Chapter 9 Annoying people (2)

Sitting in the carriage, Alice silently looked out. The path she went back and forth a hundred times was still boring. But now, with the mentality of a returnee, Alice felt compelled to cherish every branch and bush. Although she hated to be near her enemies in her previous life, it wouldn't be a bad idea if she took this opportunity to approach and destroy all their plans step by step.

The girl in the blue dress from beginning to end stared at Alice. Her pale blue eyes glided from head to toe in silent assessment. When Alice turned her head to meet her obvious gaze, Katherine shyly averted her gaze, pretending to look the other way.

"What is your relationship with the Earl Sirent Weaver?"

Katherine sweated. Alice's coldness and frankness worried her.

"I... am a distant relative of the Earl. Due to difficulties, he took me to his mansion for a while."

His mansion?

"Ha ha ha..."

Alice laughed twice derisively. How stupid? What made her so confident?

"If it's just a distant relative in trouble, why didn't he introduce you and your mother to everyone? What's the point of being sneaky like that?"

Katherine clutched her skirt.

"Miss Alice... Do you even know that my mother is there? Did the servants in the mansion tell you?"

"What's the problem? This is the mansion of House Rothnor. I'm the future owner of this place, wouldn't it be fine to want to know what's going on in the mansion?"

Katherine hastily denied:

"Certainly not. That's not what I mean... It's just that we were in trouble, so we came to see the Earl. We are worried that Lady Irene would be upset and would not allow us to stay, so we have not announced it for the time being. When the time is right, I will definitely greet you solemnly."

Alice had a cold expression, seeing through all the meanings of her hidden words.

Waited until you guys get everything and say hello? Saw her as a joke?

"Lady Irene is not a narrow-minded person, nor is she easily influenced by trivial things. If you're worried, I'd better tell my mother, I'll definitely treat you two as honored guests."

Katherine looked even more panicked. Alice Rothnor, according to her mother, was arrogant, naive, and easily deceived. Why did every word she'd said made her feel like she'd already known it all?

"I didn't expect my father, the Earl Sirent Weaver, treat his relatives like that. If my mother finds out, she will definitely help you two get justice."

"What? The Earl is not such a person! I trust him completely!"

Alice narrowed her eyes at the agitated person in front of her who had an expression like she wanted to cry. It was so eyesore.

'The more you want to hide it, the more I want to tear it apart.'

"Seriously? Yet his distinguished guest was allowed to follow me like a maid. Don't you feel you're at a disadvantage?"

"What the servant? He just told me to come with you to give Prince Nelson a present. Absolutely not to serve you."

Alice enjoyed watching her prey slowly lose its temper.

'It's okay, there's still time, just play with her slowly.'

"Oh, really? Maybe I'd heard it wrong. What's the point of letting his guest serve another girl, right?"

Katherine heard this, her eyes watered, showing a pitiful expression that she couldn't cry. She had been told that Alice was usually unconcerned, overbearing and very sharp. But the first time she came into contact, she was unexpectedly infuriated by Alice, almost couldn't keep her composure and screamed, arguing about winning and losing.

If it weren't for her being carefully told to be patient, waiting for the plan to succeed later, Alice would certainly be nothing. There would even be a day when she made this Alice taste her insolence and her arrogance.

Katherine thought to herself:

'Today's goal is to successfully get Prince Nelson's attention. I have to take advantage of her carelessness and seize the opportunity'

After that, Alice didn't even pay attention to the person in the carriage, and decisively opened the window. Breathing the same air as that rag doll was suffocating and uncomfortable.

The carriage drove at a moderate speed on the rather rough road. While Alice calmly sat steady, Katherine was quite struggling and tired when she had to keep the big box from slipping or falling.

After a while, it finally stopped. In front of the gate, four or five people were waiting. The tall bodyguard quickly opened the carriage door, raised his hand to help Alice step down carefully. Lily also quickly came to the side, asking for care.

"Miss Alice, do you feel thirsty?"

"Okay, I'm fine."

A man dressed in black and wearing the royal star badge stepped forward, bowing respectfully:

"Miss Alice, have a good day. Are you tired from the long journey?"

Alice also bowed politely:

"Thank you for welcoming me personally like this, butler Jay."

"Prince Nelson was busy training horses, so he sent me out to greet you."

"Alice, my angel. You're finally here! I miss you so much!"

Behind them appeared a tall figure in a long white shirt and high-waisted blue and black trousers, a unique belt with a buckle bearing the image of a valuable golden sun. On the side of the man was also a rather long whip. Glossy black boots hugged the man's long legs, made him look alluring.

The man had a very handsome face, green romantic eyes and outstanding blonde hair. Just smiling, it was like there was a light behind him. This person was Alice's fiancé - the second Prince Nelson Spence.

"Alice Rothnor salutes the prince. Have a nice day."

Nelson lifted Alice's hand, kissed it lightly, and looked at Alice's completely different appearance than before. He praised:

"You look so special and beautiful today. Really refreshing and engaging, Alice."

"Thank you for your compliment. I want every appearance in front of you to be different and unexpected. I'm glad you liked this change."

"Of course I love it."

Nelson took Alice's soft hand and was about to lead her in when he heard a noise.

"Wait for me... Ah!"

Katherine struggled to hold the box to the car door, saw the bodyguard come to take the box. She breathed a sigh of relief as she waited for him to help her get out of the carriage. But he turned his back to go straight inside, causing Katherine to step on her feet in frustration, but unfortunately, she missed the step and fell face down.

Everyone heard the scream and turned to look. Katherine's pitiful appearance made the bodyguards standing nearby couldn't help but step forward to help her up.

Lily said disgruntledly:

"My god! I thought you fell with the gift box. Make everyone jump. If something goes wrong with the box, I won't know how to talk to the Earl."

Katherine was lifted up, rubbed her red and scratched wrist, and said sadly:

"I just wanted to catch up with your lady Alice, but she didn't intend to wait for me and dragged the bodyguard away. Anyway, I was personally asked by Earl Sirent Weaver to bring that special gift to Prince Nelson... Fortunately, I had carefully given it to someone else, so it was safe. Miss Alice, don't worry!"

A muffled nasal sound resounded. Katherine looked over at Prince Nelson and Alice, rubbing her eyes, deliberately exposing her small red wrist.

"Besides, since the carriage is too high, everyone is busy following your lady Alice. But I didn't want to bother anyone, so I went down by myself. Unfortunately, I missed my foot, but I didn't mean it."

Alice heard her self-reproaching words, but in five sentences, three of them were mentioned her name 'Alice's like this... Alice's like that...'

In her previous life, Katherine used her approach to Alice, pretending to be friendly and caring. But this time, it was different. It seemed that she also realized that Alice did not like her, so she was reluctant. If only she kept saying that it was because Alice hurt her that she fell down quickly, the script would also be really quick.
