Quick Wear: Who said soft girls have to be obedient! biu!

In the evening of the ball, Catherine put the custom-made dance dress on her daughter herself.

The gorgeous bright yellow dance dress has black polka dots on the upper part. Although this dress is really exaggerated in Gu Zhen's aesthetic taste, it has a unique medieval style when worn.

Even Sophie, who liked red the best, excitedly praised the dress in her mind as beautiful.

She clamored to come out to the dance, but was finally ignored by Gu Zhen.

Catherine also put a wide-brimmed hat of the same color on her daughter's head and a pair of white lace gloves on her hands.

Only then did he pull her into the carriage with satisfaction.

Gu Zhen had sharpened thorns in her handbag and was quite nervous. After all, she was going to meet the legendary witch tonight and feel the magical power of Western magic.

She noticed that Ella was there too. It seemed that Catherine was still afraid that she would report her to the guards, so she had to take Ella with her.

The dress Catherine prepared for Ella was no different from that of a maid and was very inconspicuous. If she were to mingle at the ball, she might be mistaken for a servant in the palace.

But Ella was still beautiful.

She sat in the carriage with her head lowered and her eyes submissively lowered. She was very satisfied with her stepmother's arrangement. Then she could sneak away and no one would notice.

When we arrived at the palace, we could see the brightly lit castle from afar. Carriages were lined up going in, making a grand scene.

If you ignore the sad looks on some people's faces, the party was indeed very well organized.

Gu Zhen followed her mother who loved socializing and moved among various nobles, but they were not very welcome here.

Ella also followed behind, but as soon as she got the chance, she immediately slipped out quietly. Gu Zhen had been keeping an eye on her, and seeing this, she also lifted her skirt and followed her.

The castle was huge and there were people everywhere, so no one really noticed what these two people were going to do.

Ella hummed a song as she walked towards a less crowded place.

Gu Zhen didn't want to follow too closely, so she just watched from a distance as Ella went into the castle garden and disappeared.

.

It was a little dark in the garden. Ella was in a good mood. She listened to the music in the distance and danced with herself.

She was immersed in the atmosphere she created when she heard an old voice.

"Beautiful girl, if you like dancing, why don't you go to the dance?"

Ella was shocked. In such a quiet garden, she didn't hear anyone approaching.

Looking back, she saw an old lady wearing a black cloak, with gray hair and a wrinkled face. Although she had a kind face, Rila thought she was very strange.

Those eyes did not look like those of an old man with good intentions.

Ella politely held her skirt and saluted, "Thanks for the reminder. I will be back to the dance later. I am sorry to bother you."

The person who came was the witch. She was very satisfied with the person the prince had chosen this time. She was a young, delicate and pure girl, and her blood must be very sweet.

"Your dress is too ordinary," the witch said with some regret, "It's a pity that His Royal Highness the Prince won't notice it at first sight."

Ella became alert and took a step back unnoticeably.

The witch tucked her hands into her cloak and said, "I can help you put on the most beautiful dance dress and become the most eye-catching princess tonight. How about that? Are you excited?"

“No… no need,” Rilla saw her hand sticking out from her cloak like a rotten dead wood. She couldn’t help but take a few steps back. “Thank you for your kindness, I don’t think I need to… ah!”

Before she finished her words, the witch had already waved her hands, muttering something, and a golden magic wand appeared in her withered hands. The light gathered at the tip and turned into a meteor, flying towards the bewildered Ella.

The gray skirt on Ella fluttered in layers, and she was forced to turn around. When she stopped, the skirt had turned into a gorgeous dance skirt, so dazzling that it looked like a star fallen to earth.

The fair skin that was stained by dust also saw the light of day again and restored its original appearance.

Ella was terrified and not happy at all. It turned out that the legendary magic really existed, and the person in front of her was a witch?

She wanted to take off the skirt but found that she had no idea where to start. The skirt fit her tightly, as if it was grown on her body.

"No!" Ella cried in a low voice. "Give me back my clothes! Ah! What is this!"

Suddenly, there were a few more mice and lizards under her feet. The witch pointed her magic wand and they grew up shakily and became the most humble and polite servants, but they held whips in their hands.

With the kindest smile, he whipped Ella's feet with a whip. Ella cried out in pain and was forced to run.

She was barefoot, her delicate skin was stung, and blood was faintly flowing out. The witch smiled grimly: "Go, the prince's crystal shoes are waiting for you..."

Gu Zhen hid behind a statue behind them and watched the scene with bated breath.

The magic that should have been romantic and mysterious actually contains a deadly trap. The witch looks so old, it is obvious that she can't wait to suck fresh blood.

If we don't take action tonight, once she recovers all her magic, no one will be able to defeat her within a year. How can an ordinary person like Gu Zhen fight her?

I'm afraid there's no chance to get close.

Ella had been driven away, leaving the witch standing alone.

She was shaking.

As the original plot says, if the witch had not exhausted her last bit of strength by using magic on Ella, she would not have been in a hurry to enjoy the food that night.

Gu Zhen took out a thorn from her handbag and quietly approached the witch.

She was wearing high heels, and even if she walked lightly, the sound still reached the witch's ears. The witch immediately turned around with a sullen face and stared at Gu Zhen sinisterly.

"who are you?"

Gu Zhen didn't waste any time talking to her. He rushed over and hugged the witch. He grabbed her wrist holding the magic wand with his left hand. He felt a chill in his hand, and it felt as rough as old tree bark.

The witch's wrinkled and chapped face was distorted hideously. She was weak and did not have much strength. She was pinned to the ground by Gu Zhen and could not move.

With her free hand, she waved around, trying to push away the girl who suddenly attacked her. Gu Zhen pulled open the witch's heavy cloak and was frightened by the thin and old body inside.

I don’t know if this is a kind of backlash, the witch’s body is like a dying old man, without a trace of life.

The witch screamed miserably. Her body, which she was most ashamed to be seen, was exposed outside her cloak, which directly angered her.

Muttering something, the witch's magic wand emitted a lavender light. Gu Zhen did not dare to hesitate and raised the thorn to stab her chest. The witch grabbed her wrist with her other hand.

The thorn was only an inch away from piercing.

"What is this?!" the witch screamed in horror. She felt a fear deep in her soul, as if it was a foreshadowing of death.

After failing to hit the target the first time, Gu Zhen knew that she would not be able to succeed again, so she had to leave and look for another opportunity. She rolled over on the ground, and the witch's magic wand swung towards her.

A ball of purple light burst out from the place she had just left, and exploded into countless pieces with a bang.
