Chapter 297

Inside the room, Maria sat quietly to one side, lost in thought.

After her initial excitement, Lamaline, seeing Maria's silent demeanor, also felt somewhat guilty.

After all, it's clear from any angle that they got the better deal from Maria.

Maria's hesitation just now, in particular, left her somewhat at a loss.

But this hesitation only lasted a moment before it vanished under Maria's gaze.

"I don't care about such claims... After all, you and I both know that the so-called princess is just a temporary cover."

As Maria spoke, she slowly rose to her feet.

Lamaline watched Maria gradually move away from her, her expression becoming somewhat complicated.

For some reason, she always felt that Maria in front of her had a strange sense of distance from her.

But when asked to explain where this estrangement came from, she couldn't.

He could only sit there, murmuring to himself.

No matter what, I'm at least somewhat attractive, right?

Why does it seem like Maria has absolutely no interest in me?

Maria remained silent for a moment before continuing to speak.

"Moreover, if it really can stabilize morale as they say, then it would be quite good."

"Without sufficient faith, it would be difficult to sustain the great migration that follows."

"Let's... make that announcement to the public for now."

Volume 1: Chapter 269 Leaving Hometown

Although it was a claim, Lamaline never actually considered holding any large-scale promotional events from beginning to end.

She simply sent someone into the crowd to spread the message that the heroes of the battlefield would unite with the Banshees Queen.

The message did indeed have its intended effect; after it was disseminated, the emotions of the remaining crowd gradually calmed down at a visible speed.

Although there was fear and unease, at least no further serious incidents occurred...

They just prayed... praying that the news was true.

They can no longer withstand any more disaster.

Inside the conference hall at this moment.

Young and beautiful Banshees, carrying various standard decorations, slowly walked forward.

They fluttered around each other like butterflies, gradually shedding their original clothes.

The sharp, crisp hunting clothes were removed, revealing a graceful body like a peeled egg.

The Banshees blushed slightly at the sight, but they restrained themselves from looking at it for long and instead turned to carefully change its clothes.

The soft silk garments draped slowly over her tall figure, and her already sharp aura softened by the elaborate clothing.

The thin silk was layered and covered, outlining her body.

Precious decorations were slowly arranged around her edges.

The skirt has pretty buttons, and there's also a shawl woven from a special mineral on the shoulders.

Wuba

Grayish-black earrings hung lightly on her ears, and her long, delicate white hair was neatly styled.

Meanwhile, Lamaline sat quietly to the side, repeatedly looking at the manuscript in her hands.

The manuscript, which should have been memorized in a few moments, seemed exceptionally complex at this time.

Lamaline's gaze kept drifting towards the quiet Maria beside her.

Regardless of their relationship, Maria's current identity is that of Banshees queen, so when appearing in front of others, it's best to wear the unique silk attire of Banshees.

After all, that would be more convincing.

But I don't know if it's just psychological.

She always felt that Maria looked exceptionally alluring at that moment.

Suddenly, she noticed that Maria's gaze was sweeping over her from the mirror.

Her face showed some panic, and she quickly turned her head away.

Maria's voice was also very steady.

"What's wrong?"

"... nothing."

Lamaline took a deep breath and turned her head away.

The Banshees standing nearby couldn't help but chuckle secretly at their lord's shy demeanor.

But these sounds caused an anomaly in Lamaline's ears.

She glared fiercely at the Banshees, watching their tense little faces and feigned seriousness before slowly turning her head away.

She may not have been as imposing as Maria, but in the eyes of others, she was still the undisputed queen of the Banshees.

This cannot be faked.

No Banshees dared to show her any disrespect.

After a while, the Banshees, having completely changed into Maria's clothes, quietly stepped aside, awaiting Maria's response.

Maria also took the opportunity to look at herself in the mirror.

To be honest, this was the first time in many years that Maria had changed into clothes other than her hunting attire.

She felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing her completely new self in the mirror.

The original sharpness has faded considerably; what remains is only the mystery that Banshees excel at.

His greyish-white eyes flickered slightly.

She turned slightly and moved quietly to Lamaline's side.

How are you feeling?

Maria's thoughts were simple. She didn't know if her demeanor met the Banshees' aesthetic standards. After all, she was going to pretend to be a queen for a while, so she definitely wanted to do everything she could to the best of her ability.

At the very least, we shouldn't ruin someone's reputation just because it's said to be temporary use.

But these words had a different meaning to Lamaline.

She stared in astonishment at the woman wrapped in silk cloth before her, somewhat bewildered.

Although she had been secretly observing Maria while she was changing, she was still stunned when she actually saw the slender waist concealed by the silk and the quietly exposed pinkish-white shoulders.

The Banshees's clothes weren't particularly figure-hugging, and the overall black color scheme laid the foundation for their mysterious and somber style.

Even so, Maria's stunningly perfect figure still managed to bring out its unique charm.

Her slender neck, delicate skin, and long, white legs were only briefly revealed as her skirt moved, along with her graceful figure.

The Banshees' clothes were a perfect fit for Maria!

Incredibly noble!

"It's... it's very beautiful..."

Lamaline's face flushed slightly, and she slowly glanced to the side, seemingly unable to look directly at him.

Even though she knew that the relationship between the two was actually very pure, just a simple exchange of interests.

But seeing Maria's slightly drooping eyes, she couldn't help but blush.

No...

Whose kind-hearted person is so good-looking?

Isn't this blatant seduction?!

Especially when Maria leaned closer, Lamaline could even see the other's softness slightly deformed.

This made Lamaline's eyebrows twitch.

It's important to know that when Banshees's costumes were sculpted, great importance was placed on their posture and demeanor during movement, with particular emphasis on delicate areas like the chest.

When she herself is wearing the clothes of the Banshees Queen, she cannot move at all.

Maria still showed some subtle changes...

How big is it?!

How come I couldn't tell at all when you wore hunting clothes before?

Lamaline's expression became extremely conflicted.

"What's wrong... aren't you satisfied?"

Maria tilted her head, looking at Lamaline and silent demeanor, and was also somewhat puzzled.

She rose slightly, pondered for a moment, and then straightened her back.

Her originally gentle and alluring demeanor softened slightly. She imitated the habits of the Banshees, placing her hands lightly on her lower abdomen, lowering her eyes, and her voice becoming clear and slow.

"Is this... appropriate?"

As she spoke, her slightly melancholy eyes gazed at Lamaline beside her.

This made Lamaline turn her head away involuntarily.

Suitable...

It's so perfect!

Maria was completely powerless to resist!

"Very... very good... excellent."

Lamaline waved her hands, momentarily unable to defend herself.

Maria, seeing her like this, turned her head in confusion.

But she noticed that the other Banshees were also turning their heads away, covering their mouths and noses with their hands, and not daring to look directly at Maria.

Her earlobes were pink, her body trembling slightly.

'As expected... if you don't understand the culture, it's hard to pull off their clothing?'

Seeing the Banshees' performance, Maria was slightly disappointed, but she understood that this was not her area of expertise, so she was not discouraged and turned back to her original posture.

Soon after, the staff member in charge outside came in.

When they saw the beautiful princess, they were stunned for a moment. Only after their companions called out to them did they blush and slowly approach Lamaline's side.

"Most of the key personnel in the city have already assembled... What's next..."

As the Banshees murmured in her sleep, she couldn't help but glance at Maria's skirt.

The long, slender skirt didn't completely conceal Maria's delicate feet, which were still visible beneath her exquisite wooden high heels.

Her toes were round and neat, making them incredibly attractive.

White, delicate... it looks so appealing that you want to handle it carefully...

No... Green, how could you think of such a thing?!

This is Her Highness the Princess!

What you're thinking about now is something as treacherous as deceiving the emperor!

The Banshees mentally slapped herself to calm down.

But her constantly shifting gaze still revealed some of her thoughts.

In fact, throughout the entire Banshee Capital, those Banshees who had seen Maria all harbored somewhat unusual thoughts.

It's just that no one has shown it.

"I see."
