Bab 61: Chapter 61

The knights had been busy drinking and talking boisterously just moments ago, but they now stared at Maxi in wide-eyed surprise. She cast her eyes down, her confidence dissipating. Had it been presumptuous of her to think that such a splendid dress suited her? Were the knights staring at what they perceived as the pathetic attempts of an ugly woman to primp herself? She turned beet red.

Ulyseon's loud voice broke the silence.

"Heavens, my lady! You look magnificent."

"I d-do?"

Maxi looked up self-consciously. Ulyseon nodded vigorously, his large purple eyes sparkling. He did not seem to be lying.

"You are the spitting image of the elves of old! White becomes you, my lady. You have always been lovely, but tonight, you are breathtaking!"

His extravagant praise made Maxi blush. But before she could thank him, he continued with even greater fervor.
