Chapter 20 Can You Give Me a Button?

Rob didn't speak, all Jessica needed at this time was a confidant, he could see that the dissatisfaction accumulated in the girl's heart had been suppressed for a long time, and it wasn't just because of this dinner party, she and her brother, The conflict between fathers has been going on for a long time, and it is by no means as simple as one or two things, as if a room is full of dry wood, and something that happened at a dinner party not long ago is like a fire, completely igniting the dry wood in this room, so that all the contradictions accumulated during this time burst out at this moment.

Jessica left the table angrily and walked alone to the most remote lounge, originally wanting to be quiet, but when she pushed the door open, she found that there was someone else inside.

The first meeting between the two was a bit awkward, probably to break the awkwardness, the sorceress took the initiative to introduce herself afterwards, but at that time she was clearly still angry, so the introduction sounded more like a vent.

In fact, Jessica regretted it after those words were spoken, after all, this is an internal matter of their family, no matter how dissatisfied she is, she shouldn't tell outsiders, not to mention that the other party is just a stranger, just five minutes ago when she pushed open the door, the two still didn't know each other, until now she didn't know each other's names, but the strange thing is that from the first time she saw him, there was an inexplicable sense of trust in the girl's heart, maybe this is why she couldn't help but pour out the bitterness in her stomach to the other party.

Jessica didn't know where that trust came from, it was as if she had gone to a dance party, where everyone was wearing masks and dancing to the beat, except for the one standing quietly on the dance floor, looking calm and unmoved.

It's a bit familiar.

Something flashed in the sorceress's mind, and her intuition told her that it was something very important, but when she tried to think about it, she couldn't remember it, and then Jessica realized that she might have been thinking for a little too long, and after coming back to her senses, she apologized to the other party, "I'm sorry for making you laugh just now, but we ...... Have you seen it somewhere?"

"Fawkes, Fawkes Corey, from an equally unknown little family in the North, but I'm probably a little luckier than you, I'm the eldest son in the family, I don't have an older brother above, and I shouldn't have been here in my capacity, but there happens to be a distant cousin of mine in Gudries City, who brought me in, and this is my first time in the South, so if you haven't been to the North before, we should meet for the first time. "The future Ultra Magister has reported the identity that D'Ardarion has prepared for him.

"Fawkes?" the sorceress silently jotted down the name, which was destined to last only one night, and then said earnestly, "It's nice to meet you." ”

Jessica herself can't tell why, the other party's appearance can't be considered ugly, but it's not handsome, it looks ordinary in all aspects, and it's even more inconspicuous among tonight's guests, but she can't help but want to get close to the other party, that feeling...... It feels like the person you've been looking for has finally appeared in front of you.

Otherwise, how to explain this familiar feeling, the sorceress was slightly flustered when she thought of this, and wanted to drink champagne to relieve her nervousness, but the glass was brought to her mouth only to find that it was empty, so Jessica was even more embarrassed at this time, especially when she found Rob looking at her.

"No, I'm sorry, tonight, my head has been groggy tonight. The sorceress couldn't remember how many times she had apologized in just a few minutes.

His Excellency the future Ultra Magister shook his head, opened the wine cabinet on the side, and glanced at Count Nathan's collection inside, "There is no champagne here, is fruit wine okay?"

Jessica nodded and handed over the empty cup in her hand, "Thank you." ”

"It's a gesture. "Your Excellency the future Wizard pours half a glass of wine for the Female Magus.

When Jessica took the glass, she found that the other party was staring at her chest, and she couldn't help but blush, a little annoyed and a little happy, the guy named "Fawkes" seemed to be very focused, which made her heart pound again.

The sorceress found herself a little flustered at the moment, what if the other party had more excessive actions next?Although she didn't hate the man in front of her, after all, the two had only known each other for a few minutes, and now they were in someone else's house......

Jessica was still thinking nonsense, but the guy named Fox had already spoken again, "Can you take the liberty of asking, what kind of buttons are you made of this dress?"

Jessica was stunned when she heard this, what kind of problem is this? But she thought about it, and still answered the other party truthfully, "The raw material of the button should be turquoise, but after processing, it is also plated with a layer of silver." ”

His Excellency the future Ultra Magister looked a little strange, obviously he also knew how strange the request he was about to make next, but after hesitating for a moment, he spoke, "Uh...... Can you give me one of these clasps?"

Jessica had also heard of the strange habits of some nobles, some of them were keen to collect women's personal belongings, could it be that the polite-looking Fawkes in front of her was also this kind of person? She couldn't help but shudder, realizing this also made her heart a little uncomfortable, in fact, the female magician didn't need to think much to refuse the other party, "I'm afraid this won't work, I don't have any extra buttons on my body, and these two can't be taken off on the dress." ”

"I'm sorry, I was presumptuous. Rob bowed slightly, his eyes were very clear, but it made the girl a little apologetic, thinking that she might have misunderstood the other party, so he added, "If you really like it, I will find the tailor who made this dress to help you ask for one more button when you go back, so can you leave me an address?"

Jessica plucked up the courage to say this, but to her disappointment, the other party did not respond to her in the first place, Rob looked a little embarrassed, and was about to explain, but heard a voice from outside the hallway, which was calling the name of the sorceress.

Jessica's face changed, "It's my brother, and the young master of the Prince family, they're coming for me, I'd better go out first, those two are very annoying guys, you won't want to see them." ”

After the girl finished speaking, she put down her clothes and tidied up, and her face returned to her previous cold expression, and she pushed the door and walked out.
