The Defeated Dragon

“I don't see you dancing, why don't you go?” Asina sipped the juice and asked.

“I'm not very good at dancing, so it's good to watch someone else dance quietly. ”

“Then you should go down and dance. The steps are simple. You'll learn to dance more than once.” Blink, blink, Asina, with the look of anticipation, “I can teach you if you want to learn. ”

The lady took the initiative, Lester couldn't resist, but stood up and reached out: “Can I ask you to dance? ”

“It's an honor.” Asina reached out to Lister and stood up smoothly.

So Lister took Asina to the dance floor, accompanied by a soothing piano, hugged Asina's waist, held her left hand, and started dancing together on the dance floor. Noble dancing has never been easy, Lester himself has never danced, but his predecessors had quite a bit of experience.

“You're not jumping green, it looks like you were lying to me.” Asina jumped and said with a smile.

“Perhaps it's extraordinary right now. ”

“Really, then I believe you. ”

After a moment of silence.

Asina asked, "I've never been to Coral Island. In fact, I've never been out of Red Crab Island. Is Coral Island far from Red Crab Island? ”

“It's not far, most of the day's sailing, and if it's all windy, it's probably half a day away. ”

“What does Tulip Chateau look like? ”

“Built on a shore cliff, much smaller than a potato fort, the surrounding hillsides are tulip-like and purple-red. ”

“That must be very pretty, and if I had the chance, I'd like to go to Tulip Chateau as a guest. ”

“There will be an opportunity. ”

“Do you live in Tulip Castle? ”

“I grew up there, but I'm already living in my own town. ”

“Yes, I heard Sir Meoper say that you are now divided into barons, in Flower Town? ”

“Mmm.”

“There must be lots of beautiful flowers there, around the castle where you live, are they also full of flowers?. ”

“You may be disappointed by a dozen acres of tulips and wheat planted elsewhere. As for around the castle, well, I'm preparing to grow grass, build a stable, and probably raise some cows.” Lester said faintly that he had a feeling that Asina was asking about herself.

Maybe this girl is attracted to her handsome looks and wants to be Baron Lester's wife?

Still, while interrupting her thoughts early, he paused and continued: "Well, the town is remote, the wheat is not enough, the milk is not enough, not even the vegetables are often eaten, even with gold coins, it is difficult to buy meat. The merchants were reluctant to come in because they were separated by a hill with warcraft in it. ”

Asina opened her mouth in surprise: "Are you the Earth Knight? ”

“Recently promoted and still proficient in fighting secrets. ”

Lester, who was only a few feet tall, lowered his head and could see Asina up to one meter and six, had a slightly stiff expression on her face.

Probably the gap between ideal and reality, which troubled her.

Anyone who sees Lester at first sight will definitely feel good, of course, mainly women. But knowing Lester's background, I'm afraid he'll have to withdraw. Without attention, poverty, the barons of remote towns, and poor fighting skills, he'll probably have to sell the enclosure sooner or later and wander off to other lords.

Running a land seal is not an easy thing, and many small aristocrats go bankrupt, falling short of becoming tutors, or captains of knights.

Gorte is one of them.

Even large aristocrats will be bankrupt and lose their enclosed land if they fail to operate their industries.

“Next, it's probably time to let go, signaling the end of the dance.” Lester thought of it in his heart.

However, Asina did not let go, some slightly stiff expression, and quickly recovered to her previous faint smile: “Your father, the Earl of Coral Island, will not look at Flower Town without asking. ”

“My relationship with my father is not very harmonious, maybe my brother and sister are too good. ”

“But I think you have a better temperament, and when you stand with Sir Meoper, you are very much like a pair of brothers. ”

“I'm more like my mother. ”

“Your mother must be a noble lady of Yongrong. ”

“I don't actually remember what she looked like, she died when I was two. ”

“Sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned it. ”

“It's okay.”

The next two were not talking, hugged their hips and finished the whole song. At rest, he returned to his seat and did not expect Asina to follow him.

And sitting next to him, he said, “My family is in White Fish City, and the castle has no name, and I have a brother, who is married to the Lydia sisters of the Viscount Xavier family, whom they met last year at a prom in Fort Long Yam. ”

“Well, no wonder I didn't see your brother come here today.” Lister's a little overwhelmed.

“He and Sister Lydia had a very good relationship and rarely attended such a party again.” Asina winks, "my father greets, Lester, and you have time to come to my house as a guest. ”

“I'm afraid I don't have time, Grandpa is recovering, and I have to go back to Coral Island tomorrow. ”

“When will you come back next? ”

“Wait till the New Year's Day. ”

“Oh.”

The piano sounded again, and Lester danced with Asina again. Then, on the pretext that the dance floor was too boring, Asina refused to dance with him.

We went around the castle, and when we got back, the ball was over.

As the music stopped, Meoppo, on behalf of the owner, announced that the dance was over. The aristocrats, three or two, return by car from close proximity, far away, under the leadership of a servant, to the castle arranged room. Lester is also ready to return to his room.

Asina came back and just said, "Good night, Lester. ”

“Good night, Asina. ”

Before I went back to my room, Meoper came over and said, "Lister, did you have a good time talking to Asina? ”

“Just two dances. ”

“I can see Asina's very interested in you. What do you think? ”

“I have no idea. ”

I can see Lester being serious, Meopold nodded: "Okay, I get it. Get some rest. By the way, tomorrow grandpa says he's giving you a bar mitzvah. He didn't witness the bar mitzvah when you were a mitzvah. I'm very sorry to hear that. I was hoping to make it up to you a little bit. ”

“Grandpa was too polite. ”

“Well, good night. ”

“Good night. ”

……

Late at night, Lester was not asleep, and he kept thinking about what the Marquis was going to give himself as a mitzvah - the Marquis's hand, it shouldn't be too bad.

“Maybe a magic sword? ”

Between aristocrats, especially elders who give gifts to younger generations, there are usually many weapons, implying that knights' glory needs to be obtained with blades and long guns.

The Marquis must deliver weapons, at least with magic.

Magic weapons were so precious that he had never had one, that the more he thought about them, the hotter he became. Hot factors, more or less, also contain Asina's enthusiasm - both inside and out, loving Lester, wanting to be the Baroness.

Loved, still a pretty lady.

Always happy.
