Pride and Prejudice the Poor Princess

No self-respecting lady would be angry at being put down like that, and Darcy spent days in remorse. He needed to find a time to apologize to Mary as soon as possible, so he urged Bentley to hold a dance as soon as possible. , so that he can see Mary.

But to his surprise, before the ball, he ran into Mary, who was talking in a low voice with a strange man standing in front of a shop window.I don't know what the man said, but she suddenly smiled, the golden sunlight reflected in her blue eyes, lighting up all her facial features.At that time, she was as pure as morning dew, and the strange man's eyes showed a look of surprise, and he was fascinated.

For some reason, Darcy felt very anxious, and this anxiety even overwhelmed the surprise and displeasure at seeing Wickham.He was extremely concerned about the relationship between the man and Mary, but he was not qualified to ask, so he could only suppress it.

Lydia spotted them leaving and they had to walk over to say hello.The man's name was Collins, he was Mary's cousin, and he was in the church, which was a pretty respectable job indeed, at least according to the Bennetts.There was arrogance and inferiority hidden between his brows, and he showed a kind of charitable concern when facing Mary.

Discovering this, Darcy felt even more gloomy, and he blamed all this on Wickham.Due to the large number of people, he did not find the opportunity to apologize to Mary, so he had to urge Bingley to hold the ball again.

As he wished, he finally met Mary at the ball.She seemed to be avoiding him, standing in the crowd all the time.

Darcy hesitated for a long time, and finally walked over when Collins approached her.He didn't like to see the picture of them standing together, and he didn't like people talking about them as a couple.Unfortunately, he finds himself the target of Collins' courtship, and Mary cleverly escapes.She even turned her head and smiled at him, a trace of slyness hidden in the corners of her slightly curved mouth.

Darcy's displeasure disappeared in her charming smile.While suppressing the impatience in his heart, he tested Collins' intentions.He is Mary's cousin and is about to inherit the property of the Bennett family, and it is known that the quickest way to preserve the property is to marry Collins.

He thought that there were so many beautiful girls in the Bennett family, and it was impossible for Mary to be their turn, but he was wrong. Mary was like a pearl hidden in the gravel, and as long as one searched hard, one could always find her beauty.Collins chose her as his bride, and Darcy felt his heart sink into the deep sea, and the high pressure from all sides made him unable to breathe.

It took a tremendous amount of self-control to keep his emotions under control, but when he finally got his breath back he saw Mary and Collins walking onto the dance floor.

Mary never danced with anyone but Mr. Bennett, which was the consensus of the inhabitants of Longborn.However, she made an exception. Does this prove that Collins is special to her?

Damn special!Darcy finally lost his composure, he spilled the wine in the glass, the cold and spicy wine explained his mood at this moment.He wanted to leave, to escape the scene that hurt his eyes, but he couldn't move his footsteps.He remembered the misunderstanding between himself and Mary. If he left like this, he would always leave her with a harsh impression, and he didn't allow it.

At least, he wants to get her forgiveness.

He stopped Mary with the utmost force, and if she refused he kept her in the way.It was the most ungentlemanly thing he ever did in his life.Fortunately, Mary agreed, and she snuggled into his arms, and he felt his heart beating out of his chest.

He apologized to her in the sincerest tones and tried to persuade her to seriously consider marrying Collins.Although he didn't realize his selfishness at the time, he did think that Collins was totally unworthy of her.

But his too blunt tone messed up the conversation again, not only failed to get Mary's forgiveness, but also broke up with her.Watching her leave, his chest felt empty and uncomfortable as if a piece had been ripped out by someone.

Thinking that Collins will propose to Mary after returning home, and she is very likely to agree to become his fiancée, Darcy can't sleep no matter what, he sits in the living room all night, and finally decides to leave this place where he is completely out of control.

But before leaving the next day, he still couldn't control his heart, and followed when Bingley proposed to bid farewell to the Bennett's house.When he knocked on the door, only he knew that his heart was throbbing with excessive tension, and seeing Mrs. Bennet's joyful expression, a sharp whine sounded in his ears.

But God forbid, Mary rejected Collins' marriage proposal, and Darcy felt like a fish who was thrown back into the water when he was dying, and every cell was liberated.He immediately got up and went to look for Mary, but when he actually saw her, he couldn't say anything.

She asked him if he would come back, his heart was longing for her, but his mouth gave a negative answer.

His head was dizzy for a moment, and he felt more confused than ever. Even though he got Mary's forgiveness in the end, he didn't feel at ease at all.

After returning to London, he began to numb his restless heart with a lot of work.He even accepted the invitation of the libertine Sterling and attended a few blind date dances.The mellow wine and the charming girl couldn't cheer him up at all. He soon got tired of it and devoted all his mind to his work.That would allow him to get rid of the bizarre dreams every night and the great loss after waking up from the dreams.

But when he saw Mary again at the racecourse, he realized how much his heart longed for her and missed her.His heart was beating so fast that it hurt him.When she slowly approached him, he found himself afraid, afraid that this was another illusory dream.

He didn't know it was not his imagination until she took the initiative to say hello to him.He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and pulled away the chair beside her for her. When he realized that she was Sterling's latest pursuit, all the joy vanished into thin air.

Sterling was handsome, tall, wealthy, generous and aristocratic.He is the darling of the upper class and the object of pursuit of all unmarried girls.

For the first time, Darcy felt angry with his friend.He shouldn't be playing with Mary when he plays with anyone, he doesn't deserve her!

Intentionally or unintentionally, he showed his familiar relationship with Mary, trying to make Sterling retreat for his own sake.Yet he underestimated Mary's charm.She is a dusty pearl, and anyone with a little discernment will find the beauty hidden in her.Her composure, calmness, and wisdom have repeatedly attracted Sterling's attention.Unlike those vain women who blindly prostrate themselves under Sterling's suit pants, she used her knowledge to make a fortune.The two men completely became her foil.

After sending Mary away, Darcy warned Sterling cautiously, but in exchange for his unprecedented serious answer.He said he wanted to try to court Mary, and if he was sure he loved her he would marry her.He didn't care about her ordinary family background and meager dowry at all.

Darcy felt that the idea he had always insisted on was breaking.If Sterling uses his heart, who can resist his charm?It was a better deal than marrying Collins.But if she can marry Sterling, why can't she marry herself?At least I am more loyal than Sterling!

The mind was so chaotic, Darcy maintained a superficial calm, but after returning to the apartment, he suffered from insomnia all night.He found that his emotions were completely controlled by Mary, and everything he thought about was related to her.Whether this phenomenon is good or bad, he is still unclear for the time being.

In order to prevent Mary from being tied up with Sterling, he went to Gardner's mansion to pick up Mary in advance.She was dressed in a grand manner, and even the top sapphires couldn't take away her brilliance.Seeing the astonishment in Sterling's eyes, Darcy suddenly felt very anxious.He didn't want to take such Mary out at all.

In order to reduce the relationship between Mary and Sterling, he used some small tricks, and when others regarded him and Mary as a couple, he couldn't ignore the joy and satisfaction in his heart.

But soon, the arrival of Caroline Bingley shattered the sense of happiness that made him dizzy. She explained the reason why Bingley left without any reason, and put all the blame on him, as if it was not the person who tried to persuade Bingley at that time. She does.

Darcy would not deny what he had done.He watched Mary leave angrily and step into the dance floor with Sterling, his heart felt like someone had stabbed him hard, and the pain was unbearable.He even developed a loathing for Caroline Bingley.It was enough to make him realize what kind of feelings he had for Mary.

He wants to own her, wants her to be his own!And Caroline Bentley's remarks about 'title cannot be exchanged for happiness' made him completely sober.He finally realized that his list of disadvantages to marrying Mary was just a poor excuse to get rid of her overwhelming influence over him.She had already left an indelible mark on his heart.

He strode towards the two dancing together, wanting to hold Mary in his arms and tell her how he felt at the moment.

But what did he hear?She actually agreed to Collins' proposal, and was going to meet him in Hunsford in a few days?

Darcy felt every drop of blood throbbing in his veins, the great panic of losing the most precious thing in life.He desperately wanted to tell her his love, but was interrupted by Bingley, and then he never found a chance to talk to her alone, and even his plan to send her home was interrupted by the drunken Bingley.

He swore that he had never regretted befriending the Bentleys so much!

He finished the official business at hand as quickly as possible, and then rushed to Rosings Manor.For his own happiness, he must prevent this marriage, even if some indecent means are used in the process.

Collins, a humble, superficial, stupid, greedy man, how could he deserve the beautiful Mary?She can only belong to herself!
