[Daughter of the Sea] English Fairy Tale

In the middle of the opera performance, Isis fell asleep without any accident.By the time Cesare woke her up, the actors had already finished their curtain calls.

"Did I fall asleep again?" The girl rubbed her eyes as she spoke, and the blanket slipped off her body.

Picking up the dropped blanket, César said with interest: "This is the first time I've seen someone fall asleep listening to an opera."

The girl was not at all embarrassed. She rubbed her neck and said nonchalantly, "It is said that the elegant art of opera is not suitable for me... So, can I go home now?"

The crowd in the hall below had already started to leave.Isis's carriage was waiting at the main entrance, so César and her waited for a while before going down from the second floor.

"I just said that they haven't left yet." Madam Andrea waved to Isis, "I almost forgot before, this is a special spice I found for Helen... After lighting it, it can help sleep and calm the nerves."

Taking the sachet, Isis sniffed it close to the tip of her nose. The faint fragrance is refreshing: "It smells good. Aunt Liya, I will give it to my mother."

"Then, I will send Isis back to the palace first." César nodded to the duke and his wife.

The hustle and bustle died down, and the street seemed a little deserted.The temperature was a little low at night, Isis gathered her shawl and suggested, "It's so cold outside, let's take a ride together."

Seeing the girl's concerned eyes, the man smiled and said, "I don't care, you get in the car first."

At this time, he became a gentleman instead.Isis had no choice but to board the carriage by herself, and the airtight space was indeed warmer.Taking off the shawl, Isis leaned on the cushion and prepared to take a nap while on the road.

"Clifford." Outside the car door, César suddenly said, "Why are you here?"

Seeing the man, the boy didn't show too much surprise, "I'm here to see the opera. Mr. Lopsch is a well-known composer and singer. Today's performance is really great...Is the princess here too?"

"Isis is in the carriage, and we are getting ready to return."

The girl could hear the conversation between the two clearly: it turns out that Clifford also likes to watch operas, and it turns out that he is the only one who is "different"—is he an insulator of elegant art? !

Isis hadn't seen the boy since the last time she saw Clifford at César's house, so she considered saying hello.

"My dear cousin, you are moving too slowly."

The strange but familiar male voice that suddenly sounded successfully stopped the girl's next movements.This is—that voice.

"My cousin, this is Count Cesare."

"Augustin." The man stretched out his hand and said, "Clifford always mentions your name, Earl, in front of me."

"Really?" César looked at the man opposite and said with a smile, "It's the first time we meet, just call me César."

The moment the carriage passed by the two of them, Isis couldn't hold back her curiosity and secretly lifted a corner of the curtain.It was a pair of blue eyes, the corners of which were slightly raised, showing a charming look under the cover of the light.

Unexpectedly, Augustine looked in his direction.Not good, seen?Isis was really taken aback, as soon as she loosened the curtains, they immediately fell.

"Clifford, who's in that carriage?" The man turned to his cousin with great interest.

The boy named looked helplessly at his cousin, "Even if you've been away from London for so long...can't you tell from the emblem on the car door?"

"In the carriage is His Majesty's only daughter—Princess Isis."

In fact, after picking up the earring, Augustine went to the manager of the theater.The answer I got was: For the safety of Her Royal Highness, only six private rooms on the second floor will be open tonight.

Of the six boxes, there were only five if he and Clifford were excluded.And the one who wears this style of earrings must be a young girl...

"Things are really getting more and more interesting."

As soon as he said that, the man pulled the rein of the horse and ran forward, "Dear Clifford, I wronged you to take the carriage home."

"Hey, wait for me." Although I don't know what my cousin's plan is, it is definitely not a good thing given the other party's personality.

"Well, I'm so tired." The girl yawned big, "Good morning everyone."

"Did you sleep well?" Queen Helen asked, looking at Isis's sleepy expression.

After taking a sip of tea, the girl nodded, "I'm just a little dizzy, maybe I slept too much."

"Brother Cesare carried you back to your room yesterday." Felicia said vaguely while eating bread, "Emma can't wake you up no matter what."

"Uh - no way." I don't have the slightest impression.

"You slept so hard, how would you know." Cecilia said coolly, "At that time, even if the sky falls, you won't wake up."

"I'll take Felicia back to your Aunt Beatrice later." Helen looked at the three girls with a smile, "Cecilia will also go with her."

"What about me?" Isis pointed to herself suspiciously.

"I have something else to arrange for you today." Helen motioned Sheria to take her notepad, "George Sand's hand injury is still not healed, and the portrait he drew for you was only half finished... It just so happened that he told me a few days ago My and his students are back."

"Okay." Isis thought of Mr. George Sand's apologetic expression, "Hurry up and finish the rest, Uncle George Sand of the province is always thinking about this matter."

After breakfast, Helen took the two girls and left by car as promised.Isis went to the blue living room on the second floor to wait.

"Why don't you come?" Seeing that the agreed time had passed, the girl became impatient, "Emma, ​​go and help me."

"Princess Isis, Mr. Augustine is here." Just as Emma was about to go to have a look, a palace maid suddenly pushed the door and reported, "Do you want him to come in?"

"What did you say? Augustine." Isis repeated.

"Yes, that's how the visitor introduced himself." The maid bowed her head and replied.

God, it won't be the same as I thought.The girl looked calm on the surface, but secretly she already had the urge to kill herself with a piece of tofu.

Calm down, calm down, Isis.Anyway, he didn't see you yesterday, so just pretend he doesn't know you for a while.

"Let him in." Isis sat back on the sofa.The easel has already been set up in the center of the living room and the painting is only half finished.

"Your Highness, long time no see." The man bowed and saluted.

Damn, in fact, what I want to say is that it would be best not to see each other again.Who knew that such an upright and lovely old man would have a student like a playboy.

"First meeting, Mr. Augustine." Isis gave an official smile, "Let's start now, if you hurry up, you can still go home for dinner."

It was the first time a girl actually spoke to himself like this, Augustine curled his lips, "As you wish, then let's start now."

Isis looked at the man who was painting herself, and couldn't help complaining: Tsk tsk, he is indeed quite pretty.However, the eyes are too peachy; the lips are too thin; the skin color is too dark...

The girl thought over and over in her heart: All in all, she is not as good-looking as César.Playboys are unforgivable.Grip!

"Your Highness, you have been staring at me since just now, is there something wrong with my face?" The man put down the paint in his hand, picked up the brush and continued to paint on the painting.

"Ah, Mr. Augustine, when did you become teacher George Sand's student." Isis changed the subject with a dry smile, "I never heard the teacher mention you."

After not getting an answer for a long time, Isis simply closed her mouth and stopped talking.She still understands the truth of saying too much and making mistakes.

"Okay, princess." After an unknown amount of time, just as Isis was about to sit stiff, the girl finally heard the voice of liberation.

"Are you ready? I'm really looking forward to it."

"It is impossible to describe the beauty and nobility of a princess simply with a paintbrush." ​​Augustine packed up his painting tools, "However, you can stand in front of the painting and have a look."

"As expected of Mr. George Sand's student, I am very satisfied."

"Princess Isis is satisfied... I wonder if the princess can solve a doubt for me before I leave?" Augustine took out a velvet box from his pocket.

"What?" Isis looked puzzled at the man's actions.

"A gemstone earring." Augustine opened the box.

This is obviously Isis's missing earring, and the other one is still lying in her jewelry box, "very delicate."

"Don't the princess wonder where I picked it up?"

"I'm late today because I went to visit Uncle Britz first. He is the largest jeweler in London...It just so happens that this earring is one of his few collections, the only owner of it Isn't it you, the princess?"
