Chapter 400 Chapter 194 Bath
Miss Verafia looked at the maid, suspicion flashing in her big eyes.
After all, in the entire Lorinc, she only knew a few people. Who else would want her to wear an evening gown at night if not this guy Ig?
Also, although it was just a glance, the evening gown that the maid was holding was obviously a perfect fit for her size… Looking at it this way, the young man’s suspicion was very high.
Thinking of this, Miss Verafia pouted her red lips indignantly, her snow-white cheeks puffed out.
She felt that perhaps she had been too lenient with Ig these past two days… It was enough that he was pushing his luck, but he didn’t even appear in person to ask her, just handed it over to a few maids?
Miss Verafia crossed her slender arms in front of her chest, contemplating whether she should teach that guy a lesson.
Miss Verafia’s sudden angry expression startled the maid, who quickly raised her head and denied, “No! Young Master Ig has been by Lord Marquis’s side all morning, and I only met the young master once when I was preparing tea snacks.”
“Not that guy?”
“Yes!”
The maid hurriedly nodded, “Actually, after Miss Vera brought Miss Flarn, Miss Catherine asked me and my sisters to pick out a suitable dress for you…”
“Is that so…?” Miss Verafia slightly raised her head.
The “Catherine” the maid mentioned was actually a young girl not much older than her, but she was already the head maid in Marquis Mays’s castle.
In the morning, Miss Verafia had asked Catherine for help when looking for a suitable junior dress for Flarn.
“After all, Miss Vera is Young Master Ig’s… um, travel companion. With your beauty, you’ll surely look even more beautiful if you dress up properly… If Young Master Ig sees you become even more beautiful, he’ll definitely be very happy too.”
The maid thought for a while before finding a suitable word to describe the relationship between the girl and Ig. Holding the crimson fine silk evening gown in both hands, she carefully raised her head and hesitantly asked,
“If you don’t like it, Miss Vera… should I go back and pick out another one for you?”
Miss Verafia bit her youthful lower lip, her eyebrows raised, and her expression on her small face was a little conflicted.
She clearly hadn’t paid much attention to what the maid was saying, but instead, she was in conflict with herself.
The young girl clearly realized that in the moment just now, she hadn’t been too bothered about the matter of the evening gown, but rather she was thinking about whether Ig had instructed it.
Even, she had a thought in her mind: if Ig had come in person to beg her properly, she might have agreed. This was not a good sign, she was already making excuses for herself…
Miss Verafia forcefully raised her head, her gaze shifted away from the gorgeous dress silk, and she grit her silver teeth:
“No need! I already said, I’m fine now! Yes, just thank Catherine for me!”
“Ah… then, I’m sorry for disturbing you, Miss Verafia.”
The maid’s expression was a little disappointed, as if she also wanted to see how stunning this Miss Verafia, with her astonishing beauty, would look after dressing up.
Miss Verafia waved her slender white hand at them, then pouted and turned around, the faint light outside the window spilling in front of her.
Yes, as she had said before… she didn’t like these troublesome and complicated evening gowns, and she wasn’t looking forward to them at all!
As for that guy Ig, even if he had intentions, what of it? Did that guy dare to be fierce towards this young lady?
The faint sound of her steps suddenly stopped in the air. Bright golden sunlight touched her snow-white delicate face, scattering a patch as her delicate body suddenly stopped.
Miss Verafia suddenly realized that the more she emphasized, the more opposing voices emerged in her heart… Even the maid’s voice echoed.
“Hmm. More beautiful, more lovely… I’m looking forward to that. Also, that guy Ig, happy…”
Her small hand clutched her silk-like golden hair, and her fair cheeks, as lustrous as snow jade, puffed out again. The girl gently bit her beautiful lips with her pearl-like teeth.
Although her memory of Lothel had faded a lot, if she didn’t deliberately think about it, it wouldn’t appear at all.
However, just now, in her heart, she suddenly recalled the excited and expectant mood when she won the knight’s competition championship and was waiting for Filirya in the royal palace… and the smile that bloomed when that princess in a gorgeous golden gown walked up to her.
Ig, he…
Miss Verafia suddenly closed her eyes forcefully, gritted her silver teeth, and mumbled,
“I’ll assume you’re kneeling and begging me! Ig… you hateful guy, hmph, I’ll make an exception this time!”
Having made up her mind, Miss Verafia, ignoring her slightly flushed small face, called out to the maid who had just reached the door:
“Wait! I’ve changed my mind… Yes, it’s as you thought. Choose…? I don’t need to choose, I’ll take the one in your hands!”
…
Although her words were self-serving, Miss Verafia’s fair white face was still flushed with a warm blush, vaguely rendering this magnificent and proud young lady with a touch of cuteness.
She took off her exquisite long boots and changed her silk white dress into a light sheer lace-trimmed dress, like a yukata. The girl’s slender, white, jade-like feet moved cautiously under the hem of the fine silk, touching the floor which seemed to be piled with rocks but was already moist with mist.
As if she didn’t want to undress completely at once, Miss Verafia was still wearing knee-high white stockings on her slender legs. It was clear that the high-grade silk, matching the price, had been soaked by the wet floor and clung to the girl’s jade-like toes, which were as white as a white wall but seemed a little uneasy.
“Hmm… why do I have to bathe first?”
Miss Verafia grumbled, and a few strands of her beautiful hair seemed to have been misted with water. Her big eyes under long eyelashes looked at the steamy scene in the entire bathroom.
As the lord of the marquis, the estate naturally had a bath prepared for the young ladies and ladies to bathe.
Moreover, from her observation just now, the stone-built bathroom did not use pre-heated water in the traditional way, but was heated by magical power.
Therefore, in just the short time it took her to change her clothes, the entire bathroom had been filled with heated water vapor, making Miss Verafia’s face feel somewhat hot.
Yes… it wasn’t her problem, it was just because the water vapor was too hot.
Miss Verafia argued forcefully, turning her eyes back, and looked at the two maidservants who had also changed into similar attire and walked up to her side, their crisp, charming laughter like silver bells, their age not much older than hers.
