Chapter 240 Melissa's New Look
The Backlund smog event is completely over.
After discussions with his cabinet members, King George III decided to allocate a special fund to help ordinary people whose health and property were harmed by the smog.
This money was directly allocated to the three major churches.
Therefore, the ordinary clergy who took off their clothes to support the march were not reprimanded by the church much. The church simply assigned these impulsive young people more work. At this time, all the almshouses were also in operation, carrying out work to comfort and help believers.
Even though some unpleasant things happened in Backlund, the New Year's Eve party still couldn't be stopped.
Wearing a formal dress, Chael followed her nominal mother, Mrs. Maynard, into the ballroom and found a suitable viewing spot.
Watching the Queen lead Audrey Hall by the hand, step by step, up to the platform, introducing this newly adult noblewoman to all the guests attending the party.
"Although this is a 'rainy day' in Backlund, we have enough experience to deal with such weather, and we also have a gem that can illuminate the whole city. Her beauty, her wisdom, her character, and her manners are all impeccable."
"I formally introduce her to you, Miss Audrey Hall."
The earth goddess smiles as she watches the pearls around her.
Xia Er joined the others in giving a friendly clapping.
The sound of fireworks exploding outside the window seemed to dispel the gloom that shrouded the city, bringing some color to the New Year.
He glanced at Audrey's earrings, the dazzling necklace around her neck, and the other shimmering jewelry, and had to admit that she was indeed a gem monster.
"Is she really that pretty?"
Hazel, who had sneaked over, noticed that Chael's attention was all on Audrey. She couldn't help but complain and feel a little jealous. Although she was very unwilling, she was indeed not as dazzling as Audrey.
"Beauty is a relative concept."
"But she is definitely the star of the night."
Xia Er took Hazel's hand and casually remarked as she watched Miss Hall begin to dance in the ballroom on the dance floor.
Who could blame Audrey for having just arrived at a social occasion to celebrate her coming of age?
"Let go."
Heyle blushed slightly, stopped paying attention to Audrey, and symbolically struggled for a moment.
"What do you think of the moonlight tonight?"
Xia Er lowered her head and smiled faintly, her eyes like smoke rising from the blue sea, and asked an unrelated question.
"She's...very gentle."
Hazel felt her heart beating a little fast. She tilted her head slightly and tried to remain calm as she spoke.
Indeed, people's joys and sorrows are not shared.
It's the same New Year, but perhaps Moretti's family in Tingen is setting out three dinner plates.
Although I cannot see it.
"Let's go dancing."
Chael led Hazel onto the dance floor, mingling in the nobles' New Year's Eve party and experiencing its vibrant and lively atmosphere.
It's a new year, and everyone is trying their best to live.
1350, Monday, December 1st.
Xia Er got out of bed, feeling that since he hadn't taken advantage of Dunn's misfortune, his morality had finally improved a little.
If he really intended to poach someone, he would have probably gone to the neighbor's field a couple of days ago, taking advantage of the New Year atmosphere, to help with some farm work, hoeing the ground and loosening the soil.
"Although red tape is meaningless, it's still good to pay a little attention to it."
Shael glanced at Megalos, who was clinging to her like an octopus. Megalos opened its eyes, its golden hair falling down.
She reached out her fair arm to help him straighten his clothes, but was stopped by Xia Er.
"Nothing much to do today, I can sleep in a little longer."
Xia Er gently patted Megalos's head. Megalos squinted his eyes in enjoyment, then crawled back into the blankets to cover his smooth, white skin.
Today, Mr. Fool is setting sail to become his legendary "bounty hunter." Xia Er recalled the map at sea and felt that there was nothing worth paying attention to along the way.
Aside from the possibility that Bansi might be a little dangerous, most people wouldn't encounter that kind of danger.
He didn't stay in bed; his main purpose was to greet his mysterious sister, Miss Melissa, who was about to arrive in Backlund.
At the steam train station.
Klein, who was also wearing a different "suit," watched his brother and sister being picked up by Shael, his breathing slightly disordered.
This young gentleman with neat black hair and dark brown eyes now wants to ask Leonard to keep an eye on his sister. Benson is the same; he's just arrived in Backlund for the first time, how come he was taken away so easily?
Even if Chael is wearing a priest's robe, it won't work!
For a moment, Klein didn't really want to go out to sea anymore.
the other side.
Xia Er explained some of the benefits of the Church of the Night to Benson.
The church also provides some good accommodations for the families of the fallen.
He didn't mention his classmate Klein, which would have been somewhat hurtful, and only said that he was a friend of Selena Wood, even though both of them knew his identity.
Chael led the two to St. Samuel Cathedral for a brief tour, and then took them to see a rental house on Pesfield Street, a small house suitable for two or three people.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Maynard."
Benson thanked Shael.
The owner of the house was a priest from the Church of the Night, and Benson knew very well how lucky he was to have found a reliable landlord.
Melissa also politely thanked them, just like her brother.
"If you want to thank me, you might as well just praise the goddess."
Xia Er smiled.
"I apologize for being so presumptuous, but may I be so rude?"
He showed Benson and Melissa the white gloves he was wearing.
"Of course, sir."
Benson was puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it. Although he was quite vigilant, he wasn't so suspicious of everything he saw.
"In that case, thank you very much."
Without any hesitation, Xia Er immediately began to "touch" Melissa, transforming her rather ordinary hairstyle into a cute and fashionable "sister bob" that one might see in anime.
Melissa was clearly a little uncomfortable with the situation, but she wasn't overly afraid, after all, Chael was wearing gloves and maintaining a proper distance, and was only fixing her hair.
She glanced at Benson, who shook his head slightly, clearly still holding a certain degree of trust in Chael after their trip to St. Samuel's Cathedral.
"This hairstyle suits Backlund much better."
After adjusting herself, Xia Er handed a small makeup mirror to Melissa, then looked at Benson and gave him a look, waiting for the guy's evaluation.
Although it's a bit flashy...
"It is indeed cuter."
Benson, of course, approved of his sister's new look.
