56. I didn't see the king's heart

"Speaking of which, is this a sexual gift?"

Ilan sat sideways in front of the dressing table in the president's office, so that the other party could apply primer for him, his eyes closed, and his expression was full of enjoyment.

"What?"

"There's always a very professional feeling, obviously I've never seen my senior sister wear makeup."

"Hmph."

Karene ignored him, her brows furrowed slightly, and her expression was stern.

It's not that this kid sticks to herself like a leech again, but the instinct of being a woman makes her involuntarily take the sacred ritual of "makeup" seriously.

The foundation is not for whitening and concealing———— this guy himself is already too white, and the first time I observed it at such a close distance, I found that this abnormal white color is already a little almost sick. The foundation is used on him, but it is to bring out some blood.

Coupled with this guy's sensitive skin and respiratory system, any cosmetics adulterated with chemicals can only be excluded, which makes Karen's job even more difficult. But fortunately, the president's bottomless collection of cosmetics gave her plenty of room to choose.

Karene sat on the high stool in front of Elan, warmed the foundation in the palm of her hand, and then rubbed her cheeks in the direction of the skin lines, and gently opened the foundation on Elan's face with her fingertips.

"Uh-huh~~~~~~ uh-huh~~~~~"

"Don't make strange noises!"

"But it's really comfortable, I've never known makeup was such a fun thing, and I really still have to look at the object, right? If it weren't for Senpai, I'd be sure..."

"Shut up!" Karene had a premonition of the next big shame line.

"Okay."

The first stage was completed, and Karen snorted with satisfaction and motioned to Bai Mao to see the effect for herself.

"Oh, that's amazing! I can't see the change at all, but I feel that it has changed a lot! Ilan turned her face left and right in the mirror.

"What kind of praise is this······

Karen twisted the head back and added a little more powder, and finally set the makeup. Then, just when she thought it was impossible, a gray eyebrow pencil was actually turned out of the depths of the drawer.

Is the president a prophet? Was it prepared a long time ago? No, before that, why was there such a thing as a "gray" eyebrow pencil in this world? What is the meaning of this kind of thing? Where did the president loot it from?

"Shouldn't it be white?" Ilan asked puzzled.

"No, you can't."

"Why? It's always white, huh? ”

"White will look like there are no eyebrows, gray is just right."

"Huh? Will it be like nothing? Peacetime?! Wouldn't it be weird?! ”

Bai Mao was shocked and grabbed Kalian's hand, as if he had been told by a doctor that he was a patient with a terminal tumor.

"It looks faint anyway."

The battle-hardened Karen pulled out her hand unhurriedly, she was already surprised by Bai Mao's seemingly innocent but salty and wet behavior of eating tofu. If it weren't for going too far, she wouldn't have bothered to beat him.

I don't think I need to change the shape of my eyebrows, right?

This guy is originally neutral, and if the tail of his eyebrows is too soft, then there will be no trace of heroism, huh······

There were no changes, just the eyebrows that were originally slightly light were drawn. At the moment of completion, Karene was suddenly stunned.

I seem to have done something terrible······

Usually Yilan always gives people a feeling of childishness, he himself is always part of the shape, but even when he is expressionless and looking at the sky in a daze, it still makes people feel "childish".

It's not that he looks younger than his actual age, but in contrast to his older brother, it gives people a feeling of extra immaturity.

Obviously a very powerful guy, but he doesn't feel "very powerful" at all. is obviously a scheming guy, but he looks innocent, knowing that he is pretending to be stupid and eating tofu, but it still makes people think that this guy may really not understand······

"I see... eyebrows..." Karin muttered to herself.

Like a stabilizing agent, his original hazy frame has been precipitated, and now he is like a young man with his eyes closed and contemplative, which makes people feel a sense of security when they look at it.

If only I could do that on a regular basis.

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

Bai Mao opened his eyes and looked at Karen in confusion, and when he saw that the other party was distracted, he turned his head to look in the mirror again.

"Oh~~~Oh! What about the feeling of adults! It's amazing! Is this the highest level of makeup?! Do you feel like you have no tricks to win?! ”

“··· Hmmm... If you don't speak. ”

The flash of amazement was completely disillusioned the moment Bai Mao spoke.

"Close your eyes."

Karen sighed and took out her eyeliner.

"Oh."

Now apply a clear layer of eyeshadow to the eye sockets to brighten up the eye area. Then fill in the dark eyeliner with the inner mucosa, gently lift the eyelids, and draw a black inner eyeliner along the base of the eyelashes from the tip of the eye to the end of the eye······

After Bai Mao shut up, the room was suddenly so quiet that he could hear even a needle landing clearly. Except for the ticking old hanging bell by the door, which was still reminding the passage of time, in the huge room, only the sound of the two of them breathing.

"Huh... Elan ······"

Perhaps it was the ambiguous atmosphere that Karin asked suddenly for some reason.

"Huh?"

"Why me?"

"What do you mean?"

Ilan asked with a smile that had not changed for thousands of years.

"Don't play dumb."

It doesn't matter if it's annoying, it's crazy, it's numb, it's okay if you don't feel it. No matter how he behaves, he will not abandon the old and stick to himself, and he will not be discouraged at all.

I never said anything angry, and I never made any excessive demands.

Although Karen has no experience in this area, as a woman, she can still instinctively feel that this is not the state that a suitor should be.

What to say... Instead, it's like he's passing the time by himself, satisfying his own sense of fun.

This guy has never really been close to himself.

But why, only for yourself······

"I think I like Miss Karen."

Yilan's face did not change color, and his heart did not beat.

Karene didn't speak.

Gently blend the inner lash line with a brush to create the width of the cat's eye line. The corners of the eyes bring up a slightly upward arc. It is this small arc, but it is like the finishing touch that instantly changes the temperament of the whole person, and the feminine charm suddenly leaks out from the corners of the eyes and eyebrows.

There was a long silence.

“······ Swindler. ”

The girl said lightly.

"Huh?"

Ylang's eyelids trembled slightly, and the eyeliner was brought out.

Instinctively want to back off.

"Don't move."

Karene held his face.

"Actually, you've always thought of me as a fool, haven't you?"

, dipped a cotton swab in some makeup remover, and gently wiped the blemish.

"I may indeed be an idiot to you, and maybe until the end, until the day I die in battle, I can't guess what a youkai with layers of heads thinks······ But ah, even a person like me, a mortal like me in your eyes, can feel it······"

Elan's muscles tensed. The hand that was originally trembling slightly steadied down, which was a sign before he attacked.

As long as this woman says something...

"You've never left that knife, have you?"

Finish your eyeliner. He took Elan's other hand and tried several eyeshadow colors on it.

"The one in your sleeve, start with your eyes closed."

“······”

After matching the right color, Karen held Elan's face again, lightly applied the pink undertone, and then blurred it with her thumb.

"You've never trusted anyone, and you've never trusted me."

In the second layer, gently press the purple eyeshadow with your fingers.

"Nai... What exactly do you want? From me? That's not what you mean, are you? It's not like the feeling, it's because I'm not from your world. ”

After the eye makeup was finished, Karen pressed her thumb to Ylang's forehead and lips and felt it slightly.

The lip shape is relatively thin, so··· Or use pearlescent lipstick.

Use a liner close to the color of the lips to gently trace a more rounded lip line.

"I'm grateful to you, really, very much to you. If it weren't for you, I would have died in Shinjuku. What you have done for us, for the sake of the organization, for the sake of the Japanese people, no amount of words of gratitude is enough... As we all know, in this organization, the one who really bleeds blood and sweats, lives and dies for everyone, is the second master. I may be a fool, but I'm not blind, so ah······"

Use the lip pencil to dip the lipstick in small amounts several times and apply it evenly to the lips. Finally, apply a pearlescent lipstick.

“··· Can you tell me what you want? As long as I can do it······"

Karen put down her pen and took Ylan's hand.

pressed on his chest.

Yilan slowly opened his eyes, obviously it was just light makeup, but the charm was like a rose blooming.

But there was no sparkle in his eyes.

Just looked at each other quietly.

"If that's what you want... I can give you ······ Other than that, I don't have anything you can look at, right? ”

With a self-deprecating tone, Karen gradually increased her strength, and Ylan's fingers were already caught in the ultimate dream of men all over the world.

"You can rest assured, at least when you're with me, you don't need this knife······"

Ilan laughed silently.

Naïve enough to catch herself off guard.

It's really... A woman who doesn't know amorous feelings.

"I'm sorry."

Ilan slowly withdrew his hand.

"You're half right, but Karen, I trust this iron artifact more than you, no, humans."

Ilan turned his head to look at himself in the mirror and twisted his neck. He stood up and walked to the door.

"The atmosphere is all messed up."

Smacking his lips in dissatisfaction, he closed the door with his backhand, leaving the girl alone in the room.

————————————————————————————————————————————————

"Don't laugh."

Dressed in a white backless evening gown, Lulu managed to make his way out of the suitors and made his way to the corner of the ballroom, where he sat next to Ilan.

Bai Mao didn't speak, and sat on the chair next to him in a daze. Reaching out and taking a glass of soda from the plate of the passing waiter, he handed it to Lelouch, who was still panting.

"Ah, thank you. Black? This set was also chosen by the president? ”

Looking at Ilan's pure black sisters' evening dress, Lelouch asked.

"Hmm."

"It's a bad taste, tsk, but it's still quite feminine."

Lelouch looked at his younger brother who was dressed up like a celestial man, and couldn't help but joke.

"Hmm."

"That guy... I've never seen him so happy. Looking at the Suzaku in the center of the dance floor, Lelouch laughed.

I don't know with whose young lady, no, it should be Childe, dancing with the music of his own Indian Bharata dance, although the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth, under the blessing of his anti-heaven movement cells, it is also good-looking. The girl on the opposite side has been attracted all the attention by Suzaku's bronzed abs, smiling with a on her face, swallowing her saliva.

"I didn't expect it to be so open, this elm head."

"Hmm."

A strange feeling gradually welled up in Lelouch's heart.

Why... Today... I have more lines than this kid?!

"Ilan, you..."

"Brother Huang, are you serious about C.C?"

"Huh?"

"Or are you just going to have fun?" Bai Mao absentmindedly stirred the black tea in his hand with a teaspoon.

"What are you talking about?"

was caught off guard by the question, and Lelouxiu's embarrassed appearance fell into the afterglow of Yilan.

"Ahhh It seems to be real. ”

"What did you take the wrong medicine today······

Ilan shrugged, his gaze falling on the corner at the other end of the ballroom.

“··· Seen through, me. ”

"Women?" Lelouch followed his gaze and found the figure in the red aristocratic costume.

"You should be killed, right?" Ilan said to himself. "Consumables shouldn't be too close to the core, right?"

"If you feel the need."

Lelouch sighed and put down his goblet.

"But······ It's really amazing, what kind of 'woman's intuition'. I've felt it since I was a child.,It's obviously a stupid person.,But I just know what you're thinking inexplicably.,It's like a superpower.。 ”

"Hmph, there's no denying that."

“··· Then, whatever you want to do, no matter how ridiculous your ideas are, will satisfy you unconditionally, idiot like. ”

"I can't agree with that." Lelouch smiled wryly, remembering his mother and C.C., neither of whom was an easy character to deal with. "You're luckier than mine."

"Really?" Ilan raised an eyebrow, this was the first time I'd heard of it.

"Hmm."

“······ Shh

The white hair took an unprecedented sip, and his brows tightened.

"Try it? Who knows, maybe something good will happen. ”

Lelouch raised his hand and motioned for the waiter to add tea to them, looking leisurely. It's rare to see this kid's tangled appearance, how can you not enjoy it.

“··· Who knows······"

Trust.

Idealism.

Indeterminate event.

Instability dìng factor.

Treachery.

Individuals who have the ability to think independently.

Egoism.

Nature imprinted in the genes.

Betray.

Human ······

No one...

No one but himself······

"Ah~ah~ah~!"

Bai Mao suddenly scratched the back of his head hard.

"What's that inexplicable 'you can do whatever you tell me to do' expression?!"

"Don't you know human nature best?"

Lelouch couldn't help but laugh.

"I just don't understand!" Bai Mao slumped on his back in his chair and tapped his head helplessly with his knuckles.

"It's something you can't learn from books, boy."

Lelouch took a leisurely sip of tea.

"Human nature can be calculated as you like. But the 'human heart' is a different matter. ”

Ylan lay silent in her chair and covered her eyes with her arms.

“··· What······ The woman ······"

After a long time, Bai Mao muttered in a low voice.

Obviously wearing a sleeveless evening dress, a dagger appeared in his palm like a trick, and slid down his fingers into the black teacup with a clear sound.

He stood up sharply and strode across the dance floor without any ladylike temperament. The dancing crowds on both sides were either taken in by its momentum or marveled at its beauty, and scattered to both sides.

"Ah, yes."

Ylang suddenly stopped.

"Whiskey."

"What?" Lelouch was puzzled.

"I mixed it in his juice."

As he spoke, he pointed with his thumb in the direction of the dancing Indian dancer.

I couldn't help but push aside the crowd and walked to the lonely figure in the corner. Lift the corners of your skirt and bend your knees.
