#Chapter40
So, I contacted Galkin and asked him to teach me poise and dance. Surprisingly, he agreed. And we started. He asked me to stand on one foot in my heels. It ended just the way you might have imagined. I couldn't do it. But he told me that was how he learned. Master your balance at first, then you can balance other things over you.
I will still be surprised to know that Galkin was royalty. He was of a higher position than me. Out of curiosity, I asked him more about it. He had the same stature as me—He wasn't very tall. But he was graceful and elegant.
/"It's mainly because I learnt ballet when I was a kid. In that, I learnt about poise and everything else./" He told me while we were performing the waltz.
/"Does royalty have to learn all that?/" I asked.
/"Yes. We have to learn one classical musical instrument, ballet, waltz, sword fighting, poise, manners, economics and civics./"
/"Where are you from?/" I asked.
/"Siberia./"
