Pirates of the Caribbean Princess Bella

Chapter 11

Lizzy's engagement ceremony is approaching.

Even though I had been helping her get dressed for an hour, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded when it was done.

Lizzy has been very beautiful since she was a child, as beautiful as a little princess in a fairy tale.

But look at her now!

A head of curly golden hair, the hair is like beautiful silk, hanging softly on the shoulders.I remember that there are a few noble ladies and wives in the port who boast of their golden hair, but their hair is nothing more than a ball of yellow and white wool. Lizzy's hair is the real golden hair!

The blond hair covered the white forehead, and under the two extremely beautiful eyebrows, a pair of emerald green eyes, like two emerald green lakes, filled with the joy of engagement and the expectation of a happy life in the future, made these eyes overflowing Colorful, too beautiful to behold.

While I was in a daze, Lizzy had already laughed heartily: "Dear Bella, are you trying to snatch me away from the engagement ceremony? Don't forget, they are waiting."

As I helped her put on the exquisite silver emerald hair crown, I blushed slightly: "What time is it, and you are still talking nonsense! I kidnapped you, and Will will deal with me."

Lizzy smiled and put something on her wrist again.

I saw that it was the pair of silver silk wristbands I brought back from London and gave her.

"What are you wearing these for?" I said. "You're going to an engagement, not a sword fight! Take it off! Here's a pair of nice blue lace to embellish..."

"No, I'll wear it," said Lizzy stubbornly. "Give it to me."

"No, you have to remember what you are going for," I smiled and tied the ribbon on her, "Very good! Now I can send you out, how beautiful it is!"

Two faint blushes appeared on her face: "Bella!"

We walked out together.

I heard a burst of exclamation when I went out, and then the maids laughed and sprinkled flower petals and shells. Lizzy and I stepped on the red carpet all the way to Will, who was wearing a blue dress and was smiling.

Standing next to him was a smiling father wearing that silver wig, and there was a faint fragrance coming from him.Not far from my father...

? ?

Why is he here?

James was standing not far from his father, wearing a three-cornered hat and an ordinary red uniform, holding a bouquet of blue and white flowers in his hands, without any abnormal expression on his face.

I haven't spoken to him for two days since that unpleasant conversation, and he hasn't gone out, just busy in his room.

I thought he wouldn't come.

After all—by the way, did he propose to Lizzy that time?

Proposed, but seeing the person you like getting engaged to someone else, you are actually indifferent?It really is—the former Brigadier General.

He is smiling.

If you read correctly, you are smiling at me.

If I read it wrong, it was smiling at Lizzy and me at the same time.

Lizzy didn't react at all, after all her energy was focused on Will's face now.Will gazes at his betrothed as he gazes at a nymph or a mermaid in the sea.

After I accompanied Lizzy to Will, I smiled and stood far away.

The priest begins the ceremony.

But I couldn't help being distracted.

I looked at Baba's cheerful face, the smiles and vague envy of the officers and ladies around me, and finally the scabbards and boots of the soldiers on guard.

The guests wished the engaged couple well.

Why is there a dance after every ceremony?

Why is James present today (for the second time since resigning) and still in good spirits?Indifferent to expressions of pity, sarcasm, or contempt from those around you?

Did he really discover Jones' other secrets after thinking about it?

Lizzy and Will, who are engaged, enter first to lead the dance.

I was thinking hard when I heard a familiar voice in my ear: "May I have the honor to ask you to dance?"

I wondered if it was Will?he--

I looked up: it was James!

There was a murmur from the people around.

After they saw James attend the engagement ceremony, some of them thought he was making a fool of the Swann family, others thought he might be in love with Lizzy and had to save face, and some of the rest thought he was young for a long time Qing became a brigadier general because of his father's relationship, so he was very jealous, wishing that he would make a fool of himself.

But since we have acquiesced in his presence, no one dares to make irresponsible remarks at this time.

But when he invited me to dance, someone finally couldn't stand it anymore.

A disgraced man who had let the pirates go by negligence (if not on purpose), and who had lost three ships in the pursuit of them, dared to invite the eldest daughter of the earl and viness, whom the queen herself conferred, to dance. What audacity!

I looked at him, and he smiled at me, his blue eyes as clear as a cloudless sky.

I didn't say anything, just stretched out my hand gently.

The engagement ceremony was a great success.

Lizzy's beauty is talked about by more people, and many people envy Will's good luck. A small blacksmith apprentice can be so high!

However, it can be seen that his father still has some prejudices against Will.

But because of his beloved daughter, he didn't say anything.He also thinks his daughter is extremely beautiful today.After the engagement, Will announced at dinner that he had bought a small house near the big house with money, and he and Lizzy could move into it when they were married.

Father was surprised, but I saw no objection from Lizzy.

Lizzy said, "Papa, that's how it should be."

My father was very worried: "But who will take care of you? Who will serve you? What about the cook? The maid? The footman..." James listened, smiled gently, and then looked at me.

I was baffled again, but I couldn't listen to my father's nagging, so I said, "Will, how do you solve these problems?"

Will said seriously: "Mr. Governor, I will solve it."

Father seemed to disagree, but he didn't say much.After all, today is the engagement ceremony.Lizzy joked with her father again to cheer him up, and the meal went smoothly.
