[Pride and Prejudice] Sky Bookstore

This dinner at the Ross's was Darcy's last social event before leaving London.Darcy did not have a sincere love for the toasting, but just out of obligations and various business needs, and he tried his best to complete it patiently every time.

As the age continues to increase, those ladies and ladies are more enthusiastic about introducing objects to him.Although he didn't exaggerate so much that someone fell directly beside him when he was attending a banquet, things like dropping a handkerchief and encountering him suddenly happened from time to time.

Now, Darcy is not so convinced of his original set of arguments about ladies.

Skye's death left him with the biggest change, that is, the scope of his friends was not limited to the same class.Based on this foundation, Darcy has seen humble good people and noble villains in these years.

My only regret is never meeting anyone as interesting as Skye.

Darcy was holding a glass of red wine, explaining to the inquirer why his sister was absent from the banquet.What Wickham did to his sister really pissed him off, and while it was early enough, Darcy still felt guilty that he hadn't nip it in the bud in the first place too.

"Mr. Darcy, thank you very much for coming to this banquet, your arrival really attracted the attention of all the ladies..."

Regardless of Skye's evasion, Mrs. Rose brings her into Darcy's circle.

As soon as he approached, Skye felt Lingchi eyes from all directions.Darcy can only dance with one person at the opening dance of a banquet. If there is one more person, the denominator will be increased once, and the probability of being selected will decrease.

In this way, she has become the imaginary enemy of many girls of the same age without doing anything.

Of course, these are not big things.Skye hadn't figured out how to explain his name for a while.

Hello Mr. Darcy.My name is Skye, the one you thought was dead.Are you surprised that I've become a woman?

——Don't be kidding, okay!If Darcy can even accept this kind of thing, it is really God's fall, and the sky will change.

When the fire did break out seven years ago, Skye was standing in the shadow of an alley not far from the bookstore.The development of the matter to this point was completely unplanned, and Skye made an unpleasant choice hastily—that madman really wanted to kill her.

Skye doesn't regret what he did.It was just a fork in her years of tossing and turning.

Now, the distance between Skye and Darcy is actually less than 50 meters, but one is bright and the other is dark.When Skye saw that Darcy almost rushed into the fire, he almost rushed out to tell him that nothing happened.

Only then did she really re-examine the man Fitzwilliam Darcy.He may still have a lot of small problems of being superior, but he is a person of high moral character in essence.He deserves a better friend than someone like her who just kills time and never sees the light of day.

It's a pity that the water is hard to recover, and all Skye's regrets are still like water poured on the fire in the middle of the night, turning into steam in an instant, or being blown everywhere by the wind like a book that has been burned to ashes.

It was a relief for Skye to burn those books, and she picked out the really meaningful parts and deposited them with Anna and Wilkey.But the burning of the bookstore will probably become an indelible shadow to Darcy's life.

Let Darcy witness death.

Skye...so guilty.

"You are very humble. It is an honor to be invited."

"Okay, okay. You don't need to be polite. I don't know which lady you will invite to dance later! However, I don't mean to be partial. I just want to introduce you to a lady who has just entered the social circle. She It's charming, isn't it?"

Skye was still thinking about the opening content with a bitter face, but was pushed by Mrs. Rose, and directly crashed into the small vacuum around Darcy.

"Ah!" She stood still in some embarrassment, luckily she didn't have any physical contact with Darcy.

When standing together at close range, Skye is more able to appreciate the changes in Darcy over the years.The least obvious thing is the height.Skye has grown a lot taller and is not as thin as before, but Darcy still maintains that height.The most obvious thing was Darcy's behavior, Skye could hardly see what he was thinking.His eyes were unfathomable, reflecting only an ordinary young lady.

"Be careful." Four eyes meet.There was neither joy nor disgust in Darcy's eyes.Seeing that Skye had stabilized, he took half a step back, leaving the ambiguous distance.

"Thank you." After this episode, Skye calmed down instead.She saluted Darcy and introduced herself: "Good day, Mr. Darcy. My name is Skye - Skye Holt."

Darcy gripped the cup a little harder, and he looked at Skye standing opposite him in surprise.This appearance does somewhat overlap with the one in memory.Skye kept an ignorant smile, waiting for Darcy's answer.

"Skye Holt," he repeated in a low voice.

"Yes. Any questions?"

Darcy looked at the lady in the blue dress and feathered hat before him.He tried to recall what the man he knew would look like seven years later.But after a side profile, there is no more impression.

There is no doubt that Mr. Skye, who died in the fire, was shorter than the lady, and his manner would not have been so appropriate.

Darcy relayed that he wanted to find the shadow of that in this Skye.But in the end it was nothing.

"You are a bit like a friend I know." He said vaguely, and then greeted: "Nice to meet you."

"Your friend? Does it look like me?"

"No, it's your name."

Darcy took a deep look at the Skye Holt in front of him.He didn't believe that there was such a coincidence in this world, giving two people with the same name and surname, a man and a woman.

"Could you please accompany me to dance the first dance of the day?" He withdrew his gaze and asked suddenly.

Skye expected that.She immediately replied, "It's my pleasure."

Skye gave Darcy his hand, and the two walked to the edge of the dance floor.

"I'm curious, is the original intention of your invitation because I have the same name as your friend?" The scar hurts because it hasn't come out yet.

"Although my words may be a little rude. But I have to tell you frankly that there are indeed reasons for this." The two walked into the dance floor hand in hand.Dancing is a great time to exchange languages.Skye didn't have many opportunities to dance all year round, so he was a little rusty in the dance steps.

She carefully maintained the steps under her feet. Fortunately, the steps of ballroom dancing today are simple, and she can become proficient after a few bars.

"Your accent is not from London. Where is your hometown?"

Darcy's question is a little too much for a couple who are meeting for the first time.Skye grasped the expression of 'face slightly changed' very well, and said with a three-pointed look: "Our family is engaged in the nautical business. I don't think you should look for the shadow of the person with the same name in me."

A piece of music came to an end, and Skye hurried off the dance floor.

"Sister, you have been invited to dance!" Elsie kept an eye on her sister's status.As soon as Skye got off the dance floor, he came running over.

"Yes, yes." Skye put his shoulders on his shoulders, making himself try to forget about Darcy, "...I'm going to ask you how you feel about attending the banquet..."

Skye would have a headache if her brother remained so innocent and cute forever.

It did not occur to Mrs. Ross that Mr. Darcy would ask a girl whom he met for the first time to dance.

In fact, in terms of appearance, Skye is not the amazing type.She has beautiful eyes and a nice voice.But other than that, the other parts are not beyond the ordinary definition.

During the short communication with Skye, Mrs. Rose didn't feel how intelligent Skye was.She neither said any convincing remarks, nor was she a talented woman who quoted scriptures and read countless books.Skye's accent even had a hint of Linhai's air, which was not so orthodox and not too out of the ordinary.

Therefore, when Darcy asked about Skye, Mrs. Rose also spent some time recalling it.

"If I remember correctly, Skye has a younger brother... called Elsie. They have been in London for six or seven years. Skye lives with his younger brother. She will only consider it when he inherits the title in the future. The question of getting married. If you want me to say that this is indeed a good girl who values ​​family affection, but it is not suitable..." Mrs. Rose calmly disturbed the possibility of Skye and Darcy being together.

As for having a younger brother, Darcy didn't need Mrs. Rose to repeat it, and he saw it all in his eyes.

The shopkeeper he knew had never been a pleasant fellow.Unruly, rebellious, and weird are all words used to describe him.

But the names of Elsie and Skye, and the location and Holt family that actually exist in the letter.After many years, everything points to an unmanageable situation.

Darcy tried to assume that Skye was a woman disguised as a man, but from a common sense point of view, Skye was too calm.

So he was more inclined to another explanation, that some unknown person, who knew Skye and Elsie, pretended to be Skye's name.Inherited someone else's property.In the end, he died without a name in the Sky Academy...

So that shopkeeper, 'Skye', must have no sister, and no way to have a sad story.

That way, that shopkeeper, 'Sky', never said a word of the truth, it was all just a lie!

"By the way, Mr. Darcy. I heard that you are going to visit your friends in the countryside. I don't know the exact time of departure." Mrs. Rose didn't make any fuss about Skye.

"We'll be leaving within this week."

"Then I wish you a pleasant journey. Give Mr. Bingley my regards."

"I will, thanks."
