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!"

They walked out and saw Adela was also already prepared. Her choice for clothes were also similar to Aurora.

"Sister! Let's go and take a look at the festival!"

"Yes, yes."

The two of them came out using an ordinary carriage and stopped in one street before the two of them walked around. During this time, Adela looked very excited and was very impatient to come out.

When the carriage stopped, Adela nearly jumped out if not for her maids to help her to come down.

Even if they came out to the festival while dressing as ordinary people, there were still maids and knights in casual clothes following them. After all, their statuses were very high and it was impossible for the duke to let them out without any guards.

Aurora looked up and saw the bustling street in front of her.

There were many people laughing with each other, buying some food, talking with each other, and laughed.

The play was held in the central square and would be repeated every three hours, allowing everyone to thoroughly enjoy the play. Even though the story was similar, the people who played the drama would be different from morning to night.

This way, it would give chances for many people to play the drama and let the viewers enjoy the different variations.

It was very lively.

Seeing this, Aurora smiled faintly.

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.
