Please behave My Lord

Chapter 232: A torn skirt?

Mariana and Ana, who were talking, stopped and looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of them, not understanding what Diana was doing here. She should have known that no one here treated her well.

With a deep glow, Diana looked at the two people in front of her. Her eyes seemed to be filled with dark light, yet her face still had a proper smile.

As soon as his eyes turned, he noticed the robe Mariana was wearing, and his eyes flickered slightly as a hint of resentment crossed his gaze.

-Mariana, I see that this dress you are wearing is very nice and I like it very much, can you give it to me?

With a dazed face, Mariana looked at Diana, and then her eyes fell again on the dress she wore over her body, and a slight peculiarity passed through her eyes.

It turned out that Diana was here for the dress.

At that moment, Ana, who was standing next to her, was not used to seeing Diana's haughty posture, so she stood up and approached Diana, saying indifferently,

-Why do we have to give you this dress if you say you want it? -What? You just deliberately put on the same dress, and now you're already looking directly at her dress, aren't you?

The words came loudly to Diana's soft ears, causing the smile on her face to disappear for a moment. With indescribable meaning, looking at the furious Anne in front of her, her eyes sank cold. Then, turning her head, she secretly glanced at the various gazes around her that were drawn to her. Her eyes sparkled for a moment and she opened her mouth to say,

-Ana, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant.

After that, Diana averted her gaze, walked past Ana and went to Mariana's side.

The smile at the corner of his mouth was still bright, like a mask that could not be removed, yet a strange look flooded his eyes.

-Mariana, this dress you're wearing is the version I've been looking for for a long time, I really like it, but if you don't want to give it to me, I can understand. So, how about we make a bet? If I win, you will sell me this dress at the original price, and if I lose, I will accept any request you make.

Her eyes trembled, Mariana really didn't expect Diana to have such a plan.

Moreover, her words did not drop in volume, but rose a little, and the surrounding crowd that had gathered to see the two of them together could not help but listen attentively.

In a moment, loud chatter echoed through the banquet.

-That dress of Mariana's is really beautiful, is it her work? And aren't she and Diana friends? Why didn't she give it to you?

-Are you stupid? You really think the two of them are friends, don't you? Didn't you see them in the same clothes just now?

-I don't know what you two are thinking, are you fighting over a dress in public? Although this dress looks great, I think if it was worn on Diana's body, it would have accentuated the beauty of this dress even

more.

***

Hearing these words, a slight anger enveloped Ana. She turned around and approached Diana again, blocking Mariana behind her, like a hen protecting her chicks.

-Diana! What do you mean by that? Don't bully people too much! This dress belongs to Mari, she has the right to dispose of this dress, not you! Besides, you can't get everything you want!

With a smile on her face, Diana looked at the angry woman in front of her, a hint of mockery shining in her eyes.

-Ana, since it's Mariana's dress, naturally you have the right to dispose of it, so you'd better mind your own business.

At that moment, two people suddenly approached from behind Diana, obviously the people who had just had a good conversation with her, and at that moment, they smiled ingratiatingly towards Diana, then looked angrily at Mariana with a condescending aura.

-Young lady, Miss Diana is willing to buy this ball gown already worn by you at the original price. Don't let her good intentions pass you by, as I see it, this dress doesn't seem to have anything special, does it? When the man finished, another man next to him followed.

-Yes, if you want to embarrass others, then why not accept Miss Diana's bet? Then just follow the final result! Or are you afraid to bet? Just because of this torn dress on your body?

Hearing these words, Mariana's gaze darkened. Anger surged from her heart and her face turned cold.

She could tolerate Diana insulting her personally, but she could not tolerate her friend's friendship being trampled on.

He was about to say something, but to his surprise, a cold, hard word came out abruptly from behind the crowd, making the two men who had originally spoken instantly pale. -Torn dress?

The icy aura covered her skin little by little, Diana just felt some coldness coming behind her and couldn't help but be annoyed. She glared fiercely at the two men beside her, then turned, and saw a long, familiar figure. It was Leopold.

Her face instantly changed to a softer one, and Diana took two steps back and came to Leopold's side, reaching out to embrace his arm affectionately, tilting her head up and smiling warmly. -Leo, why did you come?

With her heart trembling, Mariana looked at the man dumbfounded. She pursed her lips but said nothing, reached out and grabbed her skirt tightly.

-What were you talking about just now? -Is it that lively?

The simple words fell on her ears, but they made Diana's body shudder. She looked silently into the man's cold eyes, which were dark and devoid of any light.

-Nothing, it's just a joke with Mariana, but someone seems to take it seriously.

These words were full of deep meaning.

This "someone" could be Mariana, or the two men who supported her, or both.

-Is that so?

The cold words came out, falling heavily on the ears of all the people. They felt coldness in all their bodies and hurriedly lowered their heads, but no one dared to worry about the progress of this matter. The two men who had helped Diana shuddered and trembled, fearing that Leopold's next words were meant to chastise them.

They had originally wanted to please Diana and therefore Leopold, but they did not expect this to happen, which made everyone panic, so they had to do everything possible to reduce their sense of existence. Even Diana, who was standing next to Leopoldo, looked a little uneasy, and the smile on her lips became forced.
