When Duchess bring everyone attention toward Leon. Duke Wilson asked,"princess is excited,is he that good."
Princess Teressa was a about to answer then everyone heard Duke voice and everyone saw a smile for tiny second on his cold face," yes he is really good "
Listening this everyone surprised because duke rarely praise someone. His praise can only get by extraordinary deeds.
Leon sit on piono table. Take a deep breath. He was nervous first then he used his trait and calm down in few seconds. It's been about four months in this world ,he liked music on earth , but didn't have time for those things ,here he got Leon memories and music talent. Thus sometimes he practiced. After awakening his music improve due to trait.
Leon star to play piono ,it was amazing, everyone mesmerized by those combinations because it was from earth ,he used to listened.
After playing for two minutes,he started to sing,his voice was like melody.
Seeing this Duke become emotional for a second. Leon singing was not his mother level now but it really resembles her singing. This was not unnoticed by Duchess who hold his hand and said in low voice," He is really resembles Luna ,she will be happy by seeing this."
Duke nodded and said nothing.
Song completed but no one clapped.
After some time Ivy and Kia clapped. I didn't expect Kia's clapping looklike she really like music. Soon everyone come out of daze and clapped. After that lot of people praised him then princess Lia came to him.
Leon's pov
I look in princess Lia's eyes ,I was mesmerized for a second due to her charm. She is still child thus her charm is not that strong now but people with same rank and lower rankvto her can't talk to her while looking in her eyes. When she will reach E rank ,she will start to wear special mask,so that she doesn't affect surroundings people with her charm. She will be able to control her charm at B rank completely. In novel she did everything for helping empire in war. She helped progtagnist Leo and his brother Ren to stop the war.
Ren is important character in novel. He and protagnist have almost same level strength. There were best friends and always help each other.
Looking in her eyes I mesmerized for a second. But I used my trait andmy mind become clear. I looked in her eyes directly. This suprised her and she said while smiling,"
You are really good, where did you learn this."
I answered," from my mother."
Listening this ,she doesn't ask anything more.

After listening song
Ivy said excitedly," wow ,brother you looked so handsome, while playing piono."
Listening this lot of girls nodded unconsciously. Lot of boys already feeling jealousy that princess Lia talk to him. Listening this and seeing girls reactions they were full of jealousy. One who can't control his jealousy said," what's good in playing music,he is just a weakling."
Listening this Lina and Jin looked him sharply.
Lina said," you should think before speak he is not some weakling."
Listening this boy didn't backdown,he said,"
How is not he weakling, he only G rank 4 star,at same age us."
Lina replied sarcastically," you who never went to dungeon talking about rank, when we were stuck at dungeon,if he didn't lead me and Jin ,we will not be here. His strength is not in his rank. Don't forget he awakend only 4 month ago."
Hearing this everyone surprised and their evaluation of Leon increased. Party continued. Then it was time for dance. First adult danced with their partners. Duke and Duchess start first after that various couple danced. Soon ,it was time for children to dance. In noble circle, for first dance a gentleman has to ask a lady.
The same jealous boy asked princess Lia but he was denied. While denying him ,princess Lia looked at Leon. He also looked towards her but didn't understand why she was looking at him.
Duchess was looking forward to his children dance so she was looking at them. When she saw Lia looking at Leon she smiled. But soon become disappointed as Leon didn't ask her for dance. Children start to form pairs Lina was asked by Rion. Jin asked bored Sia.
Leon was looking at a lone cold faced girl whom no one dare to approach for dance due to fear of rejection . But Leon knows she also want to dance.
Leon approach Kia with graceful steps. He get on one knee while taking out his right hand toward her and said," lady may I have a dance with you."
Seeing this Kia furst become surprised but giving her hand she said," sure"
Both of them also join stage and start to dance. A handsome boy with blue hair blue eyes and beautiful girl with icy hair. They look perfect pair . When they danced everyone attention toward them. Seeing this princess puffed cheeks and sit down. She was disappointed and that after giving him sign he didn't ask her. But she also thought, " they look good"
Duke, Duchess and count frost were looking dance together. Duchess said,"they looks good , it's hard to find such a pair, should we tie them. I think Leon liked her. He is shy person. He will not ask for dance easily. What do you two think."
Listening this Duke nodded and said," they look good, but its too early for such thing,let them decide what they want."
Listening this Duchess sighed in disappointment but saw count Frost saddened expression. She asked curiously
," What happened Count Frost ,did I say something wrong, why are you making such saddened face."
Listening this Count Frost sighed and said,"
Sorry princess I was thinking about my daughter. Her luck is very bad, I am already happy she decided to dance with someone and for her marriage and social life,I don't have that much hope."
Duchess asked , " what happened Count Frost,why you talking like this."
He answered," my daughter is suffering from cold poison from six year age,if you check her carefully,you will find out she will not be able to live after 25 years age. She is born with high talent,but when she uses her mana she always suffers in pain,she is obsessed for strength to avenge her mother who was assassinated by those evil cultists"
Duchess sighed and said," do you try to find a cure."
"I met every possible person, healing association head,Duke green, Alchemists but no one was able to cure her. Thus I want to request both of you. Please let me meet inventor of Lunar medicine, I researched about this and found from alchemy association that this medicine is totally,a different type of drug. So I have last hope as him. Please help me Duke Kevin ,Princess Teressa."
Saying last sentence Count Frost bow his head as requesting for help. Duke nodded toward Duchess then she said,"don't worry Helena was my best friend. If I can help,I will help. And you will be surprised and happy to meet mysterious drug inventor. Come to manor for lunch next Sunday."
Count Frost said happily," thank you princess, I will be in your debt, even if he somehow can ease her pain ."
Duke and Duchess nodded.
Leon's pov
I take Kia for dance . We looked each other in eyes and start to dance, After sometime she asked," why do ask me for dance,you know princess was looking for a dance with you."
I aked," what princess,when she wanted to dance with me."
She looked at me as I was an Idiot. I continued," I don't know,what are you talking about,but I asked you because you look lonely as someone I knew"
When I say this I can see complex emotions in her eyes. She noticed same emotions from me of loneliness. I was talking about myself Liam Miller who lived his whole life lonely.
I liked Kia most because she reminds me my own life.
I continued with embarrassed face," I thought you will reject my dance offer,but you accepted. Thank you for accepting my offer."
She replied," I accepted because I like your song,I enjoy it so I am thanking you now."
Leon," oh you like music"
Kia," yes music reminds me of my mother."
Listening this I remembered her revenge and her mother's death,this revenge make her die even before her premature death.
I replied," Looklike we are really like, music was the only gift my mother left for me.,"
Listening this she was surprised but didn't say anything. She is always like that at emotional points.
Dance ended and I said," thanks that was a pleasant experience."
She nodded and said," same for me"
I know these words were very difficult to said by her. So I wasn't disappointed.
After that I danced with about 10 girls,who ask a dance with me, I don't want to dance anymore and party was going to end soon so I went toward garden where I found princess Lia looking mesmerizing moon.
