Loran Hill sat at the dressing table and let Chelsea dress her.
At this moment, she looked a little different from before. Her hair was no longer silver, but turned golden. This was because she had taken an extraordinary potion [Rainbow Potion] (rare bronze level), a magical potion that could change hair color and skin color. This was also learned from Trinasha's records. Because witches lived for a long time, they had unknowingly accumulated a lot of knowledge about dressing up, and her eye color had also returned to its original light blue.
She was wearing a blue dress with a beautiful bow on the side of her waist. The blue dress was split below the waist, revealing the white underskirt inside, which made it look more layered. The lace on the edge of the skirt added a bit of gorgeousness and beauty.
After putting on the elaborate gown, Loran Hill pinned Trinasha's butterfly hairpin to the side. Her golden hair fell back to cover her fair neck, leaving two strands of hair in front to drape over her chest. This blue off-the-shoulder gown was the most conservative one Loran Hill had chosen from the pile of clothes. Others, such as those with a large open back and thigh-splits, were all rejected by her.
But even so, she still felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, the opening on the chest was higher and very little was exposed, so she was willing to wear it.
"Where are you from, Miss Lacy? I've never seen a girl as beautiful as you."
Chelsea asked curiously while combing Loran Hill's hair.
"I don't know either. I grew up in the forest and was raised by a teacher."
"Is that so? But I'm sure that no matter which country you go to, as long as you show up in public, there will be countless young men who will go crazy for you."
"Ugh... No way." The girl let out a low moan of distress.
"Where is Chelsea from?"
"I lived in the Green Empire when I was little, and later came to Hopeland with the fleet. After that, I was recruited by Master Angus to be a maid."
"What kind of man is Mr. Angus?"
"Master, when I first met him, he was a bit frivolous. He wasn't as wealthy as he is now. He just made a little money back then and often came to the bar to drink."
"bar?"
"Yes, I had just arrived in Verga and was working in a bar. That was also the first time I met Master Angus."
"Well, was Mr. Angus very frivolous then?"
"Haha, that's true, but he's very handsome, and the girls in the bar at that time all had a good impression of him."
"He often boasted about how smart and powerful he was. Many customers in the bar enjoyed hearing him brag, but of course some just came to see him laugh."
"Then how did he become successful?"
"Later, the master and his friend, Jelinek, the current head of the Yagtilin family, went on an adventure to the islands in the South China Sea."
"They unearthed ancient relics from an island and handed them over to the Hinayue Council in the South China Sea. The mages of the Hinayue Council gave them some money and a business license."
"Then, with this money, they bought spices from the South Sea and sold them in Verga, and they quickly became rich."
"No wonder you said the Yagtilin family is trustworthy. It turns out the current head of the family and Angus are friends who have shared weal and woe."
"Yes, back then, Jelinek was just an insignificant young member of the family. Later, he grew stronger and stronger, eventually becoming the head of the family."
Not long after Loran Hill settled into his mansion in Kempe, the Yagtilin family's invitation arrived. In the past, it wasn't so formal; a simple message would have sufficed, as Angus and Jelinek were old friends. But now that the Carites family had a new owner, everything was handled according to formal procedures.
Kempe City at night, at the Yagtilin family.
There seemed to be flowing clouds passing through the night sky, the moonlight appeared and disappeared, and the evening breeze blew, dispelling the summer heat.
Yagtilin is a large local family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. The courtyard of their home is very large. Loran Hill sat in the carriage, looking at the bluestone and iron fence. He walked a few hundred meters before reaching the gate. There were six large braziers in front of the black iron gate, illuminating the surroundings. From time to time, a carriage entered, followed by servants calling out.
"Mr. and Mrs. Gibran's family are here~"
"Master Blaze, President of the Brulin Chamber of Commerce, has arrived~"
All the local dignitaries and big businessmen dressed in fine clothes and riding fine horses were invited, and for a while the Yagtilin family became extremely lively.
As the sound of horse hooves gradually died down, the luxurious mahogany carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Yagtilin family. The two teams of riders around it also stood aside, waiting quietly.
In the light of the brazier's flames, the carriage's black flower with purple stamens was recognized by the onlookers as the emblem of the Carlites Chamber of Commerce, a rising star in recent years in Verga. The previously noisy entrance area quieted down, and the other guests behind dared not speak loudly. After all, everyone had already known the main character of this banquet before arriving: Angus's daughter, the new owner of the Carlites Chamber of Commerce.
An old butler in a black suit came to the door of the carriage, and everyone recognized him as Ceres, who had always been with Angus.
The car door decorated with glass windows was opened, and the first thing that emerged from the door was a light blue silk skirt, followed by shoes decorated with blue butterflies, and then long golden hair like the sun. Finally, the girl raised her head, revealing eyes as blue as the sky. The beautiful scene shocked everyone present like a painting of a prosperous era.
"Who is this girl?"
"......have no idea."
Some guests began to discuss in low voices.
"She must be the new owner of the Carites family, Angus's daughter."
"No way, could Angus's daughter have such a face?"
"I have never seen a being with such a face. It is simply like a dream."
"Yes, she is Angus's daughter, Miss Lacey. I heard about her from the Yagtilin family. It was they who sent the invitation."
A group of servants poured out of the courtyard and quickly laid a soft red carpet between the gate and the building. The girl with blonde hair and a blue dress stepped onto the carpet wearing blue shoes that were slightly darker than the color of her skirt. Chelsea and Ceres followed behind her. They arrived at the door of the building's lobby under the protection of six War Sequence 2 Lan Lan Riders.
"Just stay here."
"Yes, Miss."
The six Sequence 2 riders stood on either side of the gate. The gate then opened, and the girl led Ceres and Chelsea into the bustling banquet hall.
