Despite the lack of exaggerated adornment, her appearance itself brought a strong visual impact. That pure white hair and coldly incomparable features stood out especially amidst the solemn knight array and the dignified backdrop of the Lord's mansion.
From the crowd came several low, suppressed gasps, clearly awed by the suddenly revealed striking beauty.
A glimmer of surprise was also evident in Su Li's eyes but was soon replaced by incredulity. The description in Philis's letter of "able to ignite the cold hearth" at this moment had a very direct correspondence.
This is... the surprise Philis sent?! A woman for me?!
Hilude hummed indifferently and chuckled, "Philis is truly thoughtful. Is she worried we won't take good care of the Lord? She sent a beauty from the Sulande Province over a thousand miles. But it does match their Province's characteristic of producing beauties."
More than just matching!
