[Pride and Prejudice] Sky Bookstore

Now only Georgiana and the prince were left in the corridor.She felt some kind of sign, whether it was the distance between her and the prince at this time, or the degree of acquaintance between the two, Georgiana was still in a state of panic.

She tried to stay calm, but there was nothing she could do.

"I think it's almost the same. I should go back." Georgiana made some attempts.This move of hers broke the stagnant air between the two of them.But obviously nothing helps.

The prince let her go a few steps, but even with her back turned to him, Georgiana could feel his gaze and hear her own cautious footsteps.

After a few steps, the distance had just been opened a little, and the prince took two big steps forward and grabbed Georgiana's hand.There was a little smile in his voice, and he said playfully: "I thought about it, and I still want to talk to you more. There are not many opportunities for us to get along alone like this. I should cherish it, what do you think?"

"If you have a chance in the future, you can go to Bloomberg. My brother and I will welcome you very much."

The Prince saw his own actions as giving his prey a break before cutting off her hope.But Georgiana, who had heard Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley discuss hunting matters, felt that she was calming a brown bear.Dressed in human skin, but still has animal nature.She tried to nudge things in the bud with a calm demeanor, but the trick didn't do much.

call for help?

This might work.It's just that after finding the crowd, the other party's distinguished status and his own reputation have become an unresolvable deadlock.Georgiana didn't want to ask anyone for help until she was completely desperate.She is a member of the Darcy family, and she is destined not to let this name be covered with dust.

"But I can't control it anymore..." the prince pulled Georgiana into his arms.A smell of cologne rushed into Georgiana's nostrils, probably due to a psychological effect. Georgiana seemed to be able to smell the greedy stench that the perfume was trying to cover up.

People at the banquet were drinking and drinking.The collision of glasses makes a pleasant sound, and the giant crystal chandelier reflects beautiful brilliance.This is not only a unique design, but also a lot of time and labor to maintain such a lamp.

From what Skye saw, he felt that this chandelier was similar to the one placed in Anwen's home.Not only from the same designer, but also from the same worker and the same drawing.

Skye was a little dazzled by the light, she turned to look at Anwen.Her brother was more deeply influenced by the Duke than he imagined.However, after Georgiana left, Anwen showed more of a posture of being trapped in a cage.If Skye hadn't been watching him, he would have gone to Georgiana, and it would have been better to beat Wilson up.

"You shouldn't have stopped me. If that man dares to do something to Georgiana and I don't arrive in time, I will regret it forever!"

"I don't mean to stop you, I just need you to remember that you are still at the Duke's banquet. Whatever happens, there are countless pairs of eyes here to convey it to him."

Skye's words made Anwen take a deep breath.His voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, "I sometimes hate my own powerlessness."

——Actually, Anwen has done well enough.It's just that the duke has a natural status advantage, and also stands on the commanding heights of morality because of his status as 'adoptive father'.Skye also sometimes feels powerless.None of this will accompany them for a lifetime.As long as you know this, you'll be fine.

"It will always pass." She gave a short reassurance.After the Duke left, they had a short rest period. For the time being, no new crowd came up, and no one came to greet them. "Besides, if you want to attack Wilson, you must have at least one sufficient reason."

But Wilson's character is cautious and cautious.Skye had reason to believe that he had no guts to do anything to Georgiana, and that the only way for him to go wrong was outside intervention.As for this kind of external force, Skye didn't think that Anwen should try it unless it was absolutely necessary.

But this time, the accident happened much sooner than Skye imagined.

Skye and Anwen stood in a relatively inconspicuous corner of the banquet.There are some resting stools here for ladies and gentlemen who have inconvenient legs and feet, or who are tired from dancing.

It is conceivable that such a corner is unnecessary for the gentlemen and ladies who attend the meeting are all young and strong, and can't wait to dance until dawn.Banquets always unearth people's energy, even the slightly older ladies will gather to talk endlessly and tirelessly.

Skye and Anwen stood here undisturbed.They can easily see what's going on down the corridor.And the gorgeous embroidered screen perfectly blocks the prying eyes from the corridor.

They saw Wilson coming back from the corridor alone.His complexion is not very good-looking, and it may just be due to the effect of the lighting.

Skye frowned, and she and Anwen exchanged glances, but neither of them commented immediately.

Mr. Darcy came from the other side of the hall with the cake.

The cake Skye said was farther away than he imagined. He met a few strike-ups on the way, and Darcy had a brief conversation with them, which was not too much for Skye and Anwen. A short period of communication.

Darcy was very happy that Skylar kept Anwen and didn't let her brother do any unbelievable behavior at the banquet.He also saw the obscure and distorted relationship between Duke Anwenhao.This is not something that would happen between an ordinary adoptive father and son, and Mr. Darcy had heard some rumors.He has reservations about it.

"Your cake." He handed the cake plate to Skye.

"Thank you." Skye looked at a small piece of cake cut into a triangle on the plate.She doesn't have much appetite for it, and it's not a very wise decision to enjoy cake at a banquet where the situation is endless.Skye held the plate in his hand, and while talking with Darcy about the situation at the banquet, he continued to pay attention to Wilson's state.

It always took her a while to make sure that Wilson's complexion and state were really off, rather than candlelight and red wine.After observing carefully for a while, both Skye and Anwen confirmed Wilson's distraught appearance.

"Do you know the list of people invited to the banquet?"

"I want to go and have a look." When Anwen said this, he had already taken the first step.

Skye did not stop Anwen's move this time.She also felt that something was wrong. After a brief explanation to Mr. Darcy, she watched Darcy and Anwen walk towards the corridor one after the other.

The Duke's mansion presents a more complex structure.In an old house, it is not surprising that there are secret passages or secret rooms.Anwen himself did not dare to say that he knew all the secrets of the main house.The supreme ruler here has always been Ante, and only he has all the architectural drawings of the castle.Or such a blueprint didn't exist, and he kept everything in his mind.

Anwen at least knows how to walk is the closest.But when a fork appeared in front of them, he had to separate from Mr. Darcy.

Skye did not rashly accompany the two men to catch up.She believed that no matter what happened to her, she was not fit to be a witness.Besides, she might not be useless in the hall.

"Mr. Wilson, can I talk to you?" Skye walked towards Wilson.This man stood alone in the venue, like an isolated island.None of the men and women who came and went came forward to talk to him.Everyone knows that when Miss Darcy is not with him, this man is just an invisible figure.

Without interest, no one is willing to communicate with him.

Skye knew it so well because she was one of the people who was treated in the same way.Her power comes from Anwen, at least that's how it looks to outsiders.

"Ah... you are?" Wilson looked at Skye as if awakened from a dream.He felt that Skye looked familiar, but he was obviously not good at recognizing people.

"Skye Holt." Skye introduced herself slowly. She knew that this introduction would make Wilson more confused about who she was, but this was her original intention - "I am Anwen's sister."

Skye fully expressed his attitude with a vicious tone of 'you should know who I am' and 'if you don't know, it's disrespect to me'.

"So...Miss Skye, what's the matter?" Wilson was a little flattered, but his expression still looked quite confused. It is estimated that the name Skye still doesn't match up in his memory.

"I just saw...you left with Georgiana just now..."

"Miss Holt!" A woman with a wine glass came over, she interrupted Skye, and ended the interrogation at the beginning.

Skye wondered who would call himself that.When she turned her head to look, she found that there was not one person standing behind her, but two.

— One expected, the other unexpected.

Skye sighed, and looked at Wilson with some regrets. She greeted the next two ladies: "Miss Bingley. And...Elizabeth?" Skye had to admit that when she saw Elizabeth, she Very surprised.
