The vast majority of people present were clear about the true purpose of this banquet, so at this moment, that man's actions were simply bold in their eyes.

"Who's that guy?"

"I don't know, it seems to be a nobleman from the south."

"With the same black hair as Alicia, I wonder if she is of Roman or Greek descent, or is it East Asian?"

"Is it time to care about blood? Does this native bun from the south know the rules?

Hopefully, Prince Ernst will not be offended by this. ”

People whispered, and for a moment, the man became the focus of the entire banquet venue.

Alicia frowned, and then she smelled a faint smell on the tip of her nose, the smell of ashes from the burning wood in the furnace.

This smell.... Seems to have smelled somewhere before.

She raised her head and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but for some reason, an unknown impulse made her bow slightly.

"Ahem!!"

A woman choked on the drink and coughed violently, and the whole courtyard was even somewhat quiet except for the soft music.

But then, the three princesses were silent for a moment, and as soon as her plain hand was raised, she took the hand of the strange man, and the two of them walked slowly to the center of this courtyard.

After a brief silence.

Although the eyes of the people around them still couldn't help but glance at this side, they also knew that if they kept looking at this place at this moment, it would make the atmosphere even more weird, so they also danced to the music.

It's a simple waltz, it's a hug between the two sides, follow the music you take a step back, I'll go further, Char is more glad that he can, and if it's a minuet or a court dance, it will be a bit of a headache.

In the original history, the popularity of waltzes was opposed and hindered by many reasons and purposes.

In addition to the church saying that it was immoral, uncivilized, and even vulgar and evil because of the close grip of men and women and the rapid rotation of movements, it was also regarded as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh by those who used to make a living by teaching minuet and other court dances.

Waltz is easy to learn and free to learn, attracting a wide range of dancers, who often learn it by watching it for a while. This dance does not need to be like a minuet, where you don't have to master a lot of complex tricks to appear.

At that time, the conservative band, waltz was even hated by many people, feared like a tiger, and even said that it was a kind of love dance.

Of course, with the progress of the times, later, this waltz became "elegant", and in the West at that time, it was actually a very common thing to invite women to dance, but it did have a communicative meaning in it.

The history of this world is not quite the same, but it is clear that waltzes should have been popular earlier.

Char gently grabbed the princess's hand, hugged her waist, and felt the tight muscles through the clothes, obviously, her dance partner was a little cramped, she kept her head down and was silent and pretending to be calm.

Char laughed.

"You can't see with both eyes, but you dance surprisingly well."

The Third Empress was silent for a moment and said, "Music is one of the few pleasures I can enjoy. ”

After a pause, she said, "Have we ever met?" ”

"You also have a good memory," Char applauded.

Alicia recalled, "Was it just out on the street?" ”

"I've never owed favors to people." Char laughed.

"You think it's helping me?"

"Isn't it? You seem impatient with His Royal Highness. Char grabbed her hand and took her around.

"Do you know that he may be my fiancé in the near future?"

"There were two women next to me while I was enjoying my meal, and within fifteen minutes, I knew a lot of gossip about you Britannian nobles."

Char teased.

"For example, I know that the first wife of Duke Panakeva cheated on her guards and seems to have a child."

"Duke Panakeria and the lady are caged birds bound in a cage called the family, unable to decide their own fate.

Their marriage, from the very beginning, was a tragedy. Alicia muttered softly.

She didn't seem to want to continue the topic, but continued what she had said before.

"In that case, you dare to invite me to dance?"

Char smiled, "I think, the measure of this future heir of the West French Empire should not be so small, right?" It's just a dance. ”

"You can look at his face right now."

Char glanced out of the corner of his eye, and he raised his eyebrows.

"He looked like he was going to eat me."

Char's tone was a little ridiculous, and this funny tone made her laugh a little.

But after a pause, she continued.

"Those who can come in to participate in this banquet are either high-ranking officials or nobles, and even, ordinary nobles are not qualified to come in.

But if you're one of them, just outside, you can't have no guards.

Who are you? ”

"I'm a, a wanderer who came in and rubbed the table." Char said.

"The savory cake here is delicious." He commented.

"The pastry chef of the banquet was personally invited by the Duke of Panakya to the palace for this banquet, and few people will pay attention to the food at the banquet, and only he will care about these details."

"Sounds like he's taking this banquet very seriously." Char said.

"yes, after all.... To receive foreign VIPs. Alicia muttered softly.

After a pause, she said, "I'm sorry, I don't know why I agreed to your request and involved you."

I don't know how you got into the banquet, but I advise you to leave quickly after the ball, and leave the imperial capital, otherwise, something bad will happen. ”

"Because I just used magic." Char said calmly.

Naturally, Alicia thought Char was joking, and she laughed, "I did seem to have fallen under magic just now. ”

"You don't seem to like all this." Char stared at her, "Then why.... What if you don't resist? ”

The princess's jaw twitched slightly, and she was silent for a moment before continuing.

"We are all alone on the sea of destiny, unable to control its direction, and can only let the waves rise and fall, leading us to the unknown.

There are things in this world that are destined to be unchangeable.

People always have to learn to accept their fate. ”

There were no ups and downs in Alicia's words, she had long accepted it.

Char smiled, "You look young on the outside, but you are already in your seventies and eighties on the inside. ”

"I just understood all this in advance, and saved a lot of unnecessary time and energy, and everyone can worry."

The music also stopped at this moment, and the people dancing around, including Char and the Three Princesses, stopped, and Char looked at her and continued to speak.

"I'm the opposite."

Alicia raised her head, although the upper half of her face was obscured by the gorgeous mask like a crown, and she couldn't see her expression clearly, but the slightly raised chin could make people see the doubts in her heart.

"I believe that fate is not absolute, and no matter where the waves take us, the light of the next day will come as promised."

Char had a small smile on her face.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Royal Highness.

Remember my name, my name is ....

Char. ”

With that, Alicia could sense the person in front of her let go of her hand, and then, taking a step back, a brief white line slid through her mind.

But also in that moment.

He disappeared.....

Smells, sounds, anything that could detect his presence, disappeared into her world...

"Alicia, are you alright?"

Ernst's voice came from the side, worried and eager.

Alicia didn't answer, just continued to ask.

"Where's the guy I just danced with?"

"I don't know, it seems to have walked into the crowd just now, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye." Ernst said, looking around.

Alicia frowned, but soon, she heard hurried footsteps coming from inside the villa, and the sound of faintly frightened, trembling breathing.

A roar followed.

"No.... Oh no, the Marquis of Oss is gone!! ”
