The Rhine's aristocratic ball is usually held in the evening, and the formal dinner will start about an hour later. Guests attending the ball should arrive no later than half an hour before the ball, and after arriving. Then you can step onto the dance floor and dance together with the agreed dance partner.

  When the meal time is up, the attendants will carefully serve the food plate by plate and cart by cart, allowing you to choose your favorite food in the form of a buffet.

   What is about to usher in now is the first half of the dance time.

  As one of the guests, Lynn was naturally unavoidable.

  The woman next to him was still pestering him, but he didn't want to talk to her very much, he just looked around.

  With the entry of the host, some of the supplementary lights on the huge dome began to go out one by one, preparing to set up the stage for the dance together with the classical band that had already set up a pose on the high platform.

  When the elegant and graceful waltz officially sounded, the dance officially started.

   "Hey, little guy." The woman felt unwilling, and decided to ask the other party for the last time, "What if you"

"you are annoying."

   Lynn finally expressed his emotions clearly.

  He turned his head to the side coldly, and a few strands of ice cold faintly seeped out of his pupils.

  “.”

  Holiana's body froze suddenly.

She took a few steps back in a hurry, and the movement was so big that the wine in the glass couldn't stabilize, it splashed on her pale, powdered cheeks, and soon mixed into the carpet with a color that didn't belong to it .

   Subconsciously covering her face, Holiana squeezed the wine glass tightly.

  You were actually frightened by a child?

   "Bastard! How dare you talk to me like that!"

"Ah."

  Lin En was too lazy to focus on the woman.

  At this moment, she wanted to scream and angrily, but because she was afraid that she would make too much noise and disturb others, she looked like a red-nosed clown full of contradictions.

   Lynn doesn't really want to have fun now, so he has no interest in clowns.

"you"

  Being ignored is obviously more likely to break a person who has no ability and wants to express himself than being insulted.

  However, just when Holiana was about to pour all the red wine in her hand at this ignorant boy in one go, she suddenly caught a glimpse of someone walking towards her not far away.

  With almost the focus of the audience, she stepped across the road that everyone spontaneously gave way to her, and then stood still in front of the boy under the eyes of everyone, and stretched out her white-gloved hand towards him.

   "Would you like to ask me to dance?"

  Holiana's eyes froze.

Compared with a woman who can bluff and show her minions by virtue of her surname, this girl seems to be the queen who really controls power. She doesn't need to do anything to charm anyone, and others will naturally be willing to follow her pace. Even if her words sound like she is asking questions, everyone can tell that the queen never questions what she is bound to achieve.

   For a moment, Holiana felt that the gap between herself and the girl with the same surname opposite her was as huge as that of a dog and a royal pet.

  The palm of the hand holding the wine glass increased a little more strength, and Holiana turned her gaze to Lynn who hadn't accepted the invitation immediately. At this moment, she suddenly understood why the other party was so confident.

   Co-authored, I really became a clown.

   Reject her, reject her!

  The woman cursed viciously in her heart, hoping that they could become a common species, but there is almost no magic in the world that can change the species of a creature, and her curse is meaningless.

"certainly."

  Lin En smiled and held the girl's slender hand. Although it was not the first time, he still felt that the temperature of this palm was a bit too high.

  The two walked to the dance floor hand in hand, and all the eyes around them were "surprised" and "shocked".

   "Who is this guy? Does anyone know him?"

   "I know, he is."

   "How can this kind of guy appear at our banquet!"

   A murmur of questioning and even faint anger came into the ears of Lynn and Corinna, but neither of them had any reaction to these words.

  They only talk to each other about their two topics in a voice that only the other party can hear.

   "I thought you'd wait until most people were in."

   "Huh? You think that way you don't have to be noticed?"

   "No, I just think that during that time, it should be enough for you to struggle and let go of your reserve to come to me."

  ". I don't seem to have said that I will definitely invite you to dance? Are you so sure that I can come to you? Or the first dance?"

   "Well, if you don't come, then I can only assume that I guessed wrong."

   "Huh? It's that simple?"

   "Don't worry, I won't stab you from time to time or trip you up in follow-up matters."

"Oh." Corinna curled her lips, not trusting at all, "Even if you don't get involved in these matters, you will make up for it from other places. In short, it won't make me feel better, after all, it's out of your plan take control"

"No."

  Lin En suddenly turned his head and said very seriously: "I'm serious."

"The reason why I feel that you will come to invite me to dance, or the first dance, is because I know that you will not bear to see me huddled in the corner alone because I was not invited-you are not a will He who neglects his friends."

  “.”

   Corinna's footsteps suddenly slowed down a beat, and she almost didn't fall.

   Fortunately, years of exercise gave her a good balance ability, and she regained her stability after shaking her lower body.

   "Friends?" There was disbelief hidden in the trembling in her voice, "You still consider me a friend. No, you are actually willing to treat others as 'friends'?!"

   "I don't believe it, even if I'm killed."

  “.”

  Lin En didn't speak, but turned his head sideways, smiled at her, and looked forward again.

  “.”

  Seeing his silent appearance, Corinna suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of sadness flooding from him.

  She suddenly felt that she had said something wrong.

   But looking at Lin En's appearance, she wondered if the other party was using this "let her guess" performance method to tease herself.

asshole! Did you say something! !

  This kind of person who only speaks half of the words is really damned! !

   Corinna began to exert force on her palm angrily, but soon let go because she was afraid of excessive force.

  I'm such a bully. She thought sadly.

   Sighed, and secretly glanced at the boy's side face, Corinna hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Then what. Actually, it was my father who asked me to come to you."

   "Your father, so that's the case." Lynn replied as if he had expected it.

   "Did you guess again?"

"You don't need to guess, because this is something that is bound to happen." Lynn said softly, "Actually, when you pulled me into the camp that your family belongs to, the Lord Duke should see me, whether you want to To test my loyalty, or to test my courage or other aspects, as the leader of the ship Christine, he should come to meet my new crew member."

"However, probably because of what happened next, he devoted his energy to other places, and almost forgot that I was such an inconspicuous existence. Now that he has the opportunity to think about it, he naturally wants to see what I am species of 'ants'."

   "." Corinna was silent for a moment, and said, "What do you want to do next, I will cooperate with you."

   "Well?" Lynn blinked at the girl, "Why don't you ask the band to play "Elizabeth"?"

"Um?!"

   Corinna's reaction was a bit shocking.

  The "Elizabeth" that Lynn mentioned actually refers to a dance song called "Triumph".

   That was the first and only female emperor in the history of Xinghui. In her hands, the Xinghui Empire reached its true peak.

  According to the legend [under the leadership of Emperor Elizabeth, after the sun sets from the west coast of the empire, it will rise from the east coast without stopping. At this time, the sky is full of stars and the sun never sets. 】

  After that, when Queen Elizabeth was in her twilight years, the empire turned from prosperity to decline, and has been declining until now. If it wasn't for the great business, it would have been over.

  However, although the decline began with the queen, it cannot erase her contribution to the empire and even all mankind, so many stories or bards will use this legendary queen as a blueprint to create new stories.

  And "Triumph" is one of the best works.

Its tone is peaceful, and it will soon fall into a trough, like announcing to the soldiers that the situation of the empire is not optimistic before the mobilization meeting, but soon, the tune of this song will be higher and higher, and it will directly defeat the opponent. Return home with glory and reach the true pinnacle.

   Then, just like everyone doesn’t like tragedies, the song will end at the highest moment, so that everyone will forget what will happen afterwards, so that the excitement of the peak will remain in the hearts of everyone, with endless aftertaste.

Corinna knew this song because it was also one of the classical dance songs that Corinna had to learn in etiquette, but the reason why she showed such a shocked expression was because it was a song mainly performed by the woman. dance music.

  Of course, if you want to change the role, it is not impossible, but the problem is that the dance of this song is as proud and public as it is.

  Now at this time, do you still want to be so ostentatious?

   This is where she hesitated.

   After a moment of silence, Corinna finally chose to believe in Lynn.

  She called the valet and asked him to tell the band to change the tune.

  So now this dance song, which has ended before reaching the climax, is replaced by "Queen".

  For the temporary change of dance music, the surrounding nobles with rich experience in dancing have long been used to it. The only thing they want to know is who will show their edge again.

  If this person is suitable, they don't mind being a green leaf in a dance that they are not good at.

  Then, they discovered that they might.

  Not even a green leaf.

  Because, not qualified enough.

  When the dance music just started, the boy just stood there quietly.

  He was wearing a black suit of the same color as the people around him, as if he was no different from anyone else, but the moment the dance music sounded, an aura like steel and flames began to burn.

   Someone once said that every word and deed of a person reveals the way a person behaves, and dance, as a form of art performance, can more fully interpret this feeling.

  In the cowardly person, people can see his staggering dance steps and twinkling eyes; in the domineering person, they can see the movement of the dog grabbing the dance partner's waist and even trying to control his steps.

  However, this way of judging people fell on Lynn, and suddenly it didn't work.

  People can only feel the raging flames on his body, as if the queen in the music is really incarnated, lashing out at Fang Qiu's boundless and unstoppable army.

  The boy at this moment seems to be born to interpret what "majesty" is.

  However, this is only the beginning of the music.

  The young man stepped on the low-pitched music and let it run all the way to the heights. When the real excitement of the music came, the sound of countless heavy drums resounded throughout the banquet hall.

  【Boom! Boom! Boom! ! 】

  Under these skilled drummers, the heavy drum seems to be a real war drum, and every sound is like the roar of soldiers.

  But when it passed to the young man, his movements suddenly calmed down again, as if unmoved, as if... these are what he should see.

  Is that so?

   No, it's not.

   As the tune continues to rise, people get it.

  The gallop of thousands of horses and horses has passed, and now is the time for triumph.

   That is the lightning and thunder that tears apart the era, the steel war hammer that crushes other races, and the surging cheers of all human beings!

   And these belong to him.

The dance music should have ended at the most exciting moment, and the last movement was a solemn footstep on the ground like an oath, but on the boy's body, just like the beginning of the adaptation, he moved the low-key to the end, using the girl spinning in his hands , ended the dance quietly.

  The well-dressed gentlemen subconsciously looked at the boy's face and his calm eyes, as if they understood something.

  【I laid down the world for you, this is what I should do and like to do as a soldier and leader. As for whether you like it or not, it's up to you. 】

   "Goddess above—"

  The Duke took a stiff sip of his wine to hide the beating of his heart.

  He swore that this was the most powerful performance he had ever seen in his life, and the way it ended was really unexpected.

   This kid is really interesting.

  Perhaps it was the long silence that made some people feel a little uncomfortable. Soon, some people who didn't know the truth but thought the performance was good applauded.

   Immediately, one after another, one piece after another, applause covered the entire banquet hall.

  The performer who got the audience's response was finally able to straighten up again and leave the stage.

   On the way to leave the dance floor together, Corinna turned her head to look at Lynn, and suddenly laughed.

   "Huh? What's the matter?" Lynn asked a little strangely.

  Korinna shook her head and said: "No, I just suddenly thought that I wanted to be applauded so much before, but then I didn't want them to applaud me, but I seem to like them again just now."

  She was a little distressed about why, so she looked at Lin En as if she wanted to find out, but suddenly, she found that Lin En was also looking at her with a faint smile.

   "Do you like it? If you like it, just stand with me all the time."

  He stretched out his hand to help the stunned girl smooth out the loose hair that was scattered due to the activity.

  "Stand by my side, you can safely enjoy the applause and cheers from all directions, shining brightly."
