Chapter 59: The Silver Dragon Princess in Action 2
"W-What!?" Vivien Leigh's eyes widened!
Just now, Cecilia explained everything to her succinctly. Of course, all this so-called is nothing more than Cecilia's personal inference, and it is far from the truth.
However, the effect is the same, at least it can prevent Vivien Leigh from making contact with Aven.
But Vivien Leigh couldn't believe it, she stared at Cecilia with wide eyes, and then at Evan who was staggering there, and barely pulled out a smile.
"Don't joke with me......"
The reason why the smile was reluctant and the tone was not firm enough was because Vivien Leigh knew that this was not groundless. It's not April Fool's Day, and Cecilia isn't the kind of person who would mess around with such political jokes. And combined with the current strange situation in the castle, although this information is difficult to believe, or unwilling to believe, it seems that only this statement can reasonably explain everything about the castle recently.
"I'm not kidding you!" said Cecilia nervously, now on the terrace of the ballroom, and though no one was disturbing, she looked at the noisy ballroom with wariness as she spoke. Vivien Leigh is the protagonist of the evening, and Cecilia, who is single and has the inheritance of the Earl of Ferrard, is also at the heart of the aristocracy.
It can even be said that Cecilia is more favored by aristocratic youths than Fevien Leigh. Because although Vivien Leigh was noble and powerful, the actual benefits of marrying her were not as great as Cecilia, who gave a county as a dowry.
Cecilia accentuated, "Today Charlotte found me, he asked me to leave Fort Savoie, and asked me to bring this to Claire and Neem. He didn't say why, but I could always deduce a little bit about it! And they're all gone!"
Cecilia was anxious, which made her seductive cheeks flush.
"Calm down, Cecilia!" Fervien Leigh was faintly uneasy, but still emotionally unacceptable, "Maybe Charlotte and they're out for fun? You know, he's never liked this kind of banquet......"
Cecilia retorted incredulously, "Do you really think so?"
- How is that possible!? I don't even believe it! Vivien Leigh's face darkened, and she knew that she was deceiving herself.
Charlotte hates banquets, but she doesn't go so far as to miss even the most important celebration dinner of the year. Even if there is any emergency, at least say hello. But the current situation is that he didn't say anything, and disappeared with Claire and Neam without saying hello.
This is also where Vivien Leigh vaguely felt that something was wrong, and she asked Cecilia, "Charlotte herself is the master of the eight rings, and so is Claire. That Neham, we've played against before, and you know he's not easy. But these three people disappeared at the same time, and even Miss Nancy and Sister Kathleen were gone, do you think it is really possible? Does Fort Sava have such a high-end power? You know, Teacher Nancy is a legend!"
"And what about Charlotte's warning?" Cecilia insisted, "I don't think he'll be untargeted. ”
"Maybe it's ......"
"Maybe what?" asked Cecilia in a slumber before she could finish speaking.
So Vivien Leigh fell silent.
At that moment, the banquet hall changed again, and Vivien Leigh looked into the banquet hall like a drowning person grasping driftwood. I saw Rebecca suddenly knock the cup with a silver spoon, and her voice was crisp, so that the nobles around her shut up in time.
The court musicians noticed the change, and they stopped the flying music. At this moment, everyone noticed that Rebecca had something to say, and the banquet hall, which had been very lively just now, immediately fell silent.
It can be seen that Rebecca's reputation in China is indeed very large.
Rebecca didn't have a smile on her face, she looked at Aven, who was about thirty meters away from her, and asked, "Aven, my son, where is your brother?"
The voice was not happy, and even cold. This was a far cry from Vivien Leigh's distant memory, many years ago, when Charlotte had a party, Rebecca would ask Aven, but at that time there was a helplessness in her voice, not a cold anger in her voice.
Vivien Leigh and Cecilia held their breath and stared at Evan almost instantly.
"I don't know. Evan replied meticulously, he shook his head, and put on a hint of an inexplicable smile, "Maybe he's been playing around somewhere, you know, he hasn't been back to Erosa for a long time." ”
The nobles erupted in a good-natured laugh, and everyone knew that Charlotte was a maverick nobleman who didn't like banquets. After Evan mentioned it, people remembered all the anecdotes caused by Charlotte more than ten years ago, so they all thought that it was not a big deal that he did not come to the banquet.
At most, I thought in my heart, how old I am, I am already the top spell caster of the Eight Rings, I didn't expect that earl to be so childish. So, of course, those nobles who originally had expectations for Charlotte and planned to set up almost or even stand in line re-evaluated Erosa's future in their hearts.
"Silence!" if the previous sentence was just a routine inquiry by Rebecca, but this undisguised anger immediately made the nobles realize that something was wrong, but with the exception of a few people, the nobles only regarded it as Rebecca's dissatisfaction with Charlotte.
"I want you to get your brother back, is that okay?" Rebecca asked as she looked at Evan and said word by word. At this moment, even people with a slight sense of politics feel that something is wrong.
Evan was silent for a moment, then he took his glass and asked, "Now?"
"Now!"
The crowd was in an uproar, and no one felt that the situation was right.
Aiwen's face became dark, and he asked, "Mom, is Charlotte much more important than me in your heart?" but he didn't ask this after all, and at that moment, Aivan's consciousness suddenly felt that everything in this world was boring. He didn't answer immediately, but searched the crowd for Vivien Leigh's figure, like a magnet, and in an instant he found her.
Vivien Leigh covered her mouth, and she looked at Evan with pain, disbelief, and a hint of doubt that she might not even be aware of.
That trace of doubt was captured by Ai Wen, even if it was hidden very deeply, even if it was only a slight touch, but for Ai Wen, it was heavier than anyone's words and expressions.
Aiwen's mood was as heavy as lead, and he suddenly felt that the brightly lit banquet hall had become cold and lonely, the world had turned gray and white, the nobles had become black silhouettes, and their facial features were hollow white. Even Rebecca's bright colors are fading at a visible rate, and only Vivien Leigh is still brightly colored.
But it is precisely because of the bright colors that she can see her every expression clearly in the black and white world.
- I will save her!
His self-destructive consciousness was almost at its peak! yes! What was the point? Everyone cared about Charlotte, and as an individual of Aven, there was no point in existing. In that case, wouldn't it be a matter of course for everyone to let this consciousness save Vivien Leigh at the cost of destruction?
He even thought that when Lu Sien returned and said to Lawrence, Rebecca, and Vivien Leigh with an indifferent attitude, 'No, you are mistaken, I'm not Aven, I'm Lu Sien', would they show a little sad expression for Aven?
Just thinking about it made him shudder.
"Aven!" Rebecca, who had almost turned black and white, suddenly spoke, which made her outlines and colors sharper again. She had anger, sadness, and disappointment on her face, but it didn't mean anything to Aven, "I want you to come back with Charlotte intact!"
Ai Wen smiled slightly, bowed and touched his chest with his right hand, performing an impeccable courtesy.
"As you wish, Mom!"
Evan suddenly thought of a sentence, and he said to Rebecca in his heart - Mom, I will become a firefly.
Then, he turned and walked past the stunned nobles and pushed the door open!
