When Mariella heard that they're going to play, she was instantly energized.
The previously boneless creature suddenly became an active little kitten.
She hugged Duke Fez's neck and shifted her b*tt to sit more comfortably on Duke Fez's arm.
"Hehehe, quick, quick! Let's go, dad! Should we change our clothes first? What about my hair and eyes?"
Mariella was indeed a bit excited to visit the festival, and her inner childish nature was finally revealed.
But it was really in line with Isabella's childish and selfish nature.
Duke Fez could only pinch the naughty kid's chubby cheek and chuckled.
"Return to the carriage first. I have prepared all the things we needed."
Duke Fez brought Mariella to the carriage and let her change her clothes first.
The carriage had curtains, so it was impossible to see the people inside the carriage.
"Go on. There's a wig and clothes inside. Change into it."
When Mariella saw the box on the carriage's couch, she immediately opened the box and saw clean yet straightforward commoner-style clothing.
The dress was light pink with almost no decorations, but it was quite cute for kids like her.
Not to mention that Duke Fez also prepared a unique and cute pink piglet full-face mask to cover Isabella's face.
There were many visitors who wore cute masks like this, and there were stalls at the market who sold these items.
It's not strange to see people wearing cute full-face masks that only reveal their eyes.
Duke Fez even gave Mariella a black-haired wig, long enough to cover her golden hair.
There were also countless simple hairpins to keep the wig in place.
Mariella immediately changed into the attire that Duke Fez prepared for her, and she immediately transformed into a chubby little piglet.
The dress was simple, but who would have known that there was an imitation tail at the butt part, and it was a curly pig tail?
Duke Fez even prepared a number tag for Mariella along with a small pink bag to hold the invitation.
Although they didn't need it, to blend well with the commoners, they had to wear the white, round number tag and the small pouch with a thin, long rope.
They could tie the rope around their wrist and the it would be like a bracelet with a palm-sized pouch pendant.
After dressing up, Mariella ran out of the carriage and immediately dashed to Duke Fez's place with reddened eyes.
Before Duke Fez could react, Mariella already pounce on his legs and screamed.
"You bully! Why did you buy this kind of dress?! I'm not a piglet! Pooh! You rebel!!"
Mariella was really ashamed when she realised that Duke Fez dressed her up like a little pig.
She even had to wear a hairband with small pig ears! Blasphemy!
Duke Fez looked at the black-haired, red-eyed kid wearing a full-face pink pig mask plus pig ears headband and a dress with a small pigtail at the back.
He suddenly couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hahahah! A piglet! It really suits you."
Duke Fez had long been accustomed to Isabella's willfulness, and now, he became more and more daring.
He even dared to laugh at Isabella!
Mariella's eyes widened at Duke Fez's lively laughter, and she didn't know what to do.
She liked Duke Fez's laughter and his bright smile, but she's ashamed to death.
She's not a piglet!
"I'm not a pig! Ahhhh! I'm not fat! Look! I'm now thin! Thin! If I'm a pig, shouldn't I be a swan or something?!"
Mariella kicked Duke Fez' leg, but the man's leg was so solid that she harmed her toes instead...
The baby instantly felt like crying. Her gaze was full of grievance as she looked at Duke Fez, who was having fun teasing Isabella.
"I-if I'm a piglet, then you are also a pig! You're my adoptive father!"
And her birth father, the late king, would be a pig as well.
Duke Fez laughed at Isabella's childish tantrum and subconsciously replied to her with a voice full of indulgence and pampering.
"Okay, okay, we are a pig family. Satisfied?" Duke Fez pushed Mariella away from the carriage softly before entering the carriage himself.
"I'll change my clothes. You wait outside and don't go anywhere. Be obedient, okay?"
Mariella rolled her eyes and snorted. "I know!"
She's not really a child, after all. Why would she suddenly run away without Duke Fez?
Hearing this, Duke Fez nodded in satisfaction and went to enter the carriage. Once the carriage's door was closed, the duke immediately changed his clothes.
He wore slightly cheap clothes for commoners and even wore a pure black wig.
His eyes were still emerald, but the man wore a long, black hoodie to cover his face.
He put his sword aside and changed it to a short dagger. The young man immediately buckled the dagger around his waist, secured inside the dagger's sheath.
With his new look, he truly looked like an ordinary young man who visited the festival with his child.
There weren't many children at the festival, because the main purpose of the festival was to screen talents.
But there were occasionally mothers or fathers bringing their young children along.
Mariella also didn't mind checking these children's talent and if they're really talented, she noted down the parents' number tag.
Then, the secretary would write a few sentences on the prepared envelopes saying that the one chosen wasn't the parents but the child instead.
The children were small, anyway. They didn't waste too much space compared to the adults.
Thus, more and more children participated in the talent festival, especially this year.
There hasn't been any festival for two years already, and the children wanted to play so badly–
Including Isabella and other noble children.
