Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 305 Rejected

Chapter 305: Rejected

" The ones that came in a couple are fine, but what about the rest? Who will they dance with? I won't dance since I'm not too fond of it, but there are many guys here. You're safe since you will dance with Keia, but what about others?" Shu asked Ryder, wondering how Ryder would respond to his childish question.

"Is this your first time in parties like this as well?" Ryder asked Shu in return.

Shu had been rich since the beginning. The only information Ryder had about Rich People Ball dancing was what he saw in the movies. He had seen one in the Demon Realm in Divinity, but there were more girls there as well. Also, that was more like a meeting and less of a ball dancing.

This event, on the other hand, was purely ball dancing here, so this did feel confusing.

" I went to a few of those but very rarely. Nothing was as unorthodox as this one, though," Shu replied, shaking his head in confusion.

"Who knows what they will do. Maybe only the ones that came as come can dance. They didn't say it was a ball dance for everyone. The others can just talk and watch," Ryder replied as he raised his hand innocently.

"True. Oh right, Do you want my help in setting up a dance between you and Keia Silva? I can act as your wingman?" Shu asked Ryder as he smiled.

Ryder shook his head. "Don't worry. I think I have that base covered already."

Shu was surprised that Ryder was so confident, but he didn't find it suspicious.

The hosts of the event also arrived after some time. It was just as Ryder had expected; they didn't bring any more people with them.

As the ball dance began, most of the couple started dancing. Even the two sons of the Silva Clan started dancing to the slow music.

There was only a single girl in the entire hall that wasn't dancing yet, and she was Keia, but it wasn't like she didn't have any offer.

Many young guys that came with their families walked up to her to ask her to dance.

"Aren't you going to ask her to dance with you?" Shu asked Ryder after some time.

" What's the hurry? Let the others get rejected first," Ryder replied, shaking his head.

"What if she says yes to one of them? You shouldn't lose any opportunity," Shu told Ryder with a concerned look on his face.

"Don't worry. I'm not losing any opportunity here," Ryder replied as he smiled. "She won't say yes."

"If you say so," Shu muttered as he took a sip from the wine gla.s.s in his hand and watched Keia.

He could see guys walking up to her and coming back dejected. It seemed to be going just as Ryder had said. Keia was saying no to everyone.

Shu still wasn't entirely free of concern for Ryder. Seeing Keia reject everyone didn't mean she was going to say yes to Ryder. He was curious if Ryder would actually succeed.

" Hmph, you guys are all trash. Watch me do it. You need looks as well as charm to get a yes from a lady," Rahil suddenly said to the other guys as he proudly walked up to Keia.

As soon as Rahil reached near Keia, he dropped down to his knees as he reached out his right hand to ask for Keia's hand for a dance.

"That idiot watched a lot of movies," Ryder muttered as he smiled wryly.

Everyone watched Keia say something to Rahil as she shook her head. After that, they watched Rahil stand up and walk back.

Most of the guys were laughing by now. They were amazed at how proudly he went and how fast he came back.

"She probably doesn't like dancing," Rahil gave an excuse to others as he stood near the wall with his back resting against it.

"Everyone has been rejected except you and me now. Are you going now, or you want me to go and get rejected first?" Shu asked Ryder with a wry smile on his face.

Ryder shook his head as he said, "I'm going."

He held the wine gla.s.s in his left hand as he walked up to Keia.

"Cute Little Thief, are you going to dance with me?" Ryder asked Keia as he smiled.

Every guy standing in the back expected Ryder to fail and come back, but they watched Keia hold Ryder's hand. Both of them walked to the center of the room together, shocking everyone.

Ryder placed his right hand on Keia's back while Keia placed her left hand on Ryder's shoulders. They held their free hands as they got into the position and started dancing.

"You're looking good in this dress," Ryder complimented Keia as they danced together.

" Thank you. I wish I could say the same about you," Keia said jokingly.

"Oh, right, I expect my wallet back. Don't think I didn't notice when you were taking it from me after I won our bet," Ryder suddenly said as he remembered something.

When he had won the very with her, and they were coming back, he noticed Keia stealing his wallet but he didn't stop her. He had just received a victory, and he wanted to give her a little win. He had already taken his cards and other things out of his wallet and placed them in his inventory already.

"Hah, liar. You probably found out later. There's no way you wouldn't say anything if you had known about this at that time," Keia said as she rolled her eyes.

"Oh, really? Did you check my wallet?" Ryder replied with an amused smile on his face.

"I didn't say anything because I already emptied it. Still, you should give it back now that you played around with it," Ryder said as he smiled.

"Ouch, hey, what was that for!" Ryder let out as he felt pain in his shoulder. Keia has pinched him in annoyance.

"You deserved it for being so annoying. Just when I thought I got one over you, it turned out you were one step ahead," Keia said as she rolled her eyes.

" I am not anymore. You got one over me just now," Ryder let out as he smiled wryly. Keia had pinched him so hard that he still felt pain.

" As I said, you deserved it," Keia said as she grinned.

Ryder roamed his gaze all around the room as he smiled.

"You deserve it too for trying to steal twice from me then," Ryder let out as he loved his hand and pinched her b.u.t.t lightly before raising his hand up to her waist again.
