Morning Dew's

"Elber, are you sure I should be wearing these clothes ?" Yuki said back for the umpteenth time. Elber rolled her eyeballs. Yuki bit her lips in dismay. He is not confident in his appearance. "Don't you feel like my clothes are too revealing ?"

Yuki regrets that she didn't keep Dancing clothes at school. 

"What do you think Dancing Clothes are. Let's see Norah, she's braver than you" Elber said sternly.

"You sure you don't have more covered clothes ?" yuki again was not satisfied.

Lady Hazel as the dancing teacher has entered the stage following Princess Norah. He will be the judge overseeing the course of the match. Yuki had absolutely no idea that the small gamble he made would be like this.

He cursed Princess Norah inwardly for raising too much trouble.

"Stop Whining, Now it's your turn to perform" Elber forcibly pulled the cloth covering Yuki. Yuki tries to fight back but Elber has already touched the cloth in her hand firmly until it breaks from Yuki's grip. "Stop acting like a child. Come out bravely like a knight"

Without a kick, Yuki was pushed out of the area. He almost fell down if he did not hold on to the stage curtain. 

"Elber !!" Yuki's protest was half whispered.

"Sorry" Elber grimaced as she clenched her hands forward.

The cheers sounded so loud that it made the stage seem to tremble. Yuki walked awkwardly towards Madam Hazel. Princess Norah looked at Yuki's appearance, clearly demeaning to her.

Yuki clenched both hands forward trying to cover her body. He's very uncomfortable wearing this.

"I've prepared a hundred goats in the central field specifically for you. Are you ready to kiss them ?" said Princess Norah in a haughty style. He is very confident in winning the games they will do.

"What about you ?. Are you ready to lose ?" Ask Yuki back.

"We'll see who's the loser"

Lady Hazel hands out a pair of fans to Yuki and Princess Norah.

Yuki looked around, He looked for the figure of the Dalto Nobles among the audience present. Yuki deliberately avoided the bench where Prince Riana was sitting. He did not want to mentally collapse because he saw the anger of Prince Riana.

He'll face it later.

Yuki was disappointed when he did not see the Dalto Nobles. He was still heartbroken to get cold treatment from his best friend. Yuki desperately wants the Dalto Nobles to know that, even though she is now Prince Riana's woman, She is still the same Yuki. Nothing has changed. Yuki is still his friend. And Yuki always cared about her.

"The assessment will be calculated from your total value both from your appearance, flexibility and the way you animate the dance. But if one of you drops the fan, you will automatically lose" Madame Hazel explained to the two.

Lady Hazel looked at Yuki and Princess Norah in turn.

"Are you ready ?"

They nod their heads. 

Lady Hazel walked to the side giving the two room to move. Cheers sounded loud. The enthusiasm of the audience was felt all the way to the outside of the room.

They only stopped when Lady Hazel gave me the cue the match would start. Everyone is waiting.

Just when the music was playing, the entrance opened. Yuki reflexively turned and in the end he found what he was looking for.

The noble Dalto.entering the room, he immediately hid in the darkest place. Yet Yuki could still feel her gaze heading towards him.

Tension wafted. Yuki was relieved. The hope of mending their relationship is still there, at least the Dalto Nobles still care about him.

Meanwhile, the audience cheered Yuki who was just silently staring in the middle of the stage. 

The lump of wood hit Yuki's elbow. Makes Yuki aware of her daydream. He reflexively stroked his elbow.

Princess Norah has danced with ease. 

The dance that Princess Norah chose to compete was very difficult. Not all princesses can pull it off. Proper control between foot movements, body rhythm conformance, body bending and fan rotation is indispensable. It took a long time to learn it.

Princess Norah smiled broadly showing her victory.

Yuki sighed...He lifted his fan, then...

Developing her fan, dancing compensates for Princess Norah's movements.

The crowd cheers sounded. Princess Norah was surprised. She did not expect Yuki to master this dance well at all. His movements are purposeful and powerful. He danced without a doubt.

Yuki has mastered this dance since she was ten years old.

His mother was a bad dancer. Princess Ransah realized that. But Aunt Sheira is a talented dancer. Therefore, He had specially assigned Aunt Sheira to train Yuki since childhood. Yuki is also required to participate in a dance studio with strict discipline.

Yuki now realizes her mother's purpose, for the sake of today. If anyone taunts Yuki because his mother is a bad dancer. Yuki was able to prove that the descendants of Princess Ransah could dance well.

Princess Norah who lost focus because Yuki finally dropped her fan. He automatically loses. The cry of "Huuuu" rang out from the bleachers making the heat of his ears.

Plus, Yuki deliberately picked up Princess Norah's fan that had fallen nearby while dancing. He was dancing with three fans in his hand. The spectators were amazed. A loud applause sounded.

Yuki swayed her body skillfully. Rotating the fan in both hands. Like a male peacock who spread charm to a female peacock.

Nobles Voldermont to gawk when he saw Yuki. When both of them accidentally looked into the eye, Yuki deliberately blinked her eyes flirtatiously at him, making the Nobles of Voldermont chuckle.

Voldermont's people did not expect the fierce little cat to be so charming on stage.

Music ends.

Yuki's body was already full of sweat. Applause blurted when Yuki ended the dance well. Elber ran out and immediately hugged Yuki happily. Laughter broken. "You're great, I didn't think you could dance that good"

"I told you, believe me" Yuki said as she winked. Elber replied to Yuki's wink. He seemed satisfied with the end result.

But Yuki's smile disappeared quickly as He realized, Duke Dalto is no longer in place. He's already disappeared. 

Yuki sighed. Resignedly. He had to fight to restore his friend's trust.

Yuki took the cloth in Elber's hand and used it to wrap around her body. Then He turned around and walked over to Princess Norah who was glaring full of anger in her place. She felt extremely humiliated, the hatred for Yuki grew even greater. 

"You remember your promise ?" Yuki asked gently. But it made Princess Norah feel that Yuki was mocking her.

So He did not reply and deliberately nudged Yuki with his shoulder as He walked down the stage. 

There is His Majesty King Bardhana and Prince Riana. He wouldn't have won if he fought Yuki now. But surely He will reply to what Yuki did today many times over.

"He's lost still haughty" maki Elber near Yuki. Yuki did not want to reply to Elber's words. Madam Hazel approached Yuki. Yuki bowed his head in salute.

"What a great show Princess, with all the talent you have, I wonder why you've never shown it before ?" Madam Hazel asked without hiding her curiosity.

"I don't like dancing" Yuki replied briefly. He didn't want to be a good student. There was a big problem waiting for him after this, so He was unwilling to spend unnecessary energy on the others.
