Chapter 60 Art
Annie's teeth rubbed, and it was a crunch...
Vared gently patted Anne's back of her hand and signaled her to be calm. Then he nodded to the girl politely. Then he walked into the castle gate.
Seeing Valed walking into the castle, he couldn't see it anymore. The girl on the balcony then withdrew her gaze. She subconsciously touched her face and felt a little hot.
"You can feel at ease now, right?" Mrs. Windsor said to her with a gentle smile beside the girl.
"Well... he, he is very... Auntie, the best person I have ever met." The girl nodded and said this. At the same time, the flushing on her face could not be hidden, and shyness and joy were mixed together.
After entering the castle, newly hired servants greeted him along the way. Vared didn't care about them, but just took Anne's hand and walked towards the second floor. He wanted to know who the girl was just now.
"Who is that girl?!" And beside Vared, Anne also asked in a complaining voice. Vared shook his head and replied:
"I don't know either."
"It's not the woman sent by Nirakochi or Ramiya, right?" Annie was not a fool, so she suddenly thought of it. After saying this, she had a little acetic acid smell in her mouth.
Vared smiled suddenly.
"No matter who it is, you will know it after meeting it."
When the two of them reached the second floor, Madame Windsor's room door also opened. The lady led the girl out and stopped opposite Valed.
"This is Alice. My niece. You know each other." The lady said this. The girl called Alice saluted Valed, and then stretched out her left hand softly. Valed kissed her fingertips and stared at her eyes. Then she asked:
"Did you sing the song just now?"
"Yes." The girl nodded and agreed.
Vared nodded: "Sing well...very good."
Alice seemed very happy to hear Vared say this: "If you like, I can sing it to you every day... only to you."
It was indeed as Anne thought. Alice was the marriage partner sent by the Ramiya family. The current countess of the Ramiya family were also the daughter of Nephrata, the eldest sister of Madame Windsor, Valed's mother.
It was only the first time that Valed fell in love with this delicate girl who looked like a doll. It was not the kind of love between men and women. It was just the kind of love that saw cute things. At dinner, the girl's decent behavior, gentle words, and eyes that seemed to be able to speak also made Valed feel very satisfied.
In comparison, Anne is pretty. But because she is from a knight family, her every move is a little masculine and heroic. Although this is a good type... But compared with the two girls, Valed still thinks Alice is better.
After all, except for some special preferences, no one will like a man. Do you think?
Alice likes to dress up, dress in gorgeous clothes, behave gracefully, loves music and art, and tastes elegantly. She even cooks better than Anne. And compared with Anne's arrogant chivalrous spirit, Alice is more gentle in her life, and she is polite to both servants and nobles. No one can say the word "good". Many servants think that a noble lady like her is suitable for being the future countess.
So this time, it was Anne's turn to feel sad that she was bored with the new and old. In recent days, Valed seemed to have shifted her interest from fighting with chivalrous spirit and martial arts to music and art. When she had nothing to do, she danced with Alice and listened to operas and other things.
He even painted a few oil paintings with Alice as a model. Speaking of which, Valed's talent is really good. Although he didn't study for a long time, he did all these things well. Even if he was placed in Tyriel, which had a strong artistic atmosphere, those oil paintings can be regarded as fine works.
Valed originally wanted to give the paintings to Alice as a gift, but Alice asked Valed to keep them herself. After a few days, Valed came back from the academy and entered his room, and found the paintings hanging on the wall. When asked Maya, the little maid said that it was the arrangement of the lady. It seemed that although Madame Windsor said that she was not concerned about Valed's affairs, she still supported her niece.
Although Vared can have many wives, the status and rights of these wives will not be exactly the same. Whoever is more favored will have a better advantage.
And now it seems that this advantage is in Alice's hands.
That night, the sky was full of stars. After dinner, Vared accepted Alice's invitation again and went to her room to listen to her violin playing. But in the past few days, Alice seemed to have played all the repertoire she learned. Although it was not impossible to continue listening, Vared didn't think so. So in the next few days, Vared decided to end the romantic night life in this way.
He went to the underground alchemy laboratory and used the tools there to create the world, but the buttons were much less, so the piano with slightly impure tone and tone was improved into a common style in later generations. He also made an accordion that was not born in Shanghai, an accordion that was easy to learn and easy to use.
Although he had no time to fiddle with these things in his previous life, Vared had undergone very rigorous training in this life. Although he was not proficient in various musical instruments, he still had the word "proficiency".
So, this time, it was Valed's turn to invite Alice to come and listen to the music. This was the first time, so Alice seemed very happy. However, her strict etiquette and upbringing made her hide these joys, with only a calm smile.
"So, cousin Valed, what song do you want me to listen to?"
Alice sat upright in Valed's small living room and asked this. She had seen a piano that looked slightly bigger than usual, and something that looked like a bellows that she had never seen before.
Alice was a little curious, of course, just a little bit.
"It won't disappoint you." Vared said this, lifting the accordion on the ground and putting it on his knees to start playing. The results of the previous training sessions were shown this time. As he pulled the accordion with one hand and pressed the buttons with the other, the music flowed slowly.
