Going Out
Norah assigned the maid to bring a beautiful gown for Yela to get changed. It was initially prepared for Derila, but surprisingly it fitted Yela perfectly.
Somehow, the long dress transformed into a middle-length one for Yela as she was a lot taller than Derila. Thus, she looked exceptionally gorgeous with her slender legs revealed.
In the meantime, Derila was lying idly on the sofa while munching an apple. Gazing at Yela's tall and slender figure, she gasped admiringly, "Ah! That's what an international model should look like! Look at your pair of stunning legs!"
"Haha! You're adorable too, " Yela blurted out before adding sheepishly, "You look pretty too!"
Derila only flashed her a faint smile without uttering any words. She had been leading a simple life all the while and scarcely spent time on daily grooming.
Nonetheless, she was highly confident in herself. After all, she was well aware that she possessed other capabilities over the others.
Hmph! This Ms. Yela is apparently good at flattering others. I can easily see through her insincere smile and countenance. She's obviously not as innocent as she seems and can never be the type of a sincere friend! Anyway, Derila did not bother about that as she was not interested in building a friendship with Yela. Her ulterior motive was to leave the place with the latter's help.
"Ms. Riri, how did you get to know Daemon?" Yela questioned. She started addressing Daemon with his name again when he was not around.
"I can't recall it, " Derila replied placidly, shrugging her shoulders.
Yela's eyes widened in disbelief. "Huh? How could you forget about such an important matter?"
Nevertheless, Derila continued to munch on her apple without any response.
Looking into the mirror, Yela scrutinized Derila's reflection discreetly and mumbled wittingly, "I've fallen for Daemon ever since I set my eyes on him during a banquet five years ago…"
Before she could finish her words, Derila mocked, "You're undoubtedly mature for your age. You were still underage five years ago, weren't you?"
"Ehm…" Yela was rendered speechless at her mockery.
"When do you plan to bring me out?" Derila cut the crap. That was what she minded most at the moment.
"Whenever you like!" Yela plastered a smile on her face.
"Let's go now. I'll get changed first." Derila sat up on the sofa and tossed the apple core into the bin nearby.
Yela was astounded, but she restrained herself from asking further. "Okay! I'll wait for you downstairs."
"Okay!" Derila responded and sent the maid away. After getting changed, she found her bag in the wardrobe.
That was the one she was carrying when she was previously shot. She could not resist heaving a sigh of relief after catching sight of her identification card and phone in it. With that, she presumed Daemon did not spot those items. Otherwise, he would have known about her exact identity.
After taking out the other unnecessary items from the bag, she changed into a black dress and put on a pair of Dr. Martens boots taken out from the wardrobe.
When she was descending the stairs later, she overheard Yela asking Daemon warily, "Dan… Ehm… Mr. Lierger, Riri requested me to bring her out. Is that all right?"
"Bring her out? For what?" Daemon asked quizzically with knitted brows.
"She mentioned that she's bored stiff here and requested me to bring her out to get some fresh air. I thought I'd better let you know about it first, " Yela explained, smiling sweetly.
Donald chuckled. "It's a good idea for both of you to go sightseeing. After all, Daemon is always occupied and can't accompany her. I bet she must be bored in the castle. Yela, Ms. Riri is not only our honored guest but also your future cousin-in-law. You must entertain her well, okay?"
"Uncle Donald, I got it." Yela nodded and caught sight of Derila descending the stairs. She rose at once and advanced toward her, "Ah! Riri, you're ready!"
"Yeah! Let's go!" Derila urged Yela.
She could scarcely wait to step out at once. When I'm in town later, I'll grab the opportunity to rush to the airport and leave this country!
Daemon rose to his feet and stated casually, "You're still not well. Let me accompany you."
Derila replied hastily, "It's all right. We plan to go shopping. You'll be bored tagging us along. Anyway, we won't be long and will be back soon."
"Daemon, don't worry. I'll take great care of Riri, " Yela reassured him coquettishly as she wrapped her arm around Derila's shoulders. It was as though they were close friends who had known each other for ages.
