Pilgrimage [Western Fantasy] - Chapter 15
Chapter 15 Unbridled
Quietly, as if being suspended from the top, the noble lady who wanted to swarm up and follow her with some flattering words fell silent, quietly looking at Hibel and the crown prince who was already looking bad at the rear.
How dare she speak to that woman like this!
There was also a small group of people who showed their attention and looked at the noble girl standing on the left side of the hall, with red eyes and as bright as a burning flame
—— the Crown Prince’s ex-fiancée, Clarice Windsor Closeerson.
Hibel could already feel that Windsor, who had not concealed her gloating appearance, had her eyes burned on her back like red-hot iron blocks. She knew that since she successfully ruined the other party’s engagement with the crown prince, Close Erson had a grudge.
Probably because there was no way to avoid it, Hibel, who was still tight, relaxed. On the saint’s face was her always gentle smile: “ Miss Estelle, even if you are angry with the Earl of Stoke, there is no need to deliberately fake it. Death to intimidate him. ”
Estelle sneered in her heart, fake death? Didn’t you deliberately frame her and half-push to let Earl Stoke do it?
The unknown voice in my mind was also amazed.
【This Saint is really different from the one you know. 】
It’s certainly.
Even if the Hibel she knew also had deep malice towards the world and a strong desire for power, she would never hide her ambition, nor would she use it to criticize other people who pursue their own desires. In Estelle’s mind, she was still the girl who would restrain herself and help those in need.
Estelle suddenly reached out and pinched Shibel’s chin: “ If you really want to pretend to be crazy like this? It’s useless for me to deny it. How can I meet a few crazy people in my life? ”
She let go and smiled slightly: “ this unknown lady, maybe after the banquet, you need to see a doctor. ”
As soon as the words came down, Estelle raised her feet and left, leaving Hibel alone standing there in embarrassment. Crown Prince Edwin finally couldn’t bear it anymore. He walked over in a few steps: “ Stoker! You…..”
He failed to say the next words, and the girl turned around, raised her finger, and booed: “ This equally unknown lord was too rude to strike up a conversation without the lady’s permission. ”
She turned her head and smiled sideways, but this smile was not the arrogant look of Estelle in her memory, but alienated: “ Moreover, your Excellency, like that lady, referred to me by a name that was not mine. Are you also crazy? ”
The host of the banquet came over in his sweat and quickly introduced that this was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The girl’s smile remained unchanged and she whispered softly: “ So that’s it, so this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
A group of people had already smelled it, a strong sense of ridicule.
After saying that, she never forgot to chuckle. Her eyes were brighter than the stars. Even if she spoke arrogant words, no one wanted to blame her.
The crown prince suddenly changed his color. From birth to now, His Highness, who was as dazzling and proud as the sun, has never been humiliated to this extent. Edwin looked cold: “ Is enough trouble! Estelle Stock.”
“His Highness is really good at joking. ” Clarisse stood in front of Estelle, “ this lady has stated several times that she is not Miss Stoker, but that you and Her Royal Highness have been aggressive. ”
A beautiful woman with red hair and red eyes, bright and proud, shows no sign of weakness: “ is it possible that one day, as long as His Highness is willing, he can casually identify an innocent person as a scapegoat? ”
The girl who was protected behind her spoke slightly: “ If His Highness wishes, of course he can, after all, this is the empire that will soon belong to it. ”
The surrounding nobles took a breath, and the response was too harsh! As long as the crown prince continues to identify him, he will be placed on the idea of coveting the throne.
Clarisse stood up and was silent for a moment, only to hear the girl behind her continue: “ Your Highness is now thinking of exercising power on behalf of the Sheriff, and it’s not a big deal. Do you think so? ”
She asked the host of the banquet with a smile in her mouth. The other party was sweating coldly and did not dare to speak.
Everyone present knows very well that what the new owner of the manor means is that if you dare to say that I am Estelle again, it means that you want to identify someone to replace the eldest daughter of the earl and have evil intentions for the throne. If I have been challenged by the Sheriff these days If you make things difficult or disappear inexplicably, it is the Crown Prince’s instruction.
The owner of the banquet, an old baron with a bulging belly, was about to cry and came over tremblingly: “ The ball is about to begin, several of you. . . . . ”
Estelle stared at the other person’s sweaty face and snorted, then closed it when she saw it. Clarice turned around and saluted her slightly: “ the first time we met, noble lady, I am Clarice Windsor Close Erson.”
Purple-skirted girl reaches out:“ Eureka von Adelaide.”
Clarice was stunned and took her hand: “ can I call you Eureka? ”
【Why did you choose this name? 】
【blind. 】
Estelle, who goes by the pseudonym Eureka, nodded: “ Of course, this is my honor. ”
The girl who was just as sharp as a sword suddenly became soft. Many people were caught off guard and could only watch the two leave hand in hand and go to the sofa next to the dance hall to chat.
“forget it? ”
An aristocratic girl who was not yet old lowered her voice and asked her slightly older female companion, who opened the etiquette fan: “ At least for now, this drama will not continue. ”
“is such a smart and crazy approach. ”
That kind of aboveboard threat, unafraid attitude, seems to have no scruples. In contrast, both the saint and the crown prince have too many things to consider and scruples about. Just like the crown prince who has taken over his fiancée now, no matter how angry he is, he has been stabbed with a knife. He can only be bored.
Moreover, the behavior of the crown prince and the saint this time was indeed too offensive.
“Is she really not the eldest daughter of that earl? ”
The female companion shook the fan: “ since she said no, then no. Moreover, except for the very similar appearance, both the conversation and the temperament are completely different from those of the imperial rose. ”
Estelle’s beauty is still earthly, but this Miss Eureka seems to be showing her divine appearance.
“Don’t forget, Estelle is dead. ” The female companion warned, “ even if we all know it, since the Stoke family says so, Estelle is a dead man. ”
So what if this Miss Eureka is really Estelle? The dead will not come back to life.
The noble girl seemed to understand, but she lowered her voice: “, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really, too rude today. ”
“probably because he fell in love. ” The female companion thought she had told a cold joke, but when she saw the approving look on the noble girl’s face, she sighed, with a rather intoxicating attitude.
‘How many people besides me know that there is not much sincerity between the Crown Prince and the Saint? ’
Watching the back of the crown prince and the saint leave, the female companion was satisfied. She felt that she was too witty in her busy schedule and never forgot to come to the banquet! What happened at today’s dance was enough to set off another wave in the imperial capital.
But on the other side, the insulted young man who had just returned to the hall and heard the saint he admired couldn’t help but want to rush up and question the girl who called herself Eureka. She was pinned where she was: “ Are you crazy? Your Highness the Crown Prince failed, what can you do if you go? ”
“don’t stop me! ”
Brown-haired and green-eyed, a young man who originally felt gentle and courteous —— was also the youngest son of the Baron, the organizer of the banquet. Carl Strong wanted to shake off the person who grabbed his arm: “ he didn’t know where it came from. The empty-headed countryman is so rude to His Highness Hibel! ”
“the countryman you talk about just bought an entire estate in the imperial capital. ” The young man on the side said cool words, “ forget it, young master, if you only look at financial resources, the country people in your mouth are much richer than us. ”
Several people next to him sneered. They all understood what the young man meant. Carl Strong was just the youngest son of a baron who could not inherit the title. After the old baron died, the other party’s status would be very embarrassing, not as good as what he said. That countryman.
“you! ”
The ball ended with this laughter, and the people left in a carriage in twos and threes. Clarice invited Estelle to her house for a tea party next week, and was satisfied with the promise that she would definitely go. leave.
【I don’t understand why you don’t admit that you are Estelle? 】
【because I am indeed not her, just like Hibel is not Hibel. 】
The dead self is also a unique existence in the world. She does not need another self to continue her life, create new glory, or use her identity to gain the regret of her relatives and the love of others. Everything came to an end when she died, and since then, it has no meaning to her.
Could it be that she replaced her identity and became an Estelle who changed in the eyes of others? Will she be happy if she knows this?
【she won’t be happy because . . . . . I think she has never regretted it. 】
Whether it is love or not, pain and happiness, dullness and glory, all belong to her own life.
“some want to meet her. ”
About to reach the door of the manor, the girl with the gentle face raised her head and sneered: “ looks like he didn’t take my words to heart. ”
A ready-to-go private party of knights stopped at the door of the manor, and the girl in the purple dress stepped out of the carriage. She saw Wild Stoke, the eldest son of the Earl of Stoke, standing there.
The knight raised his spear and pointed it at her, and Wilder came over: “ wandering alone outside, have you forgotten the etiquette? ”
If it were a killer here, he would definitely turn around and run away after seeing her expression.
“are you talking to me? ” Estelle asked rhetorically.
Wilder frowned and stared at her face, his heart beating faster and faster, but his face was the opposite of his voice, extremely cold: “ His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kindly told his father your news, and promised to eliminate your death certificate, Go home, even if your father won’t forgive you. . . . ”
The girl opposite laughed again: “ Recently, there are more and more psychopaths talking to themselves. Does His Majesty the Emperor really want to hand over his country to this kind of idiot with empty brains? ”
Unexpectedly, Estelle dared to make such a big statement in front of her. Wilder changed his expression: “ shut up, and I will go to the palace to apologize tomorrow! ”
Estelle turned his head and looked at him casually: “ What are you? Talk to me like this. ” As soon as he finished speaking, a fist hit Wilder directly in the face!
