Princess Alice's Diary

Chapter 8 Bella’s decision

The sky is covered with dark clouds, and there is a depressing atmosphere between heaven and earth. This is a sign before the heavy rain comes.

Bella looked at the dark sky outside the window, feeling an unspeakable sadness in her heart.

It seems to be because of the weather, and it also seems to be because of...the lost Alice.

Bella retracted her gaze from the window and quickly picked out the clothes Alice would wear today. Why is it so fast? Because Alice really doesn't care much about her clothes. Other noble ladies would not let servants choose clothes for themselves. Fortunately, Bella had a good sense and the clothes she chose were very suitable for Alice.

Bella came to Alice's room with clothes in her hands, stood outside the door half paid, then slowly opened the door and walked in.

Bella, who came to the bedside, frowned as she looked at Alice, who was curled up in the quilt like a shrimp.

To be honest, Bella never understood why Alice, who was very ladylike in front of everyone, had such a bad sleeping experience.

"Miss, miss, get up." Bella gently shook Alice's shoulder.

"Hmm~~~~~~~"

Alice let out a long moan, twisted her body, closed her eyes and said in a soft voice: "Good morning, Bella..."

"Good morning, miss, I think it's time for you to get up now, instead of closing your eyes and enjoying the last warmth in the bed." Bella's characteristic cold voice rang out.

Alice opened her eyes with difficulty, looked at Bella, and then looked around.

"What time is it now, Bella, are you here early?"

Alice asked because of the weather today. Because the sky outside was covered with dark clouds, sunlight could not penetrate the thick dark clouds, making the sky look much darker than usual.

"It's already seven o'clock, miss."

"It's seven o'clock? Oh my god, when did you learn to lie, Bella? It's only half past five at most. Let me sleep for a while~" After saying that, Alice curled up into the quilt again.

Bella looked at the dimly lit bedroom and understood.

"It's really already seven o'clock, miss, but the weather today is very bad. The dark clouds have covered the sun. It seems that it will rain heavily in a while." Bella took out a candle and lit it as she spoke. Placed on the candlestick.

"Is it going to rain?" Alice sat up from the bed and murmured.

Bella saw Alice getting up and walked over to help Alice get dressed.

Alice leaned weakly against Bella, letting Bella manipulate her like a marionette.

Alice had always lived alone in her previous life and could take care of everything on her own, but in this life she even needed help from others to put on her clothes. It's not that she has become lazy, or that she doesn't want to wear it herself, it's just that she doesn't know how to wear women's clothes, especially cumbersome aristocratic clothes.

But, maybe, maybe... yes... Alice liked the feeling of leaning against Bella.

"Bella smells good," Alice thought.

Alice raised her head slightly, looked at Bella who was helping her dress seriously, and suddenly said: "Bella, after breakfast today, can you accompany me to morning class? Well, today is a painting class."

Bella stopped what she was doing, looked at Alice strangely, and then continued to dress Alice.

"sure."

"Thank you, Bella~"

It has been more than a week since she was separated from Doris. In the first few days, people in the castle were very worried about Alice. Because at that time, Alice seemed to have lost her soul. Sometimes she would stagger when walking, and she would fall down at any time. But although Alice still looks a little depressed now, it's obviously not like she was in those days.

As always, breakfast at the Duke's house was a favorite time of the family.

"Dad, can Bella accompany me to the morning class that will be waiting for a while?" Alice asked her father.

After hearing what Alice said, Eberron glanced at Bella who was standing behind Alice, then looked away and said with a smile: "Of course."

"Thank you, Dad." Alice said vaguely while eating the cake.

"Dear Alice, although we don't ask you to do those aristocratic etiquette when eating at home, can you finish eating everything in your mouth before speaking. You will choke if you talk with food in your mouth," Donna said with some reproach. .

"I'll be careful next time, mom." Alice said obediently.

Donna shook her head, and then seemed to remember something.

"Alice, you went to see Doris yesterday?"

Alice stopped holding the knife and fork in her hand, was silent for a moment, and then nodded slightly.

"Doris...what did she say?"

Alice sat there quietly without speaking.

Donna looked at the silent Alice and knew the answer.

"Maybe... it would be better for you to talk to Doris after a while. I think she may not be able to accept you now."

"may be."

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." It started to rain. Alice was supposed to go out to sketch in today's painting class, but the plan was suspended because of the rain.

Anna is Doris's art teacher. At the age of 27, she is called the youngest oil painting master in history by the art world.

Anna has an enviable talent in oil painting, and she also makes full use of her talent to create stunning works of art one after another.

However, after being invited by the Duke of Eberron to be Alice's teacher, the youngest oil painting master in history discovered that there are several fascinating painting techniques in the world, one of which is what Alice is currently using. pencil sketch.

Of course, there are no pencils in this world. The pencil in Alice's hand was made by Alice asking her father to make it. Um? Duke Eberron didn't ask Alice why she asked him to make this thing called a pencil? Oh, the Duke must have asked.

Alice's answer was that she accidentally picked up some black stones (graphite) from outside and found that these black stones can be used for writing and painting, especially for painting, which has a very good effect. So Duke Eberron asked someone to make them thinner, and then rolled some paper on the outside. Then, simple pencils appeared.

Of course, this pencil is very difficult to use, but Alice can still use it to write and draw.

Alice, stopped the pen in her hand...

"Who is this girl? She looks beautiful." Anna asked Alice. Bella also looked at Alice with questioning eyes.

"She is... her name is Doris, she is a friend of mine, a good friend." Alice said lonely.

"Is she Doris?" Bella thought as she looked at the lifelike girl in the painting.

Bella has never met Doris, but she often hears Alice mention her. Alice would smile happily every time she was mentioned before, but now...

Bella looked at Alice who was thinking about something with her head down, and then at the girl in the painting.

"Why does the lady always think of her?" Bella suddenly felt a sense of discomfort in her heart. It was an emotion that Bella had never experienced in her life. It was a bit sour?

"Miss Alice, it's such an honor to see this...this pencil drawing you drew again." Anna had an almost fanatical love for the art of painting, which prevented her from noticing Alice's low mood.

"It's also an honor for me to let Miss Anna teach me oil painting for free." Alice raised her head and smiled at Anna.

Yes, after Anna saw the pencil drawings drawn by Alice for the first time, she proposed to Alice to teach Alice oil painting for free, but as a condition for free, Alice taught her this kind of painting which she had never seen before. Pencil drawing, this realistic style pencil sketch.

In fact, Anna was not qualified to negotiate terms with a nobleman at all, but fortunately she met Alice, who agreed to her terms.

"Okay, Miss Alice, I just learned a lot. Now it's time for you to learn oil painting."

Seeing Alice painting under Anna's guidance, Bella put away Alice's pencils and some tools.

After finishing cleaning up, Bella looked at the painting Alice had just drawn.

In Bella's view, this Doris seemed too disrespectful. As the daughter of Duke Eberron, the lord of Noah's Plain, Alice was the princess of Noah's Plain. A princess dressed up as a commoner for you and played with you every day, but you refused to interact with her because you felt cheated after learning Alice's identity. Alice also became depressed because of this. Bella felt that Doris was very hateful. She thought that Doris made the happy Alice leave her.

Although Bella always has a cold face in front of Alice, Bella actually cares about Alice. She likes Alice very much, likes her smile, her cuteness, her naughtiness, her intelligence, her...kiss.

Thinking of this, Bella blushed. What does it look like when a blush appears on a face that is always cold? The scene was like a flower blooming on a piece of ten thousand-year-old ice, which made people feel so beautiful and incredible.

But unfortunately, Alice didn't see the blush on Bella's face.

"I will also make the lady happy again! And about Doris, I will make the lady forget her!" Bella thought secretly in her heart.
