She was certainly glad that she was acting so amicably towards her. And she was relieved to see that she didn't seem to take any offense to her uncouth question. Instead, she answered her embarrassing question with such calmness and grace that Alexandria was the one who got embarrassed. [i]That's right... it is really just like a battle... And I'm still terribly untrained in the matter...[/i] "Thank you for your words of wisdom, Lady Nibelung," she addressed her in a respectful, formal manner. "I would make sure to keep them to heart so I wouldn't embarrass myself and my house like this ever again. And thank you as well, for, ah, 'covering my flank' as well," she added with a light blush. As her parents had taught her to act, she performed a curtsy of gratitude and respect to her. She lifted the hem of her skirt slightly as she gave a slight bow. Unfortunately, thanks to just how short her skirt was, she ended up flashing her black panties a little once more. The Burgundian Heiress could see it clearly, as well as anyone standing behind her. And just like before, she didn't notice it in the slightest. Alexandria then looked at the heiress' current position. She realized what she was doing. She was eliminating the need of guarding her flank by leaning to the railing like that. No one was going to peep from the direction of the ocean after all. [i]That's really smart! How could I have not think of that?[/i] She then did the same, pressing her butt to the railing. This way, she just had to watch for her front. She then turned her attention towards the girl that the heiress pointed at as her "rear guard". Now she looked more like her own age for sure. Judging from her facial features, she probably had some Asian blood in her. She had to thank her of course. And that's why she decided to approach her. With a warm smile, she offered her hand, saying to her, "Hello. My name is Alexandria Vesperantus. A Legacy student of Lionheart. Pleased to meet you." She then lowered her voice to a whisper and said with a light blush, "Thanks for covering for me as well, though I also have to apologize for displaying such an uncouth sight to you." She then returned her attention back to the Burgundian Heiress after conversing with the girl, and her eyes immediately wandered off to her exposed thighs. She was just confirming if this method of guarding really worked. [i]...Wait a sec...[/i] The sight of her smooth upper thighs made her realize something. That Déborah Nibelung, the Scion from Burgundy, was really not wearing any pants or skirt at this very moment. Her face immediately reddened at the revelation. [i]H-how could she do that? T-that's... that's completely unladylike![/i] She gulped. Should she ask? But it would basically make her question her choices for attire, and that might offend her. In the end, she braved herself. She walked back to the railing, and from her side, she whispered, "A-apologies beforehand for this question but I just have to ask, a-are you really... not wearing any pants or skirt right now?"
