Volume 1 Chapter 9 The Penguin Walks Alone

After a long time, as if sensing a moment of depression in Cesare's eyes, Klosia asked with concern, "What's wrong?" "Nothing... It's just that I suddenly miss the old days..."Cesare replied with a smile as he jumped, looking at his adorable sister in front of him, Cesare decided not to think about it anymore, his eyes lit up again in the light of the light, and then changed the subject. "What do you think of my dancing, Closia?" Cesare's words overflowed with the doting affection for Closia, as if he had reserved all his tenderness for his dear sister. Seeing that her brother had regained his spirits, Klosia smiled from the bottom of her heart. "Great, I thought you'd stomp on my shoes, but I didn't expect you to dance so well." Closia took her brother's hand and spun around, looked at Cesare again, and then continued, "But didn't you say that you weren't interested in dancing?" I still want to teach you, but now it seems that I have to learn from you, what secrets does my brother have that even my sister doesn't know? "It's not so exaggerated, it's just that I learned a little bit a long time ago, and you still need someone to hold you at that time." Cesare explained, "I thought I wouldn't have it a long time ago, maybe I still have some muscle memory." Closia asked Cesare suspiciously, "Did your mother teach you to dance?" Cesare smiled, "a man you haven't met." The dance music is melodious, and both the dancers and the band are getting better. Acrobats roamed around the auditorium and threw their juggling bottles into the air, and some of the students who watched up close were worried that the props would fall on their heads. Unexpectedly, those objects were hanging high in the air, and they were like living people and saluting with the magic candlesticks on them, and the students on the dance floor twirled and danced in mid-air to the melody of the music, and even the teacher who taught the magic general knowledge class pushed his glasses in amazement. Dean Ryan leaned against the window with a glass of red wine, and the middle-aged unmarried theological teacher seemed to be attracted by his masculine charm that had nowhere to be placed, and came to his side, intentionally or unintentionally. The beautiful Verratia eventually chose to dance with Hilton, and their dance steps were more skilled and steady than their peers, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were the most elegant dancers on the dance floor, so they also attracted a lot of attention. But Villatia's gaze still fell on Cesare not far away from time to time, and when she saw Cesare so engrossed in her sister that she didn't look at her at all, even the last perfunctory smile disappeared from the corners of Veratia's mouth. "Are you okay? You look somewhat... Under the weather? Hilton tried to ask after noticing what was wrong with Veratia. "No, I'm fine, thank you." Verratia replied coldly, her gaze fixed on Cesare. Seeing his dance partner's eyes that were so cold that they could kill, Hilton felt a little embarrassed, but reason still made him continue to devote himself to the dance, and smiled helplessly. On the other side of the dance floor, Sandino, dressed like a penguin, finally chose Yvette, a girl from the same grade, as his dance partner, although the short, freckled brown-haired girl looked dull most of the time, but she danced with Sandino seemed to be a good match. Even seeing Sandino's rather funny dance steps, the girl not only did not feel ashamed, but was amused to laugh out loud, and began to dance to meet Sandino's pace. He was immersed in a moment of beauty, and when he came back to his senses, the dance music was about to play to the halfway, and according to the rules, each dancer was free to change partners, but Sandino was not willing to give up the girl he had found with great difficulty, and was afraid that Yvette would replace him in the second half. "Ahem... You... I mean you ......" Maybe it was because of the excitement of the girl, and Sandino, who was not sure if he was presumptuous, was so nervous and incoherent for the first time, and his face was red because of it, and when he saw Yvette staring at him in confusion, he still gritted his teeth and asked the doubts in his heart. "What do you think of my jump? Have you ever stepped on your feet? Sandino swallowed, staggered his dance steps again, and nervously looked at Yvette's face waiting for a response. Yvette smiled very cutely, shook her head slightly, and clasped her hands tightly to show that the lady had no intention of leaving. But just as Sandino was relieved, a disgusting male figure cut straight in from outside the dance floor, his graceful and light steps, but the face that pretended to be casual and calm could barely hide his evil smile, and that person was Gallen. The eyes of the bird of prey seemed to have found their prey, ignoring the countless ladies who wanted to dance with him, and came to Sandino with a clear purpose. By the time Sandino had just recognized the evil face that suddenly appeared, Gallen had already caught the perfect beat of the dance party midfield, and without giving Sandino any time to react, he directly snatched Yvette's hand and exchanged it for his own dance partner. Yvette, who was overwhelmed by the unexpected situation, was frightened, and as the daughter of a local tycoon, she spent a lot of money to enter the aristocratic academy, and she had no right to refuse Gallon's invitation at all. The girl's expression was very hesitant, but Gal seemed to be determined to spoil Santino's good deeds, and there was not much time to think about it, and in the end Yvette could only let go of Santino, and after looking back apologetically, she could only leave with Gallon's dance steps. "But, but..."Sandino chuckled in his heart, and the good mood just now disappeared in an instant, although he knew that Gallen's bastard was deliberate, but it has been a rule since ancient times that the halftime can change dance partners, and in terms of rules, there is nothing out of the ordinary about Gallen, and Sandino can only swallow his resentment in his stomach. In the second half of the dance, when Clocia and Cesare continue to dance together, they find Sandino's lonely figure, the sad boy dancing alone, and this situation is likely to continue until the end of the song. On the other side, Gallen was dancing with Yvette, but Yvette's face was not happy at all, but she had to smile flatteringly. "Poor Sandino......," Closia whispered in distress. Brother, did you see that? "Hmm." Cesare nodded lightly, although he didn't seem to have any change in expression, but looking at Sandino's embarrassment, he still felt very uncomfortable. It's just that at this time, he can't do anything but wait until the end of the song to comfort Sandino. As the second half of the dance music drew to a close, Sandino thought about leaving the dance floor in disgrace. But as soon as he stopped his solo dance, he was horrified to find that the music that should have ended was still playing, and when he looked up, the band in front of him had no intention of putting down their instruments, and they were still intoxicated, and they actually connected the coda with the beat of the overture to turn the whole dance into an Ouroboros that would never stop, about to make everyone on the dance floor start a new round of dance. Almost all of the students were a little surprised at first, but they looked at each other and then hugged and danced in tacit agreement again. At this time, the dance floor was like a large trap for Sandino, and he was not ready to give anyone a chance to escape from here, and he didn't want to escape and become the laughing stock of the whole school without a dance partner, but when he thought that he would continue to dance alone, Sandino seemed to be in the most terrifying nightmare. "Huh? The dance music doesn't end? Closia tilted her head, confused. Cesare, who was also aware of the oddity, looked at the front band, whose clothes were invariably emblazoned with the eagle crest of the Orsini family, which was the emblem of the Gallen family. Immediately afterwards, Cesare saw that Gallen was the only guy in the audience who was not surprised, and he also looked at Cesare with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, and Cesare was only annoyed that he hadn't found out earlier. At this point, Cesare looked at Closia's face solemnly and pleaded gently, "Closia, can you go and help Sandino?" There was no coercion in his tone, and he put the decision in the hands of his sister. "Well, yes......," Clocia frowned worriedly. But what about you, brother? "Don't worry about me, of course I have my own way." Cesare replied in the affirmative. After hearing Cesare's affirmative words, Closia felt a lot more relieved, and after a sweet "um", she reluctantly parted from her brother and turned to save Sandino in distress. When Sandino saw Closia come to save him, he seemed to vaguely see the pure angel sent by the Lord coming towards him, and he was so moved that he was about to cry, and his excitement also made his penguin dance even more lame, which made Closia laugh out loud. Returning to Cesare, the so-called self-contained method was only a word of comfort to his sister, but in fact he was only convinced that his solo dance would not be as embarrassing as Sandino's, but it was true, Cesare had long been accustomed to the strange gaze of others, and he danced with loneliness, unhurried, steady and undisturbed, as if solitude was destined to be his only destination. Gradually, Cesare was getting better and better alone, he slowly closed his eyes, no longer looking at Gallen's smiling face that had succeeded in his plot, everything in the world seemed to have no connection with him, and his mind remembered his relatives who were no longer around, only music was left to wash his soul. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cesare sorted out his recent thoughts, remembering that his sister Closia had not seen her mother since she was born, and that he happened to discover that the secrets of the Hunyadi family concealed some kind of magic that could bring the faces of the old people back to life, and it would be nice if Closhia could get a glimpse of her mother's face. It's just that what to do, the family crest ring is the only clue at the moment, and I have tried every way I can think to crack the mysterious magic, the mechanical heart at auction...... What kind of secrets does the Hunyadi family contain? Could it be the clue he needs now?But in any case, it's already a mistake......
