[Famous Books] Desire for control and arrogance

"You lost your things." He reminded without emotion.

However, when he spoke, his smile was restrained, his brows were furrowed, and he was staring at the lipstick tightly, as if he was facing something wrong with Alice.

What did she do wrong?

Alice couldn't think of going to the maid, but she could only think that she was not prudent enough to act carefully, which caused Aldrich to subconsciously dislike her after losing her things.

She was also told by her father that she was not careful enough because she dropped something while walking.

Thinking of this, Alice felt unhappy.

To be reasonable, it's not that she doesn't pick up that lipstick, she intends to pick it up secretly, but even if she doesn't pick it up, so what, as for showing that she can't do it well?

While she was muttering in her heart that Aldridge was strict and fussed, she lowered her head and quickly picked up the lipstick and stuffed it into her pocket.

"Thank you for reminding, Your Majesty, this carriage is a bit high, so I didn't pay attention when it came down." She said gratefully on her face, as if she really dropped it accidentally, so as not to be picked on by Aldrich again.

Just watching her put the lipstick of unknown origin back into her close-fitting pocket, Aldrich was extremely depressed, and his mind was full of wanting to find out who gave it to her.

"Why didn't you see this lipstick on? You cherished it on your body, did someone just give it to you?" He tried to relax his facial muscles and asked kindly, "Is it from the palace?"

Alice wanted to nod at first, but thought of the boring question he had asked her for a long time on the pretext of knowing why she was popular the day before yesterday, so she acted on the principle that one more thing is worse than one less thing, to prevent the original situation from recurring, and went to He said casually: "I didn't paint it because the color didn't suit me. I was in a hurry to buy it, and I didn't turn it around to study it carefully. It would be too wasteful not to use it, so I plan to give it to someone who suits it in the future."

Aldridge knew her movements all day long, and didn't believe her at all. He was mad at her for hiding the existence of that person, but it was not easy to get angry.

The only satisfaction is hearing her say that she wants to give this lipstick away.

Well, no matter what she said about sending it out is true or not, he will try his best to make it true.

He bent his beautiful long eyebrows and said warmly: "Is that unlucky? Would you like me to give you some makeup supplies? I haven't been in a good mood recently, so I summoned a stranger to accompany me. And After you chatted, I got better, and I just took this to thank you."

Asking her to accompany him because he was in a bad mood sounded like a nonsense excuse, but she did spend a lot of time with him, so she immediately agreed: "Thank you, Your Majesty. It is my honor to share your worries with him, I am just talking It’s just a small thing to accompany His Majesty, thank you Your Majesty for rewarding me.”

Aldridge smiled heartily: "I am a person with clear grievances and grievances. Of course I have to repay someone who treats me well. If you are embarrassed, please give me your lipstick. Anyway, it was originally intended to be given to someone else, and I want it Not too much." He wanted this lipstick to leave Alice's body immediately, and he wanted it so badly that he would ask for it as soon as he had a chance.

It is indeed a bit weird for him to ask for lipstick, so he added, "I like to take things from others as souvenirs, which makes me feel very satisfied. Yours is very good, and it is very suitable for souvenirs."

Alice narrowed her eyes.

She remembered that because she was so beautiful, someone would covet her so much that they would secretly collect her items.

The things she used were secretly taken and touched by others. Just imagining that, Alice felt very uncomfortable, so she emphasized to the former servants very carefully, pay attention to keeping her items, and don't let her items flow to the annoying people. The abnormal there.

Now that she is down and out, no one notices that her personal belongings are not leaked out, but there are still perverts who covet her because of her higher status than her, and ask her for her personal belongings in person, she is so miserable.

Alice really didn't want to, and couldn't tear her face down to refuse, so a shy expression quickly appeared on her face, and she said embarrassedly: "This is really too simple, I can't give it to you, so let's do it, I will find a way later How about getting you something else?"

Of course, Aldrich couldn't easily agree, he must take that eye-catching thing, so he repeatedly persuaded her.

Alice was unmoved, she knew what would bother her the most, and she didn't want to think that Aldridge would disgust her with her things, so now she has been pretending to be stupid and refusing, not moving the thing in her pocket. lipstick.

If she doesn't take it, Aldrich can't reach out to take it either. He has always consciously made his behavior elegant and reliable, and it is impossible to actively destroy it.

The two chattered for a while, she became more and more determined, and Aldrich became more and more shameless, so he could only keep a stiff face and stop persuading.

He is not the only way to get it.

He told himself this way, cooling down his hot mood a little.

"I'll take you to pick out cosmetics." He raised the corners of his lips and said, "I brought you here to go horseback riding with you, just to relax. We can pick out the gifts first and then go for a ride."

He asked Alice to go back to the carriage, he rode the horse, she sat in the carriage, and the two went to a certain palace together.

The palace was built magnificently, featuring a lot of purple gauze decorations, the style was delicate and gentle, and the decoration was very careful, Alice's eyes lit up when she saw it.

"This is the palace where I plan to place my future queen," he said leisurely without looking at Alice, "It's a pity that I haven't had anyone who I want to marry as queen."

As if he was just feeling emotional, he chatted casually, stopped talking, and led Alice into a huge table in the bedroom of the palace.

The table was placed against the wall, and a huge mirror with a gorgeous frame was mounted on the wall. The mirror reflected Alice, who was pale and poorly dressed, and also the king, who was full of vigor, and his clothes were simpler than Alice's. The gorgeousness of silk.

Although Alice has outstanding facial features, in contrast, the picture of her beside Aldrich is indeed like a lowly maid standing beside a noble master.

Seeing this contrast with her own eyes, she felt very uncomfortable, as if she had been pricked by a needle.

She has always been very strong, otherwise she would not have looked down upon Aldrich when she attended the banquet of suitors, but within a month, their identities had changed so drastically.

When people are weak, they think of someone who can take care of themselves. Alice couldn't help but think of her mother, who in her memory stayed with her all day long even when she was sick. This kind of grievance.

Aldrich clearly saw the changes in her shivering after entering the house, thinking that she was regretted and uncomfortable by the magnificent queen's palace, and felt a little dark.

He opened the drawer of the desk calmly, took out a box that he had sorted out, put it on the table and opened it for her to see. Inside were the best and most expensive cosmetics that he quickly collected.

"No one is using the left and right. If you like it, you can even take the box back." He generously presented it to Alice, as if caring for it carefully, he patted his head and said, "By the way, the best things are You can only use it if you are suitable, or you can try it with me now."

Alice wanted to frown when she heard that.

Heh, try it in front of an unmarried man like him?

Make-up is a very private thing, let her perform in front of him?It's too condescending, is she really low?

Alice always dressed up for her own pleasure, and never applied cosmetics in front of people other than servants. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but think Aldridge was an arrogant and annoying person who dared to belittle her.

Hmph, this cosmetic may not be able to be resold after use, maybe in the future he will have a reason to let her make up for him before entering the palace, and she will not be able to sell it, so why is she wronging herself with this cosmetic?

She opened the cosmetics one by one with disgust, and slowly selected them for a long time. Finally, she said to Aldridge, who had been waiting for a long time, "Thank you for your kindness, it seems that none of them are very suitable for me." She tilted her head slightly and smiled, The neck is still very slender, elegant and beautiful.

"What doesn't fit?" Aldridge frowned, and asked unwillingly, "You're welcome."

"Your Majesty is worrying too much. I'm not polite. The most I bought lipstick was to cover up my bad health. I'm very busy every day, and putting on makeup is a waste of my time. It's useless to give it to me."

She could actually say that Bill didn't like her makeup as an excuse, but in front of Aldrich, even though she knew that Aldrich should know who her husband was, she didn't want to mention anything about Bill who lived in poverty and had no love for her.

She fiddled with the items in the box a few more times, and finally took out a lipstick and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to give me this lipstick, please give me this lipstick, this one is quite suitable for me."

He said he wanted to give something, she couldn't refuse too much, in order to leave this oppressive palace earlier, she had to say this.

Of course Aldrich would not continue to persuade: "But..."

But before he spoke the second word, he was completely silent, because he saw Alice smiling brightly at him, applying lipstick in front of him in the mirror.

When she was applying lipstick, her chin was slightly raised. Her face in the mirror was indifferent, and her exquisite and full lips were outlined little by little, highlighting the most glamorous and most breathtaking lips among her facial features.

She pushes the tip of the lipstick slowly, but every stroke is formed, so the painting is done quickly.

But she didn't look back at him immediately, but slowly turned her head left and right under the light and shadow of the room, examining herself carefully, and also showed her beauty from different angles in front of him.

Color can contrast and highlight many subtle changes in a person's appearance: her teeth are whiter, her eyes are bluer, her hair is more golden, and the whole person seems to be brightened, and her hair is shining against the luxurious interior background. glowing.

Aldridge's throat moved and moved, his mouth was so dry, his mind went blank.

Alice finally turned around, and saw that his mind had been completely sucked away by her.

She slowly closed the lid of the lipstick, put the lipstick in her pocket, and said to the man who tried his best to seduce her: "This lipstick is the most suitable for me, thank you, let's go horseback riding."

He let her try it, and she could only try a simple one in order to leave early.Only painting lipstick was her last stubbornness, so don't try to trick her into painting more!

But she was worried that Aldridge would talk nonsense again to persuade her, but she didn't expect that he was completely bewitched by her beauty now, and would just stare blankly at her.

Sure enough, she was a lonely pervert who had been depressed for a long time due to high-pressure work, so easily fell into her beauty again, annoying and useless.

Alice felt contemptuous and disgusted in her heart, and she didn't smile, but her voice was soft enough to suggest: "Let's go ride a horse."

Aldridge nodded in a daze before he realized what Alice said. His dark eyes became clearer. After taking a deep breath, he led Alice back to the woods behind the palace in a relatively reticent manner. forward.

The fresh wind along the way made his brain gradually sober. As soon as Alice got off the carriage, the redness on her lips suddenly reminded him of the glamorous look of Alice's lips in the mirror just now. His throat tightened again, and it became difficult to speak and think.

"Is there only one horse?" Alice looked at the servants who had voluntarily dispersed, and asked Aldrich first.

It was only then that Aldridge remembered the opening words he had originally planned to say when he met Alice: "Can you ride a horse? I don't really want to ride a horse right now. One horse is enough. We will take turns riding." Whether she can ride a horse or not , he can let her ride on the horse, and he will lead the horse and chat with her while walking.

In this way, one can get closer, and the other is to prevent Alice from running away on horseback.

The forest was bordered by mountains, and there were no walls to block it. He didn't have much sense of security. He always felt that Alice could make a movement to escape from him as soon as there was a horse to gallop.

"Yes, but I wear a skirt, so it's not easy to ride." Alice said, looking at the saddle.There was no interest in her eyes at all, and she wanted to take turns riding with Aldridge sweetly only because she was sick.

Aldrich originally wanted to immediately enter the world of only two people, but he didn't expect this situation at all, so he hastily called the servant back and asked the servant to prepare his trousers for Alice to change in the carriage.

Waiting helplessly for Alice to change, he began to get along with Alice as he expected.

This time, he was basically the one talking. He learned the lesson from last time and took the initiative to talk about interesting things, but they were all interesting things that happened to him and made him appear to be very powerful.On the one hand, let Alice deepen her understanding of him, and on the other hand, let Alice adore him.

But, Alice is a person who likes to brag about herself, but is impatient with others bragging in front of her.

Aldrich's inadvertent pride and self-confidence made her absolutely sure that he was boasting, not chatting.

Ah, the time is so hard, but I have to endure it, so painful.

Forget it, let’s take it as admiring the beautiful natural scenery, and take Aldrich’s nagging and flaunting voice as the background sound.

Alice has good adaptability and can think freely, so she can lose her mind all the way. Of course, in order not to be too distracted, she will smile deeper as Aldrich's tone increases, and occasionally she will nod her head in simple agreement.

Aldrich spoke freely and felt that he was performing well.He stared at Alice's every affirmative smile and nod. Although it was a pity that there was no look of admiration in her eyes, it was already very useful to him who was frustrated one after another.

Unknowingly, the time has come to the time he conceived to separate, and he still has more to say, but he can only send Alice back to work.

Of course, before watching Alice enter the kitchen, he thought that there might be someone who gave Alice lipstick in the kitchen, and he didn't want Alice wearing lipstick to be seen by that person, lest that person become more obsessed with Alice.

He took out his handkerchief, pretended that Alice's lipstick was out of bounds, and asked Alice to wipe off all the lipstick without a mirror.

Alice wished she could get rid of the king immediately, and hurried back to the kitchen. She didn't have time to think about any of his words and deeds, so she quickly wiped it as he said, and hurried back to the kitchen.

As soon as I went back, I felt refreshed, and felt that all the time was finally passing by quickly again.

When it was time to get off work quickly, she said goodbye to the maids who said goodbye to her, and quickly left the palace to find Bill.

Bill waited for her with bright eyes, and asked her if she had noticed the king's shining point today.

This believer is too fanatical and obsessed.

Alice was really speechless and didn't want to talk to him at all.
