29 of February
Marie: I run off to the stairs laughing, sat on the handrail and slid down, nearly pushing off a housemaid with a tray. And then I picked up my skirts and ran down the stair to the basement, watched by surprised maids.
Task: Go through the basementin the ghosts mode.
Marie: Hello, Leo. I am so happy to see you!
Leo: Hello, Marie. Considering I’ve only been seeing potatoes and carrots since early morning, I’m especially happy to see you.
Marie: Stephen said you can take a break from carrots. And you won’t even get scolded like it’s happened that time with a wardrobe.
Marie made a guilty look.
Leo: It’s very good news. I wonder what made him change his mind.
Marie: Perhaps a flower and a kiss on the top of his head from some young lady.
Leo turned red suddenly, apparently remembering something.
Marie: You’re so cute when you’re embarrassed. You know, Leo, today is the 29th of February, and on this day girls can do anything, even propose to young men.
Leo: I heard that if the young man declines, he must pay off, otherwise it will turn out badly for him.
Marie: The last rather depends on money, not on the girl. But are you…
Leo approaches Marie quickly, takes her hand and stands on one knee.
Leo: Marie, I love you. Will you marry me?
Marie: Yes. Yes, of course, Leo! My god, it just doesn’t happen like this! I didn’t expect… I didn’t think you would make up your mind to say that.
Leo: Actually I was very afraid. I’m still trembling now and not from cold. I just thought that… If you said it first, I would regret for the rest of my life that it wasn’t me. Although I don’t know how we’ll do now. I am of noble family, but very poor. Your stepmother doesn’t like me, I can’t dance and can’t even sort out a sack of potatoes within an hour... Oh my god, what am I saying…
Marie: Leo, I love you. I don’t know where and how we’ll be married yet, perhaps we’ll have to run off somewhere. And my stepmother will be against it of course, but it all doesn’t matter. Because we’re together now, so it will all be fine.
You completed the task and received some points of freedom and some tokens
Marie: That’s how my 29th of February has ended. The only day when I could have made a proposal, but received it instead. The best day of my life.
