As for the royal ball, Nyx wasn’t as worried about the royal family’s schemes as Zayne was. Her problem was much simpler- she couldn’t dance.”

Back on Earth, she’d never even touched social dancing, and the dances here looked even more complicated than anything she’d seen before.

Coming from the Desolate Planet, Zayne had very little knowledge of formal dancing himself. His experience was limited to what he’d learned in school, which he had no interest in at the time, just like he didn’t care for cooking classes.

He barely passed those subjects, and even if he wanted to teach Nyx, he wouldn’t have the skills for it.

Theon was actually pretty good at dancing, enough to teach Nyx. But, as luck would have it, he was about to leave Central Planet to return to the 286th White Tiger Regiment.

He swore, though, that this wasn’t another lie to Nyx.

As the highest–ranking officer of the 286th Regiment, he couldn’t afford to be away from the base for too long. Since accompanying Nyx to Central Planet, he had already used up two weeks of his leave, hitting the max limit.

Zayne’s leave was a little longer, and since he was going to be reassigned back to Central Planet, he could stay with Nyx for a while longer.

But Nyx didn’t think she needed someone to babysit her–she wasn’t a kid anymore. She was perfectly capable of living on her own. Still, both Theon and Zayne insisted that one of them should stay with her at all times. It was their duty as her guardians.

Theon dressed in his military uniform and straightened his clothes. With a look full of regret, he promised Nyx, “I’ll be back often.”

The base was in a remote location. To get there from Central Planet, it required three space jumps, and even if he took the fastest military shuttle, it would still take two full days just to make a round trip.

Frequent visits meant Theon would be making that long, tiring journey quite a bit. Just thinking about it made Nyx feel exhausted for him. She suggested, “Why don’t I come with you guys to the base?”
