Chapter 146: Chapter 146
It seems different.
Alice frowned and spoke.
"I don't know them. Why should I choose? Can I not choose any one?"
Hilda glanced at Alice calmly.
"I've already said that the choice is yours. Of course you can. Although there are many nobles who get engaged at the age of ten, your father doesn't have too many requirements for you now, so there's no rush. But even so, you have to start honing your feminine charm. Otherwise, if you wait until the fifteen-year-old party and find someone you like, it will be troublesome if he or she rejects you. You see, Sylphy is younger than you, and she does very well in this regard."
Alice turned to look at Sylphy.
The latter broke away from the scene of "being rejected by Allen's greeting" and opened his mouth in surprise.
Waving hands frantically.
Female female female female female female charm? Where where where can I find it?
When her attention was diverted, she didn't notice that Alan beside her was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then nodded imperceptibly.
Alice pouted and hummed.
"Then mother and father kissed hands at the ball?"
After these words fell, everyone was stunned and looked up at Hilda.
Hilda tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled helplessly.
"Dance? No, at your father's fifteenth birthday party, although the elders in the family asked me to try to invite him, there were too many girls invited, so it wasn't my turn."
Alice opened her mouth slightly.
"Then what?"
Hilda touched her head, her eyes softening.
"But dear, he didn't kiss anyone's hand either."
Alice blinked, "Didn't mother dance with father?"
"Yes, but not at the party."
"Oh~"
Alice nodded, not quite understanding.
"That's good!"
The air fell silent.
Neither mother nor daughter spoke again.
Rudy on the side widened his eyes, looked at Hilda, and then looked at Alice.
What are you doing? Shouldn't you ask for clarification? I'm already curious.
He was just about to open his mouth to gossip when this happened.
Hilda suddenly glanced at Allen secretly. As a teacher, she should have guided them to the next step of etiquette knowledge.
The conversation between the few people just now seemed normal, but from a while ago, there was always one thing, like a tiny flame, that continued to burn in her mind, making it impossible for her to fully focus on the current course.
Allen taught Alice those words, and the intuition that flashed through her mind finally made her unable to help but ask the question that had been lingering in her heart since a while ago.
The voice was not as dignified as before, and it actually had a sense of urgency.
"Alan's guidance using swordplay as an analogy just now was very beautiful, you are worthy of being a teacher."
"You seem to be very familiar with the ballroom dancing at the noble banquet. I remember you seemed to be..."
She paused and turned to look at Alan.
The perspectives of the two people's gray-black eyes intertwined.
"Adventurer?"
Sylphy, Gileno, and Rudy all turned their heads and looked at Alan's face.
The latter was obviously stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"Yes, ma'am. In the previous adventurer team, there was a swordsman teammate who was born in the Mizukami Ryuso Dojo. He was a down-and-out noble. People in the maze are between life and death, and their spirits are very tense. He often talked about some interesting stories among the nobles, including this dance step."
Alan stopped talking halfway, he looked down at his boots with his eyes drooped, not knowing what he was thinking.
Rudy and Sylphy had obvious surprise on their faces. This was not what they expected, but on some level it did fit in with some of their ideas.
There are big loopholes in Allen's words, and the current situation will change as long as the conversation continues.
They didn't know about the Great Transfer, nor did they know about the fact that Alan himself had traveled through time and space, and the fact that he lacked recognition of his family members at the physical genetic level.
Even so, they caught the 'resistance' that Allen occasionally showed towards Boreas.
No matter what Master Philip and Master Sauros say.
At least the lady is a nice person?
Isn't it?
They weren't trying to force Allen to make a choice.
only
A change in the situation is better than the current stagnant state.
In this way, they can take corresponding measures again based on the next situation and continue to help Allen in the most appropriate way.
This is the initial plan they came up with.
Now is a good opportunity
"Is that so? That makes sense."
meeting.
? ?
Sylphy and Rudy turned to look at Hilda in surprise.
Hilda actually "agreed" with Alan's flawed statement? Why didn't she continue to ask questions about the flaws in his words?
In the stunned eyes of the two people——
Hilda's dark grey pupils no longer had the calm look from before. She looked down at her shoes that were blackened by Alice's steps, looking a little helpless.
It was exactly the same as Allen's expression at this moment.
even.
The expressions are somewhat similar.
When there is an expectation in your heart that you dare not even think about and has no possibility of achieving.
On the contrary, I am calm.
Because the tree that symbolizes "expectation" has not borne fruit for eleven years.
She has become numb.
But when this "expectation" comes unexpectedly from the sky and hits you in the face in the form of a "possibility" of being realized!
What will be the reaction?
ecstasy??
And then ask eagerly for clarification?
No.
In this situation, people will worry about gains and losses.
She is scared.
It is emotionally unacceptable, and after careful questioning, the results will once again prove that this is another fruitless "illusion".
So Hilda subconsciously took a step back and took the initiative to retreat into her own 'comfort zone'.
Agree with Allen's statement.
As long as you don't take this step for the time being, the possibility will still exist.
Wait a little longer.
Wait a little longer.
Let yourself again.
Wait a little longer.

173. Chapter 170: Exposed Identity, Boreas's 'Heart' (Part 3)
173.
Under the gaze of Rudy and Sylphy, Hilda's chest rose and fell, and she took a breath, her words a little disorganized.
"We have taught you the etiquette of the dance and the etiquette after the dance. Now, we should have only one step left, the etiquette of inviting people to dance. This is very simple, so I put it at the end."
She tucked the loose hair that had fallen from her dance behind her ears, looking a little tired from the dance.
"Put your hands in front of you and bow to invite you."
Alice looked at Hilda's expression as she lowered her head, then followed her gaze to the ground.
In his sight, the shoe prints that he had just made were very obvious on Hilda's shoes.
The eldest lady's face suddenly looked a little flustered.
"Did I hurt my mother?"
Hilda smiled and shook her head.
"No. It's okay, Alice. Let me show you how to dance together."
Alice quickly let go of Hilda's hand, her red eyes flickering left and right, but when she saw Alan, who was keeping his head down and keeping silent, her eyes suddenly lit up.
She took a step across the distance between them and grabbed Alan's hand in the stunned eyes of Gileno, Sylphy, and Rudy.
"Ai Alan knows how to dance! I'll ask him to show me how! I can't even touch him during sword practice! I definitely can't step on his feet!"
Then she turned and looked directly at Alan.
The latter looked down at Alice's hand, was silent for a moment, and then spoke.
".Invite me to dance? It's really simple. I've seen it before. Let me demonstrate. My movements may not be very standard. I'll need Madam to correct them in the end."
"Very good!"
Amid Alice's cheers, Hilda was stunned for a moment, then looked at Allen and Alice calmly, nodded slightly, and stepped aside to stand beside Sylphy.
The pace was a bit messy.
Several people turned their eyes to Allen on the field.
Including Alice, who was standing opposite Allen.
Alan was silent for a while, then spoke in a way that was still very much in the style of the Water God School, speaking with data.
But his words deliberately emphasized the fact that he was just a bystander.
"The distance between the two people is about 90 centimeters, which is about one and a half steps away from an average person."
Alan just turned his wrist and escaped from Alice's palm.
Take a step back.
The distance is just right.
"Then, bow with the same degree of depth as a normal greeting."
Bend over, 45°.
"Stretch out your left hand with your palm open, at a height that is level with your chin, so that the lady can accept your invitation with her right hand, which is her dominant hand."
He stretched out his hand, palm facing up, and placed it in front of Alice.
"at last."
