In Griffin's mansion, the party is still going on.
As the niece of Lord Brennan, the city lord, Rosalie became the focus of the party. She talked and laughed casually while walking around, and various voices echoed and complimented her, explaining to her the origins of the flowers and plants in front of her, telling her the most interesting things about Quebes, and so on.
In this way, after visiting most of the mansion garden, Rosalie was satisfied and a little tired.
"That's it. I heard that Griffin Family recently had a daughter. I don't know who it is. I haven't seen it yet." Her topic turned to the Griffin Family and Eliel again.
"Are you talking about Mr. Alanfude's niece, Eliel's new sister?"
"Yes." Rosalie recalled the name he heard from the city lord.
"It seems to be called Hedra."
"This..." Most people present had never heard of this name, and it was only because Sylutia kept a low profile after arriving at Quebes, and Mrs. Haye also deliberately did not take her to any social occasions.
However, there are also a small number of Eliel's besties and friends who know about Hedra.
"I know. I heard Eliel say before that she has a distant cousin who moved to live with their family due to family changes. She was also recognized as an adopted daughter by Mr. Alanfude."
"Oh, where is she? Didn't she come out today?" Rosalie will continue to ask.
"I don't know about this. I'm afraid I have to ask Eliel." The girl on the side shrank her head. She had heard about the general situation from Eliel. If that Hedra performed poorly and lost people, I'm afraid Eliel would hold a grudge against her in the future.
"Don't you know?" Rosalie looked around and found that no one had seen the "Hedra", which made her even more curious.
At this moment, the ladies and gentlemen gathered around Rosalie grabbed a servant in the yard and asked.
"Where is the other young lady in your family?"
"What are you talking about?" The servant had actually heard it, but still wanted to pretend to be stupid. After all, Eliel had specifically told Hedra not to come out during the party.
"Your new lady, Hedra." Rosalie named her directly.
"This..." He looked embarrassed and hesitated, and when he saw Weiss next to him, he frowned and stepped forward.
"What is there to hesitate about now? Didn't you see that Miss Rosalie wants to see someone? Are you hiding it like this to make Eliel embarrassed?" After his scolding, the servant obviously couldn't bear the pressure. Seeing that he was alone and helpless, he had no choice but to lead everyone to the place where Sylutia lived in the mansion.
On the other side of the garden, Eliel and Vierluna are sitting under an umbrella, but Vierluna is drinking tea calmly, while Eliel is holding his head in his knees and wiping tears, and is afraid of being seen like this.
"Alas..." Seeing how fragile Eliel was, Vierluna's previous dislike for her also dissipated a lot, and she felt a little pity and pity.
"Come, wipe your tears." She handed over a handkerchief.
Taking the handkerchief from Vierluna, Eliel reluctantly raised his head, revealing his eyes that were red and swollen from crying. Then he wiped them with shame and tidied up the messy face makeup and hair accessories.
"Thank you, thank you." Her voice was still choked and stiff.
At this moment, a servant hurried over.
"No, miss, they want to see the third lady, and they are already rushing to the room where the third lady lives."
"What?" Eliel stood up in surprise, something bad suddenly came to his mind.
She quickly picked up her skirt and asked the servant to lead the way.
"Sorry, Vierluna, I have to leave beforehand." After she said this hastily, she took the servants and maids and hurried in the direction of the Rosalie group of people.
Seeing her leaving in a hurry, Vierluna shook her head. She really didn't understand why so many things happened today, but this moment also aroused her curiosity.
"Let's go and have a look. If we miss it, my mother will tell me when I get home."
"Yes, Miss." The maid beside her accompanied Vierluna and also walked towards the place where the crowd gathered.
In the room, Sylutia was flipping through the pages of a book, holding a pen in his hand and occasionally writing on notes to help memorize some key things.
When she heard the noise in the yard downstairs, she didn't pay much attention, but when the footsteps of a group of people got closer and closer, and they walked up the steps to the second floor, she also felt something was wrong.
Now, except for a few servants and maids on the second floor, she was the only one who might be the target of this group of people.
Are you here to find me? But she doesn't have many acquaintances in Quebes.
No matter what the purpose of the other party's visit was, Sylutia put down the book, came to the mirror, briefly arranged his clothes, took the sunhat hanging behind the door, put it on, and walked out of the room.
Even if we meet, it would be better if we meet outside. It would be a bit rude and embarrassing to be forced to meet guests in a bedroom.
Arriving at a balcony on the second floor, Sylutia sat in the shade, where the sun was not directly exposed to the sun. Facing the backyard of the mansion, it was quite quiet and could hear the chirping of cicadas.
"Pour me some tea, Margo, thank you for your hard work."
"Yes, Miss." The maid standing beside her went to prepare. At this moment, the footsteps of a group of people also came from the corridor in front of the mansion, getting closer and closer.
During this period, Sylutia heard them asking the servants where they were. After some guidance and instructions, these footsteps walked past the bedroom where she lived and headed towards the balcony in the backyard.
"Is this here?" Rosalie's voice was full of excitement and curiosity, as if he was playing some kind of treasure hunt game.
"Yes, Miss Rosalie." The servant responded with a grimace. It's time. It's useless to deny it anymore. It will only offend this noble lady.
"Hiding it so deeply, huh." Rosalie walked briskly, leading a group of curious men and women behind him towards the corner of the corridor.
The trees planted next to the mansion are tall and straight. The sunlight passes through the yellowing green leaves and falls on the walkway with white pillars, casting shadows. There is a gentle breeze here, and there is a pleasant tranquility that is not found in the front yard of the mansion. The air seems to be a little cooler.
On the balcony at the end of the corridor, a girl wearing a wide-brimmed sunhat sat upright. The brim of the black elegant hat was decorated with dark blue and white Cornflower, tied into a beautiful bow with a ribbon. The profile of the girl's face under the brim, half hidden by the shadow under the hat, could not be seen clearly.
She has a quiet figure, and there is a layer of white folds on the black skirt, giving her a somewhat girlish aura. Seeing her from a distance makes people calm down unconsciously.
Rosalie slowly slowed down, and the excitement on her face slowly faded away. When she came to Sylutia, her behavior had become cautious.
At this moment, she respectfully bent over and lifted her skirt, saluting an outsider she met for the first time today.
"Hello, my name is Rosalie, may I meet you."
Hearing her words, the girl with a mysterious and pure temperament in everyone's eyes slowly turned around, revealing her black gem-like eyes and her soft hair that gently covered her graceful shoulders and neck.
"Hello, my name is Hedra, nice to meet you." Simple and clear words floated in the breeze.
Although there are no gorgeous dresses and accessories, the simple black summer skirt and sun hat show off the girl's temperament, giving people the illusion that she has stepped into another world, giving her a dreamy feeling that is inconsistent with this world.
Then Margo brought tea and poured it quietly on the small table between the two of them.
Just like that, when Eliel arrived a few minutes later, what he saw was a group of people gathered outside the balcony, and Rosalie in the middle was talking happily with the unknown sister.
This gap between facts and expectations made her stunned again, wondering how things developed like this.
She was obviously a girl from the countryside, but how she could talk to that young lady calmly and calmly? Whether she had humiliated Griffin Family, and whether she had said anything bad about herself, made Eliel feel uneasy.
However, at this moment, she no longer had the courage to rush over and question him, so she could only hide behind and watch slowly, with mixed feelings in her heart.
Obviously I am the legitimate daughter of the Green Fen family...
At this moment, she remembered something again and found the place where Master Weiss was in the crowd. Master Weiss, who had been noticed before, was standing in the corner like many men and women, watching the two people talking and laughing on the balcony. His appearance was no different from the others around him, looking eager and envious.
Suddenly, she felt disgusted. She had deliberately tried to please this kind of person before, but not long ago, Weiss didn't help her at all, and the scene of snobbishly abandoning her appeared in her mind again.
Suddenly, Eliel felt that everything was so disappointing, and her heart was filled with disappointment. She no longer stayed, but slowly left in despair.
At this moment, at the center of everyone's attention, Sylutia felt a little anxious. Being surrounded by so many people, but she was not relaxed or happy at all. She began to wonder why Eliel never came over. If only this cheap cousin could be more domineering and lock her in the house.
Alas, what a sad day, the same thoughts floated in their minds.
