Chapter 3110 After the Banquet
After Emilia began to think about what to do next, she gradually realized what she had done. Her face flushed under the red moon until even the tips of her ears were dyed red. Shade had not expected Emilia to be so bold. He froze there, trying to figure out what the girl was thinking.
The atmosphere suddenly changed from the charming one just now to a little awkward. When Shad's eyes caught Emilia's eyes, the stranger felt like he saw a rabbit that wanted to escape but bumped into a tree trunk.
Yes, rabbit.
"She" smiled softly. Although this joke was tasteless, Xia De also admitted that it adjusted his mood very well at the moment. At least it allowed him to speak:
"Emilia, maybe you need to calm down."
Shade didn't think of doing anything else right now, and he could see that the elf was probably overwhelmed by his emotions:
"We should take it step by step."
"Yes."
Emilia squeezed out the answer from her throat, then realized that she was still holding Shad's wrist, so she let go in panic, but before Shad could take his hand back, she grabbed his hand again.
The elf girl finally mustered up her courage and thought that since she had come this far, it would be a pity to give up. She was no longer a young elf, but a grown-up girl:
"Shad, what have you done to Ajelina and Iluna?"
Her bright emerald eyes looked at Shad, and Shad knew that if he was willing to put in some sweet words, he could make Emilia know what a real adult was right here on the deck, but outsiders would always prefer girls to think carefully before making such a decision.
【You like to be passive. 】
"Do not."
While answering in his mind, Shade pulled his hand away from Emilia’s.
"Maybe closer than you, but not much. Emilia, I don't think you need to compare yourself with others."
“This is not a comparison, this is”
The winter night wind finally calmed her down a little. She figured out what she was hinting at. The elf girl had the urge to cover her face and run away:
"It's not my fault. You're an amazing kisser!"
Miraculously, the atmosphere that had just turned from charming to awkward actually recovered after this sentence. Xia De laughed and stretched out his hand to hug her. Emilia blushed and did not object. She just felt that what happened tonight was more like a dream than last night:
"Shadow, please don't let go of my hand."
"Yes, now that I have caught you I will not let you go."
"Then can we continue kissing? The dance will probably last for a while."
The elf girl invited him again, and the stranger naturally would not refuse. Compared with human girls, the elf girl's kiss was a little immature, but bold and unrestrained. The most daring thing was that Emilia invited Shade's right hand again - in this way, she proved that her future self was definitely not comparable to the little princess's poor figure.
Shad returned to the ballroom before the party started, and the girls tacitly agreed not to discuss his "disappearance". However, Emilia's wish to dance the first dance with Shad was not fulfilled, because she did not go back with Shad, but went back to the room with a red face to change a skirt.
By the time she showed up in the ballroom, Shad was already doing a trio dance with Megan and Audrey—his fourth dance.
"Who did Shad have his first dance with, was it Luvia?"
The elf came back in a hurry and asked his two friends. He blushed a little when he found that they were examining his new clothes, but he didn't intend to explain.
Iluna held up her wine glass and answered:
"Originally everyone wanted to wait for you to come back, but Shad said you might need some time. He wanted to invite Luvia to dance the opening dance so that everyone would be okay with it, but Luvia smiled and refused."
Ajelina guessed what might have happened between the elf and Shade after he left, and told her the answer:
"So Shad danced the opening dance with Miss Elizabeth, the owner of this ship, and then Sister Dorothy, and then Aunt Carina. I think Shad probably won't have time in the short term, Iluna, Emilia, is there anyone willing to dance with me? This is a dance party, we can't just stand here forever, right?"
Although Shad was the only man at the party, the girls also had fun. In addition to dancing with friends or strangers, Shad noticed that Miss Bell was organizing a Rhodes card game in the corner of the banquet hall, and Flora was standing by the window with Dorothy, talking quietly to each other away from everyone.
The girls who love music joined the band to perform together. Vanessa had nothing to do, so she set up a sand table and played a war game with Megan.
The little unicorn ran around the wall with Little Mia, and Shad thought that the cat had exercised more tonight than it had in the entire winter. Of course, if he looked carefully enough, he would find that most of the time it was the cat that was chasing Little Lianna.
Everyone had a great time at the celebration party after the end of the war, but Shad had thought that he would get a lot of hints at the party - invitations to spend a good night together tonight, but the fact was that he did not get the expected little notes or winking hints after scratching his palms while dancing.
The clock in the corner of the banquet hall struck twelve o'clock on time, and the people who had been playing all night gradually dispersed. Tifa and Matilda led the maids to clean up the "remnants" after the banquet and arranged for people to prepare breakfast tomorrow morning. The witches left the banquet hall in twos and threes, and said good night to each other before returning to their rooms.
Of course, although Carina said goodbye to Xiwei and said she was going back to have a good sleep, she actually changed into pajamas and quietly slipped into Xiade's room.
Shade usually didn't lock the door, so the red-haired witch pushed the door open and walked in sideways. There was no light in the room, but she heard the cat's meow. After rushing into the bedroom with a little excitement, she found that although Little Mia was indeed there, she was standing on the desk in the bedroom, calling to Vanessa and Dorothy who appeared here.
"You're late. Shade hasn't come back yet."
In the unlit bedroom, the writer stood by the window looking at the night view outside, while Vanessa, who was sitting at the desk, waved to Carina.
Dorothy turned and said:
"Aunt, Shad asked Dorothy to send Little Mia back, and then he got off the boat. I don't know who invited him, so I want to wait here and see who doesn't come."
"That's a great idea. How about we hide in the closet and behind the curtains?"
“Isn’t this necessary?”
So three minutes later, they welcomed Megan with brisk footsteps. Carina, who was hiding behind the door, scared Megan. After waiting for a while, the red butterflies flew in directly through the wall. Even Grace and Helen were slightly frightened by the five pairs of eyes looking at them in the dark room:
"Is the sir not here? Who else hasn't shown up yet?"
"Luvia."
As soon as Megan finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. This was the first time someone knocked on the door tonight. So everyone in the bedroom went to the living room to open the door. Even Mia followed them. After opening the door, they found Luvia holding a pillow and wearing a purple nightgown.
Purple eyes swept across the women in the room:
"What are you doing with so many people? Did Shade invite all of you?"
The fortune teller was a little surprised, but when she entered the room and found that Xia De was not there, she immediately understood:
"Shad was invited by someone else, right?"
"But everyone here, didn't they go to Tifa's place?"
The Duchess's expression immediately turned ugly, but Luvia denied her guess:
"I just saw Tifa busy in the banquet hall."
"Could it be Emilia? I think that girl is very excited tonight."
Dorothy guessed.
"Or is it Ajelina?"
Leisia thought of her sister.
"Perhaps the sir is visiting Sister Diefflin."
The Red Butterfly sisters guessed this.
"Why not one of our sisters? Maybe Sylvia."
This is Megan's guess, but Vanessa has a different opinion:
"That girl is too young. I guess it's Xiwei. She's the second person to know Xia De. It's time for her to take action."
Then everyone looked at Luvia, who took out the fortune-telling cards from her pocket. When others asked her why she came to see Shade with all these, she quickly pulled one out, and a gleam of light flashed in her purple eyes:
"No need to guess, it's the Red Moon. But why is it Miss Danister?"
The girls had different expressions, no one expected this result. Seeing that everyone was somewhat dissatisfied, Luvia decided to take advantage of everyone's announcement to make another announcement:
"Speaking of which, didn't Shade say that Miss Orlanod's promotion to demigod was 'the same as Vanessa's situation'? He discussed the details with me, and I think you are eager to know what happened. Want to have a pajama party? We can take this opportunity to talk about it."
Luvia's divination was correct, Shad was indeed with Miss Danister. After the banquet, he changed his clothes and got off the boat. He originally thought that the red-haired girl was waiting for him in the forest under the boat, but when he arrived there, he didn't see anyone.
After searching carefully nearby, he found a trail of footprints extending into the distance. However, Miss Danister did not walk far. One mile away from the ship, Shade saw the girl standing on the branch of a bare tree admiring the moon.
"I am coming!"
Xia De waved his hand upwards and wanted to jump up, but the red-haired girl jumped down before he could do so. She changed out of the dress she had just worn to the banquet and now wore an ordinary red long skirt with an avant-garde corset inlaid with small metal rings that highlighted her figure. When she jumped down, the hem of her skirt was blown up by the wind, like a rose blooming on the snow.
