Chapter 650: Behind the Schemes (1)
'Ely, the servant just now had a grudge against you? It's our first time here, right? Or have the schemes and tricks I talked about already started? I know politics and the like are rotten, but they picked the wrong opponent.' Sylvia spoke via telepathy.
'Yeah, there's a third party that knows about our value and wants the British elite squad leader, Tyler, in big trouble of no return. The servant just now was an assassin from that side.' Elysia looked at the changing room once more and closed the door.
'So, are we going to retaliate? Revenge like blood for blood?' A glint flashed in Sylvia's eyes. She covered her mouth as she almost smirked evilly.
'No, at least not for now.' Elysia shook her head and heaved a subtle sigh.
'Hehe, so it will come in time? Okay, please tell me when it's time for action. The roses are red, the explosion is boom. Blood is fluid, but flowers need to bloom.' Sylvia clasped her hands together with a smile full of expectations.
'That's a good rhyme, but why do you seem anticipating it? Nevermind, just avoid another bloodbath, if possible...' Elysia smiled helplessly. Yet, two girls were seen approaching with hasty steps from the other side of the corridor.
Erina took a deep breath and let it out slowly. She caught her breath so as not to gasp before speaking. "Elysia-san, I finally found you. Can I know where you have been? I was looking for you everywhere because I had a bad feeling. But, thank goodness you're okay."
"Bad feeling?" Elysia was somewhat surprised by Erina's accurate hunch. Even so, she wore a sad expression and pouted. "We're still in the dressing room. We did need some extra time to find the right dress, but everyone was gone by the time we were done. Meanie, no one wanted to wait for us."
"Eh? This is strange, the maid who was with you said that you and Sylvia-san had already gone to the banquet hall." Erina blinked her eyes a few times with a confused expression. She couldn't believe what she could imagine, but that was what Elysia said.
Elysia brought her face closer to Erina and whispered softly while covering her mouth. She didn't want a third party to eavesdrop. "Yup, something happened and it's not good. Please make sure you never get separated from Mio-san or your grandfather, Erina-san. If you want to return to Japan, it would be best if you go tonight."
"Un, understood. I'll also tell my grandfather right away. But, someone is after you? For what purpose and who are they? Is Tyler behind that? Anyway, you'll be coming with us to Japan right?" Erina covered her mouth as if she couldn't believe what might just happen to Elysia.
Her wild hunch proved correct. Elysia was at a disadvantage if Elysia remained here for long.
"Uh-huh?" Elysia was slightly stunned. This girl assumed it was pretty far out of just a hunch, and the misunderstanding was there. Even so, she only smiled and answered curtly. "It wasn't Mr Tyler's doing."
"Eh, isn't it him? I thought he would use some weird trick to get your attention." Erina felt a bit awkward. She guessed wrong, but someone else planned to do some dirty schemes for Elysia?
"Hehe, anyway, you look beautiful in that dark brown dress, Erina-san. Let's go to the banquet hall." Elysia took a step back and used a compliment to change the topic.
"Thank you, I'm flattered. Hum-mm, you and Sylvia-san look like they're wearing one-themed dresses, Elysia-san. It's a really beautiful and enchanting dress... Really accentuated your beauty. You'll definitely bewitch everyone's attention." Erina returned the compliment with a happy heart.
"Fufu, thank you very much." Elysia covered her mouth with elegant movements.
"Yes, let's go to the banquet hall. Everyone is waiting for you. This event is held with you like the spotlight." Erina went to the side and gave a welcome hand gesture. She then walked to the banquet hall beside Elysia.
"Uhm..." Mio wanted to ask the white-haired girl beside her, but she didn't even know how to convey her question.
She also couldn't ask her young lady or Elysia right now. What Elysia just said to Erina by whisper concerned her the most. Therefore, she used hand sign language, but Sylvia only got a confused look.
"What's wrong with this girl? Does she have a disease, err, something like a mental disorder?" Sylvia muttered under her breath and scratched her head in confusion. She just shrugged her shoulders and ignored Erina's bodyguard, who was acting strangely.
The moment Elysia and her group entered the banquet hall, dozens of pairs of eyes immediately turned to them. Erina was of gentle and eye-catching beauty, but the girl next to her was just too bright and bewitching to compare.
It was as if this girl was in a whole different league with no competition. The girls and women in the banquet hall felt somewhat insecure when they compared them to Elysia's angelic charm.
Not to mention the rare silver white-haired girl who followed closely behind. This girl was like a rare girl in the Nordic with hair as white as snow, but she was still young. It was white, not because of aging. Some people see it as a unique attraction since the majority carry hair color leaning to dark or blonde.
On top of that, Elysia and Sylvia's dresses were utterly different from all the girls at the event. They only flaunted the minimal skin, but their appeal was maximal. Not just towards gentlemen, but to ladies also.
"Fufu, as I thought. Your charms really fascinate everyone. I even wonder if I am beautiful compared to you, Elysia-san." Erina covered her mouth in a light chuckle.
"You make me feel embarrassed, Erina-san. Let's go that way, near the balcony is the best." Elysia took Erina with a subtle movement.
"Sure." Erina put her hand on Elysia's arm, and they went near the balcony.
Several young gentlemen were competing to approach the top-tier girls in various ways and methods. They had the same goal in mind, making Elysia's group immediately surrounded by nobles.
"Hush, please keep your distance. Miss Elysia and the others will feel troubled because of you all. Please keep your attitude and manners in the best possible condition." Lucas spread his arms and pushed back the other men. Tyler and England would reap a great benefit here, and he hated that the most.
"I hope you're not bothered by them, Miss Elysia. But, well, I'm not surprised they want to get to know you because you really stole their hearts." Tyler picked up a glass of wine and sipped it like a winner. He was amused to see the insignificant mobs being taken care of by his rival while he was the one who would reap the most credits.
"Well, well, you were the one who planned this all, Tyler. Is a welcome banquet in England like this? You invited quite a number of important people in this country to your mansion." Bai Jin shook his wine glass slightly with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, I don't involve myself much in matters of preparation and the like. I'm just hosting the place for this. What did you expect? News of what happened might have reached their ears, and it was only natural for them to want to get acquainted with the saint." Tyler shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
"Fufu, that's an interesting thing. Hm, my apologies, I seem to need to excuse myself for a breath of fresh air." Elysia decided it was the last person to exchange pleasantries. She had said enough, and she felt a little tired of talking.
"Haha, all right. You can enjoy this banquet to your heart's content. Please let me know if you need any help in Manchester. I will be happy to assist you, Miss Elysia." The young gentleman gave a slight bow of nobility.
Elysia only responded by nodding slightly and smiling. She then went towards Sylvia. "Let's go to the balcony, Sylvi. This conversation and small talk will never stop if I stay in the banquet hall."
"Eh, they're just talking, though? But, well, it'd be tiring if everyone wanted to exchange small talk with you. You need to learn my ultimate technique in an event like this. There are two secrets, ignore and intimidate one so the other will back off." Sylvia glanced left and right with a satisfied smile. No one tried to talk to her anymore because she ignored everyone except Elysia.
"That will work if you are in a seat of high authority and have a superior title. Everyone here feels they are above the others, and that will have a negative domino effect. Put that wine down and take the rest to the balcony with me. No more wine for you. "Elysia put Sylvia's wine glass on the table and grabbed the devil girl's arm.
"Okay, okay, I'm coming with you. It's no ordinary wine, and it tastes pretty good. I have a high alcohol tolerance, Ely. Would you like to try a glass?" Sylvia put some other delicious snacks onto her small plate and went with Elysia to the balcony.
Erina and Mio saw that. They immediately followed Elysia to the balcony.
Lucas's eyes sparkled when he saw that. He asked his team to stand in the way to the balcony and block anyone from getting close. So, that would be his excellent time to get to know Elysia better.
However, certain people managed to escape the blockade of the American elite team, such as Tyler and the other squad leaders.
"Men and boys are always like that whenever they see top-tier beauty. I hope they don't leave a bad impression on you, Miss Elysia." Lydia came closer with a concerned expression.
She knew very well. It was exhausting to exchange pleasantries with so many people. Yet, Elysia handled them flawlessly with an elegant demeanor like a high-class aristocrat.
