Kaizen of course did not object.

"You two are the organizers, do as you please."

Astelle gave her brother a look of gratitude.

Choosing to do the waltz was an excellent choice.

This is because, unlike minuet, the waltz is a dance where two people dance closely together, so the man can support the woman.

"Do you remember when you were young and practiced dancing for fun?"

"Of course."

Astelle recalled memories of her practicing a waltz and standing on her brother's foot when she was about six or seven years old.

Fritz looked delighted that Astelle remembers that moment.

"Let's do it like then."

"I must be too heavy."

Fritz lowered his voice and smiled.

"It's okay."

The sweet melody of the waltz was heard.

Still, I couldn't get on my brother's foot as I did when I was young.

Astelle followed his steps, raising her heels so that the tattered heels did not touch the floor.

She nearly lost balance a few times, but luckily she was able to follow his steps without a hitch.

Every time Astelle stumbled as if to fall, Fritz grabbed her and led the steps.

Astelle leaned on his arm and managed to keep pace.

Even while supporting Astelle like that, Fritz didn't seem troubled at all.

Astelle looked up at her brother and admired him inwardly.

'You have great strength.'

Fritz was once the leader of the Imperial Knights.

It seems that it is not difficult to support Astelle's body because he has strength-trained in swordsmanship.

After a few rounds like that, the first music ended.

Fritz stepped out of the center of the ballroom, supporting Astelle.

Astelle whispered to him without moving her lips, not losing her smile.

"Please go to the balcony."

People looked a little curious, but no one asked where they were going.

It's not unusual to take a break after dancing.

Astelle went up to the balcony on the second floor with Fritz.

As she leaned against the railing of the balcony, she let out a sigh.

Astelle expressed her gratitude to Fritz with a weary face,

"Thank you very much."

Fritz asked with a worried look on his face,

"Why don't you ask His Majesty's permission and go to the mansion?"

"No."

There was no need for that.

Even if I wanted to go back anyway, Kaizen wouldn't let me go.

Now that I've finished the first dance, I don't need to do it again.

I can spend time here.

Hannah noticed something was wrong and hurriedly followed Astelle to the balcony.
