Their world doesn't need gods.

Chapter 287: A Dance Party with No Rest

Alfred smiled awkwardly and looked at Erica.

"Why, are you feeling unhappy because I sent your lovely and beautiful new love away~"

Erica winked at Alfred playfully.

"It's rare to see you attend noble banquets, Al, but your social dancing skills are quite good. Don't you think so, Sister Siliya?"

Erica said to Siliya beside her with a tone that was contrary to her own meaning.

The simple-minded Siliya didn't notice anything strange about Erica at all.

"Yeah, yes, that Lord Alfred is quite handsome..."

Siliya lowered her head with a blushing face, like a girl in love.

As a princess, her shy behavior in public would surely be regarded as a failing grade by the nobles.

Because her mother was from the Kingdom of Altria, and the relationship between the Empire and the Kingdom was extremely delicate, Siliya rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with the affairs of the palace. She was just kept in the palace as a princess.

Among all the princes and princesses, she must be the simplest one.

But Alfred didn't dislike Silya's behavior, which was in line with her age.

Just hope she doesn't show such shyness in front of me.

What bothered Alfred even more was that Erica was actually winking at him.

'Hurry up and invite Sister Siliya to dance, the next song is about to start.'

Erica blinked and urged with her eyes.

Alfred couldn't understand what she was trying to do.

He clearly said last night that he wanted me to appreciate the beauty of petite women, but today he suddenly urged me to invite the slim Siliya to dance.

'What are you going to do?'

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up~"

"Your Highness, Siriya, would you please do me the honor of dancing with me?"

Alfred extended his hand, bowed respectfully and invited Siliya.

"Eh?! Is it really possible?"

Instead, Siliya looked like a panicked little animal, seeming a little at a loss.

She looked at Erica, and finally shyly held Alfred's hand.

"Please take care of me."

As the melody sounded, Alfred led Siliya into the dance floor of the party.

Of course, Siliya had also learned social dancing, but even if she was complimented, it would be hard to say that she danced well.

Moreover, Siliya was very nervous and was led by Alfred throughout the dance.

Moreover, when Siliya saw Alfred's face, her heart started beating fast and her steps became disorderly.

She kept her head down almost throughout the dance.

"Sister Silia, are you okay?"

Erica asked with concern and glared at Alfred.

"I didn't do anything."

Alfred raised his hand to show that he was extremely innocent.

"No, nothing. I just don't do much in the palace, so I'm a little tired... Erika, I'm going to rest for a while. And thank you..."

Siliya glanced at Alfred, her face turned red to her ears, and she ran away in panic.

Vivian, who was standing by from a distance, noticed the situation here and immediately followed Siliya.

With her around, Erica doesn't have to worry about anything.

"Okay, I don't need to say anything more about what's going on, right?"

Erica winked at Alfred and gestured with her hand.

"Oh, I know."

"Why, are you unhappy about dancing with me?"

"No~ I wonder if Her Highness Erica would be so kind as to dance with me?"

"I'd love to, Al."

Erica held Alfred's hand and smiled sweetly.

Unlike the situation when he invited Liliana and Siliya to dance, the scene when Alfred invited Erica to dance immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding students and even the tutors.

Liliana and Alfred had been lovers for a long time, so the students were no longer surprised to see them dancing, and at most they were just a little envious and jealous in their hearts.

Although Siliya is a princess, her presence in the aristocratic society is not strong.

The rumor about Erica's cooperation with the Duke of Elect's family had already spread to the school.

Any noble student with a normal mind would definitely guess that Erica intended to build a good relationship between Siliya and Alfred and to have them marry in the future to strengthen their alliance.

It is very likely that both of them will get married and have children in the future, so there is nothing to be surprised about just dancing.

But when Erica took action personally, the situation was completely different from that of Siliya.

Many male students who were born as barons and viscounts and were hoping to turn a sparrow into a phoenix cast resentful eyes at Alfred.

Alfred said that he was also helpless.

Anyway, with Erica's discerning eyes, she probably wouldn't be attracted by those guys who approach her with impure intentions.

Fortunately, this semester he had already severely punished a sophomore student, Lucius, and Brady, who was nicknamed the energy-drug mad dog by the students.

Alfred was already considered the school bully, and no student dared to provoke him in person.

At least he wouldn't be thrown white gloves just for dancing with Erica.

With the third song, Alfred pulled Erica onto the dance floor.

"What were you planning to do just now?"

As the soothing melody played, Alfred leaned closer to Erica and asked in a low voice.

"Of course, I want you to build a good relationship with Sister Siliya. She has fallen in love with you at first sight. I don't know what she was thinking to fall in love with you."

Erica sighed and looked at Alfred with resentful eyes.

"You can't blame me for this. I didn't know she would like me."

"Even though you've died so many times, you're still as attractive as ever. Al, you haven't experienced abdominal death, or been stabbed by a woman, have you?"

Erica moved her face closer to Alfred, until their noses were almost touching.

She seemed to have heard from Emilia that Alfred had experienced many, many reincarnations.

Because of this relationship, he has affairs with many, many beautiful girls.

Although Erica was smiling, Alfred could clearly feel that her smile was full of oppression.

Erica is super upset now.

"I've never experienced such a tragic death. As for being stabbed by a woman... well, I haven't experienced that either."

"Tsk, you're really lucky. Let me stab you next time."

Erica smacked her lips and said something quite dangerous.

"Please spare me. If I were stabbed by you, I would definitely die."

"Don't worry, if you die accidentally, I will take responsibility and die with you. How about it, do you feel very happy to have a gentle and considerate woman like me by your side?"

Erica teased Alfred with a gloomy smile.

To be honest, Alfred didn't even think that this girl was just joking with him.

"When you said you wanted to stab me, it had nothing to do with gentleness, right?"

Alfred complained.

"How dare you say that."

Erica puffed up her cheeks slightly and deliberately took the wrong dance step to step on Alfredo's foot.

Alfred was more skilled and took a big step towards Erica, occupying Erica's original position and reducing her body's movement space.

Taking advantage of the moment when Erica lost her balance, Alfred grabbed her waist and pulled her back.

"You guys, do you really want to do something to me?"

"You were the one who tried to step on my foot first, I just fought back a little bit."

"If you are a bit more generous, please let me step on you to vent my anger, you idiot. Also, I am a person who never admits defeat, you know."

Erica showed a competitive smile, trying to get back at Alfred.

She pressed her body towards Alfred again, trying to seize control of the dance as if to force a kiss.

Of course Alfred wasn't going to give in like that.

Even at this time, he had to make Erica realize the superior-subordinate relationship between them.

Otherwise, who knows what weird things Erica will do in the future. She used to teach Emilia how to use a gag and a whip, and how to tie herself up in a tortoise shell bondage.

The dancing part of the party had just begun, and the rhythm of this dance song, which was at the front, was quite slow.

However, the two people who were fighting for dominance danced fiercely...

As a result, the other students dancing on the dance floor subconsciously avoided the two of them.

"You guys really don't admit defeat."

Erica complained with beads of sweat on her forehead and her breathing slightly quickened.

"Now you understand the relationship between us."

"There's nothing wrong with letting me be on top sometimes, right? You really are a sadist. Well, even though you're so domineering, I still like it."

Erica's cheeks flushed and she moved her face closer to Alfred again.

Unlike the previous forced kiss, this time she really kissed Alfred on the cheek.

Erica must have planned this on purpose. As she kissed Alfred, the dance came to an end.

The eyes of the whole banquet were all on Erica and Alfred...

Alfred even saw Liliana puffing up her cheeks and complaining to him with her eyes about what was going on. And behind her, Violet was snapping her fingers expressionlessly.

In order to avoid Liliana's attention, she even stood behind Liliana...

Maybe this sister who is the ultimate sister-con also has hidden yandere attributes.

"Hehe~ You must be very troubled now, right?"

Erica probably noticed the gazes of Liliana and the others, and said to Alfred.

She acted as if it was none of her business and was happy to watch the fun.

"It's very troublesome, but is it okay for you to do this?"

"What's the problem?"

Erica played dumb on purpose.

After all, Erica was the princess who was second in line to the throne, so kissing a male noble in public would certainly cause a huge sensation.

Although she had deliberately created scandals in the palace before, making it seem as if she had some ambiguous relationship with Alfred.

But that kind of thing was completely different from kissing Alfred in public.

"In the near future, I will prepare for your engagement with Sister Siliya, and then send her to the Duke of Elect's house. You must accept this engagement and take good care of her for me."

Erica demanded quietly before Alfred could speak.

Erica thought that the Duke Elect's mansion was safer than the palace.

"What about you?"

"You don't have to worry about me. Of course, I will also make good preparations for marrying you. I haven't decided on the specific time to announce the engagement, but you will definitely not refuse, right?"

"I have no reason to refuse."

"You should say 'I won't refuse' at this time, idiot~"

Erica turned her back to everyone's sight and playfully stuck out her tongue at Alfred.

Then she pulled Alfred away from the dance floor.

After leaving the dance floor, Erica exchanged a few words with Liliana, as well as Edward, Elaje and others around Liliana.

After that, she and Violet left to find Siliya.

Erica felt relaxed after dancing, but Alfred was...

Elajeer, fourth-year Louise, and second-year Sophia, all of whom were close to Alfred, looked at him eagerly, hoping to dance...

Alfred thought that there would be no time to rest after tonight's party.
