The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 646

Beauty’s response to Daniel's suggestion was succinct: “Buzz off!”

“Really, darling? You wouldn’t marry a piano prince? Well, what if I proposed to you?”

“If you dare to joke about that, I’ll kick you out of this galaxy!”

Beauty didn’t hide her ferocity. “Are you suggesting you want to elope with me to space?”

“Buzz off!”

Annoyed, she swatted at Daniel and then inquired, “So, how exactly are you planning to fend off Declan?”

“By beating him at what he does best, of course!”

“Best? You mean the piano?”

“Yes!”

“You can play the piano?”

“I learned it from the dog back home.”

“A dog? Dogs can play the piano?”

“It wasn't just any dog—it knew everything! Almost all my skills, it taught me.”

They bantered back and forth, more like playful teasing than conversation. Throughout the exchange, Daniel remained rather tame, but Beauty couldn’t help herself, occasionally taking a swipe at him.

Meanwhile, Declan—who had prepared such an extravagant surprise to propose to Beauty—was none too pleased to see his adored idol bantering with a country bumpkin. His face darkened as he witnessed the scene.

However, after finishing the “Wedding March” melody, he approached Beauty with a huge bouquet of roses. Despite not knowing who the country fellow was, he believed nothing could ruin his proposal.

After all, Declan Hall was the second son of The Halls, part of the Big Eight of Washington D.C. He and Beauty were a match made in heaven—who else could she possibly marry if not him?

Striding confidently towards Beauty, he knelt before her under the watchful eyes of the crowd and offered the captivating roses to her.

“Beauty, I love you! I want to spend a lifetime loving you, you're the only one for me in this life! Marry me, and I will ensure your happiness.”
