Chapter 16: The Mood I've Never Felt Before

Imperial Capital Collobein -

Colorful ribbons stretch forward from the buildings on both sides of the street, and the wide square is full of people, people selling snacks, people with excited faces, floating colorful balloons swaying slightly, located in the center of the square, is a huge hemispherical opera house, and in front of the opera house, the huge crystal screen gently ripples. ~with~dream~small~say~щww~mеng~lā

Waist-length black hair, clear blue eyes seem to be watching every passerby, charming and gentle face, small nose tip is slightly open lips, as if singing the sound of nature, slender figure is hidden under the dark blue dress, just a frozen image, its every move is full of ubiquitous elegance, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of beauty the owner of the image has.

She is the Empire's number one singer, Avril Talis.

Soon, a huge vocal music fluttered from the hemispherical opera house, and then the beautiful and graceful singing gradually became high.

Looking through the closed doors of the opera house, up the red carpet staircase, through the red curtains, the light dimmed, and the staircase was crowded, and there were no empty seats, or it should be thought that to be able to hear Avril's singing was the honor of a lifetime that every Imperial person should not miss, and naturally there was no such thing as being absent.

The falling beam of light immediately enveloped the unforgettable figure, slightly raising the tip of her neck, and the moist lips emitted a beautiful voice as deep as the soul, as if it were an illusion, and the jumping crystal light dots surrounded her, as if even the light poured under her singing.

In front of such an almost perfect picture, listening to the moving songs that linger in the ears, every listener seems to have forgotten the passage of time and the occasion they are in at the moment, leaving only the graceful figure in the center of the stage singing loudly.

……

After a long time, the applause rang out like thunder, and many people couldn't help but get up from their seats, and the unforgettable Qianying immediately bent down to salute her, as graceful as ever, and the slowly falling curtain covered her figure.

……

Backstage at the Opera House -

"Thank you, Lord Alex, for your kind invitation, it's just that I've just been a little sleepy after a singing, so I'd better save it for next time."

"Oh, if that's the case, I won't force it, Avril should pay more attention to her body and don't tire herself."

"Thank you, sir."

Sitting quietly on the dresser, she first showed a slightly troubled expression, refused the invitation of the man in front of her, and then put up a gentle smile, the meaning of sending off the guest could not be more obvious, but the person in front of her still did not give up, and after two sentences, she finally gave up.

Avril watched him disappear into the aisle, the man's broad shoulders looked a little lonely, and there might be disappointment, she speculated in her heart, her smile never diminished, after all, she was used to such an almost warm "harassment", more or less, consciously or unconsciously, she also learned to refuse this right, lifted the hair around her ears, and the silver earrings swayed gently.

Eyes turned to fall in front of the mirror like a perfect lovely child, fingers leisurely curled hair, the person in the mirror followed the same movements, a little cold, she is only one in the background, this is also a matter of course, because she has sent people back, makeup does not need to be faked to others, as for guards and the like, they are not so weak that they need to be protected all the time, and they are naturally excluded, as for this, Maybe she was worried that someone was approaching her with some unknown intention, and she smiled self-deprecatingly.

Although sometimes she also wonders if she needs someone around her who has nothing to say, however...... After all, it's unrealistic, put away such a weak mood, and I'm past the age where I need shoulders to rely on.

After a while, the sound of the audience leaving the theater gradually subsided, and the rest was just dead silence, she blinked, and then turned behind her.

"Coming back?"

In response to her, it was a cold and emotionless voice: "Hmm. The girl's figure then appeared in the shadows, and what appeared in front of her was the girl who assassinated Isabella who was let go by Shen Yi, and with a thick tone of frustration, she spoke: "The mission has failed." ”

"Huh? It's rare to see you with such an expression, is it an unexpected situation? ”

"Yes, I...... I was caught, and then the other party deliberately let me go. ”

After hearing this, she felt a little curious, under what circumstances would she use the word caught? Judging from her current skills, this is quite a rare thing, and then she looked at the girl's annoyed face with interest: "This is really an accident, obviously even if you faced Tolia last time, you didn't miss, he is even more powerful than Tolia?" ”

"Maybe, I can't tell."

I don't know what came to mind, but Avril laughed softly: "Is it above the four generals?" Then, as if she had lost interest in this matter, her eyes fell on the girl, looking at the figure waiting for the fall as if she had done something wrong without saying a word, time passed slowly, and Avril could clearly feel the crampedness of the girl.

Looking at her face as if she had been stripped of emotion, she was obviously a cute girl, but she didn't have the liveliness that she should have at her age, she thought, sighed softly, and comforted with the words: "Alice, if the other party's strength is really above Toleya, your failure is understandable, there is no need to blame yourself too much, you know?" ”

"Yes!"

She answered her in a tone without the slightest emotion, she understood a little, and the almost paranoid girl in front of her was afraid that she would not listen, so thinking this, Avril stood up and walked in front of her, and in her puzzled gaze, she leaned over, looked at the girl's stiff face, and reached out mischievously to pinch her cheek, and then lengthened.

"Also, girls don't have a straight face all day long, they will become old women......"

This time, Avril read a look of bewilderment in her eyes, which is what a girl should look like, she thought, and chuckled softly.

The warm morning light slanted through the bamboo curtains, there was the sound of children playing in her ears, through the curtains, you could see the busy cooking smoke rising not far away, she leaned on the side of the corner, sat with her legs curled up, covered with a quilt around her waist, tilted her head, stared at the peaceful scene outside the house, and her mood unconsciously precipitated.

The sun shone on her body, not so hot and dazzling, lazy, warm, people couldn't help but rise a lazy mood that did not want to move, a strand of purple hair slipped from her ear, she stretched out her hand to pick up behind her ear, raised the head of the mantis, her cheeks were a little ruddy, and the dark blue pupils reflected the floating clouds in the sky.

If it's such a scene, even if it takes a lifetime, I won't get tired of it, Isabella thought quietly.

It's been nearly a week since that unexpected wake-up, and a lot of things can happen in a week, or nothing can happen, but for herself, the things of this week are something that she can't forget, she thought, and then her fingers lightly touched her red lips, and her cheeks immediately became slightly hot because she recalled the warm touch, and she buried her face in the quilt.

How should I meet people in the future, that is my first kiss......

She shyly murmured in her heart, the high fever for several days was relieved by the herbs that Vivian brought back, after some conditioning, her body began to recover gradually, the original uncomfortable soreness seemed to be yesterday, every time she thought of this, for Vivian, the lively and lovely fox-eared girl, it was difficult to put gratitude into words, although there was also a feeling like guilt in it, although it was not her intention, but she did do something sorry for Vivian.

However, it is undeniable that in such a relationship, there is also a throbbing that makes her can't help but be confused, as if luring her to fall deeper into the abyss.

"I'll be back, Yiyi!"

The excited figure broke in, interrupting her thoughts, Vivian didn't know where to pick back a large basket of mushrooms, and put it in front of her with high interest, and the happy figure immediately knocked her down, and then gently rubbed her cheek, more or less used to her way of greeting, so she didn't show much resistance, and she didn't hate Vivian's body language that directly expressed her emotions, the only thing that distressed her was probably that she hadn't understood the language of the orcs.

Thinking like this, Isabella's eyes immediately secretly looked behind the door, Shen Yi opened the curtain and walked in, the moment her eyes touched, she looked away in disguise, Shen Yi looked at her strangely, thinking that maybe she was still afraid of herself or something, so she didn't take it to heart, thought about it slightly, he turned his back to Isabella and asked, "What's wrong with the body?" ”

"Huh? Oh, it's already a lot better......" Hearing Shen Yi's concerned question, Isabella was stunned at first, and after reacting, the feeling of happiness swelled up from the bottom of her heart, compared to the previous coldness, this can be regarded as his initiative to talk to herself, she was secretly happy, and then lowered her head, not letting him see her face, otherwise, such a mood is afraid that it will be easy to be seen.

But why hide it? Why be afraid of being seen by others? Again...... Why do you expect to speak to him so much? Even she herself was a little confused.

Time passed quietly in such a not quiet atmosphere, Vivian, who was making chaos on the side, and Shen Yi, who was seriously preparing the meal, occasionally accosted her, clumsily trying to blend in, sometimes annoyed, sometimes excited, that was a mood that she had never experienced.
