Chapter 75 Doll’s Midnight Carnival Party

"Eh-mate?!"

The fat man's inviting words made Gwen's cheeks turn red.

In the Fuguang Island language, the meaning of this word is quite normal. As long as they live or work together normally, both men and women can be called partners.

However, in the Kamavian language, the word "partner" basically refers to a couple, or lovers who are not yet married but are interested in each other.

In rare cases it can refer to people living together, and there is deep ambiguity.

My relationship with Josh seems to have been misunderstood... What should I do?

Gwen pursed her lips and carefully glanced at the indifferent Josh beside her with her peripheral vision.

[What are you going to do now?] Runesia’s voice was teasing, [Are you going to forget about the little fox so soon?]

"Just going to a party as a dance partner."

Josh's answer was a bit serious, "The core of Gwen's magical power is Isolde's soul fragment, but these ghost dolls are different. I need to investigate clearly...

"Also, I don't really like your 'jokes'."

[Oh~~ I used to say that I was not a decent person, now why are I pretending to be an affectionate and serious person again? 】

The less Josh wanted Lunessia to continue talking, the more she liked to keep talking at this juncture.

[For men, isn’t it normal to have three wives, four concubines, and a few lovers? When Shurima was still around, which of those noble children didn’t have dozens or even hundreds of women? 】

[Even the last emperor, Eagle Father Azir, was merciful at all times, not only with his queen and concubines, but also with the maids and slaves. Anyone he liked would be called directly to the palace, and no one dared to say a single word.]

Josh was too lazy to talk to Lunessia and let her chatter endlessly.

Anyway, as long as he ignored Lunessia, she would say she was tired after a while and shut up.

While briefly communicating with Lunessia, Josh, who had already noticed Gwen's embarrassment, moved directly to stand in front of Gwen, face to face with her blushing face.

"Miss Gwen, do you mind?"

Gwen was even more shy and could not stammer out a complete sentence: "You...I...this..."

No one has ever mistaken her for a male lover before, not to mention that the current situation seems to make mistakes...

Although she just recovered today and got a human body.

She felt nervous and shy inside, but a warm current in her heart quickly calmed her down.

You are already free, if you like it, just do it!

Inexplicably, this idea suddenly appeared in Gwen's mind, just like the guidance from the master Isulde.

Most of the redness on Gwen's face quickly disappeared, leaving only a faint blush, which added to her cuteness.

She nodded slightly and agreed.

Josh smiled slightly, put his left hand behind his back, stretched out his right hand, slightly bent his knees and bowed his body, making an invitation with noble etiquette.

"Can you please be my dance partner tonight?"

Gwen changed the huge scissors to normal size and took them back into her arms, then stretched out her left hand and placed it on Josh's palm, lifted up the hem of her skirt with one hand, and curtsied in return.

“What an honor.”

…

…

"Welcome to the White Porcelain Mansion, dance, drink and have fun with us!"

The plump man invited Josh and Gwen, who were holding hands, into the luxurious foyer. He was probably the host tonight.

From the inside, the castle has at least three levels of looping corridors. It looks like white porcelain, but is made of an unknown material that is very solid. It is matched with exquisitely crafted blue doors and windows.

The crystal chandelier above the head looks like a blooming lotus, with diamond-shaped crystals hanging from it, shining brightly with the magic power of the castle itself.

Josh and Gwen, the last couple, arrived at the party, and the door to the white porcelain castle slowly closed as if it had self-awareness.

Waiting at the door was a tall, thin man wearing a full-covering mask and a yodel standing on the bench, playing a violin similar to a cello but with two connected columns.

An elegant melody plays, with blue-white notes visible to the naked eye floating in the air.

"This party ends at 13:00 midnight~~"

The host put the baton in his hand in front of his mouth, and nimbly floated past several couples of men and women, and then returned to Josh and Gwen again.

His description of time is very strange and completely inconsistent with normal people's thinking.

In addition, Josh also keenly noticed that a wisp of dark mist mixed with a hint of green had penetrated from the door into the foyer and began to erode the magic of the holy mist here.

In less than an hour, this place will be completely invaded by black mist and fogwalkers.

【It seems that this party will not end as planned. 】

Josh originally planned to dispel the invading black mist, but the fat host stood in front of Josh and the black mist, as if he knew his intention and wanted to stop him.

"The orchestra is ready, the stage is ready, the guests are waiting, please come with me!"

Gwen noticed the clues, stood on tiptoes, covered her mouth with one hand, and said in Josh's ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "He seems to have no intention of stopping the invasion of the black mist."

"Look what they want to do." Josh replied.

The host who was leading the way turned his fat body again to see if the two were following. Josh and Gwen immediately returned to their natural appearance, pretending that they had not had any conversation just now.

Along with a few scattered couples of male and female dancers, they all stepped onto the stairs. Josh and Gwen followed closely behind the host and entered the more luxurious party hall.

Everyone was in place, and a shadow emerged from the blue and white magic mixed with a bit of black mist.

The next second, a band host wearing a white porcelain mask covering his eyes, with golden horns growing out of his forehead, and a pure white Kamavian owl standing on his head suddenly appeared.

He has a rounded belly, and his legs are made of translucent green shadows. Combined with white leather clothing and golden carvings, at first glance, the whole person looks like a teapot filled with water.

The band leader waved the baton in his left hand, and the twin violinists who had been playing in the foyer appeared under the high platform in the mist.

A slender girl wearing a half-covered mask, blush, and a corset dress held a lyre that was as high as her, and a white-haired young man sitting in front of the piano emerged from the shadows at the same time.

In just a few moments, a full band is ready.

The mellow host Misty waved the baton excitedly and said with a hearty smile: "Friends, keep playing! Make this concert more exciting than ever before!"

The traditional palace music of Kamavia is ethereal. On the dance floor, a pair of twin sisters wearing the same bustle dress, wearing full-covering pure white masks, and having curly hair similar to Gwen's are the first to step onto the dance floor.

heavy responsibility.

The ball at the White Porcelain Castle kicked off, and all the men invited their dance partners to step onto the dance floor and dance in a dance that only the nobles of Kamavia's court knew.

"This familiar melody is so beautiful and light." Gwen sniffed, her eyes were slightly moist, and she felt a little excited in her heart, "It feels like coming home."

She seemed to have completely forgotten the purpose of coming to the White Porcelain Castle with Josh, and just wanted to dance here.

In other words, Gwen was simply attracted by the aura of the same origin as herself and had no other ideas at all.

But Josh was different. His mind was not at all on the dance party held by the ghost dolls.

The black mist that was eroding the magic of the castle had now seeped into the ballroom from the foyer, far faster than Josh expected.

But most ghost dolls don’t focus on that aspect at all.

It is estimated that after just one dance, the castle's barrier to conceal its own aura will be unable to hold up and will be completely broken by the Mist Walker.

With different thoughts in mind, Josh looked serious, but Gwen stared at the crowd with eager eyes.

[Can you be a little more gentlemanly? Don’t let girls take the initiative to invite you to dance!]

"I'm still looking for the origin of the castle..."

[Stop talking nonsense, I’ll help you find it!]

Lunishia seemed to be recalling some unbearable past events, and urged her with an unyielding voice: [Do you know how important the first dance is to a woman's life? 】

[No matter what the situation is now, you invited the little baby to the party, and you have to be responsible for her! 】

[Now, immediately, quickly, invite me to dance with the little doll!]

Josh sighed silently in his heart, temporarily suppressing his worries about the impact of the black mist on the white porcelain castle, and instead took Gwen's hand, with a smile on his face again, and invited her with aristocratic etiquette.

"Miss Gwen, would I be honored to dance with you?"

Gwen didn’t hesitate: “Of course!”

As a new pair of dancers entered the dance floor, the lively melody suddenly changed, becoming more elegant and affectionate.

It has both Kamavian style and a hint of the rhythm of the former Blessed Islands, as if it was tailor-made for Josh and Gwen.

The dolls' midnight carnival dance has just begun.
