I still remember being a 30-year-old company employee in my previous life, and the feeling that I was doing something wrong in a place like this hasn’t disappeared yet.
Big Brother was already a great ruler at such a young age, and I wondered how I could be of help to him.
I intend to do my best to support Big Brother because I am a brocon!
Ekaterina shook her brother’s hand.
Alexei smiled at his sister, squeezed her hand back and whispered.
“It’s time to show the results of your practice, Ekaterina.”
Kyah!
I wanted to run away so badly, even though I had just sworn I would stand by his side.
The two of us had to dance the first dance of this feast together in front of all of these people! Who made the rule that the highest-ranking person should dance first?
Ekaterina smiled, not letting her feelings show.
“It is a pleasure to dance with Big Brother.”

The round dance music played by the best musicians in the northern capital flowed lightly, lifting the hearts of those who listened.
In the center of the grand hall, the duke and his sister danced gracefully. The beauty of their movements was in harmony with their performance, as if the music was flowing out of them.
The people, especially the young people, were gaping at the beautiful duo as they danced close together, exchanging glances and fluttering in circles.
Alexei’s tall figure, enhanced by his black robe and white beauty, really stood out in the ballroom. The cool-headed man, who was also known as the “Ice Rose,” was gently leading his sister with a faint smile, as if he had forgotten his usual expressionless face.
Ekaterina danced gracefully, her plump lips never failing to show a joyful smile as she left herself to her brother’s lead. Her slender gown did not restrict her movements, and the hem of her gown, which resembled the petals of a blue rose, swayed as she moved.
Even though the dress was so modestly designed that her ankles peeked out only slightly when she moved, the young men in the audience couldn’t stop their hearts from pounding faster with her alluring curves.
The more discerning among the audience would have noticed a lack of familiarity with Ekaterina’s footwork, but they knew this was her first time dancing. But knowing that this was her first dance, they rather liked the inexperience.
The Ice Rose and the Blue Rose, siblings.
The banquet guests were completely enchanted by Yurinova’s two beautiful roses.
–I imagined that waltz and other social dances were a symbol of high society.
According to my memory from my previous life, in the Middle Ages and early modern times, this kind of dance in which a man and a woman were in close contact with each other was considered inappropriate and was supposed to have been banned, you see.
It was said that nobles danced in formal occasions, even in male-female pairs, but never embraced each other.
The classical piece “Pavane for a departed princess” was a kind of dance loved by the aristocrats of that time. I heard that contact between a man and a woman was limited to holding hands at most.
However, in the 19th century, the waltz became very popular in Vienna, and from there it spread rapidly, and this type of close contact became the image of high society.
When I think about it, it was most definitely inappropriate. They wrap their arms around each other’s bodies and get very close to each other.
But it was said that in this world, or rather the Imperial Kingdom, dancing was the norm, with men and women embracing in pairs much earlier than in my previous life.
Why, because students learned it at the Magic Academy!
