"Tanya Vermillion…" Rosellia mouthed out the words and mumbled them out like she was reading her last rites.

"Now, Darling, how about we dance?"

In all accounts, Rosellia had lost to such a terrifying degree that she just stopped speaking altogether. Not only had Tanya guess correctly, her name made up the vast majority of the Flowers List and the entirety of the Dragons List. It was just too overbearing for her.

She had been so c.o.c.ky just a moment before and now she was reduced to the loser. Rosellia knew the weight of a n.o.blewoman's words, wis.h.i.+ng she had never spoken those d.a.m.ned conditions. She had been far too confident and now had to pay a price.

"You said you would marry the person on the top of the Dragons List if I guessed correctly. So why are you not proposing?" Tanya exhibited a smug grin, looking at her victim in satisfaction.

"Lady Vermillion… I clearly meant if the name was of a man-"

Tanya quickly stepped towards Rosellia and wrapped her left arm around the latter's back.

"Perhaps do you find something unappealing? Anything less than a man? I a.s.sure you I have more than a man." Tanya pointed to her abundant chest and licked her lips.

"However, I feel like I want to be the pa.s.sive one today. So please do what a man would do in this situation." Tanya stepped backwards and continued warmly smiling, waiting for Rosellia to move.

'I never imagined for this to happen! This was just supposed to be a minor bet with an arrogant student… and now it's like this?! I expected for a man to propose to me on his knees like a knight in s.h.i.+ning armour, but now I have to do what my dream knight would do. This is far too vulgar.' Rosellia gritted her teeth and felt her heart pumping like a violent tempest.

In the middle of the ball room, all of the students could clearly see the scene. The teacher had lost a bet to a student and now had to submit.

"Tanya...Vermillion. Will...You...Marry...Me?" She forced herself to say those words while standing up, attempting to avoid the act of kneeling down.

"But~ Rose… we've only just met~" An aura of pure innocence shrouded Tanya like a blanket, skewing the event with a gentle hue.

"!!!" Rosellia blushed at the sight.

'Get on your knees and propose.' These words echoed in Rosellia's mind, shaking it to the core. Her pride was just too strong to force her into such an act of lowering herself.

'I am a Countess at age 19. I am the most talented of my generation, surpa.s.sing my peers and being able to inherit a n.o.ble t.i.tle yet do my duties to such a degree. Why must I kneel down to my student?'

Tanya had dealt with this type before. While not exactly the same, Tanya had a few tricks. Rosellia could be considered prideful due to her hardworking personality and sense of accomplishment. While admirable, she was arrogant to a fault. Tane had met many of this category and conquered them. However, a new approach can always be adopted.

In a new life where Tanya could experience a joyous childhood filled with friends.h.i.+ps and true innocent love, why couldn't she try something more enjoyable?

"Rosellia, I would love too."

For this one occasion, Tanya would let it slide. Gracefully and beautifully, she would show the women from both worlds how to properly accept a proposal.

With an enchanting gesture of a cute smile and a slow step backwards.

'Come get me~'

Tanya felt Rosellia come closer to close the distance that Tanya had just put in place.

This is social magnetism.

Rosellia unconsciously grabbed onto Tanya's waist and did not let go.

"Oh? A teacher touching student? How will I ever get married? Take responsibility." Tanya teased.

"..."

Rosellia had lost. There was no coming back. She had proposed, been accepted, and touched Tanya very much physically.

This could only be interpreted as one thing. Rosellia had fallen for Tanya's trap.

"Love at first sight! Ms Florian had fallen for Tanya too! Engagement at first meeting! Sooo romantic~!"

"Filth." Yuri crossed her arms ever so slightly, glaring at her new opponent.

'Daring to try to take Tanya away from us by ejecting her, and now making her your wife?' Yuri had some obvious misgivings with the teacher.

"Big Sister Tanya knows how to play the game… we must take notes." A boy said as he took a notepad out of his breast pocket.

"You can sort out the wedding things… just know that this will be a hot topic." Tanya waved goodbye as she walked away from the fl.u.s.tered Rosellia and moved back to Yuri and Diana.

"You work fast, Tanya." Diana plainly spoke.

"I can work very fast in you~" Tanya moved her hand onto Diana's thigh and stroked it with her fingertips.

"Unghh~" Diana again felt weak.

"Tanya, I feel very sad… you didn't dance with me today… do you hate me…?" Yuri quivered her lips and whimpered.

"!!!"

Tanya suddenly felt her heart pound like thunder.

BADUMP

"Yuri… of course I haven't forgotten about you… however, the event has ended. We cannot dance today, how about next time?" Tanya tried to reason.

*Sniff* *Sniff*

Yuri wiped some tears from her eyes using her sleeves, looking expectantly into Tanya's eyes.

"Yuri… surely there is something else I can give you? Perhaps you would like a kiss on the cheek? A night for cuddling? Or perhaps you want me to help you study? There is really nothing I can do about dancing right now…"

"I want a kiss on the mouth, like my mom and dad do with each other." Yuri said straight away.

"..."

"They sometimes do it in bed without clothes, but I think we would get cold doing that. So just one of those kisses please?" Yuri folded her hands and did an innocent begging gesture.

"Pwease~?"
