An Extra’s POV

Chapter 588

Lucielle was a great dancer.

Rey could feel it with every rhythm of her body as he held her and she held him.

They easily took the center stage and everyone immediately made way for them. All of a sudden, within the snap of a finger, they became the center of attention.

The tempo of the music suddenly began to rise as the two began to move faster, and everyone seemed to slow down.

In fact, they stopped dancing altogether.

"Everyone is looking at us, Rey." Lucielle said with a smile, her red eyes glowing as she stared straight into his eyes.

"I know."

As he said this, he raised her into the air, firmly holding her waist as he turned. Afterward, he pulled her back to the ground and drew her closer to his chest.

This was something he had seen in movies and he just wanted to try it out. Thankfully, he was athletic enough, and his body was perfectly in sync with his mind.

He pulled the move off splendidly, and the gasps of claps from people seemed to indicate that he did a good job.

"I didn't think you were this energetic, Rey." Lucielle also gasped as she held onto his shoulders and they continued dancing.

"Have you always been this way?"

Rey shook his head and served for the side, making sure Lucielle's body nearly fell before he grabbed her from behind and paused for a moment.

They both looked into each other's eyes and he smiled.

"Not always."

He picked her back up and they continued the dance. At this point, everyone's full focus was on the two of them.

Even the groups who were talking—whether about business or leisure—instantly ceased their actions and worked the captivating dance of the two.

… The dance of the strongest.

"So, Rey… about that talk I asked you about…"

"Hm?"

Swerving and turning, they continued their movements with perfect fluidity.

They were both in sync with each other.

"I apologize if it came off as rude or overbearing, but I'm serious, you know?"

"Why do you want to have the talk so badly?"

"To learn, obviously! You have knowledge and power I don't know of. I want to study it and see if I can apply it to my existing knowledge."

"Why? To grow stronger?"

"W-well…"

"Do you want to get stronger so you can defeat the Dragons? Protect your people? Or is there something else?"

"…"

For a moment, silence echoed between the two of them. Then, right as Lucielle twisted her body, with Rey holding her hand upward, then drawing her closer into his arms, he whispered into her ears.
