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.
