Chapter 135: Disparity
walked in and looked, only to find that the famous Mrs. Katrina, judging from her facial features alone, was not as exaggerated as Liu Ci imagined. If you have to make a ranking among the girls you have seen in the other world, Mrs. Katrina is definitely ranked below the alchemy girl. Mrs. Catrina was in her twenties, and her facial features were all set, but the girl was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and she was still a long way from her peak state.
Katrina can be famous far and wide, and what adds to her style is her graceful figure.
Obviously not particularly beautiful facial features, but her gestures are full of indescribable charm.
"Beauty is in the bones, not in the skin", as soon as I saw Katrina, this sentence jumped out inexplicably. Liu Ci paused, and moved forward with confidence again. Katrina's characteristics made Liu Ci feel that her gift was too right.
"Lady Catherina."
Katrina looked up, probably because she was embarrassed and looked at by Liu Ci who didn't know her, and a touch of dislike flashed the beauty's eyes.
"You're coming to see me laughing?"
Even though she asked seriously, her voice had a natural charm, and the spur language flowed out of her mouth, with more lingering compassion that Liu Ci had never had.
Liu Ci shook his head, "Tsk, the famous Mrs. Katrina, she won't be so graceless, right?" ”
As she spoke, she deliberately turned her gaze downstairs, and in the dimming of the candlelight, Eve Gaskin did have a tendency to bewitch the lord of the castle. As Liu Ci's gaze shifted, Katrina's fingers clenched into fists again, and a moment later, the beauty's soft and boneless white fingers stretched out again.
"If you lose, you lose, I'm not as good as her tonight."
Catrina slowed her erratic breathing, relieved when a strange girl admitted her inadequacy.
Downstairs, the lord of the city almost danced with Eve Gaskin.
The middle-aged man with eagle-like eyes probably forgot his original purpose for coming to the ball: he was repeatedly invited by Katrina to come to the ball when his wife was seriously ill, but the moving girl who appeared out of thin air made him forget his old lover.
Now it seems that the winner is Eve Gaskin, and many lovers led by Katrina have all become foils. If Liu Ziyuan is here, he will definitely be ashamed of such a man who abandons his seriously ill wife, and Liu Ci, who has three wrong views, will probably never sympathize with the city lord's wife who is seriously ill but hugs left and right - you have to have a vision when you pick a man, and if you pick a scum, you will have to suffer the consequences.
Katrina simply admitted defeat, and didn't bother to look at the dazzling men and women downstairs, and was about to turn around and leave, but heard Liu Ci smile and say, "Madam, I have a gift that I want to give to Madame personally." ”
Lady Katrina, who had returned to her original state, was a very pleasant young woman.
She had never seen Liu Ci in her social circle at all, and when Liu Ci motioned for Nana to hold the gift box, she still took it politely and thanked Liu Ci.
Thanks—and she's gone.
Being close to the people does not mean that there is no shelf, and she can personally accept the gift that Liu Ci said, which is enough to give face to the strange girl in the upper-class social circle of Emster City in front of her.
Send the gift at the most appropriate time, and in the face of the departing Katrina, Liu Ci is not disappointed.
She took Nana back downstairs.
Katrina should be playing soon, right? Liu Ci's eyes flashed with inexplicable emotion, and the plan was perfect at the beginning, as if he had miscalculated Katrina's character. The other party seems to be not as obsessed with the city lord as rumored, and the young woman looks at Eve Gaskin's gaze, more as a "front wave", and is disliked by the young back wave on the beach.
She was angry that she was not as good as others, not because she was jealous that Eve had received the gaze of the city lord.
A woman who only loves herself?
Liu Ci admires this kind of character, but he doesn't want his calculations to change because of Katrina's character.
But now she can only wait...... If it doesn't work, maybe she will have to change her approach, put aside the roundabout methods, and directly start with the city lord who looks stunned at this time?
…………
On the third floor, a cloakroom with a purple predominance of ornamentation.
In a large glass mirror with carved wooden edges, a beautiful young woman appears in the flickering candlelight.
She has a particularly beautiful pair of eyebrow bones, which makes her have a unique temperament whether she is laughing or crying, or when she is expressionless now. Behind him stood a bunch of bowed maids, a well-known tailor in the city, sweating profusely, twenty-six years old, and the famous Mrs. Catrina, who had been married twice, looked at the figure in the mirror, and was momentarily confused.
Crystals, fire diamonds, and even gold mineral beads with a sharp aura, all kinds of gorgeous jewels are packed in brocade boxes covered with satin, and they sparkle in the candlelight. The shelves around the room were filled with all kinds of services. Heroic riding costumes, feminine sheer lace, court skirts, and even modified robes that resemble those dressed by magicians.
This cloakroom with all clothes and accessories, the total price of the items is difficult to estimate, if Liu Ci is here, from the perspective of her former maiden, the things in the room are enough to make any woman in the world excited.
But looking around the cloakroom at this time, the expression on Mrs. Katrina's face was definitely not "happy".
She can turn around and leave very gracefully in front of Liu Ci, in fact, a noble woman in her prime, in the face of the "provocation" of the daughter of a viscount's family, if she can do it without any anger, why should she hold a ball when the city lord's wife is seriously ill?
Didn't you just want the ladies in the city to see if the lord of the city chose to stay at home or be invited to come when his wife was seriously ill?
Women, they sometimes compete for men, not because of the man himself, but to prove his charm. Especially a beautiful woman, she loves face more than she loves people!
"Ma'am, this is a new necklace from someone......"
The maid enters the door with a brocade box, and the lid is lifted to allow people to peek inside at a glance.
It is a necklace made of a crystal the size of a pigeon's egg as the main material, and a diamond the size of a 100-8 fingernail as the background, a perfect combination! The other maids who were waiting in the cloakroom couldn't help but inhale the moment they saw the necklace.
What is the value of a dress with a novel cut, and the lady wearing this necklace is the center of attention at the ball, right?
"Stupid ......"
After a brief moment of distraction, Catrina looked away, her delicate lips coldly spitting out two words.
These maids, her training time is not too short, why are they still stupid and incorrigible? Whether it is jewelry or dress, it is to bring out the beauty of the wearer, not to let the wearer be robbed of the style by jewelry and dresses.
She is not the owner of a jewelry store, even if she goes down with this necklace at this time and attracts the attention of the city lord and the audience, everyone will only admire the priceless necklace, and it has nothing to do with "Katrina" herself!
"Before, wasn't there a little wind, what a strange ......"
Thinking of Eve Gaskin's dress, Katrina was displeased.
When was this top-notch design not delivered to her first?
Catherina's whispers made the tailor want to bury her head under the marble tiles. As Madame Catharina's royal tailor, his skilled hands have cut and produced countless gowns that reflect Catrina herself, bringing her countless admirers, as well as fame and business to her tailor's shop.
When does a new designer emerge in town? The tailor dared to swear to the god of light with his eating hands that the impact of the dress would definitely not only affect Madame Katrina, but if the mysterious designer continued to release new pieces, the trend pattern of Amster City would be broken.
The maid who came running with the necklace knew that she was in trouble, and hurriedly tried to close the brocade box, but accidentally knocked over the gift box that Katrina took back and put on the dresser.
"Well, someone gave you a dress, ma'am."
The tailor's profession made him full of love for clothes, and he could not allow them to be trampled in front of him, so he twisted up his half-hidden skirt.
Thin and transparent, the tailor felt the fabric and surged with comments.
Then he shook the skirt in his hand, first with disdain, and after closer inspection, turned into surprise.
"This dress...... Madame, where did this dress come from? Can I meet the designer of the tailoring?"
The old tailor was so excited that he slurred his words, and he saw two cuts like the hand of God in one night!
Katrina's gaze became serious.
Didn't this thing be given to her by the strange girl?
There are many women among Catherina's admirers, and she didn't care too much about the gifts given by Liu Ci. Seeing the old tailor's excited look, Katrina had a faint instinct, the gift she accepted casually seemed to be very pleasantly surprised?
……
"Miss, will Lady Catrina not even open our gift box?"
Nana stepped forward with a gossip on her face and bit her ears with Liu Ci.
The pervert is about to hug Eve Gaskin, why hasn't the reversal plot mentioned by Miss Ci started? Under the leadership of the bad owner, Nana, who ate several cakes, was so sweet that she was greasy, and she was anxious to watch the show.
"It's not surprising if you don't guess it, it's up to heaven to make things happen, that is, the God of Light doesn't want us to succeed so easily, and you don't have to be too disappointed."
Liu Ci doesn't care, it's just a pity that he spent a lot of time on the two dresses.
I knew it was useless, so I might as well leave it to myself.
"Eve Gaskin, I can invite you ......"
The perverted city lord stretched out his hand gently, and the noble ladies continued to pull their gloves, this is to invite Eve to dance the opening dance?
"Look, Lady Katrina, oh my God, she's so beautiful that she will shock the gods!"
Exaggerated exclamations of praise draw everyone's attention.
At the corner of the staircase, Mrs. Catrina, dressed in a red gown, walked slowly down the railing, the swaying red dress followed her curves, and the light fabric tempted people to guess the texture under the skin—there were flowers, and they filled the flower hall in an instant.
