Prisoner of Mystery Sequence

Agnes was a little dazed, she vaguely felt that the person in the mirror was not herself, but a perfect doll with the same name and face as her, but without the same soul.

She wasn't going to be manipulated like this, and she wasn't going to some pointless ball in such a cumbersome dress.

She knew very well that she was not so well-behaved.

"Hetty, tell me, who is that in the mirror?"

Hetty froze for a moment, glanced at the mirror, and laughed.

"Miss, how can you praise yourself like that." Hetty couldn't hold back the smile at the corner of her mouth at all, and said with a little smile: "No matter how perfect you think it is, we have to wait for us to sort it out."

"I haven't." Agnes said seriously.

"Yes, Miss is just asking me who is such a beautiful girl in the mirror." Hetty said with a smile.

Agnes sighed depressingly, waiting quietly for the maid to sort out all the details on her body.

Ever since she came back from the underground of the church, the progress of her potion digestion has almost stagnated.The most fundamental reason is that she always can't make up her mind to play in front of her family and friends, just like today.

She longs for the warmth from her family and friends, but is also afraid of the loathing and fearful gazes they might have if she begins to act.

After all, people are still social animals. Even if she doesn't care about her own reputation, she has not reached the state of "not happy with things, not sad with herself". It is not that she really doesn't care about other people's words at all.Even sometimes, she still cares about other people's words, especially when these words come from people close to her.

Unlike when they were in the underground of the church, Lord Rossi and the others knew that they were acting, even if the priest was frightened by him, they would explain it to him.I can let go of my hands and feet to act, and I don't need to worry about any follow-up problems.

And here, I can't tell them what I'm doing, and acting will also cause many follow-up problems.After all, what she needs to play now is "crazy" and "werewolf", neither of which will bring her any good reputation.And as the daughter of Earl Pagani, her bad reputation will undoubtedly have an impact on her father.

Although she asked her father relevant questions that day, his father also gave her the answer "We are not little nobles".According to her understanding of her father, what her father meant was that she didn't need to care about other people's opinions, even if something went wrong, he would not give up on Agnes.

In fact, it is true, after all, the news that she was seriously ill had spread in the social circle of Feneport City a long time ago. In the previous March, when her mother held a music salon, she heard some ladies saying, "She is so pitiful." "Similar words.

Count Pagani's family is indeed not a small noble, and even the mainstay of the new noble, and there is no worry of bankruptcy.Since my grandfather chose to break up with his great-grandfather at the beginning, he only had his father as an only son, and his population was not considered prosperous.

Fathers really don’t need to be like little nobles who choose to send their children to a monastery to reduce their burden when they are seriously ill or crazy, and even call it “to serve God”. For them, these children’s last The value is to fight for a good name for the family.

But Agnes has never been used to letting herself be a drag on others, especially if she does it on purpose.

She wants to leave the house for a while until the play is done.But first of all, she embarked on the "prisoner" sequence, a person who would lose control if she didn't pay attention; secondly, she herself is likely to be related to some of these hidden existences; The characteristics of the "werewolf", although she is not out of control at present, there is no doubt that the curse of the "werewolf" has been strengthened to a certain extent when she has not fully digested the "madman".

It is impossible for the church to allow a person like a bomb that could explode at any time to leave Feneport City.

If she leaves forcibly, the church will probably think that she shows signs of losing control, and she will be wanted by the church.

She wanted to leave because of acting, not because she was going to give up her identity completely, from now on, she would remain anonymous and have nothing to do with her family and friends.

"Okay, perfect." Hetty looked at Agnes's whole body, clapped her hands and said.

"I'll tell the Countess." Betty next to her said.

According to etiquette manuals, young unmarried women must be accompanied by an older female companion before entering social situations.

Agnes became Extraordinary earlier this year, and her "disease" no longer affects her daily life.Since February this year, she has only started to participate in dances and dinners, but she must be accompanied by an older female companion and introduce her identity, and her mother is undoubtedly the best female companion candidate. .

She has never liked to participate in social activities, but since her father asked, she will follow his father's wishes and go to this ball to announce her return.At the same time, she also wanted to test whether some obscure madness would have the same effect.

If it was feasible, she might not need to leave Feneport City.

......

Agnes had just danced with her mother, which was meant to imply that neither of them had a partner, and that perhaps her mother had the idea of ​​bringing her back to dancing.

Agnes was actually a little nervous at the time, after all, she hadn't danced for a long time, and she was worried that she would step on her mother or not be able to keep up with her mother's pace.But fortunately, after she accommodated the characteristics of "madman" and "werewolf", the effect of "enhanced body and enhanced perception" has been strengthened, and she perfectly completed her first dance today.

Agnes reached out and gently picked up the juice on the table and took a sip. Looking at the people on the dance floor, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up.The mother had been invited by someone she knew before, and now she was alone in the corner here.

Maybe other people would feel embarrassed or anxious in such a situation, but Agnes didn't really care about these things, so she was naturally happy to rest here, and even watch other people's dances.

Agnes saw a young gentleman in a brown coat, black patent leather trousers, and boots walking towards her. Agnes stared at her for a while, then smiled at the corner of her mouth, and looked at him .

The other party's short blond hair was well-groomed, with an elegant and perfect smile on his face.He walked up to Agnes, bent and bowed, and Agnes found that the arc of his bend was almost a perfect 15°.

"Miss, I would like to ask you to dance, may I?"

Agnes's smile became more obvious, she nodded, stood up, and said, "Of course, Mr. Durant."
