บท 119: DANCE

"Can you do ritual dancing?" Achis whispered to her as Tala started to dance magnificently, almost every eye was on her as her swords danced with her body. Achis took this chance to talk to Yanarym, he was worried.

"Of course not, have you seen me do pag-aanitu before?" She scowled at him. Despite thinking of Achis only as her benefactor, she still considers him as someone close to her. And she was highly impressed by his ideals and way of governing. She won't let this event lose his credentials in front of these chiefs. 

"Then, why did you stop me from excusing you?"

"And what? Do you want to disrespect the Rajah and Hara? Are you stupid?" She hissed on him, Achis paused and thought she was right. However, did she just call him stupid? 

"It's better than embarrassing yourself." 

"Hey, don't you trust me? Trust me on this." 

"Are you sure? We can just say you had a bad stomach and rest in your room."
