Chapter 580 - Extra Part: Lauriel & Luna (3) (1/2)
Luna was watching the five merry men with an annoyed face behind her mask. On one hand, she was happy that the rumors she helped spread herself worked, but on the other hand, somehow she felt irritated that even Lauriel Medici cared about looks.
Lauriel was not at all serious about the bet. He just called Luna ugly so that he lost the bet and could give a treasure c.h.e.s.t to Petra. He did not want Petra to come to the Lindens empty-handed.
However, Luna did not understand what he meant. She regarded Lauriel's words as an insult even though he said it in an amusing tone. She wanted to make Lauriel get the consequences.
”Alright, Mr. Medici ... you just lost a treasure c.h.e.s.t there ....” Luna murmured softly. She pursed her lips and promptly walked back to her room with long strides.
”Where are you going?” asked her mother who passed by her in the hallway, ”The party will start soon.”
”I want to change clothes,” she said quickly.
Half an hour later, she came out of her room wearing a beautiful long purple dress. Her beautiful hair was partly styled in a bun above her head, the rest was left to roll down her back. She walked with graceful and steady steps. Her beautiful face was almost glowing when she stepped into the hall.
The place suddenly turned silent. Every guest immediately noticed her presence. Lauriel's table was one of the quietest ones after the five men who were enjoying their wine turned to the entrance and laid eyes upon the most beautiful girl they had ever seen.
Luna smiled sweetly and raised a hand to greet the guests, ”Good evening everyone, thank you for coming to my birthday party ....”
Her gaze swept over to Lauriel and his group's table. She was immediately stunned. She recognized Lauriel from his clothes. But earlier, she had only seen his back from behind.
Now she could see Lauriel's face and Luna had to admit that his appearance was very impressive. The young man was very handsome and had a big, tall body and a pair of very unique blue-green eyes.
These blue-green eyes were now staring at Luna with an unchanging expression. It was as if Luna was not the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. A feeling of annoyance slipped into the girl's heart as she realized that while the eyes of all the men in the room were at her, Lauriel particularly did not look impressed.
Is the Medici heir gay? Did the long adventuring at the sea make him numb to women? Luna thought irritably. In the end, the girl became impatient. She walked over to Lauriel's table and stopped in front of him.
”You're Lauriel, aren't you?” Luna asked, looking straight into the man's eyes. Lauriel was somewhat surprised but he just nodded. She slightly turned to Petra before looking back at Lauriel, ”You lost the bet so you also lose one treasure c.h.e.s.t. As you can see, my face is not disfigured from being kicked by a horse.”
