Chapter 21: Familiarity?
The festival started in the afternoon, so Aurora and Adela dressed themselves to go out.
Since neither of them wanted to reveal their identity, the dress they picked was rather plain. Brown and cream colored dress that looked not much different from most commoner dress.
In addition, neither was wearing any jewelries.
"Miss, you look very different," Les commented after she had finished helping Aurora to dress up.
She felt that her Miss was still beautiful even if she was dressing in such a plain and simple dress. The dress for commoners has always been very simple as they couldn't spend so much money for fabric and the likes.
"It's more suitable for me to be this way," Aurora replied with a faint smile. "Now that I'm going out, isn't it natural for my appearance to be different?"
Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Aurora took a deep breath.
Even if it was for a short period of time, she would be able to relax when she was enjoying the festival. It was rare for her parents to allow her to get out of the mansion and didn't make her study all day long.
"Yes! Miss is still very beautiful!" Les said energetically.
Aurora chuckled and nodded. "In that case, let's go."
"Yes, Miss!"
This kind of atmosphere was very different from the strict and rigid atmosphere in the Duke White's Mansion, but it was also very comforting.
Adela, who had climbed down first, pulled her maid to the nearest stall.
"Mrs, I would like to buy two of these. How much is the cost?" Adela asked excitedly as she looked at the two fried dough sticks in front of her. Her appearance looked as if she had never enjoyed the exquisite food in the Duke White's Mansion.
Though, thinking of Adela's usual diet, it was only normal for her to be greedy for these foods.
The doctors warned her not to eat messy food because her health was not very good. If she were to eat too many oily food or some other types of food, it wouldn't do her good.
"Miss, you can't eat these." The maid was frightened when she saw Adela wanted to buy the street food.
She was warned by Duchess Isabella not to let Adela eat random food on the street in case it would not be good for Adela's health.
"But they look so good! Anyway, it'll be fine," Adela complained.
Aurora, who came forward to follow her sister, looked at the stall. Her eyes flashed strangely when she saw Adela took out money with ease and paid for the food with great familiarity.
Her action seemed as if she had done this repeatedly in the past.
But if Aurora was not wrong, this was the first time Adela came out of the mansion.
Also... her language was really different from the language they had been taught in the mansion. No matter how sick Adela was, she would still be taught proper etiquette so as not to lose the face of Duke White Mansion.
