It was a fair-skinned girl, with a plain hood covering her face, plus she kept her head down, so Xena couldn't see her face clearly. The girl wore a simple and outdated dress, and the very unfashionable crystal slippers on her feet were much more dazzling - but most of the people present would have looked at them with a hint of disdain: anyone with a little common sense knew that crystals were difficult to polish into the shape of shoes, let alone suitable for human wear, and that they must have been just ordinary shoes with glass inlaid on the outside.

and then linked to the girl's slightly shabby clothing, which can make everyone affirm their opinions in their hearts.

The girl came in through the side door, and she was very careful in her movements, as if she might disturb others. Her steps were very small, and it could be seen that she must be very nervous at this time.

"What a clean little cabbage!" Zina's eyes lit up, and she didn't know why, the moment she saw this girl, she had a strange emotion rolling in her heart. Even if she hadn't seen the other party's face clearly, she had a feeling of being attracted to the other party in her heart.

Xena swore that she had only felt this feeling with Jane before, but the former was because of the curse she had, and she couldn't count the charm she had. Although the girl in front of her is not as charming as Jane, it also makes her feel itchy, not to mention that her movements are so careful and hesitant, like a small boat floating between the stormy waves, as if it may be overwhelmed by the crowd around her at any time - this kind of temperament is easy to make people feel pity.

Zina's heart was pounding, and her eyes were fixed on the pure figure.

Just as a dance song had come to an end, some of the guests near the side door on the dance floor noticed the girl who had joined in the middle of the process. However, for some reason, although they were quite disdainful of the girl's origins, it was difficult to take their eyes off her. Several youths even volunteered to walk up to her and extend invitations to her at the same time.

"Beautiful young lady, although it is November and it is a little cold outside, there is an ample fireplace in the house to heat the ball, and you don't need to wear a hat." A young man with a blond hair seemed to see the girl's embarrassment and bewilderment, and spoke to her very understandingly.

The girl nodded gratefully at him, hesitated slightly, and then took off her hat.

At that moment, the corner of the dance floor was filled with the sound of several glass shattering on the ground.

The people who were surprised by the sound turned their heads and looked at the corner of the dance floor, they wanted to know what was going on, but the girl was short and surrounded by the people around her, and the rest of the people naturally couldn't see it.

The men and women in the corner were different, and the moment the girl took off her hat, all the women were eclipsed, and the men's eyes were fixed on the girl, and they could no longer take their eyes away.

"What a delicate beauty!" A middle-aged nobleman shook his hands and muttered in admiration. There were shards of glass lying at his feet, and fine wine was spilled all over the floor.

The young men who had gathered around them before turned red one by one, and they couldn't speak, even the young man who spoke before was deeply attracted by the pitiful temperament exuded by the girl's body, and a blank space appeared in his mind for a moment.

"Oh my God, she's a goddess from heaven!"

"No, she is so pitiful, delicate facial features, fair skin, and pitiful eyes, my blood has begun to boil!"

"It's a masterpiece of God, a masterpiece!"

The people in the corner whispered admiration, the women involuntarily showed jealous eyes, and the men were obsessed with a little embarrassment, and they all tried to change their postures to hide the untraced embarrassment under their waists.

"What a stunning beauty," said the young man who had spoken earlier, who stepped in front of the girl with a lunge and stretched out his right arm gracefully to invite, "I wonder if I am lucky enough to be able to dance with you?" ”

The girl bowed her head timidly, and no one but herself knew the words that roared in her heart—

"I'll go, don't you want to be so exaggerated, isn't it just 30 charm points? Do these lewd perverts want to look at me so exaggeratedly...... I want to sneak in in a low-key way, not be noticed in a high-profile way!! ”

Duran's speechless complaining could not change the fact that he had been targeted by many men, he originally wanted to rely on the ability of the cross-dressing crystal slipper to sneak into this ball, but who knew that he had forgotten the other surname of this pair of crystal slippers. The charm of up to thirty points is enough to make most men obsessed, and now he is an out-and-out little beauty in the eyes of others, his face lines have been corrected to be extremely soft, the eyebrows that were originally slightly thicker have also become elegant, the eyelashes appear more slender, and slightly upturned, and a pair of eyes seem to be able to speak - in Duran's heart, it is a full "little three faces".

"What a goblin." A sour voice came from the crowd on the side, and a noblely dressed woman proudly lifted her plump and somewhat bloated chin, and did not hide her jealous gaze: "Do you want to find a man?" This is not a good place for a young girl like you, even if any of the young ladies present take a fancy to you, I am afraid that your father will have to work hard to make up a fraction of the dowry. ”

The woman's mean words immediately resonated with other women, and several ladies or ladies of noble birth immediately echoed and began to judge the girl.

The man who invited him frowned slightly, then nodded at the girl and smiled, "Come on, everyone is here to dance, don't be spoiled by a few people." ”

As he spoke, he ignored the ugly faces of the ladies and drew closer.

The girl gave him a grateful look and blushed a little as she reached out and grabbed the man's arm.

At this moment, a new dance music sounded melodiously, and the man politely led her into a corner of the dance floor.

"Thank you, sir." The girl said with a flushed face.

The man said very gracefully, "You're welcome." You're beautiful, can I know your name? Oh yes, I'm Aemon. Brown, have you heard of the Nugget Chamber of Commerce? It was my father's inheritance. ”

"Hello, Mr. Brown, my name is Ricky. Marty. "The girl doesn't talk much, her steps are so stupid that she can see that she can't dance at all. But Aemon Brown was clearly a master of this, and while he tried his best to guide the girl's steps, he was already thinking about how to use his father's influence to deal with the innocent girl in front of him. His demeanor was impeccable, and his mouth was very ingenious, and from time to time he made a few jokes to coax the young lady of Marty's house.

"Ricky, do you see the old women looking at you? They're jealous of your youth and looks, because you don't need to wear 99 layers of foundation at a prom like them......"

The girl smiled implicitly and lowered her head again.

Brown was very satisfied, the girl in front of him was almost impeccable, and the only drawback seemed to be that she was too shy to look at herself.

Only the "girl" herself knows that she is struggling to escape the eyes of the crowd - Duran did not come to find a man to be a dance partner in the Earl of Lyle's manor, but the situation before him found it very tricky, and the other effect of the cross-dressing crystal slipper made it difficult for him to escape the fanatical gaze of the men, and it was almost impossible to sneak away under the gaze of everyone.

"It's really troublesome, if it weren't for the fact that the guards of Lyle Manor are too strong, even if you kill me, don't do this bloody trick of pretending to be a woman." Duran's mind was running wild, trying to find a way to temporarily disappear from everyone's eyes. "The exhibition should start soon, right? If you want to steal the Deep Sea Crown, you basically only have a few minutes of chance, and you must quickly get rid of the gaze of these annoying people. ”

After the dance, Duran took the opportunity to let go of Brown's arm, smiled softly and said, "I want to take a break first." Mr. Brown, take care of yourself. ”

Brown smiled heartily, and was about to say something, but who knew that a cold and stiff sentence came from the side: "She said she wants to take a break, Mr. Brown, you better find another dance partner." ”

The girl's body stiffened, and the next moment, her waist was grabbed by another slender arm.

When she looked back, the man's eyebrows were heroic, and his appearance was also very beautiful.

"Oh no, why is this woman ?!! at this ball"

Duran's heart was beating wildly, because the woman holding his waist was a disciple of the Grand Duke of Goldfinch. Lancelot's best friend, Xena, who had a relationship with each other at the West Mountain Pass before! (To be continued.) )
