Chapter 168: Reunion

Lucius and Rena walked to the center of the ballroom after leaving the leaders of the representative nations behind. Her hand felt small and delicate within his own. As she trained with magic more than the sword, her hands were still soft and smooth, unlike the roughness of a warrior like himself.

When they reached the center, the musicians noticed and began to play a tune meant for dancing. Though he was not well-practiced, Lucius did take some lessons in dancing and other basic skills required of a noble. His father insisted that getting the basics down was a necessity as the son of House Kane.

It also helped that he had been made into Rena's partner many times over their youth as she was taught the lessons a lady should know. Many of those included dancing. It was those lessons of the past, along with the reminders of the lessons, that allowed him to gracefully glide along the marble with his new bride in hand.
