Belle Adams' Butler 238 Dance Lessons- Part 3

Belle continued with every step they took forward and then back. It came as a surprise that Lucas knew how to dance even though it had been barely twenty minutes since they had started to dance. She should have known that there was nothing Lucas didn't know or more like he knew a lot of things which made her question if he had picked it after working as a butler or if it was when he was still working as a Grim Reaper. 

Both Belle and Lucas were the envy of the others, who couldn't stop looking at the couple who danced in a much free manner compared to their partners who were either b.u.mping into someone next to them or stamping on the other person's shoe. 

Hana looked angry from where she stood, glaring at Belle on how she was smiling. Anytime she went to comment on the lowly vampire, the cla.s.s instructor Miss Edith would ask her to move her leg right that had only left her embarra.s.sed. She continued to glare and as Miss Edith had pointed, Hana ended up stamping on Daryl's shoe. 

"Lady Hana, I think you will need more cla.s.ses to be able to dance without stepping on my shoe," commented Daryl to have Hana's glare directed towards the man who was dancing with her, "I mean, everyone takes time to pick up their pace when it comes to dancing. I am sure you will dance-"

"I am doing fine, Daryl. It is you who should be watching your footsteps instead of bringing your feet close to mine and waiting for me to stamp on your leg," Hana laughed in a merry tone, keeping their conversation light while blaming the man for his incapability to not dodge her own feet, "You need more dance lessons than I do," Daryl awkwardly smiled back at Hana's joke, making him wonder what had gotten into her as she had been dancing fine a while ago but now it seemed like her footsteps were not only wrong but she was always in a weird mood. The man couldn't wait to leave the building and say goodbye to this vampiress. 

Muriel, Hana's friend commented, "Daryl, why are you stepping on Hana's feet? It must be hard to concentrate when you are with the most beautiful girl in this room."

At the same time, Muriel's partner said, "I doubt Daryl is looking at Hana but at the girl who came last to the cla.s.s," the man laughed, taking a look at the brownish-red haired girl who was dancing with her butler. 

This had the others turn to look at belle which Hana didn't like. 

"I can't believe she brought her butler to dance," came an opinion from one of the girls in the room. 

"This only shows how undesirable she is when it comes to her looks and her status. Did you know that there was a rumour of how she had rejected and made a scene in Edmond's house?" asked another one. 

Hana who heard this rolled her eyes, "What else do you expect from an orphan girl who has no family and mingles with the lowly servants," she disliked Belle since they were children and now that they had grown, the stem of hate was too strong, "Poverty is infectious."

Hana Wilson was not too far away from where Belle and Lucas were dancing which was why Belle could overhear what the others were talking about them, pa.s.sing rude comments.

"I didn't know people in here were petty," Lucas replied back without dropping his voice and not being subtle about it. The girls who were commenting closed their mouth in shock that a butler had retorted back at them but the words were not spoken directly to them but to Belle. 

"What did I say to you before?" asked Belle, a small smile on her lips. 

"I must say you grew up fine, even though there were rare moments where you were like a spoilt child. Now that I think about it, it was quite adorable how you tried to hide things from your parents to only be caught the next second," said Lucas to her. 

"I was cute, wasn't I?" asked Belle cheekily to have Lucas chuckle.

"Still are but I would weigh more on you being beautiful now," he responded to her and Belle smiled back in return.

"Why didn't you tell me you knew to dance? I would have never come here if I knew you were good at dancing," Belle stated. Lucas moved his hand around her waist so that he could turn her around before bringing her back to him. Belle was an outspoken girl but there were times when Lucas could turn her speechless and these days he was doing that a lot. 

"Precisely for the same reason, you would not step out of the mansion," Lucas saw how Belle was happy right now. Her red eyes were bright in the joy of having someone with her in this place. 

Lucas had observed Belle for the last eleven years to know how her brain worked. If he were to let her know that he knew how to dance, she would find more reason to be in the c.o.o.ned world of the mansion which he didn't want. The vampiress had to step out of her comfort zone so that she could learn how to handle people and stand her ground. 

And if something were to ever happen, he was always there right behind her to support her and make sure no harm would befall on her. 

The people in the room continued to sneak a glance and when the man who was with Hana decided to comment, "This is what happens when you are not brought up in the right company but lower vampires don't have that privilege. She could at least ask someone to set-"

Lucas stopped moving and his head turned to look at Daryl, "Don't speak another word unless you want to be beaten by me."
