"Closer, yes, closer."
A gentle female voice sounded, the yellow and white dress she used more and more looked friendly. The music sounded, and the two people he had been paying attention to were moving in the middle of the room.
Alexandra and Lucian are practicing dancing. From the morning, Alexandra had been training with Lucian and it turned out that dance was more difficult than swordsmanship.
The woman looked at the pianist who was playing the dance song, and then moved her hand to ask the pianist to stop playing music.
"Duchess, you have to make yourself relax. Gently move your hand and try to stop stepping on Sie Lucian's foot." Marian looked towards Lucian's legs, an expression explaining that she was very sympathetic to Lucian, who had been stepped on by Alexandra dozens of times since the beginning of training had her feet stepped on.
"That's okay, Lexa. You're not heavy." Lucian smiled as he said it, even though his legs were throbbing. Stepped on with heels, that pointed corner had already given the pain in the back of his leg.
Alexandra looked towards Lucian's legs, they could see that there were some traces of the stomp she did there. Indeed, she realized that, when they practiced dancing, she moved like a tree trunk that was invited to dance.
"I'm sorry, Lucian." Alexandra pressed her forehead. It's a shame that the noble lady couldn't dance. She passed through her socialite party and didn't expect that she would be so bad at dancing.
After setting the state, Alexandra looked at Marian.
"Countess Marian, shall we take a break now?" Alexandra's golden eyes glowed, looking tired and Marian, as a good teacher, realized it took time to look perfect.
"Of course, duchess. It's already lunchtime, we will continue tomorrow again." Countess Marian lowered her head while holding two corners of her dress, an ethic that looked very good. Naturally, Alfo is proud of this wife of his.
In the social nobility also Marian is reckoned with. She is the former of the Marquis's son who married Alfo. If you hear the story Marian can choose Alfo, many people will not believe it.
Marian chose Alfo only because Alfo justified the ribbon on her dress.
"Tomorrow we will train again, Duchess and Mr. Lucian. Now excuse me first to meet my husband." Marian smiled, she resigned with grace on her.
After only the two of them had stayed indoors, Alexandra sat in a chair pressing her legs, which felt very stiff.
"You're not used to using heels?"
At least, the noble lady will use seven-centimeter-high heels and Alexandra has always only worn three-centimeter heels, and the heels it does not point she uses like this. Tends to land and makes it more comfortable when walking.
"yes, you know I'm often on the battlefield, right?"
Lucian nodded. She was still holding Alexandra's hand, Alexandra's body was unstable. Repeatedly, he almost fell.
"How about you open your shoes?" asked Lucian. He noticed Alexandra's feet, although both feet were covered with Alexandra's long dress, but Lucian knew that Alexandra's feet must have suffered a lot.
Alexandra looked at Lucian with a look of calm eyes and seemed cold.
[How could I take off the shoes in front of you? It will make me look hideous.]
Alexandra maintained her pride. If Lucian saw her take off her shoes it would have looked like a barbarian. Indeed, several times he often forgot the damn noble ethics that were really troublesome.
Oh! Yes! Alexandra once even broke a wine glass she used when people were very noisy commenting on the wrong way of holding her wineglass. They are too busy with a body heat that can affect the taste of the wine to be drunk. After Alexander broke the wine glass at the party and became the gossip of the nobles, Alfo always taught Alexandra everywhere. Because Alexandra did not want to take a special glass. If Alfo were a person who was afraid of death, he wouldn't keep raving about the many ethics that Alexandra had to pay attention to. As Alexandra swung her sword, Alfo was busy explaining about ethics.
While Alexandra was busy running around the field, Alfo also did not forget to explain all the ethics he knew. Because of Alfo's stubbornness, Alexandra subconsciously remembered everything. Now it is better than it used to be. She doesn't look very barbarian anymore.
Alexandra walked slowly. She was about to rest in her room because of this cursed dance that was like a dance of death to her.
"Eee...."
Almost Alexandra fell, Alexandra had prepared with her posture to accept the impact on her and the floor.
Tap!
Lucian quickly caught Alexander's hand, and Lucian pulled Alexandra, which made Alexandra's body now in Lucian's arms.
"What did I say just now..." Lucian sighed, he looked at Alexandra, who was looking at him. The golden eyes were exquisite, making Lucian speechless for a few seconds.
He put Alexandra on the floor gently. After he saw Alexandra standing firmly, Lucian again saw Alexandra, who had been silent since then
"Where are you going?" asked Lucian in his voice, melting Alexandra.
"My room." She replied quietly, barely if only Lucian didn't have sensitive ears.
Lucian scrambled. He directly grasped Alexandra's right hand.
"I'll take you to your room, Alexandra."
Alexandra just nodded. Walking in unison with Lucian made this sweet man admire this sweet man even more. He understands women so well. Naturally, many like Lucian and Lucian also seem to be used to dealing with a woman.
[It doesn't matter about his past. Now he is mine.]
Beside Lucian, Alexandra smiled faintly. Alfo and Marian who happened to be passing by saw Alexandra's little smile and Alfo immediately froze in place, his face pale from seeing the unexpected. It's very different from Marian who even chuckled beside him.
"Wonderful youth. Fufufu..."
The two people who looked radiant left Alfo and Marian. From where Marian stood, she understood why Alexandra chose Lucian as her fiancé.
