"Is this your first time dancing?" Merlin asked gently as he reached out his right hand.
Liora took it and stepped forward. With a shy smile, she nodded. "Yes, it's my first time. You don't mind, do you?"
As a member of the druid race, she had spent almost her entire life in the forest.
It was only natural that she lacked experience with dancing, especially since it was usually something practiced by nobles in human kingdoms.
However, she had read a book about dancing yesterday, so she at least had some basic knowledge.
"Of course not," Merlin said. "Don't worry, I'll lead. Just follow my steps, and I'll guide you. Understand?"
Liora's worries instantly eased. She smiled softly and whispered, "Thank you."
"[Ding! Heroine Liora Aryn's affection has increased by 3 points! Current affection: 63 points.]"
"[Ding! Congratulations on earning 10,000 system points!]"
The music began to play, and the third dance session started. Merlin carefully guided Liora, though it wasn't easy.
