Selena became skittish right away. This fellow here was a soldier; how could he possibly know how to play the piano even though he was not always a mindless brute?
Music and dance would be extremely sacred to people who understood them as it was something that could connect souls. How could one not take it seriously?
She would not mind if her husband was to play poorly, but even if she was to dance majestically, she could never be in sync with a 'chaotic tune'.
Fane's level should not be too poor at the very least. Only then could she forcefully dance with his tune.
"F-Forget it. Everyone will be singing and drinking later anyway..." Selena laughed mirthlessly, her statement sounding more depressed than what she let on. Even in her eyes, there were shreds of disappointment and sadness inside.
She had not danced in a very long time, and she had almost forgotten that 'Selena' who used to dance so elegantly on the stage like a swan.
She would feel different every time she got on stage to dance back then; it was as though the entire stage was hers and only hers.
The cheers from the audience would make her feel incredibly fulfilled.
Of course, these were things of the past and she could no longer have the same feeling she felt from back then; the feeling of understanding the deeper meaning of a dance through her heart and soul.
"I think you should just forget about it. Your hands are made for swords and spears, so please don't embarrass yourself with elegant things like holding a pen or performing a dance!"
Britney laughed, a cynical undertone detected in her chuckle.
"Matt, your piano skills are pretty impressive back then. It'd be a perfect performance if you play the piano and Selena dances. That'd be a perfect balance o f music and dance!"
Rachel then added fuel to the flame, saying, "You're no longer together, but you’ve dated back then, no? Why don’t you just give it a shot, Matt? I believe both of you will be a perfect match!”
Needless to say, she said all that to provoke Fane.
"Let's begin, Honey!"
Fane simply ignored her as he gently touched the black and white keys; it was as though he was caressing a baby's skin.
