102 These events are not for me

Even though she knew that Lucien would answer no, she still tried it. When he really answered no, she didn't give up on her little dream to dance with him, and she continued pestering him until Lucien reluctantly agreed to dance, even though he wasn't good at it.

"Only one dance."

Said Lucien with a tired voice after approximately fifteen minutes of constant attacks from Itori's side. Then she returned to normal form, with a very satisfied and happy expression on her face, as she has achieved what she wanted. After that Lucien stood up and like a proper gentleman he asked Itori for the dance. To this Tsukiyama Mirumo clapped with his hands, all people stooped dancing and made a space for Lucien and Itori.

Even though Lucien came from the aristocratic household he wasn't accustomed to banquets or similar events, because he always spent time cultivating and training and never cared about this. HGe knew some basics dances, and he knew how to don't fall. Itori was much better in this than him.

When the came to the dancing parquet, they bowed to each other, as this was beginning of the formal dance and started dancing, traditionally Walz. Lucien didn't know any other dance beside this one. They danced around ten full minutes until it was already time to end the dance and the dance ended with a kiss.

After that came to huge applause and Lucien with Itori returned to their place, where Tsukiyama Mirumo was already waiting for them. He was smiling faintly as he was observing the entire event and Lucien's and Itori's dance.

"I would like to compliment your dancing, but you are really not the best dancer, Lord Aeon."

Said Tsukiyama Mirumo when he saw Lucien sitting down. Lucien only smiled a little, as he knew that the words of the Tsukiyama Mirumo were true, he was a bad dancer, maybe slightly bad at most.

"I know, but as long as my fianceé is happy then so be it."

Answered Lucien as he looked at Itori, who had a very happy expression on her face after the dance with Lucien. Apparently, for her, it was a very happy thing to dance with him. Compared to her, he didn't think about dancing like a happy event as he knew that he looked probably terrible and he didn't like doing anything which made him look bad or idiotic.

"Then I must congratulate to your engagement, Lord Aeon. I wish you happiness only."

Lucien nodded his head hearing this and returned to his previous thing, talking with Itori about various mischievous things. They spent another two hours at the banquet of the Tsukiyama Family before finally going back to Lucien's estate. After some time Lucien got bored with it and wanted to return to his estate and go to sleep or train.

For him, most priorities were training and cultivating and he devoted most of his free time or to be more exact, he devoted most of his time to training and cultivating.

"Mr. Tsukiyama, I thank you for your invitation and I am very happy for our collaboration on the reconstruction and fortification of the 24th Ward. This evening was very fruitful for me and I hope our cooperation would last long and would be exceptional."

Said, Lucien, as he stood up and looked at the Tsukiyama Murimo, it was already time to go. Itori also stood up and Zelilios with Darkwalker and rest of the bodyguards reacted immediately and came to them. In truth, their only priority was the safety of the Itori and not Lucien. He was strong enough and could take care of himself, in such Low-Grade World as this one. Compared to him, Itori was significantly weaker and in times of emergency, she would need some protection. For example, some figure on the level of the Grand Elder of the Washuu Clan, Washuu Tsunekashi.

"It was an honor on my side. Then I would be awaiting you, to discuss our cooperation closer."

Said Tsukiyama Murimo to Lucien as he gestured to the Matsumae to lead Lucien and his company out. Lucien faintly nodded his head at Tsukiyama Murimu, before following Matsumae out of the estate.

They got into the cars and the convoy left the estate of the Tsukiyama Family and returned to Lucien's estate. Fortunately, both estates were in the 21st Ward, which was the ward, where many rich people owned some mansion or estate. Actually, Lucien's estate was only twenty minutes or so from the estate of the Tsukiyama Family.

After they got back, the first thing Lucien did was go to the shower and then he waited for Itori in the living room, as they would be watching TV together. Tomorrow would be Christmas Eve and Lucien was planning something special. Even though he knew that nothing like a true god or something like that didn't exist, only Akashic Records could be close to that existence, Christmas gave off a very nice and warm feeling. He was planning to give Itori some nice present and spent the entire day with her.

He already ordered to Darkwalker to bring here, one giant and the most perfect Christmas tree he could find. He was already tasked with decorating the entire mansion with Chrismas decoration. On the other hand, Lucien would be doing dinner.

Demon meat. It was a very special ingredient and it eating it could raise RC Level. On the Blood Island only thing that people ate there was the meat of demons and nothing else.

Lucien was a rather good cook, the main reason behind it was that he had access to the records of the Akashic Records, and records regarding cooking weren't high-level ones, so he just read through them in his free time and tried cooking afterward. He noticed that his cooking was getting better and better so he wanted to cook for somebody, and he chose to cook for Itori at the Christmas Eve.

After twenty minutes of waiting for her, Itori finally came down from the shower, clothed in pajamas and sat down beside him and started watching some movie.
