“Why Did You Piss Him Off? He's the Evil God's Lackey!”

Chapter 163: So Cool, I Want to Learn That Too

Chapter 163: So Cool, I Want to Learn That Too

Lia covered her mouth with one hand, yawning.

"Hah..."

Gwen stood before her very seriously, hands clasped together, face full of distress as she said:

"Lia!"

"You're my only hope now."

Lia put one hand on her hip, looking Gwen up and down, and sighed with extreme exasperation.

"You called me here early in the morning just for this?"

"Just because my brother invited you to dinner, you're getting this worked up?"

"Please, get a grip!"

Gwen pressed her lips together, feeling incredibly complicated.

"But..."

"If I go wearing this, wouldn't it be too impolite?"

She spread her arms, looking down at the light knight's armor she wore.

There was no help for it - Gwen had never owned a formal dress, let alone worn makeup.

Even at the last banquet, she was forcibly made up and dressed in Kevla's old formal dress.

But if sister Kevla were here, she wouldn't need to be so troubled.

Lia looked at Gwen with frustration, as if disappointed in an unworthy student:

"In the past, you would never think like this."

If it was the previous Gwen, she would have coldly rejected Viktor.

Not like now, acting just like...

A young girl who just started dating and becomes completely helpless when asked out on a date.

"What kind of love potion did Viktor give you?"

Lia covered her forehead with one hand.

"Lia! I can't break this appointment!"

Gwen heavily placed both hands on Lia's shoulders, looking at her earnestly.

The heavy pat almost sent Lia flying.

She struggled to remove Gwen's hands from her shoulders and held them.

"This concerns a knight's honor!"

"?"

Lia looked at Gwen with an expression that said she didn't understand but was greatly shocked.

What did this have to do with a knight's honor?

Are you sure you're not just making up an excuse?

But jokes aside.

Since Gwen asked for help, she naturally had to assist.

She took out a pocket watch from her bosom and looked at the time.

"Let me see... counting from now until evening."

"Well, we should make it in time."

She closed the watch and said to Gwen.

"Have your maids take your measurements, I'll go find some mages now - though it'll be expensive."

Gwen was slightly stunned.

What did they need mages for?

Lia sighed tiredly.

"Is your head filled with nothing but muscle? We don't have time to find a tailor now."

"Mages are more expensive, but they can use magic to make prettier clothes, and much faster."

"Oh, oh..."

Gwen nodded obediently, seeming to half-understand.

"As for makeup and such, ah, I'll help you with that personally."

Looking at Gwen's naturally beautiful face, Lia felt somewhat troubled.

Despite being a battle-hardened knight, she still maintained incredibly smooth skin that gave off a bright and vibrant feeling.

It was simply enviable.

Lia put her hand on Gwen's shoulder, intending to force her down into the chair.

But even using all her strength, she couldn't push Gwen down.

Gwen tilted her head in confusion, but saw Lia raising her eyebrows with a strained smile.

"I'm saying..."

@@@@

"Could you please cooperate?"

"Ah, y-yes..."

Gwen hurriedly sat down, sitting properly in front of the mirror.

Lia let out a breath and took out her makeup case from her waist pouch.

"Close your eyes."

Gwen obediently closed her eyes.

She felt slight tickling sensations on her face as someone dabbed and drew for a while.

Hmm...

This feeling was just like when Kevla did her makeup.

Very uncomfortable.

Then, she heard Lia's voice beside her.

"By the way, now that Baron Angus has passed away and you're a countess."

Around him, greenery quietly arose.

A serene environment like green wilderness gradually spread throughout the restaurant.

Green phosphorescence gradually lit up from the grass, making everyone feel this incredibly rich natural essence.

The air, filled with life energy, made them feel extremely relaxed.

Viktor walked slowly, his coat gradually transforming into an immaculate suit under the flames.

A silver brooch adorned his chest, with the Mage Council's medal on one side.

His entirely black attire made him appear incredibly elegant and dashing, his cool gaze adding a touch of mystery.

Soon, he stood before Gwen.

The surrounding nobles were stunned by what they had just witnessed.

"That's... Viktor!?"

"The head of the Kravina family is here too!"

"So cool, I want to learn that clothes-changing magic too..."

But after a moment's reflection, they suddenly realized.

If this person was Viktor,

Then that woman must be...

"The current head of the Delin family, Viktor's fiancée, Gwen!?"

When this voice rang out, many present were completely dumbfounded.

In the nobles' impression, Gwen had always maintained the image of a righteous knight.

They found it impossible to reconcile that image with this top-tier beauty before them, superior in both bearing and appearance.

However, Viktor had already placed one hand behind his back, slightly bowing forward.

His other hand extended toward Gwen.

A perfect gentleman's etiquette.

Gwen stood somewhat dazed until Lia quietly urged her from the side.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry and take his hand!"

At Lia's reminder, Gwen hurriedly came to her senses, her cheeks burning red as she placed her hand in Viktor's palm.

Seeing Viktor's gentle smile made Gwen relax.

Viktor held Gwen's hand as they walked into the restaurant under the nobles' watchful eyes.

Lia stood outside the door, watching their retreating figures.

"Ah."

"For today's sake, I'll let you enjoy yourself properly."

With that, she casually departed under everyone's returning gazes.

Gwen was led by Viktor's hand, slowly entering the restaurant.

The surrounding gazes seemed to have increased.

This made her feel quite uncomfortable, keeping her head down, not daring to speak.

She had never experienced being the center of such attention before.

What was going on today?

At this moment, Viktor led her to stand in the center of the restaurant.

Countless gazes around them converged on the couple like spotlights.

"Do you know what day it is?"

Viktor's voice sounded beside Gwen's ear, making her lift her head and look at him questioningly.

Their eyes met.

Suddenly, Viktor snapped his fingers.

Around them rose vines filled with natural green energy.

On those vines hung a suit of armor and a fire-red blade.

The two evolved pieces of equipment gave off a slight golden glow, appearing somewhat hazy in the lamplight.

The steel seemed to have subtle patterns flowing through it, with runes carved within, barely visible.

"This is my gift for you, the most suitable present."

As a knight, Gwen keenly sensed the power contained within these two pieces of equipment.

But she was confused.

Why was Viktor giving these pieces of equipment to her?

And why emphasize that this was a gift?

As she pondered, Viktor clapped his hands again.

Behind him, several servants pushed silver-white carts.

On top sat a magnificent cake over ten layers tall.

Around them, the beautiful music became more cheerful.

Even the nobles felt the joyous atmosphere and couldn't help but join in, applauding.

Only Gwen, unaware of the truth, looked at the smiling Viktor.

His gentle gaze calmly met hers.

The breeze carried his warm words to her ears.

"Happy birthday."

"My dear knight."
