Chapter 399: It just Evelyn
Cedric didn’t feel like going to the banquet again. Either way, it was just going to be a boring party with nobles flattering each other.
"It is too late, I have already gone through the dress-up. Let’s get going, they are awaiting our presence." Abrielle scoffed. He was the one who insisted that they attend the banquet.
Abrielle shrugged him off. She elegantly walked away heading to the carriage. Her footsteps filled with grace, but to Cedric, it felt like she was just taunting him.
Cedric followed behind his wife, leaving Elias and Evelyn, who were dressed up for the party. There was this awkward silence at first between Elias and Evelyn.
She was a bit surprised by how good Elias looked outside of his uniform. He did have good genes coming from his noble family, genes she wasn’t lacking herself.
Evelyn was pretty and had good magic use, thanks to her useless father, whom she didn’t acknowledge. The bastard didn’t say anything when his daughter, who was barely a teenager, was sold. That day Cassandra Desper died.
Elias’s gaze lingered on Evelyn a bit longer than it should. Her dress wasn’t grand like Abrielle’s. It was a simple dress that still suited her elegantly. The dress was ash in colour, not a breathtaking colour but next to her bright blonde hair even ash looked vibrant
"I had no idea you knew how to dress up." Elias teased her. He should have said something nicer to her but he didn’t want things to be awkward between them.
. Evelyn was baffled by his statement. She released a tired sigh, then crossed her arms annoyed by his presence. Annoyed by his face. If he were uglier, it would have been to despise this man she could never beat in a fight.
