I don't want to be a dragon maid!

"why?"

Shelley said instinctively.

"Because ever since I held Lord Shelley's hand, it has been trembling and his palms are sweating..."

Noah's voice carried a hint of mockery, but more so the same sweet, alluring quality he had shown before.

“Lord Shelley, your heart has been beating very fast since the beginning…”

Chapter 103 A Gift for a "Friend"

Shelley didn't speak, but the steam rising from her head spoke volumes about her attitude.

Noah smiled and didn't say anything more, but let Shelley pull her forward slowly.

The fact that Lord Shelley did not refuse speaks volumes...

Of course, Noah did not intend to force Lord Shelley.

Lady Shelley is willing if she wants to, and unwilling if she doesn't. Noah, don't worry, she can wait patiently...

The two of them walked along the bustling street for a while, Shelley's eyes constantly scanning the shops along the roadside, trying to find something.

A moment later, Shelley's eyes lit up. She stopped and turned to look at Noah, her expression somewhat nervous, and muttered to herself.

"Noah..."

"Lord Shelley, what's wrong?"

Noah had been watching Shelley intently. When Shelley turned around, she smiled gently and said...

"Um... um, Noah, actually, a friend of mine has a birthday coming up, and another friend of mine wants to give that friend a present..."

Shelley lowered her head, her toes rubbing against the ground as she spoke softly.

"Noah, which of these stores do you think is the most suitable?"

A friend?

Noah noticed Shelley's somewhat timid expression, and a thought struck her.

Could it be that Lady Shelley wants a gift from me, or perhaps she wants to give me a gift...?

"Lord Shelley, may I ask what kind of person Noah's other friend is?"

Nuo said with a smile.

"What kind of person..."

Shelley looked up at Noah, then lowered her head again, kicking at the stones at her feet, pouting, and whispering,

"She's a big bad guy. She's very gentle, loves taking care of others, and loves to laugh... but she's actually a super, super, super bad guy."

"A big bad guy..."

Noah gave a helpless smile. Shelley was being far too direct. Was that a compliment or an insult?

"Anyway, Noah, tell me which store you like and what items you prefer..."

Shelley realized she had said something she shouldn't have, and she looked up at Noah, glaring at him angrily.

"Alright, alright, Lord Shelley, Noah will go and make the selection now."

Noah looked around at the shops; this place could be described as a shopping street, lined with shops selling clothes, jewelry, books, and more...

A wide variety of goods.

However, in contrast, the prices on this commercial street, at Noah's glance, start at at least at ten silver coins, and slightly more expensive ones reach one gold coin.

Noah noticed that if he lingered in front of some of the more expensive jewelry for even a short while, Lord Shelley would show a very tense expression and start gesturing with his fingers.

It seems like they're calculating how many days it will take them to buy that item.

Noah knew Shelley's wealth; if Noah's earnings weren't taken into account, it would only be enough for her daily expenses, leaving her with no extra money to buy these luxury items.

However, if Lady Shelley wants to give a gift, she must have her own methods... But as Lady Shelley's maid, Noah certainly can't just buy the most expensive one; she has to choose the best gift from among them.

Noah quickly stopped in front of the jewelry store, and her eyes immediately fell on the sparkling diamond bracelet.

In this dazzling jewelry store, this diamond bracelet is like a little sun, instantly overshadowing the brilliance of all the other jewelry.

Sparkling gems... sparkling gems...

Noah wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, leaned over the glass cabinet, and the tail hidden under the maid's skirt swayed gently.

If I had such a gem, my treasure would be even more perfect.

This brings her one step closer to becoming a dragon with its own treasure.

only……

Noah glanced at the price, and it was like a bucket of cold water that extinguished her impulse.

Let alone Lord Shelley, even if Noah wanted to buy it, he would have to give up at least half of his current wealth.

Robbery!

"Noah, do you like this gemstone bracelet?"

Shelley slowly stepped forward and asked cautiously.

“Lord Shelley, this gemstone bracelet is indeed very tempting, but it’s not what I’m after…”

Noah glanced at the gemstone bracelet once, then left the counter with a heavy heart.

She walked to another counter, pointed inside, and said...

"It's this bracelet."

Shelley followed Noah's gaze and saw two bracelets among a pile of bracelets inlaid with various gemstones that stood out from the crowd...

To be precise, they stand out from the crowd, since the other bracelets are inlaid with gemstones, while these two bracelets are not inlaid at all, and have five holes for setting on the surface.

There are two bracelets, one light red and the other light blue.

"Isn't this the lowest grade of spiritual artifact? It doesn't have any spirit stones or gems, it's just a simple decoration..."

Shelley looked at Noah and said with some dissatisfaction.

“You can’t say that, Lord Shelley. Although these two bracelets are the most ordinary, their significance is that they are most suitable for your two friends.”

Noah shook her finger, a mysterious smile on her face.

"significance?"

Shelley paused slightly, then said softly.

“That’s right, Lord Shelley. Giving gifts doesn’t necessarily mean giving the most expensive ones. The meaning behind the gift is also very important.”

Noah said with a hint of smugness.

"But what meaning could these bracelets possibly have?"

Shelley said, puzzled.

"You two guests really have good taste; they actually took a liking to this bracelet at first glance."

At this moment, the shop owner came over, showing a friendly smile.

"These bracelets can be freely fitted with spirit stones and have skills freely allocated. They are also extremely durable. Most importantly, these two bracelets are a pair of couple bracelets. It is said that if these two bracelets are used properly, they will have special abilities."

"Couple bracelets?"

Shelley looked on in astonishment, staring at the bracelets with a complex expression in her eyes.

"Yes, there's a discount if you buy these bracelets, a 20% discount. I wonder if the customer..."

The proprietress said with a smile.

"But I just want to buy a bracelet..."

Shelley hesitated for a moment, her face flushed slightly, and she spoke softly.

"Lord Shelley, may I buy the other bracelet?"

Noah looked at the bracelets and quickly said...

"Hey Noah, what are you going to do with this bracelet?"

Shelley looked at Noah and said with some surprise.

"Of course, it should be given to a friend of a friend."

Noah looked at Shelley, who had a gentle smile on her face.

Chapter 104 A Gift for an Idiot

"Welcome, please come again next time."

At the proprietress's shout, Noah and Shelley walked out of the shop, each carrying a gift box decorated with ribbons.

Shelley looked at Noah curiously. She hadn't expected that Noah had also bought that bracelet, and that it was a matching couple bracelet with hers.

Is it meant to be given to someone else, or given to myself?

Shelley was very concerned, glancing at Noah every few tens of minutes, trying to glean something from his smile.

However, Shelley soon found out the answer. She had only taken a few steps when she stopped and handed it to Shelley.

"Lady Shelley, this bracelet is now yours."

Noah said it very frankly.

"Noah, weren't you going to give this bracelet to a friend?"

Although she was already mentally prepared, Shelley was still slightly startled and said somewhat flusteredly.

"Yes, it's for a friend. That friend is someone Lord Shelley knows, so let Lord Shelley pass it on."

Noah spoke naturally, tapping her lips and smiling as she spoke.

"Please just say a few words for me to that friend: this bracelet is enough to represent my feelings. I will always be by your side and never leave you."

"Uh... this..."
