Reincarnated As The Villainess's Son

Chapter 348  Wedding By Blood [Prelude]

"Can you stop now?"

My grumbling voice echoed within a fancy room as I looked up.

"You represent Segyal Highbloods," Daina said, completely ignoring my protest while adjusting my collar.

"You need to look presentable."

"I already look good," I muttered. "You're just wasting time."

"Looking 'good' isn't enough. You need to look flawless."

I sighed, glancing at her.

She had a striking face, framed by soft blonde hair cascading down her back.

Dressed in a simple gown that clung loosely to her figure, she seemed effortlessly elegant just like a high elf.

I sighed, adjusting my stance as she continued to fuss over my attire.

Finally, she nodded in satisfaction. "Better."

I turned to the tall mirror beside us.

Dark suit with small silver lining that was faintly visible.

White hair with a subtle purple undertone tied into a low ponytail.

One blue eye, one violet, gazing back at me.

[<You look great.>]

'Thank you, my lady.'

I turned toward the door. "Let's go—"

"Wait."

Much to my annoyance, she interrupted.

She stepped forward, fingers gently braiding a small section of my hair on the left side.

She then stepped back, nodding. "I hope I can braid more of these."

"Let's go—."

"Wait."

My annoyance spiked as she interrupted me again.

She activated her bracelet, retrieving a small ring and holding it out to me.

I took it, frowning. "What's this?"

"Lady Mariam's gift," she said, looking at me. "Something that will blur your life energy from everyone's eyes."

"....."

I studied her for a moment, then sighed, slipping the ring onto my finger.

The moment it settled in place, a strange sensation washed over me—like a thin veil wrapping around my body.

Subtle, but noticeable.

I flexed my fingers. "Feels weird."

"You'll get used to it," she said, adjusting her bracelet.

I nodded.

Then, I kept staring at her.

"What?"

"You're not going to interrupt me again, right?"

She shook her head. "No."

I turned—

"Wait!"

My eye twitched. "What. Now."

"Nothing, young master," she replied with a completely straight face. "You look handsome."

"...Let's go."

'...'

Stupid woman.

I stole one last glance at my reflection before following her out the door.
