"Siryl, why are you still so young!"

At the end of the long corridor, bypassing the garden tower and stepping into the upper area, I was surprised to hear crisp horseshoes from far to near outside the relief corridor.

Oncoming was a dome-topped carriage, which was even more indescribable than the one that Henry VIII picked up and dropped off, because it was pink and white all over!The exquisite hollowed-out carvings are full of dreamy colors. The door handle is not only outlined with gold patterns but also inlaid with green jade. The trim is made of elegant and thin powder gauze. , the bell-shaped glass lights at the four corners of the car swayed, the sound of bells and gauze flying, and the fragrance of flowers filled the road, just like running out of a fairy tale.

Earl Robin, who only wears a blue dress shirt and a gray vest, is acting as a driver. He is the eldest son of the Queen's cousin, the Duke of Kent. Beard, so when he laughed heartily, the wanton corners of his eyes and brows always curled up in an unexplainable awkwardness. Sitting in the carriage was his 11-year-old only daughter, Miss Ophelia.

Robin let go of the rein and jumped out of the carriage gracefully. While teasing Cyril, he opened the door and handed it to his daughter.Ophelia took her father's hand and walked out of the car gracefully. Not only did she look exactly like her mother, who was called Irish Lily, but she even had the same gentle temperament. She walked up to Cyril and picked up her skirt as a standard court etiquette. : "Good day, Your Excellency the Duke."

Strictly speaking, this honorific name really has to be used.Although Cyril and the royal family belong to the same bloodline of the Anglo-Saxon royal family, they belong to different branches.Regardless of the inside story behind the political war situation hundreds of years ago, when Queen Irma decided to pass the throne to Edward's subordinates instead of her eldest daughter, it meant that the situation could not be reversed.Among the Dukes of Silvermoon in the past, Cyril is the closest to the royal family. The entire royal court regards him as the queen's son-in-law. The generation of the same age does not mind it, but the younger generations should have The honorific title is still necessary.

"Good day." When Cyril returned the salute, Sharon had already slipped off him and rushed towards the carriage with bright eyes.

"My birthday present?" The little princess looked around and touched, and finally leaned on the carved door, turned her head and asked in a milky voice.

The earl smiled: "Half and half."

Peidi watched eagerly from the sidelines, with tears in the corners of his eyes: "What about mine?"

Robin laughed and pointed to the horse in front of him.So now everyone understood that half was in Xue Lun's hands, and the other half should belong to her no matter whether it belonged to her in name or not. Seeing the dumbfounded look of the little prince, they couldn't help laughing.

Cyril walked down the aisle, bent down and threw Sharon and Paddy onto the half-foot-thick cushion in the carriage, then handed Ophelia her hand to board the carriage again. Robin was on the other side. The door was easily closed.The two men stood in the sun and the green grass and looked at each other and smiled.The earl opened his mouth naturally and wantonly, and what belongs to Cyril is always so indifferent that it almost does not exist.

"God always loves you more," Robin sighed again, pointing to the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, "Look, after all these years, you are still the same."

Xi Ruier glanced at him lightly, not missing where he came from: "The doctor hasn't come out yet?"

In recent years, the Queen's health has been unwell. In order to save effort, there is always a certain amount of people she sees every day.People with noble status such as princes and princesses have to wait for the routine time to see them, and other qualified people have to wait for the time arrangement after handing over the name cards. As for Robin, who is separated by another floor, it will save the number of gifts You don't have to worry about anything else when you wait for a face-to-face meeting at the evening banquet.

"Not yet... Anyway, the prince is with you. If you are going there, just meet me directly." The words were a bit sour, "No matter what time you are, the queen always treats you differently."

Xi Ruier raised his eyebrows slightly, his whole body remained calm, and he didn't look honored at all.

"Where are you taking them?"

"The racecourse." The count made a face at the naughty princess who was lying on the car window and reached out to reach Cyril's hair, "Come over after seeing the queen?"

Cyril turned her head, and Sharon's hands froze in mid-air, blinking her eyes and showing a flattering smile.He stretched out his hand and shook the soft fleshy hand: "Well, see you later."

Seeing the carriage clanging and going away, Xi Ruier stretched out his other hand.

On the white gloves were a few black rose petals that the little princess plucked off without her noticing.The housekeeper, Naiden, was so familiar that he took out a white handkerchief from the collar, wrapped the petals, and was ready to hand it out for testing when he had an opportunity.Although he didn't understand why his master always had an inexplicable fear of black roses, it was enough for him to know what he should do.

When Cyril arrived, the doctor had already left, and the queen and the prince were walking in the small garden hand in hand.

He glanced from a distance, but did not approach.On the one hand, he didn't want to be an eyesore, and on the other hand, he met an unexpected person.At the round table with vines and roses, with his back to him, sat a woman in a long black dress.The soft satin fabric is woven with layers of gauze skirts, the same color belt is forged into a rose shape, and the centermost flower is sealed with a black diamond.

— That's Princess Margaret.

Queen's sister Margaret.I haven't seen this princess for about six or seven years, but when I saw her again, I recognized her immediately.There is only a three-year difference between the queen and the queen, but she looks much younger than the queen.In memory, she has always been a pale and weak woman, that kind of beauty, with a kind of morbid tranquility and elegance, as if the sediment deposited by the years has been washed away by time, and she has returned to her original nature. Even with the aging of time, she is still beautiful. unimaginable.

This may have something to do with her wearing dark-colored clothing all the time.Avoiding the secular world, getting away from the troubles, and guarding one side of the world safely, the water and soil of Ireland have nurtured her immortal beauty.Just take a look and you will know that even if she is all in black, she can eclipse all the colorful beauty.

Cyril met her sideways gaze, bowed respectfully and saluted: "Good day, Your Highness."

Princess Margaret just smiled at him, didn't get up, and didn't speak.

When the line of sight touched something, Cyril's eyes flickered slightly, and immediately there was no wave.He was surprised to find that instead of a brooch, there was a black rose pinned to her skirt.

A large bouquet of bright red roses was slowly placed in the vase on the round table, but the one on her chest was black.

Princess Margaret will always be accompanied by roses.Perhaps the reason why Sharon Peddy replaced lilies with roses this year was because of this Highness in front of him.

If it was her, it seemed that he shouldn't be so arbitrarily sure that there was something wrong with this rose?

After dealing with the big mess of the royal family, he didn't even bother to return to the territory, so he ran away exhausted.

After all, Aurora doesn't have much time left for her coming-of-age ceremony.

When he was still some distance away from Kane's private house, he got out of the car and walked slowly forward.Isaac in the sunset always has a unique beauty. He has not stopped thinking and calculating during this period of time. It is true that his tense nerves have not been so quiet for a long time.

Haven't reached the door yet.Aurora came up to meet her.The girl wore a red skirt as usual, and ran over like a ball of flames. Because she ran a little too fast, her cheeks were flushed, and the afterglow of the evening fell on her body, as if it also dyed her with a faint golden glow.

It can be seen that she should have been very happy when she saw him, but when she really came in front of him, when she met his eyes, all the joy merged into a quiet word: "Your Excellency." She Holding the skirt, she said softly, "Welcome back."

The light and shadow were slightly scattered in Xi Ruier's eyes. For a moment, he even felt that the witch who would fascinate all living beings in the future was already standing in front of him, speaking to him softly.

Find Mrs. Wendy in the piano room.He stood at the door and listened to her finish playing Liszt's etude "Bell".He just nodded slightly, without saying thank you, for fear that she would not accept it.

Served together for dinner.Cyril observes Aurora's mood.It can be seen that he didn't like Mrs. Wendy very much at first, but after he came back, he even hated her existence.Even if it was well concealed, how could Cyril fail to see her when he saw her big all the way.

After dinner, Aurora and Mrs. Wendy still had some routine conversations.Cyril called Lei in to ask about Aurora's studies during this time.As expected, Mrs. Wendy first corrected Aurora's errors in social and etiquette knowledge. After all, the things taught by the special teachers are dead, and some things are no more eye-catching than real experience.In recent days, she began to take Aurora to visit old friends and go to some public places—she understood why Cyril chose her to be the girl's guide. Her biggest advantage lies in her connections and reputation. How can she help Aurora obviously speaks for itself.

While Lei was still telling the details, Aurora had already bid farewell to Mrs. Wendy and came to look for Cyril.

Sure enough, the existence of a female guide is necessary.Before there was Wendy, Aurora had unknowingly learned Cyril's indifference and aloofness, and the softness of women turned into sharp edges and corners. With a guide, Aurora finally learned how to show her charm.No matter how much she doesn't like Mrs. Wendy, she probably knows the reason why this lady is admirable and admirable. Therefore, in the contact and communication between each other, there are always some things that are subtle, which makes Xi Ruier the most. What is satisfying is the kind of self-confidence that Aurora shows today, a thick and irrefutable self-confidence.

She seems to be only short of experience from "witch".

"Excuse me."

"No, please don't say that, as long as it is your wish, I am willing to obey it."

Cyril was relieved immediately.

The arrangement required for the entire coming-of-age ceremony was supported by Aurora, with Mrs. Wendy as a reference, so he didn't have to worry at all.How to arrange the banquet hall, how to choose the guests, how to write the invitation... Cyril completely retreated behind the scenes to watch.

I thought this coming-of-age ceremony would be peaceful.Because the purpose of its existence is only to warn people of this class that the current owner of the Kane family has grown up, and all affairs will be gradually taken over by her. She intends to make friends, but does not intend to become familiar with her——Syril is so full of ambition After waiting for the good show to start, then the gods block and kill the gods and Buddhas to block and kill the Buddha.

Unexpectedly, a banquet caught him almost by surprise.

Maybe it was a hidden reminder, he could see it at a glance!Isn't the boy standing in front of Aurora asking to dance now the one who slipped through the net in his previous cannon fodder investigation? !

Fuck, the fateful drama started from this night!

The author has something to say: 11.12

In fact, some of the events that happened in the royal court were omitted earlier... The author thought carefully, this paragraph has little to do with the answer to the mystery, and it is important to write about the royal family later - and it is estimated that not many people like to watch it, and the next repertoire is even more important. Wonderful, just gorgeous and skip the bird~
