216: Chapter 116 Wing Helmet 216: Chapter 116 Wing Helmet “I have already accepted your hair ornament…
I can’t take any more valuable gifts…”
Olivia shook her head and hands vigorously as she looked at the beautiful and exceptionally novel dress, speaking, which ironically made her blush.
She had originally intended to take Leon to see the surprise she had prepared.
She hadn’t anticipated that he would want to give her another valuable item.
“I originally went to the tailor’s shop to buy this dress as a token of thanks for your help,” Leon said, feigning distress as he spread his hands and sighed, “and besides, this was custom-made to fit your figure.
If you don’t accept it, well, I certainly can’t give it to Kovis, can I?”
Downstairs, the blond youth who was cleaning his sword shivered and sneezed hard, feeling an inexplicable chill down his spine.
Finally, she convinced the girl, who was hard to persuade.
Leon went outside, closed the door, and stood at the threshold with his arms crossed, humming a pleased tune: “~Hmm~♪.”
From behind the closed door, the faint rustling sound of clothes being put on gradually emerged.
Not long after, the room echoed with the girl’s voice, surprised and puzzled.
It shouldn’t be hard to wear, should I call Lena to help you?” Leon turned and asked through the door.
“No, no need,” Olivia replied quickly, holding the thin black velvet tights and turning back toward the door.
After a while, putting aside her shyness, the girl called her lover inside: “Leon, I’m dressed.”
Full of anticipation, Leon turned and gently pushed the door open.
As he clearly saw Olivia, transformed and radiant, his eyes widened in amazement and his lips curved uncontrollably.
His wish fulfilled, he felt content with life…
The white collared top clung perfectly, outlining Olivia’s beautiful youthful figure.
A blue satin ribbon tied into a cute bow adorned her chest, echoing the hair ornament pinned up behind her head.
The deep blue skirt clung to Olivia’s slender waist, and below its knee-length hem, black velvet tights wrapped around her delicate legs.
The girl’s face felt slightly warm, and she couldn’t help but cross her hands over her chest, pretending to adjust the bow to hide her embarrassment.
She tiptoed, getting used to her brand-new boots, and feeling the thin tights clinging to her skin stirred a strange feeling within her.
It was almost embarrassingly like wearing nothing under her skirt.
However, she couldn’t fit her thick square shorts under the tight tights.
Thus, the girl ended up wearing the shorts over the tights, under her skirt for a feeling of security, unknowingly inventing the detestable way of wearing safety pants a century early…
Leon looked up at the girl and asked, “How is it?
He surveyed her youthful and stylish outfit, which was quite out of sync with the current era.
Leon felt delighted inside, struggling to suppress the urge to embrace her.
“Um, it fits well, thank you, it’s just…
these clothes are too beautiful, I definitely can’t bear to wear them normally.” Feeling Leon’s enthusiastic gaze, Olivia felt slightly uneasy, fiddling with her hair and looking away towards the copper mirror on the table.
“This beautiful white top could be hard to clean if it gets dirty, might need to use soap.” Turning, she pretended to check her clothes while sneakily gauging his expression through the reflection.
Seeing Leon’s undisguised adoring gaze, a sweet feeling swelled in Olivia’s chest.
Seeing her beloved’s eyes full of her, she naturally felt confident and happy.
“It’s casual wear, you should wear it more often, there’s nothing to hesitate about, but the white top…
I indeed didn’t consider that,” Leon thought about getting a few more casual outfits in other styles and colors next time, perhaps adding another jacket?
He toyed with the idea of having fun dressing her up.
But in those days, washing clothes was indeed troublesome.
Soap and other such items were quite luxurious and expensive, and ordinary clothes were generally cleaned with some special plant products, or concoctions of ash, salt, vinegar, and the like, with expected results.
Even many of the poor lower classes had to wash their clothes with ash mixed with urine, a practice that had initially shocked Leon.
I will accept that gift, but I also have something for you,” Olivia, now accustomed to the dress, turned around with her hands behind her back, revealing her original intent.
Leon was puzzled momentarily, then his brows lifted, a strong sense of anticipation rising, curious about what the girl had prepared for him.
“Um, come with me~” Olivia nodded, took Leon by the hand, and led him out of the room with lively steps.
They went downstairs to the storage shed in the backyard.
Pushing open the door, they entered the armory, and Leon was brought to a wooden table on the side lined with weapons.
Three wooden boxes, one large and two small, were placed on the table.
The large box was square, seemingly spacious enough to hold a basketball.
The two smaller ones were somewhat flat and elongated.
Olivia picked up the large square box and handed it to Leon.
Dragging the wooden box across the table, it sounded quite heavy.
“This is for you, I had your father help with the size and structure, it should definitely be suitable, I tried to customize it according to the design you described, but I don’t know if you will like the final product,” the girl handed over the box.
Leon grew more curious, not even recalling what he had described in conversation with Olivia.
He pried open the clasp and lifted the lid to look inside, feeling momentarily dazed.
