Cassian sat on a chair with Caitlin standing beside him like a dutiful maid as he looked at Amaria who is getting ready to dance as she had told him to. Leah is also sitting beside him and there were four others maids in the room as well.
Amaria got ready with her dress as she made sure that she has everything ready for the dance she is about to perform. After all, her little sister will also be there to witness her dance alongside Cassian and the other maids.
Amaria is clothed in a beautiful while dress that showed her body and has a large skirt as well. It has some shining stones embedded in it as she looked it over and smiled as there were lots of embroideries on it as well.
Cassian eyed her and he smiled at how she looks and he can say that she looks really good in that dress. He also saw that Leah is looking at her sister with a bright smile on her face as he smiled at seeing that.
While he does want to take control of Leah and Amaria, that doesn't mean he doesn't care about them. They haven't done anything to gain his ire and he has had good openions of the two of them since the time he has met them.
So seeing Leah looking at her older sister happily is a good thing as far as he is concerned as that means that the two sisters don't have any quarrels or relationship problems between themselves. Which would also be helpful in the long run as the two would be good and supportive to each other as well.
'Of course, I have to make sure of that as well.' Cassian thought to himself as he looked back at the older girl.
So he waited as she made the final preparations for it. He has talked to the maids regarding it and learned that Amaria frequently practiced her dance to make sure that her skills doesn't get degraded due to not practicing.
He looked around at the room in which they are in which is of considerable size and the middle part of it doesn't have anything, while near the walls there are tables, compartments and shelves. Some plants were also there as well and he could see the outside of the first floor through the window.
And this place is also relatively quiet so it is an ideal place for her to practice and polish her dance moves as well. Which is why he smiled when Amaria gave him and the girl sitting beside him a bow before she started to dance.
At first it started slowly as she went through the motions while the audience watched and then slowly she started to get a little faster as she started to twirl around and use various moves to dance beautifully while also moving her body to make her look more beautiful.
She did various motions with her legs and arms as she made a show of doing it as she danced around in a good speed which allowed the audience to follow her movements without any difficulties.
And if Cassian is to be honest, she is a very good dancer as well as she has good body control and is going at a speed which is able to be followed by the average person while also moving her limbs in such a fashion that they could see her body while she moved beautifully and masterful.
He can say that like her sister Lily, Amaria is also a very good dancer as well. Lily is a good painter while Amaria is a good dancer. Whatever the case may be, both sisters are good artists of their own fields.
'Lily's skills can be used commercially and politically. As good paintings will gain the favour of the population to increase her own popularity amongst them. While Amaria can use her dance to draw the common folk in using her beautiful dance and make them love her.' Cassian thought to himself as he looked at the two sisters.
'Not to mention the fact that if they both are together then they will be able to gain much favour and popularity from the common folk we well. Which would be of huge help as a positive reputation will be good for a noble house as the commoners would be on their side and be willing to give their support for them.' Cassian thought to himself as he smiled while watching the dance.
As he thought that he smiled as he saw the dance being performed in front of him. He doesn't spent much time to enjoy things like this as he is usually mostly trying to better himself to make sure that he will be able to survive in this world so this is a rare moment for him.
'Never stop trying to get stronger. This is a world of magic and politics where if I'm not careful I'll either be killed or used as a puppet. If I'm not smart enough then there is no use in this second life I have.' Cassian thought to himself as he watched the dance.
He had no intention of dieing young anyway, at least after he has grown into a certain age then he would have no qualms with dying. And he isn't foolish enough to believe that he is invincible, as even if he has a system, it isn't like the ones which help him grow.
Instead it's like a shop from which he can collect skills, magic and other items. In the end the one who has to polish the skills is himself, so he has to work to grow his skills and other related things.
But he will admit that it does give him an advantage as he will be able to gain a lot of things that he normally wouldn't be able to get ahold of. Of course, the price is something to be worried about as the system charges a lot for skills, but he also doesn't want to be completely dependent on the items given by the system as well.
And he is also a bit thankful for the fact that the system doesn't force him to do any missions as he can grow like how he wants without being bound by it and he has his freedom as well.
'In any case, she is a very good dancer.' Cassian thought to himself as he looked at her with a smile as she finsihed her dance.
She did a graceful bow and then Leah and the maids started to clap for her, though the maids were more restrained compared to the girl. Cassian also clapped his hands to her as Amaria saw this and smiled as she looked at them.
"So, I believe I've shown you how good I am?" Amaria asked as she looked at him.
"Yes, you have great skill Amaria. I'm impressed." Cassian said as he smiled at her and clapped for her.
Amaria wore a satisfied smile when she heard that, but then she became a bit confused when he walked to her and stood in front of her as she looked at him in confusion. The other inhabitants of the room went quiet at that as they wondered what he is about to do.
"Now that I've seen you dance, I really need to have one dance with you." Cassian said to her with a smile on his face.
"You can dance?" Amaria asked him in surprise at that.
"Of course, so do you have any problems with that?" Cassian asked her as he smiled at her.
"Hmph. Of course not. I will show you how good of a dancer I am." Amaria said to him as she looked at him confidently.
'And that works perfectly for me.' Cassian thought to himself as he kept his smile.
"Then shall I have this dance lady Amaria?" Cassian asked her as he raised his right hand.
"Of course, it will be a great experience, I'm sure." Amaria said to him with a respectful tone as she grabbed his hand.
'Alright, time to begin.' Cassian thought to himself as he smiled at the contact.
