YLTESCIA: A Reincarnator's Tale in the Lands of Merusia (2)

Chapter 290: The Festival of Hearts (pt. V)

Crystal chandeliers, golden candlelight, fancy dresses, and beautiful silverwares. All shone brightly as the darkness of the night loomed over the world. The sound of laughter and chattering drifted along the cold nightly breeze.

The night of the second day was upon everyone, and to end the ever so festive and wonderful Festival of Hearts, they held a grand and grandiose ball for everyone to enjoy, laughing and socializing to their hearts' content.

With so many nobility and royalty around, it was the most extravagant ball in all of the continent. Not only were the aesthetics fancy, the food served, the music played, and the service provided were also over the top, costing millions upon millions of kiels.

"Hm? Yuna, have you been eating less as of late? You feel... thinner...?" ［Grey］

"Grey... That's not a topic to talk about while we're dancing..." ［Yuna］

"Why not? Is it wrong to be concerned for my fiancée's health?" ［Grey］

"Mou... You're just teasing me again, aren't you?" ［Yuna］

Of course, Grey and Yuna also attended the ball, now adorned with beautiful and contrasting garments as they took the floor. They were picture perfect, their beauty illuminated by the gentle light from the chandeliers above, adorned by many.

Yuna's black dress resembled the night sky, her silver hair which fluttered in the wind shining like the stars, and her blue eyes like sapphire under the moonlight. The dress not only enhanced her beauty, but also accentuated her voluptuous figure. A jaw-dropping sight to behold.

As for Grey, he was just as stunning with his hair done to the side and his body now adorned in white princely garments. Though he was already handsome in his casual and adventurer attire, but now that he was in formal attire, he became even more attractive, stealing the hearts of the young ladies.

"Lord Grey... He looks so gorgeous. I want to talk to him..."

"Not only His Highness, Lady Yuna as well. How I wish I was as fair as her..."

"They look so perfect for each other!"

They aren't even the stars of the night, yet they have already stolen the spotlight, the eyes of many latching towards them. With every turn and twist they took, the sounds of awe and exclaim rang out in the air, people admiring them deeply.

But perhaps the one having the most fun was themselves. Smiles bloomed on their faces as their fingers interlocked, each of their steps guided by the music, their hearts thumping gently yet loudly as they held one another dearly.

"Yuna, you look stunning, My Dear." ［Grey］

"Hm? Why are you saying that all of the sudden?" ［Yuna］

"Hm? Nothing really... I just wanted to say it." ［Grey］

Or so he says, but in truth, Grey was simply acting possessive. Seeing the eyes of many young men latch on to Yuna, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. Though Yuna already accepted his faults, there were still some things he wanted to keep to himself.

And so, the music continued to play, keys, strings, and notes drifting in the air. It was a gentle night, footsteps fluttering all over. As they continued to dance, there was a certain harmony in the air one couldn't help but simply fall in love with.

Before long, the music finally reached its conclusion, the dancers halting their steps soon after. As the piece finished, everyone bowed their heads to their partners and headed off for others to take their place.

"Boss! Lady Boss! Would you like some wine?" ［Garret］

And just as Grey and Yuna retired, Garret approached them, now wearing formal clothes as beautiful as Grey's. For the first time ever since, he actually looked like a proper nobleman, his well-built figure fully showcased.
