Chapter 82: Cute Girls
Accompanying the crisp chirping of birds, Lonis woke up.
She couldn’t remember how long she had slept, but she remembered having a wonderfully beautiful dream.
In the dream, it seemed like she had done something very happy with Elus. However, recalling it now, it was a bit blurry.
“Ah, right, what should I do now… Huh? Wait a minute!”
Patting her chest, Lonis realized she had broken free from her restraints.
Not only that, but she was lying in the bedroom of the Time Shuttle… Outside the window was bright sunshine, and birds were chirping freely.
And the silver-haired princess Elus, was collapsed beside her, sleeping soundly.
The faint glimmer of dawn illuminated her flawless profile, and Cécile’s attire was exactly the same as in her dream.
“W-What’s going on? Could it be that I’m still dreaming… N-No! This shouldn’t be a dream, but… could it be that the memory of me being captured was the dream?!”
Lonis rubbed her head, feeling a bit dizzy.
But just then, there was a light knock on the door.
“Junior Elus, are you awake?”
“Huh?”
“I’m Mi Xue Zhou, um…”
“Ah, Senior Mi Xue Zhou, Elus hasn’t woken up yet, you can just tell me if there’s anything.”
Lonis sat up, but perhaps the conversation was a bit too loud?
The silver-haired princess beside her, after a slight murmur, opened her eyes: “Urusai, it’s so noisy! Who is it, disturbing this princess’s morning sleep…”
…
Although her voice sounded fierce, Elus’s voice was more like a spoiled child’s complaint than a scolding.
“Princess Elus, you’re awake?”
“Huh? Lonis, why are you here, strange, what is this… what happened to me?”
Elus, who had just woken up, had a wonderfully changing expression!
At first, it was disdain and defiance.
Then, it was surprise and confusion.
After that, it transformed into an unbelievable realization.
Finally, although the princess wanted to control her expression and put on her usual cold demeanor… but all these expressions fell into Lonis’s sight, making it impossible to continue pretending.
The only thing she could do was…
“Lonis, kneel down for me!”
“Huh?”
“Turn your face away, you’re not allowed to look!!!”
Elus didn’t explain anything that happened yesterday or in the past, as if those scenes were truly an illusory dream.
And Lonis, with “tacit understanding,” didn’t dare to ask. Sometimes, being confused is less annoying than being smart.
Senior Mi Xue Zhou also came forward as if she had made a mistake, saying, “Ah, ah, I’ve prepared breakfast, juniors, hurry up and eat~~ Oh right, Princess Cécile sent a message earlier, asking if we want to go to Mingjin Temple together?”
“Mingjin Temple…”
“Yes, the war with the Demon Race has come to an end. And Princess Cécile is also very worried about the situation at Mingjin Temple and wants to go confirm it.”
“Well, let’s go tomorrow then.”
Elus yawned and walked out of the bedroom.
Logically speaking, the black-hearted and proud princess should have washed her black hair and changed back into her usual attire… but Elus seemed a bit groggy from sleep and went to the dining room directly wearing her princess dress.
And the girl’s attire naturally stunned everyone.
“Cécile… No, it’s classmate Elus?”
Su Ling was surprised and almost dropped the chopsticks in her hand onto the table.
“I didn’t expect classmate Elus to look even more beautiful in her princess attire.”
Isumi smiled slightly, without much praise.
“So, so beautiful…”
Bai Ye was so shocked she couldn’t speak, just looking at Elus with admiration.
This made the black-hearted girl a bit unsure how to respond.
After all, no matter how arrogant Elus was, she was only like that towards Lonis… She had never bullied anyone in front of her seniors and classmates.
Seeing this, Lonis quickly followed:
“Ah, ah! Everyone, this is Elus’s new outfit. Aren’t we going to Mingjin Temple tomorrow? So we need to prepare in advance~~”
“Oh…?”
“Because Princess Cécile said that wearing beautiful clothes can better control the power of Mingjin Temple? So Elus is wearing this outfit.”
Lonis not only made excuses for Elus because she doted on her wife and wanted to protect her no matter what…
But also because she knew that if Elus was in a bad mood, she would be the one to suffer.
“Oh, I see. Then Su Ling will also prepare a gorgeous outfit in the afternoon~~~ Bai Ye, you prepare one too.”
“Huh? I need one too…”
“Mhm, Bai Ye, your current clothes are very simple and beautiful, but as a girl, you should at least have one very gorgeous and beautiful dress in your wardrobe? That would be perfect~~”
…
…
The matter seemed to have passed just like that.
Except for Senior Mi Xue Zhou, no one knew what had happened yesterday.
And Lonis? She was also glared at by Elus.
The girl’s resentful gaze seemed to say: You weak maid, don’t think you’ll get any better treatment by pleasing the master.
However…
For Lonis, even though she was glared at by Elus, she was now enjoying this attention.
Because Elus in a princess outfit was truly too beautiful.
Moreover, if what happened yesterday wasn’t a dream, it meant that Elus also had a very gentle side now.
Although it was impossible for her to be like this normally, as long as she knew that the fleeting happiness of last night wasn’t just her own vain fantasy, that was enough~
(So happy~~)
Time quickly came to the second day.
Everyone arrived at the Royal Palace of the Kingdom of Ming, preparing to go to Mingjin Temple with the help of Princess Cécile.
However, because of Lonis’s nonsensical remark, all the girls were dressed gorgeously.
Su Ling wore a light beige dress, the patterns on the dress were not only gorgeous but also very pleasing to the eye due to the harmonious colors.
Bai Ye also changed into the small dress she had just bought yesterday, which was a forest-style dress carefully selected by Su Ling. It also had a hood with a deer shape on the back.
Senior Mi Xue Zhou also wore a dress with a more revealing cut, and she had rabbit ears on her head… It seemed she wanted to beg for classmate Elus’s forgiveness in this way.
Everyone had arrived, only waiting for Princess Cécile.
But no one expected…
“S-Sorry everyone. There was a slight accident just now, and I’ve only just finished dealing with it.”
“Huh?”
“Let’s go to the royal palace’s back garden, um… Warrior Lonis and Warrior Elus have already gone there.”
Cécile said, catching her breath.
