Golden Darkness's Own Opinion

"make you worry."

"No." Golden Darkness shook his head, "It's fine as long as you're well."

"...Ah, the young ones among you probably don't want to continue listening to me, an outdated old fellow, so let the banquet begin. Praise Jesus, praise our Queen."

At this moment, Holmes on the stage had just finished his brief opening speech, and announced the beginning of the dance banquet in a light, half-joking tone.

While letting out good-natured laughter, he either waved or bowed to this one of the most powerful men in England. The guests around him and the banquet each made a pair and walked down the dazzlingly lighted dance floor arm in arm. Dance gracefully to the soft and slow rhythm of the elegant opening song.

"...what are they doing?"

"Dancing."

"The so-called dancing, is this half-hugging and half-hugging twisting of the body in full view?"

Golden Darkness frowned, his face full of contempt.

"What are you talking about?" Aria pinched her hand, "You want to jump down too."

"No, I refuse."

The golden darkness took a step back without hesitation.

"I don't want to go down and act like a clown to please the audience."

"But you just promised me before—"

"I just said that I will attend this so-called banquet with you. I don't like to have such contact with others."

"Even with me?"

"……Eh?"

"Even if it's with me, don't you want to?"

Aria looked at her pitifully, even though she knew that she was just pretending, the golden darkness still covered her forehead with a headache.

"Me, and you?"

"Uh-huh."

Aria looked forward with anticipation.

Naturally, she couldn't let other people take Eve away. She had already decided that Eve's dance partner could only be her.

The golden darkness looked at Aria's expression at the moment, and her shining eyes, like a small animal eager to be fed by the master, finally softened the girl's heart.

Seeing all the changes in the expression of the golden darkness, Aria cheerfully stretched out his hand to her, spreading his palm upwards, just like those gentlemen who invite their favorite female companions.

"...Okay." Golden Darkness stepped forward, "Please."

She doesn't know much about these human social activities, and she doesn't even know the most basic dance steps. If she wants to end, she can only let others guide her.

"give it to me."

Aria was very happy to pick up the catkin that was stretched towards her.So far, the development of the situation is still not too different from the script in her heart, as long as...

Then she was cut off.

The girl stared blankly at her empty palm, and then cast her eyes forward: a fiery red dress, the whole person is like a burning flame, with two completely different contradictory temperaments of cold and warm, the blue-haired girl With a full face, he took the arm of the golden darkness as a matter of course.

"...Reggie!"

A cold flame ignited in her low roar.

"I made an agreement with her first!"

"so what?"

The pure black evening dress, like the night itself, is as deep and elegant as the girl who stands between Aria and Reki, proudly raising her neck like a black swan, her eyes like a scarlet moon He stared at the distraught girl with a sarcastic smile.

"On the day of the date, we also agreed to be together. Then, Aria, what did you do?"

She played with the tips of her honey-colored hair, letting it loop and loosen smoothly around her fingertips.

"Riko and Lei Ji, now you are just doing what you did back then."

……

Mellie, who was idly lying in a wheelchair at the edge of the venue, caught a glimpse of the situation here, and her loose eyes instantly brightened: the good show she was looking forward to was finally about to be staged.

Looking around, Mellie rocked the wheelchair and came to another actor in the play.

"Gui'an, Master Watson."

Al Watson was watching in a daze that his fiancée was falling in love with another girl in the Shura Field.

Mellie glanced at the expression on "his" face at the moment, and the smile on his lips was tainted with a vague meaning: "It seems that you have been doing well recently."

"I don't need to say sarcasm, Miss Holmes." With a final glance over there, Al Watson took a deep breath, and turned around without any nostalgia or hesitation, "What's your business?"

"That was originally yours." Meluette tapped her lips lightly, "Aren't you going to fight for it?"

Her voice is full of some kind of illusory and ethereal, which makes people can't help but listen carefully.

"..."

The expression on his face was twisted and struggling, but finally returned to the original calm.

"My situation is clear to me. I give up."

"Give up?" Mellie raised her brows, "Since you were born, hasn't the Watson family been cultivating you as your sister's fiancé? Is it really okay to just give up your goal of survival?"

"My goal is not to be Aria's future husband, but to ensure the continuation of the Watson family."

Al Watson spoke indifferently.

"The situation over there, I, and the entire Watson family, have no ability to get involved. I don't want to use the family's survival as a bargaining chip in exchange for the qualification to become a clown."

"... Tsk, a guy who thinks ahead and thinks ahead."

No wonder I can only stay at the level of my childhood sweetheart, and I can't move forward even one step after so many years.

"Huh? Miss Holmes, what did you say just now?"

"It's nothing, I'm just lamenting your sanity."

Oh, reason.Master Watson, you haven't seen the essence of your sister's scarlet color at all.

Mellie raised her head, and the smile on her face changed back to the standard smile she always used to deal with others.

Standard, but polite.

Merliet Holmes has lost interest in Al Watson.

'Really boring. '

She shook her head indiscriminately, and no longer paid attention to this "known" person who was bound by many shackles.

'Forget it, even if one actor is missing, as long as the most critical role is not absent, it is enough. '

On the other side of the dance floor, the girls' dispute intensified.

The Shadow of the End, Volume 132: Chapter 33 Chapter [-] The Feast ([-])

"It was me first, obviously it was me first!"

"Aria, you, don't always want to make big news, be honest, isn't fair competition good?"

"To be fair, it's in first-come, first-served order!"

"Dark's partner now is me."

"That's what you snatched from me!"

The golden darkness looked around with a bit of a headache. The noise of these three people became louder and louder, and even attracted the attention of the guests nearby.These guests watched for a while, and gradually understood what happened. After seeing the golden darkness looking over, they showed a tacit ambiguous smile at the helpless girl, and then stopped aside, but it was not the slightest bit. There is no intention of stepping forward to solve it.

The feeling of being treated as a sideshow, Golden Darkness doesn't like it very much.

"Eve, tell me, who do you want to choose?"

The dispute on the other side seemed to have finally come to an end, and the three girls seemed to have reached a consensus. Aria rushed forward and broke Reggie's arm that was tied to her, and pressed her shoulder quite forcefully.

"Me, Feng Lizi, or Reki?"

"..."

At this moment, at least half of the guests at the banquet looked over with great interest.

These gazes made the golden darkness even more irritated.

"Eve?"

In the corner of the hall, Mellie Holmes smiled contentedly.

“Very nice and delicious.”

This struggle, this silence, is exactly what the wheelchair detective wants to see.

The violence of language will distort the heart, and will peel off the veil-like camouflage mask used to maintain the hazy sense of distance between people, exposing the truest emotions and the truest malice.

Mellie picked up a glass of red wine by the table, held the bottom of the glass and shook it slightly, the swaying red liquid in the glass was as coquettish as fresh blood.

"If you keep silent like this, it will be very bad."

Once a girl in love is pushed into a hurry, she will do unbelievable and terrible things.

"Choose it, choose it. I want to know, I'm curious."

Like an aristocratic daughter enjoying a great show in the VIP seats of a theater, Meloit leaned gracefully on the back of the wheelchair, resting her side face with one hand, and raised a goblet to her lips with the other.

Then the red wine in her hand was snatched away.

Al Watson put the glass back indifferently: "Miss Holmes, you are underage."

The girl puffed up her bun face angrily.

"You boring 'man' haven't left yet?"

"You guy."

Al Watson's face changed slightly, and when he was about to say something to teach this little fox with a good appearance and a bad heart, someone walking in front of "him" made "him" stiffen, The words of rebuke just started and ended without a problem.

"Ah, let's go now."

"He" bowed slightly towards the second Miss Holmes, and then turned and left without hesitation. His footsteps were a little messy, as if he was running away, as if there was some poisonous scorpion behind him who was afraid to avoid it.

"Tsk."

Meluet clicked her tongue in pity, if Al Watson responded to her provocation, then she would show "him" what is the ultimate verbal violence in the world.

"..."

She found something was wrong, her originally very slight complaint seemed a little too clear.

"Oh, is Al Watson gone?"

Soon, she understood what had happened.Turning her head in surprise, it was the blond girl she was about to observe carefully before that caught the detective's eyes.

"Well, forget it. If you say it, it should be fine."

Golden Darkness nodded lightly, pointing with one finger at the second young lady who had faintly sensed what was going to happen and fell into a sluggish state, while turning around, as if to announce her intentions to the three girls who fell into inexplicable silence and the surrounding crowd. The decision is average, the tone is calm and indifferent.

"I choose her."

-

"...Riko understands what it feels like to be cut off."

"...Ditto."

"Woo~ Eve..."

The girl squatting by the table resentfully, only needs to bite a handkerchief in her mouth, and she can completely evolve into the image of a boudoir and resentful woman.

Stared at by such resentful eyes, the detective in the dancing dance glanced over there feelingly, then raised his eyebrows, as if on purpose, and leaned close to his side with an artificial shy blush on his face In the arms of the dance partner.

The golden darkness could hear the sound of teeth grinding not far away.

"Don't go up, Reggie, come in with me."

Gritting her teeth, Aria grabbed Reki's hand.

The second song of the dance will start soon.

……
