Chapter Eleven: Fate

When the lovely "Spring of Prague" began to play, Komer naturally became the chosen dance partner of Princess Vero, the birthday girl. As people watched with eyes of envy and admiration, a mere peasant surged to stardom at the banquet. Knight Sate's eyes, bloodshot, seemed ready to tear someone apart.

The fox-trot is the most popular social dance among the Human Clan's upper class on the Blue Continent. As a noble, everything else may be excused, but not knowing at least the basic noble etiquette and social skills is an absolute necessity; otherwise, you would be utterly helpless. Mastering social dances, however, is one of the most fundamental social skills. Although Komer, one of the Three Wolves of Cyprus, learned nothing during his reckless youthful years, he mastered these marks of noble identity to perfection, essential for wooing proper young girls in any circumstance.
