Chapter 172: Looking forward to things I couldn’t do before
The fire was still alive and colorful, and it felt like the night only get brighter.
Natha led me to a big tent across the stage, where a cluster of seating areas had been arranged. It seemed to be done so to accommodate those who would like to talk to Natha.
And just like that, the moment Natha appeared, he was surrounded by the merchants and visitors that had been wanting to talk to him since our shopping date. Meanwhile, I found myself being pulled by familiar arms.
"Oh!" Arta exclaimed when she saw me, raising my arms and twirling me around as if I was wearing a ball gown or something when all I did was put on the traveling merchant’s colorful tunic and poncho.
Although, since it was loose, the fabric did move nicely around my length as I was being twirled around.
"Young Master is lovely in any clothes," she said while squeezing my cheeks.
"Don’t coddle me," I pursed my lips in protest. These days, I felt like they had been spoiling me too much; letting me eat whatever, letting me do whatever, praising me for nothing...I’m going to get spoiled at this rate, thinking it was alright for me to do anything.
What if I ended up getting careless again?
"No, Sir has a lovely face, so everything looks good," one of the performers chimed in. She either knew Arta before, or they had become besties in the span of a few hours.
"That’s right, that’s right!"
"Don’t make me blush!" I pursed my lips and ran to hide behind Natha, who was coincidentally in the middle of talking to visitors from the realm of nature.
