73 – Can Marquis lend her strength for me?

“… ….”

For a moment, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Helena.

No one answered her question easily.

Awkward silence pervades the hall.

And as the silence continued, Helena’s eyes began to twist little by little.

So I quickly broke the silence and opened my mouth.

“… Yes. Of course. It is a great honor to be able to speak with the princess.”

“Thank you. Rail Marquis. And there is no need to be so nervous.”

Are you satisfied with my answer? She smiled softly and nodded her head.

I don’t know why Helena attended the prom.

However, I had to talk to her in moderation in order to relieve her hardened atmosphere.

“I am sorry that I did not recognize the princess in the carriage a while ago.”

“Ah, that job is fine. It’s just that I created such a situation according to my plan.”

“Are you saying that you deliberately stopped the carriage in the middle?”

“Yes.”

I may be disrespectful of her behavior that I can’t understand, but I dare to ask why.

“Why did you bother to stop the wagon midway?”

“Rail Bioland. I wanted to see with my own eyes the man who makes the continent go wild these days.”

“Me, you mean me?”

“Yes.”

I can hear people around me gasping in surprise when I hear that they came to the ballroom to see me in person.

And I was also surprised. Surprised by her unexpected answer, I calmed down and opened my mouth again.

“If you wanted to meet me, the princess would have been comfortable calling me directly to the center. Besides, didn’t you almost suffer a lot from the pack of wolves?”

“If I called the center directly, wouldn’t I have seen the true face of the Marquis? Besides, I can take care of at least one part of my body myself, so I don’t have to worry.”

As she said that, she lightly snapped her right finger.

Just right.

With the sound of her fingers snapping, red magic power bloomed around her.

Then it gradually began to form, and then a flame in the shape of a dragon ascended toward the sky.

I couldn’t help but close my mouth at the magic that was too sophisticated to be called simple flame magic.

“And I also wanted to see for myself why the archmage, who did not teach me and my brothers magic, accepted the marquis as his apprentice.”

Helena waved her hand lightly, and her burning magic vanished in an instant.

I stared blankly at her, Helena, and remembered her little, her ex, the first time I met her in her carriage.

Certainly, from the beginning of her life, there were not one or two things that were strange about her.

Going to the center in a wagon alone in dangerous snowstorm weather.

A sheer red dress that doesn’t match the weather.

And despite the presence of the archmage and the saint, her eyes looked more interested than confused.

In the carriage, there were only those who were proficient in swords and magic, so they weren’t too wary, but they didn’t notice the fact that she was a princess.

No. Wouldn’t Fenia, who visited the imperial family even more recently, recognize Helena at once?

When I turned her head to look at Fenia, asking why, she let out a short sigh and opened her mouth.

“That kid secretly asked me to pretend I didn’t know, so I couldn’t help it either.”

It was so disrespectful to dare to use the title of her little one to her princess that it could be immediately executed, but Helena seemed accustomed to such a title, and she said nothing.

She bowed her head slightly as if to thank Fenaa for doing her favor.

“So how was it? Little princess. Did you check everything you want to check?”

Helena did not immediately answer Fenia’s question.

Then she turned her head to look at me for a moment and then she slowly opened her mouth.

“As rumor has it, the way he helps others without caring about his status and the way he applies magic that only porters use is quite interesting.”

With that said, she put her hand on her chin, as if watching a beast at a zoo, and looked at me curiously.

Just when she was at a loss as to how to respond to the unexpected compliment and her burdensome gaze, Jeran held her microphone in her hand.

“Ha ha ha! It seems that everyone has had a lot of friendly conversations, so let’s start the dance party, the flower of the prom!”

At the same time as Jeran’s words, the orchestra, which has finished preparations, starts playing the song.

Then, those who were talking while building friendships stopped talking and got up from their seats.

In addition, I suggest that you walk toward a person of the opposite s*x you want to become more friendly with or that you are attracted to and kneel down to dance.

Yi-sung smiled and nodded her head, and the two started dancing to the music resonating in the hall.

One by one, more and more people began to find their mates and start dancing, and I watched them in a daze.

‘I didn’t promote dancing last year… ….’

To be precise, it would be more appropriate to say that there was no one to dance to.

At the last ball there were Elise and Fenia,

Ellis, who was particularly reluctant to socialize with others, she hated dancing.

Fenia first learned about it while fighting Aron, and it was unimaginable that her great mage could dance her dance.

And this time, too, there is no one to dance with.

In the first place, I didn’t hate dancing itself.

When I was in middle school, I remember watching hyungs dancing wonderfully on the Internet and dancing accordingly.

Dancing suited my aptitude more than I thought, and I practiced dancing quite often until I went up to high school because I was sweaty enough to exercise.

If you think about it now, it’s a bit like a dark history that you don’t want to recall.

It was the moment I watched the people dancing to the music.

Kikik. Excited. Thud.

Eris and Iris, who were sitting at the table, got up at the same time.

And the two look at me to see if they have anything to say.

“That, that… ….”

However, Iris and Elise seemed to have something to say to me, but for some reason they opened and closed their mouths with slightly flushed faces.

Meanwhile, Chloe, who had been watching the scene with a smile, got up from her seat.

“Rail. We’re engaged to each other and we’re going to be married later, aren’t we?”

“…… For now, it is.”

I didn’t want to admit it, but since I was still engaged to her, I nodded her head calmly.

Then she puts her ring on her left hand towards me.

“So we can dance together at the ball, dance… ….”

Chloe’s voice, which continued naturally, cut off a bit at the end.

I think he said something, but I couldn’t hear exactly what he said.

“What did you say? Chloe.”

“That, so dancing together at the ball… ….”

But still, I couldn’t hear her voice even though she was right next to me.

It seemed that her voice was drowned out by the music of the concert.

“I can’t hear well because of the sound of the performance.”

As I said that, I brought her face closer to her mouth to listen closely to Chloe’s words.

“Huh? It seems so close…… !”

But Chloe blushed at her, like Iris and Elise, and finally bit her mouth shut.

As I was tilting my head at the incomprehensible appearance of the three, someone put a hand on my shoulder.

The size of his hands was quite small and slender.

But those little hands contained enough warmth to warm them up.

When I turned my head, Helena’s golden eyes were looking at me.

She whispered, putting her face towards me so I could hear her voice.

“Will you dance with me?”

At Helena’s unexpected request for a dance, the three stood up and looked at Helena with disbelief on their faces.

And not only them, but also those who were dancing to the music, stop for a moment and look at us.

They weren’t the only ones who stopped moving.

Among those who were playing, some of them involuntarily stopped playing for a while.

A situation where everyone’s eyes were focused on me.

In the end, pushed by the atmosphere, I gave her a small nod and held her hand.

“Although it is not enough, please take good care of it.”

In this way, the performance resumed, and those who stopped their feet started dancing again.

But they couldn’t concentrate on their dance like before.

It’s no wonder that the one who was once called a fool is dancing with the princess, one of the candidates for the next emperor, so it’s worth looking away without even realizing it.

But as if Helena didn’t care about that gaze, she took my hand and started stepping naturally to the music.

I had never danced like a waltz before, but I danced as convincingly as possible according to the surroundings and Helena’s staff.

Fortunately, the more I danced to the performance, the more stable my posture changed little by little.

Of course, thanks to Helena for leading me to dance naturally.

Seeing my unstable dance like that, Helena opened her mouth for the first time.

While she was dancing with her utmost care not to harm her as much as possible, Helena opened her mouth for the first time.

“Contrary to what it looks like, you dance pretty well.”

“… Thank you for the compliment.”

I didn’t know if she was serious, but I answered her as positively as possible.

“You must have been quite taken aback when I asked the Marquis to dance. But the reason I invited the Marquis to dance is because I have something else to say.”

“Something to say”

“… ….”

Helena did not immediately open her mouth to my question.

‘Why aren’t you talking all of a sudden?’

As she wondered why she kept her mouth shut, she felt the music playing then come to an end.

Then, as she turned her head, the men who were dancing grabbed her by the waist and began to gently hug her.

It was at that moment when I saw that and with miraculous reflexes I was about to put my hand on her waist.

“Huh?”

Her foot, which was stepping on her step as she stretched out her arm, began to twist.

I would normally easily balance my body, but my body doesn’t move the way I want because of the stuffy suit.

Just when she lost her balance and was about to fall toward her Helena,

Helena took a light step back.

Then she stretches out her hand flexibly and gently pulls on my tie.

With her free hand wrapped around my waist, Helena took the position I should have taken instead.

Helena’s face and her face are closer than ever.

And her face comes closer and closer to mine.

Helena’s face brushed my cheek and I put her mouth to her ear.

And whispered in a small voice that only I could hear.

“The elves in the center began to appear little by little. Can the Marquis lend your strength for me?”
