In Another World, the Boy Was Spoiled by the Iron Knight!-Chapter 320: The First Dance

They looked happy together.

Shiao Yi wanted to eat too.

Was it really forbidden for him to go?

It probably was.

Huh? Speaking of which, where was Aaron?

He should’ve been the first to show up.

Where did he go? He was noisy, but when he wasn’t around, Shiao Yi felt uneasy. He had a bad feeling...

Jaan!

Suddenly, music burst out and a lively rhythm immediately filled the hall.

Over there was a whole orchestra.

A live orchestra!

Shiao Yi had never seen one before.

While he stared in amazement, Dominic grabbed his arm.

"The first dance is done by us, the guests of honor."

Eeeeh?! Why didn’t anyone tell him?! He couldn’t dance!

Just when he thought he had reached the biggest crisis, life updated the crisis again.

Shiao Yi was in trouble once more.

He stepped forward after being dragged by Dominic into the center of the great hall.

The eyes of the huge crowd watching them felt painfully sharp.

The polished marble floor was inlaid with black stone like obsidian and green and blue stones arranged in a mosaic.

The center of the hall formed an arabesque pattern.

As the two of them stood there, the sparkling light of the chandeliers poured down on them.

"Leave it to me," Dominic whispered into his ear.

Yes.

He decided to leave everything to him.

The orchestra began to play a waltz.

They separated and bowed.

The moment they lifted their heads and met each other’s eyes, the air snapped and changed.

For Shiao Yi, everything around him vanished.

In the next instant, too fast for normal eyes to follow, Dominic’s right fist shot forward.

Shiao Yi blocked with his left arm on reflex and using the rebound, he sent a sharp hand strike toward Dominic’s neck.

Dominic knocked it aside and aimed a punch at Shiao Yi’s chest.

Before he realized it, the two of them were exchanging blows at incredible speed.

Dodododo.

Jaaaaan.

They suddenly jumped apart, creating distance again.

Zun-cha, zun-cha.

To the lively rhythm of the music, both of them moved in close again, this time they are exchanging kicks.

Dominic’s white cape fluttered and the bright red inside flashed strikingly with every turn.

For some reason, the orchestra’s rhythm matched perfectly.

Dominic was the one keeping the beat and Shiao Yi was simply reacting to Dominic’s attacks.

Jaaaaan.

Again, they separated, then at the start of the next measure, they rushed in and traded attacks once more. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Was this supposed to be a dance? Or some kind of martial performance?

The noble ladies and gentlemen around them were staring with their mouths hanging open, unable to even speak.

"Whoa!"

"It’s amazing!"

It seemed the knights were loving it.

Shiao Yi was having fun too.

Dominic also looked like he was enjoying himself since the corner of his mouth lifting in a grin.

The music was finally reaching its climax.

Dominic grabbed Shiao Yi’s arm, spun him in a big circle and then threw him with full force.

"Whoa! He threw him!"

"Kyaa!!"

While the crowd screamed, Shiao Yi twisted his body in midair, did a moonsault, and landed cleanly.

His skirt fluttered open for a moment, well, not a dress and not a real skirt, but still.

Using the same momentum, he pushed off the floor and rushed straight at Dominic.

He stretched out his leg for a kick, but Dominic caught it and this time threw him straight upward into the air.

While showing off a forward somersault with a full twist, Shiao Yi dropped neatly into the arms Dominic held open for him.

He fit there perfectly and the orchestra struck its final attack and ended the piece.

Dominic still wouldn’t let go of him and he keeps holding him tightly, so Shiao Yi bowed together with Dominic toward the audience just like that.

While the noble ladies were still frozen in shock, the knights stomped the floor and burst into loud applause.

Yes, the performance was a big success.

Especially for the crown prince Prince Amiri, his eyes was sparkling with excitement.

He clenched his fist as he said, "Amazing! Amazing! That’s so cool!"

Beside the shocked Lady Ashe, little Alaric was hopping up and down screaming happily.

Shiao Yi was glad they enjoyed it.

"Such a fresh and original dance," the chancellor said.

As soon as Shiao Yi and Dominic stepped away from the center, the couples started dancing to the orchestra’s music.

The chancellor handed them wine glasses while laughing heartily.

It seemed he enjoyed it too.

Shiao Yi had been tense from being in an unfamiliar place, but after breaking a light sweat, he finally felt his shoulders relax.

The performance had been completely sudden, with no practice at all, but this must be what people call perfect timing and instinct.

Dominic knew all of Shiao Yi’s habits and reactions.

He knew everything about him very well and that thought made Shiao Yi a little embarrassed.

"As expected of you, my Shiao Yi. Our timing was perfect. You matched my movements very well."

When Shiao Yi looked up, Dominic’s eyes were sweet.

What was that? The charm was overflowing everywhere.

Please control it! It made Shiao Yi blush.

"What’s this? You two are really showing off,"

Johan said with a grin.

During the ceremony, he had kept his collar perfectly neat, but now it was a little open, giving him the dangerous charm of a slightly bad older man.

"The martial arts you used earlier were interesting. It may be good to use them in the knights’ training," said Quintus beside him.

He’s so serious, as always.

No one else could look that perfect in the crimson knight formal uniform except for him.

"Hey, hey, at least today, enjoy yourself without thinking about work. Let’s go eat, eat,"

Johan said as he slapped Quintus’s shoulder again and again, pushing him toward the large table filled with food.

Those two were always together in one way or another.

Maybe that was what people called a long and unbreakable bond.
