Chapter 587 If You Want a Formal Dress…
Sensing the girl’s unusual emotions, Igert tightened his grip slightly, gently clasped the young girl’s tender hand, and smiled:
“Veer, what’s wrong… You suddenly look unhappy?”
“Mmm, I’m not unhappy…”
Biting her lips with her teeth, the young girl raised her beautiful golden eyes. Amidst the brilliant and magnificent colors, a delicate feeling appeared. She tightened her grip on the young man’s hand, “I was wondering, Igert, which version of me do you like more?”
“This…”
Igert chuckled awkwardly. However, he noticed that the girl’s shining golden eyes showed a genuine seriousness, not like she was deliberately acting spoiled or flirting. So, he slightly restrained the smile on his face and said seriously,
“Veer, to me, there’s no difference. No matter what kind of Young Lady you are, you’ll be my favorite girl.”
The young man’s answer did not satisfy the girl, and she slightly bit her delicate lips.
Igert panicked. Did the girl take his answer as perfunctory? Just as he was about to explain, his palm was gently pulled, and the girl’s gaze met his.
Slightly closing her golden eyes, the girl said softly, “Igert, do you prefer girls like Little Fei or Ain who have better figures, or cute girls like Niya… Hmm, but how can I change?”
Hearing her words, Igert felt like crying and laughing. He thought this girl had been worrying about this all along… She was lively and cheerful before, and suddenly became dejected again. Just now, she was hiding it, wasn’t she?
Moreover, she was a noble Goddess Princess, a girl whose beauty would be admired by countless people, yet at this moment, she seemed very unconfident, like a pitiful little bird. It was a contrast that made her even more endearing.
However, Igert certainly wouldn’t bear to tease his girl.
After a moment of thought, Igert clasped her little hand in his palm and said seriously,
“Young Lady, you are already very cute. Having a beautiful girl like Veer by my side is quite enviable…”
“Is that so…”
Verafia softly murmured, her slender, delicate eyelashes blinking slightly. It seemed the emotions in her heart had lightened a bit. She took her hand out, gave him a cute smile, and then ran forward.
This Young Lady… But are girls’ thoughts so fickle?
Igert also showed a smile. However, it was quickly replaced by a slight worry, and he quickly followed her.
The slender and beautiful figure did not leave Igert’s sight. The young man pushed through the crowd and found the slim figure in the white dress had stopped.
The girl’s childlike jade fingertips slightly grasped the hem of her skirt, her gaze fixed on the clothing store by the roadside.
The transparent display window glass was slightly frosted, and behind it was a gorgeous white formal dress, with ribbons and cut-outs, intricate decorations, luxurious and beautiful, while also exuding nobility.
“Young Lady… Do you want to change into this dress?”
Igert rushed to her side and looked up. This clothing store was recommended by Count Sirius on the map.
However, Igert then asked with a slight doubt, “Does Young Lady want a formal dress?”
This was quite unusual.
Whether it was the girl who was pretending to be “Phoenix Young Lady” before, or the girl who was now revealing her true feelings, she had never resisted wearing girls’ dresses, but she rarely chose such complicated formal dresses.
Igert had once asked out of curiosity, and Verafia had replied very cheerfully at the time that with her appearance, any dress would look better than a formal dress…
Moreover, she was too lazy to deal with the bothersome process of human formal dresses that took hours to put on. It was better to condense them directly with magic.
In Igert’s memory, the only time the girl wore a formal dress was in Lorinc, at Marquis Mays’s manor. At that time, it seemed to be to welcome the Marquis’s banquet, and the girl spent a long time being dressed by a maid, wearing that magnificent, true-red formal dress.
“Yes, I do. Don’t you think I’ll look good in it, Igert?”
Verafia tilted her little head slightly, her golden eyes blinking, and gave a rather cute smile.
She had a sudden whim. Compared to other girls, she, as a noble Goddess Princess and a Young Lady, was special, wasn’t she?
However, as if worried about the young man’s suspicion, Verafia took his hand, lifted her small face, and smiled sweetly, her golden eyes flowing with wisps of laughter, “Hmm, this isn’t for your visual pleasure… I want to wear it myself too.”
After saying that, without waiting for Igert to object, Verafia pulled his hand and walked into the clothing store.
…
Patiently waiting in the clothing store, there was the sound of fine friction between the fabric and the veil of the skirt. Soon, the wooden door of the fitting room was pushed open, and Igert quickly raised his eyes.
The store clerk carefully held the girl’s delicate and dexterous hand under her pure white lace gloves. The exquisite corset outlined the girl’s moving curves. The bright colors adorned the white fabric of the formal dress, and the slightly exaggerated crinoline displayed the nobility and luxury of the formal dress.
It seemed to be the brightest color in the whole world, and everything around it faded into insignificance.
The pure white maiden gently moved her slender fingers wrapped in silk, a touching smile appearing on her cheeks. Every move she made was filled with the elegance of a royal noblewoman. Anyone would sincerely regard her as a graceful and noble Princess.
Igert’s eyes lit up. The girl’s image was like she had received strict court education, and every gesture, every light smile, was filled with etiquette and elegance.
In the past, when the girl pretended to be Phoenix Young Lady, she was more like a spoiled and willful Young Lady, like a pampered daughter of a wealthy family… And in the sky of Lichen, as the Flame Goddess, she was equally revered and noble, but with a lofty and aloof presence that was untainted by the mortal world.
He rarely saw the girl in such a noble and elegant posture. Even though he probably knew that this was likely just a temporary pretense by this whimsical girl, he couldn’t help but be captivated at this moment.
“However, Young Lady in the past… Lord Lothel, where did you learn the court etiquette of a noble lady? Could it be when you associated with Princess Filir?”
Igert thought with amusement in his heart.
As if seeing her own appearance, the girl’s eyelashes blinked slightly, her small face curving into a gentle smile, her mood seeming as cheerful as the colors.
“You’re so beautiful. Miss, your temperament is just like a Princess.”
Carefully holding the girl’s soft little hand, the store clerk praised her sincerely, echoing Igert’s thoughts:
“You are already very beautiful, and wearing this dress, I think even the grandest dance banquet will seem dim.”
