Chapter 56: The Girls' Revolution
Today, Fran, as usual, after breakfast, took a horse-drawn carriage to the studio of Teacher Durrenburg to start today's practice, she was wearing a plain white dress today, and then put her slender and silky blonde hair in a bun on each side of her head, tied it with a pink ribbon, and then draped it over her shoulders, which looked very fresh and natural.
After disembarking at the door of the painter's small mansion, she found her friend Mademoiselle de LΓ©oland also getting off the rental carriage.
"Good morning! Mary! She said hello.
Mademoiselle Marquis turned her head to look at the voice, and then found the person who greeted her.
"Good morning! Fran! She hurriedly smiled and said hello. It's a great day too! β
"Oops, what's wrong with you? Early in the morning again! Fran blushed a little.
"That's why it's really good-looking......" Mary replied with a smile.
To be honest, it's because Fran always reacts this way that she is so happy to tease her friends.
Then the two walked side by side, through the corridor at the gate, and walked towards the mansion inside.
"Recently, I heard that the teacher is going to hold a new art exhibition?" Mary asked.
"Well, yes, just these days." Fran nodded.
"Hey, how long has it been since the last exhibition? Teachers are really sought after...... But he de......serves his name," Mary sighed softly, "I wonder if any of us will become a famous painter like him in the future......
Then she turned to look at Fran, "Fran, if there really is such a person among our students, I think the most likely one is you." I didn't mean to compliment you, I'm afraid most people here would think so, right? You really have this talent, a talent that we can't match. By the way...... she suddenly seemed to remember something, "I heard that the teacher is going to show some of his students' paintings in this art exhibition, and the teacher came to you that day, should you ...... Would you like to recommend your paintings? β
Fran blushed and lowered her head slightly, muttering quietly. "No......"
It seems to be true.
Mary was amused by Fran's performance, but had no intention of debunking her.
"Oh, then I really want to see which excellent student can be valued by the teacher......"
Fran still lowered her head slightly, but the joy and excitement in her heart could not be concealed, compared to the preoccupied appearance of the previous day, it was like two people.
Mary asked, a little curiously. "Fran, why are you so happy today? Has something good happened lately? β
As if awakened, Fran quickly raised her head. "No, where did you think of going?!" Then he laughed wryly, "Okay, it's not too early, let's hurry in, shall we?" lest you be late. β
Fran's performance made Mary even more confused, but since the other party refused to speak, she couldn't get to the bottom of it.
Since she doesn't want to say it, forget it, it's better for her to be happy than unhappy anyway. Mary thought to herself.
"Hmm", she smiled too. "Let's get inside."
When the two girls walked up to the attic studio, they almost immediately felt that something was wrong.
Something is wrong, something is very wrong.
Judging by the number of students, the students are almost all here, but it is surprisingly - if not terrifying- quiet.
Normally, after just coming to Qi, the girls will always chat in twos and threes according to their own small circles, and they will definitely not be so quiet.
Even if the aristocrats have been frustrated and low-key a lot recently because of Matilda's "temporary retirement", their sworn enemies have been in good shape recently, and they are arrogant in front of the aristocratic party every day, and they will not be as quiet as they are now.
It is surprising that both factions have fallen silent today.
Is it ......?
Fran and Mary looked into a corner of the studio.
"Matilda!" The two girls shouted almost at the same time, and then a look of surprise appeared on their faces at the same time.
Yes, Mademoiselle Matilda de Delierion, the granddaughter of the leader of the aristocratic party and the current Chancellor of the Seals, is back in the studio today.
After feeling the sight of the two girls, the brown-haired girl wearing thin gold-rimmed glasses turned her face to the door, and then nodded casually and elegantly to this side with a smile, which was regarded as a greeting.
She had been in confinement for many days, but she still seemed gentle and calm, and there was no sign of malaise in her spirit. This made the two girls even more admirable - because the two of them knew the real reason for Matilda's "sick leave".
During this time, her father, Viscount Delion, must not have given her good fruit to eat, but she did not expect that after so many days, she would still be as calm as she is now...... It's amazing.
Fran was overjoyed, and unconsciously prepared to walk towards her.
As a result, she suddenly felt as if the corners of her clothes had been ripped off. She looked back, and Mary shook her head slightly.
Then when she turned her head, she saw that Matilda, who had looked away, also shook her head slightly, as if to ask herself not to come first.
At this point, she was finally fully conscious.
With Matilda's strong return, the confrontation between the two parties resumed, and it seems that after this period of gestation, it has become more intense. At this moment, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder with the smell of fat, which was no more dangerous and dangerous than explosives.
Several young girls stood next to Matilda, and opposite her, there was also a small group.
Lola de Beauvan, daughter of the great banker, one of the richest heiresses in France, and leader of the Banco Party in the painting room, was also standing a few meters away from Matilda, looking at Matilda with a blank face, and behind her stood several young girls.
Mary and Matilda made it clear that they both told Fran not to get involved in the fight between the two girls and the two groups. Fran listened to them and quietly walked to the corner where she usually was.
Lola still wore her hair in a bun today, and she wore a long silk dress of great value, and a sapphire pendant around her neck, which looked extremely proud.
"Miss Delierion, I'm glad to see you back." She said coldly.
"I'm glad to see you here, Miss Beauwon." Matilda returned the favor with the same calmness.
The temperature in the air seems to have dropped a little more.
Fran and Mary had just sat down in their usual seats, and suddenly found a small gift box on the seat.
It turned out to be black truffles wrapped in a gold ribbon gift box.
"Has it escalated to this point today......" Fran couldn't help but sigh quietly to Mary next to her.
"Yes......," Mary sighed. It's nice to be rich......"
In recent times, Lola and her comrades have often given small gifts to their classmates before class, starting with paintbrushes and high-quality paints, and then moving on to more expensive things like snacks, flowers, and perfumes.
Unexpectedly, today, the level of small gifts has risen to a very valuable black truffle chocolate.
In addition to secretly despising it, Fran can only sigh that it is good to be rich......
Lola did this in order to win over other "non-party members" and to demonstrate to her opponents. And her opponents have had to swallow their anger recently, fighting with cold violence and not accepting gifts, and it seems that they are completely inferior. Even, one or two undetermined elements even took refuge on the other side because they coveted small favors, which made the aristocratic party grit their teeth with hatred.
Because of this, it is conceivable how Matilda's return today will be to the joy of these young girls.
"I just brought some delicious food today, would you like to try some?" Lola's smile was obviously a little ill-intentioned, "It's okay, I gave it, just eat it." β
"No," Matilda smiled and refused, a flash of light in her lenses, "I'm not very used to receiving gifts from others, especially those with bad intentions. β
Lola's face froze suddenly, almost angry, but she quickly suppressed it. "Really? That's a shame, I thought you'd want to try it out after being locked up at home for so long. β
Matilda's face changed suddenly after hearing Lola's taunt - this subtle taunt obviously offended her. However, she quickly suppressed her impulses.
"Good intentions? Then I got it. It's going to be class, let's stop talking? β
Without giving her a chance to answer, Matilda turned away, and the comrades behind her looked at their opponents with a mocking look as if they had won a major victory, and then swaggered after Matilda to leave.
That's when the mutation happened.
A student who was in the aristocratic party and later joined the banking party because he coveted Lola's gift happened to come to school. Matilda's face turned pale when she saw her, and she lowered her head to get around the crowd to her seat, but somehow, she suddenly fell and fell to the ground.
"Traitor!" She heard a mockery and a few low mockers.
Embarrassed, she picked up the pastry from the seat next to her and threw it directly at the group.
"Smack!" A young girl next to Matilda was directly hit, and her body was suddenly covered with sticky cakes.
It's worth it!
In a fit of rage, the girl who was hit also picked up the pastry next to her and threw it to the opposite side, and then she fought back as a matter of course.
Just a few seconds later, the whole studio was boiling. Cakes, chocolates, tea juice and even paints, with colorful lights and their respective trajectories, blasted towards the opposite camp.
Matilda and Lola seem to be intent on stopping at first, but they are soon joined in the fight.
The war between the two parties broke out so suddenly and unpremeditatedly, and this is the epitome of the last fifty years of French history.
A handful of neutrals, such as Fran and Mary, watched the battle in amazement as they carefully dodged the stray bullets that were scurrying around.
"What's going on!" Mary exclaimed.
"I don't know!" Fran lowered her head to avoid a piece of cake that flew by wiping her hair, "Maybe it's because I'm too strict at home, let's vent here!" β
Just when the two parties were fighting fiercely and could not tell the winner, a loud shout came.
"What are you doing?" Teacher Durenburg finally appeared at the door, "Stop it all!" β
At this moment, a piece of pastry hit him on the head, and suddenly the white cake exploded, covering the old man's entire head.
The audience fell silent for a moment.
"You ...... You guys...... Stop it! The old painter seemed to shout with all his might.
The fighting finally stopped, but the traces of the battle remained. The studio was in shambles.
Lola looked at Matilda, the priceless silk dress, which was now covered with the remnants of pastry and paint.
"One day, you will kneel before me and beg me for forgiveness." The always arrogant leader of the banking party, whose eyes are full of fierce gaze at this moment, almost makes people forget her embarrassment at this moment, "And I will smile and help you up, forgive your offense, and then congratulate you on finally understanding the reality of the modern age." β
"Really?" Matilda's situation was not much better than Lola's, but she smiled indifferently in the face of Lola's threats, and did not seem to take the other party's cruel words to heart after defeat. "Then I'm really looking forward to that day."
The teacher cursed for a long time before finally relieving himself a little, and then punished all the students who participated in the war to suspend class and clean the studio.
"Fran, I'll visit you again tomorrow," Matilda whispered as she rubbed Fran's side, smiling and squeezing her eyes.
"Okay!" Fran laughed too, and then whispered yes, "Welcome!" β
