Chapter 470 - 469. Allies (4)
After the talk with Grandfather, we went back inside the ballroom, I still had a task to complete so, I guess I would have to stay till the end of this ball. Regardless, I had met some familiar faces and it was a good evening.
I found Davian already waiting for me, it was weird to have to dance with him while being in my Ocean’s form.
Denril, despite being a religious nation was pretty open-minded which was why there wasn’t a compulsion for heterosexual couples to be the only ones to exist. The culture pretty much integrated all the types of people and I found it pretty thoughtful. The major contribution to this thoughtfulness was because of the teachings of Saintess Miella and the Dragons. The teachings said to accept any and all kinds of people with open arms.
Needless to say, this idea was also taken up by the other aspects like the idea of homosexual marriages and even the dances in the balls.
Davian reached his hand out to me and I placed my hand in his, though our hands were of similar sized but his seemed rather bigger, filled with the scars and slightly rough and calloused, but warm regardless. I placed my other hand over his broad shoulders feeling his body heat seep into mine as we stood closer.
It wasn’t decided but he automatically stepped into the role to lead and I danced along. Davian seemed pretty well versed with the steps as he handled me like he would any lady, gently and carefully.
"Where’s Sol?" I asked and Davian smiled.
"I handed him over to Young Duke."
I cocked my brow at him, "Why him?"
"I wanted to start a talk with him, he seems to dislike me so, I thought I could use Sol as a way to talk." He shrugged and I narrowed my eyes.
"Don’t use a child for your ulterior motives." I chided and he sighed.
