"Arghhh!"
For her shame and irritation, Aline, who is Lady Lambert, burst out shouting in the afternoon after her studies.
"My Lady, what's wrong?"
Lady Lambert in deep thought.
' what the heck, happened, why does its have to be 10 subject's in a day and ended up in the afternoon. There's swordsmanship, arithmetic, diplomacy or politics, Etiquette, Social Studies, Embroidery, History, Music, Biology, Literature'.
"My Lady?"
Anna who's following Lady Lambert as she was walking in her deep thought.
'Arghh! It's like I'm in high school again'
"My Lady!"
"wahhh! what's that"
" hehe... sorry my Lady you we're in dazed and seems like in a deep thought"
"hehe... I'm just tired"
"O my! my lady, why not I prepare some snacks also tea for you to enjoy?"
"Well, okay I'll have some, thank you"
"I'll be going then my lady" Ana said, bowing in proper etiquette before leaving the room.
"thank god Ana leaves the room".
After Ana had left, she pondered on what had happened earlier.
' Oh yeah I think my answer to the question given by Marquess Walsh is a bit dumb"
"Ahh! why did I say that again".
Aline's shifted point of view.
' Well that's my way of handling bankruptcy though, also using other people talents is the only way to make masterpiece. Also, In the verge of bankruptcy we can't afford money, which is one necessity on making business'.
' I think it's a bit concerning, for me to show my different knowledge. And taking a good impression towards people.'
"Oh yeah! is it good if I: play naïve or foolish, or acting smart, clever, and matured."
' Either way, I think it's not that good in acting either dumb or clever. I can do both though'.
' Well...back when I'm Aline Fernandez, I act in a matured way. I endured such burden, also many people always expect much from me, and my company starts to depend on me. Well it has a good advantage for you, because back then people around me respect me politely. But when they turned their back's with that politeness in their face. I can feel the the presence of jealousy and menacing around me.'
' Moreover, being clever means no one can act recklessly towards you, and no one will dare to underestimate you nor be disobedient with your commandment. It's more easy too... for people to trust and entrust you with management in business and power.'
' Acting dumb Is good though... They'll underestimate you... and I know that... '
' If you act innocent no one can easily blame you, and many people will favor you, because, I'm dumb which will make me as their own puppet to seek power in their status. Additionally, they will not easily find, your own weaknesses... because.... it's not your real personality'.
"Well, either way it has it's own disadvantages."
"knock! knock! knock!"
'Mmmmhhhh...which is better playing foolish or acting matured or clever...?'
"BANG!"
"Ahhh! What the... "
"My Lady, are you there?!"
As the loud crashing knock in the door, The lady is so surprised and immediately opened the door.
"Wait, what's with the commotion, I'm so surprised". The Lady said with timid expression.
"I'm so sorry my lady, I tried to knock the door many time's I thought that you didn't heard of me knocking the door, also it's a bit concerning, I thought your in danger my lady!" Ana said, with tea and snacks with her that she prepared for the lady.
"Oh yeah! I'm sorry Ana, hehe... I'm in a deep thought recently."
"How long did you knock the door" The lady said with concern.
" Let's see maybe 30 minutes ago" Ana said
" What! that long I'm sorry hehe..."
"Let's enjoy the tea Ana, come in" The lady said with bright expression.
" My lady I'm your servant and I can't do that"
" But... your a noble too right... please" The lady said
' Arghh, why does my lady always had such cute expression' Ana talking in her mind.
" Okay my lady, but... just this once"
" Okay, thank you"
They enjoy the tea and snacks together, but that leaves Aline in deep pondering
' Mmmhhh, Ana is super friendly and fun to be with, but, such a shame that she's been knocking the whole time and didn't heard of it, because of deep thoughts... '
'what is better though, dumb or clever?'
"My lady?"
"Ah huh?"
"My Lady What are you thinking? your like that, since you ended your classes"
" Uhmm, Ana if..."
"Huh, say it my lady I will not tell other's I promised!" Ana said with brave look.
"Pfft, okay................................. if your going to meet strangers that your not familiar with, what's better; acting dumb or innocent; Or acting mature with intelligence".
"well... acting with intelligence is better because no one will underestimate you..... wait why are you asking me this again my lady"
"I don't know also..... maybe because I want opinions of other before I act?"
"huh?"
Ana's in dazed while the lady's enjoying her tea.
A minute later Ana speak again to the lady's question.
"My lady! I have an answer to your question before"
" what's that?" The lady said tilting her head.
" Well, acting is good though, but it's better if you act in your true self or your true nature."
" Why's that Ana?"
" Because, strangers are just strangers and you can chose people who your going to give attention with, also it depends on people personality if you act either dumb or clever"
"I'm sorry If, I talk to you casually my Lady." Ana bowing her head hesitantly
"Pfftt... Hahahahahahha, you had a good hearth Ana, and clever too.... I like you" Lady Lambert said, brightly with a cute face.
"Agshh my lady I'm going to die peacefully" Ana said
" Hahahahhaha" The lady laughs.
In a few seconds Ana faint with her smile in her face.
"Ana!"
The lady rushed towards Ana. And surprised by Ana's action.
"What, you faint right?"
" Yes my lady, but it's not an actual faint because of some illness, it's a faint caused by your beauty."
' wait faint by someone's beauty.... '
Remembering the manhwa that she read, about harem and lovers with perfect attraction of one's face.
'oh that'
"My lady are you surprised, sorry I will not do it again"
" Yeah, go to your room now.... it's quite late"
" Yes my lady, thank you for the tea!" Ana said gratefully.
'Arghh!, that's embarrassing, well my face feature's is attractive though...."
