Vienna had a childhood friend with whom she shared all her secrets and experiences, but after one incident, she went to live abroad.
-----
One day, during her free time, Vienna decided to write a letter to "Adelaide Wilrich".
In it she wrote that she fell in love with "Heinrich Lenoir", the son of the kitchen chef, in her mansion (Adele's house)
She often visited Adele in recent days and because of this they began to cross paths more.
Vienna was only 15 years old at the time and hadn't yet made her debut.
She didn't yet have experience in the outside world, and because she constantly read novels, she didn't care about the origin and status of her lover, as long as he loved her and paid attention to her, which she couldn't get from her parents.
She really wanted to share this good news, but due to the fact that Adele was constantly busy preparing for her debut, they met less and less often.
But this didn't stop Vienna from slipping into the Wilrich estate.
She constantly found excuses and came to a secluded part of the yard where Henry liked to lie.
'Dear Adele
We haven't seen each other for so long that I couldn't tell you about all the events that happened.
I wish I could tell you this in person, but it looks like we won't be meeting soon.
First, I want to congratulate you on your upcoming debut, I will try to show up on time.
And now I'll move on to the main thing, I've had enough of the formalities.
Uff, I'm so worried, even considering that this is just a letter, and so, "I fell in love" and most importantly, I think he's also breathing in my direction either.
Don't ask me how I guessed it, it's just very obvious.
Now, who is this lucky guy?
Don't be too surprised, but this is "Heinrich Lenoir".
While you were going to fencing and riding lessons, I came to see you to meet him.
I'm so grateful to you for introducing us.
I hope you can attend Baron Nuelter's daughter's tea party.
I also really hope to hear words of favor at our next meeting.
The most important thing is that my parents don't find out that my visits to you were for the sake of meeting him.
With love from Vienna Edingberg"
She sent a letter that was supposed to arrive in 3 days.
-----
3 days later the day of this party came, all the girls that knew "Anita Nuelter" were present at it, as well as Adelaide's cousin "Rina Wilrich"
The whole time when guests were getting ready, Rina casted sharp glances at Vienna, which really got on the girl's nerves.
At some point, she decided to come up and ask why she bothered her with such glances.
"Sorry..
"Mh?
"Did I do something wrong?
"A?
"Something that managed to capture your meager attention?
"Ahh, you're talking about this, and I was already wondering why you decided to come up first.
Her friends started laughing and Rina grinned...
"PF, haaaa...sorry, I didn't think it would somehow offend you, but I think you'll find out later why you lit up so much.
"Umm...
Looking to the side, she saw her beloved friend.
'This girl captures the eye with her mysterious appearance. Her thick black locks decorate her head, creating a mysterious and enchanting image. Like silk threads, they frame her face, emphasizing her beauty and femininity. Her eyes are a real miracle. Blue pupils, like two drops of the deep ocean, like a window into her soul, through which you can see her true essence.
She has a mysterious charm and confidence that attracts the attention of everyone around her. Her appearance reflects her confidence. The manner of her movements, expressive eyes and grace create a unique image that makes everyone turn their heads behind her.
Her red dress could be seen from afar'
Turning back to Rina, she bowed and said, "Sorry for disturbing you, but for now I'll take my leave."
A smile lit up on her face and she went to Adele.
'well, well, let's see how long your smile will last'
Having drilled her gaze, she continued her conversation with her companions.
-----
"Adele!
She ran to her and hugged her.
Adele, as always, calmly reacted to her friend's violent reaction; she not only exuded grace, but also the aura of a black cat, opposite Vienna.
"Hi, I haven't seen you for a while.said the girl.
"Um, is that all?
"What are you talking about?
"Have you not read my letter?
"I didn't receive anything.
"How is it? The butler didn't deliver anything to you?
"I didn't return home after class, I immediately went to "Malbin-di" salon
And then, after getting ready, I came here.
"Ah.. I wrote it 3 days ago, you were probably not home then..
"Well, when I get back, I'll read it, can't you tell me to my face what's written there?
"Well, I'm embarrassed, so it's better that you read it first, and then we'll discuss it.
-----
"Ahem ahem
A sound sounded from far away, it was Rina's voice.
"The guests who have gathered today and pleased us with their presence, dear friends, first I would like to greet you and wish you a good time from my dear friend Anita."
And then Adele added in a whisper, "if you think about it, Rina spent the night with us yesterday, since her estate is far from its current location."
"Oh no not this...
The sound began to increase and the atmosphere began to heat up, the audience also began to show more and more interest.
"So where did I stop?"
She took a glass of drinks, wet her throat and continued, "Today I came across a very interesting letter, it was from my dear friend, so I won't go into details and will state everything right away.
In this letter she told me very good news that I would like to share with you, she would really like to make the announcement herself, but the poor thing is shy...
So please allow me to raise a toast to my friend 'VIENNA' and her romance with Heinrich, congratulations from the bottom of my heart.
_oh shit, this is what I was afraid of..._
'Heinrich ?who is this?
'Vienna? I heard this person's name somewhere.
"Is it really Vienna Edingberg?
"The same daughter of the marquis?
_I'm lucky that not many people know me by sight, otherwise I would have fallen flat on my face, nothing, one or two days and everyone will get tired of this gossip_
'Yes, there are a lot of rumors about her
' but who did she have an affair with?
' some Heinrich, this is the first time I've heard about him, what family is he from?
' Rina! Can you tell us in more detail?
"Oh, do you want to sniff out something else? Are you really that impatient to chat about someone?
"Oh my God, what do you make from us bitches, you yourself deliberately revealed all your cards, what other skeletons do you have in your closet?
"Well, what else would you like to find out?
"What's her lover's last name?
"Uh, well...his family isn't very well known...
"So what's his name?
"Heinrich Lenoir.
"Lenoir? I'm hearing this for the first time... is it really a commoner? Or some distant aristocrat?
"Oh, he's the chef's son...
"You mean a cook? in a restaurant? does he have a big business?
"No, he's the son of the cook at my cousin's mansion...
"Chief's son? Isn't this equivalent to the title of rootless?
"Where is Vienna herself?
"Is she here today?
"Oh, yes, I talked to her recently.
* Rina's friends were already aware of that letter, but they didn't say a word and kept their mouths shut to create intrigue.
No one can imagine the blow Vienna received from this situation, not only in terms of reputation but also moral damage.
She couldn't rely on anyone, and at some point she realized...
"Adele, you gave her the letter, right?
"Yes
"For what?
"I had no choice, she kept me in check not only morally, but also...
"Did she threaten you?
_please, I beg you, tell me that you were forced..._
"I did it without threats.
And then everything fell into place, that whole ideal picture of eternal friendship collapsed with a roar, breaking into small pieces.
"Don't you feel guilty for your actions?
"I didn't do anything wrong, I just exposed your lies.
"You didn't read the letter, am I right?
"Yes, I didn't open it, but...Rina already told me its contents.
"Ah, then I have nothing to tell you, you are free to think whatever you want, but I didn't expect you to believe everything that this bitch says.
"Sorry about the disappointment.
*Adelaide didn't want to admit that her action was wrong, because she was terribly ashamed of herself.
She thought that she would never be able to clear up this misunderstanding*
Standing in silence, awkwardness broke out between them, after which the culprit oth the cheese came up to them and began to grin.
"Well, how did the two lovers find each other?
"What are you talking about?" Vienna objected with fire in her eyes, glaring at her.
"Oh, so you're not aware yet?
"HEY!" Adele shouted, covering her mouth, she pushed her aside and whispered in her ear.
"You, you promised that you wouldn't open your mouth towards this topic..
"How is that possible? I thought you had no secrets between each other?
Haaah, you're just a terrible friend
Come on, we're sisters, why get so worked up?
Hearing this, Vienna came up and started asking questions.
"How...what are you...uffff..
What else are you hiding from me?
"I..
"She also has an affair with Heinrich
"How is this also...
"Rina! why are you...
"She has the right to know," shrugging her shoulders and tilting her head to the side, complete satisfaction with the situation appeared on her face.
"Haha..hahahahahahahaha..so that's where the trouble lies..
Everything happened because of you Rina...
"This ..." Adele stuttered, looking down at the hem of her dress.
"I don't have an affair, do you hear me, silly? I'm in love with him, but he didn't answer me in the same way.
"What..?!" the girl looked in bewilderment
"The first one to know about such a thing would be you ,cause I really believed that I could trust you with my secrets.
"I...I'm sorry, I'm so ashamed...
"So you have already confessed to each other?
"We...yes, we've been together for six months...
"Oh, sorry, I really didn't know, so I decided to ask for advice before expressing my feelings to him.
"I was also going to tell you everything, but I didn't find the time because of all these tasks...
Sorry, I'm partly to blame too...
I was afraid that she would tell everyone about our relationship if I didn't give her your letter...
"Well, are the lovebirds finished with their cooing?
"Rina...
"I hope you enjoyed today, I tried my best to make sure everyone had fun.
Smiling, she brushed her hair off her shoulder, turned and left.
"I... think I'll still agree to my father's proposal.
"What are you talking about?
"He gave me the opportunity to go abroad and continue my studies at the academy there.
"Where?
"To the south of Beverie Hones
"When will you come back ?
"In about 5 years
"Are you going to write?
"I don't think the letters will arrive quickly.
"Then once a month will do?
"Okay, it's a deal.
After that incident, Vienna tried not to get involved in such awkward scandals, and decided not to fall in love if it was an unresolved marriage like with her and Reinhard.
