Chapter 149: Dance Partner
As night fell, Class VIII., who had finished the dinner, walked out of the women's college, accompanied by Elyse. In front of the gate, Rien stopped.
"Thank you for coming to see us off, but I didn't expect Elyse and Her Royal Highness to be good friends."
βγγγ I don't want to care about her. Elyse seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and muttered, "Hey, how serious is the princess... β
"That... Elyse? β
Ignoring Li En, Elyse took a few steps forward towards everyone and bowed slightly, "Thank you very much." Please be careful on the way back. β
"Ahh
"Sure enough, I'm hated." Looking at Elyse, who no longer accosted Rien and walked straight into the academy after receiving everyone's reply, Jusis spoke.
"After all, that's what happened." Emma answered.
γγγγγγ
At the end of the dinner, when the serious conversation was over, and everyone was concentrating on the food, the Empress Elfin suddenly spoke.
"-By the way, actually, I have one more thing to ask Mr. Rien."
"Huh?"
"Princess, princess?!" Elyse, who had something wrong on her face, said in a panic.
"Oh? Is that the thing? Olivet's eyes flashed.
"That's right." Empress Elfin nodded, "βTomorrow, on the first day of the Midsummer Festival, I will attend the garden party hosted by the Imperial Capital Hall, and I will be invited by Mr. Macias's father to participate. β
"The garden party is ... What about an event held in the Crystal Garden of Our Lady Park? β
"Well, I've got a request." The Empress Elfin clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture, "I would like to ask Mr. Rien to be my dance partner. β
βοΌοΌοΌβ
"Thisβthis represents."
"Heβwhat does he mean by the possibility of becoming the future husband of Her Royal Highness?!"
"AlthoughγAlthough it should be the speculation of the media at the time...
"Oh~ Looks like a lot of fun."
"Instructor Ike (Ike), don't make any more trouble!"
"Please, please wait a minute!" Looking at the crowd who were caught in whispers, Li En said in a panic, "That, that's too much responsibility for me. β
"Hehe, there's no such thing." Empress Alfin replied with a smile, "Although it is a baron, the family background of the Shu Huaze family is also quite related to the royal family... It would be rude to say that, but I don't think it's controversial to ask Mr. Jusses. β
"I see... That's true. Jusis nodded. Still, I think this is quite an interesting choice. β
"You, Jusis..." Li En turned his head in a panic, "That, my dancing skills are not good, and I really can't be His Highness's dance partner... β
"Oops? I've heard from Elyse that you've been working as Elyse's practice dance partner? You should be able to handle most of the dance partners with ease, right? Elphin said, his face suddenly lowered his head a little sadly, "That's right, it's really too much to make this request suddenly, and Mr. Lane won't be interested in me as a little girl." β
"No, how could it be" Lane hurriedly shook his head in denial.
"It's getting more and more interesting. How about you promise Lane? Dancing with princesses is not something you can do very often. Ike chimed in.
"That's right, it's rare for my sister to be so proactive." Olivet agreed.
"Instructor Ike?! And His Highness Olivet! β
"Do you already have a sweetheart? Or is it ... Do you already have someone to date with? Elfin, who hung his head, looked at Rien, who was speechless, and suddenly spoke.
"Ahem!!"
"Laura-san?! Are you alright?! β
"No, I just accidentally choked on the water." Laura, who took the wipe, replied intermittently, covering most of her cheeks with the wipe, but her eyes were staring straight at Riene.
βγγγ Hehe,ββ I understand, then 'this time' I'll give up first." Looking at the silent Lane, the princess of Alfin replied helplessly, "However, next year, Ling Mei and I will both turn 16 - and we will officially step into the social world at that time." I'd be happy if you could think about it. β
γγγγγγ
"It's really enviable, I didn't expect the princess to like you so much." Seeing ElysΓ©e walk into the academy, Ike replied by patting Rien on the shoulder
"Hmph, wouldn't it be good to just say yes, even if it's a joke at the time, it may be a fake show in the future?" Jusis answered.
"No, it can't be." Rien waved her hand, "I guess she's just interested in her friend's brother." It felt like she wasn't serious, she was just trying to tease me and my sister. β
"It's hard to say." Ike shrugged, "It's impossible for the young princess's first dance partner to be too formal, if you agree now, maybe it's just like what Yusis said, maybe it's really a fake show, the princess's son-in-law, tsk." β
"Please don't fall into strange fantasies as instructors." Alyssa unceremoniously gave a hand knife.
"However, that person is actually the planner of Class VIII....
"I always feel like I know a lot of information."
"It's not like some instructor pretending to be mysterious in front of us every day."
"Hey, you can't blame me." Ike argued, "If I break the agreement, I'll have my wages deducted." β
"And what about the truth?"
"It's too much trouble to say."
"Is that really because of this?!"
"Alright, Arissa, and Instructor Ike." Emma interjected, "It's not getting early now, let's go back first, it's not good to gather at the gate of the women's college." β
"That's right." Ike pointed to the slope to the side, "But it seems that someone has already come to pick it up." β
"Judging by your statements, it seems that my past has also been dug up by them?" At the bottom of the slope, Sarah walked up a little helplessly and replied, "It seems that the charm of the mysterious big sister has also decreased." β
"Tsk, it's so thick-skinned, has this kind of thing ever existed at all?" Ike scoffed.
"That's right, that's right." Fei answered approvingly.
"What are you two talking about?"
"It's time for someone behind you to come out of the way than these inconsequential things." Ike glanced at the slope in the corner of his sight, and Claire walked up from below.
"What an amazing combination, I remember you guys didn't deal with it all the time? No, Miss Captain seems to have been at odds with the guerrillas. Ike teased.
"That's just your bias." Claire replied with a blank face.
"I don't want to." Sarah was a little helpless, "I'll send a message for Your Excellency the Chief, and tomorrow's internship topic will be reserved for the time being." Instead, you seem to need to help this big sister do something sneaky. β
"Please don't say anything misleading!" Claire replied with a smile, looked at the puzzled crowd with a headache, and gently pressed the signal. Moments later, two guided cars stopped at the very bottom of the ramp.
"So, please get on the train, and I'll explain the details to you in the command room at Heimdall Central Station."
