[Famous Books] Desire for control and arrogance

Alvin can say a little bit, although Alice has no reason to find a better place to question him on the surface, and she doesn't intend to waste energy to check whether his words are true or false, but she still wants to teach Alvin some lessons.

For example, she severed ties with him and let him know what it means to lose if you don’t pay; for example, she found a new boyfriend and showed it off in front of him. He disgusted her eyes, and of course she also wanted his eyes to be uncomfortable; For example, she ordered the people around her not to give him any preferential treatment in the future, and things like benefits must be calculated clearly and simply, which she deeply realized after being poor; another example is to send someone to scold him twice and mock him. To ridicule him, to help her vent her anguish that cannot be cursed;...

The lessons of being able to retaliate were listed one by one in Alice's notebook, and she finally had a balanced mind.

As the days went on, she would still go to the biggest theater where Alvin was in when she saw the plays she was interested in, but the frequency was less and less. Of course, she and Alvin looked at each other less and less.

Alvin was obviously in a hurry. Not only did he look at her box with the greatest emotional expression when the stage was full of affection, sadness, and anticipation, he also ordered someone to stuff an envelope into Alice's box.

Of course Alice had opened the letters.

Although he is unhappy with Alvin, after all, he devotes himself to playing beautiful roles every day and has been influenced by literature and art, so those beautiful words and sentences praising Alice emerge in endlessly, and the emotional rendering power in the words is also in place.

Every time Alice finished watching, she felt that she was really good, and then went home happily, ignoring Alvin at all.

The sweet talk of the scumbag has been tempered and refined, and it is very good. Of course, she is entitled to enjoy it, but it's fine to listen to it, and she has to do what she should do.

Alice thinks so freely, but in Aldrich's eyes, it's not like that.

He always remembered repeatedly that when Alice hated him, she immediately wanted to break their agreement to marry for two years, and then left his country non-stop, as if as long as he stayed, she couldn't even Bear.

As a result, now, that Alvin treats her like this, and she can still go to see Alvin's play.

This blatant discrimination made Aldrich feel unfair and unbalanced, and the strong jealousy and grievances kept accumulating in his mind, making him always want to tear Alvin into pieces.

But being too uncomfortable is even worse for his health. If his health is really bad, he doesn't have the energy to pursue Alice.

So he kept the doctor's words in mind, and tried to think things for the better, for example: since Alice can treat Alvin like this, it means that he can also treat him like this, he will work hard to learn Alvin's uniqueness, so that Alice will not be That bitch got scammed.

With such longings in mind, when he came to Karen's capital, his health was finally healed.

His time was relatively limited, so he simply cleaned up and wanted to have a chance encounter with Alice.

It is easy to meet Alice now and then.

She is no longer the proud princess who is always trapped in the palace. She often goes to Mrs. Sharp's ball, often hears the latest play in every theater, and often visits her estate.

Her frequent activities gave Aldridge an opportunity, which made him feel lucky. He happily passed by, expecting to see Alice, whom he hadn't seen for half a year, but his face turned black as soon as he went.

Because he wasn't the only one waiting for Alice to appear, he didn't have a chance to get ahead.

"Excuse me, why are there so many people here?" He went to a shop next door to ask.

"The princess is single and unmarried now, and they are all people who want to meet the princess to try their luck." The shop owner is a fat middle-aged man, and said with a smile, "You are from outside the city, this is the first time you have seen this scene."

Aldrich's mood was so distorted that he almost couldn't maintain his expression, and said a little stiffly: "Yes, but I see that many of the people crowded there are civilians, but how can the princess be with civilians?"

The shop owner also found it funny: "Because it was rumored that an actor could be appreciated by the princess, they all wanted to try their luck. It wasn't that crazy before, but a few days ago I heard that the actor was rejected by the princess, so these people thought they had If you have an opportunity, you must seize the opportunity to climb up.”

Aldrich was stunned for a while, and was about to go crazy.

What's going on with Alice, when she's looking for a man, she's looking for a man, why she's looking for a man with so much fanfare, everyone knows what her relationship is like now, she... doesn't she know that this will affect her reputation?

Thinking of this, he also asked, "Why are you so well-informed? Didn't the royal family stop the news?"

The shop owner said meaningfully: "There is no impenetrable wall in this world, and even if it is a profitable thing, everyone should give it a try.

But the princess shouldn't care about these things. She used to do things without caring what other people thought. Later, she was demoted to a commoner and married a beggar. The most difficult hurdles have passed, and she doesn't care what others say.And later I heard that the beggar was a fake. It was an excessive play created by the king and the king of the neighboring country in order to change the character of the princess. The two kings were very guilty and did not dare to care about the princess. No one cares about the princess. , but also can do things freely. "

Aldrich originally heard that those who came to Alice were looking for "profit", and his mood deteriorated even more. He scolded in his heart that even bugs and rotten shrimps dared to take advantage of Alice, but when he heard the shopkeeper talk about The wrong thing he did with Edward, all his anger was extinguished at once, and he felt very uncomfortable all over.

After hastily saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, he returned to the crowd, silently waiting for Alice to appear.

Alice needs a lot of guards when she goes out now. She sat in the carriage and glanced at the crowd outside, but her eyes were extremely indifferent and her lips curled down. Aldrich, who was familiar with her, knew that this was her impatient micro-expression.

She probably didn't like so many people gathering together to pursue her, or felt that the people outside were too noisy.

Thinking that Alice didn't like it, and it was difficult for him to stand out in the crowd, he went home sadly and sat quietly in front of the mirror for a long time.

After a long time, he finally started to move, but only after looking at a portrait for a long time.

That's a portrait of the actor Alvin, or a full body portrait.

Aldridge changed his outfit awkwardly based on his observations, and also tried to make his appearance more refined, gentle and affectionate for the actor's temperament.

His outfit just now was actually in the same style, but this time he tried harder to get closer to that temperament.

He still doesn't know what kind of dress Alice likes, and he hasn't heard of what kind of dress Alice likes, but it should be right for him to try to get closer to the actor's temperament.

He himself is very skilled in the gentle and gentle appearance, the only thing he is not skilled in is how to make himself appear romantic and affectionate.

But what he lacks most now is his love for Alice, so playing this is actually just showing his emotions, and it is not difficult for him to play it.

After dressing up, he found out the jewelry he had prepared to court Alice, and picked among them.

He originally planned to send out these jewels one after another when the relationship made some progress, but now seeing too many people pursuing Alice, causing Alice to keep many guards from letting people approach, he felt that he I have to change my mind, it can't be a romantic encounter on the road, but I have to take the initiative to attack when no one is around, and establish some contact with Alice.

He knew that Alice didn't go out again this evening, but stayed in her manor, so these jewels were the best chance to knock on the door of her manor.

He only brought one or two servants, and drove to the gate of the Princess Manor in a carriage, and informed the guard of his intentions. He wanted the guard to bring in the most exquisite piece of jewelry while showing it while talking about his intentions, and even bribed the guard with something. .

After the guard agreed, he nervously guarded the door.

As time passed, he quickly imagined the reunion with Alice many times in his mind. He should have simulated so many times, and he should be more and more confident, but he has not seen it for too long. Alice fell in love with her, and he liked her to the core, and he was often hit in the impression that he stood at the gate of the manor with his head lower and lower, and his heart became more and more empty.

At last a servant came and took him into the manor, but he was only allowed to go in alone.

He didn't have time to look at the expressions of the two servants around him, holding a box of jewelry with pale faces, and followed the servants in.

At this time, the light was not too dark, and Alice was sitting in the garden of the manor, drawing a picture of a plant under the setting sun.

From the corner of her eye, she saw someone approaching from a distance, she put down the paintbrush in her hand, picked up the delicate jewelry, and watched him boredly approaching her.

Before Aldridge met Alice, he had learned the etiquette of Karen's side, and his salute movements were flawless. In addition, he was originally a crown prince raised by the royal family, and his every move was a little more elegant, so Even if he hasn't looked up, he still has a good impression on Alice.

Alice is very satisfied with this piece of jewelry in her hand. She heard that the person who visited was the designer of this jewelry. A smile finally appeared.

Aldrich raised his head, and saw an exceptionally kind Alice.

It's been too long since I saw Alice, and he couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart at all. He kept staring greedily at her in front of him, feeling that everything was like an illusion.

She dressed up more flamboyantly, with more aura, but the expression on her face was so gentle, it was very harmonious with her sweet appearance.

But what moved him the most was not her appearance, but her expression.

She had never seen him like this before, and it made him feel that everything was worth it.

It doesn't matter what Alice's tolerance and love gave to others during those six months, as long as he works hard, he should...maybe...maybe...maybe there is a possibility of getting it.

He thought half confidently and half inferiorly.
