Quick Wear: I'm bound to the love strategy system
Chapter 158 The Noble Mad Duke * The Speculative Girl (16)
This news is not entirely good news for April.
Because she didn't have a dress to attend the ball at Blanchett Manor, her status could only be in the side hall.
Dancing in the side hall, dancing in the side hall...
This was unbearable for April.
But this was at Blanchett Manor, and given her status, it was a blessing for her to have a chance to dance in the side hall.
Oh, Father God, look at it all.
She never thought she would suffer such a fate.
She, April Sciarra, was going to dance in the side hall in her cheap dress.
There were two forces tearing at each other inside April.
A force was telling her.
April, this is a rare opportunity for you. You will be able to meet many noble gentlemen through it.
Although those gentlemen's attitude towards her was probably arrogant and with a strange angle.
April almost wanted to smash the bamboo flute that was placed on the wall.
If it weren't for it, she wouldn't have suffered such a fate.
She should teach Lina the harp according to the most orthodox lady's education.
Then she wouldn't have come to Blanchett Manor.
This place constantly reminds her that she is not noble.
Another force within her spoke gently to April.
April, don't forget the inscription in the rose garden.
Every lady should be reserved and proud.
You have already lost your dignity, are you going to lose your pride too?
Automatically put yourself in a lower class.
Even if you went to the dance, would you really be content?
April looked at the moonlight outside the window and for some reason thought of Strahl.
She thought, if only she could be him.
What trouble would she have then?
Noble, wealthy, and a gentleman.
The nobles in the royal city are all very good at enjoying themselves, and holding dances at home is a common occurrence.
Blanchett is not an outlier, it’s just that it’s rarely held at the Blanchett estate.
Blanchett has plenty of places for them to have their dance parties.
April heard an older lady say as she was sitting in the restaurant eating.
Duke Blanchett was going to choose his fiancée at this ball.
With his background, he should have had a noble fiancée long ago.
It's just because his parents died early and there was no one to choose for him.
Fortunately, Duke Blanchett had a godfather who loved him very much, and His Holiness the Pope organized this ball for him.
Although the Lord himself cannot be present, his will will loom over Blanchett Manor.
When April heard the lady say this in a pious tone, she didn't feel honored, she just felt terrified.
On the day of the ball, almost everyone in the castle was busy.
Of course, this does not include April.
She has made up her mind not to attend the dance tonight.
As if to prove her unshakable will, April dressed even more simply than usual.
A simple white long dress, made of silk, with long curly hair all tied up and only decorated with some small pearls.
This is an ordinary dress, at least that's what it looks like from the outside.
But April herself knew that when the skirt spun, its hem looked like a blooming rose.
But unfortunately, no one will see it.
Before the dance started, April quietly avoided the crowd and hid in the library.
In April's opinion.
The time when people are most equal is when they are facing books.
It was getting dark and the lights in the library were dim, but April brought her own oil lamp.
April climbed up to the bookshelf where she had seen Blanchett before and took out the book that she had borrowed last time but hadn't read.
Because this book is a painted manuscript, it is two to three times the size of an ordinary book.
Perhaps it is not accurate to call it a book, as it is more like a painter's notebook.
Yes, that's right, after reading this book, April was willing to call the owner of this manuscript a painter.
Most of the paintings in this manuscript only have simple strokes, but they depict the most beautiful appearance of all things.
April originally thought that she preferred colorful paintings, but after looking at the simple black lines in the album, April changed her mind.
The most common flower in this album is irises, but April feels that the most beautiful flower is wisteria, which only appears on two pages.
April stretched out her fingers and drew unconsciously on the long wooden table.
She began to imagine what such a painting would look like under her own hands.
But no matter what, April could never satisfy herself.
She pinched the back of her neck irritably.
But at this moment, April heard a gentle voice, like the wisteria flowers on the branches.
"You can't paint when you want to, Miss Shara, don't be too anxious."
April turned around hastily and saw Strahl leaning against the bookshelf.
In the dim light, April couldn't see Strahl's face, but April herself was exposed.
Strahl saw clearly every shrinkage in her eyes.
April could only smell the scent of iris on Strahl.
At this moment, Strahl was not arrogant, which made April feel very strange.
She stood up, blocking the picture album she was looking at.
asked Strahl.
"Mr. Blanchett, I thought you would be at the ball by now."
Strahl asked back, imitating April's example.
"Ms. Shara, I thought you would be at the ball by now."
At this moment, April miraculously understood what Strahl meant. I won't try to understand your intentions, and you don't try to understand mine.
She briefly brought the subject back and continued with what Strahl had just said.
"Has Mr. Blanchett also seen the manuscript?"
Strahl hid himself very well, and April couldn't see his expression, but his voice was gentle at the moment.
But it was not the usual kind of gentleness.
Strahl chuckled at April's question.
"The manuscript you are looking at is the work of my mother, who is a very talented person."
April was a little shocked. Strahl's mother was like a mystery and there was so little information about her.
“I didn’t expect Mrs. Blanchett to be so talented, but not many people seem to know about it.”
April couldn't help but sigh.
"What a pity."
The darkness protected Strahl. April couldn't see Strahl's expression, but she could tell from his voice that he was in a good mood.
"Yes, Mrs. Blanchett is very talented, but not many people know it."
April knew that her next question was a bit presumptuous, but she couldn't help but ask it.
"Mr. Blanchett, does your mother have any completed works?"
What she meant was that she really wanted to see it.
But Strahl changed the subject again and asked April.
"Miss Shara, everyone is dancing this night. Would you like to dance with me?"
