After playing the first movement, the conductor of the chamber orchestra suddenly announced a break.It was a freewheeling team of two violins, a viola, a cello, and a good conductor—Anse heard that the cellists were equally good at playing the piano, though that skill was rarely used. Come in handy.Several times, Ansai felt that the baton was about to hit him on the nose, and barely avoided it, drawing a powerful arc in the air with the momentum of sweeping thunder.

The members of the orchestra are all young men, and they are especially good at grand and magnificent themes, so they are especially sought after by the noble ladies of Matilda.

Ansai's seat was next to Belika, and a whole chocolate cake and black tea were placed on the small table in front of the two of them. In order to achieve the best effect of the music, they had to give up the garden, the breeze and the comfortable sunshine, Choose the place for afternoon tea in a room with curtains drawn.He listened to the first movement patiently, restless in his heart, and wanted to go to the training ground and brandish a machete to fight Auden to the death, but he still needed to maintain an intoxicated smile on his face.The black tea was almost finished, but no one touched the cake. The character of humility engraved in his bones made Ansai decide that he must wait until his sister moved him before eating.To be honest, he was really greedy. He glanced at Belika who was sitting next to him out of the corner of his eye, only to see her little finger twitch.

Several musicians half a meter away from the small table were chattering and arguing about something. Before the performance started, Ansai turned his body slightly and asked, "Would you like to taste some cake?"

Belika hesitated for a moment and asked him, "Excuse me, is it proper to eat while enjoying the performance?"

At Fredka's annual musical performance, Bradrick III never allowed everyone to do anything but listen, let alone have a snack.

"But..." Ansai said, "Aren't we at tea time now? Listening to music is just an added pastime, and no one will accuse us of such things."

Belika nodded and said "hmm" very lightly, Ansai took the table knife from the small bamboo basket next to her and prepared to divide the cake.But this cake was too big, bigger than the basins that the maids used to wash their clothes. Even if they were directly filled with candles and brought to Auden's birthday party, it would not feel out of place at all.He had no choice but to turn around again and ask Belika's opinion: "How big a piece do you want?"

"Is it that big?" He made a gesture, and then brought his hands together slightly, "Is this big enough?"

"Just do what you want." Belika said softly with her head lowered.

"They have never sent me such a big cake." The little prince explained, "If I can't eat dinner because I eat too much, His Royal Highness Mandel... will beat me."

Belika exclaimed in amazement: "There is such a thing!" Although she had heard some rumors from the maid and witnessed Aldrizzi's behavior with her own eyes, this was the first time Ansai brought this matter up. Putting it on the bright side, she briefly interrupted the discussion of the musicians, and they all looked in the direction of the two of them.She was ashamed of her gaffe, but it didn't take long for them to continue arguing, allowing her to barely preserve her image.

Ansai said again: "He beat me, and I beat him too. Our bedroom collapsed once because of this, and I repaired it later."

His eyes were fixed on the chocolate cake, but he didn't move the knife. From Belika's perspective, his side face was delicate and immature, like a man who couldn't solve a simple math problem, sitting in a corner and sulking alone, And the child who is obsessed with finding the answer.

"I want so much." She imitated Ansai's gesture just now and drew a small triangle, and finally saw a little smile in the eyes of the child in front of her.

Ansai cut a big piece for himself and a small piece for Belika, and the maid waiting outside filled up the black tea for them before the orchestra resumed their performance.Every note they played was soothing and soft, like a hero who returned from victory and hid in his room to sleep in because he was too tired. Ansai became sleepy after listening to it for a while. The cake smelled more and more sweet, which made him suffer from greedy insects while he was half asleep and half awake.

Just at this moment, there was a loud bang from the door, followed by loud and exaggerated footsteps, and Oden rushed in wearing a black suit that looked fierce.

"You should take a good look at where the hour hand of the clock is pointing now!" He said viciously, "What I hate the most is a person like you who has no sense of time!"

Looking at Ansai's sluggish expression, he felt a little amused in his heart, but he also knew that if he laughed out loud now, he would not be able to laugh again when he returned to the bedroom, so he could only endure it.But when Ansai said "I'm sorry", he still chose to interrupt the other party's words - the little prince can be cold, arrogant, and can say a lot of bad things to him, but he can't do anything wrong Under the premise of saying such humble words to him.He wanted to pull Ansai over and take him away, but his hands hadn't touched him—Oden was sure that he hadn't touched him, when he suddenly heard a crisp sound, like a person who had just finished bathing and was covered in blood. The sound of a wet man slipping on a marble floor.That big innocent hand appeared on Ansai's left cheek at some point, and was pressed down by the opponent's hand.

At that moment, Auden could feel a pinprick of fear and bewildered emotions intertwined, they were almost solidified, rushing straight from his weightless stomach to his brain.

Unbelievable, he actually became the first man in the Mandel family to beat his spouse.Ansai's face with red palm prints was like a badge that had been baked on the fire for a long time, and it was burned to the bottom of his eyes with a "stab" sound, and the ugly and hideous scars spread to the part of the brain that is in charge of memory. part, so that all his memories of the past 20 years have been cast a layer of gray color.

Belika covered her face with her hands, her fingers were long and slender, without any excess fat, like many vines growing in one direction from different angles, criss-crossing, covering the lower half of her face in the shadow middle.

"How can you do that!" she said.Compared with Ansai, Belika's voice was a little softer and softer, without much deterrent force, and could easily be ignored in a noisy environment, she said again, "How can you hit him!"

Ansai could hear some panic and sadness from Belika's tone, and he felt puzzled and slightly at a loss.Belika's brows were tightly frowned, her eyes were slightly red, and her thin shoulders caused her hands to tremble. Against the backdrop of the dark red velvet curtains behind her, she looked like a heroine about to perform on stage.Just when he was about to let go of Auden's hand, the heroine suddenly stood up from the chair and rushed towards the two of them.

She tried to knock Oden away, but failed, because Oden was more stable than the winter melon in the kitchen, the boxy king of winter melons.

This reminded Ansai of a long time ago - when he just started to learn about magic, his childish and lacking common sense head was empty, he didn't know how to please the elements, and he couldn't understand even the simplest potion book. formula.At that time, Belika's magical talent had not been sentenced to death. After all, it was impossible for a weak five-year-old child to be favored by too many elements.But there are far fewer elements at her disposal than other children, and she can't even use some of the most basic magic.

Six-year-old Belika is not as meek as she is now. Whenever other children are reading story books after class, she always wears a black robe and goes into the attic without lights or servants. afternoon.At that time, the queen mother was seriously ill, and the news that the father's new lover was pregnant had already been reported. No one was willing to spend energy to take care of these two children who were about to fall out of favor. As an older sister, Belika took all the responsibility of taking care of her younger brother on herself Ansai sat in the corner of the attic and summoned all the elements he could use to illuminate the two of them.

At that time, Belika would still resist, would spare no effort, and would fantasize about a beautiful but illusory love. She had her own ideals, and she had made immature plans for the future. She had not been tortured by loneliness, neglect, and indifference A body remained.

It was exactly the same as now, even though she was facing an opponent who was absolutely invincible by her own strength.

"Don't do that again!" she cried.Her eyes were very bright, extremely bright, as if she wanted to take out all the combustibles left in her body and ignite them, without caring about what would happen after they were all burned out.

"I'm fine." Ansai pushed Oden away a little, creating a short safe distance between this silly winter melon and Belika.The shape of his mouth changed and changed, and finally he called her name.

The weather was fine on this day, the sun at [-]:[-] was no longer as harsh as in the afternoon, the heat was steaming, and the evening wind was humid and scented with flowers.They were all sticky when they arrived at the bedroom, but they were not in a hurry to take a bath.

Auden stood in the entrance thinking about something, even forgot to take off his shoes; Ansai was beside him, holding half a glass of boiled water in a daze, the bright red palm print on his face had long since disappeared, and on the way back he As explained to Auden, it was all a sham.

"I feel like I've done something wrong," he said.

Auden looked at him without saying a word, but there was approval in his eyes, like a well-trained soldier who would follow Ansai to apologize for the wrong things together as soon as Ansai gave an order.

"Go." General Ansai gave the order, and waited for the cooperation of the soldier Auden with his head held high. "Apologize, explain everything clearly, and then think about it..."

"Your Highness! Your Highness!" A man wearing a green robe representing a messenger suddenly rushed over, panting heavily while shouting eagerly, "Your Majesty sent me to ask you why His Majesty the King of Greeria would suddenly bring Appeared outside the royal city with troops?"

The author has something to say:

Catch up!yeah!

Ansai would come up with this method, firstly because Belika deliberately didn't get close to him in order to avoid suspicion when he was a child, so he always believed that there was only a blood relationship between the two; secondly, he lived in a competitive environment since he was a child In life, he subconsciously thinks that "winning" will make people happy, and it is the most happy thing, so in his heart, his marriage and his sister's marriage are in a state of competition. If he loses, then his sister just won.

But now he knew he was wrong, but time never waits for anyone.
