Princess' personal painter

Looking at the little fox girl who had fallen asleep in Xingtong's arms due to sleepiness, Irene asked softly: "What's the matter with Luo Luo's body?"

"A few years ago, someone poisoned her when I was not prepared. Although she survived by chance, her internal organs were corroded by the poison and suffered a lot of damage." Xingtong said faintly. Sighing, "I don't know when I will be recuperated..."

"My sis should be able to treat it, right?" Irene asked.

"Indeed, but her condition is a failure of physical function, and the effect of treatment is not good."

Putting Luo Luo's body on the bed, Xingtong looked softly at her younger sister who was sleeping on the bed, and said softly: "If even Her Royal Highness can't cure her illness, I don't know what to do... What a worrying kid..."

Next, Xingtong stayed in the room to take care of her younger sister, while Aileen returned to her own room, took out the drawing board out of boredom, and started fiddling with it.

The time alone passed quietly, and before I knew it, it was time for dinner.

When Eunika opened the door and walked into the room, she happened to see a painting made by Erin on the drawing board, and she herself was staring at the painting in a daze.There was a strange look in Eunika's eyes, and she said, "Xia asked me to come to you and said that we would go to the ball together."

"Huh? Prom?"

The next moment, Erin realized that it was Eunika's voice, and she couldn't help but panic.

She instinctively wanted to reach out to cover the drawing board, but then realized that Eunika had probably seen the painting, and her panicked movements froze immediately.Irene bit her lip and whispered, "When you come in next time, can you knock on the door first?"

The weird atmosphere lasted for a while, and Eunika threw a set of clothes on the bed, and said lightly, "After changing, come find me in the middle hall." After that, she walked out of the room without looking back.

Turning around and seeing the dress on the bed, Irene picked it up with puffy cheeks. After looking at it for a while, she felt regretful.

She lost her temper just now, and she didn't say anything to keep Unica in anger. The situation that Erin will face now is that she has to rely on herself to wear this dress that is a bit complicated for her.

And, going to prom or something, sounds a little tricky?

After hesitating for a while, Irene still studied this light pink dress, and spent a lot of time putting it on.This was the first time she had put on such a "cute" dress, and she stood awkwardly in front of the mirror for a long time before she got used to her new look.

This is a simple yet lively pink dress, which fits Eileen very well.

The bowknot on the chest perfectly reflects the girl's slender figure, and the flamboyant skirt blooms an inch above her knees, and the embellished lace seems to exude a lustrous luster.In Eileen's eyes, the girl in the mirror seemed to be someone from a fairy tale world, with a dreamy aura all over her body.

Uh, so cute... Woow, I'm not narcissistic!

Appreciating herself with shame for a while, Erin suddenly remembered that Eunika was still waiting for her in the middle hall, and the delay here seemed a bit long?

Thinking that the other party was likely to be angry, Erin suddenly panicked.Regardless of her shame, she hurried out of the room and trot towards the central hall.

Running around in a skirt is of course inconvenient. Fortunately, at this time, most of the servants in the castle are busy with the ball that will be held later, so no one saw Irene's gaffe along the way.

When she was about to reach the central hall, Irene ran to the corner of the stairway, but a figure suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. Irene couldn't stop for a while, and bumped into the opponent.

Erin, who was a little dazed from the bump, raised her head in a daze.

"Miss, are you okay?" The person who spoke was a handsome young man in a blue dress, and he was looking at Irene with a thoughtful expression.

Eh?Why did this kind of vulgar unfolding happen to me!

"It's okay." Shaking her head quickly, Erin was about to pass the youth and move on.

But seeing the young man's hand stretched out suddenly, he stayed there for a while, just a short distance from his forehead, and then asked gently: "I seem to have met Miss somewhere, can you tell me your name?"

The behavior of the young man naturally touched Irene's warning line. She took a step back, shook her head and said, "Your way of striking up a conversation is too outdated! No comment, sorry!" After that, she ignored the young man, Walked straight past him.

"The way to strike up a conversation...too outdated?" Standing in place and watching Irene's back going away, the young man muttered to himself, his expression a little strange for a moment.

As for Irene on the other side, it was after walking a long distance that she noticed something strange.

Her heart skipped a beat, she stopped, and looked at the long corridor she had just walked through, only to find that the figure of the "young man" had disappeared.She squinted her eyes, recalling what happened just now - she, who has an extremely keen intuition, was completely unaware of the other party's aura, and bumped into him unconsciously, which showed that "he" itself was powerful. people.

Moreover, it is the first time I have encountered an illusion that can fool me, other than the one performed by my sister...

Chapter 79 The Princess' Conjecture

Under the gorgeous lights, the male and female nobles each put on expensive costumes, scattered in twos and threes in various exchanges in the hall, talking with each other with smiles on their faces, enjoying this rare gathering.The attendants who shuttled back and forth served exquisite snacks, and the specially invited musicians played pleasant music in the dark, and the noble girls in costumes strolled in the hall with light steps.

This grand gathering of nobles gathered almost all the powerful people in the southern area of ​​Ruolin, and also included many commoner knights who had made military exploits.

As Sisyana's maids, Irene and Eunika were also fortunate enough to enter such an occasion. At this time, the two were sitting on an inconspicuous sofa in the corner, enjoying the food casually.

Eileen's late arrival just now had annoyed Eunika after all, but she didn't show it.

Wearing a simple silver-white dress and combing her long hair into a simple bun behind her head, Unica, who has done such a dress up, slightly conceals the youthfulness of the girl, revealing a beautiful figure It makes her look quite mature.And that beautiful face that was still indifferent, as if not intimidating and angry, added a bit of neutral beauty to her, which made Irene's heart flutter when she saw this scene for the first time, and her cheeks turned red involuntarily.

After asking Irene if she wanted to spend time learning how to dance, and getting a negative answer, Eunika didn't force her, and led her directly to the ball hall.

Regarding the matter of bumping into the strange "youth" in the corridor just now, Irene weighed it in her heart, but she didn't say it after all-judging from the other party's tone at the time, it seemed to have a lot to do with her own background, if If "he" is interested, he will definitely find him in the future.

As for Irene and Unica, since they came to the ball hall, the aura between the two has been a little strange, and they have kept silent to each other.Fortunately, Wenjiesi was still sitting next to him. Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he introduced the nobles present to Irene, which slightly resolved the embarrassment of the scene.

After the nobles enjoyed their food for a while, they saw Lawrence walking to the center of the dance floor and announcing the official start of the dance to everyone.At the same time as the voice fell, the music between the venues became a relaxed and carefree style.

As the protagonist of the ball, Lawrence invited the daughter of a great nobleman to dance with him, and the girl who was lucky enough to be invited naturally readily agreed.Accompanied by the light and lively music, the graceful dance of His Royal Highness and the noble daughter on the dance floor quickly brought the atmosphere to a climax. After the two left the stage, immediately there were more handsome nobles leading the moving audience. lady enters the dance floor.

This kind of ball among the upper-class nobles is full of friendship and communication in itself, and Irene and the others, as the hot servants of Sisyana, have naturally received a lot of attention.Many nobles who wanted to get close to the princess came over and invited Irene and Unika to dance together.

To the people who came to invite the dancers, Eunika gave the same answer with impeccable manner: "I'm sorry, I already have a partner." The partner she mentioned was naturally wearing a knight dress beside her. , the compatriot brother Wenjiesi who was tasting the red wine by himself.

Of course, this reason is not enough to reject everyone. Eunika's beauty makes her the target of young heroes who want to kiss her—even if people know that there are some subtleties in her life experience, but in the traditional society of the aristocracy The hidden dangers in this place are more fascinating like mellow fine wine.

The same is true for Erin.

In order to completely put an end to the young people who came to invite the dancer, Eunika simply dragged Wenjiesi into the dance floor together.

Both of them are top fighters with excellent physical coordination, so it is not a problem to cooperate with each other to dance a dance.The exquisite dance performed by the brother and sister caused the crowd to applaud and applaud, and even Irene felt a little envious——every time it came to this time, she felt overwhelmed by the fact that she was a girl. Feelings of sadness and frustration.

Moreover, the predicament that Irene is facing at this time is precisely because she is a "lovely girl".

She rejected a large number of invitees on the grounds that she could not dance. After a while, another group of young people who volunteered to teach her dance came.

Among them, even though the rumors of Irene killing on the battlefield as a magician were known to many people before that, the girl against the background of the pink dress at this time has a very pitiful appearance. There was an air of "come and abduct me".

I saw that she was clutching the corner of her skirt at a loss, her eyes were full of crystal tears, she was biting her lip and she couldn't speak at all—this cowardly and provocative appearance is absolutely lethal to men.Many young people who were frustrated by Unica were also attracted, and turned their targets to Irene. In just a short while, she almost became the most sought after woman in the hall.

Poor Irene, this is the first time she has been surrounded by so many opposite sexes since she officially became a girl. She can fully feel the aggressive desire from males.I found myself in a very dangerous situation, and Eunika next to me showed a stand-by attitude... After feeling wronged and helpless, Irene had to start to doubt, and asked her to change into this cute dress to participate in the competition. Was the prom thing a huge trap?

Could it be that I know that my sexual orientation is not right, so I want to correct it in this way?

"It's not good for so many big men to band together to bully a girl?" The person who was walking over to speak was a noble girl with an unfamiliar face.

Wearing a turquoise evening dress with sapphires hanging on her chest, her beautiful facial features seemed to reveal an inherent pride. Just standing there, this noble girl exuded an aura of a leader.She glanced around and said calmly: "I have a private matter and I want to talk to Miss Auerbach, can I ask everyone to make it easier, I am very grateful."

After the men nearby dispersed, Irene looked at the girl with grateful eyes.I saw the girl sitting directly beside Irene, and said with deep meaning: "Showing weakness is a woman's best weapon against a man, but sometimes doing so will only backfire, and appropriate strength is also very necessary. "

Irene was taken aback for a moment, then replied in a low voice: "Thank you for your teaching."

"You don't need to thank me, I just have more experience in dealing with men." As she spoke, the girl smiled and extended her hand to Irene, "It's our first meeting, my name is Dale Palin, I'm very glad to have the opportunity Meet Miss Auerbach, and hope to make a friend of you."

Holding the slender hand of the girl named Dai'er in a daze, Irene suddenly realized something, and asked hesitantly, "Pellin's surname, could it be..."

"As you can imagine, my father is Rudolf Perrin, the Duke of the Sunset. He is entangled in trifles and cannot come to the party this time." Dale said in a sincere tone, "Some time ago, my father offended Miss Auerbach , let me apologize on my behalf, and hope to get your understanding."

Irene had already remembered that she was the girl who was invited by Lawrence as a dance partner at the beginning of the ball.

Indeed, in such an aristocratic social occasion, probably only the duke's daughter, who is second only to members of the royal family, has enough weight to help Irene out of the siege.

Of course, for Irene, the Duke of the Sunset made a killer move as soon as they met. Naturally, this level of grievance cannot be easily resolved by an apology.She shook her head calmly, and replied: "I'm afraid your father will still not show mercy to me when we meet next time."

"That's not the case." Dai'er showed an apologetic smile, and explained softly, "Father recognized you as someone else, and that's why you acted recklessly. What happened later on the battlefield also confirmed that Miss Auerbach is an extremely talented magician just like Her Royal Highness, although for some reason, her aura at that time was somewhat similar to that of a witch... My father is too stubborn, and the incident back then was indeed a big one, so I'm afraid I won't be able to embarrass myself I apologize, so I can only come here on my behalf."

After a pause, Dai'er lowered her volume and said, "I also hope that Miss Auerbach can do me a favor and convey the intention of reconciliation to Her Royal Highness. My family will be very grateful."

The daughter of the Palin family spoke earnestly, and according to the situation, she should accept a settlement.At this time, Keelin thought of Jacqueline, and thought that she was treated differently by the world just because she was a witch. She felt a sudden pain in her heart, and said in a low voice: "But at that time, your father really wanted to kill The person who died was none other than my best friend Jacqueline, as long as I know this, I cannot easily forgive him."

"Best friend?" Dai'er was slightly taken aback, then whispered, "If you think this is an unforgivable thing, I can't force you, I can only express my apology again. However, what my father was targeting at that time was not pure Witch, I believe you can think of this..."

Although Jacqueline is a witch hated by the world, she is also the granddaughter of Horus, the "Guardian of King Power". If the Duke of the Sunset really killed Jacqueline, it would also mean that he ignited the existence of the top of Wakabayashi's strength. anger, and this will inevitably lead to a lot of civil strife in Ruolin.

Therefore, even though Rudolph's motives were unbelievable, Lawrence had to deal with this matter carefully, and issued a gag order to all insiders, trying to hide the whole matter as much as possible.When they sent someone to send Jacqueline back to Alice's capital, it was actually for the safety of the little witch.

As if seeing what Irene was thinking, the beautiful and intelligent noble girl continued: "I don't know whether the following words should be said or not... My father once served as the prime minister of the kingdom and spent ten years He has been thinking about the future of the kingdom for a long time, even after leaving office, he has been thinking about it, and has never stopped communicating with His Majesty the King. Dear Miss Auerbach, can you understand what I mean?"

Suddenly hearing this from the girl's mouth, Irene couldn't help narrowing her eyes, and asked with some displeasure: "You mean, what he did at that time was for the sake of Ruolin's future?"

Dai'er was not surprised by Irene's hostility, but said again in a pleading tone: "Miss Auerbach, can I ask you to use the magic of isolating the sound? I have a bold guess, and I hope it can be approved by you." Pass it on to Her Majesty the Princess."

Although Irene's strength is still low, but this level of tricks can still be done.

She raised her hand and drew an arc in the air, allowing a transparent bubble-like barrier to surround the two of them, and at the same time isolate the outside sound.

"Magic... is really such a magical thing. Ms. Powerful Mage, men may be deceived by a woman's pure appearance, but I am not." Dai'er's eyes were still soft, but at this moment, Erin had the illusion that her soul was being seen through.

The invisible sense of oppression emanating from this wise girl made Irene a little unsure how to talk to her, so she could only respond politely: "That's absurd."

Staring at Irene at a close distance, Daier quickly found something in common with each other in the girl's eyes, and Dai'er said softly: "Your wisdom is hidden deep in your heart, and it will definitely play a role when it is critical. You escaped under the arrest of Ruhr and chose to seek refuge with Her Royal Highness, while you made the most correct choice, you also directly changed the trend of the two countries..."

Irene frowned slightly, and interrupted her: "Is that what you want to say?"

"Ah, I'm sorry. I had a feeling that I hated seeing Miss Auerbach, so I accidentally said some unnecessary words." With a soft breath, Dai'er's expression became serious, "That Your Majesty the 'Guardian of the King's Power' is the strong man that Ruobin has relied on the most for decades, but my father did not hesitate to cause civil strife to kill his granddaughter, I wonder if you have thought of a certain possibility?"

"Some kind of possibility?" Erin asked back.

Realizing that Irene was keeping her tongue tight, Dai'er could only smile helplessly, and continued: "If that lord is about to do something unfavorable to Ruolin, and my father knows about it, after seeing the 'witch' ' At that moment, I made an impromptu decision to disrupt the other party's deployment in a way that angered the lord..."

A certain conjecture became clearer in her mind, which made Irene panic. She whispered, "This is just your guess."

Dai'er smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed, this is just my guess as a weak woman. Because of my position, I always stand on my father's side. I believe he will never do any act of betraying the country. Therefore, you can To let someone like him make trouble, and not hesitate to kill you at that time, I must firmly believe that there is definitely a reason why I have to do that..."

"The reason why I have to do it..." Erin murmured to herself.

Dai'er's expression turned serious, and she finally brought out the main point of the conversation: "Ruolin's biggest reliance in the past 30 years, Horus, one of the top ten people on the mainland, may have a conspiracy..."

Chapter 80 Sudden Change at the Prom

The rumors about Horus' possible treason were too appalling after all.

After listening to these contents, Irene was silent for quite a while, and did not give any answer, but said that she would find time to convey this conjecture to Her Royal Highness.

Then Irene lifted the sound-proof magic, and Daier also stopped the topic just now, and said in a relaxed tone: "It's really a pleasure to be able to chat with Miss Auerbach."

Having said that, during the conversation just now, the noble daughter has always been the dominant party, and Irene was just passively listening to her speech.

She couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and sighed, "You are also very special."

Dai'er laughed lightly: "Special? Are you making fun of me? I'm just lucky enough to be born in a duke's family, and I have a little more to rely on." After a pause, she asked in a curious tone: "If I Like you or Her Royal Highness, if you can have strong strength, you will probably drive away those men just now without any pretense...Speaking of which, Miss Auerbach doesn't seem to have much contact with men?"

This question just hit Erin's weakness, her expression became a little weird for a while, but she finally chose a vague answer: "Yes, I haven't had much contact with men..."

No wonder, I have personally experienced it for 20 years...

Thinking of this, Irene's cheeks flushed a little.
