Suddenly a Nanny!?
Eps. 26 About Zack (2)

"That's... Actually ti-"

"You're the one who wants to dance with me?" cut Zack.

"Ah yes, it seems so, forgive me prince, I did not mean..."

"It's okay Via, it looks like Duke also wants to dance with you" Hans said and left Zack and Via there.

Zack immediately swung his hand and Via grabbed him.

"Sorry Duke if my legs will-Akhh!" Not finished Via spoke, his body was immediately lifted by Zack.

"you're so light, should I have the chefs give you more food?" said Zack. As a result, Via was made embarrassed and misbehaved the second time.

They both danced very well.

"Duke, what was it? why do you say I'm the one who took you?" ask Via.

"Lea said you want to dance with me, am I wrong?" said Zack.

"uh?"

...****************...

how could Leah say that? But.. dance with him is not bad either, now people do not dare to talk behind the back when with Zack. Inner Via.

"What are you thinking?" ask Zack.

"uhuh? haha, there is no Duke! I just think you're more expert than me" Via said. Zack slightly turned his gaze.

"Ah that's not really.." said Zack timidly.

hahah...

Soon the music will be finished and the music will continue. Usually the couples can alternate with other couples or even can keep dancing until the next.

At that time Zack who was too focused on his music and movements, accidentally stepped on Via. Visible with the face of Via in pain.

"Ah..I'm sorry!" Zack. Once the music is done. He took her out of the dance arena.

Via limping and enduring pain.

"It's okay Duke, soon the pain will be gone!" said Via. Zack takes Via out to be able to treat Via with his magic.

"I'm sorry, it's because of the carelessness I've made!" said Zack who kept blaming himself.

Slowly Via began to feel the pain gradually disappear.

"Ah... It doesn't hurt anymore!" said Via then moved his legs.

"Huft..thank God..." Zack sat down next to Via. He felt deja Vu for having done this while healing Via while entering into the magic wave. But unfortunately Via did not know that Zack was the one who reduced his pain at that time. (There's a scene of them hand-holding eps. 13)

"Thank you duke!" said Via.

"Yes the same" replied Zack. The two of them were silent and lost in their minds.

I don't know why Zack's nature is so different from what I read in the novel, which is supposed to be Stella's here, but Stella's already married to Louis... Does this have anything to do with the original novel? Since Olivia died in the novel, it's possible that Zack now wants to make amends... Hmm. but it's all still a possibility anyway... Inner Via.

The music in the palace was still heard in their ears. Via moved from his seat. This time, it was Via who extended his hand to dance.

"What's this?" Zack asked seeing Via's hand in front of him.

"Let's dance again! Try not to step on my feet!" Take Via and smile at Zack. Honestly, he did not feel good to see Zack's face glum because of that. Maybe doing it again is a good option, Via thought.

"All right!" Zack immediately welcomed Via's hand and they danced under the moon and the stars.

"Duke can there be me asking?" Said Via.

"Hmm?"

"Okay, I don't remember. But... It might be my first one" Zack said.

"Eum... That's yeah... This is also my first dance!" Said Via. Zack was silent for a moment.

He forgot who he was dancing with... Inner Zack.

"Then prince Hans?"

"Yes, I mean the first time I danced with Prince Hans.... He is also far better than me.." Said Via smiling.

Again Zack showed his sour face.

"What's the duke?" Via asked after seeing his Duke's strange face.

"It's okay, I think I'm more expert than him" Zack said. Via chuckled at the face of his master.

The music slowly stopped. They also finished dancing. At first Zack took Via inside, but he preferred to take a walk in this vast royal park.

While walking, a cool breeze began to be felt all over the body Via. He began to embrace his body. Zack who saw him immediately took off the coat and gave it to Via.

"Ah... Thank you Duke! But what are you-"

"I'm not cold" Zack cut. Via laughed for a moment. Zack was confused as to why Via suddenly laughed.

"What's wrong? is something wrong?" ask Zack.

"Huhah... do you think I asked if you weren't cold? I want to ask you something else... Hahaha" said Via. Zack's face is like a tomato. That adds to the laughter of Via.

"Ka... Then what do you want to ask?"

"Hosh... haha.. I'm sorry Duke, I want to ask why you didn't use your warm-up magic like before?" Ask Via.

"Ah that... It's okay, it's... Just lazy..." Zack.

Suddenly Via recalled the wedding of Stella and Louis. They ride horses to get to Louis's new home. They could use magic to make it faster. But Zack prefers not to use magic when in urban or rural areas.

"Then what about when we ride horses? I thought you were going to use magic back then?" Via's question now leaves Zack speechless.

"Ah. If you don't want to tell a story, it's okay-"

"You must have heard from Alex, I got that huge Manna when I was 3. Although Lea and Leo are quick to get it too, but the Manna is not as big as I was..."

Wait for... How did Zack know that Alex had told me that? inner Via.

"I once made a mess of one city back then for not being able to control the magic I had. They became afraid of magic and I locked myself in my room and never came out until I could control my magic." said Zack.

"But... Didn't the previous Duke also use their magic in helping people? How can they-"

"That's different now, because of me they've also lost a family. Where there's a Duke killing people. So I better not use magic when outside"

"Then if there are enemies, how will you save them? Don't they also need magic power from the Duke?" Said Via who was a little angry.

"Why did you suddenly get angry like this? For the moment there is no. Even if there were knights who intervened, or kings and crown princes, because they felt safe if there were them"

"Huf... Aren't they cruel! But I am sure that someday your strength will be received by them. I'm sure it is!" Said Via. Zack smiled hearing that.

"All right! Thank you" said Zack. They enjoyed that beautiful night again. No loss they get out of the crowd.

"Via!!" Someone called him Dak Via looking for the source of the voice.
