Holy Land - Kaede Castle

Soon after Nebula finished delivering the gifts, it was time for the banquet to reach its highest (harmonious) tide.

According to the old practice in the Holy Land, Her Majesty was over twenty years of age and would have a grand ball at each birthday banquet and was required to choose a male of a similar age as her dance partner until Her Majesty was engaged.

After the engagement, the empress naturally did not dance with the rest of the men.

It is worth mentioning that it is said that when Empress Alia held a birthday party that year, the dance partners selected for three consecutive years were all Phantom Peter, who did everything possible to sneak into the birthday banquet venue.

However, this time at Shinas's birthday party, suspicious people were all found by the Phantom.

As long as they are not chosen, the safety of Shinas can be guaranteed to the greatest extent, and the Phantom is pretending to be a dark mage mainly to find out the dangerous person before the ball begins!

After a while, when the colored lights on the stage converged and shone on Sinas, who was sitting on the throne of the Holy Land, accompanied by soft music, Shinas stepped down from the pedestal step by step, escorted by the head of the Knights, Mihal.

As Shinas passed by the VIP area in the front row, he smiled and said a few polite words to the kings and leaders of the major powers.

Conrad I, the king of Toy City, recommended his son Jack to Shinas, and the Grand Elder of Sky City, Morfel, also recommended his grandson to Shinas, and even forces such as the Earth Defense Headquarters, the Underwater World, and Shenmu Village came to participate.

No way, Shinas is currently the most noble woman in the entire adventure world, if she can let her son and grandson have a good relationship with Shinas, and even turn Shinas into her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, then it will be a great gain for these forces.

However, it was probably Shinas who saw their thoughts, politely declined their invitation, and continued on his way.

As Shinas stepped onto the red carpet and walked along the carpet into the crowd, ready to choose a suitable dance partner, a young man dressed in luxury rushed to Shinas with great recklessness.

Looking at his flushed face and the embarrassed appearance behind him, I am afraid that he was deliberately pushed in front of Shinas by someone.

The young man had a pair of brown eyes, short blond hair, and wore a well-fitting tuxedo, looking very handsome.

Shinas recognized it at a glance as the Drapalucci of the Delapalucci family. Veris.

When Shinas first set foot on the Holy Land ten years ago, not everyone was friendly to her. Although everyone knew that Shinas had a special bloodline that could resonate with the divine beast, a large number of people remained skeptical.

The Noblas, the Geyulas, and the Delapaluccis, the three major families of the Holy Land at the time, formed a Council of the Holy Land together with the Feiyao (the Tyre changed their name to the Feiyao) and the Buji.

Two of the three major families were against Shinas becoming empress at first, and even the Drapalucci family maintained a neutral attitude, if it weren't for the support of the Feiyao clan and the Buji clan, the native races of the Holy Land, coupled with the opinions of the divine beasts, I am afraid that Shinas would not be able to gain a foothold in the Holy Land at all.

In such an awkward situation, young Veris often came to play with Shinas, and although the two did not see each other much due to the urgency of Shinas's studies, they still maintained a very good friendship.

Veris took a deep breath, bowed slightly and stretched out his right hand to Shinas, and invited Shinas with an expectant face: "Your Majesty, if you don't dislike it, let me dance with you in this song!" ”

Faced with Veris's invitation, Shinas shook his head lightly and said to Veris with a smile, "I'm sorry! Veris, I've chosen my dance partner! Please be able to understand~~~"

Although Veris was very disappointed by this, he didn't say anything, just silently retreated.

Shinas is free to choose his own dance partner, the one that the Empress has decided, and no one can question it.

With graceful steps, Xinas walked unhurriedly to an inconspicuous table on the side of the stage, and slowly stretched out his right hand to Nebula, who was sitting at the table eating delicious strawberry cake.

Seeing the white and tender arm stretched out in front of him, Nebula put down the knife and fork in his hand with a blank face, and slowly stood up, he was just imagining, Shinas really came to invite him to dance!?

Nebula quickly pulled out his handkerchief, wiped his creamy mouth, and stretched out his right hand to Shinas, eagerly grabbing Shinas's outstretched arm.

Suddenly, Nebula felt a violent chill, and countless killing-sights were projected at Nebula from all directions.

This is the first time that Shinas has danced in public with a young man!! In order to protect Shinas, almost all of the large and small banquets held in the Holy Land were performed by Oz and Irina as Shinas's dance partners.

Looking at the kind and eerie smile of Sinas in front of him, Nebula suddenly understood why Shinas chose himself as his dance partner.

The Holy Land and its affiliated forces are intricate, and if Shinas chooses a member of one of the families as a dance partner, the remaining two families will definitely be wary of it, and it will become a fuse that causes discord between the affiliated families, and may even turn into a confrontational situation.

And the same is true for various countries and major families, no matter which force Shinas chooses as a dance partner, that force is likely to be alienated and targeted.

But if it is a small group like Nebula, it is different, Nebula has no direct stake in various countries and major forces, and does not have much impact on the division of countries and forces.

What's more, Xingyun worked hard to block the empress's gun before, although it is enviable to have such an honor, it is not surprising.

It can be said that in this birthday party, Nebula is one of the most suitable candidates.

It's just that for those young men who are looking forward to the Empress's birthday party, Nebula's outburst has undoubtedly shattered their dreams, and they naturally hate Nebula and grit their teeth.

Nebula took a deep breath, ignoring the countless murderous sights around him, gently tugged on Shinas's wrist, and walked to the center of the castle hall together.

At the signal of Nanhart, the musician's performance kicked off the ball, and beautiful music immediately filled the hall.

The members of the Nebula Squad also found their own dance partners, Anne and Juta, Ife and Ike, Sisoka and Samia.........

When you find a dance partner, you slowly stretch out your hands and put them on each other's shoulders and waists, and dance to the rhythm of the music.

Although Nebula has not learned to dance systematically, in the etiquette class of Sinas, Nebula learned some basic dance steps, even if Nebula's dance steps are not beautiful, but at least he does not step on his partner's feet from time to time like McGonagall and Assers.

Probably because he hadn't been in close contact with Shinas for a long time, Nebula's right hand with Shinas's fingers trembled, and the left hand on Shinas's waist trembled even more, as if it was twitching.

Seeing Nebula's unrelenting appearance, Shinas frowned slightly, and with his left hand on Nebula's arm, he pinched the flesh on Nebula's arm fiercely, and whispered to Nebula: "Pay attention to me!" If you dare to embarrass me at the prom, I will definitely want you to look good after the prom!! ”

At this time, I don't know if it was intentional, a pair of young dancers strayed into the vicinity of Nebula and Shinas.

The young male dancer was a bit special, with a pair of white wings on his back, and Shinas recognized him at a glance, he was the grandson recommended by the previous Great Elder of Sky City, Mofil.

The woman next to Moloch was also a young white-feather woman, and the white-feathered woman's eyes had always been on Molok in front of her, while the smiling Moloch had been staring at Shinas who was dancing with the nebula.

Probably trying to prove that he was the right fit, Moloch and the young White Feather women danced gracefully in the center of the banquet.

The beautiful costumes unique to the White Feather Clan, coupled with the pair of white wings behind them, attracted the eyes of a large part of the people to their graceful dancing, and even forgot for a moment that this was the ball of the Empress Shinas.

Seeing this situation, the Grand Elder Mofei, who was in the VIP seat, was so angry that he blew his slender white beard, stomped his feet on the ground, and made a noise at Her Majesty's birthday banquet. This grandson of his own is really stupid!!

When Shinas turned his back to Moloch, Morlock blinked and gave Nebula a defiant look.

Nebula exploded in anger and almost stepped on the instep of Shinas because of it.

After a while, the tempo of the music became much faster. Nebula calmed down and took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly became sharp, he would never let Xinas be ashamed of himself.

Nebula recalls the basic steps that Shinas had taught him in his etiquette class, deducing them in his mind with mental power, and then manifesting them through his body according to the rhythm of the music he heard with his ears.

Almost instantly, Nebula and Shinas's dance moves went from lackluster to graceful, every whirl, even every change of foot.

Just as the nebula burst out, Moloch and the white-feathered female companion suddenly flapped their white wings and flew up, dancing in the air.

The dance in the air was the preserve of the White Feather people, and the unique thing naturally attracted more attention, and everyone who had just been attracted by Nebula and Shinas's agile dance turned their eyes to Moloch and his female companion.

The dance began to come to an end, and the dance became faster and faster as the music picked up the pace.

In desperation, Nebula condensed the ice magic elements with his feet and took a cold step. Suddenly, a thin layer of ice condensed on the ground within a radius of 10 meters with the nebula as the center.

In his familiar ice environment, Nebula took over the control from Shinas and led Shinas to glide deftly and dance gracefully on the ice.

For people from various countries and major powers who have never seen ice and snow, the dance in ice of Nebula and Shinas is more eye-catching than the dance in the air, and a large part of the people turn their attention to the protagonist of today's banquet.

Probably because he couldn't adapt to the ice conditions, and just as the rhythm of the music was about to reach its fastest, Xinas accidentally slipped and leaned backwards, unable to grab Nebula's arm.

At this time, most of the guests were watching Nebula and Shinas dance, and they couldn't help but sigh for Nebula when they saw that Shinas was about to fall.

Such a good opportunity to soar flew away. They didn't think that the Empress would take a fancy to a little adventurer who made a fool of herself in front of everyone.

Just when Sinas was still a few centimeters from the ground, Nebula suddenly leaned forward, stretched out his right foot to maintain a one-foot squatting position, and hugged Shinas with both hands in the form of a princess hug, and then Nebula began to use all his strength to rotate rapidly.

Since the nebula has its right foot extended, the center of gravity after rotation is all on the nebula's left foot.

As the rhythm of the music reached its fastest, the nebula began to spin faster, and the nebula slowly lifted Sinas in his arms as it rotated.

As the speed of the nebula's rotation accelerated, countless crystal dust swayed on the ice, and it looked as if the two of them were in an ice and snow fairyland.

At the moment when the music ended, the spinning nebula took advantage of the stickiness of the ice under its feet and stopped for a short time.

Nebula held Sinas's waist with both hands and lifted Sinasto up, and Shinas was embarrassed, but also performed a graceful dance pose.

The guests burst into thunderous applause after seeing the final beautiful scene in the flying ice crystal dust..........

(People who have never officially danced write about dancing, it's really hard to write~~~ means that they have only done radio gymnastics~~~~~~(>_<)~~~~)
