518 Birthday Gif (1/2)
It was June 25. The sun was as bright as Natasha's mood right now.
Whispering in a delighted tone, she prepared her face and her clothes in front of a mirror. Since she was not a rookie in romance, and she had plenty of similar dates when she was with Sylvia, she did not reject skirts, broad-edged hats, earrings or necklaces. Therefore, it was no trouble for her to find a delicate black dress whose edge was slightly puffy, revealing the mysteriousness of the night and the attraction of the unknown.
”Huh. This is not so flirty that it contradicts my style and scares Lucien, and nor is it as tough and charmless as the knight suit.” Natasha moved casually and commented in satisfaction.
The court dress was not in the style of the conservative Holm or that of the open Tria, but in the graceful style of Aalto between them. The neckline of the dress was slightly low, making it possible to see the fair and delicate skin down below, but if she did not bend, nothing inappropriate would be exposed at all.
The dress had been finely cut, too, highlighting Natasha's long beautiful neck, highly-rising breasts and slender but powerful waist in the most eye-catching way, filling her with the charm of a female.
Natasha observed herself and encouraged herself, ”Sylvia used to envy my body figure a lot in the past. I am never too thin or too fat. Lucien will definitely be amazed.”
She was not unsure of herself. However, after dropping Lucien's 'gender transitioning plan' the other day, when she recalled the past, she realized that she had never attempted to stress her femininity during her company with Lucien, and she had no idea whether she was a lady or a gentleman in his eyes. Therefore, she intended to correct her 'bad' impression of Lucien as soon as possible.
Queen Natasha was certainly not someone who would back off. Whenever she had a target, she always pressed forward determinedly and would fix the problems if she ever encountered any.
......
Allyn, in Lucien's magic tower…
Trays of Chinese dishes that had just been cooked were placed on the table in the living room, but there was no fragrance coming out, because they had all been kept with preservation magics.
Lucien took off the apron that he used for cooking and walked to the mirror while whispering a song merrily, observing himself, ”Huh. Stick to the plan. I need to slightly change the style of my coat and give Natasha a brand-new feeling. I have to change the image of being just a good friend that I've built so far.
The black frock coat slightly wriggled into a black cloak. Inside it, there was a white shirt, a black waistcoat, and a rather casual bowtie on the neckline.
His pants that were in the same color were equally straight, covering his shiny black shoes.
Men's clothes were not as complicated as women's. However, the slight change of coat already changed Lucien's vibe. He was a quiet and even conservative man before, but he had additional passion and confidence right now, making him look even more attractive.
Putting on his monocle, Lucien combed his fringe, allowing it to cover the right side of his forehead from the left side.
After he cleaned himself up, Lucien frowned at himself, seeing that his hair had reached his ears, feeling that he was not masculine enough. He thought to himself, ”Should I cut my hair short and keep a mustache?”
The idea had just occurred to him when Lucien realized something. He spoke to himself in amusement, ”This should be what Natasha prefers. If I change myself into a masculine man, I will only achieve the opposite of my purpose!”
Lucien turned around, fixed the dishes with magic, and put them in the storage bag that was awarded to him after he became a senior-rank sorcerer. Suddenly, he snapped his fingers and exclaimed 'I almost forgot' in his business. Then, he hurried to pick up a peppermint candy from the table in the living room and tossed it into his mouth.
”Keep your mouth fresh.” Lucien said in a smile and then bumped his fist at himself in the mirror:
”Keep it up!”
......
Natasha was very satisfied with her look and barely put on any makeup. She merely changed her hairstyle to make her long hair even more alluring.
After she finished picking her clothes, as usual, she took out a few candies in different flavors from her storage bag.
”Which flavor will be better?” Natasha hesitated for a moment. Considering Lucien's preference, she selected a sweet violet sugar and put it into her mouth.
After she was all set, Natasha was about to leave and begin her 'quest', when she suddenly remembered something from a long time ago, ”Sylvia mentioned that Lucien had been staring at her legs and her silk stockings like a wolf since the moment he saw her. Huh, although Lucien explained that it was because he did not expect to see such a byproduct of alchemy, I would rather believe that he likes it than go there unprepared. After all, he certainly does not dislike it.”
Whispering again, Natasha opened her closet and picked a pair of black silk stockings and garters of the same color with her clothes.
Sitting on the sofa, Natasha took her right foot out of the black shoe and put it on the table. Her foot was slightly small compared to her height. It was graceful and chubby, and her toes were long and cute. There wasn't any messy potion on her fingernails, either, which emitted healthy and attractive pinkness, like five vague roses.
As she rolled the thin silk stockings and covered the tip of her foot, hazy blackness buried her skin bit by bit and enshrouded her long, straight right leg.
After finishing both feet, Natasha put on the garters and stood up again. She pulled her dress and observed the result. Her legs behind the black silk stockings were obscure and unbelievably captivating.
”It's really good to be a radiant knight. My legs that were too solid before are now perfect. Haha.” Natasha praised herself without the least embarrassment.
Then, she looked at the beautiful girl inside the mirror. Some anxiety and worries beamed out of her face.
However, those emotions were soon dispelled by her resolution. Natasha clenched her right hand and said to herself in the mirror:
”Natasha, you can do this!”
......
Lucien walked out of the living room in a smile and reached the lift of the magic tower somewhat anxiously.
When he stepped into the lift, Lucien looked around and, upon seeing the garden outside of the enormous window, he thought of something. ”Crap! I didn't prepare any flowers! I've forgotten such an important thing!”
