To ask each other to dance in a Ball wasn't frowned upon.
Yet, Tyra's asking Aldrich for a dance raised a few eyebrows. Especially when just a few minutes before Harold had announced his and Amalia's engagement. It was apparent that even the couple had yet to dance together.
Aldrich saw the innocent smile on Tyra's face. Though the Law of Devil wasn't helping him in perceiving her emotions, Aldrich had been reading faces since his childhood. As he stared at Tyra, not caring for the time it was taking for him to reply, Amalia coughed and sweetly said.
"Ahem! Go on, one shouldn't make a lady wait for too long."
Aldrich was still holding the staff in his right hand. As he stood up from the chair, he put it behind his back. The Pillar of Footprints clung to his back with no need of straps.
Amalia, seeing this scene, giggled and mockingly said.
"Hehe! Will you dance with it on your back? Afraid if someone might steal it?!"
