The Countess’s face flushed red and white.
“No, my Lord Duke, there is nothing going on in our house, I was just …… today.”
“Madame Emile, is it because your finances have started to get tight after you bought the Duke of Helene’s share in the school? So why is this necessary for you?”
“Yes, you can’t even afford a piece of jewellery anymore, you’re only wearing a beaded flower like this around your neck, madam, this is the old duke’s birthday party, even the Prince and the others will be coming over later, is this appropriate for you?”
“……”
Everyone started to sneer at this countess in a blatant manner.
Because, Duke Helene was suddenly made to look like this by someone who wasn’t from their country, they were actually very upset, and this Countess, was actually still very nice to that little girl at school.
The Countess finally turned pale.
Was the Prince coming too?
Then if that was the case, she really was dressed too rudely today.
The Countess was so pale that she intended to leave immediately.
But just then, a young girl, still in her school uniform, came in from behind the crowd, after she had seen how many people were targeting her lady alone.
The little girl’s pretty little face was full of frost!
“What’s so inappropriate about that? Today’s protagonists are our old duke, and his wife, isn’t it alright for our countess to dress plainly and save the brightest light for the two of them?”
Having said this, the girl reached out and opened the gift box that the Countess had not yet had time to give away.
All of a sudden, after seeing a very dazzling light appear, everyone was shocked to see that inside the gift box lay a long sword encrusted with precious stones!
“My goodness, isn’t this …… the sword that the old duke lost on the battlefield back then?”
“Yes, after all these years, the old duke can’t stop thinking about it, where on earth did she find it?”
“I don’t know ……”
Those last three words were uttered.
All the guests in this opulent hall had actually lost it.
Yes, this was the real congratulations.
To make a racket and lose is for the guests to take away the glory of the host instead, and these people in front of me, they are now performing exactly these four words.
It was simply dripping.
Only this Countess had done it, she had brought the gift that the old Duke wanted most, and had covered all the lustre from herself as well, and such a person was a true friend.
The faces of all those in the hall went down red.
But it was not over yet, for immediately after this countess came forward to offer her gift, the lady standing next to the old duke noticed, at a glance, the little cherry blossom she was wearing around her neck ……
“Is this …… the devil’s tear?”
“What?”
The Countess was bewildered.
Likewise, Ruo Ruo, who was standing next to her, was also bewildered.
But the old duchess was even more excited: “Yes, it’s the devil’s tears, for goodness sake, who did this? Why is it so unethical? To cut a good pink diamond, famous all over the world, like this?!!!”
The Countess: “……”
The guests: “……”
For a second, no one in the hall could make a sound, the only thing that could be heard was the gasps of air coming out of everyone’s throat!
And all Ruo Ruo wanted to do was to find a hole to get out of here and get a confession from Daddy, or else what if he flew over to clean her up again?
But, it was already too late.
“Ruo Ruo, this ……?”
“Ah, madam, I …… don’t know, this is my daddy bought it for me as a bracelet, I saw that the Countess has no jewellery today, so I strung it for you as decoration.”
“……”
“Dang…”
The whole hall fell down in a heap!
This is insane!
How many rich and noble people had spent their lives without being able to get this rare pink diamond, but her father was so kind as to break it and give it to her to wear as a bracelet, and now he had the heart to make it into a flower for someone else.
Everyone was going to die of bloodshed.
In the end, the Countess hurriedly took the flower off and carefully returned it to the heartless little girl’s hand.
“Ruo Ruo, how can you be so reckless, do you know how much this is worth? Hurry up and put it away.”
“…… okay.”
Ruo Ruo could only take it honestly.
When she went to look at the guests in the hall again, she found that they were all smiling very stiffly when they met her gaze, and those gems and diamonds and stuff that they had been showing off.
They all took them off as well, and just hated how concealed they could be put away.
Ugh ……
The actual fact is that she really didn’t mean it.
Ruo Ruo scratched her little head apologetically.
“So you are that little princess of the God family, little princess, our Prince has also arrived, would you like to come with us to meet him?”
“Huh?”
Ruo Ruo, who had just finished putting her little “flower” in her pocket, was a bit overwhelmed when she saw that the old duke and his wife had come to invite her to meet the Prince in person.
“Go on, Ruo Ruo, I’ll accompany you. If you become a royal designer, you’ll have access to many more great designers, all of whom are very famous and who only design for the royal family.”
The Countess advised.
Of course, she, who was growing fond of the little girl, did not tell him that the very fine little prince of their royal family had come over too.
