Wizard of the Pendulum Forest

(sixteen)

At the beginning of the banquet, a band played music, and the guests came out of the small hall that was used to tidy up before the ball, and quickly found a good partner, while Ferdinand stayed in the corner, watching Kecilia walk from the second floor After coming down, he stepped onto the dance floor hand in hand with a prince who was obviously agreed before, and danced the opening dance.

"Kesilia is such a beautiful girl—I dare say, of all the girls present, she is the most beautiful." Ferdinand spoke vaguely, holding a plate full of food in his hand, There's not even room to spare in the mouth.

Frazi standing next to him was only holding a cup, the bottom of which was filled with a thin layer of liquor, which gave off a misty luster under the bright lights of the hall, "If she can be happier, she will be more beautiful "Fraz said casually, his eyes fell on the wizard's face that was shining brightly under the light, "do you want to dance? How about I dance with you?"

"No, no, no!" Unexpectedly, the young wizard's reaction was more violent, "I don't dance, dancing is not something a wizard should know! If you want to dance, please hurry up, there are so many lovely ladies here , why don't you ask them to dance?"

"My dear master is not as good-looking. Why do I need to invite them?" The handsome gentleman put his hands in his pockets, half-closed his eyes, and sipped the wine in his glass, but he didn't get any response. He turned around. At that time, the wizard held the plate in one hand, stretched his neck, stretched his upper body to reach the food at the bottom of the buffet table, and didn't seem to hear what he was saying.

All right.Frazi sighed regretfully, and stepped forward to help his little master.

……

Kecilia stopped lightly, ending the dance.She declined the other party's invitation for another dance, walked out of the dance floor alone, and filled her stomach with some small snacks that would not mess up her makeup at the table.

The complicated dance skirt was unbearably heavy, and the waist was so tight that it was almost breathless... Kecilia bowed her head gracefully, and ate slowly.

She looked around unconsciously, the guests were talking softly, exchanging cups, different scents of perfume and food were mixed together, and there were many figures, each holding their poses under the bright light, showing standard smiles.The band replaced the fast-paced dance music with a soothing serenade, and the music played everywhere, putting an intangible mist on everyone's face.

"No, thank you, I'm a little tired." Kecilia smiled and refused the invitation of another person, and suddenly a girl came in, Kexilia restrained her urge to cover her nose.

"Little Kecilia, why are you staying in this dark corner? Go back and dance, you are the protagonist today..." A lady walked towards her slowly. The jewel-embellished skirt looked downright expensive.

"Aunt Liz." Seeing that she couldn't hide, Kexilia had no choice but to turn around and salute.

Whether it was the feather decoration on the opponent's head, the feather fan in his hand, or the strong smell of perfume on his body, the little princess was extremely uncomfortable, so she pretended to go to the side to get a drink and quietly took a step back, "Aunt Liz too, have fun .”

"Speaking of which, little Kexilia has grown up, do you have someone you like... Come on, tell Aunt Liz, I will help you in a good way." The lady was a little bit reluctant, her charming ending quietly Into the soft music.

"If there is really a good way, Aunt Liz should use it herself. You are not too young, it's time to find someone to accompany you." Kexilia's voice was crisp, and she took the opportunity to stuff the wine in her hand into the lady's hand, "It's a bit stuffy in there, I'll go outside for some air—so excuse me, Aunt Liz."

As soon as the words fell, Kexilia bowed decisively, and left the castle hall regardless of the lady behind her who hesitated to speak.

When she opened the side door of the castle hall, she glanced back, and just in time saw the wizard drinking juice from a cup, while the gentleman brought by her old friend was holding a cup in his left hand and a plate of baked pastries in his right hand, looking down. Unclear expression.

It seemed that her old friend had a good meal. Fortunately, she had ordered some dishes from the kitchen before... Kexilia raised her eyebrows triumphantly, and sneaked out after seeing that no one was paying attention to her.

A door separated the two worlds, Kecilia took a deep breath, and carefully exhaled a bit of distressed air from her chest.When she raised her head, she found that this was the path leading to the back garden of the castle, so the little princess walked into the garden with her skirt in her hand.

The night was dark, and the half-circle moon in the sky cast delicate tulle, and the plants in the garden were covered with dew, trembling in the wind.

Dark vines hung on the shelf behind the white fence, and there were some small purple-red fruits growing on the vines. Kecilia reached for it, picked a small bunch and put it in her mouth. It was sweet and sour, and the juice was rich. Leaves light marks on hands easily.

After walking for a while, what Kexilia saw was a big tree with thick branches and luxuriant green leaves, enough to support a little girl sitting on it, happily imagining the outside world.

Kecilia pursed her lips and smiled, she thought of her innocent childhood, so she said to herself: "Okay, Kecilia, you are no longer that little girl who doesn't know anything, Kexi Leah is a capable girl, Kecilia... is a princess."

She was a little nostalgic, and wanted to climb up the tree again to reminisce about her childhood, but the complicated dress on her body made her give up: "Forget it."

"I have seen the world in the treetops, filled with wind and snow; but that is a gift of nature, which cannot be changed by shouts or shouts;

I dream of meeting elves, with transparent wings and stars shining; but unfortunately the fire is out, and the waves in my heart are hard to smooth. "

The increasingly clear struggle between the father and the House of Elders, the strife among the great nobles and the division of power, the eye-catching neighbors, and the complicated gazes at the ball...

"No more, nothing more. Use silence to dissolve the mysterious and novel world. There are no white doves passing over your fingertips, and no trembling strings. That little girl commemorates her adulthood with responsibility and restraint."

"It's just that, Her Royal Highness, she is not reconciled..."

She sighed softly, and when she was about to leave here, a slightly familiar young voice came from behind her.

"K...His Royal Highness?"
