When her identity was first revealed and she escaped from Nomonka, Minna once appeared in a woman's costume + before, and successfully passed the test Although she was dressed as a down-and-out Noga country girl at that time, now that she has grown up and dressed so gorgeously, most people should not associate the two girls together, but Jada will actually have an impression of her, and it is hard to guarantee that she will not remember

Although even if she is recognized as the girl who once appeared at the gate of Normonka, it does not mean that the other party will find out that she is Minte, but the ensuing trouble is not at least, Jada will definitely guess that she has something to do with the security department, otherwise why would an ordinary aristocratic girl appear in the capital of another country wearing civilian clothes?

Minna stole a glance at her uncle's family next to her, and then glanced at Jada's side and the Esther nobles around her, who were paying attention to them, consciously or unconsciously, and decided to keep the matter a secret

Her mind was racing to find a topic to distract Jada, but someone did it for her

Lilith saw Jada staring at Minna vigorously, and felt very uncomfortable, not to mention that her two daughters were noble and beautiful, even if they were herself, they were also very temperamental, Minna was a country girl, but she looked pretty good, and she was not a stunning beauty, except for the necklace all over her body, what was there compared to their mother and daughter? This Duke of Nojia looks very handsome and magnificent, why is his vision so bad?

She couldn't help but start and said, "Your Excellency, I just heard that there is another lady in your mission, is that the young lady over there?" Is she your fiancée? Seeing Jada turn her gaze to herself, she glanced smugly at the corner of the hall

Behind the curtain in that corner, there was a beautiful woman she had been watching for a long time sitting on the sofa, dressed as a typical noble girl of Noga, with a long dress embroidered with white sesame yarn, a small cloak woven in red and gold, her curly hair was scattered, but the ends of her hair were adorned with delicate floral ornaments made of gold, and she also wore a gorgeous tiara, strings of pearls hung down, and the end jewels fell into her hair, shining

Minna looked at the girl, unlike the others who were surprised by the number of jewels on her head, she had seen the so-called "gorgeous" dress of the noble women of Noga, but she had to admit that the multitude of jewels did not deprive the girl of her brilliance, but rather made her more radiant

She is really beautiful, obviously a very young and tender girl, but she always gives people a sense of charm, but when she laughs, she looks pure and lively, and several noble children of East have been attracted to her, and flattered her, and the number of noble girls in the hall who came with their families has begun to glance at her with hidden but unkind eyes, and even those old ladies also look at her with scrutinizing and critical eyes, and by the way draw back the attention of their husbands

Lilith's question was what most of the guests in the room wanted to know, and the young gentlemen were anxiously awaiting Jada's answer, and if such a beautiful woman became the wife of the Duke, then they would be gone

Elon felt that his wife's words were a little inappropriate, glanced at her but Jada was not angry at all, and said with a smile: "You misunderstood, madam, that is my cousin, the only daughter of my uncle, Princess Stella She knew that I was coming to East, so she kept asking me to bring her with her, saying that she had admired your country for a long time, and she had to come and see me, I really couldn't help it, so I let her come with her, she was young and ignorant, if there was anything rude, please forgive me."

Almost all the unmarried men present (except for a few who already had sweethearts) were all relieved, and even the married old men also indulged their eyes a little, and the ladies represented by Lilith secretly gritted their teeth, but Beryl looked at this scene coldly, and suddenly smiled and said to Jada: "Obviously, gentlemen will forgive her, I have to say that your cousin is amazingly charming."

Jada laughed: "This girl is just worrying, I'm thinking about when someone will marry her, so I don't have to worry about it anymore."

The children of the nobles jumped up again with joy, and immediately more than a dozen people joined Princess Stella's flattering army, filling the small space behind the curtain, and the local hall was empty, and many young ladies were almost red-eyed

At this time, a noble lady stood up: "Too much, gentlemen! Even if Her Royal Highness Princess Nogadi is indeed beautiful and charming, you can't ignore the beauties of our own country, right? "The children of the aristocracy were at first ashamed and wanted to say a few words sarcastically, but when they found out that it was the recent famous Bienca Bauwe... Miss Chelsea immediately shrank back and watched her blush from her coquettishness, and a few thin-skinned youths blushed

The aristocratic ladies of Eastland were relieved for a moment, but at the thought of attracting attention, it was not themselves, and it was a little uncomfortable, but the princess Stella was not angry at all, and still sat on the sofa and looked at Bianka with a smile

Bianka gave a sweet smile and stroked her forehead casually, causing the men around her to gasp a few times, and then turned to the handsome aristocratic young man in a dark blue dress closest to her: "I don't think you should refuse to ask me to dance, right?" ”

Alex looked at her outstretched hand, couldn't help but turn his head to look at Minna, shook it with a wry smile, bowed: "It's a great honor" and danced with her

Some of the aristocratic young people who were about to move lowered their heads in shame, and instead invited the noble daughters they knew or didn't know, and the originally empty dance floor was suddenly full of Princess Stella, and there were many fewer men gathered around her, but she still smiled, occasionally responded to everyone's words, and her attitude was also very decent, and several older guests saw this, and they all nodded secretly in approval, this foreign princess is a good girl

Minna stared at Alex, who was dancing with Bianca, feeling a little depressed, he was obviously her dance partner! But... Alex didn't seem to have invited her, and she didn't mention it, because in her heart, Alex should have been her dance partner and now watching him dance with others, she realized that this kind of thing was not taken for granted, in Mayton, maybe there was no other young girl to invite Alex, but Ito was different, shouldn't she... Make an appointment with Alex in advance?

After the dance, Alex and Bianca saluted each other, and he was about to turn around and walk towards Minna, but was stopped by a smiling Bianca: "Little Mr. Mandtheling, will you come to the tea party I just mentioned?" You're coming, right? "Although it is

But her tone was unpretentious

Alex just smiled copistically, "I'm very sorry, I'm about to start a new topic, and I probably won't have much free time."

A hint of surprise flashed in Bianca's eyes, but there was still a smile on his face: "I don't know what the subject is?" I've always been interested in magic, can I visit where you work? ”

"I think this subject may be a bit dangerous, not for young ladies to watch" Alex looked left and right, "Your brother seems to be looking for you, don't bother, please allow me to leave first" and bent over, turned and left

It's a pity that it backfired, just now he was caught in everyone's field of vision by Biencala, and the ladies present suddenly found that this young man, who had always paid little attention, was handsome and graceful, and he was still a magician, and immediately there were aristocratic girls who were interested in him and asked the elders to bring them to know him, and two of them even asked Viscount Mandheling to introduce Alex on his behalf, but the upbringing he received since childhood told him that he could not be rude, so he reluctantly endured it

Bianca watched from afar as he was surrounded by a crowd of people and had a boredom with a glass of wine, Hubert walked up to her and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"Wooden man," Bianka stuffed his glass to his brother, "the queen is so nosy, why did she decide who I would marry?" This little Mandheling is not the type I like at all."

Hubert smiled, raised his wine glass and took a sip: "If you don't like it, don't forget it, none of the other objects she has introduced to you recently are good, and our family will not sacrifice a daughter in order to satisfy Her Royal Highness's little desire for control, it's a big deal to go back to Gutenberg"

"That's not necessary," Bienka took her brother's hand and smiled extra sweetly, "Ito is still very fun, the people here are so interesting"

At the same moment, Minna was also coldly looking at Alex, who was surrounded by a group of women, and her heart was even more depressed

From the side, Felder's voice spoke to Bevan: "Brother, Bianca is beautiful, isn't it?" I'll ask her to dance later! ”

Bewen casually replied, "Okay", and he was a little listless, took out his pocket watch, looked at it, and stuffed it back in

"Brother still has a job tonight? Didn't your mother tell you to take a leave of absence? Felder suddenly remembered something, and immediately sank his face, "You probably want to go to that person, do you?!" ”

"How so?" Bevan smiled reluctantly, "I'm a little tired, I'm very busy with work today, I want to find a place to sit, you can play" After that, he walked behind the curtain Felder kept staring at him and sat down on the empty sofa in the corner, before he turned back with confidence and began to look around suspiciously: "What about the sisters?" They were still here."

Minna looked left and right, "I didn't pay attention either...", she patronized to look at Alex, "I'll look for it, probably resting nearby"

"Okay, okay, Ai, then I'm going to play!" Felder spotted a Noga-style wall ornament on the wall, wondered if it was the real Ou, and ran over in a hurry

Minna looked around for the sisters, but there was no sign of them, and she wondered for a moment, where did they go?

At this time, Manda was blocked by several noble daughters in a secluded corridor outside the hall

She was a little scared, but she still stubbornly asked, "You... What do you want to do?! ”

A girl in a yellow dress smiled: "It should be that we asked what you want to do, what are you doing here?" Looking for His Royal Highness? She suddenly changed her face, "Don't you know that Second Highness is already very tired and needs to rest?!" ”

Manda's body trembled, and she immediately glared back: "This is a matter between me and him, and it has nothing to do with you!" ”

Another girl in purple sneered: "Don't dream, Your Royal Highness is not here, the palace guards have already escorted him back to the palace, you guy is in trouble, obviously the queen has already said it, tell you not to see His Royal Highness again, you are still entangled, it is really shameless!" ”

Manda said angrily, "I said, this is a matter between me and Selig!" Nothing to do with anyone else! What does it mean to be entangled? What does it mean to be shameless? Are you talking about yourselves?! ”

The women were furious and were stopped by the red-clothed girl who was the leader, and she was saying to Manda: "Manda Xiao... Miss Cardo, I can make one thing clear that His Second Highness is no longer the Second Highness of the past, he is now the future ruler of our country, and what he needs is a noble, generous, intelligent and clever companion, do you think you are such a person? Do you think you deserve a king? Don't think that you are a queen if you dress a little, we have grown up in Ito Castle since we were children, like you, and we know you well enough, you are a good person, but that's all, you don't have the wisdom and bearing to be a queen! ”

"Do you have?!" Mandari glared at the other party's beautiful face, "Don't think that if the queen speaks, you can really become Selig's wife!" He loves me! Miss Duras, I don't want you to figure it out! ”

Miss Duras smiled: "So you are too naïve, how many royal marriages are united by love?" Or, how many of the marriages of the nobility are decided by love? Compared to my family, what can you, and your family, do to help His Royal Highness? In the face of interests and power, what can your so-called love decide? Not to mention how disgusted the queen is with you."

The girls snickered, Manda's eyes were red, but she held back her tears and refused to show weakness in front of these girls

Miss Duras approached her and showed a "noble and generous" smile: "Recognize the reality, my dear Miss Manda, even if the queen does not arrange for you to be a saint, she has enough power to marry you to someone else, if you don't want to live a miserable life for the rest of your life, let your parents arrange a good family affair for you as soon as possible, if you really insist on sticking to that so-called love, then hide yourself, don't let the queen find you, if you can really live to become a king under the second highness, I don't think I would mind you being his mistress"

Manda's body was trembling, tears were already overflowing her eyes, she had never heard such words, and her heart was about to break

"Even if Manda can't be the queen, you won't be gone" A female voice suddenly came from the corner of the corridor, startling the women, and when they turned around, they found that it was Beryl, and the girl in yellow laughed first: "What? Is the sister here to help the sister? It's a pity, if the younger sister still has to become the king's mistress, the elder sister is absolutely impossible, unless she is willing to marry the lame, then at least she can be regarded as the daughter-in-law of the royal family" The women chuckled and looked

's eyes were full of disdain

Beryl, who despised them since childhood for her superior level of magic than ordinary people, has long been a thorn in their side

Beryl will not admit defeat: "I thought it was a felony to insult a member of the royal family, as the daughter of a noble family with a title, she should know what to say and what not to say, so I didn't think that such a person would also be considered to have the bearing of a queen!" ”

The girl in yellow immediately blushed and looked at her companion uneasily, and she finally realized that she had lost her words

Mademoiselle Duras took a step to defend her alliance: "Shaw... Miss Cardo, I understand that you want to defend your sister's feelings, but this accusation is so serious, I don't think you should take this kind of joke seriously, right? ”

"Jokes?" Beryl chuckled, "So you think so, does this also mean that you have the wisdom and bearing to become a queen?" She walked over to her sister and confronted the girls with Manda

The girl in purple said coldly: "If she doesn't have it, do you have?" It's obviously impossible, and only you two sisters will pester men again and again, which really insults Count Xiao's reputation! ”

Beryl glared at her angrily, "Don't talk too much! Don't make me say nasty things! ”

"If you like to talk about it, I'd like to hear what you have to say!"

Beryl sneered and pointed at Miss Duras: "You say she will become the second princess?" No kidding! The royal family can't afford this insult! What is she? Her sister is a whore! It's a plaything! Is she, the sister of a prostitute, also worthy to be a queen? What would others say? The members of the royal family, who are revered by the commoners, have such lowly relatives, do you want them to bow down to a madman who has been a prostitute?! ”

"Beryl Shaw... Cardo! How dare you say that?! Miss Duras's eyes almost burst into flames, and her face was a pain in their family's woes, and although they had concealed it as much as possible, there were always rumors, but people saw that the Duras family was powerful, so they never talked about it publicly, and she felt that she had been greatly insulted, and wanted to strangle Beryl to death

"It's a fact, everybody knows," Beryl glared back, not to be outdone, "I just wanted to tell you, don't daydream too much, teach others every day feeling good about yourself, and not knowing that you're a joke!" Manda tugged at her sleeve uneasily, and she shook her off

In the face of these malevolent enemies, she will not relent

Mademoiselle Duras trembled with rage: "Wait, you will not succeed!" The queen hates your house, because you don't know each other! If you are wise, marry yourself off sooner, or else—" she held her head high, "you and all your family members will be a hundred times more miserable than my cousin!" I don't put Shaw... The surname Cardo is driven into the mud and you are hung on the pillar of shame, and I am willing to kill myself! ”

She went away in a rage, and the other girls were so frightened that they looked at each other a few times and hurriedly followed

Seeing their figures disappear around the corner, Manda's feet limped, leaning against the wall, and she cried, "Beryl, what you said is too much... That kind of thing..."

"Shouldn't it be Miss who said that?" Beryl snorted coldly, "Don't be stupid! If we don't hit them hard, they'll trample on our heads! That woman, now posing as a future queen all day long, hum, it's funny! She deserves it?! ”

"But," Manda hesitated, "what if she does take revenge on us?" Beryl, the Duras family is indeed more powerful than ours"

"Their power comes from the king's trust, if they really fall to the queen for the name of a second prince and princess, the king will not be the first to spare them!"

"Are you sure? What if they take revenge on our family before they get lucky? ”

Beryl stopped and pondered for a long time before she turned around and glared at her sister: "If you're afraid of everything, what else can you do?!" That woman is stupid, but one thing is true, you really don't have the wisdom and bearing to be a queen! ”

She shook her hand and left, but Manda burst into tears again because of her words, she had tried very hard to change herself, but she was still laughed at again and again, was she really not worthy of Selig?

The thought that the one he loves the most might marry another woman hurts as if her heart has been cut

"Manda, are you there?" Minna vaguely heard someone arguing, followed the sound to find her, and saw the crying figure lying by the wall, she was a little unsure

Manda stood up with her support for the wall, turned around and saw that it was Minna, and was busy wiping the tears on her face with her hand Minna was very surprised, and quickly took out her handkerchief and handed it over: "What happened?" Someone bullied you? ”

"No... No," Manda covered her mouth with a handkerchief, "Please don't ask..."

"Okay, okay, I won't ask," Minna carefully held her up, "can you go?" She tried desperately to suppress the doubts in her heart, thinking that she would find out sooner or later that she had already noticed a waiter standing outside the hallway

"I can, thank you..."Manda walked slowly towards Minna, but was startled by the shadow that appeared in front of her, "I'm sorry, Lord Duke, I—" she nervously wiped the tears from her face with her handkerchief and lowered her head uneasily

Jada stared at them for a few moments before getting out of the way: "It's not our prom that makes you sad"

"How so? Thank you" Manda curtsy with Minna, bowed her head and hurried in the direction of the venue, and when she was far away, she whispered to Minna, "Strange, I think he seems to have been staring at us"

Minna also noticed it, and felt a little uneasy in her heart, Jada must have discovered something, right?

In the middle of the walk, Jada stood silently, with a glimmer of unknown light flashing in his eyes, he reached into his arms and took out a handkerchief, white se linen texture, because of age, it has been partially yellowed This is a hand-sewn handkerchief, and a letter is embroidered with red silk thread on one corner""

If he was not mistaken, one of the two girls just now was holding the same handkerchief, the same texture, the same bamboo characters...

(I didn't expect this chapter to be so long...) Even if it broke out over the weekend, this is the first time Jada has been suspicious~~~+ Ticket Little Pink~~)
