Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System-Novel

The next day all of us were in the bathroom getting ready. We had Annie, along with some of Adel’s maids working on doing our makeup and hair. And to be honest, this was the first time I really experienced anything like this before. “Miss Cyrilia. Your hair is amazingly soft.”

“I know, right!?”

“Miss Cyrilia, your skin is as soft as a babies. How do you even do it?”  _-.

“I know, right!?”

And for some reason, every time one of  Adel’s maids compliments me, it is Adel who is answering. Which then, in turn, causes her maids to chuckle. But I will admit that my skin and hair are truly amazing. I do nothing, and they still stay soft and bouncy. No matter how I look at it, I am truly blessed to be this cute…. 

I was not the only one being complimented, though. Sophie, who had red cheeks, was being groomed and pampered even more than me by the maids, even Annie had turned traitor at the sight of Sophie’s soft fluffy tail…. Okay, I forgive her. I mean, who can resist the fluff.

Not to mention that even though Sophie is not trying to be cute, she just ends up looking cute no matter what. But when she was done and her hair was styled up, she looked like a whole different person. She went from the innocent, sweet cute to drop dead gorgeous. Adel really has taste because the dress Sophie was wearing really suited her well, a little too well. Combined with the makeup, new hairstyle, and high heels, she did not look like a teen girl at all! 

As for me? Well, I was wearing a white sleeveless, backless dress that went down to my ankles with silver trimmings and silver high heels to match. I will say that I never expected that the dresses of this world would look like modern dresses from Earth, but they did. I was expecting to have to wear a corset or something, but when I asked Adel, she said that corsets went out of fashion when her grandmother created the current style of dress, and since then, the new dress designs have taken off. 

I do not think I could be any more thankful for this. Because I, for one, did not wish to have to wear such a crazy style dress where it took six people to tighten your corset, and then you had to wear this heavy metal rack around your waist to keep your dress in a bowl shape while walking around. I made sure to pray silently to Adel’s grandmother, the goddess of dresses. 

After everyone was ready, it was finally time to head to the tea party. It was not until we stopped off at a certain place that I realized that the most exciting part about this tea party was not the tea party itself but the means to get there. I was finally going to get to ride on an airship!

The airship dock, while it looked different, it was very similar to a train station with inbound and outbound traffic. There was regular airship transportation to other kingdoms that were in an alliance with Gravos, as well as a few of the other bigger cities that I have yet to visit within the kingdom. But those were the docks for commoners. The docks we were headed to were used by nobles and the royal families. These were where the private airships each higher noble owned were kept. 

I couldn’t hide the excitement as I looked up at the wooden structure in front of me with a huge grin on my face. “Faith, I did not take you to be someone who would get overly excited over an airship, especially since you can fly yourself.”

“Adel, this and that are two totally different things. First off, airships are like giant houses in the sky. Give them enough magic, and they can soar through the air forever. While I would get tired after a long flight. I mean, what couldn’t be more magical than spending a night on an airship high in the sky, flying so close to the stars that you can reach out and grab them with your hands?” I know I was a little out there with my explanation but still. The romance of it all always floated in my imagination when I read s that had such things. This was not like some airplane or private jet. This was an airship like a boat on the water where you can go out on the deck and look out over the railing and see how tiny things look while feeling the wind brush across your face.  Airships always had a kind of romance in my heart which was why when I learned about them, I really couldn’t wait to ride one. 

“I see…. So a nighttime cruise through the stars… I see…” I guess I sparked Adel’s inner airship romanticism as well! It is so nice to have an airship buddy.

As I was smiling away, Adel was mumbling to herself. As For Sophie, she was as quiet as ever. I guess she was getting nervous. I turned and reached out my hand to her, which she did not hesitate to grab. I guess that comfort of having a friend at her side in times when you need them the most was something she desperately needed at this time. Not long after, Adel hooked her arm around my right arm as if taking up position as the three of us stood there waiting for the ship to be finished being prepared. 

“Oh…. I almost forgot. Faith, Grace Dollen likes to put on airs just because she is a marquess’s daughter. She is prone to make rude remarks. The ones who follow her are daughters of counts and viscounts, and all have an air about them using Grace’s status to do as they please. But do not worry with me at your side, you can deal with it as you please.”
