187 – Scene 187# Cinderella
*
– Bear in mind. hopefully… .
Wendy remembered what Lily had asked her to do.
-Until midnight… . After midnight, it goes back to its original form… . You have to come back before then.
I couldn’t be an adult forever.
But for today… .
For the rest of the day, I was able to meet him as an adult.
It was truly a trembling moment.
Wendy was able to become an adult as she wished, thanks to a special coin from Lily, her sponsor.
No, it wasn’t exactly an adult, but a figure that released the power of a hero… .
After transforming, I first realized how tall I was.
As my field of vision increased, I began to see more things than before.
Adding to that, wearing high heels made the world look different. Of course, my feet hurt a little… .
Also, her hair was too long to be tied in two ponytails.
Her hair was curly, so it took time to comb it neatly. Without Lily’s help, I almost couldn’t have finished it.
-You’ve become pretty… . hopefully… .
-Ehehehe… . really?
-Ugh… . Pretty… . really… .
The dress Riri prepared was perfect for Wendy’s grown-up body.
A bright yellow dress with a luxurious design with gold embroidery. In particular, the chest area was emphasized, but if it had been before the transformation, it would have been empty, but not now. Rather, it even got stuck a little.
When Wendy checked her reflection in the mirror, she felt awkward.
Is it pretty… . I honestly don’t know. Lili always said that she was pretty as if she was satisfied, but… . Wendy had only one thought.
Will Tristan like this look?
I wasn’t sure. Right now, there were many beautiful people beside him. No matter how pretty she became, she didn’t know if she would be able to catch Tristan’s eyes.
However, while looking in the mirror, Wendy gained a little bit of courage.
I don’t know, but if he saw this, he would definitely be surprised. no maybe you don’t recognize
Wendy calmed down and waited for Tristan.
However, it was a strange thing. Even after 9 o’clock, he didn’t think to show up.
Make sure to read from noble mtl com
Did something suddenly happen? Or did he even break his promise?
Worried about, Wendy eventually decided to leave the office and find Tristan herself. And finally… .
‘No, I talked to you… .’
Wendy tried to calm her pounding heart.
There were a lot of people at the ball, so I was at a loss, but I found him sooner than I thought.
Tristan always had an air of inaccessibility. It was the same this time too.
He was sitting on a bench in a dark corner away from the crowds.
Wendy even put on an eye mask in case he would recognize her and spoke to him.
While doing it, I pretended to be a stranger and even invited her to dance.
“… … .”
But Tristan just looked up at her in silence. With cold eyes that don’t know what they’re thinking.
Unable to bear the silence, Wendy finally waved her hand.
“Oh, that, sorry if it was so sudden. Please forget what I said.”
“good.”
“Yes?”
“I’ll let you dance.”
Tristan stood up and took Wendy’s hand. And kissed the back of the hand.
“… !”
“I’m counting on you. A shy girl.”
Tristan said with a smile on his lips as if he was having fun.
The eye mask couldn’t even cover the redness on her face. It was the best she could do, even if it was just an awkward smile.
The lotus flower leaves were falling in abundance.
Wendy, guided by Tristan’s hand, began to step lightly.
oh. Come to think of it… .
“Is this your first time dancing?”
“ah… .”
It also looks like it has a tee.
Wendy blamed herself inwardly.
If I was going to participate in the prom, of course I should have practiced dancing… .
For Wendy, a commoner, dances and dances were cultures that had nothing to do with each other. I didn’t have a chance to learn dance, and I didn’t grow up in an environment where I could learn.
It was a culture only for the aristocrats whom they vaguely admired.
Embarrassed, Wendy readily apologized.
“sorry… . Even if you don’t dance with me… .”
“I won’t teach you.”
“Yes?”
“How to dance. I will teach you.”
After saying that, Tristan gently wrapped his hand around Wendy’s waist.
“In dance, there is a flow from beginning to end. Even if you only learn the flow with your body, you can see it as half a success.”
“Yes… .”
“First of all, don’t worry about the steps and move according to your body.”
Tristan stuck close to Wendy. Then the nape of his neck was almost in front of his nose.
I felt like I was going to be seized with the desire to bury my face there right now. That enticing nape kept coming into my eyes.
“… Don’t be nervous.”
“Yes, yes!”
After waking up, Wendy started dancing as Tristan told her to.
It’s clumsy, but he carefully follows Tristan’s movements. OK… .
“ah… . It’s a little bit, but I’ve been able to follow it.”
“Well.”
Wendy, who was at a loss, kept pace with the rhythm.
Then, miraculously, the body began to move naturally.
“Then I’ll speed things up a bit. Are you okay?”
“Yes!”
Wendy eagerly danced with Tristan. At first, I was worried that the steps would be twisted, but as I got used to the flow, my feet moved forward almost automatically.
It was truly magical.
Because Wendy, who had never danced before, was stepping confidently before she knew it.
‘It’s fun… .’
Unknowingly, a smile crept across Wendy’s lips.
It was like a dream come true.
How nice it would be if I could dance with him forever… .
“You seem to be doing well now.”
“Yes… . Thanks.”
“You are the first person to invite me to dance when I can’t even dance.”
“Oh, that’s really… .”
“done. don’t apologize I am not blaming you.”
Having said that, Tristan started to step again. Wendy also stepped in line with him.
Then, mysteriously, as if she had been dancing for years, her body moved on its own.
At this point, Wendy also realized.
That if I hadn’t danced with Tristan, I would never have danced like this. The truth is that Tristan was adjusting himself.
Every time she took a step, he was agile and naturally ready to accept her next move.
“Count. Did you already know… ?”
“What do you mean?”
“Oh, no… . It must have been my mistake.”
Wendy glanced at Tristan’s expression. But no matter how much he looked, he couldn’t tell if he recognized her or not.
“bell… . Oh no… . Where has your partner gone?”
“How did you know I had a partner?”
“… !”
Tristan asked Wendy intriguedly.
“that is… . I think that someone like the Count must have a partner… .”
“If you are like me… ?”
“That… . kind and… . Your voice is good… . Good luck and… .”
Wendy is getting more and more gibberish.
Seeing this, Tristan laughed.
“You speak like someone who knows me well.”
“Oh, no… .”
Embarrassed, Wendy lowered her head.
I suddenly felt my gaze through the falling lotus flower petals.
Looking around, the people dancing around were watching Tristan and her.
‘Hee! Everyone, are you staring at me?!’
Is there something strange about this look?
Wendy carefully opened her mouth.
“Yeah… .”
“Why?”
“I wonder if my appearance is strange… Yo?”
Tristan narrowed his eyes and glanced at Wendy.
“no problem.”
“Then why are people staring… ?”
“It must be because you are beautiful.”
“… Yeah? Me, me?”
“yes.”
Wendy involuntarily swallowed her breath.
“Count. really… . Do you really think I am beautiful… ?”
“? yes.”
“… Ehehehe. Thank you… .”
His face was freed.
I shouldn’t be like this, but I kept laughing.
I’m so happy to say that I’m beautiful, not cute.
The purpose has been achieved.
So now is the time to tell the truth.
“Yeah… .”
Wendy slowly stopped stepping.
He swallowed a gulp and continued talking.
“Count. Actually, I have a confession to make. I’m actually… .”
And as I was about to raise my hand to take off the eye mask, Tristan cut me off.
“Sorry, but we’ll stop here.”
“Yes, yes?”
“It was a short time, but it was fun. A girl whose name I don’t know.”
“Ha, but I tell the Count… .”
“Don’t be sorry.”
Tristan added quietly, kissing the back of his hand.
“If you are an adult now, you should also know how to step back.”
“no way?! Oh, did you know?!”
At Wendy’s questioning, who was startled, Tristan gave a sly smile.
“I don’t know what you mean. but… .”
He said, gently caressing Wendy’s bandaged hand.
“It’s cute that these hands are still the same even when you’re grown up.”
“This, this is a wound that occurred before turning into an adult… .”
“Proof that you are still a child.”
“Hey… .”
“I will ask why this suddenly happened. just go back This is not the time for children to run outside.”
Wendy shook her head at Tristan’s determined answer.
“Sir, I don’t like it. I’m a bit more… . I want to dance with the Count… .”
“… … .”
Is it like that when you become an adult?
Normally, I wouldn’t have refused to obey his orders, but an unknown courage sprang up from somewhere.
Tristan, who looked down at Wendy in silence for a moment, sighed and said,
“Unfortunately, the prom is now over.”
“Yes?”
When I heard it, the music that was playing had stopped. The people who were dancing around were also slowly returning.
The last event of the festival is finally over.
“There… . Looks like my arrogant partner is looking for me.”
“ah… .”
It was as if he could hear Bella’s voice calling Tristan from somewhere.
“It is late. You go back.”
“yes… .”
I’m very sorry, but I couldn’t help it.
Why does time always end when it’s sad… .
“Count. I really enjoyed today. I will never forget what happened today… . then… .”
Now that the wish he had longed for came true, it would be a nuisance to Tristan to be stubborn. It was when Wendy, who had convinced herself like that, was about to turn around to go back.
“Come to think of it, I promised you.”
“Yes?”
“It is only natural that you feel sorry for not being able to keep your promise. so… . If you want to dance some more, go back to the meeting place.”
“Count… ?”
“So don’t look so disappointed.”
Tristan cleared his throat and added.
“Because the festival isn’t over yet.”
