Chapter 21: Invitation to the Prom
I was dragged back to the inn by Severn, and as soon as I entered the hotel, I couldn't wait to ask, "You said that Xenoan sent me something, what is it?" ”
Severn took the gold-rimmed, delicate mahogany box from the hand of the attendant behind him, took out something resembling a letter from it, shook it in front of my eyes, and said, "It's an invitation to the ball." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Prom? Invitations? "I'm a little confused, is this a side quest?
"Yes, because we won our last war against the Trolls, the city decided to hold a dance party." Saiwen glanced at the expression on my face and said, "Do you want to go?" ”
I've never been to any so-called balls, and I've never heard of Silvermoon City holding another ball, so I was a little dumbfounded for a moment.
But Saiwen was holding such a delicate ball invitation in his hand.
Sealed in red ink, the golden ribbon is tied with a beautiful bow at the back of the name "Nydia".
My first reaction was that Cynoan looked elegantly holding a quill and writing the name on the invitation.
Just thinking about it makes me so excited.
He snatched the invitation from Severn's hand.
Then carefully open it.
Sure enough, I saw a beautiful and elegant line of words, written in High Elf language.
"Miss Nitya:
We invite you to this Victory Ball.
Cynoan"
Cynoan's signature is very beautiful, with the letters written like musical notes, with a long tail arc.
It's not an invitation at all! It's a work of art!
I cheered in my heart.
If it weren't for Severn next to me, I'm afraid I would have jumped for joy on the spot.
Oh, my God! Xenoan actually invited me to the prom!
Severn stood aside, saw the snickering joy on my face that he had tried to hide, and snorted softly, with contempt.
I gently stroked the paper of the invitation with my hand, and the smooth feel was overwhelming.
Suddenly, the invitation in his hand was snatched away by Saiwen.
He held the invitation high above his head and deliberately asked, "My brother asked me to ask if you would go." ”
I quickly jumped up and stretched out my arms to snatch the invitation from him.
Although Severn is not as tall as Cynoan, it is more than enough for me.
"Go, go, I'll go!" I jumped to grab his hand and replied loudly.
Severn's face was very ugly, and he glared at me.
I felt a little inexplicable and didn't know what I was doing wrong.
He threw the invitation the ground and turned to leave.
I looked at the back of Severn leaving, picked up the invitation on the ground aggrievedly, and patted the dust on it.
Hey, why are Cynoan and Severn brothers, but their tempers are so different?
……
For the prom, I went to the clothing store in Silvermoon City to pick out a prom dress.
The tailor looked at me and said helplessly, "Miss...... Your stature ...... Belch...... Too ...... Plump, I'm afraid we don't have clothes for you. ”
I understood the meaning of the words and walked away dejectedly.
Just as I walked out of the tailor's shop in a bit of a loss, I ran into Severn again.
Saiwen was holding a package in his hand, and he was stunned when he saw me.
"I'm not telling you not to wander around, why do you always take my words as a deaf ear?" Severn's face became very serious.
"I ...... I ......, "I'm really a little scared of this Severn, because he doesn't give me a good look."
"Go back to the hotel, my brother asked me to bring you something." Severn sighed, trying to control his tone.
"Oh......" I bowed my head and followed Severn back to the inn.
Back in the room, Severn opened the package, and inside was a long silk dress of sky blue, embroidered with fine bright patterns on the neckline and cuffs, and inlaid with beautiful diamond-like gems on the chest and skirt, which looked very expensive.
"Oh my God, it's beautiful." I picked up the dress and stroked it twice, and I couldn't put it down.
What's more, this prom dress was given by Sinoan!
The thought of this softened my heart.
Saiwen looked at me disappreciatively, and said coldly: "The things have been delivered, and I will leave." ”
As I spoke, I was about to leave, but I grabbed him by the arm.
Severn frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
I shook the two braids on my shoulder, a little reluctant, but still said firmly: "I...... I want to get a haircut. ”
Saiwen looked at me indifferently and said, "I advise you not to waste your thoughts, my brother will not fall in love with you." ”
This sentence was like cold ice water, pouring cold on my newly warmed heart.
I opened my parched lips, unable to utter a word of objection.
Yes, that man, indeed, will not fall in love with me.
What he loves, what Cynoan loves, will always be "Belea".
I don't know if this expression got Saiwen's sympathy, he sighed softly: "Forget it, I know a good barber shop, I'll take you there." ”
"Thank you!" I said to him embarrassed and grateful.
The two walked out of the hotel one after the other, and came to the door of the barbershop that Severn had mentioned.
I poked my head cautiously and walked into the barbershop: "Is anyone there, please?" ”
A High Elf uncle immediately came out of the room inside and said, "Welcome." ”
As if he didn't care that I was an outsider, he pulled the chair in front of the mirror and motioned for her to sit in.
I looked in the mirror at the Night Elf's face and hairstyle, and it was too familiar for me to be more familiar.
The little girl in front of her Night Elf is a very ordinary dress, wearing a robe embroidered with green patterns on a white background, silver-white hair, melon seed face, two dark lines like a crescent moon, one left and one right, extending from between her eyebrows to her cheeks, her eyes are big, her lips are very thin, and she has a hollow carved neck ring that seems to be silver on her neck, and the pendant is a pure red gem, she is shorter than the average adult female Night Elf, and two braids that are combed into twists hang down on her shoulders.
This is also the appearance I chose when I first established this role.
But at this moment, the two facial lines that stretched from the eyebrows to the cheeks were so dazzling, and Belia's dignified and elegant appearance appeared in my mind.
I gritted my teeth and said to the barber, "Please help me cut my hair short, just a little below my shoulders, and please trim my bangs in front of me more naturally......"
Standing at the door, leaning against the wall and holding his arms, Saiwen, hearing this, opened his closed eyes slightly and looked at me, but it was only for a moment, and he closed his eyes again.
"Good Ratcha." Uncle heard my request and immediately started the scissors.
I also closed my eyes and gave my hair to this uncle completely.
After a while, the "click" of the haircut stopped, and I heard the uncle say, "Okay! ”
I opened my eyes slightly, and I was like a different person in the mirror, with shoulder-length silver hair hanging down naturally on my shoulders, and my bangs were also beautiful.
"Thank you!" Obviously, I'm very satisfied, it's a lot more beautiful than the original hairstyle.
"It's good to be satisfied! Five gold coins! The uncle also said with a smile.
I'm stupid, I don't have any money!
Then he looked pitifully at Saiwen at the door.
Saiwen had already heard this conversation between me and my uncle, and as soon as he walked through the door, Saiwen's face softened, and he took out five gold coins from his pocket and handed them to his uncle.
Bian taunted me as usual, and said, "I told you a long time ago not to toss, you have to listen to my ......"
I was playing with my hair suspiciously in the mirror, how did I think it was so much more pleasing to the eye?
"I'll give it back to you!" I bit my lip and looked down.
"What did you say?" Severn frowned and asked.
"I'll give it back to you! Money for haircuts! ”
Saiwen's face changed, and he said coldly: "It's good if you remember, I'm a person who hates to help others advance money the most!" ”
My eyes were red again when I was excited by this sentence, isn't it just five gold coins? Do you need to be so stingy.
Without saying a word, I followed Severn, thinking about how I could make money to pay back to this grumpy stalker.
But when he looked up, he found that this was not the way to the hotel.
"We ...... Where to go? I asked cautiously.
"Here we are." Severn stopped.
I looked up, and the wooden sign said "Grocery Store."
We walked into the door of the grocery store, and the High Elf aunt was slightly surprised to see me behind Severn, but she still greeted Severn warmly: "Hey, Severn, what do you want to buy today?" ”
Severn looked at me behind him and said, "She's going to the dance party in the city, let's see if there are any nice headwear recommendations." ”
I was really surprised when I heard this.
Didn't this guy just say that he hates to advance money for others?
The Stalker, who had never given me a good look, actually brought me to buy a prom headdress?
"I ...... I don't have any money, so I'm still ......," I said with some embarrassment.
"I'll pay." Severn interrupted me with a cold face.
My aunt looked at my face and pulled out a hair tie from the glass window.
It was a sterling silver headband with a beautiful pattern that looked like a rose vine.
One side of the hair tie is decorated with a small solid red rose made of metal, and the center of the flower is inlaid with a pure red gem that dots the bottom of the vine.
"This one is beautiful and suits you perfectly!" My aunt said as she put the headband on my head.
"Ahh That's great! It's so beautiful. "Auntie pushed me in front of the mirror.
Sure enough, the sterling silver shone on the silver hair, but it didn't look abrupt, and after the headband was put on, the rose was just a little above her left ear, and the amber under her silver hollow neck ring was very harmonious.
It was indeed very beautiful, I looked at myself in the mirror, smiled embarrassedly, and the unpleasantness just now was swept away.
Who doesn't want to put their best foot forward in front of their loved ones?
Me too.
"How much?" Severn pulled out his money bag.
"Fifteen gold coins!" Auntie's smile was even brighter.
Severn handed the money to his aunt and said to me with a blank face, "Let's go." ”
This time, he didn't grab her wrist again.
I don't understand, why did Saiwen buy me hair accessories, is he apologizing for what he just said?
But I immediately denied this idea in my heart, how could this grumpy guy apologize.
