When Rafa begged for a few more dresses from Felihill, Audrey and the two female knights arrived at the shed.

She was given the order to invite the four girls to the ball, and if they agreed, to give them the exquisite clothes.

"Ugh..."

Audair couldn't help but sigh when she saw that even the box containing the dress was so beautiful, once upon a time, her dream was never to become a knight, but to wantonly date the boy of her choice in beautiful and soft clothes, like most girls' dreams.

However, it backfired, when her parents were killed, she could only take over her parents' position and become the heir of a side branch of the Light Shield family, but she was weak alone, and the elders of the family casually found a ridiculous reason, so she was supposed to have an unlimited future and arranged her to become the guardian knight of the rumored and extremely wasteful third prince.

Despite her reluctance, she decided to fulfill her loyalty as a knight and became Rafa's guardian knight without hesitation.

In the beginning, this waste prince was almost exactly like what she imagined, a fool who could only eat, drink and have fun, and when she saw Rafa living a drunken and drunken life, her faith finally wavered, is this really someone she deserves to protect?

It's just that things suddenly took a turn one day.

She remembered vividly that it was the night of the night at the Hyperion family estate, and that the frail prince had climbed out of the steep castle to her window, and she wondered how he had done it.

It was from that time on, that Rafa seemed to be a different person, his behavior was no longer dissolute, his face changed from a gloomy owl to a sunny smile, and the decadent appearance of always not being able to straighten his waist became a sturdy appearance of walking straight and vigorous.

The most important thing is his brain, she really doesn't know how his mind suddenly has so many wonderful ideas, and everything he does is so amazing!

After careful observation, she finally understood that the Rafa in front of her was definitely not the same person as the previous Rafa! Perhaps the first time she saw him, she would only slightly doubt the veracity of the rumors, but as a guardian knight who hardly left his side every day, she knew very well that it might be easy to change a person, but where did all the knowledge he got come from?

She had also expected that the real Rafa was dead, and that he was an illusion of a witch!

If that's the case, will she continue to protect it?

She didn't know.

Walking through the bustling crowd, she suddenly felt that her current life seemed to be good, at least that "Rafa" had become what she should have in her heart.

"Chief Knight, these boxes are so exquisite, I can't believe how beautiful the clothes inside are!" On the way to the shed area, a female knight behind Audair couldn't help but say.

"Don't be foolish, we are not in a position to get involved in our master's reward for others. ”

"Oh. ”

In fact, these female knights are about the same age as Audrey, this should be their best age, but they put on heavy armor and came to this remote place, and their lives will be consumed here.

"I'd like to wear an evening dress too. A strange thought popped into Audele's mind.

"No! I don't want to!"

She shook her head vigorously, as if to snuff out these strange thoughts.

But no matter how much she tried to stop herself, the figure in the evening dress kept flashing in her mind.

It was herself in an evening gown.

In the fantasy, she took off her mask, pulled up her beautiful bun, put on a beautiful dress, waited for "him" to come to her, gracefully stretched out her hand, and led her to dance in the eyes of everyone.

What a wonderful thing that must have been, but it was all gone from her when she became a Guardian Knight.

While he was thinking wildly, the afterglow of the setting sun was shining obliquely from the sky, and the greenhouse area in front of him suddenly became crystal clear and transparent.

That's the light reflected off the glass.

Walking into the greenhouse area, the farmers and aunts are climbing to the top of the greenhouse, and laying down a roll of straw mat from the top until the greenhouse is tightly wrapped; because the night in the northwest is very cold, this layer of straw mat is equivalent to the quilt of the greenhouse, and the vegetables inside will not be frozen after the cover is covered.

It's just that the straw mat in the greenhouse where Audrey is going has not been put down yet, and through the transparent glass, you can see a few girls inside who are still moving in the emerald green leaves.

"It's really hardworking. ”

Secretly admiring, she knocked on the wooden door of the greenhouse, although this is only a field, but the corresponding etiquette still has to be there.

When the wooden door opened, a warm heat rushed out of the shed, and the four girls were standing in a row with a smile, as if they expected something good to happen.

"Your Excellency, what good things are coming today?"

"Lianna, I don't think you already know something..."

Because Audrey is the manager of the new greenhouse area, she is still familiar with the best greenhouses, especially Lianna, although the two have only known each other for seven or eight days, they can already be regarded as friends.

"Where," said Lena with a smile, "It's just that Ao Dai brings me good news every time you come, and this time it won't be our reward, right?"

"Don't get complacent too early, whether you can meet the standard will not be known until after the vegetables are picked, the reward will not come down until that time, and what I bring to you today is something more important than the reward. ”

As soon as she said this, the eyes of the four sisters showed unconcealed joy, which made Audair really think that they seemed to know the inside story.

"Ahem," Audrey cleared her throat and pulled out the card, "dear Lena, Cole, Katya, and Lady Shirley, because of your amazing performance in the shed, I hereby invite you to join me for the ball I have in the Lord of the City on the last day of October, the day after tomorrow, and I respectfully honor Rafa Hevien. ”

After reading the piece of paper with her name written by herself, but it was Rafa, she handed it to Liana.

"Wow!"

"I was told by my sister!"

As she had imagined, the two youngest girls were the first to be happy, and Lena was also smiling, except for Katya, who had always been reserved, standing in place.

"Looks like you've decided to go to the ball, right?"

Shirley immediately exclaimed, "Of course! I've never seen a nobleman's ball look like!"

"Okay, give them something. ”

Next, under the surprised eyes of the four sisters, the two female knights handed over the four exquisite boxes to them.

"What is this?" swore to Liana, who had lived for more than twenty years and had never even touched such a delicate box.

Audrey smiled and said, "Just open it and see." ”

"Wow!"

When the other three sisters saw the box in Liana's hand opened, they all let out an exclamation in unison, and even Katya grew into a mouthful.

"It's beautiful. ”

Lena carefully lifted the beautiful gown, the silk fabric in her hand was so soft that she didn't want to let go for a moment.

"It's... These clothes cost a lot of money, right?" just wanted to take out the clothes completely, but Lena hesitated.

"Don't worry, these are Madame Felihill's collections, which His Highness asked for you, and you don't have to pay for them. ”

"Huh, should we return it when we're done?"

"Of course not, from now on, they are yours. ”

"Greenhouse collar...... Long live His Royal Highness!"

The four sisters each opened the dress in their hands, and the light in their eyes became more agile, and Shirley was even about to take off her clothes and change into a dress on the spot, but Audair hurriedly stopped her.

She didn't understand how rough the girl was, "The glass is transparent, and it's not good if it's seen." ”

"I've never worn it before, I want to give it a try......"

Looking at these girls who have never been poor, Audair sighed a little, since they came to Icefield City, they have suddenly become VIPs who can participate in the prince's banquet, and the ups and downs in their hearts are probably only known to them.

"Okay, the banquet will be held the night after tomorrow, and I will personally come to your dormitory to help you then. ”

Seeing the smiling faces of the girls, Audrey was in a much better mood, but that strange thought still haunted her heart.

Silently returning to the City Lord's Mansion, she was told by the maid that Rafa had been waiting for her for a long time.

She thought that Rafa had something important to do, so she hurried to the empty room that the maid had said.

Rafa was alone in the empty room, and he was now in a noble gown, and was sitting at a table with many boxes on it, which she recognized at a glance, exactly the same as the one she had brought to the four sisters, and which seemed to be in Felihill's possession.

Could it be that he was picking out a dress for Felihill?

Suspicious, she came to Rafa's side, "Your Highness. ”

"Audrey, what do you think of this?" Rafa opened a box and pulled out a piece of clothing from inside.

"It's beautiful. Audair felt that Rafa's questions were pointless, because none of them were taken from Felihill's collection, and none of them were unpretty.

"Yes, but I think this one is more suitable for you. ”

"Hmm... Huh?!" She had a slight suspicion that she had misheard, and her eyes widened.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I don't know how to dance, you have to practice with me. Rafa lowered his clothes and looked at her earnestly.

"I... I... I can't jump. Audrey took two steps back, a little incoherent, she didn't expect that the illusion that had been lingering in her mind was about to become a reality in an instant, and she couldn't accept it for a while.

"Isn't that just right? Once you've learned it, you won't have trouble when it's your turn. ”

"I... No......" I don't know why, she still resists a little instinctively.

"Why?"

"It's... Guardian Knights are not allowed to act beyond the bounds. After stammering for a long time, she finally came up with a strange reason.

"Ao Dai, this reason is too bad, isn't it?"

"Anyway... I can't..."

Rafa knew that suddenly letting her dance in beautiful clothes would definitely overwhelm her for a while, so he nagged at her for a long time, hoping to move her.

Unexpectedly, she was like a piece of ice that had been frozen for thousands of years, no matter how Rafa roasted it, she never melted it in the slightest.

In the end, he had to take a step back so that she didn't have to change into a dress, so she practiced dancing with him.

Audrey couldn't resist her master's orders and had to compromise.

When Rafa took the palm of her hand that was stretched out in armor with a noble salute, the graceful whirling dance began.

Night had come, the empty room was very dark, and under the dancing candlelight, Rafa stared at Audrey with smiling eyes, and her staggered steps were swift and light.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Your Highness. Distracted, Audrey stepped on his foot again, and if she hadn't been wearing a mask, Rafa would have seen her flushed.

"I finally understood how Felihill felt, ahem, but it doesn't matter, we still have time. ”

"Come on, start over, imagine the melodious "Sunset", yes! It's the sunset, you must have heard it, right?"

Audrey nodded.

Rafa smiled again and took her hand, and the rhythm of their footsteps began to converge as the slow sunset tune sounded in her head.

In fact, it is not because Rafa has heard "Sunset", but he uses his star perception to forcibly improve his body's reaction ability, whenever Audrey's steps are disordered, he can always stagger slightly in advance, thus creating the illusion that both of them are dancing well, and the reason why he asked Audrey to dance today is to test the feasibility of this method.

But for Audele, the dance had an extraordinary meaning for her.

She now regrets that she is still wearing heavy armor, and she wants to put all barriers behind and truly understand this "new" Rafa.

The dance between the two lasted for a long time, and in the silent room, only the sound of Audele's slightly rapid breathing and the sound of subtle footsteps were there.

"Almost. ”

Rafa stopped, and Audrey stopped silently.

"These clothes are given to you. Coming to the table, he smiled at her.

"Huh? I don't want ......"

"This is what I have begged for with great difficulty, I have given it to you, if you don't want it, I will probably not want it when I go back to Felihill. ”

“...... All right. ”

Although she said no, she was silently happy in her heart.

The time for the ball soon came, and on the evening of the last day of October, the workers' representatives, dressed in newly issued dresses, walked out of the dormitories in the crowded dormitories to the envious noise of the rest of the quarters, and marched to the lord's mansion with their heads held high.

The four sisters, who did not know how to wear dresses, also wore the luxurious dresses they had only dreamed of in their dreams under the guidance of Audele.

When Audelle helped them tie their hair in a bun, she had no doubt that the four girls would be the focus of the ball today, in addition to Felihill.

"You look like this, no one will doubt it if you say it is a noble lady. ”

Hearing Audele's praise, the four sisters each glanced at each other, and they all showed bright smiles, and even the reserved Katya raised the corners of her mouth.

When the four sisters followed Audrey to the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord's Mansion was already full of people, and the candles in the hall were extraordinarily bright.

The four beautiful sisters walked to the main road leading to the hall, and immediately succeeded in attracting everyone's attention as Audrey had expected, and the people cast undisguised admiration, and the women also tried to straighten their waists, according to the etiquette that Audrey had instructed, and remained elegant and reserved;

"Sister Lianna, I heard that the third prince was a heinous villain when he was in the imperial capital, and we are like this... Will he take a fancy to him?" Sensing the admiring gazes of everyone, the youngest Shirley asked with a blushing face.

"Poof"

Before Lena could answer, Audele on the side was already laughing.

Feeling Shirley's puzzled eyes, Audrey deserved to explain, "You can rest assured, Your Highness will never make an out-of-the-ordinary move. ”

If Rafa was the same as before, Shirley's concern would definitely be justified, but that would never happen now.

"That's right, she has such a beautiful wife, how can she take a fancy to us?" Lena thought for a moment, and echoed.

"Hmm, when have you met Madame Lina?" Audrey remembered that it was the first time the newcomers had appeared in front of everyone since they arrived in Icefield City.

Lena was slightly stunned, and found a reason to perfunctory, "Uh... Yes... I guess, after all, everyone knows that His Royal Highness's wife is Byron's pearl, and this is something that everyone knows......"

"Audrey, is Lady Fili really that beautiful?" asked Cole.

Audair smiled, "Why bother asking me, you'll see her in a moment." ”

When the guests gathered in the hall, everyone except the knights who had attended the banquet showed an indescribable restraint, and even though Rafa and Felihill had not yet appeared, they were already panicking.

Although they were dressed in the gowns that Rafa had given them, their nervous expressions made them a little out of place in the atmosphere of the entire hall.

However, when the four sisters entered the hall, the atmosphere of the entire hall underwent some subtle deflections, and even the reserved knights couldn't help but cast a calm gaze.

Among them, Cole, the son of the head of Kono, walked quickly in front of the four sisters without pretentiousness and stretched out his hand gracefully.

"Beautiful lady, could you dance with me? His gaze was fixed on Katya, who was slightly surprised.

"Knight Cole, you're being rude, you haven't even asked anyone's name. Audrey smiled, he didn't understand why Cole, who had always been mild-mannered, was in such a hurry.

Cole seemed to react at this point, and bent slightly in embarrassment, "Ahem, I'm sorry, beautiful lady, can you tell me your name?"

At the instigation of the other three sisters, Katya had no choice but to reply, "Knight Cole, my name is Katya, Katya Kirton. ”

"It turned out to be Miss Kirton... Hey, if I'm not mistaken, Kirton should be a big noble family on the coast of the East China Sea......"

Katya frowned slightly, her fist clenched under her dress, "I'm sorry, I don't have anything to do with that Kirton family, my surname comes from my mother." ”

"I see, then, Miss Katya, can you accept the invitation of the following to dance together?"

"Of course. ”

Katya raised an eyebrow and gracefully placed her hand in Cole's hand as if everything was familiar.

The luthiers finally saw someone enter the dance and began to play piano music and cello.

With someone to start, more brave young men couldn't wait to invite the rest of the three sisters, and they accepted without hesitation.

With a few more pairs of dancers joining in, the atmosphere in the hall was much more cheerful, and the invited men and women also danced to the dance music in pairs.

Since many of them had not studied aristocratic dance music, everyone danced their own dances, which immediately caused the rest of the hall to laugh, but in such a cheerful atmosphere, no one did anything to them, but they would find it very interesting.

At the end of the dance, the cheerful crowd even forgot that this was the city lord's mansion, and even began to perform the dance of their hometown in the center of the scene, which caused a round of applause from the surrounding crowd.

Even the knights who followed the rules couldn't help but applaud.

Although there was a burst of joy in the whole hall, there were always people worried, such as Captain Kono, who had been staying at the wine table, "Knight Audai, let them be so profligate, Your Highness won't be angry, right?"

"Captain Kono, you know that His Highness has always been tolerant. ”

In fact, there is no need to answer, Curnow also has his own answer, the purpose of this ball is to let everyone get acquainted with each other, and it will be easier to connect the work in the future, Rafa must wish the atmosphere was more joyful.

While everyone was rejoicing, the acquaintance of the luthier first saw the arrival of the two noble masters, but the joyful atmosphere in the room had reached its peak, and everyone was sweating profusely and dancing happily, obviously it was not easy to stop, and no way, as the master of the rhythm of the dance music, he let go of the keys, and then suddenly pressed a few low accents.

"Knock Knock"

The soundtrack came to an abrupt end, and the crowd suddenly came to their senses, knowing that Rafa was coming, stopped dancing, and retreated to both sides of the field, emptying the middle court.

"Gone. Rafa held out his hand.

"Hmm. Felihill put her hand in the palm of his hand.

When two people with completely different temperaments from everyone else appeared, everyone present, whether it was a man or a woman, had a feeling of self-shame.

That is the three princes of the empire, the pearl of the city of Byron.

The sight of these two extremely noble figures gave many people a unique sense of satisfaction, and even though many of them had spoken to Rafa, they were still impressed by the strange temperament of Rafa and Felihill when they appeared together.

"That's... Is that the pearl of Byron......"

The four sisters stared blankly at the indifferent Philisille, even though they had heard it many times in the rumors, but when they saw her with their own eyes, they couldn't think of the right words to describe her.

If I had to use one word, it would be "extraordinary".

The melodious sound of the piano began again, and the two who walked to the center of the field held each other face to face and began to dance gracefully.

After appreciating the noble dance steps of the two, the people who danced just now felt a little blushing.

"Can you be lighter, you just want to press me into your chest like that?" said Felihill as she stared into Rafa's eyes as she slowly swirled.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I thought you weighed as much as Ao Dai in armor. Rafa smiled awkwardly.

"Looks like you've really practiced it seriously. ”

"Of course, Miss Felihill's advice, how could I not follow it?"

"Oh? Obviously, you didn't follow my other advice. Felihill suddenly quickened her pace, as if trying to make Rafa unable to keep up with the pace.

"Fili, I've said many times that guns are to be made, but not now. He quickly concentrated, carefully sensing her footsteps.

"Give me a moment. ”

"Uh... When the steam engine and the track are built......"

"Okay, that's what you said. Felihill's eyes flickered slightly.

"You know, I never lie. ”

"I don't know. ”

“.......”

"Almost, this tune you're ordering is really slow enough. ”

The pianist's slow song "Sunset" slowly ended, and the footsteps of the two began to gradually stop.

Looking at Felihill, Audel imagined that she had danced with Rafa too, just like she did today.

Amid the loud applause of the crowd, Rafa and Felihill raised their newly made transparent wine glasses, enlivening the somewhat silent atmosphere again.

After taking a sip of his wine, Felihill left the ball, and Rafa did not care, and began his eloquent speech.

Inspired by the crowd, he began to eat by example, and the people around him saw that he was gobbling up without the slightest appearance of a prince, and they also ate and drank, and the atmosphere of the whole party seemed to become active again after Felihill left.

Since then, people have been toasting him, and in order to close the distance between himself and these people, he almost did not refuse to come.

In a cheerful atmosphere, the banquet finally ended.

With Audelle's support, he staggered back into his room and fell into a deep sleep.
