Afternoon. Eve led Stella upstairs to Melissa's room.

Eve wore an ivory white cashmere stand-up collar trench coat, slim black trousers, and flat shoes. The gray waistband tightened her waistline, perfectly outlining her slender waist.

Stella's long straight black hair was tied into a ponytail. She wore a white lace-up coat, a gray and white scarf around her neck, a brown sweater and black pants, and navy blue snow boots. She looked like she had come here to visit them after traveling for a while.

The pair of snow boots were quite wet. After all, they had used teleportation magic to return to the Duke of Impes's Palace before arriving.

Now Eve was holding a plate of cut fruit, and Stella was holding a bag of gifts - just treat it as the first time Stella and Melissa met, so she gave them some gifts to express her feelings~

(It also has the implication of "leave something behind today so we can meet again someday"...)

Stop and take a deep breath. Eve knocks gently on the door.

"Ok?"

Melissa gently opened the door a crack and saw that it was Eve knocking on the door. Her vigilance visibly dropped.

Melissa turned her gaze to the black-haired, green-eyed lady standing next to Eve.

"Ah, it's Eve. This is..."

Seeing Stella's "brainless" look, Eve knew she had to speak up:

"This is Scott's half-sister, Miss Impes, Stella Impes. When she has nothing to do, she will come to visit her two brothers with some small gifts.

"Today I heard that a princess from Orenden came to the camp, so she brought some gifts for you."

"Hello, Princess Melissa." Stella greeted Eve respectfully.

Melissa put her hands together, squinted her eyes and smiled:

"So you are Miss Impess. It's okay, just call me Melissa."

Eve and Stella were both confused by the speed at which Melissa's expression changed - Melissa was so gentle in front of girls?

Eve raised the fruit plate in her hand and said:

"By the way, you've been taking care of your body recently. You have to keep up with your nutrition. Stella happened to bring some fresh fruits, so I cut them and brought them here. Why don't we go in and talk?"

"Sure, I just cleaned up the room."

Melissa smiled and opened the door. She stood beside the door and said to the two of them,

"The room is a bit messy, I'm sorry."

When Melissa opened the door and let them in, the two were first attracted by Melissa's outfit today:

Today, Melissa wore a dark blue velvet dress, grey boots, and a light yellow fur scarf around her neck. Her champagne-colored hair was parted in the middle, and then she simply braided some pigtails...

But the level of braiding made Eve feel itchy.

The two were quickly let into the room and sat obediently on the sofa.

They couldn't help but look at the structure of the whole room:

The room was covered with grey wooden flooring, without the carpets made of various high-quality fabrics that noble families liked to use. There was a large but soft and comfortable bed, and a solid wood dressing table inlaid with a bordered mirror and a few cheap gemstones.

The furniture is all handmade, but the style is outdated.

The multi-layered tulle curtains are made of medium-sized fabrics, the sofas and chairs are small in size but ceremonial, and some beautiful portraits are hung on the plain walls.

Next to the desk was a brown bookshelf coated with tung oil, on which were placed some of Melissa's books stored in the other dimension, as well as some luggage items.

Perhaps because there are not many decorations, the whole room looks empty. If you compare the status of the room owner with its specifications, it is really like "writing an inscription of a humble house overnight".

But on a battlefield, being able to offer such conditions is already good - if it were any other spoiled princess in the royal family, she would probably be furious.

Click.

After Melissa closed the door, she smiled gently and asked Stella:

"I'll go get you some tea. Is there anything you can't eat?"

Stella lowered her head and didn't look at Melissa while putting the gift away: "Everything is fine, just don't prepare plums or anything like that for me."

Eve added quietly, "She's just like Scott, her stomach can't tolerate plums."

“This is a painful lesson.”

"Okay, then I won't put any prunes in it."

They made eye contact while Melissa prepared afternoon tea.

Stella: I didn't expect Melissa to be so nasty to Evan and Scott, but so gentle to Eve and Stella. What a double standard!

Eve: So this is why I asked you to come here as "Stella". Why don't you praise me first?

Stella rolled her eyes at Eve mercilessly.

Then, she noticed that Eve's beautiful red eyes were following Melissa's hair, especially those messy braids.

There is murderous intent in the red eyes.

Stella thought about the many styles of earrings she had found in Ivan's dressing room before and understood:

"Ms. Eve Esther's 'obsessive-compulsive disorder' has begun to act up."

as predicted.

Stella and Melissa sat on the sofa, drinking tea and eating freshly baked desserts while chatting happily.

Eve stood behind the sofa where Melissa was sitting, holding a comb and creating this beautiful champagne-colored hair:

She gently picked up a strand of hair on the left side of Melissa, combed it straight with a comb, and then divided it into three strands. Then she intertwined the left strand of hair with the middle strand of hair, and then intertwined the right strand of hair with the middle strand, and repeated the interweaving, and tied it with a small rubber band halfway through the braid.

The same is true for the strand of hair on the right.

After the hair on both sides were braided into fishbone braids and secured with small rubber bands, Eve found two beautiful bow headbands and tied them on the small rubber bands.

What caught Stella's eye was the exquisite bows made of the headbands. She didn't want to take them off.

She stared blankly at the silver-haired, red-eyed "Sister Eve" and fell into deep thought:

"The soul beneath the beautiful woman's body is a boy! Why is my heart so cold...?"

After the two people's psychological hints and a series of flattering behaviors, Stella finally said the point:

"Melissa, let's put aside the fact that Alvy has been missing for two years. Don't you find it strange?

"Even the Royal Family of Orenden can't find any information about a talented painter who is famous throughout the continent? Don't you find it strange?"

After hearing Stella's question, Melissa thought about the information she had learned about Alvy back then:

All she knew was that Alvy was her age, had no family, no friends, and no nationality.

Except for the times when they were in high spirits and when Alvy was very popular a few years ago, he often traveled around the world to hold exhibitions and appeared in people's vision,

"...Otherwise. I can't find any information."
