A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 4] Chapter 103
[Vol. 4] Chapter 103: Coming Soon
After finishing the official matters, it was time for some fun!
Although Amelia mentioned taking Ifia to see “good stuff,” there was no immediate intention to set off. Instead, she led Ifia to stroll around the Camus town, exploring the local ice sculptures.
The indigenous people of the Camus territory didn’t have many skilled craftsmen, so the ice sculptures were not particularly exquisite.
However, they compensated for it with a magical touch. Torches were placed inside the finished ice sculptures, creating a glowing effect from the outside, which looked quite beautiful.
Unfortunately, it was daytime. The effect would be even better if observed at night. Nevertheless, the Camus Town was quite small, and there wasn’t much to explore. After making sure Ifia didn’t feel any regrets, Amelia took the reins of the horse from Captain Fern.
In order to play with Ifia, Amelia intentionally changed out of her long dress into more convenient attire. She mounted the horse gracefully, with an impressive posture that made it hard to shift one’s gaze away from her.
Amidst the snowy landscape, Amelia, clad in riding attire, rode on horseback. Her silver hair fluttered in the cold wind, and her purple eyes, slightly lowered, exuded a warm and inviting demeanor.
Ifia, who was being observed, couldn’t help but giggle and offered her hand toward Amelia. Facing such a tall horse, Ifia felt she couldn’t mount it by herself unless she sacrificed all sense of dignity and used hands and feet together to climb up.
However, the guards of the Barlen family were still standing by, and under their watchful eyes, Ifia felt the need to maintain some dignity. Once Ifia extended her hand, Amelia immediately understood her intention.
She swiftly rode a few steps forward, then bent down quickly, reaching out to Ifia and pulling her up onto the horse with a tight embrace. Once Ifia was in front, Amelia urged the horse into a gallop, leaving the guards behind.
Before riding off, Amelia had made it clear that they didn’t need to follow. The guards, accustomed to obeying orders, didn’t raise any objections on the spot.
Initially, Ifia thought it might be due to their fear of noble influence, but upon further consideration, she realized it was likely because these guards knew how strong Amelia was.
They probably didn’t need their protection at all. After all, these guards were sent by the Barlen family, and they knew more than outsiders. They had more confidence in Amelia Barlen.
As they rode away energetically, the Camus Town gradually turned into a silhouette. Thinking about this, Ifia couldn’t help but tug on Amelia’s sleeve and asked, “Amelia, how much farther do we have to go?”
When they left everyone behind, Ifia looked around and realized they were now in a world covered in white snow, surrounded by dim and gloomy skies.
She was not sure what ‘good stuff’ Amelia was going to show her!
“Almost there.”
After Amelia’s words, it didn’t take long before the galloping black horse came to a sudden stop.
When Ifia was lifted down from the horse by Amelia, she looked around again, still surrounded by vast stretches of white snow, with no other colors in sight.
This left Ifia puzzled, wondering what Amelia had in mind.
“We’re here,” Amelia said, noticing Ifia’s confused expression.
She didn’t put Ifia down from her arms but continued to carry her a few steps forward.
After these steps, the pristine white snowfield started to sink, revealing a not-so-narrow river. However, due to the weather, it had completely frozen over, creating a hard and solid ice surface perfect for ice skating.
Ice skating?
Ifia shook her head gently, immediately dismissing that possibility. There’s no need to come here specifically for ice skating when there are other places to go.
However, just as Ifia was thinking this, Amelia indeed placed her on the ice. When Ifia’s feet touched the frozen surface, she was taken aback. Amelia, with an unchanged smile, reached out and held one of Ifia’s hands, leading her to walk on the ice.
As they moved, the ground under their feet suddenly lit up, prompting Ifia to look down. What she witnessed was a magical scene.
Beneath the solid ice, thousands of tiny blue fluorescent lights illuminated, converging at Ifia’s feet and continually rising and falling in the water.
( °o°) !!
Now, Ifia didn’t need Amelia to lead her, she widened her eyes in astonishment.
She took a few tentative steps forward, and the blue fluorescence moved with her footsteps.
Each time Ifia lifted one foot and set it down, the fluorescence beneath the ice would surge upward and then settle down.
It instantly became fascinating.
Seeing that the blue fluorescence couldn’t break through the ice and even the impact didn’t produce any movement, Ifia’s courage immediately grew.
With a swift slide and a drift at super speed, the blue fluorescence followed Ifia’s continuous movements.
“Amelia, look how beautiful it is!!”
Amelia watched Ifia, who was playing joyfully amidst the shimmering blue fluorescence, she resembled an elf gracefully frolicking among the stars.
At this moment, Ifia’s presence exuded a captivating allure that filled Amelia with an overwhelming desire to protect her radiant smile, as if it were the most precious treasure in the universe.
“Indeed, it’s very beautiful.”
…………
After playing in the blue fluorescence for quite some time, Ifia’s cheeks were still flushed with joy as she ran back to Amelia, her exhaustion masked by the sparkle in her eyes.
Still filled with excitement, she gently raised her hand and enveloped Amelia’s slender waist. Embracing Amelia tightly, she expressed her deep affection.
Since coming to the Camus Territory, Ifia rarely went out, naturally lacking opportunities for such wild play. Although Ifia didn’t find staying at home uncomfortable, who could resist the chance to play freely?
Amelia deliberately brought her here, and Ifia knew it was to make her happy. It was also an opportunity to finally dissipate some of the pent-up frustration.
Tonight, she could sleep well!
Hehe, Amelia cares a lot about her!
“It’s good that you like it.”
“Amelia, what is the blue fluorescence beneath the ice?”
“……”
During the rest period, Ifia curiously inquired, but Amelia raised her index finger to her lips, indicating not to ask.
Seeing this, Ifia’s mouth twitched, understanding that it probably wasn’t something good.
Anyway, who cares?
It’s all about having fun!
After playing heartily and spending several satisfying days watching the aurora with Amelia at night, they finally took a carriage back to Darwa City.
Similar to the journey there, nothing unexpected happened, and with no rush to return, the journey was quite relaxed.
When they finally arrived back at the royal city, Ifia raised the curtain of the carriage window, eagerly looking ahead at the familiar city wall and bustling gate.
She had finally returned home!
After a long trip, Ifia just wanted to take a hot bath and lie comfortably in bed for a good sleep.
However, as soon as Ifia lifted the curtain, she quickly noticed something bothersome.
Why was Prince Carloy waiting at the city gate with people?
