Meet the principal

Claire is wearing a violet dress. The silk dress fits her body closely, revealing her perfect curves. Between her snow-white collarbones is a bright silver pendant. This is an accessory she carries with her. Claire Her long blond hair was tied up behind her head and tied with a ribbon. In fact, originally, there was not much special about this dress, but it matched Claire perfectly and showed off her charm.

"Who is this? I don't think I've seen her in Mercury Scale before." "Perhaps she's a new member?" "Is she alone? Should I invite her to dance?" "Although it's not comparable. Like those mages who use magic to maintain their appearance, but such pure beauty is also rare."

Under the attention of many men, Claire slowly walked over and stood in front of Reiner, and everyone's doubts were explained.

It turned out that she was the one Reiner was waiting for.

Claire didn't know whether it was because of the atmosphere of the party or other reasons, but there was a faint blush on her cheeks. She lowered her eyes and looked at Reiner.

"I, I'm not used to such occasions."

"It suits you quite well."

Reiner reached out and took Claire's right hand, making her raise her head slightly.

"Of course, the buffet table over there may be more suitable for you."

"No, don't make fun of me."

Claire also lost her usual aura and turned her face away slightly, like a bud about to bloom, so delicate and beautiful.

"So."

When Reiner saw Claire's appearance, he also restrained his mischievous mood and lowered his head slightly.

"This lovely lady, would you like to dance with me?"

"I-I'm not very good at dancing."

Claire was still hesitant, but dance music was already playing in the banquet room.

Not all mages only care about magic. Many mages were originally born into noble families, and some have gradually accumulated artistic inspiration in their long lives and turned it into physical objects.

For example, the famous playboy, His Excellency Ludwig Stein, in addition to being famous for his romantic affairs, is also extremely famous for his artistic talents, both in painting and music. It can be said that even without his magical achievements , can be famous throughout the continent just for his art.

The song played now,

It was written by Lord Stein. It is a slow-paced dance music. Legend has it that Lord Stein composed it after he had sex with a noble daughter. It is often played as part of the banquet of mages.

On one side of the banquet hall, a strange band was playing this piece. There was no musician in front of a piano, only black and white keys beating on their own. Behind the piano, there were large violins and various orchestral instruments. It seems to be alive, suspended in mid-air and playing music.

At the end of this band, a mage was waving his hands, controlling the rhythm of the entire band.

On the dance floor in front of the band, men and women are dancing to the rhythm. It is easy to find that some of the dance partners are not skilled in the steps and seem to be out of touch.

Reiner and Claire came to the dance floor. He spread his hands and motioned for Claire to come closer.

"I can't, don't dislike me."

Claire was reluctant, but she still leaned closer. She gently held Reiner's hand with one hand, and put the other hand on his shoulder, while Reiner's hand gently held it. Claire's slender waist, when her palm touched Claire's back, she

Still trembling slightly.

The song just ended, and many people on the dance floor left to take a break, and new people joined them, including Reiner and Claire.

At this extremely close distance, Reiner's breath hit Claire's face, making her heart beat faster. From this angle, she saw Reiner who was different from the past, calm and restrained, like a real elegant gentleman. .

Claire's head, which was a ball of yarn, was still thinking about how to perform the dance steps she saw a long time ago, and the music sounded again.

However, whether it was intentional or accidental, this piece of music was different from the previous soothing one. It seemed more exciting and rhythmic, causing Claire to panic immediately.

"It's okay, I'll teach you, just follow my steps."

Reiner moved with body memory and led Claire into the dance.

"well?"

Claire was extremely panicked for a moment, fearing that she would make the wrong move and step on Reiner, but soon she discovered that her and Reiner's dance seemed to be very harmonious.

The two danced to the rhythm on the dance floor, and the handsome Reiner and the beautiful Claire quickly attracted people's attention.

"I seem to have learned it."

Claire murmured, but she didn't notice the smile on Reiner's lips.

Claire's original dance steps were naturally a mess. If allowed to develop, it would eventually evolve into a wild dance of primitive people. However, on the one hand, Reiner himself has superb dance skills and can guide Claire to move. On the other hand, , he also secretly used the magic he had just developed to encourage Claire. Whenever her steps were wrong, Iain Gray's magic weapon would use a gentle way to stop Claire, allowing her to move naturally. Get on the right pace.

Therefore, even Claire herself did not realize that she was affected, and thought it was her past dancing memories that had revived.

At this moment, the melody entered the chorus. Before Claire could react, she was gently pushed out by Reiner. Then she pulled, spinning and falling into Reiner's arms. Their bodies were close to each other. Together, intimate.

Claire's heart was pounding like a deer, her mind went blank, even her movements seemed to be just instinctive, and she couldn't even remember what the next dance steps were like.

At the end of the song, Claire gasped slightly. Dancing in a long dress was not an easy task. Her cheeks turned red and she looked extremely shy.

There was another soothing interlude, and the people on the dance floor slowed down a little. Claire leaned on Reiner a little helplessly, not caring about her previous shyness.

"Dancing isn't that hard, is it?"

Reiner whispered in Claire's ear, and the warm breath lingered in Claire's ear, giving her a slight tingling feeling, as if she would fall on Reiner the next moment.

"I just want to eat well now."

Claire sighed, looked longingly at the dazzling array of food next door, and swallowed.

The quality of the food at Mercury Balance's dinner will not be any worse. All kinds of rare ingredients are cooked with special techniques, and the aroma is alluring. However, most mages are already a little tired of these foods, and they don't pay much attention to their taste. However, the most popular item at the banquet is red wine.

"Then let's go eat."

Reiner smiled, and then his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Claire, who was originally tired from dancing.
