9 Chapter 9: Artic Artist
------ Elizabeth Van Panthohime -----
What a terrible headache ...
Being a mother and managing a territory is not easy, especially when you have a male Spirit Fox as a son.
The date of his sixth birthday is approaching and with it, the problems that our family must face.
To begin with, the invitations were received favorably by all the nobles, all of whom sent satisfactory responses that they will attend whatever happens to this birthday.
Although I specify that it was my two sons, they seem to be more interested in Arthur.
I'm not surprised, after all, he is the most beautiful boy in the world.
At first, I wanted to keep Arthur away from this party and use Cristie as a representative.
She is the future Duchess, so she must behave like one and welcome the nobility with style and elegance.
But I couldn't, Arthur, as well as my mother, refused this.
My mother, Margareth Van Panthohime, the former Duchess commented that she would like to see her grandson for the first time and that she was looking forward to the party.
This left my hands tied since even Arthur also wanted to be present, with his presence I am sure that this party will be very lively and problematic since many noblewomen will be present, my son is the greatest treasure of our house, the treasure from the house of a Duchess, I am sure that many of these women will take him home, I cannot allow it, Arthur is still a child, he needs to grow up, adapt to his environment and above all, the guidance and knowledge of how dangerous women are. Women, at home I protect him, however, I cannot say the same abroad.
There are stronger beings than I am outside, I do not doubt that if one of those psychopaths falls in love with my son, she kidnaps him and part of me, I need to be careful and overprotective, not easy to have a man as a son.
But Arthur is too competent, that I will no doubt that he will do something foolish if I deny him this.
"I will allow it on one condition if you become an Arctic Artist ..."
"I will mother! I promise I won't disappoint you!"
My son was so excited when I allowed him to participate in the party that he gave me a huge kiss on the cheek, not knowing exactly that he is an 'Arctic Artist'
For us nobles, it is an obligation to become an Arctic Artist, before turning twelve, well for women it is rather an obligation as for men it is a matter of pride and elegance.
Since it is a tradition of this country, where men will dance on ice, flaunting their elegance and beauty.
While women, you will learn to be able to successfully woo a man, since 99% of the men in this country love to dance.
There are many cases, where a man chooses a woman for being a good dancer.
So it is an obligation for us to be able to dance, however it is difficult to learn this.
Since it requires resistance and magical power to be able to skate on the ice.
That's why I thought Arthur wouldn't learn in time ...
I made a mistake...
"My lady, Mr. Arthur is now an Arctic Artist ..."
When I heard Sofia's report I couldn't help but open my mouth.
I knew it, Arthur is too competent.
With this, I have no excuses for not letting him attend his own party.
But that was not all, as I also heard something even more impressive.
"Miss Cristie is also an Arctic Artist"
Okay, I give up ... I guess he'll have to tighten up security.

Ice skating...
This reminds me of many things, in my past life ice skating was one of my favorite hobbies, the elegance and amount of effort required to ice skating are astronomical.
I still remember that I became a skater, due to one of my dates, a girl with whom I was a boyfriend for a few months, she liked ice skating so much, that to conquer her I learned and hired an instructor who will teach me to ice skating...
It was one of the most difficult sports I played, but also the most elegant of all.
And although that girl also deceived me, the taste for skating did not disappear and I continued practicing at least once a week, it was good entertainment for stress and good muscular exercise.
When I found out that my mother approved that I attend the party, I was very excited, they do not know how tedious it is to be locked in this Mansion for almost 6 years, without being able to go out or have interaction with other people.
The maids are very afraid to approach me and when they do, they are fired the following month.
My sister and my personal maid have a fetish for my tails and the things I can do are limited ...
Apparently, this kind of 'Scent' of a fox that I unconsciously release is a very strong poison for women.
Now I understand why both, Cristie and Alice are somewhat obsessed with my tails.
Only adults can repel this 'Seduction', my mother has told me that it is not my fault, since it is something that our race does unconsciously, but that I should be careful who I approach.
Of course, his words entered one ear and came out the other, I am a child, I don't need to worry about that now.
As for talking to another man, it is impossible, to begin with, there is no other male spirit fox beside me and the elemental fox children, I am very afraid that they flee with my presence alone.
That is why I looked forward to this holiday so much, to release some stress and to meet other races, especially races like the Spirit Tiger and even the Royal family, the Spirit Dragons.
A real Dragon!
Although I am a spiritual Fox, my mind is that of a human from the earth, knowing that these creatures of the legend exist and that I can see them and live with them, I was moved.
And when I found out that the condition is ice skating, I was excited as it is something I can do.
But I was wrong, since unlike the ice skating of my old world, in this world we do not use skates or some other blade, but we use dance shoes as well as magic power, an impulse and to adhere our feet to the ice.
This is very difficult since we must have precise control of our magical power, to adhere to the ice and not slip, in addition, we must coordinate our movements with our magical power, to be able to dance and become an Arctic Artist.
The first week was a pain, as it took me too much to coordinate my movements and my magic power.
However, very soon I found a trick to be able to dance easily because I used my two tails to find a balance.
My tails are an excellent magic emitter that prevents my magic power from getting out of control and its control is smoother, thanks to that, it only took 9 days to be able to skate with ease.
My dance teacher was excited when he saw me, he even called me the fastest to become an Arctic Artist.
But this is not over yet, as even Cristie was influenced by my elegance and asked to be taught.
It was a complete disaster ...
She is terrible at controlling her magic power, she slipped, tripped and even her tail got burned from the ice.
Needless to say, I cried for hours when her beautiful tail fell victim to her own actions.
Yet he still wanted to continue.
"If Big Brother is an Arctic artist, I will be too"
I felt sorry for her, so I taught her ...
Two days later...
She really is bad ...
No matter what she does, she cannot control her magic power with precision, her tail is not enough to keep her magic power balanced and her movements are very rough.
She cried again ...
In the end, I couldn't handle my little sister's crying, so an idea occurred to me.
I used that useless 'Organ' we have, the magic veins, I have been practicing and although it is very pathetic how little magic power I store in those veins, I was still able to put it to good use, because they spread like a system nervous around the body when having contact with Cristie's body, I injected magic power into Cristie's veins and I was able to slightly control her magic power, just like a puppet, I stretched my strings and brought Cristie's magic power to her feet.
It was not easy as the burden of controlling two spirit cores at the same time is great, but it was worth it this is good training that I will use for my next self-defense lesson.
Cristie cried this time, but for happiness.
She had managed to ice skating ...
This moved our teacher even more because he made us dance together as brothers, I did not refuse, since this is the purpose of the party.
A dance by the birthday boys ...
At first, it was rough and we received many injuries, but after a week of practice, we were able to coordinate our movements.
It was beautiful, that Cristie's tail swinging up and down was beautiful ...
But there was another problem, ice skating requires a lot of magic power, Cristie couldn't dance for more than 10 minutes as her magic power ran out.
As for me, I have more magical power than Cristie so I had no problems, but after dancing for more than half an hour, I felt the changes ...
Well, everything comes at a price but I'll make sure to make this dance one where Cristie and I have fun and make it clear that House Van Panthohime doesn't have mediocre kids ...
However ... I'm still looking forward to our party ...
