Chapter 10

It was not a bar, so the burden was considerable. It was a time when the obsession to be perfect was sprouting in Leona’s mind at some point. However, no matter how much she received special training, her dancing skills never improved, and there was never a day when Leona stepped on the feet of the teacher who taught her how to dance, and the bruises went away. No matter how many times she practiced, she still had these snappy movements.

As Leona’s debut stage approached, she was getting more and more depressed. However, time passed helplessly and the day of the long-awaited debut date was finally approaching, and Leona was standing in the banquet hall full of worries. It is also true that she had a very slight expectation that no one would ask her to dance. However, there was no way that Leona, who was one of the most attention-grabbing people at the banquet hall, would not receive a dance request.

“Would you like to dance with me?”

A peacock with dark hair and black eyes like obsidian reached out to her and asked for a dance. In an instant, she felt that people’s attention was focused on her.

“Yes, I like it.”

Leona reluctantly responded to the duke. When he politely bowed, Leona also clumsily bent her knees and greeted him.

Then, as Adrian’s strong arms wrapped around Leona’s waist and pulled her into his bosom, she instantly tensed and took a quick breath. Nervous at the fact that dozens of eyes were staring at her, she stiffened at once. Even breathing was difficult, as if it was out of will. Every joint in her body started to creak as if frozen. Leona moved awkwardly, as if someone was manipulating her legs.

While everyone dances gracefully around, she felt like she was the only one in the woods.

“Oh!”

Sure enough, Leona finally stepped on Adrian’s foot. It was the moment when Leona was about to hand him an apology in a crawling voice. Unknowingly, he was trying to bite her body, but wasn’t a strong force hugging her waist tightly?

“It’s okay. It’s not just the young lady’s fault?”

“Yeah?”

“People said that. I keep forgetting to dance because of my beauty. Isn’t the young lady like that too?”

“I’m not like that-”

“You should be ashamed.”

“No, that’s not it. I am-”

“Fine. Well, if you don’t get your heart pounding when you see me, that’s abnormal.”

…Are you a jerk? Leona looked at him with an absurd smile, but the duke looked at her with a rather mischievous expression.

But it was a strange thing. Seeing the duke playing pranks on her, for some reason, she felt that her nervous mind so far was relieved.

“So don’t be nervous. breathe “

The duke erased the mischievous smile from before and opened his mouth to Leona with a gentle smile on his lips before she knew it.

“If I push, you get pushed back.”
