Chapter 279: Exchanging Information
“Thank you...” I thanked her again while realizing that I didn’t seem to have anything else to say to her.
The duchess nodded at me with a look of clear satisfaction on her face. While changing, I couldn’t help but wonder why she wanted to teach me. Apart from that, was it even normal for a duchess to act as a dance instructor?
“Let us start with some basic stretches. Don’t worry too much and relax. It’s not difficult and all you have to do is follow me,” she instructed as she sat down on the smooth wooden floor.
I blinked rapidly in surprise before quickly sitting down next to her on the floor. The wooden floor felt slightly cold, but my attention was on my reflection in the large mirror.
“Good. Keep your eyes on the mirror. Look at what I’m doing and look at your body. Concentrate on your movements and your pose,” she instructed while sounding very professional.
I didn’t want to believe it at first, but it seemed like Duchess Flavia was indeed a dance instructor. Her movements as she led me through a few arms and then leg stretches were always graceful. It was clear that she had been through this routine countless times before. How her body moved from one stretch to the next flowed flawlessly and everything seemed to come so naturally to her. As for me, I found everything confusing and difficult. It was hard to coordinate the movement of my arms, legs, and my body.
“You’re doing well...” she commented.
“Really?” I whispered before smiling uncomfortably.
“For your first time, this isn’t at all bad,” she replied before winking at me.
