Chapter 255, Yevlit: About Friendship

Ballroom.

corner.

"Yevrit."

A beautiful girl with green hair came to Everit.

Everit leaned against the wall and sat on a stool. He asked Emily to use wishing magic to create a small table with various desserts and fruits placed on the table.

As for himself, he was holding a goblet in his hand, which contained a red liquid that smelled like wine. Of course, judging from Everit's character, this must be the drink Mirajane brewed for him.

He shook the wine glass, looking like a noble man who knew how to drink. He looked slightly drunk, and his face and lips were slightly red - in fact, he had just been pranked by Emily and ate a small cake stuffed with chili peppers.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Jade's arrival, Everit stretched his hand forward slightly, letting the other person notice that he was holding a wine glass, and then gently shook the wine-red liquid inside.

"I'm sorry." Jade covered her chest and bowed deeply.

"It's common sense to apologize for exposing your breasts." Everit said casually.

"hiss--"

Suddenly there was a chill.

He turned around and saw that Urrutia, who was sitting next to him, had a scary look in his eyes.

"Ah?" Jade was stunned for a moment when she heard what Evelit said. She looked down and immediately smiled and said, "No, I don't want to offend anyone." As she said that, she glanced at Urrutia .

Urrutia suddenly looked away awkwardly.

"Okay, what's the matter?" Everit shook the wine glass and raised his hand slightly.

Urrutia was speechless: Do you really want to surprise Jade that you are drinking? Jade is the same, just praise him, lest he deliberately make such funny moves.

Jade did glance at Everit's cup, and then noticed that Everit's eyes also fell on it. When he looked up at her again, he felt a little more encouraged.

But Jade didn't talk about this topic.

She took out the broken rattle and said, "It's broken again. Will you help me fix it?"

Jade said this, feeling very uneasy.

She felt that she was too shameless, and it was just the first time. The broken rattle was actually a testimony of the friendship between the two.

But the second time it broke. When she insisted on going her own way, she thought she could abandon friendship for the sake of justice, so she allowed Habib to break it. This rattle was not ordered to be broken by Everit, nor Habib. The one she broke was the one she broke!

But it turns out that she is the biggest fool in the world!

But

Even after making such a big mistake, she knew that she had lost her qualifications, but she still wanted to repair this friendship!

Even if you are rejected, even if you are treated indifferently.

She had thought about countless possibilities in advance, most of which were self-destructive options. However, even if it was one in ten thousand, she still wanted to...

She lost everything - her throne, her position as a princess, and even her surname, and the only thing she could have was the one ten thousandth chance of saving friendship!

She did not dare to look directly at Everit, lowering her head, waiting for a reply.

This period of time was very painful, and it seemed like thousands of years had passed.

It was too long, so long that her eyes blurred and tears fell.

"Emerald." Everit spoke: "Don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me, you are not pitiful."

Hearing this, Jade's body trembled.

"Evrit!" Urrudia felt that he was going to be in trouble after hearing this, and quickly held his hand, trying to stop him from continuing to speak.

"Crying?" Everit asked, "What kind of mood did you have to cry?"

"I" Jade opened her mouth and burst into tears.

She didn't know what to say, she couldn't even speak. She felt like there were sour lemons blocking her throat.

Tears fell one after another, like a heavy rain.

The noisy environment nearby gradually became quiet.

People nearby have noticed the situation here.

"Lucy, you eat first." Mirajane patted Lucy on the shoulder and walked over slowly.

"How can I eat it?" Lucy quickly stuffed the small cake into her mouth, said vaguely, and then followed Mirajane.

Emily and Wendy came hand in hand. They were chatting and laughing, but now their faces were full of seriousness.

Everit's expression was very calm, almost neither sad nor happy about this matter, and he didn't care that he made a girl cry, and the other person was a former princess - even if he was demoted to a commoner, if anyone really thinks that Jade will really be just a princess in the future. Ordinary civilians, that would be too naive.

Jade held the rattle with her small hands, her knuckles turning white, obviously very hard.

Everit stretched out his hand and "rescued" the rattle from Jade's hand.

He looked at the broken rattle and said, "Actually, the rattle never means anything. It has no meaning."

As he said that, he threw the rattle directly on the ground.

‘Wow’

The originally tattered rattle was completely shattered, like tears dripping from emerald, broken into pieces and scattered everywhere.

Jade suddenly trembled, and the trembling was almost unstoppable, and she was about to collapse.

"Yevrit." Erza walked over with a frown: "Don't be too..."

"Erza." Mirajane stopped her in time and covered her mouth, which caused Erza to look at Mirajane in confusion. She just wanted to say "Don't go too far," but Mirajane stopped her. What does she mean? Could it be that he acquiesced to Everit's excessive behavior?

Some were curious, others glared.

Everit didn't care about those people at all.

He said: "Is the rattle important? What if I repair it? Now the royal capital is in ruins, and you and I are standing on the ruins. You hand the rattle to me, and I will give you a good one, and you will be happy. Will you be satisfied and feel at ease?"

Every time he said a word, Jade's body trembled.

Everyone couldn't help but worry. Looking at the petite girl with her head lowered, she was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold up and would fall down in the next second.

"When I was four years old." Evelit suddenly changed the subject and said, "I passed by a shop selling cooked food. The smell was so strong that I can still remember how greedy I was at that time."

"But I didn't have enough money. Then the shopkeeper recognized me as Francis's son and gave me a duck leg without asking for any money. I was very happy——"

"It turns out I'm so popular in this town."

"I came home and my father laughed and let me finish the duck leg, then spanked me hard."

"He said--"

"What you ask for is despicable."

"Later, when I got older, I realized that what that duck leg wanted was not my money, but my and my father's dignity!"

"Later, I learned that sometimes, necessity outweighs dignity."

"But was I forced to do so?"

"." There was silence all around.

When forced to do so, many things are greater than dignity.

But many times, is it really a last resort?

Just like that duck leg, no matter how poor Yefulit was when she was a child, couldn't she still afford a duck leg?

Some people looked confused, some were thinking hard, and some were deep in thought.

Everit said: "I still remember the first time we met, it was at a banquet."

"Father said to me: You can see the princess at the banquet. The most beautiful and dazzling girl is your Majesty's most beloved and proud Princess Jade. In the future, she will inherit the position of Viscount and the glory of the Valliere family. I may be loyal to this princess. As a noble who has enjoyed the honor of Fiore Kingdom for generations, no matter whether I will be reused when I grow up, as long as the kingdom does not abandon me, I will give my loyalty unconditionally. "

Everit was a modern person in his previous life, and to be honest, it was a little hard for him to accept this trick.

But he could not refute Francis, because Francis gave him everything since he came to this world.

Therefore, it is not so much loyalty to the royal family as it is filial piety to his father.

Everit laughed and made a joke: "Did you realize that I am like the owner of the delicatessen?"

No one laughed.

Evelit continued: "In order not to lose face that night, my father specially sold some furniture and gave us, father and son, a set of custom-made suits, but for the nobles attending the banquet, they were still cheap clothes."

"But he didn't have any stage fright, held his head high, and talked and laughed happily even when he was facing the Duke - he was setting an example for me."

"So, I took out the card, and from a poor little nobleman who was despised by everyone when I first entered the house, with my magic show, I convinced all the young noblemen who were richer and had a higher status than mine. Everyone was impressed by me. ——They all showed admiration in their eyes!”

When she said this, Everit's eyes sparkled and her smile became as sunny as Natsu's.

This is the charm of magic!

What Everit likes is never the process of performing magic, or the superb magic skills, or conquering and developing new magic. To put it simply: What he likes is the vanity of performing magic and getting praise!

Everyone has their own opinion about magic.

Francis performs magic because he likes it. When he was a child, his dream was to be a magician. Later, his family became more and more depressed. After experiencing the hardships in the world, he found that he had no skills. This was the only way to make money and support his children.

Everit enjoys the reaction of the audience while performing magic - so his dream has always been a grand magic show in a huge venue with thousands of spectators.

So - it has nothing to do with skills. There are many things that magic cannot do, but deception magic can do it. Then he will definitely choose deception magic, just to get one more look of shock and admiration from the children.

Looking at Everit's flying expression.

Everyone in the guild smiled.

This is Everit. Sometimes she can become so cute. That face that always reminds people of treachery and evil becomes very attractive at this time.

And the girl who has a crush on Everit.

Even my heart melted.

It’s so rare to see Everit like this!

Urrutia, Alice, and Melty all felt that their legs were weak. They felt that Everit was simply a succubus at this moment. If the situation was not right, they would have wanted to pounce on this man and bully him severely.

Even Mirajane, the most stable person, smiled fondly.

Erza also smiled, a proud and proud smile. She looked at Kagura, Minerva and the others, raised her chin slightly, and said silently: Did you see, this is my proud brother, Everit? !

Kagura was speechless, and Minerva turned her head, but she was so angry that her teeth almost broke.

There were also some young nobles present, lost in memories.

They also attended that banquet, and to be honest, they can't remember it clearly.

It was not until Yevlitt mentioned it that they remembered it and immediately fell into nostalgia.

Yevlitt continued: "Then, Her Royal Highness the Princess came over."

"My name is Jadeite, what's your name? She told me so generously."

"I saluted and answered: I am Jadeite de La Valliere, my father is Viscount Valliere."

"She said: Your magic show is really beautiful, but I was standing over there, far away, and I couldn't see it clearly. Can you perform it again?"

"I said: It's my honor, Your Royal Highness the Princess."

"I can see that Her Royal Highness's expression was very happy at the time."

"So I performed it seriously again."

"Then-"

"The princess said happily: Jadeite, you are really amazing, you are different from others, I want you to be my friend."

Hearing this.

Jadeite took a deep breath, she still remembered this beautiful childhood memory deeply.

Yevlit said, "I said: Well, we will be friends from now on."

"My father is very happy to be friends with the princess, and many nobles have congratulated us."

"But I don't think this is a 'pleading' to either party. This is equal and equal. The princess took out the courage and gave me the honor of being friends with the princess. I took out the happiness and satisfaction that the princess needs."

"At that time-"

"It's different from the current situation."

Yevlit imitated the tone of Jade just now and said, "Yevlit, it's broken again, will you help me fix it?"

"Then-"

Yevlit asked, "Jade-are you buying duck legs from me, or... begging me to give you duck legs?"

Jade's trembling body froze.

She suddenly realized something, but couldn't say it, confused.

The smile on Erza's face became more obvious. It's worthy of being Yevlit, who can think so deeply.

Lucy also breathed a sigh of relief.

"This guy." Gray and others also laughed.

"Mr. Gray, Juvia doesn't quite understand." Juvia asked in a silly way.

Gray whispered in her ear: "Friendship is equal, not begged. Jade is in a complicated mood now. She blames herself for getting into trouble, is confused about the future, and hopes to regain the friendship of Yevlit. Maybe she thinks that is the last thing she has hope of having. So she is very humble. But she can't get the friendship she wants, and Yevlit is helping her get out of the psychological shadow this time."

"Mr. Yevlit actually..." Juvia covered her mouth in shock.

No wonder everyone thinks that Yevlit is the backbone of the guild. Even if he is not the president, as long as he is there, everyone will feel at ease. This is not only because of his strength, but also because of the trust and even admiration for him that has accumulated over time!

Stinger, Roger, and Yukino looked at each other and couldn't help thinking: It's so lucky to be able to join Fairy Tail!

"If it is - you want to ask for this friendship." Yevlit said in a cold tone: "But what if I don't agree? It seems that you betrayed the friendship first, right? What will you do next? Beg? Sad? Blame yourself? Regret?"

Emerald pursed her lips tightly.

"Fortunately... that's just your imagination."

After saying this, Emerald blinked and drained the tears that had been accumulated in her eyes for a long time.

'Snap'

Yevlit snapped his fingers and a card appeared in his hand.

This card is different from the ones he usually uses.

He usually uses black background with gold edges.

But this one is covered with mysterious purple lines.

He handed the card out so that Princess Emerald, who was lowering her head, could also see it.

"I said that crying can't solve any problems. It's better to do something within your ability."

Yevlit said: "Our friendship has never been represented by a rattle. It has never been as fragile as you think, or - it will be easily severed."

"I asked Habby to smash the rattle because I guessed that you would insist on your own way. At that time, no one could persuade you, including me. At that time, you became hard-hearted. But I know that you will fail and get into trouble."

"By then, you will be more confused than you are now, and you may not even find a breakthrough."

"So I asked Habby to smash the rattle, because, in that case, you will definitely realize and then save this friendship that you think you have lost everything and that is the only friendship you can get at this time."

"But I want to tell you Yours is——”

“As long as you want, you have never lost your friendship with me and Emily.”

“And you should not act like this.”

“That is useless. It will only get you scolded and lectured by me in public. It is useless.”

Yevlit said: “Don’t mind the rattle. Take it. As a friend, I gave you a gift. What you need more is——”

“This can help you regain your confidence and become the jadeite who confidently said to me, ‘Let me be your friend.’”

Yevlit sighed: “You can’t have things that you give up your self-esteem to obtain. Only when you work hard for it can you be admired... whether it is friendship or everyone’s opinion.”

“Yevlit!”

Emerald snatched the card.

But Yevlit didn’t have time to smile.

Jade suddenly rushed over, hugged him tightly, and said, "Thank you!"

Then she spread her legs, sat on Yevlit's legs, hugged him and burst into tears.

The big stone in her heart fell to the ground, and Jade was completely relieved. Yevlit said crying was useless, but at this moment, she was moved and happy, except for crying while hugging this man, she really couldn't find any other way to vent.

"."

In an instant, Yevlit noticed the changes in everyone's face.

Some froze, some envied, some watched the show, some blessed, and some gritted their teeth.

"." Yevlit realized: his words were too critical!
