Chapter 23: Dance Lesson

Gentle rays of the sun hit the entire building of main palace, it is almost noon yet everything feels a little cool. It is 11 am and most people are busy doing their own work.

While Violet lead the way, I followed her to the dance room and give a try to dance because I have never been there.

I feel a little nervous because this is the first time in my whole two life since I have the chance to learn to dance properly. Even before I died in my previous life, I never have an opportunity to try this activity. Most of the time, I will just admire dancers or kpop idols from my little phone screen that are already have here and there crack.

In my endless mind, we finally arrived in front of a rather large door. Violet knocked on the door to get a response from whoever was in the room.

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

*...

There seems to be no reply from anyone. So, Violet opened the door and I just followed her from behind.

"Umm... it seems like my teacher hasn't come yet. How about we sit there and wait for a while?" Violet asked turning her body then looking at me.

Out of the blue, someone knocked on the door. Violet ran fast to open the door with a thought that it was her teacher but it is not. It was just a knight who is here to deliver a massenge.

"Greeting to Her highness, Princess Violet and The Demon Lord 1st Commander, Captain Freya. Pardon my rudeness... *ahem this message is from Miss Clavery. She said that Princess Violet can start practice first because she might be a little late due to technical problem with her carriage. Once she arrives, she will test Princess Violet's skills. That's all. I shall excuse myself." The knight said clearly then leave us alone in the room.

*A MOMENT SILENCE

"Alright! I'll be your teacher for the day then." Said Violet broke the silence in the room as she pointed her finger at me and smiled widely.

I just responded with a nod and gave her a warm smile.

"Usually, dancers from the royal family will start the dance until the end of the first song. Then, followed by other nobles in the second song." Said Violet looking up at my face.

Then elegantly, she filled each of her little fingers in my empty finger space and gripped it gently. I just let her do whatever it is. Then, she took my other hand and put it on her slender waist.

She had to look up at my face because of our big height difference. While I stand at 180 cm tall, Violet's height is probably at least 168 cm.

"Should I bend down to look at your angelic face more clearly..." I whispered while bending my body slightly and looked at her beautiful face.

She blushed for a moment and immediately snap out of her thought then, stepped on my feet for a payback and start the lesson again.

"Just follow my lead..." Violet said in a serious tone.

"1...2...3...4..., I want you to count while following the steps earlier." Violet order me.

At first it was a bit difficult for me, so I tried to adapt and soon surprisingly, I was able to follow some of the other dances taught by Violet smoothly and elegantly.

"Wow... you're pretty good in dancing for a knight." Said Violet, making me blush slightly from her praise.

"H-how about we try to dance to a song...?" I suggested to violet as to hide my embarrassment.

"Sure... why not bae?" She said in a lovey dovey mood again as her fingers played with my long finger.

*music start

The room was filled with the sound of classic music and the breeze that brought a cool air to fill the rather hot room from Violet and my breath...

Our dance filled every floor of the room and after the song ended, Violet looking a little tired while holding herself in my arms. I was about to go to lean a kiss on her rosy lips when I heard the sound of someone clapping their hands quite loudly.

*CLAP CLAP CLAP

"Bravo! Princess and who might this tall young knight be...?" She said with a big smile that showed her teeth.

Violet look at the lady that look like she's in her 40's and wearing a light blue dress while I just stood there in confused. To be more detail, the lady has a dark brown hair and hazel eyes. One of her hand held a folding fan and fanned her face which looked amazed and excited.

"Ah! pardon my rudeness young fellow... I am Violet's dance teacher and my given name is Mrs Clavery Ester." said the woman as she bowed her head, I returned the bow by bowing back with a professional smile and introduce myself as well.

"What a splendid and elegant dance move you have here... pardon me but allow be to see you two dance for a few more songs and we can dismiss class for early today since it's getting late." said Miss Clavery as she glancing at her watch.

As time passes by, we were taught many more types of dances and Miss Clavery also corrected some of our dance moves a little. After a few hours, the class was finally over.

'Even in this life, it seems like the teacher won't still change...*sigh they said we're going to study for a while but in the end we ended the class an hour late... anyway what can we do?' I thought in my mind.

We both excused ourselves and went to the room feel our body quit tired.

'*sigh I don't know that dancing can tire both my mind and physical...' I thought in my mind again as we head back to our room.

Violet and I showered together but nothing happened because we were both tired. Violet helped put the ointment on the scar on my body.

What a warm hand...

Then, Violet gave me a kissed me on the forehead while saying good night. She continued to lay herself on the edge of the bed. Not wasting any more time, I slip on a black boxer and a baggy white sleeping t-shirt then lay next to Violet. We continue to sleep peacefully on the comfy bed that night...

To be continue...
