Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 717

Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 717

One look was all it took for Elise to know what went wrong with Abby’s art work.

What the girl embroidered was a piece where a sea dragon emerged from the

sea.

However, the dragon had soulless eyes that did nothing to make it look majestic

at all.

This was supposed to be a trial that would put Abby’s embroidery skills to test,

but it was because of this minor detail that her work didn’t turn out as perfect as

it should.

Enter title…

After a brief moment of thinking, Elise whispered to Abby while the organizer

was still in a heated debate with Ekaterina.

As if there was hope again, Abby brightened after she listened to what Elise had

to say.

After solemnly nodding her head, she walked back to her assigned spot with

confidence and picked up the needle again.

No more than 20 minutes had passed when Abby headed in the judge and

Ekaterina’’s direction, her embroidery tightly held against her chest.

“I am afraid you have misunderstood, Ms.Miiyagi.The reason why the

organizers have not given out the awards after so long is not because we

Cittadelians can’t afford to lose.There is a legitimate reason for it.”

Abby’s attitude was neither inferior nor haughty.

“What is it, then?”

Ekaterina asked with a voice full of suspicion.

“You will know it when you see it’ As Abby finished speaking, she held the

embroidery in front of her and faced it in the direction of the judge and

Ekaterina.She then looked up at the sun in the sky and bit by bit, adjusted the

angle.

A miracle seemed to happen right before their eyes in that instant.

The lifeless eyes of the dragon seemed to come alive under the sunlight.

Looking carefully, the judge and Ekaterina even thought that the dragon’s eyes

were blinking.

However, as they got closer, they realized that it was just a trick on the eyes

caused by the refraction of light and the formation of shadows.

“Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!”

The judge couldn’t help clapping his hands.

“Miss Mellor, could this be the long-lost ‘Fluffy Stitch’ method that you have used

in your work?”

Abby pursed her lips and nodded with a light smile.

“It is,” she confirmed.

“What a talented youth!”

The judge kept nodding as a wide grin spread across his face.

Ekaterina grabbed Abby’s embroidery and grumpily leaned in close to take a

look at those expressive eyes on the dragon’s face.She couldn’t help but find it

strange.She had really lost to Abby in terms of embroidery skills.

This piece of work where the dragon emerged from the sea might not have

completely defeated her, but those eyes alone had been embroidered with

extreme expertise.

“Are you trying to destroy our nation’s treasure now that you have lost the

contest, Miss Miiyagi?”

The judge finally sounded much firmer as he raised his eyebrow and challenged

the woman.

Ekaterina glanced at him with stubborness written all over her arrogant face.She

remained motionless for a good minute before she finally conceded.

No matter who the embroiderer of those eyes was, she had still lost to a

Cittadelian in the end.

“Diamond cut diamond.I shall admit defeat this timeI acknowledge the talent in

Cittadel.However, this does not mean that this is all I have to my embroidery

skills.Today, in front of all of Salt Stone City, I would like to propose a challenge

to your new national champion.I wonder if Cittadel is brave enough to take the

challenge, though.If I win, embroidery will be declared as an intangible cultural

heritage in Rosepeak in the future!”

Her condescending words managed to arouse the public’s anger again.

“Just listen to what this Rosepicker wench is going on about! Embroidery is

something our ancestors have passed down to us and yet, she wants it to be an

official cultural heritage in her country? This is blatant disrespect!”

“What?! You think your puny country can hold the legacy of embroidery and

keep its name alive? How much more shameless can you get?!”

“Kick the Rosepicker out of here!”

Rosepeak had once invaded Cittadel in the past century, and that history alone

had ingrained a deep hatred for Rosepickers within every Cittadelian.
