Lucan blinked in surprise as his eyes fell on Julia, standing at the entrance of the staff dormitory. She looked entirely different from her usual self. Dressed in an elegant white gown that shimmered softly under the evening light, she looked more like a noblewoman attending a grand ball than the feisty, tsundere adventurer he was used to seeing.
The gown clung to her slender frame, accentuating her curves while flowing gracefully down to her ankles, with a slit at the side that offered a glimpse of her long, shapely legs. The fabric was smooth, delicate, and embroidered with silver patterns that shimmered subtly with each movement.
Her hair, usually tied back in a practical ponytail, was now styled into soft waves that cascaded down her back. The front of her hair was parted elegantly, framing her face, with a few loose strands delicately curled to highlight her features. A silver hairpin with a small gemstone added a touch of elegance to her overall look.
