The Northern Grand Duke's Hamster|북 부대공의 햄스터 (English Translation/Unofficial)

Chapter 18

“Do you not want to?”

I asked wiping the crumbs of the cookie on my mouth.

Kyle looked at me strangely, probably because I suddenly took out and ate a cookie from my pocket. Still, he offered his hand gently after I finished eating.

“Until now, I have never danced with the same person twice at the banquet.”

Ah, is that so? If you don’t like it, then let me go. It doesn’t really matter who I dance with. I only want to get closer to Belial just in case something happens.

I thought he would let me go find someone else, instead he tightened his grasp and took me to the dance floor.

“…..”

This punk. Please be consistent with your words and actions~ Your mouth says something, but your body moves otherwise.

“I thought you don’t dance with the same person twice?”

I asked Kyle teasingly, yet he calmly replied,

“Well, I didn’t say I didn’t want to do it.”

“Ah…”

I understand.

Well, it is indeed better to dance with him, lest I step on other people’s toes. Not to mention, he’s good at leading the dance, so there’s no need to worry about making the wrong movement.

Soon, a sharp sound from the violin signaled the start of the next dance. Is this Chaconne? Even after listening to it, I couldn’t figure out what the music was. Whatever, I don’t have time to listen leisurely anyways.

This time, I shamelessly put my feet on his at the start of the dance. Kyle seemed perfectly fine with it and even danced to the music lightly as if I weighed nothing. The music this time seemed faster earlier, so the beat of the dance was considerably quicker, yet Kyle didn’t seem to exert that much effort even as he carried me.

‘He’s really strong.’

I kept turning my head trying to find Belial and Sen. It was a good thing Sen’s dress was a bright green color that reflected the chandelier’s light. It was fairly easy to find them among the crowd.

Wait! No! That fool, Belial. Don’t go to the center! Do you want to get hit with a chandelier!

“Ah!”

Sadly, a prince is indeed treated like a prince. The crowd that was originally dancing merrily at the center, instinctively moved aside. Kyle, after some consideration as well, left the center area.

'No… This shouldn’t’

My insides felt like it was burning at the thought of what will happen if this continues.

With an uncomfortable feeling, my eyes traveled to look at the chandelier. Why does it look like it’s shaking? The glare of the chandelier was bright enough to make me squint, yet I couldn’t help but continue glancing at Belial and the chandelier above him.

At that time, Kyle switched our positions and took back my attention from the chandelier.

“Won’t you focus?”

I replied flatly,

“Do I have to focus? Your Highness is doing all the dancing anyways.”

That’s why, dance well, don’t mind what I’m doing. Don’t let people laugh at us. Even though it’s fine for me, since I already have no honor nor human rights, it’s different for you, the Duke of Blake needs to keep his dignity.
