It was night, the whole castle was brightly lit, hundreds of candles lit up the surroundings as if it were day, and even took away the role of the moonlight in the night sky, the night was dark, and the noisy roses of the day converged their petals in the moonlight, and the guests who had rested all afternoon dressed up walked out of the door to the castle, where a grand dinner awaited them.

Well-dressed guests are led by young maids carrying lanterns on the island's stone paths, and the sparkling lights mingle with the stars in the sky, all believing that they will spend a night without a good night.

"Is this the path leading to the castle hall?" The woman in a red dress wore a small black top hat, red lips like fire, and her breath was like an orchid, she was like a red rose blooming in the night, and there was a charm that made people fall under her skirt.

"Yes, beautiful young lady." The manservant who came and went to arrange the venue was fascinated by the woman's hooked lips and smiled, he seemed to return to the young man in his teens, in the misty place of the lights, a red glow had already appeared on his face, the woman in front of him was not the fairy in the lake in the story told by his mother when he was a child, otherwise how could he have such a magnificent appearance?

"I'm lost, can you take me?" The woman had a pair of talking eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled gently with the smile on her face.

“…… We are at your service, young lady. The valet lifted her slender black lace glove hand and placed a kiss on it.

"God bless you, you are so handsome!" She casually plucked the red rose pinned to her hair and inserted it in the chest pocket of the manservant, and it even smelled of the shampoo that the woman used to wash her hair, "Can you tell me your name?" Maybe we can swap names, my name is Yvette, what about you? Lovely little servant. ”

“…… Johan, John. The roses with the unique fragrance of women bloomed on their chests, and the manservant only felt that his own love was blooming with them.

"Thank you then, John." Walking to the gate of the castle, the woman kissed the manservant on the forehead slightly, turned around and blended into the crowd like a butterfly wearing flowers, the gorgeous skirt rose and fell slightly with the soft music, as if receiving a rose in the breeze, and the red gems decorated on the skirt shone brightly, at this moment she was the queen of the banquet.

"Aren't you going down?" Holding a goblet of wine, Siegel stood lazily on the terrace on the second floor, slowly looking down from the covered curtains, facing the crowd of people gathered together to talk, a trace of mockery slipped in his eyes, and then turned his head to look at the black cat held in his brother's arms, and said casually, "When did you think of having a black cat by your side?" ”

"It's not time yet." Ah Zhai smiled slightly, his eyes fell on the red-clothed woman in the crowd, this should be the Elizabeth that Sherlock said, she was really a beauty, but it was a pity that she was a thorny beauty, and she was also a woman he admired very much in the original book, but today her appearance in this place really made him unhappy, and when he heard Siegel ask, he couldn't help but have a little mischievous thought, "What does my brother think of that girl?" ”

"What a thorny rose." Siegel smacked his lips and smiled meaningfully.

"Does my brother think she's the right malady of the Rose Realm?" Ah Zhai didn't hide his intentions at all, and his eyes sparkled with fun.

"Even if she's a pirate?" Siegel smiled, "Since your dear little brother has such a profound recommendation, then I will reluctantly go down to meet her!" ”

"Brother, believe that if I can really win her heart, you will reap the most sincere love." Ah Zhai tilted his head, stroking the smooth fur of the black cat, in the original story, this beautiful woman followed only Rey from beginning to end, for Rey he could unceremoniously take refuge in the little earl, and then love was destined to not get her and chose to destroy Miè, and returned to the pirates alone, such a fierce woman who dared to love and hate, he unexpectedly felt that it might be very compatible with his brother.

"So she seems to have a lover?" Siegel placed his glass on the bar next to him.

"No, it's just unrequited love." Ah Zhai suddenly laughed, very arrogant and wanton, and it was rare to have a little childlike fun in his heart, he was a little curious about how Elizabeth would react if she told Sù Rey the truth, knowing that the man she loved with all her heart liked another man.

"Thank you for coming all the way here to celebrate my brother's birthday." Seeing that the hour was almost the same, Ah Zhai smiled and slowly walked down the stairs with a wine glass, "Here, please allow me to introduce you to a distinguished guest. ”

The white veil covered by the terrace on the third floor swayed, and behind the white veil was a very handsome young man wearing a crown, who waved softly to everyone and smiled gently.

"Oh my God, it's actually Your Majesty!" The ladies holding the silk fans whispered and looked at the people who suddenly appeared here in surprise.

"Welcome from afar." Ah Zhai smiled slightly, his smile was like a delicate water lotus on the water, there was a kind of elegance and tranquility that is rare for Westerners, and he bowed to the little emperor.

"Welcome to Your Majesty!" The gentlemen present saluted, and these proud and beautiful aristocratic ladies and ladies also lowered their high heads, revealing their snow-white necks like a flock of white swans with their wings.

"I wish Duke Rose a happy birthday and the Empire forever!" The young man's clear voice echoed under the curved roof, and it became louder and louder.

"The empire endures! The empire endures! The neat timbre makes the whole occasion look very solemn, and even a little strict.

"Wait for yourself." William quickly drained the wine from his goblet, waved at the crowd again, and disappeared behind the curtain.

"Oh my God, this is the first time I've seen His Majesty the Emperor, he's really handsome." One of the Viscounts spoke to her female companion in surprise.

"What does the Emperor's Majesty have, do you know? Before that, I was very sympathetic to Caroline, who had run away from marriage, and her father had married her to such a 'Bloody Earl', but God knows how good-looking he was, and I felt like I was going to fall in love with him. The young lady of the earl's house on the side spoke angrily.

"It's a pity that I haven't seen the Duke of Rose yet, they say he looks like a legendary elf, how beautiful it must be." The young lady of the other earl's house stroked the rose on her bun and pouted.

……

"Next, I would like to invite my brother, the owner of today's birthday, to have an opening dance." Ah Zhai pointed with his hand, and everyone found that a young man in a silver tuxedo appeared at the door of the hall at some point, he had a pair of extremely attractive silver eyes, although his face was pale and a little like a legendary vampire, but his forehead was full and the bridge of his nose was high, and he was actually a first-class good look.

The man slowly walked into the hall, and everywhere he went, people made way for him, and he smiled softly and walked towards the place where the female companions gathered, and countless aristocratic girls covered half of their faces with silk fans or gorgeous feather fans, but in their hearts they wished that the god of luck would land on their heads, and then, in the surprised and jealous eyes of everyone, Siegel stopped beside the woman in a bright red court dress.

The aristocratic women present all knew each other to a greater or lesser extent, but none of them knew the identity of the woman until then, even though she attracted the attention of most of the men present.

"Beautiful young lady, I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to a waltz?" Siegel bowed his head slightly and reached out to the stunned woman.

Yvette only felt that something had begun to change quietly from the moment she had blended into the island, but she didn't know why she was suddenly in a trance when she met the man's deep timbre eyes, and the next moment she found that she had unconsciously put her hand on the man's hand, interlocking her fingers, in a way she had never experienced before, and this handsome and extraordinary man substituted herself on the dance floor.

The musician raised in the family pulled up a sweet tune, in the melodious music, the woman danced lightly with the man's footsteps, the skirt fluttered like a blooming red rose, under the candlelight they seemed to be a natural pair, although it was the first time to cooperate, but their steps were incomparably compatible, forward, backward, spinning, jumping, the moment the eyes met, the woman did not realize that she was actually blushing under the gentle gaze of the man.

"Thank you for your company." The violin stopped abruptly, Yvette was surprised to find that she was leaning on the man's arms, and her nose was covered with the faint fragrance of roses on the Count of Roses, and the man bowed his head slightly, grinding his ears and temples, "This rose is very flattering to you, I hope you like it." ”

The gentle man took off the orange rose pinned to his tuxedo and handed it to the woman in the surprised eyes of everyone, and then slightly, as quickly as he arrived, disappeared without a trace before everyone could react.

"Oh my God, the Duke is so romantic." There is a noble girl who has studied roses seriously and her companions whispered, "He actually expressed his love for that girl in public, a mysterious love, oh my God, I really envy!" ”

"Do you know which lady it is?" The female companion couldn't help but speak sourly, who doesn't know what it means to marry the Count of Rose, a very dedicated husband, the mistress of a large territory, and most importantly, a rich mistress, which means a lifetime of food and clothing, servants like clouds, countless gold, silver and jewels - this is simply the life that every noble woman dreams of.

However they were not able to discuss it for long, because

#卧槽, the host is heartbroken and jumps wildly, is it swollen? #

For a moment, Sherlock felt like his head was full of crazy barrage.
