Chapter 24: The Victory Ball (Part II)
I saw that Cynoan was wearing a pure white suit, his long golden hair flashed in the light, he was wearing white gloves, holding his generous fiancΓ©e, Belea, with one hand and waving to everyone with the other.

She wears beautiful pearl earrings and pearl necklaces, and the whole person looks extremely noble and pure.
When I met Belea, I realized how far I was from her.
Only this person standing by Cynoan's side does he seem to be such a good match.
"Now! Let them present us with a dance as the opening of today's Victory Ball! The host shouted excitedly, stretched out an arm, and waved it in the air.
The beautiful music slowly sounded, and the lights in the hall dimmed, and a beam of pure white light shone directly on the bodies of Xenoan and Belea, who clasped their hands and danced to the music on the dance floor.
Every movement is so beautiful and moving, you can't find the slightest flaw.
Damn it.
Why should I come to this prom? A bitter taste welled up in my mouth.
I smiled bitterly, but I couldn't cry, I was so uncompromising, I liked such a person.
Even if I am hurt a thousand times, ten thousand times, as long as this person smiles at me and hooks his hand.
I'm still going to fight for myself, like a moth to a flame, and I'll be hurt again for the thousandth and first time, the thousandth and first time.
There is no way...... I'm such a ...... People who have no income.
The atmosphere of the banquet hall was pushed to a climax by a dance by Cynoan and Belea.
Cynoan's smile was sweet, a rare happy smile, and Belea's smile was so proud.
After the dance, they stayed in the last movement, staring at each other.
At that moment, I even felt that there was no better match for a couple in the world.
The music stopped, but no one spoke.
After a long time, the host found an opportunity to pick up the microphone.
"Ahem, then." The host cleared his throat: "Next, we have a game session, I wonder if anyone is willing to participate?" β
The crowd immediately boiled.
"Me!"
"Me!"
"I'm going to participate too!"
"Don't worry, this game needs to be played by Mr. and Madam together, and the loser needs to perform a show." The moderator added.
As soon as he finished saying this, the hand that had just been raised immediately became much less.
I don't know if I was pushed hard by someone in the back.
"Ah......h
"Ahh No! That one! I ......" I looked behind me incredulously and quickly explained.
"Oh! It seems that the Night Elf guests from far away home are going to participate in this game, come on stage......" The host held out his hand to me.
I looked at the host in embarrassment, and then at Cynoan, who was sitting on the side.
Cynoan was wiping the sweat from his forehead with a white handkerchief, raising his eyes contemptuously, casually looking at the situation on this side of the stage.
I reluctantly stretched out my hand and was led to the center of the stage by the host.
"Then I'll participate too." A voice said.
Everyone looked back and saw that it was Saiwen.
I looked at Severn in disbelief, and everyone automatically gave way to a road, and he followed that path to the stage.
Severn smiled and said, "You can't lose to the Night Elves......"
There was a laugh of mockery, soft, but harsh.
I lowered my head and looked quietly at Cynoan.
At this moment, he was holding a red wine glass with a high foot in one hand, and he was happily talking to Belea.
He seemed to sense my gaze and glanced at me quickly, but he didn't show any expression.
I didn't dare to look any more and withdrew my gaze.
Later, at the instigation of the crowd, a few more spectators came up.
In fact, this mini-game is very simple, just a game that makes corresponding actions in order. But because my attention was not on the game at all, I was the first to go out of this kind of reflex test.
The host happily grabbed me and asked me to perform a show.
But what to perform, I thought about it for a long time, as if I couldn't do anything but write inscriptions.
So I had to say to the host: "I don't have anything to perform." β
The crowd booed again.
The host motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then Saiwen, who was beside him, lowered his voice and said to me: "You are our guest, and you are also a night elf, since you are here to be a guest, at least you should be polite." β
I thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll sing a song." β
That's the only song I know, and it's an old ballad of the Night Elves.
"The direction in which the sea breeze blows is unreachable;
The bright moonlight illuminates our direction;
Elune, Elune, Goddess Elune;
May you always protect us as ......"
Before I could finish the first stanza, Severn came over and grabbed my arm and said coldly, "Shut up." β
I tugged at the corner of my skirt aggrievedly, and I couldn't help but look at Cynoan again.
Cynoan's face also had a smile on his face.
No one in the audience spoke, and everyone's expressions were strange.
Severn took me by the arm and dragged me off the stage, and the host coughed and told a joke that wasn't too funny, relieving the atmosphere that seemed to have congealed.
I was dragged by Severn to the door of the hall.
Severn stumbled down the stairs, and Severn pushed me out so hard that I took several steps ahead before I could stand still.
"Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?" Severn yelled at me angrily, "Did you know that it's taboo to say anything about the Night Elves here!" β
"Then I'm also taboo, so why do you want to keep me." I said aggrieved and unconvinced.
"It's my brother's decision!" His voice was louder than before, "I really don't know what my brother means by keeping you a useless little girl from the Night Elves!" β
It's too much!
I couldn't help crying, and the grievances that had accumulated in my heart for many days turned into tears, flowing down my cheeks.
"Cry, cry, cry, you useless! My brother will never like you for the rest of his life! Severn yelled at me.
I looked at him incredulously, not expecting him to say such a thing.
For a moment, it was not just shame, but more of the pain of being hit by someone else.
I have never suffered such humiliation.
I turned and ran, ignoring Severn's obstruction behind me, and ran straight into the dark distance.
As the surroundings grew darker, only the trees in the forest and the unseen path beneath their feet were left, and there was no sound at all.
Fear welled up in my mind, and I slowed down.
