Chapter 275 - Disguise (2)

I smiled when I had changed into my new outfit. I also plucked out the annoying diamond hairband on my head and inconvenient bracelets. I felt much lighter with a t-shirt and a pair of jeans. My current clothes did seem more informal than what the servants were, but it didn't appear too bad.

When I walked out of the room and into the banquet hall, everyone ignored me. It was like I was invisible to them just as the servants. I smiled as my plan was much more effective than I thought it would be. Now, the fairies and Zane would never spot me inside the crowd.

No one spared me a single glance as I roamed near the buffet table that didn't have any plates. Instead, all the finger-sized food floated a bit above the tablecloth with mana. Even the cups seemed to be made out of softer material.

Thinking I was a servant, the guests started to pass me their empty cups. When I passed the cups to the actual servants, they noticed I was dressed differently from them. One of their eyes narrowed, "how did you get inside here? Did you get an invitation?"

"Let me call the host," another person walked away.

"I did get an invitation," I shot them a look to lower their voices.

But I didn't have the invitation with me right now. Luke was the one who handled all these things for the both of us. I wondered why they couldn't just leave me alone and think that I was a servant in a different outfit.

"Just because we're at an event during social week doesn't mean we have to dress like this, do we?" I pointed out their extravagant clothes.

"Everyone knows there's a dress code to get in. Are you even from the first district?" She became more suspicious.

"Look. I'm trying to hide from something so it's a special circ.u.mstance. I'm sure you heard about the fairies," I hinted.

So stop turning everything into a big deal and leave me alone! At this rate, I was quickly attracting more attention than wearing a party dress. Why were so many people attentive about these kinds of stuff during social week?

"She's hiding from something. She must be a trespasser," she mumbled to her partner.

Did they just leave out the part that I was hiding from the fairies? It appeared like these people couldn't be reasoned with. I decided to walk away until I noticed Ethan walking towards my direction.

"I'm not a trespasser," I grabbed onto Ethan's arm.

Ethan's eyes widened when he found me in a new outfit. He shot me a look like what the heck I was thinking. The guests stepped a few steps back when they saw my relationship with Ethan.

"Can I know the problem?" He turned to the guests.

"We just thought it was a particular outfit," she gestured.

"Just tell her I'm an oddly dressed servant. I'm trying to hide from the fairies," I pulled Ethan closer to me to whisper into his ear.

"They're here?" Ethan froze. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/my-bothersome-life_10609696606076405/disguise-(2)_48830587347205622 for visiting.

"The last time I saw them today, they were at Haruka's mansion," I let him know.

"You owe me one," Ethan grumbled before facing the others to explain.

"Rika is one of my fraction members. She's dressed this way for a confidential mission," he lowered his voice as he made up a story.

"Oh, I apologize," they immediately seemed to understand.

"It's fine. You couldn't have known the details in our fraction," I smiled.

So please continue to ignore me and treat me as if I am invisible. I would rather for you to treat me as a servant than something like this to happen again. If Luke ever found out, he may not be so lenient on me anymore.

The small circle began to disperse like nothing had happened. In return, I knew I would have to help Ethan out with Sprinkle's food supply again. But thankfully, the hidden part of the courtyard was easy to access.

"It would've been better if you wore a poor dress. They would have thought you came from a minor family who were barely able to come here due to their connections," Ethan sighed.

"Do you think Luke would let me wear something like that? I barely managed to get these clothes," I pulled on my t-shirt.

"Ethan," I tugged on his shirt when I noticed Liam near the entrance.

"One of them is actually here," I wondered why he was here alone.

Wasn't he supposed to be following Ella like usual? Why come here on his own?

"What?" Ethan spun around.

"He's the one with the white hair, large blue eyes, wearing that white blazer to match his looks," I described his appearance.

"I'll have to send a message to everyone," Ethan quickly typed.

Liam scanned the crowd like he was trying to find someone. It couldn't be me, could it? It was totally me when he only looked at the girls. In fact, he focused on the ones wearing the most luxurious and expensive dresses like my previous dress I changed out of. I knew they were finding me this way!

I tried to hide behind Ethan as Liam continued his search for me. There was no better person to use as a shield. Knowing that Liam fully understood the etiquette of the first district, I hoped he would leave, thinking there would be no way I wore cheap clothes to avoid him.
