Princess Alice's Diary

Chapter 7 c***k

"Are you...Miss Alice?? Why are you here? Your clothes..."

Alice looked at these aristocratic young men who had suddenly arrived, and then looked at Doris who looked at her with doubtful eyes.

At this time, Alice was in chaos. She wished that time would stop here. She didn't know how to face Doris...

Time goes back to two hours ago...

"Smashed by a few nobles?" Alice didn't know what expression to use to express her complicated mood at this moment. She thought about it all morning, and even left morning class because she was thinking about the problem between herself and Doris. She was so confused that the teacher criticized her for this.

However, after a morning of thinking and countless dialogue rehearsals in her mind, Alice finally decided to explain her identity to Doris today, but at this time, something like this happened.

"Yes, just this morning, but it didn't matter. The nearby patrols discovered the troublemaking nobles and rushed over. The nobles did not continue to make trouble, and Uncle James quickly got a few new tables over. .”

Although Doris' tone was calm, the look of disgust in her eyes was still caught by Alice. It was such a look of disgust that made Alice retreat from her plan to confess today.

"It seems that Doris hates nobles very much..." Alice thought in her heart.

"Oh..." Alice seemed a little distracted at this time.

"What's wrong?" Doris, who was attentive, noticed something strange about Alice.

"No...no...that, Doris, you seem to hate aristocrats?" Alice laughed.

Doris fell silent when Alice asked her this question.

Alice saw that Doris didn't answer for a long time, but she knew the answer from the indifferent expression with a hint of disgust.

Alice felt very uncomfortable. For the first time, she felt disgusted with her aristocratic status.

"Noble... Fortunately, a noble lady bought some pastries here a few days ago. The price of the pastries was eighty copper coins, but she generously gave me a gold coin."

Alice looked at Doris, who was smiling a little reluctantly, and she discovered that Doris seemed to be hiding something from her. Although I don’t know what it is specifically, it is definitely related to the nobility. Maybe the noble once felt sorry for her.

"It seems that today is not the right day to confess... Let's take it slow..." Alice looked at Doris who was smiling bitterly and escaping.

After taking a deep breath, Alice smiled and said to Doris: "Is there anything you need my help with in the store today?"

Seeing Alice change the topic, Doris breathed a sigh of relief, as if she didn't want to talk more about the topic of nobles.

Doris looked at Alice with her head tilted and pulled her behind the counter.

"You are responsible for collecting the money. If you are asked to do other things, it will be very bad~"

"Hey! Do you look down on me?" Alice raised her head and glared at Doris, who was half a head taller than her.

"Don't think it's easy to collect money, you know?"

"Diana~Long time no see~"

After working for more than an hour, Doris' mother came out of the kitchen.

"Hello~ Aunt Joanna, Doris said you were busy behind the scenes, and she wouldn't let me pass for fear that I would cause trouble." Alice greeted obediently.

"Thank you for coming to help this afternoon. Okay, okay, there are not many people today, so there is no need to rush to make pastries. I will leave it to James later. You two little guys go and have a rest." Joanna walked behind the counter and put Doris and Alice had their jobs taken away from them.

"I can finally rest." Alice stretched in relief.

Looking at Alice who was stretching and making a meow-like sound like "Hmm~~" from her mouth, Doris joked: "Mom, Alice is not here to help. Look at her. What she looks like now is just a little girl who is forced to work.”

"Hey hey hey!!" Alice became dissatisfied.

"Just kidding, honey, I'm going to get some donuts I made, and let's sit outside and chat."

"Is there any cream cake?"

"It's a pity that I can't make cream cakes. You can shamelessly ask Uncle James for some."

"Uh...it doesn't matter, I like donuts too, especially the ones you make~"

Alice and Doris sat together happily, chatting about what had happened to them during the week. Seeing Doris smiling happily, Alice really hoped that after confessing, she could be with Doris as freely as she was now.

But sometimes things just don't go as planned.

Several young men dressed as nobles came to Doris Pastry House.

-------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"Miss Alice? Why are you dressed like this? I didn't recognize you just now. If it weren't for your dazzling beautiful blond hair, I wouldn't have noticed you at all. Oh~ These rough civilian clothes will make you... The skin is damaged. Uh...you don't remember me? We met at the Duke's birthday party this year."

Alice doesn't know magic, and she doesn't have Doraemon's magical props, so she can't pause time. The boy's voice brought Alice back to reality.

Looking at the young man with a flattering smile on his face, Alice stared at him coldly.

"Please, please, get out of here right now!" Alice's tone was very cold, and that cold tone seemed to freeze the air.

"What...what happened?" The young man was very surprised. You must know that at Duke Eberron's birthday party, Alice was beautiful, cute, and polite, but now...

"I don't want to repeat what I just said."

"Uh...well...I guess I disturbed you."

Several noble teenagers left. Although they didn't know why Alice had such an attitude towards them, they had no idea because her father was the lord of Noah Plains.

Alice looked at Doris who lowered her head and remained silent.

The two sat quietly.

Finally Doris broke the silence between them.

"Is your name Alice?" Doris said calmly without raising her head.

Alice didn't know what to say at this time. She regretted not confessing to Doris first. This feeling of having her identity revealed would make Doris feel cheated.

"Yes, but Diana is my other name. I thought I could explain to you that I..."

Before Alice could finish speaking, Doris interrupted her.

"Alice... One of the characteristics of the Lancaster family is their purple eyes." At this point, Doris raised her head and looked at Alice's purple eyes with eyes that had lost their luster.

"And the Duke of Lancaster's daughter is called Alice, right? Are you the Duke's daughter?"

Alice nodded with difficulty. Then he immediately said eagerly: "Doris, can you listen to my explanation? I concealed my identity as a noble. I know you may be biased against nobles, but I am different from other nobles. I..."

"Can you please leave? Miss Alice." Doris interrupted Alice again.

"me……"

Alice looked at Doris, whose body was trembling slightly and whose eyes were filled with tears, and felt a sudden pain in her heart.

"I'm sorry, I forgot that you are a noble noble, and I am the one who should leave." After saying this, Doris turned and left.

"Don't be like this, okay, Doris." Alice quickly stepped forward and took Doris's hand.

"Don't touch me!" Doris shook off Alice's hand.

Alice looked at Doris who was far away, her mind went blank.

Duke's Palace.

"Bella, why didn't Alice come to dinner?" Donna asked looking at Bella who was alone.

"Madam, the young lady said she doesn't feel well and doesn't want to have dinner."

Hearing Bella say that Alice was not feeling well, Donna immediately showed an anxious look.

Just when Donna was about to get up and go to Alice's room, Eberron pressed his hand on Donna and motioned her to sit down first.

"Bella, as the lady's personal maid, you should not simply convey things, but express your own opinions."

Looking at Eberron with encouraging eyes, Bella thought for a moment and said: "I don't think the young lady is feeling unwell, but...but maybe something unhappy has happened to her, and the young lady is in a very low mood. .”

Hearing what Bella said, Eberron and Donna looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"I think Alice may have encountered some trouble in the afternoon." Eberron said helplessly.

Hearing what Eberron said, Bella's eyes showed a hint of worry.

At this time, Alice wrapped herself completely in the quilt, with only a pair of pink feet and a few strands of blond hair exposed.

Alice's mind is in turmoil now and she doesn't know what to do. Doris is one of her best friends. In her previous life, she didn't have a close friend, coupled with the lack of family affection, she was particularly concerned about her friends in this life. However, now Doris's departure makes her very sad. The pain, as if something had dug out a piece of her heart, gave her a feeling of suffocation.

"Dong dong dong." There was a knock on the door, followed by Donna's voice.

"Alice, are you okay?"

Hearing her mother's voice, Alice twisted in the quilt, stretched out her head, and weakly said to her mother outside the door: "I'm fine, Mom, I want to go to bed now. You can let me go to bed earlier today." Okay?"

The door opened and Donna walked to Alice's bedside.

Donna looked at Alice, whose hair was messed up and her eyes were dull, and sighed secretly.

Alice looked at her loving mother and felt a little warm in her heart.

"Poor little guy, can you tell me what happened?" Donna opened her hands to Alice.

Alice looked at Donna with her hands open, twisted out of the quilt, and then slowly leaned into her mother's arms...
