Chapter 45: Sister and Brother
Whether she wanted it or not, the viscountess was her stepmother. Of course, she can not be called this title, but politeness cannot be ignored, otherwise she will be excluded from the circle of this noble, and her lofty ideals of using this identity to do something will die because of it.
After entering the inner courtyard, there were obviously fewer male guards, but there were some guards to protect them in some important areas, and Hathaway even saw a few female guards, most of whom were hidden in the shadows...... If Hathaway had come by herself, I'm afraid she would have been stopped a long time ago, with Taylor. Brower led the way, and no one stepped in to stop him.
"Grandpa Brower, who is she?"
As a crisp and immature child's voice sounded, a slender figure appeared in front of them...... This is a little girl of eleven or twelve years old, with a fair to almost pale face, with a pair of pale blue pupiled eyes, the slender corners of the eyes are slightly upturned, but between the two thin eyebrows, but more delicate, straight nose, delicate and cute little mouth, and slightly curly long brown hair, everything is in line with the unique weakness of a noble girl.
The whalebone bracket in a light green dress makes her waist appear more slender, and the green body curve makes her temperament more confident. On his slender wrist he wore a gold bracelet encrusted with fine gemstones, which was undoubtedly the best craftsmanship rarely seen in the capital, and the whole person looked like a cute Barbie doll.
Taylor. A smile appeared on Brower's face, "Hello, Miss Floya, this is Miss Hathaway......"
The little girl's eyes immediately lit up, and she shouted with a smile: "I know it, it's Sister Hathaway!" ”
She suddenly stuck out her tongue, retracted the expression on her face as if her face had changed, and lifted the hem of her skirt for a ladylike salute: "Hello, Sister Hathaway, I am your sister, Frouya. Bel. ”
"Hello, Fruya." Hathaway looked at this sister a little critically, although she was not interested in the Lady Elizabeth, but it was undeniable that the little person in front of her was still very cute.
"Miss Floria, Miss Hathaway is about to go to see Lady Elizabeth, will you come along?" Taylor. Brower asked.
"Ah, I don't. My mother is going to let me learn how to needle again. Grandpa Brower, don't tell her she's seen me, okay? "Fruya. Bell asked with a pitiful look.
"Of course, I haven't met Miss Froua." Taylor. Brower said with a smile.
"Thank you!"
Fruya. Bell was overjoyed, and she turned to Hathaway and said, "Sister, when you settle down, can I go see you?" ”
"Absolutely." Hathaway bowed slightly.
Seeing the little girl leave happily, Hathaway's eyes showed a bit of thoughtfulness. Brower suddenly said, "Miss Froua is a very simple girl, and she is also very kind, and has begged the Viscount many times to take her to visit you. ”
"Yes." Hathaway replied casually, but didn't mean to get an answer.
A very faint aroma lingered gently on the tip of her nose, which lifted people's spirits, Hathaway frowned, although this was a high-grade perfume, but for her, it was a very disliked smell, but this aroma came from the smiling lady opposite, Hathaway had to endure it.
This is a lady with a very feminine taste, as the jargon on the earth goes, it is a long leg with a convex front and a back cross, coupled with a long skirt full of classical atmosphere, dignified and elegant aristocratic temperament, and indeed very many countesses. Hathaway savored it for a while, and finally realized what she lacked.
Warmth, from her I can't feel the minimum warmth that a family should have. On the contrary, behind that polite and elegant smile, Hathaway felt cold and suspicious, and there was a sense of rejection in and out of her words.
"Hathaway, you should look at your younger siblings, you haven't seen each other for more than a decade, and I'm sure you'd be hard to recognize if you met on the street." Lady Elizabeth smiled at Hathaway, who had already sent her maid to greet the three children.
"Yes, as you wish." Hathaway nodded slightly. Although the lady had repeatedly hinted at her, there was absolutely no way she could call her 'mother', not even a stepmother.
"Mother, is there anything you called us over?" A young man's voice and the sound of shredded footsteps came from the doorway.
Hathaway turned her head to look, only to see Froua. Bell walked in very ladylikely, and behind her there were two teenagers who looked alike, and they were even dressed almost identically...... The decent and concise white coat is full of aristocratic style, girlish pale complexion, the whole person looks polite and full of aristocratic demeanor, only there is a little bit of young man's agility in those eyes, and their walking steps and postures are systematically trained, and their hairstyles and temperament are obviously 'artificially shaped', full of aristocratic melancholy.
The only thing that caught Hathaway's attention were the hands of the two teenagers, although they both wore white gloves embroidered with gold patterns, but the shape of those hands was like that of a knight's, slender and powerful, and it was evident that they had been trained for a long time and had achieved quite a lot.
"Come in and meet your sister, she's Hathaway."
An elegant smile appeared on Lady Elizabeth's face: "Hathaway, on the left is your second brother Lebon, and on the right is your third brother Arthur, they are all very good knights, and they have condensed the seeds of fighting spirit." ”
"Mother, and me!" Fruya. Bell whispered, and she winked at Hathaway.
"Yes, and the smallest jewel of our Bell family, Fruya. Bel. "Lady Elizabeth was obviously very fond of this daughter, and her eyes were full of doting.
"Welcome home, dear sister."
Levin's smile and his mother's smile were all up and down the 'assembly line', and unlike Lady Elizabeth's more reserved gaze, there was a slight hostility and fierceness in his eyes, which made Hathaway feel a tingle. But Arthur next to him looked at her silently, with an unfathomable look.
"Thank you, Levin, we should be together for a long time." Hathaway smiled sweetly, looking at the little broken child's constipated expression, Hathaway suddenly felt a sense of happiness.
