Comprehensive Victoria's Secret

Chapter 15 The Gift of Adulthood

Elizabeth was successfully taken away by Raul and Philip. Eric was still in the house and didn't know what to do. Elizabeth just said goodbye in a plain manner, and then returned to the theater.

The performance in the theater has stopped - the leading actor has left, the young lady of the Earl's family is also missing, Philip and Raul are in a hurry to find someone again, Estelle is running around in the room in a hurry, the moment she sees Elizabeth Walked up directly: "Liz? Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Elizabeth said calmly, "I think I have solved the secret of the opera house."

Estelle breathed a sigh of relief: "You're fine, my baby..." She came over and kissed Elizabeth on the forehead: "Thank you, Philip."

"It's all right, Aunt Estelle."

The following time in France was relatively peaceful.Until Elizabeth was hurriedly shouted again.

Since the completion of the musical, Elizabeth had one less thing to do, but she was still bored, so she started researching recipes in the kitchen when she had nothing to do—although Britain is the home of dark cuisine, French cuisine is still quite good enjoyment.

As a result, on this day, Elizabeth had just put the cake into the oven when Philip grabbed it out.

Elizabeth's expression was frantic: "What's the matter? Is there anything important?" If it was because of this guy that he burned the tooth sacrifice he had prepared so hard, Elizabeth would definitely smear his face with batter.

"This afternoon, the manager of the Paris Opera found a box in his office," Philippe said.

Philip handed the box to Elizabeth. The box was wrapped in red with a black ribbon on it. Elizabeth took the box hesitantly and continued to listen to Philip say: "They thought it was a prank, but it said to Miss Elizabeth Morgan Then the managers asked me to take it because they couldn’t make a decision, there should be no explosives in it, they have already opened the box and checked it, it’s a very strange thing.”

Elizabeth opened the box, and there was a Hidden Blade lying quietly inside, along with a note:

Miss Elizabeth Morgan:

This kind of thing is very old and delicate, but sometimes it is very easy to damage. I have made some modifications to it, I hope you can like it.

- Eric

It's Eric, not the Phantom of the Opera.Elizabeth was relieved that he had come out.

Elizabeth checked it out. Eric really deserved to be a model technical nerd. What he made was so outstanding and outrageous. This Hidden Blade was equipped with a rope gun and a catapult. Although it did not have a Berserk Sword, the This Hidden Blade, whether it is fighting or climbing, is a very convenient and good thing.

Elizabeth was very happy to get such a good thing: "I want to thank Eric."

"Eric?" Philip was very strange: "Do you have a friend named Eric?"

"That's right." Elizabeth put on her coat and stepped into the carriage: "Go to the Opera House."

Philip smelled a burning smell, and he asked Estelle's maid: "Mary, what is this?"

"..." Mary frowned, and then immediately ran to the kitchen: "Miss's cake is burnt!"

Eric's underground palace is easy to find, but it is also very difficult to find. Elizabeth finally found the entrance through the secret door in Christine's room, and then walked in slowly.

She didn't bring a light, and walked down the stairs in the dark all the way, and then felt as if someone had grabbed her wrist, and then the light flickered.Eric's face appeared in front of his eyes.

It is really scary to have a face that looks like a skeleton in front of you in a dark environment, but Elizabeth still stabilized, and she stepped back slightly: "Eric, why is it you?"

"Why are you here?"

Elizabeth smiled slightly: "Thank you for the gifts, Eric, they are very good."

There was almost no expression on Eric's skeleton face: "You broke in here casually, the most likely thing is that I judged it as an intruder and threw it into the torture chamber."

Elizabeth finally found the lasso on Eric's other hand. She was a little curious: "Are you going to strangle me with a lasso? But I have a Hidden Blade in my hand."

"I won't give you the chance to cut it with the Hidden Blade." Eric said indifferently—and with a little pride: "I will cut the trachea of ​​my prey before they find the lasso."

Elizabeth was stuck, and sure enough, this kind of person would have made it impossible for others to live if it wasn't for his face.

Elizabeth followed Eric's light down: "Your Hidden Blade is excellent."

"They can add more functions." Eric said with pride in his tone, "I'm just worried that you will leave Paris soon, and those two idiots won't be able to find you by then."

"I won't leave France in the short term." Elizabeth said to herself, why do I have to wait for Raul's dust to settle? Now it seems that Raul in the musical is a viscount, but he became an earl later, because of Philip died?Then the person who killed Philip, except for Eric, Elizabeth hardly thought about him.

"What are your plans in France?"

Elizabeth thinks that for people like Eric, the more sincere the better—they can’t do it under the circumstances of IQ and force, and Eric has released his kindness, so Elizabeth will do her best to give back to the other party: "Actually, I don't like opera very much, and I don't like music that much."

She held up her skirt to keep her skirt from splashing into the water in the underground lake: "I actually like reading books, and I despise the traditional lady education, but my mother really wants me to do those things, so I just Learn to cook, embroider... try to be a good lady, God knows a woman's corset can drive a woman crazy."

Eric is actually very transparent about the ways of the world: "So, you don't really want to be a queen?"

"My godmother is the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria, Princess Victoria, oh, of course, it should be Queen Victoria now." Elizabeth said bluntly: "For me, the royal family is not so far away, but it is not close at all." , I hate that kind of life—now the Empress Elizabeth of Austria—she has the same name as me, but a different nickname, and has to accept a life in the royal court that is not suitable at all. No matter who it is, it is a kind of devastation and torture.”

Think about Princess Sissi, she was disliked by her mother-in-law and aunt Sophie for having yellow teeth as soon as she met her. After that, she never left any photos with her teeth exposed, and all the children she gave birth were taken away , the only son committed suicide, and the husband lost the crown prince and had to make his nephew the crown prince. After that, Franz Joseph had to agree to Ferdinand marrying his concubine, and then the Archduke Ferdinand and his wife were shot in Sarajevo. The first world The war broke out.

It's hard to say whether this is a butterfly effect or not.

Elizabeth was in a bad mood, and Eric began to sing very softly. It was rare that he sang a section of "Wondering Child". For this moment, it really couldn't be more suitable.

Elizabeth just listened to him singing, and felt that her mood seemed to be much better.

Eric used the standard bel canto, and Elizabeth used to be a little bit unacceptable to this kind of singing, but at this time Eric still sang like the sound of nature, which proves that it is the person who can't sing well, not the song and Wrong way of singing.

Eric gradually said something to Elizabeth, and Elizabeth was still wondering why he would say it to her directly. Eric's explanation was: "Since you already know a lot of things about me, it is better to let me know a lot of things than to talk nonsense. You know all about it."

Eric used to work for the royal families of many countries, designing various palaces and labyrinths, but because of the confidentiality of those secret passages, he was also the first existence to be hunted down after the project was completed. That is the deep-seated reason why he shot a shot and changed places, and finally hid underground in the opera house.

"The guy you describe is the same as me, but it's completely different." Eric, who has read all the scripts, brought a glass of red wine. He tentatively asked Elizabeth if she needed red wine. I don't like red wine, do you have champagne?"

"I'm not going to hide in the ground." Eric said indifferently: "I just want to live like you."

"But I also know." Now that Eric is calm, the dangerous atmosphere that Elizabeth feels is far less intense: "This underground labyrinth is suitable for me, this is my home." Eric was very cold Said: "No matter how many buildings I design in other places, I will be hunted down in the end, so I should spend my time here quietly."

"In the far east, there is a country." Elizabeth instantly remembered that when Qin Shihuang died, Hu Hai and Zhao Gao killed all the craftsmen: "The emperor of that country has passed away, and then a mausoleum will be built for him ——The mausoleum has been built for many years before this, and then, after the burial, the craftsmen were still working, and they were directly sealed inside the mausoleum—Eric, you are not the only one.”

Eric didn't speak, just drank a glass of red wine and poured another glass.

Elizabeth continued: "Because many skilled craftsmen in the past dynasties have died or injured because of this, many craftsmanship in this country have disappeared. Eric, don't you consider accepting a student? You are such an outstanding architect, Master of mechanism, your natural voice can only be regarded as embellishment in comparison - don't you consider accepting a student?"

"I have students, my Christine." Eric put down his glass: "But the others..."

"Kristen loved her family more than her music, and after her father died, she sat out practice until you found her..."

"I know!" Eric dropped the cup, but fortunately, Elizabeth didn't feel murderous, and she tried to calm herself.

I heard Eric say: "Your musical drama scribbles a lot, but it also predicts a lot, right? Your cousin likes her."

The author has something to say: The halo of the heroine continues...
