Chapter 63: The Mayor's Invitation
Chapter 63
"Diana-chan~Help me~"
As a freckled girl at the same table, she is holding Diana's arm and praying coquettishly.
"I know you've got the most ideas! You've got a way! ”
Diana's face was embarrassed, and she said helplessly to her tablemate, who was still talking.
"This, you said that I would help you beat someone or teach someone a lesson to ensure that it is okay, but this ......"
Diana looked at the red invitation in her hand, which was the ticket for the annual ball held by the mayor's house.
"I said, if you don't like to go, why don't you just go home and get a lot of sleep?"
For this kind of high-society social ball, Diana has always stayed away because she is poor.
"How can that be! This year is different from every year, this year is mainly to invite children of our age, and even the service staff are our peers, that is the mayor of the town personally sent an invitation to my house, how can I release pigeons. ”
"Wouldn't it be nice if you went? Let's just have dinner together. ”
The freckled girl blushed and waved her hand hurriedly, which was not at all different from her usual big grin
"But, but, I'm embarrassed......"
Diana covered her forehead with a headache
"Then how do you say I should help you, you don't want to go and you're afraid of releasing pigeons, can I still go instead of you?"
Diana's helpless complaint made the freckle girl's eyes suddenly glow with a light called hope, and after seeing her eyes, Diana hurriedly stretched out her palm to signal her to stop what she was going to say.
"Let's not talk about how you plan to let me sneak into the ball with an invitation printed with your photo, a child from a common family like me will be exposed immediately if you play you, a young lady from a rich family, and ......"
Diana paused, pulling out something identical to the red prom invitation in her trouser pocket.
"It's unfortunate that I'm on the invitation list too."
This was delivered to Diana's house by the mayor's housekeeper two days ago, and the only intersection between Diana and the mayor's family was to occasionally help them find the runaway cat.
She really didn't understand why she would be invited to such a high-looking ball.
"This dance party is specially prepared for you young people, the purpose is to let you have an understanding of each other, and it can be regarded as for the subsequent development of Reims Town, I am fortunate to draw you, prepare a decent set of clothes and remember not to be late on time."
The butler, who was over half a hundred years old but still straight, got into the carriage and left, not giving Diana any chance to refuse at all.
"So Diana, will you go too?"
The freckled girl made a questioning voice.
"Of course! This kind of free eating and drinking is not always available! ”
patted his chest, which had only improved a little, and shamelessly admitted.
"Then remember to come to me and we'll go together!"
"Yes, yes".
………………
Soon the day of the prom arrived.
Diana walked with the freckled girl as promised.
The freckled girl wears a long dress with a yellow tunic. He wore a velvet top hat on his head, and it was obvious that most of the freckles on his face had been covered by makeup.
"Diana, are you going to wear this?"
The freckled girl looked at the washed and dusty school uniform on Diana's body and asked puzzled.
"yes, what's wrong, what's wrong?"
Diana naturally understood what the freckled girl meant, which was nothing more than that she thought that she should also be like her, wearing a beautiful dress, wearing expensive jewelry and jewelry, and the whole person exuded a luxurious and erosive atmosphere.
But don't forget what Diana was up for.
"Will you go to the buffet in your current outfit?"
"Huh? Buffet? When, of course not, not to mention eating in this dress, it is difficult to even breathe. ”
In fact, the fundamental reason is that Diana is reluctant to spend a few hundred silver coins to buy such an impractical vase dress.
"Haha! Rest assured! I'll enjoy your share for you! ”
The two of them laughed and came to the door of the mayor's house, as the butler and Diana had said, it was a ball for their young people, and the oldest of them was sixteen or seventeen years old.
After taking the invitation letter and checking it carefully, the young doorman at the door put the two of them in, and his serious appearance looked a little contrived and funny.
The mayor's house is the second largest residence in Reims after the canary, and unlike the extravagant canary house, the building style of the mayor's house exudes an extremely solemn and majestic atmosphere.
Young children follow the example of their parents, each holding a glass of non-alcoholic fruit wine and flattering each other.
"Your dress is so beautiful! It must have cost a lot of money! ”
"Whereever, where, you've won the prize. I think your evening dress is more noble and elegant, which is very in line with your temperament. ”
Conversations like this have always surrounded Diana's ears, making her sigh that the life of the ordinary people in the market is really more suitable for her.
The freckled girl also blended in, after all, she can be regarded as representing her family this time, and she can't sit at the table like Diana and eat Hesse without caring about her image at all.
The disgusted eyes of the surrounding children fell on Diana's body, and those eyes contained all kinds of negative emotions, and they unabashedly talked about the person concerned.
"Look, how that guy eats like this, it's so ugly."
"No, I thought she was a waiter, but I didn't expect her to have an invitation too, I really don't know how the mayor would invite such a person to a ball."
Really......
"What a boring speech"
Oily Diyana ignored anyone's words and gulped down a glass of juice.
There was a sound of "ton, ton, ton".
At this time, the bright magic lamp suddenly went out, the huge crystal lamp overhead emitted a dim yellow light, and a group of bands also composed of teenagers appeared under the curtain in front of them, and the dance party officially began, and the fountain in the center of the dance floor spewed colorful water splashes.
A pair of men and women walked onto the dance floor hand in hand to begin the evening's main event.
This kind of ballroom dancing can be said to let children learn as long as the family is still good, and it can broaden their personal relationships.
At this time, Diana realized that everyone except herself had come to the wide dance floor to dance.
This loneliness of not being able to fit into the collective, like being abandoned by the whole world, is familiar to her.
However, although it is said that human beings are social creatures, they cannot live alone from the collective.
But what she had seen and heard over the years had taught her that forcing herself to erase all of her characteristics to join a team that didn't suit her was tantamount to self-destruction.
