Chapter 172 You Dog
"You should go and entertain the guests, Canyon." Catherine said in a cold tone. She hated Canyon's stupid look of showing off in front of the opposite sex the most.
"I'm not just..."
"I mean entertaining the new guests who are about your age," Catherine said slowly.
Kanien's eyelids twitched, and he almost couldn't keep his smile. This little girl actually said that she was old! But when he saw the cold light in Catherine's eyes, he turned his head away honestly.
"Excuse me, Miss Lilith. I hope you have fun here. If possible, could you leave the last dance to me?" Kanyon lowered his eyes and moved closer, his voice tender.
Lilith's eyes widened instantly, but it was not because of this sudden preferential treatment, but because -
No one taught her to dance! !
"Canion." Catherine saw her brother's dead look and warned him again.
"Okay, okay..." Kanyon finally bowed gracefully and turned to leave. But before leaving, he was unwilling to work alone, so he turned around and pulled Catherine along.
The excuse was that the hostess of the Duke's Mansion was away and Catherine needed to take on the responsibility of receiving the female guests.
Without the princess by her side, the focus on Lilith was much less. She let out a breath and felt a lot more relaxed.
So now——Lilith looked around, searching for her target.
It's time for another happy buffet!
When she happily picked up a plate of her favorite food and was about to find an empty corner to quietly enjoy the delicious food, she turned around and saw two familiar faces.
"Why are you here?" Anqi's face was full of surprise and anger, and Daniel beside her also looked worried.
Ever since receiving the invitation to the banquet at the Duke's Mansion, Angie has been preparing carefully every day and dressed up very formally tonight. But as soon as she entered the banquet hall, she saw that disgusting blonde hair.
"Of course I'm here to attend the banquet." What's the point of asking such a meaningless question? If it were normal, Lilith would still be willing to tease her, but her plate was quite heavy, and she just wanted to find a place to put the plate down, so she was very impatient with the two siblings.
Seeing Lilith acting so nonchalant in High Garden, Angel became even angrier, with alarm bells ringing in her heart. Was the Taylor family going to re-enter the aristocratic social circle of the royal capital?
At the same time, he sneered at Lilith with disdain, "You pretend to be disdainful of the nobles all day long, while trying your best to squeeze in. Aren't you ashamed, Lilith?"
"No, I'm naturally thick-skinned." Lilith looked around absentmindedly, looking for a deserted place suitable for eating. After she spotted her destination, she decisively raised her foot to leave.
"You -! How could the princess always be deceived by such despicable means of yours?" An Qi hated her look the most and stood in front of her.
"Tsk, Angie..." Lilith stopped impatiently, "I have never deceived Catherine."
"Have you ever thought that the reason she is always willing to associate with me is because of you, your good brother, and your Russell family—"
She took a step forward and whispered in Anqi's ear, "Too weak."
Anqi and Daniel's faces turned extremely ugly at the same time.
Let you affect my eating buffet! Lilith stood up happily and turned away.
"...Don't pay attention to her, Angie. We are not here to compete with her." Daniel saw Angie's expression and subconsciously comforted her.
However, he miscalculated. Angie suddenly turned around and directed her anger at him - "What does she mean? Didn't you just go out for holiday practice with Catherine? Didn't you perform poorly?"
"I--" Daniel's eyes flashed, and he felt annoyed by Angel's questioning.
Seeing his expression, An Qi immediately understood and became even more furious, "I really don't understand why Grandfather and Father chose you!"
She turned around and left, leaving Daniel behind, to look for a familiar acquaintance.
Daniel pursed his lips, his eyes flickered with a dark light, extremely gloomy. Without Anqi's introduction, he almost became invisible and was soon forgotten in the noisy dinner.
Finally getting rid of the two annoying siblings, Lilith slipped to an empty window and looked at the flow of people outside. People were constantly being led in by waiters holding lights. The lights were almost connected into a line, and through the foggy glass, it looked like a long swaying dragon.
It was like the dragon dance she saw in her hometown during the Chinese New Year when she was a child. Lilith swallowed a mouthful of food, looked out the window, and sighed with some melancholy.
A soft chuckle came from the side. Lilith turned her head and saw the twins, wearing the same dress, had been looking at her from the side and behind for who knows how long.
"Is the Yafu Valley fun, Lilith? You've lost weight." Neva walked over first, leaned on the windowsill, and looked at her with a smile.
"Well, because meals are never smooth." The wonderful time alone was interrupted again. Lilith sighed again. Why did all the brothers and sisters come together tonight? Is it a big deal that there are more of you? She had begun to hate Highgarden!
"Maybe it's just that black makes you look thinner?" Neller smiled and stood to Lilith's left, looking at her carefully. "You seem to have changed your style, Lilith, but this is not bad."
The black color makes Lilith look more fierce and unattainable, just like...
"You and the princess, if it weren't for your different hair colors, you would really look like a pair of twins." Neller exclaimed.
"It's just because I borrowed Catherine's dress. It was tailored to bring out her temperament. Isn't it normal that it looks a bit like her?" Lilith continued to eat indifferently. She is not a real twin. Who would play copy and paste like you two all day long?
"I see." Neller didn't mind Lilith's indifference and reminded her with a smile, "But if they are too similar, it won't be good."
Lilith knew that wearing the same clothes was a bit rude no matter where you were, especially since Catherine was a royal family member. She noticed it when she entered the banquet hall. Perhaps because she knew that the princess liked to wear black, none of the other young girls present wore black, so she stood out.
"But I have a solution." Neller winked at Lilith and took out a piece of green silk from his pocket.
The silk fabric was of excellent quality. As soon as it was taken out, it fell down like flowing lake water. The deep green color shone with a soft and delicate luster, as warm as jade.
"——You didn't just play a hooligan, did you?" Who would carry cloth with them?! Could it be a token of love from some noble lady?
"That's not important, Lilith." Neller's fingers flew, and in a short while he folded one end of the silk into a beautiful flower. He looked at it himself, very satisfied, and showed it to Lilith.
"This green color goes well with your black dress, doesn't it?" He leaned over and passed the ribbon over Lilith's head, wrapped it around her waist, and then gently tightened it to help her tie a beautiful knot.
The originally solemn black dress instantly became more lively with the addition of a touch of green at the waist.
...Perhaps Neller should be a tailor. Lilith looked down at her waist and couldn't help but sigh secretly. She raised her head and was about to say thank you, but she felt the gaze from the side and turned her head to look -
An Qi's face looked even uglier than when she was ridiculed by herself just now, and her eyes were like knives stabbing at herself.
She tightened her waist, turned around, looked at Nerer who lowered his head and carefully adjusted the silk ribbon for her, and the other corner of his lips raised, and finally she realized.
"You dog-"
