The Contrast

Kruel gently pressed Evillene's hand and the woman had to calm down.

His mother was angry and he didn't like that.

Well, after just one few exchanges of words things became tight and then the rest of the dinner came to rest in utter silence.

"Well, let me send you to your room. You guys must be tired after such a long journey. Especially both princess Silja and princess Genevieve," Kruel wiped his hand and stood up from his seat.

He looked at Silja and then with his eyes slowly met Genie.

Coincidentally the girl was also looking at him.

In just a fleeting moment he scanned her whole appearance.

The girl was wearing a long yellow gown which seemed to be longer than her size. Quite a large portion of the dress was dragging on the floor.

The dress was not tight as regular women used to wear. 

Her hair was combed in small braids from the front while were cascading down freely from the back.
