Chapter 162 Sisterhood
Chapter 162 Sisterhood
Cecilia and her bestie had been pursuing the same young viscount.
The viscount had just inherited the title of his father who died in an accident, but he was not yet married.
For aristocratic children like Cecilia who have no right of inheritance, becoming a Viscountess is undoubtedly the best destination.
However, when the two of them were using all means and scheming against each other to win the Viscount's heart, they were beaten to the punch by the daughter of a wealthy merchant.
The woman successfully attracted the Viscount and became engaged to him.
This result put Cecilia and her best friend in an embarrassing situation and made them the laughing stock of the social circle.
Cecilia found the ridicule and sarcasm from women of her own age unbearable.
Therefore, she decided to take this opportunity to leave the capital and temporarily avoid those embarrassing gazes.
It's a pity that the earl has no suitable unmarried children, otherwise, he would have been able to show his talents when he returned to his hometown this time. It would be great if he could find a noble partner with a title!
She could go back and show off to her classmates, letting them know her current status and glory.
Unlike what commoners like Elvira see on the surface, the life of the nobles is not all about feasting and revelry, in fact there is a lot of helplessness and pressure.
Especially for those children who cannot inherit the title, it is harder than climbing to the sky to make a name for themselves. Some even choose to leave home and make their own way.
Women faced even greater challenges. If they could not find a suitable marriage partner, their final fate might be to go to a monastery, or to marry a merchant or a clerk.
This result was not what Cecilia expected. She longed for a higher status and a better future.
To get from my current place to my hometown, I need to cross three towns and pass through six or seven villages, which will take at least half a month.
If Elvira wasn't in a hurry to go home, Cecilia would be willing to slowly appreciate the scenery along the way, travel around, and experience the local customs and cultures.
But now time is running out, so we can only hurry on our way and cannot fully enjoy the journey.
The journey is long and it is inevitable to feel bored and tedious, just like Cecilia.
So she began to direct the two maids around her, asking them to tell her stories, sing songs, and even cut fruit for her.
Not only that, Cecilia is also very particular about the presentation of fruits. They must be cut and placed on a plate, and then fed to her mouth with a toothpick.
Of course, eating fruit alone is definitely not enough, it would be perfect only if it is paired with a glass of mellow red wine.
However, this is not the end.
After sitting in the car for a while, Cecilia started complaining again, saying that she was very tired and needed someone to massage her legs.
Faced with such requests, the maid Lily was accustomed to it. After all, she had been taking care of this noble lady since she was a child and had long been accustomed to her various picky and difficult to serve.
But for Elvira, the situation is a little different.
She had just received help from Cecilia and was filled with gratitude.
Therefore, she also tried her best to play the role of a qualified maid and meet Cecilia's needs as much as possible.
Seeing that Elvira was so obedient, Cecilia took the opportunity to ask her to help her massage her legs.
Although Elvira was somewhat reluctant, she still did it.
Seeing this, Cecilia became more and more proud, and lay directly on Elvira's legs, enjoying her service.
In this way, the two maids were busy, and Cecilia enjoyed their service with peace of mind, and even had a few snacks from time to time.
Fortunately, the interior of the carriage is spacious enough to accommodate the three girls.
Deep in the forest, the goblin's lair.
Julie once again "linked" with her sister and entered that mysterious and wonderful "spiritual space" together.
In this unique space, the two sisters hugged each other tightly, as if time had stopped and they were the only ones left in the world.
As usual, they confided their secrets and feelings to each other.
Julie couldn't wait to tell Jyoti what she saw and heard in the outside world, as if she was sharing a gripping story.
Julie described their adventures vividly: Alan and Carola bravely hunted a huge monster, which was amazing; what was even more incredible was that they successfully tamed the poisonous bird, which was simply a miracle!
She also recalled the passionate female scholar's inspiring speech, her vision of a better future, and her words full of hope.
She mentioned the tempting prospect of huge wealth, and the moving vows she sang made people's hearts surge.
Julie expressed her admiration for Carola and Elodie without reservation.
Corolla is a powerful warrior who can challenge and defeat ferocious monsters, while Ilodi is an excellent scholar with extensive knowledge.
These two people are the role models that Julie and Jodi have always dreamed of becoming, and the goals they are constantly striving to achieve.
Jyoti listened quietly to her sister's story and was deeply moved.
She felt Julie's excitement and excitement, as if she was also in that world full of adventure and miracles.
When they set out from the village, they had expectations and desires for the future in their hearts, hoping to achieve something and live a better life.
Unfortunately, like most young people who come out to make a living, the initial enthusiasm and pride are slowly worn away by the boring life day after day.
The two sisters used to work as receptionists for the Adventurer's Guild and had met all kinds of people, from powerful Ruby Hunters to wealthy merchants. They were the focus of everyone's attention, as hot and bright as stars, and very desirable.
However, these people and the sisters seemed to be in two different worlds, far away from each other.
But Carola and Elodie are different from others. For the two sisters, they are equally dazzling and brilliant, but they do not appear scorching.
They are right beside us, within reach, and are not only close companions, but can also give us a warm hug at any time.
In Julie's description, this place is no longer a terrifying monster's lair, but a paradise full of hope and longing.
Jyoti could fully understand her sister's feelings at the moment, because she herself felt equally excited.
Julie's face was filled with happiness and excitement, and she began to talk incessantly about the female hunter named Carola whom she met.
She recalled the time she and Carola worked on monster materials together, when they were always full of energy and laughter;
Thinking of Carola's firm and confident look when she promised Julie that she would never let anyone hurt them;
And there was the tenderness and consideration when Corolla held her tightly in his arms, giving her warmth and comfort.
Every detail and every word made Julie feel extremely happy.
