Roses blooming in the heart

"Hello! Your Highness Elena."

The little girl in front of her turned red with excitement when she saw her sister coming with the heroine from the ball. She hurriedly picked up her skirt and started walking when Elena stopped in front of her at a very suitable social distance. It's not such a standard gift, but coupled with the cute and panicked look on Leni's face, others will only think she's cute like this.

"Hello, Your Highness Leni, thank you for coming to my adult ceremony."

Elena returned the salute, and Leni looked at her with curiosity in her eyes.

After a few simple words, Leni boldly touched Elena's hand, and only held it after seeing that Elena didn't refuse.

"Your Highness Elena, can we come over here? I have some questions that I want to ask you alone, and I don't want my sister to hear them."

As soon as these words came out, before Elena could respond, Yulia took over the words first.

"My dear Leni, I took the risk of being scolded by my father and mother when I returned home to bring you here secretly. Now you have to go behind your sister's back when you have something to say. I am really sad."

Yulia deliberately reached out to cover her heart and spoke in a hurt and distressed tone. However, her sister Leni had seen this at home and was already resistant to it, so she was not affected at all.

"It's something that my sister won't understand. If you tell her to her, you won't be interested in her."

Leni is also a pampered little princess, especially Yulia who is very doting on her only biological sister who is not in good health. Leni herself is not afraid of Yulia at all.

"I'm just going to stay away and say a few words to Her Highness Elena. My sister can still see me."

In the end, Yulia compromised under Leni's insistence, while Elena did not join the conversation between the two sisters. She just followed Leni a little further to the side after Yulia agreed.

Cosette also stood there and watched Elena's situation, but did not follow her.

Elena could clearly feel that after she left Yulia and Cosette, there were many more direct or implicit glances falling on her.

It seemed like I couldn't escape talking to a lot of people tonight.

Elena couldn't help but lament in her heart, but she still looked at the cute little girl in front of her with a gentle smile on her face.

Although Leni is 70-80% similar to Yulia, but unlike Yulia who is sharp and sharp, Leni looks like a delicate and cute little dumpling, probably because she is still young, which makes people like her. Go ahead and pinch it.

Looking at the lovely Leni in front of her, the expression on Elena's face couldn't help but soften even more.

"You can tell me anything you want to ask me."

Seeing that Leni was shy, Elena took the initiative to speak.

"I don't have anything to ask," Leni waved her hands in panic. Although her voice sounded a little trembling, her eyes were always looking at Elena and said, "I just want to take a closer look at you. You are just like the princesses in many fairy tale books I have read, you are both blond and blue-eyed. I have always been a little curious to see the real person, are you not unhappy?"

At the end of the sentence, Leni's voice became smaller and smaller, as if she was a little embarrassed.

"No, I won't be angry because of this," Elena said with a smile: "Actually, you are also a princess, so you don't need to come here to see me."

"But I want to see the real person!"

Leni looked at Elena with bright eyes, and said with some excitement: "You are very similar to Sister Yisi, both are so gentle and gentle."

"Sister Yisi?"

She’s not the concubine’s daughter that Yulia mentioned, right?

Elena thought, and the next second Leni gave Elena a definite answer.

"She is the daughter of my father's concubine, but my father doesn't like Sister Yisi. I don't know why, but I like Sister Yisi very much. She will play with me patiently, although she only does this so that she can live by herself in the palace. It's better, after all, my mother doesn't like the concubine and they both have children, and my sister is not easy to win over, so I am the only one who looks stupid and easy to deceive."

When Leni spoke, her voice was no different from before, and Elena couldn't even see the sadness and anger of being deceived in her eyes.

"Then why do you still like her?"

Elena asked, not quite understanding what Leni was thinking.

"Because even if it's not sincere, Sister Yisi really spends time with me. I'm not in good health so I basically don't go to school. My father asks the teacher to come to the palace to teach me. My sister has a lot of things to be busy with every day, and so does my mother. I have to do my own thing, but Sister Yisi is the only one who is also very free and willing to spend time on me. Unlike other people who want to get things from me but are unwilling to pay, I still like Sister Yisi. "

Leni explained, but after saying this, she asked Elena which snack on the table was more delicious, and Elena stopped asking any more. That was an internal matter within the royal family of the Tarusta Empire. She should not ask too many questions.

Elena took Leni directly to the dining table and recommended several small cakes to Leni that she liked very much. After getting the food, Yulia also came over, so that Yulia could not wait to ask Leni. When she finished speaking, Leni blocked her mouth with a mouthful of cake.

Elena couldn't help laughing when she saw the two sisters getting along. After chatting with the two for a few more words, people from other countries gradually gathered around.

After saying goodbye to Yulia and Leni, Elena took Cosette to another place. She was afraid that the people who would come around would disturb Leni.

"Are you tired, Your Highness?"

Cosette asked softly.

"Fortunately," Elena said, "tonight is still very long."

As soon as he finished speaking, the next person came.

Maintaining the smile on her face, Elena communicated with the other party.

Cosette stood quietly beside Elena, watching with vigilance all the people who came close to Elena, including foreigners and dignitaries of her own country.

The luxurious balls, non-stop dance music, exquisite and delicious desserts, and people in costumes together paint a confusing picture.

How many people want to squeeze into this painting.

Beneath the gorgeous picture, interests and money flow underneath.

Before the end of the dance, Elena invited Abelide to dance again. Abelide did not refuse, and the two slipped onto the dance floor again.

"How was your evening?"

Abelide asked Elena.

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired. I might fall asleep after lying on the bed for a while."

Elena said, following the rhythm, she spun around in Alberid's arms and fell backwards, and then was firmly caught by Alberid.

"Then go to bed early."

The dance ended, and with a few closing words, the grand ball came to an end.

Everyone got what they wanted from it.
