Chapter 1146 Dark Cinderella
The party hadn't officially started yet and the lights were bright, so Shi Li's blushing face had nowhere to hide.
Lorraine saw it clearly and raised his eyebrows in confusion.
He could never have imagined that he had already been honest with Shi Li.
Shi Li clutched her sleeves in panic, her brain racing to think of something to say to change the subject, but she saw everyone around her looking towards the door, and could faintly hear the low moans of the men present.
This reaction made Shi Li guess who had come, and she turned to look at the door.
Sure enough, Cindy, who looked brand new, walked over in a dress as bright as moonlight, attracting the attention of all the men present.
This is a very normal scene in the story.
Shi Li felt a little sad for some reason and turned to look at Lorraine.
Her eyes actually met his. He had been looking at her, but he was not attracted to Cindy like the others, nor did he feel amazed by her.
In the last second, Shi Li felt as if she had bitten a fresh lemon; in this second, she suddenly discovered that the lemon was soaked in thick honey.
Fresh and sweet.
"Don't you want to find someone to dance with? I will just step on your feet." Shi Li said with her head raised, her bright eyes like two crescent moons.
Lorraine shook his head without saying anything and handed over a plate.
There were a few delicious little cakes on it, all of which were praised by Shi Li last night.
Shi Li held the plate and couldn't help being more cheerful and lively. She took the initiative to ask Lorraine about Cindy, "That uh... princess, aren't you going to invite her to dance? She's so pretty..."
nice?
Lorraine glanced at Cindy nonchalantly.
The outfit she was wearing today was, of course, a gift from him. It was not only extremely beautiful, but also attractive to everyone.
But, not him.
The reason why Lorraine could remember Cindy was entirely because of the tiny bit of magic she possessed, nothing else.
The conversation was interrupted by the servant who came to deliver the mask.
Like yesterday, today's theme is still masquerade.
Shi Li glanced at Lorraine, took the mask and put it on nonchalantly, and then saw that Lorraine also put on a mask.
For some unknown reason, after putting on the mask, although Shi Li couldn't distinguish other people, she could clearly distinguish Lorraine from others.
The people around her started dancing, and she stood there holding her plate and wine glass, looking very out of place.
"Go to the balcony?" Lorraine spoke to her first. To be honest, she didn't want to be stepped on again.
Although Shi Li was a little wary of him, she chose the latter between staying at the party and going to the balcony to get some fresh air.
At least so far, Lorraine has no ill will towards her.
"Miss, please choose a mask." The waiter holding a tray also walked to Cindy.
She frowned, not seeing Prince Arthur made her feel a little uneasy. But no one at the whole ball was willing to talk to her, and she had no idea why Prince Arthur was not here.
Yesterday she was able to find Prince Arthur among a group of masked people with her weak magic. What should she do today?
She hesitated for too long, and the servant became impatient and started to urge her.
There was no other way, so Cindy had to pick up a mask and put it on perfunctorily. Just as she put it on, she saw Arthur walking in from outside holding the hand of a weak and beautiful girl.
She felt uneasy and anxious, and hurriedly tried to walk over, lifting her skirt, but was stopped by a man.
"Beautiful lady, can I ask you to dance with me?" The masked man didn't know who she was.
Cindy frowned and rejected the man impatiently, but when she looked up again, she could not see Prince Arthur anymore. It was obvious that he was also wearing a mask.
What to do at this time?
Sandy stood there biting her lower lip, thinking nervously.
This dance is her only chance to get rid of her stepmother and stepsister, and even take revenge on them. She absolutely cannot give up like this.
Lost in thought, Cindy didn't notice a servant passing by behind her, accidentally stepping on the hem of her skirt, causing her to stagger and almost fall.
Someone passing by supported her.
"Are you okay?" The familiar voice made Cindy raise her head suddenly and hold the other person's hand tightly.
Yes, this is Prince Arthur!
Cindy was extremely excited and regarded all this as God's arrangement. She generously gave a brilliant smile to Prince Arthur who was wearing a mask.
"Good evening, this... familiar gentleman."
Hearing Cindy's voice, Arthur probably guessed who she was, and his face immediately showed ecstasy.
All of this was seen by Lorraine as he walked towards the balcony.
Then he withdrew the magic he had cast on a servant, preventing him from stepping on other people's skirts.
