Benjamin was almost scared out of a cold sweat. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He has traveled so far, and the time is not short. And for such a long time, even his family has never found out that he is not the real Benjamin. Therefore, the worry of being identified has actually not been considered by him for a long time.
He had already thoroughly entered the role of Benjamin. Even, let him subconsciously answer his name, and it was Benjamin who said it.
However, today, at this moment, he was called broken by a little girl.
What's the situation?
His heart was like 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by, and he almost dropped his jaw to the ground.
Of course, he still didn't show all this on his face.
"What are you talking about, I'm Benjamin. "He's also experienced in a hundred battles, no matter what he's thinking, at least he can't fault his expression.
"Really?" Elizabeth frowned slightly, as if confused, but quickly unfolded, "You said yes, that is." β
β......β
With such an answer, Benjamin couldn't put his mind at ease.
What does this attitude mean?
What exactly did she find?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head again and glanced at the people nearby. Fortunately, the people around me didn't seem to be attracted by the conversation just now, and they were still chatting about each other, and they didn't care.
There shouldn't be some rumors like "Benjamin was transferred".
Then, the only problem he wants to solve is Elizabeth in front of him.
"Why do you say I'm not Benjamin?"
"Because my gut tells me you're not Benjamin. Elizabeth still stared at her as if she couldn't blink, "But don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Even if I tell someone, they won't believe it. β
Benjamin was speechless.
Can he really not worry?
Obviously, judging from her answer, this girl has already recognized Benjamin's identity. He didn't know how she did it, but he couldn't let it go.
But......
What could he do? Kill this girl?
Just as Benjamin hesitated, Elizabeth glanced at Benjamin a few more times. Suddenly, she opened her mouth again.
"Aren't you going to invite me to dance? Let's go dance on the second floor." She raised her eyebrows with a look of expectation, "After tonight, I'll be leaving Havenley." It was the first time I wanted to dance at a drinking party, and of course, it was the last time. β
Hearing this, Benjamin was a little puzzled.
She's leaving the royal capital tonight? What does she mean by that?
He couldn't guess the girl's intentions at all.
"I can't dance, and I'm going to stomp your feet a lot. As he thought, he said as he excused himself.
"It's okay, I don't mind. Elizabeth replied. As she spoke, she took Benjamin's arm and pulled him to the upper floor.
Benjamin was a little overwhelmed.
What's the matter? Is he really going to dance with this girl?
In his hesitation, he did not make any major resistance. Elizabeth's action in pulling him was also unusually firm, quite unexpected to him.
In the blink of an eye, he was taken up to the second floor of Rose's restaurant by Elizabeth.
On the second floor of the restaurant, there is a fairly spacious ballroom, and many aristocratic men and women have already entered the dance floor and danced in pairs. A band is on the dance floor, and several violinists play the violin, playing elegant and cheerful pieces one after another.
Before Benjamin could excuse himself, Elizabeth was pulled onto the dance floor.
On the dance floor, a pair of men and women swirled around them, and the girls' long hair fluttered like a splash of water. Benjamin was in the middle of it, feeling like a crow breaking into a flock of geese, a little helpless.
"I ...... Really can't dance. β
Elizabeth looked at him and nodded, her eyes bright.
"It's okay, and neither will I. β
As she spoke, she took Benjamin's hand and tried to guide Benjamin into that ballroom dance pose. Benjamin didn't know what to do, but on the dance floor, he had to learn from the people around him and clumsily do that pose.
He raised his hands, holding each other's hands with one hand and holding the other's arms with the other.
That's when it happened.
After a loud high note from the violin, the music stops abruptly.
On the dance floor, the dancing men and women also perform the closing moves. Then, they stopped dancing and began to spread out in the surroundings, as if it was halftime and everyone was ready to take a break.
Benjamin was stunned.
The end of this tune?
Elizabeth turned her head and glanced at the band on the dance floor who had put down their instruments for a break, and showed a somewhat disappointed expression.
"Everywhere I go, I can't be liked. β
She shook her head, and with a somewhat regretful tone, she suddenly said, "Forget it, you don't want to dance with me anyway." I'm leaving, you don't have to worry I'll tell anyone about tonight, it's my last night in the royal capital. β
With that, she let go of Benjamin's arm, turned, and took a step, as if she was really leaving.
"You ......," Benjamin called out a little dazed, but didn't know what to say.
Hearing this, Elizabeth stopped, turned her head, and smiled at him.
"There are several rooms in the corridor from the second floor to the balcony on the roof, and you must not go to the sixth room to see it. β
Leaving this inexplicable sentence, she took a step, walked to the stairs, went downstairs, and left.
What, what?
Benjamin was confused.
"Alas. Suddenly, the system spoke out in his heart, and said in a tone that hated iron and steel, "You fool, you are destined to be lonely all your life." β
β......β
Benjamin suddenly came back to his senses and found that he was the only one on the dance floor, stupidly holding out his hand. Sensing the strange gazes of the others, he hurriedly walked out of the dance floor.
After thinking about it, he walked to the stairs, went downstairs, and came to the hall on the first floor.
The first floor of the reception is still the same, the aroma of food is permeated, the crowds are crowded, and the chatting is chaotic but not noisy. Benjamin stood at the top of the stairs and glanced around the crowd, no longer seeing Elizabeth.
She's really gone.
I don't know why, Benjamin suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.
How...... Inexplicable.
Distracted, he walked down the hall.
Some of the faces of the people around them have begun to show a drunken flush, and the topics they talk about have begun to change from innocuous food and entertainment to breaking news between families.
Strangely, Benjamin was in no mood to listen.
Why?
Suddenly, he set his eyes on the table at hand.
Benjamin suddenly realized.
Because he was hungry.
He hadn't eaten dinner yet, so no wonder he had this strange feelingβhe was so hungry that his mind was not clear.
Thinking of this, he no longer cared about his image, picked up a plate of steak, and immediately took a big bite on it. As he ate, he took a glass of champagne from a passing waiter's plate and drank it down.
It's so cool!
Feeling the bubbles spread in his mouth with a spicy taste, Benjamin sighed heartily.
"Big fool, note the lonely life. But in his mind, with a somewhat helpless tone, the system said.
