After walking for less than a minute, she seemed to have thought of something. She stood beside Orson with a red face and stretched out her hands to hold Orson's arms.
"Uh...you are..."
"Just get used to it first, there's no other meaning." Lianka said in a low voice.
"By the way, Orson, can you dance?"
"Well, I do know a little bit about dancing," Orson said.
As aristocrats, dancing is a compulsory etiquette course. In social occasions such as banquets, they occasionally need to stand up and dance to liven up the atmosphere.
Of course, in this era, the dance of the nobles basically had a fixed beat, similar to the waltz, and it was not difficult to dance along.
Compared with the entertainment value of theater dance, this kind of dance focuses more on elegance and propriety. As long as the steps and rhythm are correct, there will basically be no mistakes.
"That's good." Hearing this, Lianka breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be a bit troublesome if Orson couldn't even dance, after all, he didn't dance much either. Then, on the dance floor, the two weirdos would definitely be looked down upon by others.
Finally, they arrived at a high-end restaurant in the college. At this moment, the two of them could see through the window that a large group of people had gathered in the restaurant.
"This restaurant has two floors, and we are on the second floor." Lianka said this and walked in with Orson.
The first-year students had only seen Orson in some public occasions, and since Orson was wearing a mask at the moment, no one recognized him.
Instead, it was Lianka who was standing next to her. Because she was more famous among the first graders, someone took the initiative to greet her as soon as she entered the restaurant.
Seeing that they all had this reaction, Orson was quite satisfied.
Since no one has discovered me now, I should be able to get through the night peacefully.
After arriving on the second floor, a few more girls came up to Lianka, and they seemed to be Lianka’s classmates.
"Hey, Lianka, the dance partner next to you doesn't seem to be from our class?" A girl with short chestnut hair walked up and asked curiously.
"He's definitely not from our class. After all, I don't like people from our class." Lianka said proudly.
"Hey~?" The girl with short chestnut hair stretched out her voice curiously, then moved closer to Lianka and whispered:
"Well, Lianka, do you mind if we exchange partners? I see your partner has a good figure and looks like a handsome guy. My partner is not bad either. I carefully selected him from a gigolo club outside the school."
"What do you think? Do you want to consider it?" The girl said this and pointed at a man not far away. The man was obviously also very open-minded and winked directly in the direction of the few people.
"Forget it." Lianka shook her head. "I still think my partner is better."
As she said this, Lianka moved closer to Orson.
"Hmm." The chestnut-haired girl was obviously a little bored. "Lianka, you are so conservative."
"...Maybe." Lianka nodded.
"Forget it." The girl said this and looked up at Orson.
"Hey little brother, can you please leave me your contact information?"
As soon as Lianka looked at Orson, she felt a little nervous and her hand involuntarily grabbed Orson's sleeve.
But Orson just shook his head indifferently and refused to say another word.
"...How boring." The chestnut-haired girl said this and looked at Lianka again.
"In a sense, you two are really a good match."
After saying this, she turned and left.
Orson saw that her dance partner came up to her, put his arm around her waist, and whispered something softly in her ear to calm her down.
He even turned around and gave me an apologetic look.
To a certain extent, these people working in the service industry do understand the ways of the world better than those young ladies.
At least this look of his has saved the girl a lot of trouble.
"Okay, ignore her. She's usually like a socialite and has more fun than anyone else." Lianka said this and took the initiative to comfort Orson. Then she took Orson's hand and took him to a seat by the window.
"I say, Lianka, can this kind of place and this kind of activity really develop your social skills?" Orson asked doubtfully.
"In my opinion, this kind of masked ball is just a chance for those noble young masters and young ladies who indulge in pleasure to relax. If you like these things and adapt to them, you can certainly interact with this group of people, but I can feel that you don't like this kind of aristocratic social atmosphere."
“Hmm…” Li’anka was stunned for a moment after hearing that, then she blushed and lowered her head.
"I just wanted to come and see it with you... I feel more at ease with you by my side..."
But Orson didn't hear the girl's weak and feeble voice clearly.
"Lianka, what did you just say?"
"Nothing." Lianka shook her head quickly and then stood up.
"Well, since you don't like the environment here, Orson, let's eat something nearby. I'll go get you something first." Lianka quickly got up and ran away, going to the dining area to get some food and snacks.
When she came back again, Orson was surrounded by several little girls.
"Sir, may I have the honor of inviting you to come on stage and dance with me?" A pink-haired girl looked at Orson and said with a smile.
The girl had a good figure, and her features were hidden by a mask, but just from the half of her face that was exposed, one could tell that she had a good foundation.
Logically, no one would refuse an invitation from a girl like this, but Orson just shook his head.
"Sorry, I have a partner."
"Ah, sir, you probably don't know the rules of this dance. In fact, a dance partner is just a condition for entering. Here, dance partners can separate and find new dance partners by themselves. It doesn't mean that you can only dance with your own partner." The girl said this, and seemed to be still fighting for it.
"So that's how it is. Thank you for your reminder, but I'm sorry, I don't want to dance now." Orson said this and politely refused the other party.
"Really? That's a pity. I was thinking of dancing with you and spending a wonderful night with you." Hearing this, the girl could only shake her head.
At this time, Lianka also returned to Orson.
"You approached me without permission when I was leaving and tried to seduce my dance partner. Aren't you going too far?" Lianka did not indulge the other party, but confronted him directly.
Chapter 59: Rosalyn
"Oh, I was wondering who it is. It's Lianka, the second-best student in the first grade." The pink-haired girl seemed to know Lianka. She was so familiar with her that she could recognize her even if she was wearing a mask.
"Ms. Rosalin, isn't this a bit too much?" Lianka said, frowning and looking at the girl named Rosalin.
"Sorry~" Rosalin said this, clasping her hands together, looking very sincere.
"I just saw this gentleman leaning against the wall alone, so I thought of inviting him. But it seems that as a dance partner, Li'anka, you didn't tell this gentleman all the information about the dance..."
"That's...that's something I forgot about. Besides, it has nothing to do with you, right?"
"That's true." Rosalin nodded, then smiled and left with her little followers.
Lianka then sat down angrily and put the plate in front of Orson.
"That girl named Rosalin looks quite unusual, but I don't think I've heard her name before. Lianka, are you familiar with her?"
"I guess so." Lianka nodded. "Rosalin was the third-best student to enter the school, so she always thought that I, Lit, was an eyesore."
"But this person has good communication skills. Her father is a general of the empire. They can be considered a family of military officers. Although it is not hereditary, there are still many small nobles around them who curry favor with the powerful."
"So that's how it is..." Orson nodded after hearing this, and then thought of the current generals of the empire.
"Is she the daughter of General Scaloni, nicknamed the White Knight? After thinking about it, it seems that only his age matches."
"Yeah." Lianka nodded.
Although this kind of military officer family is not a hereditary aristocracy at present, it has great potential.
Like Orson’s family, Lucius was also a military officer, but later became the new Duke.
Before Lucius, if one could rise to the top of the empire, a high-ranking military officer like a general would basically be given a fiefdom when he retired, and become an earl or baron, if he did not have one.
Although the empire adopted a feudal system, the land of the empire did not remain unchanged for thousands of years.
Sometimes, when the nobles who ruled a piece of land died out or committed serious crimes, the land would return to the royal family. The royal family would basically reward this kind of land to people who had made contributions, and the first choice among them would be the generals who had fought for the empire.
Orson picked up a bamboo stick, poked a piece of fruit into his mouth and chewed it.
"Speaking of which, Orson, you are really popular. When you just came in, someone wanted to invite you. After I left for a while, someone else found you."
"Maybe... I'm just too charming? Those innocent girls can't walk as soon as they see me?"
"Bah, you shameless bastard." Lianka cursed in a low voice, and then started eating the food on her plate.
At this time, the atmosphere of the dance party gradually became lively.
Many people have walked to the center of the stage and started dancing to the music.
"Orson, do you want to... try it together?" At this time, Lianka also plucked up the courage to ask Orson.
"Okay, I have no objection." Orson nodded and stood up.
"But let me make this clear first. If you don't dance well or people around you laugh at you, don't blame me."
"No, I'm not that good at dancing either..." Lianka was not as arrogant this time. Instead, she became polite with blushing cheeks.
When the song ended, the two walked onto the stage together, and the next song was about to begin.
Orson reached out and took Lianka's hand in his with one, while the other arm was around her waist.
This kind of dance move is common, but it made Lianka blush and her heart beat fast.
"Lianka? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Feeling Lianka's body slightly stiff in his arms, Orson looked at her puzzledly.
"No...no." Lianka shook her head. "I just...suddenly forgot how to move..."
At this moment, Lianka was so nervous that she had forgotten all the dance steps she had learned on the spur of the moment.
Helplessly, Orson could only whisper in her ear: "Then, Lianka, just follow my rhythm later."
"Okay, okay." Lianka nodded with a blushing face.
Then, the music prelude slowly sounded, and everyone on the stage started moving, including Orson's group.
Lianka followed Orson's guidance and slowly adapted to the rhythm, and her nervous mood calmed down.
As expected, Orson has a kind of power that makes people feel at ease.
Just as Lianka was thinking this, she raised her head and looked at Orson's profile.
It turns out that Orson is so handsome?
Instantly, Lianka blushed and her heart began to beat again.
The steps that had just been straightened out by Orson became messy again, and he even stepped on Orson a few times.
"S-sorry." Lianka apologized quickly.
But Orson did not respond to Lianka. He just moved her upper body slightly forcefully, making her steps move along with her upper body again.
"That's it." Orson spoke when their rhythm matched again.
Quan Rang did not mention the fact that Lianka stepped on him several times.
"Just now, you seemed nervous again, what happened?"
"I..." Although Lianka's heart was still pounding,
When the song ended, Orson and Lianka walked off the stage.
"I'm sorry Orson, I was just too nervous."
"It's okay." Orson shook his head. "You probably don't like dancing that much, do you?"
"Indeed." Lianka nodded.
If it wasn't for being with Orson, she definitely wouldn't have gone on stage.
At this time, a few more girls gathered around.
"Eh? Lianka-san, long time no see. Do you still remember us?"
"Uh, who are you?"
"Oh, it's only been a few days and you've already forgotten us. Come on, let's go chat. We have some new cocktails." Several girls said this and pretended to take Lianka away.
Seeing the other party so enthusiastic, Lianka didn't know how to refuse, so she could only look to Orson for help.
"Okay, Lianka, go and chat more with your friends. This dance is also meant to develop your social skills," Orson said with a smile.
"Oh, this guy is very considerate. Unfortunately, we are a group of girls chatting, and there may be some private topics, so we can't bring you along~" a girl said in a sweet voice.
Then, several people took Lianka aside.
