Chapter 556: Dark Childhood Stories Are Not Lack of Cinderella (21)

Ella sat in the corner. She had volunteered to attend today's party because Catherine had already started looking for a husband for her.

When Gu Zhen found out, he did not object.

Both mother and daughter wanted to take over the manor and drive away this troublesome girl forever.

Ella felt that Catherine had bad intentions and might just choose a man at random to marry her. Instead of that, it would be better for her to find one herself.

The ball is a great opportunity to make friends with many outstanding noblemen.

Ella is very confident in herself and even wore a brightly colored skirt today.

Gu Zhen was well aware of her little actions, and the reason she didn't object was because in this world, outside of the plot, women either got married or became nuns.

Letting Ella become a nun would be like having one more witch.

She gave the initiative and the right to choose to Ella. Catherine's opinion was not important. When Gu Zhen learned tonight that Ella took the initiative to come to the dance, she knew that Ella already had an idea in her mind.

The three of them had their own thoughts. The ballroom was full of people. Gu Zhen was surrounded by many ladies who were discerning and wanted to curry favor with him, but Catherine, the once glorious Duchess, had few people willing to talk to her.

There were several noblemen around Ella. She was willing to make friends and could talk to anyone.

The dance started on time at eight o'clock.

Darren came down the spiral staircase and the crowd made way for him. He greeted everyone with a smile on his face. The young King was handsome and charming, and the ladies did not hide their admiration for him.

But everyone knows that His Majesty the King has a special affection for Duke Anna.

Darren slowly walked up to Gu Zhen, stretched out his hand and invited her to dance the opening dance. The moment Gu Zhen put her hand in his palm, it was held firmly.

She was wearing high heels and her head only reached Darren's chin.

Darren looked down and could only see her delicate curls and slightly swaying earrings.

"I'll take you somewhere later?" Darren asked softly, his tone revealing his undisguised anticipation.

Gu Zhen felt that his palms were sweating, and his dance steps were not as skillful as before, and he even missed a beat.

It must be quite stressful.

She wanted to laugh a little, but Gu Zhen held it back and said softly, "Okay."

Darren was instantly happy, and he pulled Gu Zhen to dance with great joy. Halfway through their dance, other subjects also chose their favorite dance partners and jumped onto the dance floor to the beat of the music.

Gu Zhen had sharp eyes and saw that Ella was smiling and dancing hand in hand with the youngest son of Count Harry on the dance floor.

Earl Harry is already seventy years old. Because of religious beliefs, they are both monogamous, but that does not prevent them from having many mistresses in private.

So Earl Harry's youngest son, who is only 19 years old now, is very favored as he has a son in his old age.

He carries it with him wherever he goes, and doesn't mind his background at all.

Ella...you have a really good vision.

Gu Zhen was distracted and was discovered by Darren. He looked over and saw Count Harry's youngest son with a shy and innocent face, as innocent and bright as a child.

Darren pursed his lips and felt that he didn't seem to be much older, but compared to these young people, he was a few years older.

He put his arm around Gu Zhen's waist, turned around, and left the center of the dance hall to prevent her from always staring at other people's figures.

Gu Zhen couldn't see the gossip, and then she realized that she had been taken to the edge of the dance floor.

Darren took her hand: "Follow me!"

Someone noticed that His Majesty the King was leaving with his beloved girl, and smiled knowingly.

.

Gu Zhen followed Darren, walked around the castle, passed through the winding path, and came to a greenhouse.

As soon as you walk in, you feel warm as spring.

The originally empty ground is now planted with roses, with large patches of dazzling red.

At the end of the road to the greenhouse, there was a white and black sheepdog with long, thick hair. It was holding a basket in its mouth. When it saw Darren and Gu Zhen, it ran over steadily and put the basket on the ground.

Darren squatted down and touched its head: "Good Jack, go and play, your mission is accomplished!"

Jack wagged his tail vigorously, rubbed his head in his owner's hand, and ran to Gu Zhen's feet, squatting there waiting to be stroked by his future mistress.

Gu Zhen bent down and stroked the dog's head, and Jack was satisfied and walked around her, disappearing in a few seconds.

"This is the dog my father found for me when I was a child. I didn't know where it ran off to during my absence. It only reappeared in the palace a few days ago."

When Darren saw Jack, he almost cried. Jack was dirty and screamed madly at the guards until Darren appeared.

"It's covered in seaweed, so it must have been looking for me." Darren showed a hint of sadness, but quickly concealed it.

Gu Zhen stood on tiptoe and touched the fragile king: "Look, it's back. You should give it more meat in the future."

Darren put his arm around Gu Zhen's waist and said, "It likes you very much. Can you feed it from now on?"

Jack is aggressive towards everyone, but he lets Gu Zhen touch him obediently.

Gu Zhen's eyes met his, and Darren seemed ready to kiss her at any time.

But he still had something to give to Gu Zhen.

Darren restrained himself and let go of Gu Zhen, then took out a crown from a basket filled with rose petals.

The crown is made of pure gold and embellished with gemstones of various colors, carrying the gorgeous beauty and romance unique to this era.

"This is my mother's crown. She and my father loved each other very much," Darren looked at Gu Zhen affectionately. "If I had the honor to put it on you personally, I think I would jump for happiness."

Gu Zhen smiled and lowered her head slightly. Although she didn't say anything, it was obvious that she was not refusing. Darren was encouraged and couldn't wait to put the crown on Gu Zhen.

"You look beautiful today."

"Can I kiss you, beautiful girl?"

Darren's deep and magnetic voice was very seductive. Gu Zhen felt that she was bewitched by his beauty and nodded without hesitation.

She is really becoming more and more like an LS.

Darren took her hands and pulled her closer, accurately kissing the red lips he had longed for.

The two were reserved and restrained at first, but soon became inseparable.

Darren placed a last kiss on her forehead lovingly: "I love you."

I don't know when this love started, but now it has become so strong and deep.

Darren knelt on one knee: "Excellent and beautiful Miss Anna, will you marry me and be my wife?"

"I am willing."

I am willing to fall for love thousands and thousands of times.
