Chapter 239: Volume 4, - 25, Betrayal (5)_2
Within the Gazalin Nobles Circle, Susan and Bonnie are like the two most dazzling pearls. Wherever they go, their radiance can overshadow other women. This has caused Susan and Bonnie, two beauties of completely different types—one warm, the other cold—to share one common trait: they have enough confidence to support their pride.
Bonnie’s pride is a cold one that keeps people at a distance. In her eyes, apart from Reinhardt, there is no one worthy enough to make her look twice.
But Susan is different. This warm and cheerful Imperial Princess can become friends with anyone. However, until she discovers qualities in you that are worthy of respect and affection, she will not show her true self. Her innate confidence makes most people feel inferior. It is a kind of elegant yet approachable pride that makes people automatically keep their distance.
Ann Lei, who is not from the Gazalin Nobles Circle, became Susan’s best friend.
The reason is not just Ann Lei’s dance, which fascinates Susan, who also loves dancing. More importantly, as an Imperial Princess, Susan, who is overly exceptional, has few true friends. The truly exceptional people are lonely, and women are no exception. Bonnie at least has Reinhardt to accompany her, while the outwardly cheerful Susan often feels lonely. This loneliness is easily erased by Ann Lei, thanks to her dancing and natural charm. In Susan’s eyes, only girls like Ann Lei are real women. Her gentle and approachable nature is everywhere, like a hot spring, making everyone around her feel comfortable and warm.
"I heard that guy can dance really well!" Susan said mischievously, persistently following Ann Lei, chattering away: "But he is a Fatty! I just can’t imagine what it would be like for this Fatty, who fell in love with Miss Ann at first sight, to dance!"
Ann Lei took a towel and wiped the sweat from her forehead, her face flushed as she replied irritably: "Susan, you’re really annoying."
Susan looked at herself and Ann Lei in the mirror and giggled: "Did I hit the nail on the head, so now you’re angry out of shame?" She picked up the cup on the floor and drank water, her eyes still darting around.
Ann Lei snatched the cup from Susan’s hand and laughed: "Yes, I’m angry out of shame! You’re not allowed to drink my water!"
