Book 19: Chapter 50
“Wow…”
Nona sprawled out on top of the table. Vera showed no mercy. Vera grabbed Nona by her neck and pulled her up. Vera sternly ordered, “Get your act together. We’re at a national banquet. How can you be so slovenly? This has to do with our father’s reputation! How can you embarrass him?!”
“You’re right… Still, I’m so tired.”
“I agree.”
Daisy massaged her shoulders. She found having to wear such revealing formal clothing frustrating. Daisy wasn’t used to formal occasions. To be fair, none of them, except Vera, were. Daisy was just imitating and learning as she went, but she was genuinely exhausted after the long day. She was very envious of Miss Vera, who was akin to a blue rose in bloom, in the crowd. Daisy let out a soft sigh: “Where’s Liu Yue?”
The three of them looked around the circular table, only to discover. Liu Yue, who was always by their sides, was missing. Vera scanned the crowd: “I just saw her before… She was enjoying herself. Where has she run off to? Did she go to the restroom?”
Ying calmly spoke up from behind: “Going to the restroom at this national banquet is impolite. The people of this nation seem to consider patience and resisting urges to be a virtue, which is why nobody will go to the restroom. I suggest you do not drink too much; otherwise, we might not be able to handle this sort of banquet we are not used to.”
Vera’s admiration for Ying soared. She never dealt with the particular rule before when she attended banquets in the elven lands, humanity’s empire or the North. The three of them placed their cups down in unison and didn’t drink again.
“Do you know where Liu Yue went?”
