Days and nights of women's clothing in front of the Duke

Andy waited for a while, but Austin didn't move, and didn't intend to come in at all. It seemed that he just happened to pass by here, and the black curly hair was looming among the lush flowers.

Darwin ran out with soap in his hands, his face covered with foam: "God, Andy, this bubble smells so good, and you only need a little bit to make a lot of bubbles."

Andy, with an apple core nearly stuck in his throat, grabbed Darwin and got a headache for his stupidity, the idiot yelling for something.

"What did you call me?"

Darwin was stunned belatedly, almost kneeling down in fright from Andy's eyes, he shouted tremblingly, "O...O...Miss Oliver."

"Miss Oliver."

The Duke walked into the yard. He was still wearing a daytime coat, tall, thin, silent, gloomy and indifferent. There were no servants around him, and his green eyes were staring at Andy without blinking.

Andy threw away the apple core, waved his hand, and signaled Darwin to leave by himself.

Andy didn't ask until there were only two people left in the yard.

"What's the matter? Your Excellency the Duke."

The Duke coughed, looked away, and said reservedly: "Tonight, I don't think Miss Oliver has a partner yet...I'm here to invite you to the ball."

That tone of charity and pity, the attitude of aloofness.

Andy couldn't help grinding his teeth, and then pretended to be surprised: "What a coincidence, I have already agreed to someone else's invitation."

The Duke's body tensed up suddenly.

"Mr. Iliad invited me in advance."

Andy didn't tell a lie. The blond and blue-eyed Themis royal family offered him an invitation before getting off the carriage, but Andy refused on the grounds that he was unwell. There was no need to tell Austin about it.

The Duke's complexion changed slightly, and this result was probably beyond his expectation.

He said coldly: "Mr. Iliad, Miss Oliver, I... don't want to speak ill of anyone, but I have studied in Themis for a year and a half. Iliad is the crown prince of Themis, and he is not an upright person. man, I had an argument with him."

After the Duke finished speaking dryly, his green eyes looked straight at Andy.

Andy looked at him strangely, and said bluntly: "Why don't you simply say that I want to invite you as a dance partner."

The Duke was stunned, a blush slowly crept up his pale cheeks, he said in disbelief, "I didn't mean that."

He said very bluntly: "I'm just afraid that you will be very embarrassed if no one invites you. As a gentleman and as your lord, I have the responsibility to take care of your reputation and decency. Please don't talk nonsense."

Andy let out a short cry, which meant a strong sense of ridicule. The Duke's face was not very good-looking, but he still held his head stubbornly. He didn't even look at Andy, as if he really wronged himself for this purpose. , and suffered a great deal of slander.

"So, do you intend to reject Iliad?" The Duke glanced at Andy inadvertently.

Andy crossed his arms: "I remember you said, I hope we don't meet again if we have nothing to do."

The Duke said seriously: "That's why I came to you because of the ball, Miss Oliver."

Andy: "..." Stupid.

Andy refused mercilessly, and drove the hesitant and bad-spoken Duke out of his yard.

As for the dance.

Going to his ball, and having time to deal with those gentlemen and ladies, Andy would rather sleep at home, not to mention that the task of reaching Themis is over, and Miss Oliver's own courses and social interactions are completely out of Andy's consideration.

Let him learn to dance, sing and wink, die of this heart!Why should I, Andy, be responsible for Oliver's stupid woman.

What's more, she didn't pay a single gold coin, and Andy wouldn't suffer from the matter of empty hands and white wolves.

Andy felt at ease, and slept until the sun was up.

Then he was woken up in a hurry, and Darwin told him with a bad face: "Andy, you have to go to class, God, there are people waiting for you outside, you go out, I can't stand it anymore."

The nobles of Themis Academy are very close. For convenience and to regulate the work and rest time of gentlemen and ladies, they are paired up as partners to supervise each other.

The lady who was paired with Andy didn't see Andy at the ball yesterday, and she didn't wait for Andy at home today, so she went to Andy's mansion angrily and asked for an explanation.

However, the tall blond servant informed with embarrassment: "Miss Oliver hasn't gotten up yet."

"Lessons start in an hour! I've never been late in my life! You go! Make her get up! Only an uneducated bumpkin would keep such a useless stupid servant like you!"

The young lady bossed her around and was extremely arrogant. Darwin's brain ached from being scolded. He was not a formally trained servant, and after being scolded, he could act like a normal person.

"Let her go, I don't go to class." Andy sat on the bed with a cold face: "I don't want to wear those stupid clothes."

Darwin: "Didn't you read the student regulations? If you don't attend classes at Themis, you will be arrested."

Andy was not reconciled: "I'd rather go to jail than go dancing."

Darwin sighed: "It's not that you're going to jail, it's that you're going to class. They have a sorority for noble girls. I heard that they will fine you. We don't have the money to pay such a large fine. We will reveal our secrets."

"..."

Andy got up, gritted his teeth and began to dress, turning the good atmosphere into a tragic scene of wearing armor to fight the enemy for the last time. The lady waiting in the living room was already impatient, and when Andy came out, he couldn't help but sarcasm.

Coincidentally, this noble lady is the lady who asked to take a car alone yesterday. She has sharp lips and fast speech, and few people can check and balance. Andy twitched the corners of his mouth, resisting the urge to tear his skirt, and The noble lady said hello.

Julie sneered a few words at first, then looked at Andy contemptuously, and quickly shook her fan: "What a country bumpkin, let's go."

Andy held up her skirt and followed behind Julie without saying a word. The carriage waited at the gate of the yard. After waiting for the master, she began to kick and run, aiming at Themis Noble Ladies' Court, which was 10 minutes away. .

Andy was expressionless and sat upright.

Julie shook her fan, looked at Andy after a while, rolled her eyes and looked out of the window, scolded Andy several times in her heart, and Andy didn't want to talk to Julie, so she simply closed her eyes and rested her mind.

"Hillbilly," Julie said softly.

On the first day of class, Themis showed the noble ladies the brilliant civilization, economic prosperity, and openness of this vast land, which attracted many people to come to Themis.

The content of Andy's first day's class was dance, which was divided into theory and operation. He was forced to sit with many noble ladies and listened to elegant ladies talk about the origin of dance, the classification of different dances, their characteristics, and special culture.

Andy was drowsy from the beginning, but later found it quite interesting. He couldn't help but wrote down the notes. When he realized what he had done, he tore off the notes with an expression of disbelief, and violently kneaded them together. group.

Sitting next to him was still the mean lady, she looked at Andy's notes, and sneered: "It's so ugly, you are not allowed to write like that, we have to count the points together in the year-end assessment, if you dare to drag me hind leg, I'll have my father break your leg."

Andy raised his eyebrows, reached out and drew a cross in Julie's notebook.

Julie: "What are you stupid woman doing!!!"

"The two ladies in the third and fourth rows from the left column, do you have any questions?"

Julie pissed off: "She's a country nut! It ruined my notes!"

Andy raised her hand: "She insulted me, I want to complain to the Red Knight." Julie blushed, pointing at Andy speechless.

Fortunately, the class was about to end, and the teacher didn't plan to care about it. After the hourglass was finished and the class was announced to be over, Andy yawned and walked out of the classroom with his notebook in his arms.

This is when the Iliad appeared.

He is Themis' swordsmanship teacher, personable, gentle, politely stopped Andy, and invited him to lunch, without saying the reason, and without being too pleasant, straightforward.

But with those affectionate eyes, it seems to others that he probably has a good impression of this lady.

Andy originally wanted to refuse, he simply hated these blushing men, but Iliad's attitude was very earnest, which made him feel strange, and he felt a little inquiring.

So he nodded in agreement.

During the meal, Andy found that the gentleman was inquiring about the Duke's affairs inside and out. He prepared to say that it was about the Earl and the Duke on the big ship. He seemed a little anxious and asked in detail. Nonsense, only telling the facts that everyone knows, and covering up the details.

Themis is not involved in politics, and the royal family's children generally do not marry outsiders. Most of them marry merchants or civilian scholars. This Iliad is too enthusiastic about the Duke and Isa's affairs.

He took a sip of wine: "Isa's current crown prince is the mortal enemy of the Duke of Austin. I heard that the eldest prince has given up his right of inheritance and has become a knight in the temple. If the duke with a vast territory is at odds with the prince, This will be troublesome, the king may consider other candidates."

"What are you trying to say? I don't know politics, Mr. Iliad."

Iliad smiled and said: "Just casually speaking, I heard that you have a close relationship with the Duke. If possible, I would like you to do me a favor."

Andy said coldly: "You are wrong about this. I am not familiar with the Duke of Austin. He is my lord, and I am the daughter of a vassal. There will be no contact at all."

"Really?" Iliad said in surprise: "Duke Austin told me that you are his fiancée, and he doesn't want me to get too close to you."

Andy poked the fork on the table and took a deep breath: "When?"

"He told me alone at the ball yesterday."
