"Nina tailoring?"
Liz frowned and repeated strangely.
Because tomorrow night is the fund-raising party, and Liz has already noticed that Vivian doesn't have a decent dress yet.
She did think about lending her dress to Vivian, but she was quickly rejected because after a little comparison, she knew that the difference in figure between the two was really too big.
Even if it is her smallest size of clothes, according to Liz's visual inspection, it will still be a great challenge for Vivian. Don't let the clothes not hold up and cause air leakage everywhere.
Liz just imagined the scene where she could see her feet directly from the collar of her clothes when she lowered her head and sighed.
Therefore, in desperation, Liz could only go to a tailor shop to see if they had the same type of dress and buy a new one based on Vivian's rare and unique figure.
Now that she has decided to buy a new one, she must choose the one that fits the best. Liz must know Vivian's specific size and figure data.
But then, the problem arises again. Liz is not a professional, so she definitely can't tell these details by just looking at them.
But for Liz to take the initiative to ask Vivian... she wouldn't be able to do such a thing.
The earl's daughter still has the baggage.
So, Liz used her clever little mind to come up with such a wonderful solution.
That is, wait until it is quiet at night, quietly steal the clothes Vivian wears during the day and take off at night from the laundry room on the floor... bah, borrow them, and then use this as the size standard. The tailor shop is now done.
At present, the most difficult first step in the entire plan has been successfully completed by Liz.
The old clothes she is holding in her hands are the best proof.
After that it gets much simpler.
Originally, Liz wanted to smear the situation alone and sneak out of the manor, but after thinking about it, she felt that it would be better to have someone around her, at least someone who would be responsible for carrying things.
Therefore, it will eventually evolve into this scene at this moment.
But what Liz didn't expect was.
When she found Alina, the maid who recommended herself to serve Vivian during this period...
After listening to her simple explanation of what to do next, the maid suddenly boldly suggested that she strongly recommend that she go to another shop called "Nina Tailoring".
"Can I hear a reason?"
It stands to reason that the other party is just a little maid who is responsible for carrying things and is not qualified to have the right to propose his own plan.
If it were during the day, Liz, the eldest lady of the manor, wouldn't even pay attention to her. But after all, it was late at night and there were only the two of them. Liz somewhat put down her identity and wanted to give the maid a chance to explain first.
And on the other side at this time.
After hearing the eldest lady asking her to explain, Alina immediately panicked.
Because when he heard that the eldest lady was taking him to a tailor shop, he said the words "Nina Tailoring" completely subconsciously.
But in fact, Alina didn't even know where the "Nina Tailoring" store was, let alone said she had bought clothes from them and knew the quality.
All of this came from the "oracle" messages she saw while chatting with Sister Qing during the day.
At that time, Alina didn't understand. It was only now, after Liz found her, that Alina suddenly woke up to the meaning of the hint given to her by the oracle.
It doesn't matter!
Believe in the oracle!
Alina's mind was spinning quickly. She paused for a moment and had already thought of the reason.
"You are such a young lady. I think the styles of clothes in most other tailor shops are not suitable for Lady Vivian, but Nina's tailoring is different."
"I went there by chance before when I wanted to buy some clothes for myself. Now that I think about it, although it is relatively unpopular, it really suits Lady Vivian's style."
Alina finished speaking in one breath. Even though it was all made up by her, the maid was still confident because she believed that since the oracle asked her to go there, it would definitely not trick her.
Unfortunately, Alina's self-confidence soon began to collapse under the strange gaze that Liz cast towards her.
"You... said you went to Nina to sew clothes? Buy some clothes for yourself?" Liz looked at Alina with a new look.
"Yes...yes..."
The maid suddenly began to feel guilty. She didn't know why the eldest lady showed such an expression. Could it be that "Nina Tailoring" is a very high-end and luxurious store, and the eldest lady felt that she was not worthy of being a maid?
But soon, after a second, Alina knew that she was wrong, and she was very wrong.
"Yeah."
"I didn't expect you to have a hobby of wearing men's clothing."
"ah!?"
After Alina heard the word "men's clothing", she was dumbfounded and her mind went blank.
"What's wrong? Did I remember correctly? Nina Tailoring is not a men's clothing store? Or is it that they have recently launched women's clothing?"
"This...this..."
Alina hesitated.
In fact, deep down in her heart, the maid had already scolded the oracle countless times. She knew that this was a deceptive piece of junk!
It's over now!
Not only did they fail to make Nina's clothes, they also put a strange label on her in the eldest lady's heart.
Damn it!
Pseudo-hemp drops!
"Okay, let's go to the place you mentioned."
Liz started to walk out of the house, leaving the maid in the room, who looked confused and had not yet reacted.
"Ah? Miss... Miss, are we really going there?" Alina couldn't believe her ears.
"Isn't this what you recommended to me?"
"cocoa..."
She didn’t know it was a men’s clothing store! Aren’t they going to buy clothes for Vivian? ? Why go to a men's clothing store? Alina did not dare to say these words that were shouting in her heart.
Opposite, Liz, who had already walked to the door, turned back and urged the maid a little impatiently, who was still stunned.
"Hurry up and remember to get the clothes bag and put Vivian's old clothes in it."
"I just thought about it, and your idea is indeed good. But my thinking was too limited. Who stipulates that women must wear women's clothes? I think that maybe the style of men's clothes... is really more suitable for Vivian. "
It can be heard that Liz's tone is very serious, and she really feels that way.
Alina: "..."
Vivian! (sad voice)
From the bottom of her heart, the maid thinks that the greatest humiliation to a girl is "it's more appropriate for you to wear men's clothes".
After half a second of silence for Vivian in my heart.
Alina began to be ecstatic.
"Okay Miss! That's what I meant from the beginning! Miss is so awesome, I understood it right away!"
Being alone together in this kind of environment can really shorten the distance between them. During the day, even if she, a little maid, had a hundred courages, she would not dare to talk to Liz like this.
Of course, the more important reason was that she had fulfilled the guidance of the oracle very well and changed their itinerary to "Nina Tailoring".
And then...
Alina recalls the third line of her “oracle.”
With each line, the number of words will decrease sharply, and as the last line, there is only one word left for Alina.
white.
Bai...Damn it, what does this mean? ?
Alina was unable to complain.
She has long studied that there is a causal relationship between each line of the oracle, and often the next line will be closely related to the previous line.
For example, right now.
If the first line of the oracle hadn't told her to run to the hall and take the initiative to become Vivian's maid, then tonight, the person the eldest lady was looking for would definitely not be herself.
So, based on this, the oracle would definitely let him go to this place called "Nina Tailoring" just for the third line.
That is, for the word "white".
But this... this is just one word, who can understand it? Can't you tell her a little more? It would be nice to at least give a personal name!
I can't understand it no matter how hard I think about it.
Alina simply gave up.
Anyway, you will know when the time comes. Although the oracle seems unreliable, the maid knows that one thing will never change, that is, the oracle will never harm her.
This is enough.
After packing Vivian's old clothes and carrying a package, Alina followed closely behind Liz.
Bypassing the castle guards without being discovered by anyone, the two quietly walked outside the manor.
"Huh?"
After coming out and walking on the street at night, Liz suddenly stopped and saw the eldest lady raising her head, frowning, looking up at the night sky far away from them, probably in the direction of the night sky in the outer city.
But this time, Alina didn't need to ask, because she also made the same move.
After all, anyone who is not blind can see.
That huge sea of fire that dyed the night sky red.
"Miss, what...what is this..." Alina's voice was trembling as she spoke.
She had never seen anything like this.
Fire? explode? Or magic? What happened in the outer city! ?
"I don't know." Liz shook her head.
"Then, are we still going? Miss, I think it's better to go back and don't go out..."
Although the sea of fire was far away from the inner city where they were, just seeing it from a distance made Alina feel scared in her heart.
"It doesn't matter, Nina Tailoring is not far from us, it's also in the inner city."
"Okay, stop looking. No matter what happens, there are still city guards here. I believe they can control the fire and won't burn us. Let's go."
After watching the eldest lady wave her hands nonchalantly, she started to take steps again.
Alina hesitated to speak.
The maid actually wanted to say that what she was afraid of was not that the fire would spread, but that the chaos caused by the fire would cause people from the outer city to run to the inner city.
It would be okay if they were just some victims of the fire. Alina was afraid that if the fire was deliberately caused by someone, they wouldn't run into fugitives again!
It shouldn't be possible, right?
How low the probability is!
What's more, isn't there an oracle? How could the oracle trick me!
Um!
Believe in the oracle!
After Alina comforted herself, she continued to catch up with her eldest lady, and went to Nina to sew clothes with great anticipation.
...
...
Earl's Manor.
In Vivian's room.
The little girl who was still sleeping soundly on the bed when the wolf cub left was now wearing loose pajamas and standing by the window.
Vivian looked at the raging sea of fire burning in a certain area in the outer city in the distance.
The crimson light of the flames was reflected in the little girl's pupils.
Vivian's hand holding the curtains tightened involuntarily.
"Xiao Hei..."
The little girl's lonely whisper echoed in the dark and silent room.
In the mental space, the second personality couldn't bear to see Vivian's depressed look.
In the darkness behind the little girl, a vague shadow slowly appeared.
"Okay, let's be more open-minded. Maybe Xiao Hei just, um... went out to look for food? That's not all. Many monsters have the habit of moving at night!"
The second personality tried to comfort him.
Although she and Vivian both felt in their hearts that the raging fire in the outer city in the distance definitely had the shadow of Xiao Hei, and it was even said that it was Xiao Hei who started it!
After all, with Xiao Hei's ability, this is really nothing. From this, we can see how destructive Xiao Hei is, and this is actually the reason why Vivian is depressed.
She didn't want to see Xiao Hei using his abilities indiscriminately, and she didn't want Xiao Hei to become a dangerous person, or even a disaster.
But the point of Vivian's helplessness and disappointment is that she, the summoner who is supposed to be the guide of summoned beasts, has no ability to educate Xiao Hei.
"Don't think so much, Vivian, that old saying comes from that, right! Just what kind of summoner there is, there will be what kind of summoned beast! Vivian, you are so kind, I believe that Xiao Hei, he It must be, or...don't you even trust him?"
The second personality deliberately used the provocation method, and the simple and naive little girl immediately fell in love with it.
"How could it be! Of course I am the one who believes in Xiao Hei the most!"
Vivian retorted anxiously, her voice raised a bit.
"It's just... I just hope that next time he can, can sue..."
"What can I do? Vivian, I know you like Xiao Hei very much, but you also have to leave some personal space for each other. This is really important!"
"People can't be together forever, even me."
"It's very likely that one day, Vivian, you will suddenly wake up, and then I will disappear, so you have to learn..."
Before the second personality could finish his earnest words of persuasion, he was interrupted by the little girl.
"Stop! I...I understand what you mean, the other me, so I won't blame Xiao Hei or anything, and I won't expose him. I just...just muttered a little bit."
"Ah! It's broken, it's broken! You have to go back to sleep quickly! There is a party tomorrow night. If you are not in a good state of mind, you will be in trouble!"
Vivian let go of the curtains and returned to the bed, but before going to sleep, the little girl finally whispered:
"Also, the other me, I don't... don't allow you to say anything else, otherwise you will disappear! I will never let this happen."
"Even if one day you disappear, I...I will do my best to find you back, I promise!"
After saying that, I may be too ashamed.
Vivian closed her eyes, as if I had fallen asleep, don't talk to me anymore.
The shadow of the second personality, after smiling dumbly, floated to the bedside with a gentle face, dragging its cheeks, quietly watching the little girl's sweet sleeping face.
Under this beautiful silence is another place in the Earl's Castle at this moment, the maid's rest room.
It may sound a bit scary.
But it's like a fake corpse.
On the bed, in her sleep, the Qing sister who had been chatting and laughing with Alina during the day was acting like a corpse at this moment, straightening her waist and sitting up from the bed.
