Princess Delia had taken the initiative to invite Lynn to dance?!
Gasps echoed throughout the hall.
If glances could kill, Lynn would have been slain by the stares of the aristocratic young men in the room a thousand times over.
Especially Augustine.
He tightly bitten his lips.
Inferior in both strength and talent to Lynn, he was also outdone by the fact that the girl he liked favored Lynn especially.
He was deeply hurt.
The faces of the aristocratic young ladies were filled with disappointment.
Under Delia's radiance, their beauty seemed pale and dull.
All eyes were on Lynn.
How enviable it was to win the favor of Princess Delia.
Lynn hesitated for a moment before saying helplessly, "I really don't know how to dance..."
Gasps erupted in the hall once again.
Everyone looked at Lynn with disbelief.
He actually...rejected Princess Delia's invitation?!
Augustine clenched his fists tightly out of anger.
How arrogant...
Augustine wanted to rush up and challenge Lynn to a duel immediately.
Even if he was no match for Lynn, he would defend the princess's nobility and dignity with his own body.
Rolin was completely stunned.
His jaw hung open wide, not only failing to close, but actually gaping wider.
Lynn...had he gone mad?!
Didn't he realize how fortunate it was to receive an invitation from the princess?!
Perhaps only Delia knew for sure.
Lynn was serious.
His clear and sincere eyes told her that Lynn wasn't looking for excuses to decline, he really didn't know how to dance.
Dancing was not included in the etiquette course at the Saint Irises Magic Academy.
King Levy III furrowed his brows slightly.
He admired Lynn greatly, almost seeing him as the next Gladstone, so the royal family would deliberately court him.
But compared to an undeveloped magical prodigy, Delia held a much higher position in his heart.
He even considered revoking Lynn's knighthood on the spot.
Prince Lister's face bore a playful smile, as if he was eagerly anticipating the unfolding drama.
The atmosphere in the hall became tense.
Suddenly, Delia chuckled, and her instantaneous beauty made everyone's vision blur.
The ice and snow melted away.
"It's okay..."
Delia winked playfully at Lynn and extended a hand to him.
"I can teach you."
Everyone groaned inwardly. For Lynn, Princess Delia had even lowered herself so much...
This time, there was no reason to refuse, right?
Dare to refuse again, boy, and you'll regret it...
Warning glances filled the room.
"Okay!"
Lynn replied simply, seizing the perfect and delicate hand.
Envious glances intensified instantly.
He had actually grabbed Princess Delia's hand?!
He dared to grab Princess Delia's hand?!
How...
Enviable.
Delia's hand was small, soft, and delicate.
It felt very comfortable to hold.
Delia's face turned slightly red.
This was supposed to be an invitation gesture made by aristocratic gentlemen to their beloved girls.
Now she was the one taking the initiative to do it to Lynn.
Delia's heart pounded like a deer's.
Holding Lynn with one hand and her long skirt with the other, she happily walked towards the center of the dance floor.
Her lavender hair fluttered slightly with her movements.
The two were very close.
Lynn's eyes were filled with even more confusion.
A faint fragrance of wisteria flowers... He seemed to have smelled it somewhere before.
Lynn's left hand gently rested on Delia's waist, while his right hand clung to Delia's hand.
Delia whispered, "Like this... Step by step, take it slow, it's actually very simple."
Lynn concentrated as intently as he did when attending Professor Gladstone's magic lectures, learning carefully.
Delia's melodious laughter, like a nightingale's, kept echoing amidst the harp music.
"No, no, you should step out with your left foot first..."
"You stepped on my dress again! Are you really a magical prodigy... Giggle..."
"Sorry, I'm as clumsy as a duck..."
The atmosphere of the dinner party once again became harmonious and joyful.
King Levy III's brows relaxed. He could see that his daughter was very happy.
Except for some boys and girls who were secretly watching the couple from the corners, feeling jealous and depressed, and could only keep pouring liquor down their throats.
Rolin seized the opportunity and, after trying four or five times, finally succeeded in inviting an aristocratic young lady who had been rejected by Lynn and was feeling extremely low to dance with him.
There was another pair of eyes that were always tightly fixed on the couple.
"Your Highness..."
Someone quickly approached Lister and spoke respectfully.
Lister raised his wine goblet and took a slow sip before saying indifferently, "Did you bring it?"
"Yes, it's in the carriage outside the palace."
"Good..."
Lister nodded satisfactorily and murmured, "This new advanced spiritual potion cost me a total of 50,000 gold coins. It not only enhances meditation efficiency but also improves a magician's perception of fire elements... Lynn specializes in fire magic, he'll definitely like it..."
"After the dinner party, give it to him."
"Yes."
The person replied and hesitated, "Your Highness, do you need to convey any message to him?"
Lister narrowed his eyes, "Just tell him it's a little gift from me. I hope to make friends with him..."
"Understood."
"By the way..."
Lister glanced at his subordinate and inquired, "Have you found the master who formulated this potion, or have you found the potion recipe..."
"No."
The subordinate shook his head, "Everyone at the Shelley Chamber of Commerce who sold the potion at the auction house has been arrested and questioned. They said a man named Lancaster sold the potion to them. They also had their eyes on the potion recipe, but the two fourth-level magicians and fourth-level knights they sent never returned..."
"Fool!"
Lister sneered disdainfully.
"How could a magician who can devise such a magical potion be handled by mere fourth-level beings..."
Lister looked at Lynn's back on the dance floor and whispered, "Lancaster... Another Lancaster..."
"The Orlando Empire already has one Gladstone. I don't want to see another one appear... If you're smart, you might become a part of my Lister I's..."
