People then began clapping their hands as they give their congratulatory gifts and words to her.
As expected of princess Mifuelle’s older sister, Princess Aria is quite a magnificent beauty herself.
The only difference is that, contrary to Princess Mifuelle’s bright and mischievous nature, Princess Aria emits a very cold presence.
A cool and icy beauty!
Boosted with her magnificent beauty, it’s as if she was carved by the gods themselves using a cold block ice.
Her clear skin was completely free of blemishes. She had high nose, white pale skin and red lips. Her neck and collarbone were perfectly lined up.
A complete harmony and out of this world presence were achieved in her exhilarating beauty!
Most of the men present gasped as they saw her.
They were completely charmed by her beauty that might even be comparable to the goddesses in the heavens.
Unlike all the men inside the hall, Hein was seeing her with complete indifference.
He was quite shock at first when he saw her for the first time but he manage to calmed down his racing blood when he remembered how beautiful his Flora was; which beauty is comparable to her or even more~
As the saying goes, ‘In front of a man in love, no one is more beautiful than the girl they laid eyes upon!’
Elegantly tilting the glass in his hands, he took his gaze from her and quietly ate some pastries.
The king then stood up in front of the crowd and said in a clear but not so loud voice,
“Good evening everyone, first of all let me express my gratitude for having joined us on this unforgettable night which serves as a celebration for my daughter’s coming of age ceremony. Tonight, eat and drink a lot! The party has only just begun! Cheers!”
“””Cheers!”””
The music resumed under the stares of the crowd.
Countless pairs made their way to the center as they danced merrily.
A surreal scene that can only be seen in fairytales was now happening in front of him. Hein felt some complicated feelings that he can’t explain as a sudden thought flashed in his mind.
‘This is really not the world I know’ a sense of loss surged up in his heart as he could only do was covered his face with a bitter smile.
Thinking about the face of his Mother Superior, the children who he deemed as brothers and sisters, his big sister who sometimes drag him wherever she wanted to go, and the stalker who keep on following him as he ignore it and pretended to not know…
‘Now that I think about it, how is that stalker right now anyway? Well, although I thought it was creepy at first but after a few days I’ve somewhat became used to her presence~ It also became my training in feeling someone’s presence…hehe’ Hein thought as he let out a chuckle.
Thinking about his old home and world, his eyes began to moist as it reddened. Some little tears began to form in the corner of his eyes.
‘Is this Homesickness I’m feeling right now?’ He thought.
He might be seen strong because he accepted the reality that he was trapped in this world easily.
He was even calm in the midst of danger but in fact he was just suppressing it subconsciously with the help of his unique skills. He knew that if he let out his real feeling then it would just hinder his own survival.
But now that his heart was being swayed by the beautiful music around him, his feelings wavered as his steeled heart that suppressed this feeling melted.
Fortunately no one saw his current face as they were engrossed on watching the beautiful pairs dancing like wild swans.
Wiping the tears forming in the corner of his eyes, he immediately withdraws a pitch black mask from his [ Spatial Ring ] and wore it.
He didn’t want anyone to see his current weak self, especially his new parents as they might become worried.
Unbeknownst to him this only garnered even more attention to the people inside the room.
A jet black coat with stylish design, black shirt and pants and now he was wearing a pitch black mask. Together with his white hair, his overall appearance was really strange.
Even though his appearance was beyond weird, he was still radiating a kind of mysterious aura that drew anyone’s attention.
It was an aura that emits some kind of grace and majestic presence yet has a hint of loneliness.
Even the icy first princess couldn’t help but glance at his position.
“Hein, is there something wrong?” Leviana asked him; a hint of worry could be seen.
“Son, why are you covering your face? Did something happen?” For who knows when, even his father Draig arrived beside him. Hell, Lina, and the princess Mifuelle even the little Aqua gave him a concerned look.
Seeing this scene, indescribable warmth flowed from his heart.
“Not at all. I’m just a little bit embarrassed so I decided to cover my face like this. If it was unsightly, then I can take it off…”

“Of course not.” Leviana said while gently stroking his hair. “My son is very handsome, how could he be unsightly? Even with this mask, my son is still giving some majestic presence with a hint of mysteriousness so how could you be unsightly? Well, if you’re comfortable with it on then it’s alright” she said while wearing a gentle smile.
A presentation of a real doting mother.
Hein nodded gently as a small smile formed under his mask.
Songs and music that won’t even lose to Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin or any other great composers in earth was played.
The gentle string instruments and the new sound of wind instruments gave the music more depth as many pairs drowned themselves in their dance. Beautiful women and handsome men were dancing and their movements were smooth and graceful as if they’re flying in the air.
As the music drew to a close, the dancing pairs gracefully curtsied to thank the crowd.
“Next will be the second piece … uum … w,would you please accompany me for one dance?”
“Ha?”
Hein gave a look of confusion because of princess Mifuelle’s sudden proposal.
“T,that is … please dance with me!”
Hearing the princess words, Hein’s face lost all of its color.
If he were to fight a high-level BOSS monster or venture on a high level dungeon, Hein have the confidence to win and survive … but dance in front of this people?
That’s more than seeking death! … Social death is crueler than physical death. If he were to face with this request all of a sudden, he would be dumbstruck.
“I, I need to confess … I totally don’t know how to dance.” He said with a flustered face.
“EH? … I, it’s fine! I will teach you!” Princess Mifuelle smiled at Hein with her head raised.
“That’s right! Hein, you should accompany princess Mifuelle” Leviana happily consented.
“Then … okay.”
‘Haah~ this is going to be embarrassing!’ Hein thought as he hung his head in depression.
As he raised his head, he saw princess Mifuelle smiling beautifully in front of him. This gave him more courage to do it.
Who would reject a proposal from an angel? Only idiots would do so~
Princess Mifuelle took Hein’s hands and led him to the middle of the dance floor. Seeing where they are going, Hein felt panic-stricken as he thought it was too much.
Even if they needed to dance, wouldn’t a place with less people be better while finishing it in a low-profile?
‘Why in the middle where it can be seen by a lot of people? This place should be reserved by the host, main guest or excellent dancers not us!….wait, she’s the princess so maybe…NO!’ Hein’s mind was getting crazy.
As expected, the attention was focused on them immediately.
She was after all a princess and a beautiful one at that.
They too want to know who’s the lucky guy the princess wanted to dance with. Upon seeing Hein’s figure, their attention was turned to him as fast as lightning.
The mysterious son of Draig and Princess Leviana. Rumored to be handsome and talented. Possess power that was even compared to Draig the strongest swordsman of the kingdom, such rumors boosted their curiosity towards the white hair boy in pitch black clothing.
Of course, Hein don’t know about those rumors floating inside the court~
Without any choice, Hein accepted his fate as he silently swallowed some of his saliva. He felt just as nervous as he did when he was singing in front of the many students in the school.
The hall was crowded with people who seemed to be observing and laughing at them, though it was only Hein’s little delusion.
“Like this … put your hand on my waist … no higher … yes just like that” Princess Mifuelle happily taught him.
The next song seemed to be like a waltz. It seems as if the musicians played it while thinking for the second princess happily leading someone in the middle of the dance floor.
Like a scene from the fairytales, the hall was filled with music.
Hein who was nervous were gradually lost in the melody as he danced with Princess Mifuelle.
It’s as if his mind stopped thinking and only let his body do the work. In just a matter of time, the leading role was taken by the two as every people in the room focused their attention to them. Even the other pairs in the dance floor gradually took some distance, leaving only them in the middle of the dance floor, happily dancing.
‘Ah, it’s been so long since I last listen to a song as beautiful as this~’ Hein thought.
Music was very special.
It cleanses one’s soul as they listen to it. It also eased the pain you carried. In the real world; Web, Internet, MP3, podcast, tablet and many other gadgets that brought music to him everywhere he goes but in this world, there’s no such gadgets.
Music became a luxury.
