Chapter 101: Embracing the Dance

The hall on the first floor of the Jelanger Tavern is very large, the red carpet extends from the doorway to the second floor, the delicate food is lined up at the tables on both sides, and the drum band opens up the stage in the corner of the hall, which is a place dedicated to the ball.

Tarrant looked at the nobles walking by, he was a little unaccustomed, as if he was an outlier, when someone paid attention to him, Tarrant would subconsciously tidy up his dress, he was worried about making a low-level mistake in etiquette, the gorgeous costumes of the ladies made the brilliance of Katrina next to him be obscured, and the two of them became ordinary members of the ball.

"There are quite a few Cynts," Catrina whispered, "Lynn hasn't come yet." ”

"Maybe he'll show up with the prefects of Wilsing," Tarrant said as he made his way to the table, curious about what dishes would be prepared for the ball, and he took a glass of dummon from the waiter's plate, "I'm starting to get hungry." ”

"That young lady is so beautiful," said Katrina, looking at a girl in a long red dress in the distance.

"Refined wheat bread," Tarrant rolled up two slices, "with Dumu," which he shoved into his mouth, "as good as Stewart's," and he rolled up two more slices.

"Isn't the red pomegranate too bright?" The occasional few men lingered on Katrina, making her a little cramped.

"Of course not, it's good", Tarrant saw a plate of honey-glazed turkey, his stomach inspired.

"Ladies and gentlemen," said a senior on the main podium, holding up his hands to signal silence, and everyone stopped talking and gathered over there, "thank you for being here tonight, for making this city so bright, and I thank you on behalf of Wilsing. ”

There was a brief round of applause in the tavern.

"Our polo team had a great game for us today, they were outstanding", the speaker glanced out of the audience, "Kids, are you all here?"

A few hands were raised in the crowd, "Yes, sir, we're all here.

"I see you", the speaker smiled, "You guys are very good, I'm proud of you." ”

Tarrant paid attention to the people around him, he didn't see Evie, wouldn't she come? There seemed to be very few vigilantes set up at this ball, and a few soldiers were usually seen at grand official banquets, Tarrant looked out the window.

“...... Wilsing is a city in its infancy," the speaker said, extending the conversation from polo to the city, as he elaborated on Wilsing's development...... I hope that friends will pay more attention to this place, and we will build the best estate in Serenzo, where you can enjoy the most secure private territory......"

Tarrant had the urge to yawn, and he suppressed the inappropriate occasion, and analyzing the identities of the nobles around him could help him distract him, and there were about two hundred people from various cities, as well as merchants from other empires.

“...... Have fun again", the speaker finally smiled and saluted, he threw his hand at the band, the musicians who had been prepared began to play, and the ball officially began, and the crowd spread out to the sides to make way for the dance floor in the middle. ~

Tarrant looked down at the glass in his hand, there was still a little wine left in it, he was hesitating, according to the rules of the ball, the first dance had to be invited by the man to accompany the lady, but he had not been to the ball for a long time, and there might be an embarrassing scene, he shook the glass slightly to let the Dumu rise and fall along the wall of the glass.

A couple of young couples begin to dance to soothing music, while single men begin to look for a dance partner.

"Whew-" Tarrant exhaled lightly, as if with great determination, and poured the rest of the wine down his throat, "then...... Beautiful lady ......"

Katrina turned her head and clasped her hands in front of her waist, waiting to be invited, and at that moment she disappeared like those elegant noble ladies, and her inhibitions as a mage disappeared completely.

Tarrant hesitated for a moment, and quickly recalled the dance steps in his mind, "...... Can I invite you to ......"

The graceful arm draped in the veil had been handed to Tarrant.

"Thank you very much," Tarrant said, taking Katrina's hand and kissing it gently on the back of her hand.

The two walked onto the dance floor, close to each other, and Tarrant lowered his head and wrapped one hand around Katrina's waist, "I'm not very good at this......" he pre-explained pre-explained.

"Me too", Katrina leaned slightly towards Tarrant, their palms clasped together, their steps carefully and coordinated, and the dance floor gave them plenty of room to play.

"It's so much better than I expected," Catrina whispered encouraging.

"I'm surprised, too," Tarrant said with all his energy on his toes, even his gaze fixed on the front.

The skirt was like a flower around the ground, the fragrance relieved Tarrant's originally stiff posture, and the temperature from the palm of his hand made him feel the support of the other party, and his rhythm slowly became proficient.

"What do you want?" asked Katrina.

"How do you finish this song? ”

"When you're dancing with a lady, and you're wondering when you're going to finish the dance?"

Tarrant turned his head and met Katrina's gaze, he suddenly realized his stupidity, now it was his and hers dance, even if there were two hundred people dancing together, they only had each other's pupils in each other's eyes, he shouldn't care about other people's eyes, at the moment he just had to devote and enjoy, "Please forgive me." ”

"I hope there will be no more mistakes like this," says Katrina, leading the dance.

"As much as possible. ”

The music gradually subsides, and the first piece nears its end.

Tarrant let go of his hand, he had almost forgotten the details, but it was a beautiful process.

"Let's go, see what's there," Katrina pulled him to the side.

"What a good dance," Evie said directly in front of them, smiling and clapping softly, "I barely recognize you two." ”

"Thank you", Katrina returned the salute.

"Your compliments are too much to bear", Tarrant loosened his neckline, "as a vulgar adventurer on such an occasion as long as it does not cause a joke is enough." ”

"You don't have to think of this as a battlefield", Evie politely raised her glass, "Taste this, Wilsing's master brewer", and the waiter next to her passed the plate, which was a pale cyan wine.

"Mixed wine?" Catrina accepted the glass of Jianyì, a fresh fruity aroma.

"I guess......" Tarrant found a familiar sensation in the smell, "and there was lime in it." ”

"Hehe, you'll be tasting too", Evie nodded, "Lime wine." ”

Same name, same ingredients, if memory serves, this should be Sheryl's creation, Tarrant took a sip carefully, the taste is more delicate and smooth, catering to the corrupt life of the nobility, compared to Tarrant's preference for Sheryl's, simple and simple pleasure.

"It's wonderful," Catrina snorted, "sobering." ”

There was a round of applause at the door, the nobles were greeting an important person, the people in the tavern looked away, and a knight in a white gown took the hand of his female companion and greeted the crowd.

"He's popular," Tarrant asked Evie.

"In every empire," Evie said, putting down her glass, "he is the guest of honor in every empire." ”
