Chapter 194 Night Prince Suit And Black And White Princess
Sunday, December 24th.
Sunday was the most special day of the week, it was both the day of rest and worship day.
Believers would usually go to church on this day.
Plus, tonight was Christmas Eve, so thousands of families went to the church to pray.
Although the holy church of the kingdom was actually a hawk, this did not prevent the bottom believers from yearning for peace.
Having experienced the bloody war with the demon race, today's peace was very precious.
People's rationality had grown rapidly in the war. They could now see the so-called gods and beliefs relatively clearly, and would not blindly believe in them too much.
The reason why most of the bottom-level believers went to church was to seek peace of mind, not to truly believe in a god they had never seen before.
After all, when they were in danger, it was not a god who rescued them from suffering.
It was the heroes who went to the front line one by one and fearlessly sacrificed themselves!
...
As the most famous hero mass production base, Saint Marian Academy has actually surpassed the holy church in reverence.
It was just that the Saint Marian Academy was not open to the public, nor did it set up churches in various towns, so people had no place to visit.
But this couldn't be helped. This was life after all.
Since people couldn't get the first choice, then they could only comfort themselves with the second choice.
After all, the holy church had also produced a few heroes, right?
The battlefield holy maiden, which inherited the name of "Joan of Arc", was one of the more famous ones.
...
Amid the shrill voices of prayers, the kingdom ushered in a new day.
The same goes for Saint Marian.
Sister Kaleid picked up a coat and draped it over her shoulders after completing her daily service.
The backlog of work for the past few days was finally completed yesterday.
Starting today, she would be on vacation too - if she was lucky!
It was a pity that according to the past rules, there would be a few accidents every Christmas.
So much so that she didn't dare to drink as much as possible at the Christmas ball.
But at this year's Christmas party, she came prepared. She specially prepared a secret recipe for sobering up!
As long as a dose of sober potion went down, no matter how drunk she was, she would instantly sober up.
Although the price was double the drunkenness afterwards...
"Ah~"
She yawned, preparing to take a trip to Traveller Street in her spare time to buy a few small gifts.
Normally, she hid in the infirmary and didn't communicate much with others, but now she couldn't escape.
Teachers would often exchange gifts.
Especially the few professors who stayed in the academy.
That was, Professor Lily, Professor Cazer, and Professor Silver.
...
Speaking of those professors.
Lily was drunk again last night, lying on the sofa like a dead pig, and it was estimated that she probably wouldn't be able to get up until the afternoon.
Professor Cazer and Professor Silver were busy preparing for the Christmas ball.
Professor Silver was in charge of the specific arrangements of the ball, and Professor Cazer was using the Holy Grail to make a one-time wishing device - Christmas socks!
Professor Cazer was really pitiful if you think about it.
More than 80% of Halloween ghosts were made by him.
And he was also responsible for making thousands of socks for Christmas...
But at Saint Marian, he only received an ordinary professor's salary.
So awful!
...
Frost had emerged on the buildings in the early morning, and there were thin ice flakes on the lake.
As the temperature of the sun gradually increased and the frost thawed, the Saint Marian Academy came back to life little by little.
The students began to walk out of the tower one after another.
Dark in the Noble House dormitory was still reading "Claire's Travel Diary".
This book was surprisingly interesting.
Although Aunt Claire was different in real life, her style of writing tended to be humorous and relaxed. Every story she wrote was vivid, and every time a scenic spot was mentioned, she also included drawings. So it could be said that she had spent a lot of effort in writing the book.
The experience of reading this book felt like following her footsteps to travel many mountains and rivers.
But it was hard to imagine being able to go this far alone.
The lightheartedness and humor in the text couldn't hide her hard work.
Not to mention the danger in the deep mountains and forests, and the viciousness of bandits and thieves.
Dark suddenly felt that he shouldn't have given her the bottle of "Eight Corners". He should have just given her a whole set of makeup.
Of course Claire herself definitely liked that bottle better.
48 hours passed in the blink of an eye, Dark couldn't help wondering if Claire had arrived home.
Maybe tonight on Christmas Eve, she would light a candle on the table and share with Alvette the fiery bottle of red wine full of the blood of the battlefield!
...
Another afternoon passed.
Dark packed his bag and prepared for battle.
From the bottom of his heart, he liked this festive atmosphere overflowing with youthful breath, but too much of it would sometimes cause a lot of trouble in interpersonal communication.
Admission to the Christmas Ball was exactly 7:00 pm.
The ball was still held in the same hall as the Sorting Ceremony, which students occasionally referred to as "the Great Hall", or "the Banquet Hall."
Unlike Halloween, because there was no such thing as a masquerade party, and most of the professors were no longer in school, the school did not have strict rules on the time of the Christmas ball.
Students could even enter the Great Hall at five or six if they wanted to.
Tonight's ball didn't have guests like the princess, but it was said to have invited the magic circus that performed on Traveller Street.
Although the little magisters themselves could summon magical spirits, there was always something refreshing about the magic circus directing a magical spirit show.
At about 6:30 in the evening, just after Dark had changed into his night prince suit, he heard a knock on the door.
He pushed the useless black crow mask to the corner of the table, adjusted his collar, and went to open the door.
"Good evening, ladies."
The moment he opened the door, he performed a gentleman's greeting that could not be more standard.
Dianna at the door was stunned for a moment, then she happily extended her hand.
"Good evening, Dark."
Dark took her hand and kissed the hand wearing the black lace glove, causing her to giggle.
Rose immediately showed an expression of disappointment at Dianna's giggle.
Only then did Dark raise his head, looking at the two ladies.
Dianna changed into the night princess dress as expected. The black velvet princess dress that matched Dark's outfit very well. The skirt held up by the crinoline had a particularly fluffy feeling.
Exaggerated decorations and cute frills all over the dress were by no means something that ordinary people could handle.
Dianna's long silver hair was neatly combed, which was clearly Rose's work at the first glance.
The expensive hair accessories pinned to the side of her head made her look more aristocratic and less childish.
The high-heeled crystal shoes slightly made up for her height that was slightly lower than that of her peers.
Dianna's outgoing character often made people forget that her mother was from the royal family.
Although it was only a distant relative of the royal family, that smooth silver hair still revealed an untouchable nobility.
Twelve-year-old Dianna, after being dressed up, actually looked like a little beauty.
...
Dark's eyes then turned to Rose.
Unlike the non-commissioned officers at the masquerade, Rose today also put on a dress that matched her temperament.
She obviously preferred clean and pure white tones. She was taller and more curvy than Dianna with the help of the corset, which made her waist look slender. Her skirt that was also supported by the crinoline was like a blooming flower, and the multi-layered design gave people a strong visual impact.
Rose, who chose the flat red dance shoes, stood up almost as tall as Dianna, and would not make Dianna become her foil.
It seems that she has always been careful not to block Dianna's radiance, but her natural beauty wouldn't be covered up by these small details.
Her pale blond hair inherited from her noble parents made her look like a real princess.
Even if Anna and Angie were here, they wouldn't be able to completely take away her brilliance.
Different from the cowardice when she first came to Saint Marian, Rose was obviously more open, not only thanks to Dianna's influence, but also because there was a young boy who gathered all the attention in their small circle.
While it may not sound like a good thing at first, it was actually the case.
No matter where people were or the level of the circle they were in, it had a very important impact on their own psychology and the perception of the outside world.
The small circle formed by the three of them was undoubtedly the most prominent among the first-year students at Noble House.
The careless Dianna didn't notice.
But the attentive Rose could always see some envious look in the eyes of her classmates, which improved her low self-esteem that was hidden in her heart.
So she always felt that it was a lifetime of luck to meet Dianna and Dark.
Because of this, her smile grew brighter.
...
Dark looked away, feeling slightly fortunate.
Fortunately, he was no longer the one he used to be.
After going through the trial of Pandora and the adorable offensive of cat grass, his current temperament was firm enough, and his deadly sin index wouldn't fluctuate easily.
"It's time to go."
Dark locked the door and walked towards the corridor entrance.
Rose hurriedly pushed Dianna's arm. Only then did Dianna react and hurriedly reach out to hold Dark's arm.
But she was obviously not used to the heels under her feet, so she leaned over.
Dark reacted quickly, only taking a step back before reaching out and holding her palm.
Dianna blushed slightly and smiled shyly.
Then she took the opportunity to take Dark's arm and walked downstairs.
Dark didn't mind, just glanced at Rose.
Rose winked at him, signalling that she could walk alone.
The three of them walked to the common room one after the other.
At this time, many people were still chatting and killing time in the common room.
Many students had seen them before.
But tonight was a little different.
The students of Noble House had been impressed by the sixteenth continuous invitations the night before. But when they saw Dark and Dianna walking together, they suddenly realized that the final winner was here!
Especially the first-year girls who were rejected on the spot showed full envy to Dianna.
Eudora was huddling in the corner and reading a book when Dark and Dianna walked in. Her grades were just average. Although eleven years old and twelve years old seemed to be only one year apart, she was actually a little unable to keep up with the progress.
But luckily enough.
"I'm still young."
Glancing at Dianna's chest, Eudora told herself that she still had potential.
As for the fact that she didn't receive any reply from Dark the night before, it was as she expected.
She didn't know that she was the only one who didn't receive the reply. After all, no one would publicize this kind of thing, and they had already been rejected once in the open.
Dark's action seemed to be sincere and polite, but for the girls, it was the second rejection.
He had no relevant experience in his last life, so he was a little negligent when it came to other people's feelings.
...
The moment Dark opened the door, the students in the common room also stood up and walked out one after another.
Light from within the door illuminated the bridge. Every student who walked through it felt the solemn atmosphere of Christmas.
The Christmas ball, from here, has already started in their hearts.
It took about five minutes to walk slowly from the tower of Noble House to the great hall on the first floor.
Dark was so worried that Dianna would accidentally fall, so he kept holding her hand.
Outside the main entrance of the great hall stood two glowing deers with cute Christmas hats on their heads.
Dark imitated the behavior of the seniors ahead and took off the Christmas hat of a deer. Sure enough, he saw another Christmas hat fall down from the top of its head and landed firmly on the deer head.
This seemingly simple scene contained an extremely powerful mechanism.
Admiring in his heart, Dark put the Santa hat on Dianna's head, and then he took off another one for himself.
Two first-year students wearing Santa hats pushed in the door.
Instantly, the scenery of the entire great hall came into view!
The hall's iconic four long tables were still there. The long tables were covered with red tablecloths embroidered with Christmas trees, deers and sleighs. Silver candlesticks were floating above the long tables, but the candles were not yet lit.
On the stage in front stood a huge Christmas tree!
On the Christmas tree were large and small gift boxes, as well as countless decorations.
The most dazzling decoration among them was a crown, a magic book, a lance and a Tarot card of [The Fool]!
It was the logo that symbolized the four houses, and was the spiritual outline of the academy.
A small glowing spirit danced around the Christmas tree, making silver bell-like giggles.
The atmosphere of the Christmas ball was overflowing!
