Chapter 86: Coming Of Age Ceremony [2]
Mirian, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying the attention, laughing and chatting with the women as if she’d known them all her life.
She looked like sunshine in her yellow silk gown, adorned with delicate embroidery and tiny, sparkling gemstones that caught the light as she moved her body to grab a fruit. Her long, chestnut hair was tied back with a matching yellow ribbon, and her bright hazel eyes shone like stars in her beaming face.
Her makeup was minimal, with just a light touch of color on her lips and a subtle dusting of powder on her skin, allowing her natural radiance to shine through. A delicate sprinkle of freckles across the bridge of her nose added a playful touch to her features, and her bright, cheerful smile could light up an entire room.
As she reached for the fruit, her yellow gown fluttered around her, making her look like a bright ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. The women couldn’t help but be charmed by Mirian’s warm and bubbly personality, and they fawned over her with affection, making her giggle with delight.
She looked like a cute little, spoiled princess in her finery. The village women oohed and ahhed over Mirian’s appearance, and even Kira cracked a smile, despite her initial reservations.
Finally, a group of women approached Reana. They smiled warmly at her, their eyes shining with kindness, and began to gently but firmly guide her towards a nearby chair. "It’s your turn, Luna," one of them said, her voice soft and soothing. "Let us help you get ready for the ceremony."
Reana felt a surge of hesitation, but upon thinking of that certain servant, who’d been ignoring her since yesterday, she steeled herself and nodded curtly.
She couldn’t wait to make him stare dazely at her. To walk up to her and whisper... sweet nothings in her ear, his eyes locked on hers with a burning intensity that made her skin prickle with anticipation.
Reana’s heart skipped a beat at the mere thought of it, and she couldn’t help but smile a little...then, she caught herself and her face turned cold once more, her heart bubbling with fury. How could she be thinking of that impertinent servant?
