Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 391 - 175: Lily (Blushing): I can’t just say it’s like spring has come, right? (10K)_4
"Senior Sister Lily is a very lonely girl; I could see it from the first moment I set eyes on her. You boys don’t have this awareness; sometimes, it’s more agonizing to meet and fail to grasp than to never have met at all."
The two executed a dance move and spun around, his gaze drifting towards Lily, who sat quietly in the corner.
At that moment, she looked like an injured little beast, curled up in a dim corner outside the dance floor, looking a tad lonely.
This instant made him feel a twinge of heartache.
"I know your character; if you can bring someone out without harming your own interests, you don’t mind lending a hand, even if it might be a bit of trouble."
Kael shook his head firmly and said, "No, now is the time for you and me to dance."
"You’re right," Elanna chuckled, "The first dance is almost over. Hold my hand, and see what years of following the knight’s path have done for my physical prowess."

Instantly understanding what he intended to do, Kael gently raised his hand at the end of the dance.
With the strong muscles in his fingers, Elanna spun in place in Kael’s palm the moment the music stopped.
Her flowing dark red dress, like petals unfurling, flared out, and the reflection from her high heels couldn’t compare to her graceful movements.
The spotlight on the stage couldn’t help but converge on the dancing pair, and the precise, rhythmic tapping of their toes occasionally called forth light applause from around them.
At the end of the dance, Elanna, who had stopped twirling, slowly bent her knee and performed a knight’s salute. Her billowing red dress had settled back down. She winked at Kael and said,
"Look, even without learning so-called noble etiquette, one can perform elegant dance steps with traditional combat skills, after all, they inherently include the aesthetics of power."
The girl’s confidence was astonishing. Kael was about to return the gesture when Elanna suddenly stopped him and said,
"Kael, do you remember what you once told me, that you would embrace the most genuine me, right? Just as you are willing to indulge my willfulness, I’m also willing to accommodate your untamed tenderness, of course, only for certain songs..."
Suddenly she reached out, and as the second song began, she glided into dance like a proud swan, pulling Kael into the outskirts.
Their movements were so commanding that dancers in their path instinctively made room. Lily, hiding in the shadows, watched the two approach, their flashy moves evoking a touch of envy in her heart.
She was yet unaware of the seriousness of the situation, only seeing the two spin into the dark, Elanna extending her hand as if to welcome her.
No, it wasn’t a welcome; it was an assertive demand that could not be refused.
Elanna grabbed Lily’s hand.
"Wait, wait a moment..."
"Senior Sister, enjoy your time dancing with my fiancé!"
Elanna’s voice carried a hint of gleeful laughter.

Lily looked at the red-haired knight as if she were looking at a demon, her body twirling, pulled in another direction.
"This woman is definitely doing it on purpose!" Lily cried out involuntarily.
Meanwhile, Elanna changed her position, returning to her seat with interest, watching the two of them.
Lily’s faltering steps were steadied by Kael, who chuckled and said, "What a mischief-maker... Anyway, we’re already here, so, Senior Sister Lily, I might have to apologize to you."
The next moment, under Kael’s guidance, Lily was panic-stricken yet he directed her movements.
She had never imagined she could dance so smoothly in her life, as she wasn’t one of those professionally trained noble children or one of the mages who neglected their studies to indulge in social events.
She was just a farm girl from Lancaster, and sometimes she wondered if all her achievements in magic were just the dream of that young girl from a Lancaster farm.
It’s not that she didn’t want to take part in such banquets, but she had nothing; to catch up with her classmates, she had to put in ten or even a hundred times more effort.
If she had no money, she’d make it; if she wasn’t good at inscribing runes, she’d work in related shops; to gain new knowledge, she’d communicate more with teachers; to get a new magic wand, she’d have to work for a year to afford one that was even slightly functional.
This had been Lily’s entire life these past years, devoid of thoughts for socializing, focused only on surviving and achieving something in her magic career.
But could you say she never dreamed of dancing joyfully with the boy she liked, all the movements etched in her mind as if by instinct, her dress reflecting her youthful spirit?
Sadly, this seemed like a dream to her, always requiring sacrifices to be realized.
But now, she felt as if she were dreaming.
Under Kael’s control and subtle cues, to her surprise, she was keeping up with his rhythm without much thought, effortlessly moving as if by his will...
