Dramas performed on the stage are very common. Judging from the material, it is an innocent and touching love story between a commoner knight and an aristocratic girl, which is full of romance and tragedy.
Imperial law stipulated that nobles could not marry commoners. The knight in the story had to go to the battlefield and make achievements in order to have a bright future with the noble girl. However, the day before he returned from victory, the girl committed suicide in order to keep her promise.
Many people cried after hearing this. Vivian looked at Victor and found that there was no wave in her eyes.
Also, this guy inherently lacks empathy.
After listening to the musical, Vivian and others left the theater.
The sun was shining brightly outside, so Annie held up a parasol.
Vivian glanced at Victor beside her, put the umbrella in his hand, and asked him to hold it for her.
Victor did not refuse. Anyway, it would not hurt him to play the brother and sister who have a good relationship. However, the knights were surprised when they saw it.
The two siblings spent a short time in the coffee shop, and then returned home in the afterglow of the sunset.
At night, Victor swung his sword in the martial arts field. His clothes were soaked with sweat before he returned to the room to freshen up and take a shower. Under the towel covering his short silver hair, his dark blue eyes radiated sharp light.
Vivian is very strange, like a witch crawling out of hell. She used to be innocent and kind, but now Wujian always exudes a mature temperament beyond her years.
Victor plans to win over Vivian's personal maid, Anne likes gorgeous jewelry, and Fia once secretly wrote a love letter to the knight. He has many ways to win over and threaten maids with low status.
It's a pity that this failed, because before he could ask the question, the two maids said: "I'm sorry, Master. The lady asked you to ask her personally if you have any questions. We are just ignorant servants."
Victor was furious, she was indeed a witch, otherwise how could she know the past and future!
In the next few days, Vivian learned etiquette while competing with Victor. In the blink of an eye, it’s May 28th, the first day of the masquerade.
The masquerade in the palace has always been famous for its romance and excitement. Women in ordinary dances will arrange elegant dance partners to accompany them, but the masquerade is anonymous and only those who have received an invitation can participate.
Vivian asked Victor to send her to the palace by name. No matter what she asked for during this period, Victor has not refused.
Laura was worried that doing so would irritate him, but Vivian felt that it would be easier to get into trouble if people like Victor didn't arrange things for him.
"Have fun, sis."
"Remember to pick me up at twelve o'clock."
Vivian smiled and put on the golden butterfly mask, then walked into the luxurious and decadent banquet hall with her head held high.
Everyone is wearing a mask and dressing up as another person, twisting their bodies under the brilliant lights like the Milky Way. Next to the banquet hall were filled with delicacies from the mountains and seas, and all the indoor fountains were replaced with fragrant wine.
The most exciting thing is that there are secret spaces on both sides of the corridor behind the hall called the "Shell Lounge". When a man and a woman see each other, they can spend a decadent time there, regardless of whether they are married or not.
Tsk tsk, this is the so-called nobility.
Vivian wandered alone in the banquet hall, more interested in the conversation among the nobles than dancing. The Masquerade was a hotbed of gossip, and because of the anonymity there was much exciting conversation.
"Have you heard the rumors?"
Just in time, a conversation coming from nearby caught her attention.
"The second prince was seen kissing Miss Eunice."
"Oh, my God, Miss Eunice let two royal families fight over her. It's such a sin."
"Miss Catherine is obviously more suitable to be the Crown Princess. I really wonder what means Miss Eunice used to confuse the princes?"
"Oh my gosh, two guys fighting for one girl, it's so fun!"
The three noble ladies exclaimed in a low voice. Rather than saying that they came to attend the ball, it was better to say that they came to watch the fun.
Vivian followed the sound and saw a girl wearing a silver mask being pulled to the shell room by a tall man. However, she was stopped by another man before she took two steps.
Others didn't know, but Vivian knew very well that these three people were clearly Eunice, the crown prince, and the second prince. Fortunately they wore masks, otherwise the scandal of the imperial prince stealing women would have been spread for fifty years.
All the dancers stopped and looked at the three people arguing. I thought the girl would choose one of the two, but unexpectedly another man jumped out.
The girl finally left with the third man, and the music continued, but everyone was guessing who these four people were.
Vivian smiled as she watched Remino take Eunice away.
In the original plot, the crown prince did not realize his feelings. It was not until Eunice left with another man that he realized that he fell in love with her.
The second prince had been interested in Eunice since their last meeting. When he learned that the crown prince liked her, he went all out to sow discord. Of course, later on he also fell in love with Eunice and wanted to kill the crown prince.
Remino knew that Eunice belonged to the Crown Prince, so he always reminded himself to keep his distance. But the longer they spent together, the more painful he became, and finally died to save Eunice.
The four people who had argued all left the banquet hall, and the music started playing again, as if the scene just now was just a pre-dinner condiment.
"Oh, beautiful golden rose, would you like to dance with me?" A man walked up to Vivian.
"I'm sorry, your compliment is too outdated, I can't feel the sincerity." Vivian shook her head.
"Then master of the garden, please allow me to pick a flower to decorate the bedside tonight?" The man said more and more excessively.
"Picking flowers" means obscenity in this situation. I really want to punch his dog's head off with one punch. Do you really think that with two ounces of extra meat on your crotch, you can do whatever you want?
"If you like pain, I will be happy to spend a hot night with you." Vivian said ambiguously.
"What, what? Pain!"
"It's a shame that none of my three lovers survived beatings."
"No, no need!"
The man ran away in fright, and Vivian couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm very good at enduring pain. I wonder if I can invite a lady to dance with me?" Just as the man in front left, another one came.
"It seems we are really destined." Vivian put her hand on the man's palm and followed him to the center of the dance floor.
Tonight she was wearing a red wig and Jay was wearing a silver wig, so she said it was fate.
As the night deepened, the atmosphere of ambiguity at the dance became stronger and stronger. A girl who doesn't understand love kisses for the first time, a boy who doesn't understand desire learns to take off his corset, and every shell house has an "In Use" sign on it.
"I heard there will be an underground auction tomorrow night, I'm very interested." Vivian said softly.
"I will send the invitation letter tomorrow morning." Jay was surprised. Not even the nobles in the royal capital knew about the underground auction. It seemed that the princess was more mysterious than imagined.
"Thank you. Silver hair suits you very well."
"Red hair is also very suitable for men and women."
After the dance, Vivian rested for a while and then left the palace.
The next day, Jay sent the invitation letter as agreed.
Vivian chose to attend the underground auction instead of the masquerade. Anyway, after yesterday, there would be nothing interesting tonight.
