I hope they have a happy life!
Magda hesitated, glancing down at her feet again. "I don't want to embarrass Micheal," she admitted quietly. "The court already whispers about me enough. If I fail, it'll fall on him too."

Got it! I only remember your name! I assumed it was you.
Thank you starlight!
Magda's lips twitched in amusement as she watched the two women exchange their usual banter. Vivian folded her arms across her chest, her tall frame radiating a mix of annoyance and reluctant tolerance, while Calista tilted her head, her expression entirely unbothered.

I've trauma from dancing. Anything but that.
"Then I'll get better," Micheal said firmly, his voice steady despite the slight tremor in his hands. "I'll make sure she never has to worry."

If Magda is a bad dancer, Micheal might have to time himself to make their dancing look graceful. I was reading about some local noble, seems like the woman was considered a great dancer, but since she was very pious, she only danced with her husband, dad or brother.

I loved that story.

She took a sip of her tea, a small smile gracing her lips. Perhaps one day they'll figure it all out. Until then, I'll savor the chaos.

Micheal chuckled. "Careful, Adrian. You might be missing out on Shelb's next great tradition: tea duels."

Unsling it for a bit, like I did. But his partner is pretty strong to support him.
The Shelb estate ballroom buzzed with nervous energy as the family prepared for their impromptu dance lesson.

Let’s be honest, she would have screwed up that dance like she did for her debut.
"It's not about whether it will work," Raphael said, his voice softening. "It's about ensuring that no one—no whispers, no rumors—can touch you. You will make a grand debut, little dove. One worthy of my daughter."
