Perfect. It wasnt written in the book, butIt just so happened that Yuliana was feeling anxious about only having a strand of Ceciles hair for the spell, but now shed gotten her hands on one more of the empresss items. Since shed clearly witnessed Cecile happily hugging the doll, it would surely act as a good dium for the spell she was preparing. Surely it cant hurt to add one more dium.
Continuous booms resounded in the sky far from the rat-occupied alleyway in which Yuliana stood. Taking out the paper with the spell inscribed on it, Yuliana smirked to herself. The ti to use it would soon co. Everything would end when the last firework exploded.

Ack! Helplessly being swept along by the crowd, Tania ramd face-first into the back of the person in front of her.
Who Oh, dear . My lady, are you alright? the man asked, looking back inquiringly.
Tania couldnt contain her smile, as she inwardly squealed,My lady, he says!How long had it been since shed heard such a beautiful address? Feeling pleased at being called my lady, she was all smiles.
Its very crowded. Is your companion not here?
Oh, I ca to play alone.
But how could that be? I never thought such a beautiful person wouldve co alone, the man asked in surprise.
Tania blushed even though she knew it was just polite flattery. There was no reason to feel displeased by complints after all. It was refreshing.What did Girgantia say every day again? He always rattled on about being a pumpkin or whatnot, but
Since Girgantia was the one she spent her ti with lately, she couldnt help but recall all the childish insults theyd thrown at each other during their usual fights. She really wished she could boast this mont in front of him and say, Look! This is the sort of treatnt I get when I go outside! Just rembering it was enough to make her gnash her teeth.
I apologize for being so sudden, but if it is okay with you, would you like to enjoy the festival together? I happen to be alone myself, you see. I ca to Aluna with a friend but ended up losing him.
? Still, shouldnt you find your friend
Actually, before we separated, he was excited about having found soone he could relate with. If youre alright with it, itd be my pleasure to accompany you to a restaurant I know well. The man winked playfully and added, Please give the honor of escorting you, my lady.
Wow. So sothing like this really does happen,Tania gulped. A chance eting with a man in a crowd at a festival? And getting courteously invited to be escorted to a restaurant by that man? Since this mans friend seems to have already t soone nice at the festival, there was nothing holding her back from accepting his invitation. Tightly clenching her fists, she thought,This can work.
Seeing her balled fists, the man coughed dryly and said, If you feel uncomfortable
O-oh no! Tania shook her head.
As the saying goes: seize the opportunity when it cos. Tania quickly sized up the man in front of herwhile not classically handso, his looks werent bad though, perhaps he was a little cheesy-looking. Then again, she was by no ans searching for the perfect man, so she didnt want to nitpick.
Then, I shall gladly guide you to a place I know well. Let us go.
Tania took the arm the man offered, failing to notice how he was intently peering at her bag and the purse protruding slightly from it.

Isnt she stupid? Girgantia muttered, watching Tania follow the man. Anyone can see that hes
That man was undoubtedly a solicitor, or what they called a tout! Girgantia disliked him the instant Tania began talking to him. In particular, the dragon was dumbfounded to see her smile so gently. Shed never shown him such a smile. Not even once!
How is it that shes even more ignorant than I am, when she acts mighty clever around ? If she was only half as kind to Girgantia trailed off as he caught himself. Why would it matter if Tania treated him kindly? But for so strange reason, he felt hed like to be treated that way by her.
