Chapter 134 - 133: Signing Event IV
When another representative from the press raised his hand, the question was directed for Charlton to answer, "Lord Daniel, what do you think of Lady Serena? Don\'t you feel intimidated that she is the one coming up with the songs?"
"I think that she is the most brilliant woman of our age. No, I don\'t feel intimidated, I just feel proud of her." He said honestly.
Serena blushed. She couldn\'t help but look at Charlton. Were those words for real? Or was it just because that they were in front of so many people and she just defended him that he said that?
Suddenly a girl from the back screamed "I\'m all for team Cherena!!!"
"Me too! Just get married already!" another screamed.
The audience was mainly divided to 85% adults and 15% teens from the most prestigious families. Serena and Charlton blushed, it seems like not all people inside were aware that Serena was engaged to Geoffrey so they assumed that there was something between the two.
Some people laughed. Though it was a little awkward and some were staying silent. They knew that the crown prince, Geoffrey was there, and he was the intended of Serena.
Geoffrey on his part knew that nothing was between his cousin and Serena, so he let it go. Though it doesn\'t remove the fact that he felt jealous. He shook his head. This was just for show and it was his fault that they were pitted together.
Then Mr. Easton interrupted, "Everyone since it\'s already 3 in the afternoon we need to wrap up with the interview to give way to the signing or the albums portion. Anyway, let\'s receive 2 more questions. Okay, the man at the back."
"Lady Maxwell, since the two songs were very successful, should we expect a new song coming up? If so, then when?"
"I\'m glad you asked that question. Currently, I, along with some people, I\'m not saying their names to not divulge their identities yet, are working on a new song for a certain cause. I hope that when the song is released, you will give as much support. We\'re looking at somewhere at the latter part of April for the date of release."
"Last question" Edward announced.
"Lord Daniel and Lady Maxwell, should we expect that the two of you will continue to work together in the future?"
Serena and Charlton looked at one another, they knew that they may not, but remembering their promise to Edward, they could not directly say no.
"We still have an engagement to fulfill, so we still need to work together. After that, I can\'t tell." Charlton replied.
"I\'m not sure for a new song, but yes, Lord Daniel is correct." Serena replied.
The audience were not very satisfied with that answer, but Edward was the one to placate everyone.
"Whether our stars should work together again in the future or not, we should just all leave it to fate. And that\'s a wrap! Now, let us proceed to the next part of the event. Please, everyone who wishes to get their covers signed, you may line up now."

The microphones in front of Charlton and Serena were removed, then they were both given a pentel pen each.
The audience started to stand up and fall in line. The older generation were given priority to go first.
"you don\'t know how much I cried when I heard your song through the years. Thank you very much for the wonderful song. It was truly a masterpiece." The first old woman in line said. She was with her husband. As they had two albums, they handed one each for Charlton and Serena to sign.
"Madam, may I ask your name along with your husband\'s? I wish to write a short message for the two of you." Serena asked politely.
"My husband here is Duke Lucas Vincenzio and I am Duchess Lucille, we came all the way from Russow to see the two of you. And it was worth it." She said with a kind smile.
Serena was surprised, they also had audience from overseas? "Wow… you came from so far away. Thank you very much." Then she started writing.
Charlton also wrote a short message. Afterwards, they exchanged the covers so that the other will write on it too.
After the old couple the others also followed. Honestly, she thought it would be easy. But apparently, there were just too many covers to sign. But seeing their excited faces, hearing their words of appreciation, and knowing that some came from places so very far away, gave her the strength to continue writing with her pitiful hand.
From the corner of her eyes, Serena saw her parents and Charlton\'s parents talking to each other with Geoffrey and Leonard in tow. Anyway, she just saw them in passing and have no time to wonder what they might be talking about as she was busy concentrating on the people in line asking for an autograph.

Duchess Celine could not help but blush in the presence of Grand Duke Charles. Even now, he was still so handsome and manly. Time has treated him most kindly.
Princess Georgina felt proud. Although her husband was 13 years older than her, he was still a man in his prime. Despite his cold face, she loves him so very much. Thankfully, he attended the event. He usually was very busy.
"Duke and Duchess Maxwell, it has been a while." The Princess began.
As it was not a formal occasion, there was no need to curtsy, also their position now wasn\'t that far apart.
"Yes, it has been." Celine answered. They did not have much to talk about given the generation gap, but their interaction has been pleasant ever since.
"How have you been Charles?" Duke Simoun asked. Although they never had the chance to talk that much, they were from the same generation.
"Well. You?" he asked in return. He has never been a man of many words.
"I have been well too." Simoun replied. Not knowing what to say, their conversation ended there. He looked up to Charles, but the man was never good at socializing. He understood that he was a military sort of man, but even so, he has been married to the princess for two decades. Yet, until now, he remained to be socially awkward.
