[Pride and Prejudice] Sky Bookstore

"We saw you were talking to Mr. Wilson...but why isn't Georgiana here?" Miss Bingley spoke to Wilson, as if she was accusing him of not being specific.

Skye felt that the current situation was a bit chaotic—Darcy and Anwen didn't know if they could find Georgiana, or if they could find it in time.There was a problem with Witson's performance at first glance, and he almost wrote all the anxiety on his face.And now... Skye looked at Elizabeth, who showed some anxiety in her brows and eyes, and felt that she also came here with troubles.

"Elizabeth, what's on your mind?" Skye simply ignored Miss Bingley's provocation.As far as she knew, Miss Bingley had recently been pursued by a gentleman earning over ten thousand pounds a year.The news about her undoubtedly became a good talk in London society.

"I'm fine." Elizabeth didn't speak her mind hastily.She didn't think she and Skye knew each other well enough to communicate this.

"That's good. But if you encounter any problems and I happen to be able to help, please be sure to tell me...my brother...should think so."

Anwen had just returned from Meryton a few days ago.He brought back the news that Wickham had been arrested, and told Skye the absurd story about Lydia Bennet without reservation.

Elizabeth frowned slightly.The problem actually arose with Lydia.She received a total of two letters from home on Christmas Day.Elizabeth already had a bad feeling when she just received it and hadn't opened it yet.She didn't think that when she was away for such a period of time, her family would be so worried that she would write letters continuously.There must be something going on in the family.

The content of the letter undoubtedly confirmed Elizabeth's conjecture.The first letter told her that Wickham had eloped with Lydia, but finally with the help of Mr. Unwin, the matter was settled.In the letter, Mrs. Bennet also earnestly urged Elizabeth, asking her to take a good look at Mr. Unwin's tone for her sister.Mrs. Bennet seemed to think that Anwen could be her son-in-law.Elizabeth, who just read the letter, was not so optimistic.

She couldn't imagine what it would be like for Anwen and Lydia to be together.Her sister couldn't possibly be up to this type of banquet.Elizabeth saw Anwen from a distance just now.The main reason is that Miss Bingley has been looking at Anwen, and Anwen...his eyes never left Mr. Darcy's sister.

The problem is actually in the second letter.Travel delays allowed both letters to arrive at the same time.It turned out that on the second day Anwen left Meryton, Lydia left a letter and left.Her younger sister said that she would come to London to look for Anwen. She was afraid that her family would disagree, so she came out with pocket money.Mr. Bennet has come out anxiously to look for it. They need Elizabeth to pay more attention to whether her sister has appeared in London.

A good Christmas, for the people of the Bennet family, it was like a wild ride.Elizabeth did not dare to tell anyone about the absurd things Lydia did. Her sister still needs to get married. Even if her reputation is already in jeopardy, as her family, Elizabeth must maintain it to the end.

Although Elizabeth was able to attend such a banquet at the invitation of Miss Bingley, firstly, she did not have the idea of ​​looking for rich people here, and secondly, she did not think that she should be used by Miss Bingley as a way to stab Skye. arms.

"Isn't Mr. Darcy with you, too?"—Therefore, when Miss Bingley asked this question, Elizabeth showed no expression of curiosity.

Darcy followed that corridor to what looked like a kitchen.Because he was worried about Georgiana, he walked over without thinking too much.

——He soon discovered that this is really a kitchen!

A French chef in a tall white hat dances and asks about his needs.Darcy frowned and inquired about the route to the house.He lied that he was lost, and he did not dare to rashly say that he was looking for Georgiana.

The chef was really invited by the Duke from France to prepare the banquet, and it was he who made the cakes at the banquet well received.After he and Mr. Darcy communicated in French for a long time, Mr. Darcy's French was pretty good. After listening carefully for a while, he basically understood that there was no such thing as 'many forks' in this building.

Finally, Mr. Darcy came out of the kitchen full of anger.What An Wen did was really too much!He had distracted him in such a despicable way because he wanted to find Georgiana alone.He is Georgiana's elder brother. If something really happened to his sister, Anwen would not be able to bear such responsibility at all!

Helpless, Mr. Darcy can only return to this fork in the road first.When Anwen proposed to split the road before, he wondered why the architectural format of this villa was different from the ordinary ones.Anwen's flickering eyes at that time could not have hinted more clearly.Mr. Darcy hurried forward, in order to avoid the side-eyes of the servants along the way, he could not run quickly, so as not to be approached to make inquiries.During this process, every moment of searching became a kind of torment.

Anwen has a good understanding of the basic path of construction.If he hadn't discovered a secret passage behind a bookshelf at the age of 16, he might still say ignorantly that he understood every passage here.

This is a building that dates back hundreds of years.As far as Anwen knew, this place, like some ancient castles in England, had its own dungeons.The Duke never let Unwin know the details about the dungeon, it was one of his repertoires.In addition, Anwen also knew the existence of some secret rooms.Therefore, he could not let Darcy accompany him in his search.

The dark secrets of ancient buildings are very shocking.Out of consideration for Skye and Darcy himself, Anwen decided to ask Mr. Darcy to go around the kitchen at the first fork in the road.

He went all the way along the only passage.During this period, a secret room was opened.The chamber was empty, the cobwebs still hanging on the walls intact—at least Georgiana wasn't here.This made Anwen breathe a sigh of relief.

When he went a little further, he finally realized that all his conspiracy theories were unreasonable.Georgiana didn't fall into some unknown dark room, she just met a hooligan.

——'Just' met a hooligan! ! !

Anwen didn't even think about whose back that was dressed in golden light belonged to.He rushed up and put it on the man's shoulders.Pull him back.

The prince smelled a maiden's fragrance in Georgiana.He took it for granted that Georgiana was much better than he had imagined.

A little alcohol at the banquet, plus the old man's rare 'kind persuasion' to Duke Ante when he met him.All increased his courage.

The original words of Duke Ante are: "If you are a prince and you like a girl, I don't think you can do anything too much."

Everything gave His Royal Highness a kind of illusory self-confidence.Although he wasn't considered strong, as a grown man, there was no problem in catching a young girl.

The prince's lips touched Georgiana's face, and the girl's soft skin made him fall into a dizzy and dreamy scene.

The prince intends to go one step further, but before his hand touches Georgiana's chest, he feels that everything around him is quickly retreating.Until his shoulder hit the cold wall, the prince opened his mouth in a daze.

Georgiana was terrified. She shivered all the way back and pushed her to the corner of the wall.Tears had already flowed down from her eyes, but she couldn't make a sound, she just kept crying.

An Wen felt very distressed.He took out the handkerchief from his suit pocket, trying to wipe away Georgiana's tears.

But the meaning of Georgiana's refusal was already expressed in full force in her every action.

Obviously, in Georgiana's eyes, neither Anwen nor the prince could make her feel at ease.

When Anwen saw Georgiana crying, his heart was almost broken.At this moment, he regretted why he sent Darcy away. If Darcy was there, Georgiana could at least get some comfort.

"Anwen! You dare to attack the royal family, you are too courageous!" But in such a situation, there are still people who are not winking and clamoring.But he was obviously not too stupid, and he ran away quickly while bending his painful back.

He also knows guilty conscience.Or, in the absence of a catalyst, the prince is not so... crazy.

Only Georgiana and Anwen were left in the corridor.

"Don't cry. I've already chased him away." Anwen felt like he was facing a piece of fragile porcelain.He remembered that when he was a child, his family kept a very thin ceramic handicraft, which came across the ocean.The blue porcelain is almost transparent in the sunlight.

At that time, Anwen was still at an age full of curiosity about everything.He knocked on the porcelain tentatively.The china crumbled.However, if the same strength is applied to other bone china products at home, it will not cause any harm.

At that time, Anwen understood a truth - some people or things need to be treated gently.

"Wipe your tears first. Mr. Darcy will be here soon, anyway."

Anwen took a step forward.Even though Georgiana was tearful, he firmly took out his handkerchief and carefully wiped away her tears.
