"What's the matter?" Vittoriga, wrapped in a cashmere shawl and carrying two glasses of wine, went to the roof to accompany him, and just sat down beside him, the smell of alcohol came to his face, "You seem to be unhappy today, and you have drunk so much wine." ”

"Nothing. ”

"You...... Have you gone to see your mother?" she asked, the mother of Lucifer's deceased mother, not the Duchess who sat in Frederick's house, "Is it all right?" ”

"What could be the matter. "It's been so long, what else can I do? He closed his eyes, "Liga, do you think my mother regretted giving birth to me?" With his oil bottle, he didn't have a good life for a few days in the end.

"How can you think that, she didn't leave you, of course she likes you very much, how can she regret it? She's a mother, you're her child, her everything, so ah, don't think about it so much. She is also not a comforting person, "At least, your mother she carries you, unlike me, I don't know if I am a human or a ghost." ”

"You ......"

"Gee, really, talking about this kind of topic. I'm telling you, I'm probably going to be out for a few months, and I'm here today to talk to you. Victoria quickly changed the subject, "If you need anything, I'll bring it back to you." ”

"Coax me as a child, who is rare. Will you be able to come back in time for winter?"

"What's wrong?"

"If you can come back before the first snowfall, I'll give you a gift. ”

Everway's winter came relatively late, and the climate was still very warm before the snow, but after the snow, it immediately turned into a cold winter, and no matter how much clothes he was wearing, he could still feel a trace of dampness and cold. And then came the New Year, but now Victoria hasn't returned, and it seems that things are really holding back.

Although Victoria sent a letter to Jesica assuring him that he would come back before the New Year, Jesica was still not at ease, and sometimes secretly followed Lucifer after school and asked, "Where is my sister?" Jesica can know the relationship between the two of them, or thanks to Lucifer, the gifts for the New Year are better than others, and often ask her what she likes, openly and secretly protect her, and finally found out that she has bad intentions, and then Jesica asks him, "Do you like my sister?" However, I don't want you to like my sister. ”

"Why?"

"Why do you want to provoke my sister if you want to marry Sister Lyticia as your wife?" Jessica despised him, "Or, you can only choose one of the two sisters anyway." But in the end, I compromised, "My sister said that the two of you are just a cooperative relationship, and I misunderstood you before, I'm sorry." ”

Hearing Jesseica ask him about Victoria, Lucifer said, "Since she said she would come back, she will definitely come back, when did your sister lie to you, right?"

It was only two days before the New Year that Victoria returned, carrying a large bag of apologies for Jesica.

"I thought my sister wasn't coming back. Jessega grabbed the corner of her clothes aggrievedly, tears rolled in her eyes, but she was embarrassed to cry in front of so many people, so she could only pout and bow her head.

Victoria stuffed it for her, "Look, my sister went to buy you something." ”

"If you don't want a gift, you want a sister. "Hold her waist and don't let go

Victoria smiled apologetically at Count Allen, "I'll coax her first, and I'll talk to you later." ”

"Go, go, go. The Count understood, "She's been waiting for you." ”

"Jessica, I'm not where anyone is bullying you, I heard you're having a good time with a boy from the Bohan Carter family. Victoria took her hand.

"Sister, is it fun outside?" Jessica bit her lower lip, "I want to go with you." ”

"Jesseca, isn't it good to stay here? ”

"It's very good here, my brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers are very good to me, but I still want to be with my sister. ”

"Jessica. Victoria's throat was dry, "It's hard outside, and my sister still has to make money, can I take you there when my sister makes a lot of money?" "How could she take her away, she couldn't stay with her for that long.

"Good. "She is very well-behaved and believes her even when she knows that her sister may be lying to her.

Victoria immediately changed the topic, turned out the gifts, what dresses, jewelry, paints, brushes were all shown to her, these are different from what she saw in the imperial capital, the style is not very different, and even the customs there are very interesting, especially attractive to Jessica, so I forgot about the previous unpleasantness.

On the night of the New Year, the emperor held a banquet in the palace, and Victoria never went, but gave the gift to Jesseca, and asked her to give it to Lucifer, but Jesica came back and took it, and said, "Sister, he doesn't want it, he said that you want to give it to him yourself, otherwise it doesn't count." ”

"I said you, why are there so many things?" Victoria had to send it herself, "Look, dismantle it yourself." ”

"Liga, you've lost weight. Lucifer pinched her face, then kicked the huge box at her feet, "Oh, your gift." ”

"Didn't you say that when you come back after the snowfall, you won't give me a gift?"

"I've seen you lose so much weight, forgive you. He hugged her, "Liga, how did you get shorter?"

"You've grown taller, okay?"

"Liga, I miss you so much. ”

Laughing at Victoria, she nudged him, "Lucifer, such an adult, how can you be like a child." She squatted down and opened the box, and there was a black cat curled up in it, sleeping soundly, and was grabbed by Victoria's neck and picked up, and she was so frightened that she exploded.

"Do you like it?"

"Like. The cat was about to be ravaged and lost its temper, "Why did you remember to give me a cat?"

"Know you like it. Lucifer pulled out a golden cage, "There's another one, it's a New Year's gift, her name is Chloe." ”

In that cage was a small girl with pointed ears and a pair of black and translucent wings, which belonged to the elves. Victoria had never seen a race other than the Terrans, and immediately threw down the cat.

Victoria, who took the cage, thought of something, her face began to become solemn, and she asked, "Lucifer, you are a person, do you say you are bad?" She lowered her head and smiled quietly, but very low.

"I didn't owe you anything. But now, the more I owe, the more I owe, and the more she owes it, she can't repay the feelings, "I don't want that." "I'm afraid I won't be able to control it.

"Why don't you like me?"

"Because, I'm afraid of losing. Victoria clasped the corner of the table, "I'm afraid of me, I can't get back." ”

"I won't let you lose, Liga, in front of me, you will always be the one who wins. Lucifer touched the pattern on the golden cage and said, "As long as you don't leave, you are the one who wins, and if you dare to leave, I will take you back, lock you up, and put you in such a big cage and be a canary." ”

He did not break his word about what he said.
