Chapter Index

    Heli said something about bringing shoes as a gift, and as soon as she opened the box, Heli immediately panicked when she saw the shoes that were revealed.

    ‘Shoes of the same design…?’

    The shoes Karssein brought had the same design as the shoes she had sent as a gift to harass Harnier earlier.

    I couldn’t help but be embarrassed.

    This is because, in the style of nobles, it has some kind of meaning.

    Heli slowly rolls her eyes at Karssein.

    If he came because Harnier mentioned this, then Karssein came to take revenge on him.

    but.

    “What do you do without trying them on?”

    It doesn’t look like he came to get angry, let alone retaliate, and it doesn’t look like he came to point this out.

    Like an idiot who doesn’t know anything.

    He was smiling.

    ‘okay. That can’t be possible. ‘What kind of nonsense are you worrying about?’

    As expected, it is the same.

    There is no way that nobles know what it means to send shoes of the same design.

    The shoes that did not fit the size were originally intended to bother Harnier.

    Considering the woman’s situation, it would be rare for her to refuse… In fact, Karssein had other variables.

    But as it seems now, he knows nothing.

    If you had sent the shoes back because they were of an odd size, you would have had to remove your feet slightly, saying it was a lack of respect for the other person.

    If the interpretation was a little more extreme and the intensity increased to the level of slander or deception, you should take a prepared step and say that that was not your intention.

    If the shoes had been damaged and returned without being worn, there would have been some problems, but Harnier is in a position where that is impossible since he is the illegitimate son of Marquis Theresia in the first place.

    In the end, there was no problem with Harnier since he didn’t say anything until he started dancing in the wrong size shoes.

    Not only that, but the follow-up was also the same.

    He didn’t even bring shoes he had worn once.

    It doesn’t even look like it was sent with any kind of meaning.

    Considering that he heard about the situation from Harnier, the shoes are in very good condition.

    In the end, being a genius is something that does not change.

    Rather than turning his back on the heavy rituals and culture of the nobility, he was smiling so lightly… It was clear that he had no other intentions.

    Heli felt relieved and took out her shoes and put them on.

    “You look good on me.”

    “Thank you.”

    Although I responded to Karssein’s compliment with a smile, my inner thoughts were not like that.

    ‘…This is a bit of a strange size.’

    When you put the sole of your foot in, the inside becomes so full that it shrinks slightly. If that wasn’t enough, how narrow is the top of the foot? When I tried to put them on all the way, my feet chafed.

    How could you want to give someone a gift without even finding out what size shoes they are wearing… but it all ends up in the same vein.

    Because Karsein is not a nobleman.

    I can’t say anything because I don’t know anything about the etiquette of nobles.

    ‘I have to endure it. Because the benefit that can be gained from this is greater.’

    I had an opportunity to use this idiot to plunge Harnier into the abyss, but I couldn’t blow it away with petty complaints.

    Helly puts his feet in as much as possible and walks a few steps in his new shoes as if nothing is wrong.

    “Thankfully, it fits my foot.”

    “Is that so? Thank goodness.”

    This should be enough to say thank you.

    Let’s get to the point.

    Heli offers her hand and signals for an escort.

    “Then, shall we go straight to the ballroom and dance a song?”

    “Hmm? Do you mean right away like this?”

    “Yes. The song just ended, so wouldn’t it be okay to go out and dance right away? If not, do you have any other plans?”

    “It’s not like that, but…”

    Karssein appeared hesitant.

    “We haven’t worked together even once. It would be better to at least practice.”

    That’s correct.

    Liberal arts teachers who teach dance also mentioned that working well with a partner is the most important thing, and other secondary things should not be relegated to second place or lower.

    That’s how important it is to practice with a partner.

    Also, Heli, a nobleman, knew well how well they had to work together to be able to dance without problems and without interfering with each other.

    but.

    There is no time for that now.

    ‘Thanks to you, not only the dancers but also the ladies who were renowned for their dancing skills felt insulted.’

    There is no need for time to practice.

    Anyway, if you look at Karssein’s dance with Harnier, he is a person who is quite skilled in handling his body, and since he has such skills, there is no need for practice.

    It would have been better to put this storm to rest as soon as possible.

    “Everyone is looking forward to your next dance. Looking at how you covered up Lady Harnier’s last mistake so naturally, it didn’t seem like there was any need to practice, right?”

    “That’s too much praise. It’s never that much.”

    “That’s excessive praise. Be proud of yourself for having that level of skill. If my partner had been a little more perfect, I could have been able to handle the awkward movements that appeared in between.”

    “Hmm…”

    “If you had danced with someone better than Lady Harnier, you would have received great praise. Like the person who first came up with the dance and performed it. I daresay that Confucius will not need any particular practice?”

    Carcein looked perplexed.

    ‘You lowlife bastard. Why is your answer so late? It should be considered an honor to dance even once with a real nobleman who is not an illegitimate child!’

    If this continues, practice time will be created for no reason.

    I can’t. Heli added as if urging Karssein.

    “If not, are you doubting my dancing skills?”

    “No.”

    Then Karssein waved his hand.

    “I have heard very well about Lady Heli’s skills. I heard that among all the ladies in society, she has the finest dancing skills and has never made a mistake.”

    okay! You know that, but why on earth would you refuse?

    “But, I was worried that I might make a mistake. What happens if you fall because of me?”

    her. Am I falling because of you?

    That makes sense!

    “That won’t happen.”

    Rectifying naturally when you make a mistake is also a skill.

    In addition, directing your partner’s movements and sending signals is also a skill.

    I am confident that we will never fall behind in that area.

    “Hmm… Is that so?”

    “Don’t worry, just follow me. I’ll let you know.”

    Karssein thought for a moment and then made a decision.

    -Squeak.

    “I understand. Let’s go dancing.”

    “…”

    Instead of holding the outstretched hand, you open the door and go out.

    ‘This idiot until the end…’

    No, there would be no way for a commoner to know that it was an escort.

    Even though I’m annoyed, I have to endure it for now.

    All you have to do is pull Harnier down anyway.

    All you have to do is use it until then and throw it away.

    -Ttogak, ttogak.

    Thick!

    ‘…Tsk!’

    Heli endured the creeping pain and entered the hall again.

    ***

    When I brought shoes with the exact same design as the shoes I sent to Harnier. Until then, even Heli had a day of caution.

    As a noble, she would know very well what it meant to bring something like this back to her. And if you know that Karssein is Harnier’s fiancé, you’ll be even more wary.

    However, when he slyly pretended not to know anything, his guard was soon torn down.

    If you were a little wary of these shoes, you would immediately realize that something was strange, but when you realized that the other person was me, you quickly let your guard down.

    The rest was easy.

    Shoes that did not fit the size were never destroyed on the spot, and no comments or refutations were made.

    Even though he felt pain, Helly walked in those shoes and spoke to me calmly. The prom isn’t over yet, so let’s dance outside.

    After that… a truly funny scene unfolded.

    ‘It’s like he’s enduring the pain and somehow trying to dance with me.’

    Not only that, but his expression changed from time to time.

    Although his eyes were smiling, I felt like everyone could see how frustrated he was. So, when I spent some more time wearing those shoes, he praised me and tried to take me outside to dance.

    There was even gossip going on, such as pointing out Harnier’s mistakes or criticizing her dancing skills, so it was hard not to know their intentions.

    Heli has only one goal.

    The goal was to steal a person named Karssein Bagland from Harnier.

    If you dance while wearing the shoes you received as a gift from Karssein, you can easily inflate the rumors.

    ‘under. ‘Why is it that there is no difference between the things that harass people in such a mean way?’

    Thanks to this, old memories vaguely came to mind.

    It’s not my experience, but I remember it.

    Female students who bully others by destroying their belongings.

    One person who suffered silently among them.

    She was receiving all kinds of gossip, including a bad rumor that another friend had seduced the man she was interested in.

    In some ways, this situation was not much different from the situation that my one and only friend went through.

    An appearance that attracts envy and jealousy.

    An isolated situation with no one to help.

    Even the choice to endure the pain in solitude and pass it on without saying a word was like that.

    So, I may be doing something stupid right now that will only result in losses.

    “It looks like the stage is ready. Well then, shall we go up?”

    The time has come to get out of your thoughts.

    The stage was ready, and it was time for me to go on stage with Helly, who personally presented me with shoes.

    I went on stage calmly, just like I had from the beginning.

    The music rings out soon.

    Heli skillfully gave me signals and recommended my next move. It seems like your dancing skills are unrivaled.

    but.

    “Oh my.”

    “Ugh?!”

    I intentionally interrupted that flow.

    As Heli stumbled on stage, the attention of the nobles was focused.

    I can’t help but be shocked that Heli stumbled while dancing. When asked how this happened, I spoke in a voice that everyone could hear.

    “Isn’t this…? Things went well when I was with Lady Harnier…”

    “…”

    “I guess I was very nervous. Sorry.”

    This alone would have greatly hurt my pride.

    I was good at dancing the difficult dance with Harnier, but when I danced with Helli, I ended up falling apart like this. Isn’t this a situation where it’s okay to doubt your skills?

    In a situation where there is a clear comparison, the conversation will go in the wrong direction, so you have no choice but to pay attention.

    But the true value of this behavior is not the mental stress.

    Stress may build up mentally, but it is probably the body that offends you more.

    As you stumble around in shoes that are not the right size, the pain accumulates layer after layer. Just like Harnier did.

    We need to tell these despicable people straight.

    I have repeatedly caused Heli more pain than Harnier suffered.

    “Ugh…!”

    “Oh, sorry.”

    Next time too.

    “Heo-eup…!”

    “I’m sorry for this mistake.”

    Even after that.

    “Da, you…!”

    “That’s strange. Things went well when I was with Lady Harnier…?”

    Step on it. bumping into each other While interfering.

    In the past, he was compared to Harnier and pushed to the verge of bringing out his temper.

    Heli, who was sweating, finally opened her mouth.

    “Carsein. The last one matches my movements. Got it?”

    Is informal language leaking out now?

    Unlike Harnier, not only the facial expressions, but also the tone of voice, tone of voice, and even patience are all different.

    The look in his eyes was as if it would slap him in the face if he made one more mistake.

    That means you’ve been pushed to your limit, right?

    Hello.

    “So you shouldn’t have touched an innocent person.”

    “What…?”

    “This is your karma. You trashy bitch.”

    At the climax, I openly whispered that and completely disrupted Heli’s breathing.

    “Aaaah!”

    Unable to hold on, Heli falls down on stage.

    As she fell, her eyes turned bloody and turned towards me.

    However, her eyes soon turned towards the audience watching the stage.

    “Hmm. Does this mean that Lady Heli’s dancing skills have become outdated?”

    “The nickname Liquila’s Dancer is almost too much.”

    “Even though my partner is Karsein, who performed all the difficult dances, I can’t believe I can only do this much.”

    “At this rate, I can’t even be used as a dance teacher.”

    It was clear that his fragile pride was torn to shreds at this moment.

    “You… can’t believe this…!”

    Heli looked at me in shock as if she had finally noticed.

    okay. I was aiming for it from the beginning.

    Sending them shoes that are the wrong size and making them have the same experience.

    By wasting time or intentionally pretending to make a mistake, I increased the intensity of the pain.

    And at the end, it was a scene that Harnier would have wanted to experience, and it was thoroughly repaid.

    -Sending a new, completely identical gift means doing the same thing in return.

    Just like Camilla said.
