Everly landed lightly like a bird's feather, the mansion wasn't that far, not to ntion that Everly is quite fast, enough to compete with racing horses and actually win with no much effort.
It could be because they were busy having fun here and there, no one noticed Everly appearing out of nowhere. The joyful cheers, the lively chatters, the sounds of fireworks, and the loud waves of laughter. All blended together in her ears, caused her heart to squeeze a bit.
Everly wandered through the streets, 6 out of 10 people were wearing strange customs. She rembered that Henry Raj told her about how they are dressing like ghosts and monsters. ntioning Henry Raj, the poor guy was held captive by Lennox, the latter commanded him to hold a glass of water. If a drop fell from it he is as good as dead, and to be honest, a direct threat from Lennox is in another level of danger, than failing to follow the orders of the Emperor.
Everly walked for a while when suddenly soone called from behind.
"Excuse ! the girl with the sword ".
The one who called was a kid with a ssy hairstyle and a green gashed shirt. While the green kid was catching his breath, two kids in bizarre attire also arrived. One with a black dress and a big strange hat, the other in a long coat and two paper horns at the top of his head.
The green boy was blushing to the extent that his ears looked like two cherries.
He said in an Ambivalent tone: "emm.... do you..... do you mind telling your na?".
Everly stared at him with confusion and said nothing. when the green boy noticed her expression he quickly explained:" it's just that it's the first ti I see you around, I really do not an harm".
The girl in black smacked the green boy on the head, she said scolding him:" you idiot. You should first introduce yourself, before asking other people's nas ".
The girl stood next to the boy, she said lively:" it's nice to et, I am Della. This idiot here is Hugo, and the one behind is Clarence".
Everly greeted them with a nod, she softly said:" nice to et you too, I am Everly ".
Hugo blushed, even more, he could not say anything unless he stuttered. And before he would say anything embarrassing, Clarence quickly asked:" you are not from here Everly, are you? ".
Everly shook her head: "no I am not, I ca here with a friend ".
She had just finished speaking when Della suddenly cried:" waah, are these Red velvet cakes ?!!".
Hearing Della, both of the boys poked their heads in the basket Everly was carrying. They looked like three cats staring at a golden fish in its fishbowl. Everly sohow felt that they are not having any ill intentions, thus she offered them to have so of the cakes and sweets.
Della:" is it really fine? Won't your family be upset?".
Everly shook her head a couple of tis, she said smiling:" it's okay, they are mine".
Seeing Everlys' delightful smile, Hugo could no more bear it. Taken by the mont, he shouted: "miss angel, would you please go out with !!!!!".
Now that he had brought sha on them, Della hit him hard on the head. Hugo even saw so stars floating around him. Yet, Everly -with her current IQ- could not understand what he ant, she just tilted her head with a puzzled expression. Della desperately tried to cover for her friend's stupid acts.
Della: "haha.... forget about him. And tell , Everly, where did you get these delicious cakes from?".
Everly pointed in the direction of the Alphonsus mansion, saying:" from the big house there".
By the mont they realized where Everly was pointing at, their faces stiffened instantly.
"You went to the Earl Alphonsus mansion?!!".
Both Della and Clarence almost dropped their jaws, while Hugo still feeling dizzy and couldn't cope with the conversation. Della began flipping Everly's head, checking her out.
She said worriedly, rather surprised:" and you are okay, did you get hurt sowhere?".
Everly: "is that wrong?".
Clarence:" it's not like that..... we heard that the crown prince is visiting the Alphonsus. And truly, wherever he goes soone will die".
Della irritated:" hmph if soone is going to die, I hope it will be that Ade-sothing, she deserves to be burned alive ".
Everly: "why? Is she a bad person?".
Clarence:" mom says she is a bitch ".
Everly said scolding: "hey, that's a bad word".
Clarence:" it can't be helped, she is with a different guy every ti I see her. And so uncles said that they saw her in those adult places ".
Della:" it doesn't matter, both the crown prince and that woman are bad people ".
At that mont, Hugo regained his conscience. He was highly frustrated, 'cause what Della did. But again he turned all-red the mont his gaze t with Everlys' erald eyes.
Hugo bowed to Everly 90, he said loudly: "miss angel, please go out with !!".
The reason why he kept calling her 'angel' was obviously because he saw her when she first arrived in the city. He told his friends that he fell in love with a beautiful angel in white (Everly wore the imperial knight's uniform, which is mostly white). Surely they did not believe him, but when he saw her again wandering around, Hugo chased her to confess his feelings. And to prevent him from doing sothing he will 100% regret after few years, his very good friends decided to follow him and protect his dignity.
I an, you shouldn't confess to soone you didn't even et, let alone that person being fishy and fell from the sky.
This ti it was Clarence who interfered, he punched Hugo in the face, that he wouldn't speak anymore, however, Hugo kept talking, saying:" I will treat you right".
Why is he so persistent!
Clarence punched him again hardly and he passed out.
"Go where?" Everly asked.
The first ti, Everly couldn't understand anything. But this ti she grabbed a piece of the puzzle, now these good friends gotta forcefully fit this piece sowhere.
Della: "go.... go with us!! You know, to collect candies and sweets from the neighborhood".
Della forced a smile on her face while praying to god that this loosey lie will play on her. Luckily, Everly is one hell of a stupid zombie, she started sparkling and nodding continuously.
But suddenly her movents ca to a halt, she hesitated before she said:" do you mind if I bring a friend along?".
Della:" of course not, the more the rrier. We will need to take care of this brainless Hugo, so why don't you get your friend then we will et here after an hour?".
Everly smiled serenely, and bid them farewell.
