Chapter 184 Princess Aveline
A castle by the lake, somewhere in the attic of a tall tower.
The near-noon sun heats up a rock wall, and inside the modest exterior, here is an elegantly decorated room.
The snow-white ceiling has golden arabesque patterns, the floor is made of finely polished marble, the walls are hung with colorful and vivid oil paintings, and the furniture is also very delicate.
A girl with emerald hair was sitting at the desk, looking at some letters, and then writing something on special paper, which seemed to be a reply to someone. She has a pair of golden eyes like topaz, which gives a strange feeling of softness and hardness. The main body of the clothes worn on the body is white, and the collar and cuffs are decorated with golden leaves, which makes people feel gorgeous and elegant.
Although her appearance is not as alluring as Frocia's, she also has her own unique temperament.
As the sun gradually approached noon, there was a regular knock on the door, which was not loud, as if it was afraid of disturbing the people inside.
"Come in." The green-haired girl replied.
Squeak... With a slight push on the door, a young girl in a bright red dress walked in, looking at the white apron tied around her waist and chest, people might mistake her for a maid. But in fact, with that blond hair and that beautiful and proud face, no matter how you look at it, she is an eldest young lady. If she were to be a maid, many people would worry about being robbed of the limelight.
"Your Highness, the lunch is ready." The maid in the red dress stepped forward respectfully.
"Okay, I see." Aveline didn't look up, and after continuing to write a few letters, she slowly put down the long copper pen in her hand.
"Send these letters to those adults. Don't send their letters to me in the future, but pass them directly to Viscount Atley. He is a close minister by my father's side, so he naturally understands what I mean."
"Okay, Your Royal Highness." The maid girl in the red dress took the letter with both hands, hugged it to her chest, and followed behind Aveline out of the huge study, heading to the separate restaurant on the lower floor for dinner.
The walnut table has already been covered with a white tablecloth. If you look carefully, you can also see rose patterns embroidered with gold threads on the edge of the tablecloth, and in Verdant, roses often represent the royal family.
Seeing the two walk into the restaurant, the two maids who were waiting on the side also stepped forward and opened the lid on the table, revealing the still steaming lunch. Obviously, this set of tableware is an alchemical product with a fresh-keeping effect. After setting all kinds of tableware and drinks, the two formal maids in black and white uniforms left the room and stood by outside.
After Evelyn sat down, she briefly drank some green juice before eating slowly.
"How is the girl who went to observe yesterday?"
Yilin, who was standing beside Aveline, heard the princess ask her, and began to tell in detail what happened yesterday. The girl named Lorraine, her appearance, strength, etc., and the previous things about Jerain were also mentioned. out.
"I didn't expect Jerain to be interested in him so early. Of the few people in the school, I'm afraid I'm the latest to know."
"Sorry, Her Royal Highness, it's the subordinate's dereliction of duty." Yilin lowered her head a little uneasy. As Evelyn's confidant and the person in charge of intelligence, she really felt that she was not good enough.
"It's nothing, I will pay more attention to things in the school in the future, and I can't always focus on the country." Aveline said, and then she asked about the specific situation at that time.
"Did Ronald actually say so much?"
Elin nodded. "Yes, he not only shared the results of the investigation on that Miss Lorraine, but also said that His Royal Highness Edron belonged to another party and would not pursue this girl."
Evelyn ate her lunch carefully and listened to Elin's story before making her evaluation.
"It seems that this cousin is courting me, telling me his future plans and ambitions, so that I can feel at ease and not be suspicious of some of his actions."
"But, Your Highness, could it be that Prince Edron said this on purpose in order to hide his true thoughts." Irene didn't quite believe what Ronald said at the time.
"Maybe, but I think Edron shouldn't be bothered to lie about this." Evelyn also gradually finished her lunch, put down the cutlery in her hand, and took the half-wet hand towel handed by Elin. , stood up and left.
"Although Edron said a lot of things through Ronald's mouth, he was actually just trying to sell his favor and win you over."
"As long as you have the heart to investigate the matter of that Miss Lorraine, the information will be known sooner or later. In addition, about his marriage with someone else, even if everyone knows about it, so what?"
"Father's generation is old now, and he doesn't have too many thoughts of fighting. On the contrary, he will be more nostalgic. If he really wants to marry a big noble family, the father will look at the face of several uncles. It won't stop it, if you speak out against it, it will just make us wicked."
Evelyn analyzed them one by one, and said her opinion, as a princess who grew up freely in the royal family, she was not like her twin sister, she didn't know anything about the calculations between these nobles, but she knew and understood very early. consciousness. While mentioning Yilin, it can also be regarded as showing her sanity and strength.
Yilin's father is a real power earl, not only the head of the Black Thorns Legion guarding the capital, but also the current emperor's friend since childhood, and his two direct descendants, the eldest son follows the second prince's brother, and the second daughter Yilin. beside him. It is a double insurance, as long as one survives the change of the throne in the future, the family can continue.
This earl is a meticulous plan. The second prince's brother is currently the most vocal, and it is tentatively decided by the royal family.
The heirs, sisters Aveline and Tesslyn, are the most popular among the younger generation of the royal family, and because the succession is not so advanced, they get along pretty well.
"That's it, find a time to make an appointment with Miss Frozia. According to the news from the capital, Lord Landsworth seems to have given up and will no longer interfere with the royal family's proposal. Maybe she will become the empire's one in the future. White Queen. And now it happens that we are all in the City Wall College, and it is too much to waste such an opportunity."
"Okay, Her Royal Highness. Then... where is Miss Loren?" Yilin asked carefully behind her.
"Miss Lorraine... Leave it alone. After listening to your reports, I feel that she is not the kind of person who can easily win over her. Even the sages will provide some protection for a genius of this level. , If we really want to show goodwill, we probably have to end the game in person.”
"But my character, I know it myself, sometimes I think too much and think too much, and it's hard for me to open up to strangers. If I go with a mask like this, I'm afraid that a bad one will make people feel hypocritical and Neglect."
"If only Tesslyn was here, my sister is naive at times, but she is really likable, and I can't compare." Evelyn looked out the window at the forest mountains and the blue lake below. , let out a sigh.
