Entering the small garden with Clorinde, Audrene quietly looked at Clorinde's house. The Earl's family had declined a few years ago, and the scale of the manor and the number of servants could not be compared with the Marquis's family.

But it can be considered as maintaining the glory of a noble.

"Please take a seat. This is all we have to entertain you. I apologize for the poor hospitality." Clorinde took a seat first.

Of course Audrey would not be so tactful as to say that it was indeed shabby. She said, "I am very happy with Miss Clorinde's hospitality."

The servants tactfully left, leaving the two young ladies room to talk.

Clorinde said casually, "I heard that His Highness Villette's birthday party is in three days. As his fiancée, what gift have you prepared for him?"

That’s it. Audrin really forgot about this.

She only remembered that she was beheaded after the ball, but she forgot the reason why the ball was initiated.

Could it be that the supporting actress did not prepare a birthday present for the hero, which the king considered an insult to the royal family, so he beheaded her?

As for corruption and the like, is it a clarification to the outside world?

Noticing Audrin's expression, Clorinde asked incredulously, "You're not prepared?"

"Why, how could I not be prepared? Of course I am prepared! As your highness's fiancée, I naturally keep him in my heart." Audrin laughed and tried to change the subject.

Clorinde saw that she was indeed unprepared, but she did not expose her: "Really? That's good. I heard that Your Highness likes pure things, such as pure crystal."

"Oh, so that's it?"

Crystal. OK, Audrin noted that.

Without continuing to talk about Villette, Clorinde shared another piece of news with Audrin: "I am also engaged to Knight Commander Leosley."

Leosley? One of the male protagonists.

On the surface, Audrin showed a worried expression at the right time: "Ah? It's the Knight Commander? I heard that he seems to be a playboy. Miss Clorinde, you..."

"I know that too." Clorinde looked at the coffee in her hand calmly: "But this is the fastest way to make the Earl's family rich."

Knight Commander Leosly is the king's adopted son. Marrying him would earn her the king's trust. Even though Clorinde knew that her fiancé was not a trustworthy man, she did not choose to refuse for the sake of her family.

This may be the sadness of being born into a noble family.

"I see..." Audrin didn't know what to say.

"He will also come to the ball. He has a good relationship with His Highness Villette. As his fiancées, we should also maintain a good relationship. So, when the time comes, should we..."

Audrin interrupted Clorinde. Although it was not polite, she had to point out one thing: "Claurinde, I came here not because you are Leosley's fiancée, nor because of Villette. I came only because you, Clorinde, invited me."

Clorinde half opened her lips and stared at Audrine in surprise, as if she had just gotten to know her all over again.

Previously, people praised the Marquis's eldest daughter, Audrin, as the most decent noble lady in the whole kingdom, and her every move was in line with people's expectations of noble ladies.

She always has a smile on her lips, is always well-behaved, and never makes mistakes.

But what is she saying now? She has no regard for the royal family, speaks wildly, and only says that she is doing it for herself.

Clorinde moved her lips, intending to remind her that her current behavior was not in line with that of an elegant lady, but Audrin's words poured into her heart like honey, bubbling with sweetness.

She couldn't help but raise her eyes beautifully, and those sharp-looking purple eyes also revealed a gentle light.

"I know."

"What I mean is, let's go to the dance together then." Clorinde added on to what she had not finished before.

She invited her to join her in the normal and graceful way that a lady should, but she didn't expect Audrin to misunderstand her and say something so straightforward and passionate that was unlike her.

When Clorinde learned that she held a certain place in Audrin's heart, her heart beat with joy as if she was walking on colorful clouds.

"Hehe, that's no problem of course." After realizing that she had misunderstood, Audrin embarrassedly took a sip of coffee to divert her attention.

The topic then turned to flowers, dresses and the like. Audrine and Clorinde got along very well and enjoyed the conversation more and more.

Noticing that it was getting dark, Audrine had to say goodbye. Clorinde reluctantly saw her off and gave her a small gift in return, a bouquet of blooming white lilies.

Audrin happily accepted the gift, and the maid standing next to her looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Lilies do represent pure and sincere friendship, but white lilies have another meaning in the kingdom...

Forget it, since Miss Audrin didn't say anything, she should not speak and annoy the young lady.

Oh, it seems that His Highness Villette should grow more green plants recently.

On the other side, Linny took some effort and successfully sneaked into Audrin's room. Looking at the room that was so gorgeous that it was countless times more gorgeous than his own room, he was jealous for two seconds.

Then he quickly collected his thoughts and focused on searching the room.

But no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find any clues or information that theoretically existed.

He tried many ways to try to find a possible secret compartment, but the entire room was very solid and there was no such thing.

Huh? That's not right.

Linnet would not lie to him. There was no record of it in the study, nor in Audrine's room. How did Audrine get the news? Could it be that the Marquis told her in person?

That's not true either. The Marquis is a male chauvinist and would never discuss work matters with his wife and daughter.

Could it be that like Linnet, Audrin also overheard it accidentally?

The Marquis and his wife were so elusive. Audrin had never had the chance to meet them, so how could she have heard them?

Did you overhear it a long time ago? You can't just react now, how slow...

Linny...I can't figure it out.

Suddenly, there was the sound of leather shoes at the door, and someone was about to come in.

Linnie was so scared that he tried to hide.

Outside the window, four floors, no room to jump. Inside the closet, too small.

The desk is in full view.

Only here.

Linnie gritted his teeth, pulled down the bed curtain, and hid in Audrin's bed.

Fortunately, the nobles like to use quilts made of soft and fluffy goose down with colorful patterns, which can hide a slender boy. If you don't pay attention, you really can't notice it.

The door was opened and it was the maid who came in to clean. She saw the bed curtain was drawn and thought it was Audrin who had drawn it, so she pulled it back. She did not notice that there was a person hiding under the quilt, and then she slowly cleaned the room.

Linnie listened to the sound of her cleaning. He wanted to come out to take a breath but couldn't. He could only quietly open a gap and breathe with difficulty.

The maid finally finished cleaning and was about to leave when suddenly another maid came over.

"Miss Audrin is back. I'll go prepare the bath water. Go and help her choose a set of pajamas."

Linney:? Audrin is back?

Then how can he get out? !

Linney suffered the greatest crisis in his history.

Linni, please save your brother!

However, on the other side, Linnet ate the delicious dinner brought by the servants and thought strangely.

My brother is so slow this time, why hasn’t he come back yet?

Well, leave him some beef.
