Violet Orchestra

"What?" Elaine thought there was something wrong with her ears.

"Of course it's not really moaning." Seeing his seriousness, Violet couldn't help laughing, "It's just a signal to you, nothing really happened, okay?"

Elaine obviously didn't believe it, but seeing his firm attitude, she had no choice but to agree silently.

Glorious or not, Elaine willing or not, there was no denying that it worked.Under Violet's tactic of sacrificing his own hue to delay time, Hodge successfully touched the secret room in the Brono estate, and found something useful from it.At the same time that Elaine broke into the room and took Violet away on the grounds of urgency, he had already passed through the patrol route of the guards with that thing and returned to the palace smoothly.

"Did you get it?" Petra and Birkins came back later than Hodge because they had to deal with the little tail behind them. Seeing that Violet and Elaine were still missing, Petra cared about them again The head of the group said, "Where is Violet, did she really sacrifice herself?"

"I saw him and Elaine when I came back." Hodge shrugged, "but the two of them don't know where they are now, maybe they found a place to quarrel—speaking of it, how did Elaine treat Violet like this?" Such a big opinion on the plan? At most, Violet was being taken advantage of by his uncle, and it has nothing to do with him."

"..." Petra was speechless at his obtuseness, and decided to leave the burden of explanation to Birkins.

Meanwhile, Violet tries to calm Elaine.He knew that Elaine had agreed reluctantly from the very beginning, fearing that he would break into the room ahead of time and destroy the plan, so he intentionally delayed the timing of sending the "signal" during the actual implementation, so the picture Elaine saw when he entered the door... ...maybe a bit bad for him.

In fact, it was nothing, Violet coaxed him as he recalled, thinking that Elaine was making a big fuss—it was just that he sat on Brono’s lap and drank a glass of wine, and he didn’t think it was anything, Elaine would be like this Not happy, not even talking to him for an entire hour, it was beyond his expectation.

"Actually, I don't understand why you're angry." In the end, he could only sit on the chair opposite Elaine and sigh, and for the first time he had the feeling that he was in a relationship with the prince, "It's just normal for me and you agreed in advance... Elaine, if you are unhappy about this, I hope you can tell me why, otherwise I don't know whether to continue to coax you or put you aside Whichever is better."

He seldom bothered trying to coax his date, since most of the time he didn't have to, so he felt awkward doing it himself.During the hour when Elaine was having a temper tantrum with him, he thought about it, and wondered if he spoiled her too much, so much time could be wasted to ease up if a small incident happened.But in the end, he found sadly that he was the one being indulged. Elaine was usually so submissive to him that he even forgot that the other party was so much younger than him.

But the words had already been spoken, and he couldn't take them back. He looked up at Elaine with regret, and decided to go to Hodge and the others first, so that the young man could calm down by himself.

He stood up and walked towards the door, but just as he put his hand on the doorknob, someone hugged him behind him.

"...I'm sorry." Elaine muffled in his ear.

"Actually, you don't need to apologize to me," Violet didn't know what to say, so she stood still and let him hug her, "I just want to know why you are angry... I haven't had a regular date for a long time, maybe I did Not so good, but you have to say it, or I won't know."

He felt the young man's warm breath hit the side of his neck, leaving a little wetness, and suddenly realized that Elaine might be crying, so he subconsciously wanted to look back at him.But Elaine buried her face in his neck, and after taking a deep breath, she said softly, "I shouldn't use my own standards to ask you...I really should apologize."

Violet listened to him in silence.

"I know I'm irrational. You wouldn't have been hunted down. The reason why you went to investigate my uncle was because of me." Elaine whispered, "I also promised you to cooperate before the action, so I kept telling you You have to calm down, but when I saw you being hugged by your uncle, I still felt very upset... I know it's wrong."

He repeatedly emphasized that he did not do well, but Violet became more soft-hearted, and couldn't help saying, "Actually, I also have something wrong."

He clearly promised Elaine to send a signal to let him in in time, but he still delayed a lot in order to delay more time. The scene that Elaine ran into when he entered the door seemed nothing to him, but it might seem to young people. A little too much - he should think about Elaine.

"I like you so much." Elaine muffled herself in his ear, "That's why I always want to keep you where I can see, I don't want you to go anywhere, let alone let you go for me Pretending to be on a date with your uncle. You didn't have to do it, but I got mad at you, sorry Violet."

Although he couldn't see his expression, for some reason, Violet always felt that his eyes were red, and the dissatisfaction that had been aired for an hour was washed away by Elaine's apology, leaving only helplessness and soft-heartedness .He raised his hand to touch the young man's head buried in his neck, and said softly: "Since we all have things that are not good enough, can we forgive each other?"

Elaine didn't speak, but the arms around him loosened, allowing him to turn and face her.Violet turned around and held his face to make him look up. Seeing that the corners of his eyes were red, she felt annoyed and amused: "It's just a small matter, don't worry about it, why are you still crying? "

"...I'm sorry." Elaine reached out and wiped her nose, feeling that her performance might be a bit too embarrassing.

"If something like this happens in the future, you can tell me your dissatisfaction directly, so you don't have to sulk." Violet helplessly wiped the corners of his eyes with her thumb, thinking that she not only brought a little lover, but also It's like raising a son, "After all, we don't use the same head. If you don't say it, I may never think of it, understand?"

Elaine nodded obediently.

It's finally over.Violet breathed a sigh of relief, washed and tidied up in Elaine's room, and then remembered Hodge and the others who were still hanging in his room, so he planned to go back and see the results of sacrificing his hue in exchange.

If he was sorry for the more than an hour of flirting with Mr. Brono and the more than an hour of sulking with Elaine, he might ask Hodge to go back and steal again.

Hodge was popularized by Birkins about Violet's new relationship. He was halfway through the story when the protagonist No. [-] pushed the door and entered the room, followed by the innocent No. [-] protagonist, so he couldn't help it. Ask: "You have been out for so long, what have you been doing?"

"It didn't do what you thought anyway." Violet rolled her eyes, and put the snacks from the kitchen on the table, "Tell me, what did you gain in the manor? You came back so early, it seems We must have found what we were looking for."

Being briefly and rudely diverted from the topic by him, Hodge and Birkins looked at each other, feeling that they saw a little bit of embarrassment turning into anger in the poet's eyes.Considering that it has been delayed for a long time, Hodge did not continue to tease him, but kindly took out something from his pocket and put it on the table for everyone to see: "I found a secret room in the manor , there are some incomprehensible manuscripts and old books, and some materials and stones piled up on the ground in a mess, it looks like it should be the basement of Mrs. Brono's wife."

"So why didn't you bring back the manuscripts and old books?" Petra glanced at the things on the table, "Compared with this, those are more proof that she is indeed a mage apprentice."

Hodge shook his head: "I can't understand those old books, and I guess Mr. Brono can't understand them either. There is a thick layer of dust on the bookshelf, and it seems that no one has read them for a long time-but this I was more interested in the mirror, which was wiped clean and placed on the table in a velvet-padded box that looked as though it had been put in recently."

"Rorsalia hasn't sold such a mirror for a long time," Elaine looked at the small silver hand mirror, feeling a little puzzled, "This is at least a style that was popular more than 30 years ago, and I only saw it in my mother's box." The mirror she used when she was a child."

"It really doesn't look like a recent thing." Petra pointed them to look at the worn pattern on the handle, "Someone has used it for a long time, but it is well preserved, and the mirror surface has not been scratched... But this mirror looks very Ordinarily, Mr. Brono is not short of money, why should he put it in the secret room like a treasure..."

"Because this is a magical mirror." Before Petra could finish speaking, Violet, who had been silent all this time, interrupted her abruptly.

The eyes of the others were all focused on him immediately.

"You know this mirror?" Birkins asked suspiciously.

The hand mirror lay quietly on the table, and the mirror reflected the ceiling of the room they were in. No one touched it, and it looked like an ordinary mirror, without any abnormalities.But Violet didn't doubt his memory at all. In fact, the moment he saw Hodge take out the mirror, he almost couldn't help himself and wanted to rush up and smash it.

But in the end he just took a few deep breaths, pushed the mirror into an empty box through his sleeve, and locked it firmly with a lock: "I don't know it, but you'd better not touch it, Mr. Brono is probably Using this mirror to see the whole process of us grabbing the butler, it's not something we can use."

Even he himself didn't realize that after seeing this mirror, even his speech became somewhat inconsistent, showing unprecedented panic and fear.Petra vaguely guessed something, but didn't say it out, just patted the back of his hand, took the box and put it away.

"Since you said so, then we won't touch it." She glanced at Elaine who was standing beside her, motioned him to appease Violet, and took the box and walked out first, "I'm tired today too." Well, you rest well, we will discuss how to deal with it tomorrow."

Violet also knew that her mood swings were too obvious, so she smiled weakly after recovering, and acquiesced to her suggestion: "Thank you."

Petra waved to him, and after Birkins and Hodge left the room, she closed the door for them outside.
