Although Isabel did not bother to introduce Dio to her classmates one by one, but the occasion of the cocktail party is not necessarily a good place to pick up girls, not to mention the female students who come to Stantis College for further study, all of them are either rich or expensive, and their vision is much higher than that of ordinary people, and if they want to attract the attention of girls here, they must not only be handsome and noble enough, but also have outstanding strength.

Isabel's classmates are very enthusiastic, but that's just politeness, there is always a trace of imperceptible alienation hidden in the laughter, in fact, they have been systematically educated since childhood, and they will not easily offend anyone, everyone understands the reason why people carry people in a sedan chair, unless they are very disgusted with each other. Of course, in the face of emergencies, some of these girls do not react much stronger than ordinary people, how can they see rainbows without experiencing wind and rain, and the flowers grown in the greenhouse have too many weaknesses, and the lady that Dio and the others met a few days ago is an example.

If it was in the calm wilderness, the baroness would not have taken advantage of the others, at least she could keep the peace, but in a desperate situation, the baroness did something she shouldn't do.

Raymond walked around the garden, although he always had a smile on his face, but his heart was bruised, and no matter who he was with, the other party only responded with a few decent words, and then laughed with his sisters, left him aside, and then had to look for the next target.

Gordon's melancholy development plan was also thwarted, and he quietly looked up at the deep night sky, and set up a shelf for a long time, but no one came to pay attention to him. Although Gordon looks like a contemplative philosopher at this moment, the time of 'philosopher' is too long, and there is a lot of laughter and laughter around him, which is incompatible with the atmosphere of the drinking party, and the profundity has become lonely and pitiful.

Dio was the only one who got the attention of others, at least, from Isabel.

After chatting with her classmates, Isabel walked back, naturally poured a glass of wine for Theo, and smiled: "You never drink, try it, it's a pink temptation, you can't drink it anywhere else." ”

Dio couldn't shirk it, so he took the glass and took a sip gently: "Stuffed with cherries?"

"Hmm. Isabel laughed, "You're amazing, you guessed it at once." ”

"It tastes good. Dio slowly shook the wine glass in his hand, in fact, when Isabel noticed Dio's abnormality, Dio also sensed Isabel's gaze, remembering the first conversation, Isabel asked him directly where he came from, at the time it felt a little abrupt, but now I vaguely understand, maybe Sophia was studying at Santis College, and Isabel mentioned herself, but that Xueni didn't seem to know anything, which means that Isabel and Sophia are very close.

"I'm a little tired. Isabel glanced around: "Dio, will you sit with me over there?"

"Okay. Dio nodded, he had a good impression of Isabel, not to mention the performance in the battle at that time, Isabel had a good attitude towards Ellie, never showed a swaggering look, and, in Sophia's eyes, she would never easily make friends with others, she was able to approach Isabel and prove that Isabel had something worth befriending.

The two men walked into a small pavilion one after the other, and Gordon glanced in this direction, then turned his head back and continued to be melancholy......

"Dio, what kind of place are you?" asked Isabel as she sat down on the bench.

"The Crystal City. Dio said softly.

"Do you know Sophia?" Isabel's question was like a whimsical one, and it changed too quickly.

"I don't know. Dio's expression did not have any flaws, and he showed a look of surprise at the right time: "Why did you suddenly ask me this question?"

"Two of your friends are very interested in Sophia and have asked me a lot about Sophia. Isabel laughed, "You're acting too calm, a little ...... Abnormal. ”

"Abnormal?"

"Man......" Isabel's eyes turned into a crescent moon with a smile, and she covered her mouth with her hand: "When you hear that there are such excellent girls, they will always surround you like flies, but you don't look interested in the slightest, it's really not normal...... Unless, you're not a man, or you've known Sophia for a long time. ”

"The flies you are talking about include my two friends, right?" Dio smiled bitterly, he had a headache, this little girl was very difficult to fool, "If they heard it, they would be heartbroken." ”

"Don't talk about them, talk about yourself. Isabel smiled even more: "What do you think?"

"What do you think?"

"You get the idea. Isabir pouted.

"Look at the girls. Dio's gaze turned to the garden: "To me, they are all high, delicate princesses, what can I think? ”

"Really?"

"Honestly. Dio nodded, his expression very sincere.

"I've also been to the Crystal City, and it's a very beautiful city. Isabel changed the subject again.

"Of course. Dio showed a hint of pride at the right time.

"Do you know what I like most about the Crystal City?" Isabel asked.

"What?"

"Wind chimes made of crystal are hung in every house, and when a light breeze blows, the rows of wind chimes will make a pleasant song, which is simply wonderful......" Isabel looked at Dio with a smile: "Don't you think so?"

Dio was stunned, he knew that this was a temptation, but he couldn't answer quickly, nodded, he was worried that this was something made up by Isabelle, shaking his head, if it was really a crystal wind chime, how could he not have heard the bell?

I knew that it was better to say that I was from Duita Town, although it was only a few hundred miles away from the manor, but he could hold on and not let go, but now there was no room for maneuver.

You hesitate for three seconds, giggle...... Well, I won't ask, so as not to embarrass you. Isabel let out a crisp laugh.

Dio let out a long breath, his back softened from being polite, and he leaned lazily back on the bench, Isabel was far smarter than he expected, and there was no need.

"Why did you suddenly think of leaving your hometown and coming out to be an adventurer?" asked Isabel curiously.

"I crave power. Dio said lightly.

Isabel was silent for a moment: "I can understand. ”

"Understood?"

"How strong she is, how much pressure you have. Isabel said softly.

Dio stopped talking, he craved power, not because of the pressure Sophia had put on him, but for those secrets that remained in the depths of his memory.

However, he didn't need to explain.

"Does she know?" asked Isabel again.

Dio shook his head.

"You sneaked out?" Isabel couldn't help frowning, "That's not good......

Dio didn't speak, just smiled and looked at Isabel.

Isabel's face suddenly turned red, she understood what Dio meant, a few days ago, she also secretly ran out, thinking that she could make great achievements by her own ability, but she was captured by the tribal warriors, everyone is half a pound and eight taels, no one should pretend to be mature and steady.

"I always feel ...... There seems to be some misunderstanding between you and her. Isabel repeated her old trick and changed the subject again.

"Misunderstanding?"

"Yes, I have a fiancé, and every time I think of him and the future, I have a sweet feeling. Isabel said softly: "But in her, I can't see the vision for the future, there is no sweetness, all I can see is heaviness and worry, she is very tired, really tired." ”

"I know she has so much to do. Dio said, "This is not a misunderstanding. ”

"Last month, she sent me a letter. Isabel said, "She said in her letter that the Baronsy had followed the advice of her second brother and decided to let her marry you, and she agreed. ”

"Yes. Dio felt helpless in his heart, Isabel's speech was too big, and if he hadn't been systematically trained, his brain would probably have been disturbed.

"I don't see the slightest sweetness in your eyes. Isabel stared at Dio: "That's your problem. ”

Dio was stunned for a long time before he smiled reluctantly, he really didn't know how to explain: "What else do you know?"

"Know a lot. Isabel said softly: "She said that you were severely frightened when you were a child, and it left a psychological shadow, so she went around looking for a healer for you, and she said that you are pathetic and someone must take care of you, and she said that it is her responsibility...... Dio, don't you resent me for saying this, and your pride hurts to be treated as a weakling, right?"

"No, I don't. Dio shook his head.

"No, then why did you sneak out? Forget it...... Don't talk about that. Isabel said, "Actually, she hasn't been able to really see herself, hehe...... It's the only time I beat her. ”

"What?" Dior didn't understand.

"I've heard your name a thousand times. Isabel smiled smugly: "When a girl puts your name on her lips every day, it's not just out of pity, believe me!"

Dio suddenly felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, is Sophia really so concerned about him?!He couldn't believe it, because when Sophia was with him, she would always say some boring things that didn't hurt, and although the relationship between the two people was close, it was too plain, like a glass of boiled water.

"It's a bit like it now......" Isabel looked at Dio with a grin, she saw the change in Dio's expression, she could feel heartache for Sophia's concern, it was nothing, the most terrible thing was indifference.

"Like what?"

"Like an abandoned resentful woman. ”

"You're talking about me?" Dior couldn't have imagined before tonight that the real Isabel was such a quirky, icy and intelligent girl.
