Chapter 62:Ā White Pig Mask, Visiting
<hr>
Ā
The costume party was ending, so Nora and I left the venue together.
Since the day was getting dark, it was time for the younger ladies to go home.
Ricardo and Lucas still hadnāt finished talking yet, so they still remained.
Ā
[Even so, Iām surprised. Britney, you know the prince of the northern country?]
[Aa, he is Ricardoās friend. We got acquainted back at the school party.]
[Iām so envious. You also have good relationship with the crown prince.]
[Itās through Ryuze-oniisamaās connection, nothing to be concerned of.]
Ā
We left the hall and turned to the corridor that led to the exit, few people seemed to have left.
Besides the two of us, there were no diligent young ladies who would punctually go home.
Ā
[Britneyā¦ I wonder if city girls play until late at night. Even if there are so many that stay outside until late, I think their reputation would get worse.]
[Sorry, I donāt know much. There was no such thing written in the letters from Ricardo or the crown princeā¦]
Ā
There might be something in the city ladies that were unfathomable by countryside ladies.
Ā
(After all, I canāt really understand it from letters written by men. Iāve been told by Ryuze-oniisama to come and check the capital cityās fads, and we need to get information out of it.)
Ā
Thinking about the new train of thought, we were about to turn around the corner of the corridor when we heard a womanās scream and menās voices from the direction weāre heading to.
Ā
[Noraā¦ that voice just now, did you hear it?]
[Ee, and I feel like the voice is getting closer.]
Ā
When we peered over the corner, we saw three people in a quarrel.
Ā
[Stop being on your high horse! This cheeky little girl! Hick!]
[Release me! Iām the princess of this country!]
[What is this disgusting princess, a real princess should be more beautiful and ladylike! What a fake! Eeā¦ hick!]
Ā
Although these men seemed to be nobles, their positions didnāt seem high.
It seemed that some Barons who had risen up from commoner status were participating in the party, so they may be two of them.
And the princess theyāre calling a fake was the genuine princess Angela.
Anyone who regularly show their face in the castle or normal aristocrats should know the princessā faceā¦ they seemed to be unable to distinct it.
Ā
(It seems that theyāre drunk and unable to judge calmly.)
Ā
Unfortunately, there was no one else in the vicinity, just us and Angela.
Although we were a little away from each other, with them approaching at their speed, we would encounter each other soon.
Ā
[What to do, Britney?]
[ā¦U-n.]
Ā
In this way, Angela may be harmed.
Even if one called for help, the atmosphere of the event made it difficult for one to come over.
However, even if I confidently stopped them, itās scary to meet Angela. She might have held a grudge from 2 years ago.
Ā
(On the other handā¦)
Ā
After rummaging, I took out a hard and flat object from my purse. Itās the mask of the white pig used in the costume party.
Each person could take the masks designed by the crown prince home.
I couldnāt bear to throw away the crown princeās work, and I thought of placing it in my room, so I stored it in my purse.
Ā
[Nora, can you go get someone? Iāll earn some time.]
[I understand, Iāll get someone as fast as I can!]
Ā
I watched Nora who ran away to the direction we came from, I then wore the white pig mask.
Ā
(In this case, this should hide my identity.)
Ā
Participants wouldnāt remember other peopleās masks other than their acquaintances. Angela didnāt know that I had lost weight.
I took a deep breath and proceeded from the corner towards the 3 people.
