Chapter 177: High Society Debuts Are Difficult! (7)
"My, there are so many beautiful women this year.""Indeed. Especially that pink-haired woman over there, isn't she magnificent? I hear she's a princess from the Marduk Empire. Doesn't she look like a blooming pink rose?" Salome was speaking fluently in front of people.Her voice was sometimes passionate and sometimes delicate like a wildflower.With her beautiful appearance and a somewhat dangerous aura like thorns, she quickly gained popularity among the crowd, almost becoming the star of the day.Of course, even Salome had a rival.
"I think that woman over there is also wonderful. Look at that exotic woman with black hair. Doesn't she look incredibly stunning in her dress?"
Someone pointed to a corner of the banquet hall.There was quite a crowd gathered there, and in the center was a black-haired woman in a dress, fidgeting nervously.
It was Cariote.
"......"
Cariote stumbled like a cat frozen in midwinter. People approached and spoke to her a lot, but all Cariote could say were exclamations like "I see" or "Indeed."But it couldn't be helped.Right now, Cariote was struggling in a corset and dress she had never worn in her life.
Swoosh—I pushed through the crowd.Cariote spotted me and kept trying to express something with her eyes and gestures.Probably asking for help for a moment.
"Excuse me."
I escorted Cariote like that and stepped out onto the balcony.Bang— Poppoppop—Only on the balcony, where fireworks were brilliantly exploding and decorating the sky, did Cariote finally let out a deep sigh as if exhaling her held breath.
