Princess Alice's Diary

Chapter 2 Doris Pastry House

When Alice learned that there was no magic or fighting spirit in this world, she would think strangely: "Don't you usually have magic when you travel to this kind of world? Why not!? I was planning to become a noble at the beginning. It’s the magician’s!”

But ideals are often very different from reality. Alice did not become a magician, but became the first magician in the world...

"Wow! It's great! It's amazing! Sister Diana, how did you do it?" (Note: Some people may not understand Western names. Let me tell you here that Westerners can have many names. Here is Diane. Anna is another name for Alice)

This is a small backyard of a civilian family. In the messy yard, seven or eight children sit in a circle, looking excitedly at Alice who is standing in the middle of the yard performing magic. renew

"Thank you~ Thank you for everyone's applause." Alice, who was dressed in slightly expensive civilian clothes, bowed slightly to the children, and then laughed happily.

In terms of mental age, Alice is already in her thirties, but she doesn't know why Alice particularly likes to play with these teenagers in the civilian area. Although Alice has her own aristocratic friends, Alice prefers these friends in the common areas. Maybe it's because they were just ordinary civilians like Alice's previous life.

"Okay~ I have fulfilled my promise and performed one more show today, so your sister Doris belongs to me today." Alice put away the magic props and said to a cute girl in the yard. , presumably this lovely girl is the Doris in Alice’s mouth.

Doris has short dark brown hair and brown eyes that are the same color as her hair. Doris is a quiet girl. Alice thinks Doris’s smile is the most charming and has the warmth of a girl next door. Alice’s favorite thing is to let Doris sit there quietly and draw her portrait. Alice Si felt that there was a different kind of emotion.

The recognition of Alice and Doris is very cliché, but also very thrilling.

There is a river in the Noah Plains called the Emerald River. Although the name sounds nice, Alice thinks it is very vulgar... The people in the Noah Plains mainly rely on this Emerald River for their daily water supply. The local people love and respect this river very much. The older generation even calls this river the river of life.

The most beautiful period of the Emerald River is summer, not only because it is a good choice to swim in the Emerald River in the hot summer, but also in the summer, the water of the Emerald River will show an emerald green color that is not seen in other seasons. People in the Noah Plains believe that the reason why the Emerald River becomes so beautiful every summer is because the gods in the sky also think that the Emerald River is a good place to escape the heat in the summer, so there is a legend that beautiful goddesses can be seen in the Emerald River in the summer. Specifically What kind of god, people in Noah's Plain have different opinions. But Alice knows why the water of the Emerald River turns as green as emerald in the summer. Alice's original words are this: "There are no factories in this world that discharge sewage into the water. There are aquatic plants and algae at the bottom of the river. It grows like crazy in the summer, and of course the river is green when you look at it from the river bank..." Of course, there was no one next to Alice when she said this. She was just complaining after hearing about the legend of the Emerald River, or maybe she was showing off. I just want to share the knowledge of someone who I don’t know much about but is ahead of the world.

Although Alice sneered at those legends, this did not prevent her from going to the Emerald River to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Alice was ten years old that year. After a lot of hard work, Eberron finally agreed that his ten-year-old daughter should go to the Emerald River to play. Of course, there were many guards from the castle behind him.

It was a cool summer morning. Why did Alice choose to come to the Emerald River in the morning? Because there would be many men swimming or even naked swimming in the Emerald River in the afternoon, Alice was not interested in watching a group of naked men showing off their unattractive figures in the river.

Alice, dressed in civilian clothes, sat on the grass and looked at the green emerald lake in front of her. Although there were no flowers nearby, the faint fragrance of grass washed her heart. The leaves rustled with the cool and warm summer wind, and the children in the distance were playing by the river. Alice smiled happily looking at the innocent look that day.

"Doris! Grab the branch." A girl fell into the water. She didn't seem to be able to swim. Most of her friends looked to be only five or six years old and probably couldn't swim either. At this time, a boy was holding a branch and reaching out to the struggling girl in the water, while the other children ran away and called for help.

"Help, someone fell into the water! Help!"

"Plop!" Just as the boy continued to stretch out the branches nervously, a man jumped into the water.

Alice didn't know why she jumped into the water to save people without hesitation. You must know that he was definitely not a bad person in his previous life. Maybe it's because the societies of the two worlds are different. Alice feels that the current world is very warm and everything is so beautiful...

Alice could swim, but after all, she was only ten years old at the time. If she wanted to save a person of similar weight and body shape to herself in the water, and this person was already in a state of panic, it would be almost impossible to successfully rescue him.

After a few twists and turns, Alice and the girl who fell into the water both sank to the bottom of the river...

"Plop! Plop! Plop!" Several more people jumped into the water. Of course, these people were the guards sent by the Duke to protect Alice. The well-trained guards quickly rescued the two little guys who fell into the water.

When they got ashore, Alice didn't have much to worry about, she just drank a few sips of water. But the girl who fell into the water earlier was already pale and breathless...

"Miss, please go back now to the Duke's side..." a guard covered in water said, as if he was the leader of the group of guards.

"No!" Alice interrupted the guard, quickly walked to the girl's side and started artificial respiration.

Of course, people around her didn't understand why Alice treated a "corpse" like this.

"Miss...she has..." The guard was about to reach out to pull Alice.

"Get out of the way!" Alice did not look back, nor did she stop the movements in her hands. She continued to perform artificial respiration and shouted coldly.

Some of the children who came to play with the girl at the riverside had already run away, while others began to cry softly.

"Ahem..." Due to Alice's efforts, the girl who fell into the water coughed violently, and water kept spilling from her mouth.

Alice looked at the girl who had woken up and smiled happily. Although Alice was like a drowned rat at this moment, people present felt that Alice's smile at this moment was the most beautiful.

The eyes of the girl who fell into the water were dull at first, and then there was a little sparkle in her eyes.

"Are you...an angel?"

Alice looked at the dumb girl and smiled. "May I have your name?"

"Doris...Doris Miller."

Alice looked at Doris's small lips and suddenly remembered that she was doing artificial respiration just now... But they were so soft...

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

"Diana? What are you thinking about?" There were only Alice and Doris in the yard at this time.

"I was wondering...when will I take you to my house to play." Alice did not tell Doris that she was the daughter of a duke, but only told Doris that she was a child of a businessman.

"Your home? Me? Is that okay?" Doris looked at Alice in surprise.

Doris was surprised because of her status. Although a businessman was also a commoner, she was a world away from Doris now. She did not expect that Alice would invite her to her home, even though she knew that Alice She wouldn't mind, but she was not a fool. She felt that Alice's family might not welcome her.

"Yeah! Next time I make arrangements and I'll take you to my house to play~"

"It seems like it's time to tell her my identity. Friends should be honest with each other... But will Doris still play with me after knowing that I am a noble? In this era, there is an insurmountable barrier between nobles and commoners. The gap."

Alice thought worriedly.

"Don't talk about it yet, I will take you to a place today." Alice said and pulled Doris and ran.

"slower……"

Noah's City, the largest city in the southern part of the empire, was a battleground for military strategists during times of war due to its geographical advantages. This city that had endured wars for nearly a hundred years finally calmed down after the Norman dynasty unified the continent more than 300 years ago. Come down. Now the city of Noah is prosperous, showing a sense of vitality. People were coming and going in the main streets of the city, and there were two small figures moving among the crowd. Of course, these two people are Alice and Doris. They seem to be very happy, but the guards behind them who are responsible for secretly protecting Alice are miserable...

"Dear Doris, please look~" Alice pulled Doris to the door of a*****e and pointed at the store's signboard.

"Doris pastry house??" Doris said one word at a time, and then looked at Alice with her eyes wide open in disbelief, and Alice had a smile on her face.

"This... this...??" Doris, who had always remained gentle and quiet, was now speaking incoherently.

"Doris, haven't you always wanted to have a pastry shop? I asked my father to open a 'Doris Pastry House' here for you~" Alice said while gently hugging the stunned girl. Doris.

"No... no... this, this is too expensive, this is no longer a gift! Please take it back! Diana!" Doris stuttered a little when she first spoke, but then she immediately became serious.

"Doris, listen to me." Alice took Doris's hand. "I have wanted to open a pastry shop for a long time, but I was too young and could not convince my family to let me open a pastry shop. Later I heard that your wish was to open a pastry shop and make delicious pastries for everyone. Taste, plus your mother and the pastries you make are really delicious, so I convinced my father to open this pastry shop and let your mother manage it. With your mother managing it, my father could I'll rest assured. My dear, this is not really for you, it's just for your mother to work here with you. Your mother is too tired and hard to work in the mill, and you still go to help from time to time. Doris, You are growing up now, and working too hard will leave you with the root causes of disease in the future."

"This...but..." Doris felt a little relieved after hearing what Alice said.

"No but! Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your mother. Your father died early, and your mother worked in the mill from morning to night every day for you and your brother. Don't you think Is your mother working too hard? Or do you think the name of this store makes you feel awkward?" Alice said to Doris in a serious voice.

At this time, Doris thought of her hard-working mother, her mother who got up early and stayed late at night, and her mother who was much older than women of the same age. Doris cried: "Diana... thank you... thank you..."

"Haha~ have you decided?"

"Yeah" Doris wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Don't worry about anything else. Let's go in and have something to eat first. Dad also hired a very good pastry chef. You and your mother can communicate with him when you come here to work in the future~"

"Thank you...thank you very much..."

"Stop saying thank you! Humph! When you make money, you're going to treat me to a big dinner!"

"Puch~"

Doris smiled beautifully.
