The gods crowned her [Famous Book]

The weather finally cleared up rarely, the sky was blue, and there were a few birds singing tirelessly from time to time.

Early in the morning, Alice called Sophia to remind Ivy to dress up and prepare for the picnic that was agreed yesterday.

Sofia was in charge of taking care of them during the two days of bothering in Mankasli.Although Ivy is not used to strangers approaching her bedroom, but fortunately, this is a passionate girl who dispelled the barrier at once.

According to Sophia’s own description, she comes from a small city in the south of France. After her parents passed away, she followed her grandfather’s family to Wales. Later, when she became an adult, she couldn’t get married, so she simply found something for herself, and she found it here.

Her English is not very good, so Ivy has a little trouble to identify the correct words from her uvula, but although communication is a bit tiring, fortunately, her lively and chatty mask this shortcoming.

For example, she often tells Ivy some gossip collected from various sources after meals.Although I don't know if the news is true or not, at least it sounds interesting.

Sometimes Sophia gets excited under Ivy's probing eyes, and even reveals the truth about her young master. With those pearly eyes, she whispers to her ear: "Sometimes I even suspect Kevin Does the young master not like women?"

"Actually, I thought so too."

"That's right!" Sophia was happy to have someone of the same kind. "When I first came to the UK, I was shocked by the cultural atmosphere here. Before that, I couldn't imagine the existence of homosexuality. How could men like men. "

Ivy had to express in her heart that Sophia still had little knowledge.

In the next three centuries, not only will she not be shocked, but she will also become accustomed to this hobby, and even take the initiative to accept this fact.

But in this era, the germination can already be seen, and Ivy is still a little surprised.

"Then Mr. Clarence doesn't really like men?"

"At present, there is no definite evidence of Master Kevin's sexual orientation. But at least we have never seen him actively talk to women, and even have very little contact. Except for his late mother, he may not have normal communication with women for several years pass."

"Sophia, are you ready to change the lady's clothes?" The two were talking excitedly, but Alice downstairs guessed that there had been no movement, so she couldn't help urging.

"Oh, I'll be right away!" Seeing this, she hurriedly put on a Klein blue dress for Ivy, fearing that it would be a bit cold if it was warm and cold, and put on a snow-white cashmere shawl for her, with her hair loose Comb it, let it fall down naturally, and put on a light-colored hat.

Klein blue is mysterious and noble. The sun shines on it like sinking into a sparkling lake. It is deep and elegant. Ivy is already slender, and the upper body of this skirt is even more temperamental.

"I dare say that if Miss Ivy appears at the royal ball, she will definitely be pursued by many princes."

"Let them chase after me, I won't agree anyway." Ivy said with a smile, put on the blue crystal necklace and went downstairs.

-

The lawn is wet and slippery because it has just rained. Many wild flowers are particularly vibrant under the bright sun. The goose-yellow winter jasmine is connected into a piece, and the double-petaled violets bloom in a sea of ​​flowers nearby, dyeing the eyes It became light purple.

Ivy breathed the fresh air in late spring, let the sweet and fresh smell enter her lungs, Alice stretched comfortably beside her, and sighed: "If Britain can maintain this weather all year round alright."

"I think so too, except for sleeping, the rain is the most disturbing thing at other times."

"Then you're fine. I'm a light sleeper. The sound of rain often makes me toss and turn in bed and can't fall asleep. So I put a few novels by the bed, and I will open them when I have insomnia."

"Speaking of which, I found two good novels in the room, and they were pretty good."

Alice understood: "That's what I put there specially for you to see, it was my favorite plot, the cunning vampire and the scheming noble lady get close to each other by instinct.

One pretends to be infatuated with each other's beautiful face but actually seeks blood, while the other wears a mask of innocence, but secretly deceives feelings. No one knows what kind of thoughts the other party hides under the appearance they see, and outsiders only think that they are two deeply in love.Little do they know that no matter which side is seeking skin with the tiger. "

It sounds very touching. Although it doesn't feel good to be spoiled, Ivy is still attracted: "This kind of story of white cutting black and black eating black is really novel. Although it may not be accepted by the world, but I like this kind of heroine very much.”

"Ivy, as long as you want, you can also be such a girl. But you have to be ready to face their accusations and criticisms."

"It was seen through by you, but I don't care if they point and point. I can do whatever I like. I only love myself in my eyes."

As Ivy said, she raised her eyes by chance, and happened to see Kevin not far away, who was concentrating on drawing something.

In front of him was a drawing paper with a colorful palette, and he looked like a professional painter.

"I didn't know that Mr. Clarence had this literary hobby." She looked at Alice jokingly, biting a piece of baked sweet potato chips in her mouth.

"He is indeed quite accomplished in painting, and his mother even hired a Parisian painter to guide him at home, but his father was extremely dissatisfied with this, saying that this is not a hobby that a future duke should have, and ordered him to stop painting. obsession."

It sounds like the old Duke of Clarence is exactly the same as those modern authoritarian parents who kill children's interests, forbid them to learn things they think are worthless, and forcefully destroy future artists in their cradles.

"That's really a pity." Ivy sighed sincerely, and heard Alice's curious voice, "Why don't we go and see what he is painting, why do I feel that his eyes seem to be looking at you."

Ivy's hand was half-dragged and half-dragged by her, and Kevin's side face was as handsome as a star in the sunlight. The contrast between his fair skin and his aggressive and sharp facial features made him even more beautiful. As handsome as the gods in Greek mythology.

"What are you drawing, show us."

Alice's crisp laughter broke the silence in an instant. Kevin was obviously startled, and quickly got out of the painting. When he looked up and saw the two of them, there was an inexplicable panic on his face, and he quickly turned the page in his hand .

"It's nothing..." Kevin lowered his head slightly, avoiding his sister's probing eyes. "I think late spring is really a charming season with great vitality, so I just drew some scenery."

Ivy suspected that she had read it wrong. Kevin, who had always been as proud as his father, was a little embarrassed, and even had a hurried tone, as if he was trying to defend something.

"Then what can't be seen?" Alice's reaction to her brother was even more strange, and she stepped forward forcefully to turn the drawing paper back.

"Alysette." Kevin frowned displeasedly, and even called out his sister's name seriously to stop, "You can go to my other paintings, this one is not worth your time."

"That's right, Alice, Mr. Clarence may have made a mistake. If you don't mind, go back and show me his other paintings." Ivy was afraid that the atmosphere would be tense because of a painting, so she hurriedly stood up to adjust the atmosphere .

"Okay, then I'll go back first, you guys remember to come back together before dinner."

Seeing that she was about to leave and go home early, Ivy couldn't help but wonder: "Of course we're going back together, why are you leaving us here in such a hurry?"

"I'm going to cook for you and bake cakes for you. You can stay here and walk around. It will take a while for my brother to finish painting. You can wait for him for me."

Ivy thought for a while, but couldn't find a reason to refute her request. However, before she could refuse, Alice got on the horse and walked away, leaving only splashes of mud flying in the air.

Now there was only two awkward young men and women left in the vast and empty lawn.

Kevin didn't seem to notice that his sister had left. He concentrated on painting his landscape watercolors, as if he didn't care about everything that happened around him.

Only Ivy sat on the wild grass and couldn't find anyone to talk to. She was forced to stand up and look into the distance. She watched the mist lingering on the top of the mountain.

Her pupils widened instantly, and she immediately yelled in horror: "Mr. Clarence, it's raining!"
