"Yes." The servants answered in unison.

When the servants left, Shen Mengdie came to the side of the big butler. I saw a gray-haired healer gently covering the deceased with a white cloth on the side of the bed, and finally turned his head and shook his head at them.

This healer was the old earl's exclusive physician, and when the chief butler noticed that the old earl had an accident, he invited someone over, and he was a little unwilling to give up directly, but as far as the current situation is concerned, everything seems to be useless.

"Condolences."

After saying this, the doctor silently stepped aside.

Shen Mengdie glanced at the expression of the big butler, only to see that the old man's eyes were slightly red, his lips were trembling, and she could only shake her head silently about this situation.

In the next few days, the old earl's affair was quickly completed, and during this time, no storm was raised.

After this, her life gradually returned to normal, but before she knew it, the prince's birthday quietly came, and she was surprised when the butler took the invitation to inform her that she was going to attend the prince's birthday.

"The Prince's Birthday?" Shen Mengdie, who was resting in the small garden, listened to the words of the big butler and looked up at the other party suspiciously.

"Yes, you have to attend the prince's birthday."

"Do you have to go?" She rubbed the ring on her left ring finger and muttered to herself.

The butler of Ulysses probably saw her absent-mindedness, so he replied affirmatively: "Yes, this time there will be a concubine for the prince." ”

"Well......" she paused and sighed slightly. Then go ahead and arrange it in the next few days. ”

"Well, little miss, I'll arrange it now." Now in the whole castle, only the butler of Ulysses would call her so, and the others either called the master or the earl.

"Okay, everything is arranged by the grandfather of the big housekeeper."

Shen Mengdie looked at the people who were gradually moving away, and after being silent for a while, Xiao Huang, the flower elf, slowly stood up and ordered the person beside him: "I'll go out for a walk, you don't have to follow." ”

"But ......"

Before Mona could finish speaking, she had already raised her hand to interrupt the other party's words.

"It's nothing, just do as I say."

"Yes."

"Hmm." Shen Mengdie snorted lightly, answered the other party, and then walked out of the castle with the flower elf Xiao Huang.

She didn't go far every time, just wandering around the castle, studying the magic she had gained.

A few days passed in a flash, and the recent hot topic was the prince's choice of concubine, looking at those chattering women, she just faintly withdrew her gaze, and then turned back to the castle.

…………

By the time the sun was falling, the castle where the king was standing was already full of people, and at the gate, the carriages that had come to the ball were parked.

Every girl has a fairytale dream that the prince will take a fancy to her and become a human being.

"Earl, here we are."

Just as Shen Mengdie was looking at the fantastic castle outside and wandering alone, the coachman interrupted her musings.

"Hmm." She replied softly, and as the driver opened the door, Mona stepped out first, then reached in to help her.

This time she came to the ball, she only brought a personal maid, that is Mona, her idea is to bring people out to see the world, and since the other party came to Ulysses Castle, it has begun to transform rapidly, and now it is not far behind the women who came out of those small nobles.

At this moment, the colorful glow on the horizon has gradually fallen, and the castle is also brightly lit, and there are not a few people like her around.

"Let's go inside." Shen Mengdie explained to Mona, who was already obviously a lot calmer, straightened the mask she was wearing on her face, and followed the crowd into the gate of the castle.

The castle where the king lived was really different, with its majestic gates, ornate decorations, and guards everywhere, all of which made it look solemn.

"What do you think the prince looks like? I've never met a prince before. ”

"I don't know, but with a little nobleman like us, the prince doesn't look down on us, right?"

"I heard that the king has invited all the nobles this time, and it must be very lively at that time."

"Hee-hee, if only the prince could take a fancy to me."

Shen Mengdie walked in unhurriedly, she came quite early today, and there were many people behind her who were rushing to this side. After hearing the comments of the people around her, she turned her gaze to the women, and then looked nonchalantly elsewhere.

She's only here today to go through the motions, and when she can leave, she's ready to go straight back. It was a certain distance from Ulysses Castle, and she thought about rushing back overnight.

"Monna, you must follow me in a while, don't get lost."

"Yes, Lord Count." Mengna's clothes today were specially prepared by Shen Mengdie, so her current clothes didn't look like those of those little nobles.

"Well, pay attention to yourself, all the nobles who came today are nobles." Shen Mengdie subconsciously frowned when she heard the people around her call her, but after shaking her head lightly, she responded lightly and took the lead to walk inside.

"Marquis Evans has arrived!"

"Baron Raleigh has arrived!"

Shen Mengdie watched the people at the door of the dance hall taking their names, so she slowly walked over with the people behind her, and Mengna also handed the invitation in her hand to the other party.

When the roll-call servant opened the invitation, he continued to sing as usual: "Countess Ullysses has arrived!" ”

With this roll call, she slowly walked through the door, and among the people who talked to each other in the hall, the few who knew the situation turned their eyes to this side. Because today is a masquerade ball, everyone has put on masks, although there is no difference between this mask and the absence in front of familiar people, but as a newcomer, Shen Mengdie is greatly relieved.

She was worried that someone would recognize her and come over to talk, and it would take a lot of effort to leave early.

"She's an earl?"

"I guess so, didn't you listen to the roll call just now?"

The women behind Shen Mengdie were very surprised to see that someone about the same age as themselves was actually an earl, and these people were all small nobles who had no intersection with the Ulysses family, so they didn't know much about the current situation of the Ulysses family.

Shen Mengdie lowered her eyes in disregard for those tentative eyes, carried a huge skirt, and slowly entered the crowd.
