Chapter 32 Entrance Ceremony
The dance teacher that Madame Leonie hired for Allen was a lady with graceful manners and a kind character.
As the siblings were clearly paired together when they practiced at home, Alan was naturally left alone, and the governess volunteered to be his dance partner.
Although Lady Cora was not as tall as Elena, she was still an "elder" to Alan at that time.
It was not uncommon for female companions to be taller than men at the balls of the aristocracy. This gap will be even more pronounced when the woman insists on wearing "combat boots" in order to make herself look slimmer.
At this time, men can also use some kind of universal props to make themselves "look" more burly, but this increase can never catch up with the miracle effect of high heels.
Lady Cora once gently "enlightened" Allen: "Dance is a beautiful art, and you should seek grace, not height." So even if your partner is more slender than you, if you can master enough technique and give the dance enough emotion, you can completely ignore the other factors and only care about you. β
In other words, height is not important, the main thing is temperament!
If Alan now meets that kind lady again, he will definitely ask her:
- If a person's "female" companion is more than 30 centimeters taller than himself, how should he maintain his demeanor and temperament?!!!
Since His Royal Highness Salvin cordially said that he could "lend" his eldest son to Allen as a practice object, His Royal Highness the Prince himself felt that it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, and after everyone cleared the little tiger, they put an antique gramophone in the living room.
His Royal Highness sat on the sofa next to him with his youngest son, who would become very well-behaved in the presence of his father, while Alan and Kyle stood face to face in the center of the living room, speechless.
After a moment of silence, His Highness Kyle said "Let's start" lightly, and finally called Allen, whose head was blank, back from outer space.
He glanced at the crowd of onlookers next to him with his spare eyesβone looked relaxed and had a smile on his face; One with a crooked little head and eyes full of curiosity, in short, no one could understand his current predicament.
Alan could only raise his head and smile weakly, and bowed when he sent out the invitation, "salute first and then soldier" and said: "I'm going to trouble you, Your Highness, I forgot my dancing steps a little, if there is anything wrong later, you can take care of it!" β
In fact, when he didn't know how many times he kissed each other, oh no, it was his feet who didn't know how many times he "kissed" each other's feet, Alan trembled and prayed that His Royal Highness Kyle could be like Lady Cora, who could still grit his teeth and maintain a smile and demeanor after being trampled on his swollen toes!
And the prince himself didn't seem to care too much about this, he was flat, quietly accepted the dance partner's red-faced apologies again and again, and didn't even need the "man" to deliberately bring it, he pressed against Allen's chest, and with a height of nearly two meters, he jumped out of the feeling of being a birdie (no!). οΌγ
Perhaps it was Kyle's serious and indifferent attitude that infected Allen, and gradually, he was no longer so nervous and at a loss.
With romantic classical dance music in their ears and pleasing dance partners in front of them, they swirled and rotated in the center of the living room, only to feel an inexplicable heat from the overlapping hands of the two, which made people's hearts beat.
The little tiger obediently sat on Prince Salwin's lap, carefully observing the interaction between Alan and his brother, and suddenly felt that the adult was very strange.
- If it had been so close to Allen, it would have been able to ask for a kiss a long time ago! What are you doing in a spicy circle? Boring!
His Royal Highness Kyle is naturally not as "active" as his younger brother, as long as he looks at each other with deep eyes, he can make people indulge in that blue sea, and gradually fall, unable to extricate himself.
Of course, the premise is that he has a younger brother who can be a good baby quietly.
More than half an hour passed, and the little tiger began to twist his little ass in a small way - if it was not sitting on Prince Salvin's knee at this moment, but on the knee of Emperor Beckwell, it probably wouldn't want to stay even a minute!
(Beckwell the Great: /(tot)
Salvin soon noticed the little son's small movements, he gently pinched the little one's ear, and muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "I don't know which of you will be able to rob anyone in the future." β
A gentle father didn't know what came to mind, and he laughed in his heart, he patted his son's little buttocks, and whispered, "It's been long enough to borrow tonight, go ahead." β
The little tiger didn't understand what Salvin said at this time, let alone who borrowed whom, it only knew that his father signaled that he could "move freely"!
It jumped off Salvin's knee with a whimper, and ran toward Alan and his brother.
The reason why the pas de deux is called a pas de deux is because it is easy to operate when there are only two people, and when the third person (tiger) joins, the formation is quickly destroyed, and the first practice time is completely over.
Alan picked up the little chubby mound and took it to the couch to play games, Prince Salvin was still on official business, and did not continue to participate in their next activities, and His Royal Highness left with him.
The moment he walked out of the room, he glanced back at the boy who was giving his finger to play with the little tiger, and Kyle silently clenched his right hand.

The exciting entrance ceremony took place on this morning.
Although he knew that Prince Salvin would also appear at the Academy, and that Alan had been living in the main castle for the past two days, this day was so important to the three Alan siblings that Major General Rolf still took leave to come to the Royal Academy to watch the ceremony.
The entrance ceremony, for a group of sixteen-year-old boys and girls, is like a rite of passage to mark adulthood.
Unlike the coming-of-age ceremony that the family holds for them, this time, they will come out of their respective homes, out of the shadow of their parents, out of their young and ignorant childhood, and start a new journey, either smoothly or with difficulties.
As soon as you start to learn to face it yourself, you have to bear it yourself!
But sometimes, you still desperately want to be accompanied by your parents, even if it's just a distant gaze, can calm your heart.
It's a pity that there are too many parents who come to watch the ceremony, and even if he turns on the "Soul Vision" ability, Alan can't find his uncle's wolf-shaped "soul appearance" that doesn't often appear from the "animal world" on the viewing platform.
With some disappointment, he withdrew his gaze and turned to the podium, which was only a few people.
As is customary, after the dean announces the commencement of the ceremony, representatives of the Board of Trustees, representatives of freshmen and representatives of senior students will give speeches on stage. This year, it is a great honor for the college to have Prince Salvin himself to deliver a speech.
The former emperor and marshal has always been an idol and spiritual leader in the hearts of many, and his appearance immediately ignited the atmosphere of the scene, and the cheers and applause rose higher and higher.
Unlike His Royal Highness Salvin in private, the prince on the stage appears more majestic and noble, which can only be looked up to and worshipped.
And those who are kind, gentle, and meticulous seem to have an illusion just because they are too close
With Prince Salvin's "Jewel" in front, the speech of the school director in the back was very clean and neat, but it was favored by everyone.
The freshman representative is one of the three S-class students, Baierd Sterling, he comes from a famous family, will study in the mecha manufacturing department, in addition to the super high genetic level, this teenager has another notable thing - his teacher is one of the top mecha masters of our time, Mr. Barnett.
So before entering the school, he was already famous.
Baird has the rigorous and calm temperament of the Sterling family, which is easy to attract the attention of young boys and girls, so he has gained countless fans after a speech.
Next to Allen sat one of his female classmates, a lady who really loved history, and when a delicate "wail" sounded around her, she remained motionless and unmoved.
Just when Alan thought she would stay in this state until the end, Shirley's eyes changed when she looked at the podium, and even her breathing became rapid.
The people around them began to talk about it.
"Oh my God, who's that senior representative?"
"You don't even know that?! He's Arthur Atfield! β
Atfield, one of the five Samuel families, is a low-key family that can't keep a low profile. Because the younger brother of their current patriarch is the youngest high priest in history, Elijah Atfield.
This family, which is famous for its high-level pharmacists, has a tendency to "purify" spiritual power almost one in two members, and this probability of nearly one in two is still a miracle that many people want to explore the cause.
However, in a certain year, the patriarch's second son showed a trend of "beastification" of spiritual power, and then he became the first student in the comprehensive ranking of the mecha department of the Imperial Royal Academy.
Arthur Atfield is destined to become another name to be remembered by everyone after the High Priest.
Prince Salvin looked at this somewhat familiar side face and couldn't help but think of a conversation he had with Elijah before.
"This boy has been with me since he was a child, growing up in Abna, but sometimes I can't understand him."
Elijah, the human heart is so complex and changeable, how can you possibly understand everyone? It may be that you cherish this child too much, so you pay close attention to his every move, but it confuses your eyes. β
"It's a very strange feeling, it's like a person standing on a cliff, but I don't know that it's the abyss, I always feel worried, maybe you're right, I love him too much, so I'm a little nervous."
At this time, Alan looked at the handsome young man on the rostrum, and silently exclaimed in his heart - it's him!
