Chapter 171: Shining Like the Sun and the Moon
The house, which had not been visited for many days, was quiet and deserted, as if it had been forgotten. Fortunately, the owner of the house finally remembered the way home and drew the curtains to let fresh air flow into the house, giving it a breath of freshness.
If you look through the window, you can see a blonde girl in the bedroom, going back and forth between the closet and the terrace over and over again until the sun sets.
"How about this one?" Lilith struggled to fit herself into last year's skirt and walked over to Catherine again to ask.
"It's OK..." Catherine reluctantly nodded and said dryly, "It's just that my arm is a little bit—"
With a "swish" sound, Lilith's sleeve tore directly to her armpit.
"--a little tight." This time Catherine's answer was much more sincere.
Lilith raised her head in pain, "It turns out that the funniest part of the dress-up game is watching others dress up... I hate aristocratic socializing!! Forget it! I'd better not go--"
"Why don't you just come back with me! The royal tailors just sent me a batch of new clothes. Sometimes they make them bigger so that they can make modifications when I try them on. Maybe there's something you can wear?"
Catherine would not allow her to back down at this moment, and quickly came up with a second solution.
"Ah, it seems that this is the only way..." Lilith sighed dejectedly. It was impossible to find someone to make it for her. But when she thought about borrowing Catherine's clothes, she couldn't help laughing. "Borrowing high-end clothes, this is a treatment only female stars can have! I'm really successful."
Fortunately, Catherine was already used to Lilith's nonsense, so she didn't even ask what she meant. She came over to help her change the skirt that was tight on her body. Then Lilith packed her things and followed Catherine out.
"Tsk, it's really unpleasant to look at!" As soon as she went out, she saw her crooked mailbox. Lilith couldn't help complaining again. This was written by Bella herself. She was usually so cruel to her. It was really hateful!
"Aren't you very familiar with Mr. Suo Rong? Ask him to help you make another one." Catherine was in a hurry to return, so she walked forward and agreed casually.
"If I ask him to do such a small job, he might think I'm kidding him..." Lilith shook her head. "Forget it, let's wait until the neighbors finish renovating their houses. But if they break anything again, I'll definitely go and have a good talk with them!"
Lilith waved her fist fiercely, and followed Catherine, carefully avoiding obstacles on the ground, and walked out of the dim alley one after another.
The sound faded away and the sky finally darkened. The statue turned its head, looked at the crooked mailbox next to it, blinked guiltily, moved further to the right, looked straight ahead, and then stopped moving again.
……
The next day, at the Duke of Bishop's residence.
One after another, magnificent carriages stopped in front of the gate of the Duke's Palace. The men were dressed in luxurious suits and exquisite cloaks, while the ladies were dressed in loose and gorgeous long skirts and dazzling jeweled headdresses. They entered the banquet hall one by one, surrounded by attendants.
"...Lilith?" Duke William looked at the two girls in front of him and was rarely able to find words.
"Good evening, Your Excellency the Duke. Please allow me to extend my birthday wishes to you on behalf of Dragonfang Castle." Lilith handed over some of her own privately brewed fine wine, trying to straighten her face so as not to be embarrassed.
"...Ah, thank you very much, my dear. I have missed this taste for a long time." William took it enthusiastically, but still couldn't help but glanced up and down at Lilith, then looked at his own daughter, and smiled, trying to liven up the atmosphere.
"Oh, you two are so close. It feels like I have two beautiful daughters, shining like the sun and the moon. I really envy little Melissa..."
"It's too cold outside, father. I'll take her in first." Seeing that her father wanted to reminisce about the past again, Catherine interrupted William's chattering.
"Oh, of course, of course! Have fun, ladies." William smiled brightly and made way for the girls.
"Are they all looking at us?" As soon as she entered the hall, Lilith felt the gazes coming from all directions. She covered her face and whispered to Catherine.
Although the Bishop family's royal tailor was very helpful and did help her find a beautiful dress that would fit her well, but -
Why are all Catherine's skirts black?
"Because I like it." - That's what Catherine explained at the time.
The dress was very beautiful, with intricate patterns embroidered on black satin, layered and low-key yet luxurious, not at all ostentatious. But when Catherine, who was also wearing a black dress, stood next to her, the two of them were like, uh, like -
"——I see!" Kanienbishop got rid of the girls who were pestering him and walked in front of the two girls who were attracting constant attention from others. At this time, he looked as if he had discovered a shocking secret.
No wonder he got beaten at that time. Kanyon's eyes lit up. He had completely understood!
Lilith, a beauty lover, was first stunned by the face of the person who suddenly appeared, and then when she heard his words, her head suddenly buzzed. The thing she was most worried about finally happened!
She waved her hands hastily, trying to explain, "No, we are not--"
However, just as she waved her hand, it was held in the palm of the silver-haired young man in front of her, who gave her a gentle kiss. The bright silver hair fell down. Looking at the other person's strong and delicate nose and long flickering eyelashes, Lilith was amazed and understood who the person was.
It was a beautiful face that bore a striking resemblance to Catherine's.
"Nice to meet you, beautiful lady. I am Catherine's brother, you can call me Canyon." Canyon raised his head and introduced himself. The soft light in his eyes could make people drown in it.
Of course, except for Catherine, if looks could kill, he would have been stabbed into a honeycomb by his own sister.
"Hello, my name is Lilith, and I'm Catherine's classmate at Goletia." The face-hungry Lilith finally remembered that she should bow and salute at this moment, but Canien's hand still didn't let go, so she could only lower her head slightly with reserve.
"Have you reached the point where you guys are swapping clothes with each other? How sweet." Of course, Canyon, who lived a life of luxury every day, recognized the craftsmanship of the royal tailor at a glance, and his eyes moved between the two girls' faces with interest.
"Catherine saw that I didn't have a suitable dress, so she was kind enough to lend it to me." Lilith defended the two of them unwillingly, while signaling the unconscious Catherine to cooperate with her eyes.
Don't tolerate gossip, Princess!!!
"So that's how it is..." Kanyon dragged out the words, his beautiful silver eyes full of smiles. Seeing that Lilith's face turned red with anxiety, he laughed softly.
"Catherine's dress is not enough to show off one ten-thousandth of your beauty, Miss Lilith." Kanyon finally let go of her hand and said in a serious tone.
Catherine, who never lost her manners in public, finally couldn't help rolling her eyes.
