But...... But ah......!

are all married to the prince, why can Sister Natalie have such happy eyes? Why did His Royal Highness look at Sister Natalie's eyes, I just saw it in the eyes of the tide who looked proud and disdained me, and he was reluctant to bend down to kiss me even when I stretched out my hand?

I'm really miserable, and I really wish my marriage could have a little bit of romance in addition to a political marriage...... If I really can only see his disdainful eyes on me every day after marrying the second prince, I will really feel bad......

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Whenever I was not feeling well, my maid would come and comfort me and ask me what had happened.

Her name is Maria, and she is twelve years old, and she is only two years older than me. The name was chosen by my father. When I was very young, she became my personal maid and took care of my daily life.

If Sister Natalie is one of those very fiery suns that I can talk to anyone, then Miss Maria is my moon, and she can be by my side silently when I want to be alone.

By the way, I especially like Miss Maria's hair, that long purple hair is really dreamy. Even when I go to bed at night, I wish I could sleep with Miss Maria's hair in my arms, so that I can feel more at ease.

"I'm nothing! Nothing...... Just thinking about the future...... I was suddenly a little scared......"

I curled up on the bed, shivering with fear.

Strange? As the daughter of the Jinguo family, I would be afraid of the distant and unknowable future?

Miss Maria always comforted me with the gentlest voice at such times, she would put me to sleep, she would hold me, and I would feel the warmth in her chest.

Miss Maria's body is really warm, and the smell from her body is really good...... When I made my mother angry, I liked to hide behind Miss Maria, and she had to be punished by her mother several times. Every now and then, I feel that I owe something to Miss Maria.

I don't have a sister, so I always treat Miss Maria as if she were my sister, and Miss Maria is the most caring person for me.

"Don't worry, Miss."

Miss Mary enveloped me again with her tenderness—

"I'll marry into the royal family with you. No matter what time it is, I will be by your side to solve any troubles for you. Don't worry. ”

I looked up at Miss Maria. Then I pulled a bunny from one of my favorite dolls next to me, held it up to Miss Maria, and said, "Really? Will Miss Maria be by my side forever and ever, like these friends? ”

Miss Maria smiled, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, I will always be with you, Miss." ”

At that time, I really believed that.

I truly believe that Sister Maria will always be by my side, so that I will not be alone even if anything happens in the future.

I took Sister Maria's wrist and enjoyed the gentle smell of her body in her arms, and every time at such times, I would slowly fall asleep and sleep very ~~~ very sweet~~~~

Only this time, some of the noises coming from the other side of the room made me feel a little uncomfortable.

"What's going on? Why is it so noisy outside? ”

Miss Maria tapped me on the shoulder and went out to take a look. Then when he came back, he said to me softly, "It's all right, Miss. It's some of the new maids who don't know the rules, and now the head maid is disciplining them. ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but tolerate those noisy voices, nodded and said, "It turned out to be a new maid?" Are they so pitiful, did they buy them from my father and brothers? ”

Maria nodded slightly, smiled, and said, "Roughly, it should be the same." They may not understand it now, but it will not be long before they understand the care that the Duke cares for them. ”

We have a lot of servants in our house.

In fact, many of these servants were not captured, but my family went to the trading market to buy them. Maids, in particular, seem to be the natural role of those children to be bought and sold. My brother once told me that if it had not been for our ducal family to buy them, they would have been tortured, humiliated, and tortured to death at the hands of slave traders. Some people who are not dead may also encounter some situations where life is worse than death.

I don't know exactly what that means, but I can tell from the looks in my brothers' eyes that it's definitely not a good thing.

So, those girls who can be bought by our Duke's Palace must also be lucky, right?

If it weren't for the fact that the number of servants who entered the Duke's Palace each year was approved, I would really like to ask my father and brothers to buy back all those poor girls. We have a lot of rooms here, and there are a lot of leftovers for dinner every day, so all the girls can live happily......

However, I didn't dare to tell my father about this idea. Because a few years ago, it seems that some abandoned girls were thrown at the door of the Duke's Palace, and my father relented for a while, and as a result, a large number of girls were thrown at our door almost every day, which was terrible......

Listening to the noise coming from the other side of the room, I couldn't help but smile back on my lips. Even close your eyes and listen to the sounds.

Mary quickly noticed my little gesture and immediately said, "Do you want me to go and make them quiet?" ”

"Ah, no! No, no, no! Miss Maria, could you bring them something to eat and drink? Well...... Just use ...... Just use ......"

I thought hard, but at last I ran to my dresser, took an emerald and gemstone hair ornament from the box, handed it to Maria, and said, "Is that enough?" If not enough, there are many, many more on my side! ”

For my clumsiness back then, Miss Maria only gently accepted this little hair ornament and accepted it.

The next day, I found the hair accessory in my jewelry box again. At the same time, the noise never reached my ears again, which made me feel a little lost......

Miss Maria probably didn't lie to me, though. When I walked around the house and saw the maids, they all had happy smiles on their faces. Especially the maids who looked about the same age as me, and they looked at me with admiration and longing in their eyes. Looks like Miss Maria really didn't lie to me, right?

With everyone's help, I will become more and more courageous! At this moment, I felt that even if the second prince wouldn't have such a good look at me, it didn't matter. The future won't seem so scary before my eyes!

Because I am the daughter of the Duke of Jinguo's family, I retain the pride and dignity of my father. I will become a better woman and fully fulfill the tasks entrusted to me by my family!

Merely...... There is a small downside to this.

"Oops...... Miss, I really don't understand these things......"

Maria is very good, and she is also very good at learning all kinds of things.

However, such a good Mary can also be very clumsy in some ways. It's like math in my hands.

But it's no wonder that she hasn't experienced strict instruction, so even though the math manual in my hand is a very basic teaching textbook, she looks dizzy after turning two pages, and she can't read it at all.

"Even Miss Maria can't......"

I was a little disappointed and a little helpless.

Of course, I could have called my tutor in right away, but that would mean starting the class again. I don't like the kind of dull and boring class, I prefer to be with everyone, and then have fun discussing these problems together, and solve them in a happy atmosphere.

Miss Maria quickly saw what I was embarrassed about, and she quickly took action.

During that time, her relationship with my father seemed to be very good, and although her time with me began to get shorter and shorter, I knew that her heart was always on me.

Merely...... When Miss Maria was with my father, I was still a little lonely...... "Miss, how about you look like this?" ”

Until one day, Mary stood in front of me with a couple of little maids about my age. She reached out very gently, rubbed the hair of the little maid next to her, and said to me with a smile—

"I may not be able to study side by side with you, Miss. However, I picked out a few children who looked a little smarter and asked them to accompany the eldest lady, if any of them could keep up with the eldest lady's studies...... So, how about leaving that child by your side and taking care of you in the future? ”

At that time, I did not realize the meaning of Miss Maria's words, which were like a gentle sister to me, but when I saw these maids of the same age as me, I was so happy that I didn't even think about the meaning of Miss Maria's words.

I looked at the little maids, and they were all looking at me now, and each one had a happy smile on their face. Moreover, each of them is very beautiful, cleaned up, and cute like a doll~~~

Especially the one standing in the middle, who, like me, has long blond hair. Moreover, she was clearly the prettiest and cutest of these maids.

"What's your name?"

I was so happy that I immediately stepped forward and took the little maid's hand and asked happily.

"No. 1026, Honorable Lady ~~~"

The lovely blonde maid laughed, her eyes narrowed like crescent moons.

Maria on the side said slowly: "Miss, these children are servants after entering the Duke's Palace, and the servants have no names, only numbers. Therefore, it is up to their masters to give them names. If the eldest lady likes to keep one of them, she can give them a name. ”

It has always been my father and my brothers who give names to their servants, and I really didn't expect that I would be able to give them names one day!

But...... But! What's the name? All of a sudden, a name is needed...... This one...... This one...... What a trouble!

When I was annoyed, I began to can't wait to get to know this blonde doll, and quickly asked, "How old are you?" When did you come to my house? How did it come about? ”

The blonde doll numbered 1026 still looked at me with that bright and dazzling innocent smile, and at the same time, she also said in a very nice voice: "Hui Miss, I am the same year as the eldest lady this year, and I am both 12 years old. I was thrown at the door of the Duke's Palace by my parents seven years ago, and I was honored to enter the Duke's Court to serve the eldest lady. Despite my young age, I have learned a lot from Sister Maria. ”

Seeing this blonde doll's beautiful smile, I couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her blonde hair.

The hair is so dazzling, it's as beautiful as real gold.

That's when I decided that no matter if this blonde doll could keep up with my academic progress, I was going to keep her!

Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of my dolls! At that moment, I immediately turned my head, picked up a big bear toy from the side of the bed, rushed back to the blonde doll, and pushed the ragdoll bear in my hand into her arms.

"You! Did you know this? This plush bear! ”

The blonde doll was slightly stunned, her eyebrows were slightly tangled, and this appearance was also very good-looking. Seeing her puzzled expression, I said proudly-

"You don't know, do you? I'll tell you! It's one of the best plush toys Garcia has ever made! It feels so gentle to the touch, so comfortable~~~ I tell you, it's my best friend! But the same—"

I grabbed the blonde doll's hand, looked excitedly at her royal blue eyes, which were as beautiful as the sky, and jumped and said, "I want to be good friends with you too!" Since you and it are both good friends of mine, how about I give it to you? As of today, your last name is Garcia! ”

And then ...... Name...... Name...... Name...... Yes! My name is Alice, so you can change my name a little bit. How about using the name of the legendary mermaid - Ariel? Starting today, number 1026, I give you your name - Ariel Garcia! ”
