Abigail in the audience listened to the scattered comments and let out a breath.
Maybe it was just that the leading actor was not in the right state before.
Isn't this acting skills?
It should function normally next time.
The gray girl got on the card house carriage with tears in her eyes and said goodbye to the cat fairy.
The bell of the Governor's Mansion could be heard from afar. The projection screen behind the stage announced that the ball was about to begin. The carriage sped away. The Cat Immortal watched the gray girl go away and smiled with relief.
The stage lights dimmed and the Cat Fairy left the stage.
When the stage lights up again.
The walls are dotted with reliefs and murals in the style of the Age of Gods, recreating the epic of the dance between humans and gods in the Cretan mythology.
The gorgeous floor-to-ceiling mirror is so bright that you can reflect yourself, and the clinking of glasses and the clanging of goblets in the room weave together a luxurious melody of sound and light.
The magnificent palace hall was brightly lit, with singing and dancing.
The life is extravagant and the fragrance is charming.
Noble girls and ladies gathered together, vying for beauty.
The noise and laughter came like a tide, never stopping.
Even without a spotlight, people's attention was quickly drawn to a figure.
The black-haired demon governor was wearing a jade-colored tuxedo, with a gloomy look in his eyes, and he had little interest in the dance.
"Mr. Governor, there are so many beauties here today, you have to cheer up. No matter which one you choose, we will bless you!"
"Yes, Mr. Governor, go dance with the girl you like, maybe she will fall in love with you at first sight."
The provincial ministers and dignitaries nearby were still trying to curry favor with the governor sent from the demon world.
To some extent, the governor's status is higher than any of them. If they offend him, it will undoubtedly be an extremely serious diplomatic incident.
But if you gain his appreciation, it will become an invaluable support.
The Governor nodded in response, reluctantly stood up, and wandered among the crowd.
It seemed that he did this to deal with those overly attentive nobles, or he simply wanted to relax.
"I came to the human kingdom to escape the marriage arranged by my family. I don't want to marry a half-demon whom I have never even met. How could I possibly fall in love with a human woman here? It's ridiculous."
The Demon Chief recited his own monologue and sighed lazily.
After his unremitting efforts, Lanqi finally memorized the lines roughly, thanks to his good mentality and administrative ability in handling official documents for a long time.
The character of this demon governor is probably a demon nobleman who is full of career. Now he just wants to be a good governor, but in order to deal with the family in the demon world, he must show enthusiasm for socializing in human society.
Suddenly, a gray-haired figure appeared in the Governor's sight.
People at the party kept coming and going, and everyone kept their eyes on the Governor.
At this time, the Governor was just staring blankly at the mysterious beauty whose face was vaguely visible in the distance through the crowd.
The dessert tower on the banquet table was decorated with cheese and coconut crisps dotted with gold foil, the crystal dark chocolate was cut into geometric shapes, the soufflé baked with fruit wine was shining, and it was placed on ice made from the purest mineral spring, a piece of which would be taken away from time to time.
She was eating her snack by herself.
It seemed that the party made her very uneasy, and only eating something could make her feel better.
"How could there be such a pure girl who is so indifferent to power and interests at this banquet and only cares about enjoying the food..."
the Governor murmured.
To be honest, he couldn't pronounce this line normally.
Fortunately he held his nerve.
Talia had just not had dinner, and these pastries were sweet and delicious. The wealthy Brillda Opera House even used the most high-end custom-made desserts for the desserts at the banquet. As Talia ate, a happy smile appeared on the corners of her mouth, and she gradually forgot that this was a stage.
Following the Governor's line of sight, all the guests present looked at the gray-haired girl from time to time.
"Oh my god, who is this girl? She has such a stunning beauty."
The provincial ministers were amazed.
"That's right. There is such a beautiful girl in the world. No wonder the governor is fascinated by her. She is really beautiful. Whose daughter is she?"
Another minister who had followed came over and asked.
"Humph, she must be a princess from some principality, otherwise why would she dress herself up so beautifully."
The noble lady turned aside jealously and whispered beneath her folding fan.
However, the scene changed.
Talia was unmoved.
"Tata, stop eating. It's your turn now."
Lanqi reminded Talia in his heart.
"!"
Talia reacted with a start, realizing the gazes of everyone at the party.
She looked at the half piece of cake in her hand and quickly stuffed it into her mouth before turning around and looking at the governor with a sweet smile.
The moment their eyes met, time slowed down.
It seemed like this was not the first time they met, but it also seemed like they had never met such a special person before.
It was not until a while later that a smile finally appeared on the corner of the Governor's mouth.
"Interesting woman, you have successfully caught my attention."
The governor walked down the stairs, a holy and gentle light emanating from his body, and came to the side of the gray girl.
Everyone at the banquet followed the direction the Governor was heading.
And the gray girl also looked at the Governor.
"Why are you looking at me?"
Lanci asked Talia.
"You are interrupting my meal, sir."
Talia tried hard to recall the plot and composed lines that roughly fit the situation.
"Oh?"
Lanqi thought something was wrong. He remembered the original line was "Because you looked at me first, sir."
But now he can only cooperate with Talia and continue acting.
"Your answer is really interesting."
Lanqi walked towards her aggressively with a confident smile in his eyes.
However, the Governor's personality is originally a very domineering type.
Being choked by a girl like this.
On the contrary, she might arouse more interest in me.
"You, what are you coming here for?"
Talia couldn't remember her lines anyway, so she asked hastily when she saw that Lanqi had no intention of stopping.
She took half a step back until the banquet table was behind her and she had nowhere to retreat, but the governor was already standing in front of her, leaving her nowhere to escape.
"Beautiful girl, would you please do me the honor of dancing with me?"
The Governor placed one hand on the banquet table, his body almost touching hers, and spoke to her sincerely.
His movements were polite, but his eyes and attitude were firm, and he didn't seem to reject this option.
"I……"
When Talia heard Lanqi's meaningful emphasis, her heartbeat and blood pressure suddenly soared, and her chest began to rise and fall.
But she felt that... Lanqi was more domineering than usual today...
Indeed, the role of the Governor is somewhat domineering, unlike her stupid disciple who has never been a Governor.
Talia's eyes moved left and right, avoiding Lanqi's scorching gaze.
She unexpectedly felt this strong man, which made her heart beat faster.
But that’s just in the play.
In reality, even if Lanqi had ten thousand courages, he would not dare to push her against the wall.
The Governor was now waiting for Cinderella to tell him the answer in a gentle and moving manner.
Even though everyone knows the subsequent answer, they can't help but hold their breath for this youthful and exciting moment.
Cinderella was still hesitating.
"Can……"
She felt that being so close to Lanqi made her brain a mess and she could no longer remember what to say. Her only instinct was that she was very hungry. She didn't even have dinner today and followed Lanqi to the mafia's territory.
Wait, if we follow logic, the gray girl’s next line should be...!
Talia instantly thought of the following plot.
"Can you wait until I finish dinner?"
she responded.
The audience was silent.
"?"
Lanqi was stunned and stood there looking at her.
You can't reject me here, sister! !
Refusing the invitation and choosing to eat is the final scene. Now we are not that close, and this may be the only chance you have in your life to change your destiny. You can’t be thinking about eating at this time!
Lanqi shouted in his heart.
