Chapter 65: The Prom
Agnes was in a trance, she vaguely felt that the person in the mirror was not herself, but a perfect doll with the same name and the same face, but without the same soul.
She wouldn't be left to be fiddled with like this, and she wouldn't wear such a cumbersome dress to any pointless ball.
She knew very well that she was not so well-behaved.
"Hetty, you say, who is the man in the mirror?"
Hetty paused for a moment, glanced in the mirror, and laughed.
"Miss, how can you boast about yourself like this." Hetty couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of his mouth at all, and said with a slight smile: "No matter how perfect you are, you have to wait for us to sort it out." ”
"I didn't." Agnes said earnestly.
"Yes, Miss was just asking me who such a good-looking girl was in the mirror." Herty said with a smile.
Agnes sighed a little depressedly and waited quietly for the maid to finish sorting out all the details of her body.
Ever since she returned from the Church's undergrounds, her potion digestion had come to a near standstill. The most fundamental reason is that she has never made up her mind to play in front of her family and friends, just like she does today.
She craves the warmth of family and friends, and fears the disgust and fear she may have once she begins to play on them.
After all, people are still social animals, even if she no longer cares about her reputation, she has not reached the realm of "not being happy with things, not being sad about herself", and she does not really care about the words of others at all. There are even times when she cares a lot about what others say, especially if it comes from someone close to her.
Unlike when they were in the underground of the church, Lord Rossi knew that they were playing, and even if the priest was frightened by herself, they would explain it to them. You can play it freely, and you don't need to worry about any follow-up problems.
And here, you can't reveal to them what you're doing, and playing a lot of follow-up problems will also arise. After all, what she needs to play now is a "madman" and a "werewolf", which will not bring her any good reputation. And as the daughter of Count Pagni, she has a bad reputation that will undoubtedly have an impact on her father.
Although she asked her father about it that day, he also gave her the answer "We are not small aristocrats". According to what she knew about her father, he meant that he didn't care about other people's opinions, and even if something went wrong, he wouldn't give up on Agnes.
Actually, yes, after all, the news of her serious illness had spread in the social circles of Fenerport City for a long time, and in March, when her mother held a music salon, she heard some ladies saying things like "She's so pathetic".
The family of Count Pagani is indeed not a minor noble, and even the mainstay of the new aristocracy, and there is no concern of bankruptcy. Because his grandfather chose to break with his great-grandfather, he was only his father's only son, and he was not prosperous.
Fathers really don't need to be like the little nobles, when the children in the family are seriously ill and insane, they choose to send them to the convent to relieve their burden, or even "to serve God", for them the final value of these children is to fight for the family to make a good name.
But Agnes has always been very unaccustomed to letting herself be a drag on others, especially if she is deliberate.
She wants to leave home for a while until the role is done. But first, she walks into the "prisoner" sequence, a person who gets out of control if she doesn't pay attention; Second, she herself may well have been connected to some of these secret beings; Finally, she also accommodated the traits of "Maniac" and "Werewolf" at one time, and although she is not out of control at the moment, there is no doubt that the curse of "Werewolf" has been strengthened to some extent before she has fully digested "Maniac".
There was no way the church would allow someone like her to leave Fenerport City like a bomb that could explode at any moment.
If she forcibly leaves, she will most likely be considered by the church to be showing signs of losing control and will be wanted by the church.
She wants to leave to play, not to completely give up her identity, and from then on incognito, with no connection with her relatives and friends.
"Alright, perfect." Hetty looked at Agnes' whole body, clapped her hands, and said.
"I'll tell the countess." Betty next to her said.
According to the etiquette manual, young unmarried women must be accompanied by an older female companion before entering social situations.
Agnes became an extraordinary person at the beginning of this year, and the "disease" no longer affects her daily life. Since February this year, she has only started to participate in balls and dinners, but she must be accompanied by an older female companion and introduce her identity, and her mother is undoubtedly the best female companion.
She has never liked to participate in social interactions, but since her father asks for it, she will also comply with his father's wishes and go to this ball to announce her return. At the same time, she wanted to see if some of the subtle madness would have the same effect.
If it worked, she probably wouldn't need to leave Fenerport City.
......
Agnes had just danced with her mother, to imply that neither of them had a partner, and perhaps her mother had thoughts about her dancing again.
Agnes was actually a little nervous at the time, after all, she hadn't danced in a long time, and she was worried that she would step on her mother or not be able to keep up with her. But fortunately, after accommodating the traits of "Maniac" and "Werewolf", the effect of "physical enhancement and sensitization of perception" was enhanced, and she completed her first dance of the day perfectly.
Agnes reached out and gently picked up the juice on the table and took a sip, she looked at the people on the dance floor, and slightly hooked the corners of her mouth. Mother had been invited by acquaintances before, and now she was the only one in the corner here.
Others may feel embarrassed or anxious in such a situation, but Agnes didn't care much about this in the first place, and naturally enjoyed resting here and even watching other people dance.
Agnes saw a young gentleman in a brown coat, black patent leather trousers, and boots walking towards her, and Agnes stared at her slightly, then pulled a smile at the corner of her mouth and looked at the other person.
The other party's short blonde hair is very well groomed, with an elegant and perfect smile on his face. He walked up to Agnes and bowed, and Agnes found that he had bent in an almost perfect arc of 15°.
"This young lady, I want to ask you to dance, is that okay?"
Agnes' smile became more pronounced, she nodded, stood up, and said, "Of course, Mr. Durant." ”
