One

In the eyes of the women, the dancing girl Golia is a slut who loves vanity.

Although she was only fifteen years old, she was not old enough to marry, but it seemed to deepen their fear of her—she was like a Lolita, with a mature and almost rotten, woman's heart, but with the skin of an innocent girl, she smiled at every man who looked up at her.

The woman who liked her the most in the country was probably the female boss of the First Opera Company - that is, her boss. After all, as the undisputed pillar of the team, this girl who ranks second to last in the cast of the troupe has brought the first money and prestige to the opera troupe.

"Those women are nothing but jealousy, my dear." Out of care for the pillars, she will even braid the girl's hair in her spare time. The landlady is said to have worked as a maid in the duke's house when she was young, and knew even more unique tricks than a maid specializing in hair accessories, "You don't have to pay attention to the gossip, even if their cursed lips are chapped and the dirty blood flows from those thick oiled lips, you are still the number one dancer in the country, and no one can change it." ”

At this time, the girl Goliath would curl her lips and eyes, and the expression was like that of Aphrodite in the full picture of the shell and the foam.

God, she's really the reincarnated Helen, or maybe the projection of Lilith. But it doesn't matter, even if she is really a witch who escaped into the world under Lucifer's throne, what does my little opera company have at stake?

Then the landlady smiled even more lovingly: "Do you remember the generous Duke of Scarlett?" It is said that at the palace banquet tonight, he specifically mentioned your name, thus giving our troupe a chance to be admired by His Majesty. Since you're okay after tonight's show, go and spend time with him again - wear the red shoes he gave you. ”

Gloria has a well-known fetish, which is why she has made countless people look at her and love the name of vanity - she loves red shoes, whether it is dancing shoes, soft shoes at home, loafers when going out, and even during prayer and funeral, the bright red has never disappeared from her shoes.

Items and processes that can extract red dye are not common in today's Emerald Jade, and even more so for a pair of comfortable and beautiful shoes. As a result, a pair of red shoes made of leather or cloth was almost only affordable for the wives of nobles and wealthy merchants. In addition to them, only Golia, whose surname is unknown, is left in this small opera company.

Gloria returned to her room, and with the key she had kept close to her, she opened a nondescript secret door.

Anyone but her would be surprised or even shocked to see it—there were no treasured jewels or any ornate garments. There are only countless pairs of delicate and beautiful red shoes, different styles and different materials, neatly stacked in a whole room. Even in the wardrobe of the queen of the dynasty, there are not necessarily so many pairs of beautiful red shoes.

In front of outsiders, the girls who were either smiling and silent, or their eyes were wandering, or they were spinning and dancing, or they were looking down at the audience, but in front of these dazzling red shoes, they knelt down extremely reverently.

When Goliath was five or six years old, she already had a hazy understanding of the physical relationship between men and women.

She was not an orphan, but she did not have a surname, because neither did her mother. Her mother used to be a singer girl, and in order to maintain her glamorous appearance, she also did some business that she liked, and maintained a long or short relationship with some men with little wealth.

And Golia, I just don't know which relationship is a big accident.

This god-believing nation resists abortion, miscarriage and even treason. Gloria's mother nursed her for a while after giving birth to her, and soon reverted to the clamor of drunken money.

The men did not shy away from their young children, and apparently her mother only intended to fulfill her obligation to keep pets, and there was no motherly heart. There were even men who saw five or six-year-old girls watching them by the door, and while speeding up their movements, asked the woman: In a few years, will we try to be with your daughter?

The woman said, whatever it is.

Seeing a lot, Goliath also regarded these things as normal as eating and drinking.

Until one day, she woke up in the middle of the night and stumbled to find her mother. But behind the half-hidden door, a woman in a bright red dress took a whip and whipped it at the man who fell to the ground, naked and groaning.

There seemed to be a suppressed pain in that voice, but it also released irrepressible happiness. Eventually, the man seemed to endure it to the limit, and the woman tossed the whip aside, stretched out her left foot, which was wearing bright red dancing shoes, and stepped on it with a smile......

At that moment, little Goliath felt as if some subtle electric current had penetrated her from head to toe.

As she grows older, the girl's eyes gradually change to that of a girl. Gloria soon noticed that she was starting to pay attention to something—red shoes, especially bright dancing shoes. As long as she sees someone else wearing such a pair of shoes, her gaze will be irrepressibly attracted, and she will even forget everything around her.

So she began to instinctively yearn to be close to them, to be a little closer, a little closer to the red.

So for the first time, she begged her blood mother to find someone to teach her how to dance.

When she was ten years old, Goliath's mother died of illness. Left her with little property left, and a solid dance foundation.

Soon, she was favored by the female boss of the First Opera Company, who was not yet the first opera company at the time, and was accepted as a reserve member.

At the age of twelve, he became famous in a dance.

Two

The girl's snow-white feet stepped on the smooth ground, and then the knees were bent down, and the hands and feet landed on the same plane. Finally, the smooth forehead was pressed against the floor, just inches away from the upper.

A standard bow ceremony, this beautiful girl who is sought after by countless people, and even abandons her wife and longs to live and die, at this time has a pious and obsessive expression, as if worshipping the god she loves and obsesses with in her heart.

After holding this position for a moment, Goliath carefully lifted her head slightly, then prostrate forward a little, and pressed her cheeks and head against the nearest pair of red dancing shoes.

The shoes are carefully cared for and cared for every day, not even a little dust is contaminated. In this position, the girl repeatedly grinded, rubbed, and even stretched out her tongue to lick and kiss, breathing deeply and shallowly with her eyes half-closed, and her cheeks were flushed with excitement, like a rose blooming to its fullest.

This behavior continued for half an hour, until her breathing suddenly tightened and rational tears oozed from the corners of her eyes. Reluctantly, he stepped back a little, erased the marks left on the upper, and carefully put it on his feet.

- Since her debut on stage, she has been wearing red dancing shoes and frozen in the last movement. When the audience's almost boiling and crazy cheers and exclamations sounded, her physical and psychological climbed to the top for the first time in her life.

- Gloria knew from then on that she was completely free from God's salvation.

Tonight's performance was at nine o'clock in the evening, and at this banquet presided over by the queen, they gathered the dignitaries and nobles they had never seen before.

Wearing bright red dancing shoes and a long dress of the same color, Goliath appeared after her name was pronounced. She stood high on the stage, looking at the countless curious, questioning, disdainful, or greedy eyes below, and after the first dance step, all of them were left with a shocking red in the countless pupils.

Aqua, pink, bright red, bright red, crimson, red, blood, crimson...... The colors are jumping, dancing, screaming, crying, laughing, they become joys and sorrows, they become the ups and downs and pains they have endured, they become the ups and downs that fall off the cliff and climb back to the top, they become you, me, and Him.

And the protagonist is high up, looking down at the enchanted, stunned, fanatical or obsessed eyes below, hooking his lips and smiling.

The music freezes, and the hem of her skirt lifts up, revealing snow-white ankles and red dancing shoes as bright as blood.

Three

The dancing girl Golia was rewarded by the king, but the king was old, and the honor was given to his most trusted right-hand man, Duke Scarlet, who succeeded him to the throne for five years.

The duke will meet at his private residence.

Goliath wore the same shoes she danced tonight and went to Scarlett's house, her favorite pair - not as the landlady thought, Scarlett had given her not long ago. Exactly ten years ago, the duke's father, who was still her mother's guest, gave her a pair of red dancing shoes.

It was the only pair of red dancing shoes that Golia's mother had, and after her mother's death, the girl was almost eager to take them for herself. It was these shoes that started the first aspirations of her childhood. Coincidentally, it fits her feet perfectly.

"Looks like you like to dance."

The young Duke of Scarlett sat in the main seat on the side of the reception room. Even if Goliath doesn't care too much about something, she has to admit that the other party has a good skin.

Looks like he has a strong momentum and aggressiveness, which is completely different from his father...... It could even be said that it is the complete opposite.

For the sake of the present, although Goliath had seen the old duke many times, it was only the second time she had met the new Scarlett.

Different from the last hurried glance, His Royal Highness the Duke at this time gradually gave her a kind of ...... Indescribable feeling.

"As you can see, rather," she had to correct the other person, "I like to wear red dancing shoes and dance." ”

Maybe it was a delusion, but after hearing her correction, Scarlett seemed to be in a better mood. He instructed his servants to fetch the king's last time, and then suddenly stood up and looked at her condescendingly, but intently:

"So, would you rather wear red dancing shoes forever and keep dancing?"

The words of the other person turned into a picture in the mind, and the emotions that were only briefly on the stage or self-satisfied in the dark room were surging up like a tidal wave.

"I ......"

Goliath subconsciously raised her head and looked up at the young man who was much taller than her.

Ah, this feeling, this sense of disobedience......

It's like the little girl ten years ago, when she looked at the bright red dancing shoes on her mother's feet, she was stunned from her spine, and almost her soul trembled and became obsessed.

"I ...... Willing. ”
