your stepmother for political reasons. It helped me get more money, but I wasn’t really happy. She barely talked to me and when she did, it was always a request. Her father wants something, her brother wants money, and similar things.

Only when I met your mother did I feel like I could just stop using my brain and I’d still be in good hands. She made me feel alive but you know what? Even though I was a Duke, she ignored me when I first approached her.

It was clear that she didn’t know my face or could recognize me. Though, my outfit back then also probably played a part since I was just roaming around with regular clothes.

She came from a poor household but she fed the dogs in the streets everyday. I was just curious why she was giving things to dogs when those dogs could probably never give her anything in return.

I got some people to investigate and found out that she didn’t have a good impression of nobles since some random Baron forced her to get engaged with him. As for the reason why she fed those dogs, my people had no idea either.

By this time, I had already fallen for her and I didn’t even know it. I disguised myself as a random guy and got a job as a postman. I wrote letters for her and went to deliver them myself and that was how we started speaking.

You should know the rest of the story right?” he said as he looked at Amelia.

“Yeah…. she fell in love with you after a few months and when the baron found out, he came to drag her away. You killed him and announced that you were the duke, after which she ignored you for three months hehe.”

Arthur’s expression froze as he gave her an awkward smile, “Hey, come on. She wasn’t able to handle living without me so she finally decided to come back.”

“Sure sure.” Amelia said with cheeky smile on her face as she teased her father, ‘Mom just loved seeing you wait outside her house. If only Keith was this passionate about me but I guess I’ll have to take things in my own hands.

Just like you did back then, father.

The only thing I’m afraid of… is that he probably doesn’t find me attractive at all. Maybe I should go and ask mother to give me back my old appearance…”
