That brings us to today, the day where Ren is visiting to see me perform a little dance based on what I’ve learnt and practiced so far.
Although it was just a mock performance in my own palace without any special clothes or anything, I was still very nervous to perform in front of Ren. Then again, why did I bother learning these dances if I wouldn’t show Ren?
“You don’t have to be so nervous,” Jeely teased me with a small laugh.
We were waiting for Ren’s arrival which could be at any moment now.
“I wish I am as confident as you are,” I replied with a shaky laugh of my own.
A maid came in to announce Ren’s arrival before Ren came into the room. I prayed that he didn’t have such high expectations of me because he would be sorely disappointed. Somehow, I had convinced Jeely to perform the dance along with me. The idea that I had was that if I failed miserably then Ren could always look at Jeely and her beautiful dance instead. Then his trip here wouldn’t be totally wasted.
