Chapter 76 The Bloody Duke's Sister Part [-]
Vivien stayed in the room for a week, sleeping until she woke up naturally every day, eating and drinking when she woke up, and then sat on the balcony to enjoy the scenery, and learned about the social etiquette of the capital by the way.

The chef noticed that the princess's appetite had improved. She used to eat only one or two bites, but now they were all empty.The wet nurse had to stand up and explain that she was eating with the young lady.

The day of the debut meeting was getting closer and closer, and Vivienne asked Annie to find a fashion designer to dress herself up.

The northern dukes are relatively poor, but that's only for the three dukes.After all, it is a wealth that has been passed down for a hundred years, and there are still several mines. Let alone buying jewelry, it is also possible to buy a house.

The scars on the wrists cannot be removed, but fortunately it is very common for aristocratic women to wear gloves in this era, otherwise she would not know how to cover them up.

Vivian picked up a piece of round bread, then scooped up two spoonfuls of jam and spread it out.To be honest, she prefers rice as the staple food. In order not to make people suspicious, she can only comfort herself to do as the Romans do.

There is no fresh fruit on the table of the nobles, because they feel that untreated fruit is not clean.But the truth is, those who don't eat fresh fruit lack vitamins, and their teeth rot quickly!
May is when plums, strawberries, and pineapples are ripe, and Vivienne insists on eating fresh fruits, and she can't stop them.

"Miss, Ms. Reina is here." Annie came in to report.

Vivian only brought two personal maids with her when she came to the capital this time, namely Anne and Fia.Annie is the illegitimate daughter of the baron, she has received several years of noble education, and has good aesthetics; Fia's father is a coachman, and she has a cheerful personality and is good at inquiring about gossip.

There is only one sentence in the original plot to describe the two of them, which is: "After Miss Vivienne was killed, the Duke fired all the maids who took care of her."

"It's an honor to meet you, my daughter-in-law. My name is Rui Na, and I'm a designer of a clothing store." Rui Na bowed and saluted after entering the door.

She looks only in her 30s, but she is the hottest fashion designer in the capital.I heard that her father was a designer for the royal family, and her two elder brothers were quite successful in design, but their reputation was far inferior to hers.

"Nice to meet you." Vivian nodded.

She always maintains a noble and glamorous appearance in front of outsiders. Even when she laughs, she will cover it with a fan, so she looks very distant.

"Girl and daughter, these three dresses are the latest popular styles, please have a look." Ruina asked her assistant to display the dresses, each of which was in a gorgeous rococo style.

Silk and velvet are the mainstream fabrics, and the cuffs are embellished with lace.In addition, each dress is inlaid with many gemstones, and the price is very expensive.

"I think this suits you very well." Reina strongly recommended the blue dress because it matched the princess's eyes very well.

The trying-on process is cumbersome, first wearing a light petticoat, then tying up the tights, then fixing the bucket-like panniers below the waist, and finally putting on a delicate skirt.

As soon as the second half was finished, she was already sweating from the heat.

Next, a triangular bodice and a drape that covers the entire back are put on.The sleeves of the jacket reach the elbow, and the cuffs are decorated with layers of lace. It is very hot and suffocating!
The second shoulderless green dress is very prominent, like a girl walking out of an oil painting.Rui Na was very excited and wanted her to try a few more sets, but Vivian resolutely refused.

The shoes are all pointed, and she chooses low heels for all of them, so as not to be the one who suffers sometimes.As for jewelry, buy it according to the dress.

The dress was ready, and Vivienne invited the teacher to teach her on the grounds that the social etiquette in the north was different from that in the capital.

Of course, this is just an excuse to fool people. The truth is that she doesn't understand aristocratic etiquette. I don't know if she can learn it well in a week?

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the debut meeting, and Laura woke Vivian up early.For nobles, dressing up is also an obligation, and the degree of fulfillment of the obligation determines how outsiders evaluate them.

Body lotions made of milk and almonds, balms made of linseed oil and cow's foot fat, and lead powder used to rub the face were people's efforts to whiten.

When Laura took out the lead powder, Vivienne wanted to run away.Lead can indeed make the skin white and tender, but after three to five years, it will be troubled by skin diseases and cancer!
This is an endless cycle. At the beginning, lead powder was used for whitening, but the more you use it, the more rotten the skin becomes, and the whitening becomes to cover up decay.

"My lady's skin is fair enough, I really don't need this kind of thing." Laura didn't insist. In her eyes, her lady is the most beautiful.

Simple makeup done, next is the hair.

The Bible says a woman's hair is her greatest glory.Even rural women try to make sure their hair is clean and tidy.

Veils and top hats are popular among nobles in the royal capital, but Vivienne prefers to braid her hair and decorate it with jewelry and ribbons.

"What is Victor doing these days?"

"I heard that he met the son of the Marquess of Royston."

"Go and bring him here, I have something to say."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Laura left, Vivian lowered her head in thought.

Putting her down on Victor last week didn't change that lunatic, he was definitely creating an opportunity to kill himself and Eunice.

The rumors about the scandal between Eunice and the crown prince were raging, he couldn't do anything, so he could only use the second prince to suppress the crown prince.

Living Royston is the heir to the Marquess Mansion and the fiancé of Princess Elena.Victor met him only because he wanted to get acquainted with the second prince through him.

"Good morning, sister." Victor smiled happily when he saw Vivienne. Anyone who saw it felt that they were very close.

"Good morning Victor, I don't like lead powder whitening, I hope you can find an alternative as soon as possible." Vivienne said distressedly.

"Sorry, I don't know much about beauty merchandise."

"Perhaps you wish me to write to father?"

"No, it's my honor to share my worries with my sister."

Victor couldn't refuse, because once he let the Duke know that he tried to kill his sister, let alone be the heir, he might be expelled from the house the next moment.

When Vivian went downstairs, it was Remino White who came to greet her.Remino was handsome and slender, and it is said that he had ten lovers.

"Nice to meet you, Vivian." Remino's eyes lit up when he saw Vivian, and then he bent down and kissed the back of her hand.

"Brother Remino, hello." Vivian also greeted him with a smile.

My grandmother has two grandchildren, three years apart in age.The eldest, Carol, is a royal knight, and the second, Remino, follows his father in business.

In the original plot: the hero is the crown prince, and Remino is the second infatuated man.For the sake of the heroine, he refused political marriage and even betrayed the family, and finally became the assistant of the heroine Dugu died.

I have to say that the power of love is really great.

Now the White family is on the same boat as the Klein family. They neither support the crown prince nor the second prince. Everything they do is to protect the interests of the nobles.

When Remino learned that Victor had imprisoned the heroine, he made up his mind to destroy the Klein family.Under his persuasion, Carol also led the Knights to defect to the Crown Prince.

Alas, if you want to keep the Klein family, you must restrain Victor. It seems that you must return to the north as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams.

The two got into the carriage, and Remino took the initiative to praise Vivienne's beauty, and then introduced her to the members of the Marquis's Mansion.

After driving for half an hour, the carriage finally arrived at the Marquis of White's mansion.

"Grandmother, nice to meet you, I'm Vivienne." After Vivienne got off the carriage, she saw a kind lady, about 50 years old, and guessed that she was the Marquis.

"I don't know how happy I am to receive your letter." The Marchioness walked into the castle holding her hand.

Everyone passed through the arch about five meters high, and looked up to see the golden hall.The furnishings in the hall are very luxurious, even worse than those of the Winter Palace.

There are hundreds of glass windows all around the hall, and the gray and white walls are lined with silver armor.All the attendants were busy quietly and orderly, no wonder people in the capital praised Mrs. White for being good at housekeeping.

Vivienne and Mrs. White went upstairs to drink tea. The other party looked at her cheeks and seemed to be caught in some kind of memory. After a long time, he said, "You look a lot like Miriam."

"Father said that too." Vivienne said with a smile.

Miriam was her and Victor's mother, and the woman had been in poor health since giving birth to the twins.Eventually dying when they were nine, the duke remarried a year later.

After drinking tea, Mrs. White asked the maid to take her to the room to rest.

The sun is setting in the west, and the breeze is blowing through the treetops.

All kinds of carriages were parked outside the castle. Eunice met her friend Lottie as soon as she got off the carriage, and the two happily walked together.

In the past, no one would invite the down-and-out earl's daughter to such a gathering, but now she is the crown prince's gossip, whether it's for the royal face or out of curiosity, the nobles will always send her invitations.

"I heard that the princess is not feeling well. She will rest for ten days after the coming-of-age ceremony. I wonder if the situation has improved?" Lottie chirped. She is also the daughter of the count, but her family is rich.

"It must be great for the Marquise to hold her debut ball." Eunice said lightly.

The two entered the banquet hall, and there were already many people inside.

There was a lot of people's voices.

Remino was surrounded by ladies, drinking champagne after glass.For some reason, his body suddenly started to heat up, something was wrong, obviously he was not drunk after a thousand drinks.

Could it be that he was recruited?
Some aristocrats like to put medicine in wine, but I didn't expect that someone would do such a thing in the Marquis' Mansion!But now you must stay away from the banquet hall, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Remino greeted his friends with a smile, and then went to the back garden to rest.A noble lady followed secretly, and Eunice also followed after remembering the original plot.
