Chapter-15 : A Dance

Being suddenly pulled, Elena looked at me with a surprised expression.

"You were about to get entangled between those two"

She followed my eyesight and realized that she was about to stumble upon Lucian and Hina.

"Oh! Thank you very much Lord Kai"

She said while we walked back to the corner.

Just as I was looking through the party I noticed my mother who was looking towards me and trying to tell me something.

"Ask her for the dance"

I heard Mother's voice directly in my ears.

It was 'Wind Voice' a magic used for communication for several purposes.

I tried to ignore it but her piercing glare is hitting me hard. If I ignore her any longer then god knows what punishment I will get later.

Anyway it is just a dance.

I am not as stupid as that Lucian to cause any misunderstanding.

"Lady Elena, may I ask you for a dance?"

I asked Elena who had finished her juice and was just looking around.

I made sure to avoid using any flattering words, I just need to get done with it.

"Y-yes, but I am not really good at it"

"Don't worry I will take the lead, it's not much different from 'Wind Dance' after all"

I offered my hand and Elena placed her hand on it.

We walked to the dancing area avoiding other people who were already dancing, especially the prince and the heroine.

Elena said that she's not good at dancing but she doesn't seem that bad in it.

She smoothly followed my lead.

"It's really like riding a 'Gale'"

Elena said with an impressed expression.

But actually it was due to me who has been practicing wind dance for over four years.

It has completely influenced my body movements in everything I do.

I smoothly lead the dance without causing trouble for others unlike prince Lucian and the heroine who aren't that good in this regard.

And just like in the game, the adults also started gathering around the dancing area by now.

Their focus is mainly on Lucian and Hina, who are using most of the space of the dancing area.

Well I kind of completely destroyed the first meeting of the heroine with the other two targets.

She was supposed to meet Ralf when going to clean her dress and being helped by him.

And when she would have been returning, some scum would try to harass her when Jin comes to her rescue.

Now that there is no spoiled dress then there is no meeting with Ralf and after seeing her dancing with the second prince, I don't think anyone will try to harass her.

.....

After that the party went smoothly, but Elena seemed to have started enjoying the dance so it took more time than intended.

After leaving the party, we bid farewell with the Mizo family who returned to their villa in the capital while we returned to the mansion.

I caused a lot of changes in the story but I never intended to follow the original game where I may die.

In short, it all went well.

"You know Kai, there was also that girl in the party whom we met in the circus"

Just as we were getting ready to go to our rooms to sleep, Ian brought a new topic.

Go and sleep already dude!

Of course she would be there, her father is a prestigious alchemist in this city.

"Well, there were lots of people so I didn't notice"

I tried to end the conversation, I want to sleep alright.

"But you know she can talk to plants"

"What?"

That's surprising.

I knew her attribute was Nature but to be able to talk to plants is over the boundary.

"Well, she said only with the plants with some intelligence, most of the plants don't have intelligence"

"And why do you know all this?"

"I saw her talking with a plant, she thought no one would notice since she was talking in a very low voice"

And Ian who has the attribute of Sound noticed.

That makes sense.

If there is really going to be 'The Holy War' of the sequel then all these talents will definitely shine brightly.

Not like it matter to me.

.....

A week later.

We returned to our home a few days ago and are enjoying our tea time while my father is reading the report sent by Uncle Simuka.

"Really, to think that Clive would try to target my family and even the circus was involved in the human trafficking"

Father was astonished after knowing all this, he never disregarded commoners but to think someone from that faction would target us.

It was more of a personal grudge for arresting his son.

Coincidentally that circus was also sponsored by the same person who sent those people.

I am really glad that I took the right action that day, otherwise god knows what would have happened.

Maybe my sense of danger has become stronger because of being hit to death by a truck in my previous life?

"Luckily, nothing bad happened. You will not be going anywhere for some time until clive and his people get arrested"

Mother said with a really serious look.

So I guess I will be staying at home for a while. Let's just practice some defensive magic in the meantime.
