[Pride and Prejudice] Sky Bookstore

Skye felt that this so-called witness was threatening.Although no one pointed a gun at her, she had to move forward.However, when walking through the long corridors in the ancient mansion, the Duke's back gave her a lot of pressure.

The old man walked slowly, as if he didn't care what kind of farce was waiting for them.Skye smelled a faint smell of alcohol on his body, and she thought sarcastically, look, this is Anwen's adoptive father, and he acted so strategically, did he start to celebrate in advance?

Various not-so-good possibilities circled back and forth in her mind.

When they reached the end of the corridor, Skye saw that the three familiar people had been separated.They each stood silently by the wall.Darcy and Georgiana stood on one side, erect.Anwen leaned against the wall, his face pale.

Skye glanced down to his side.

——The black cloth and the darkness of the dark place make for an excellent camouflage.Anwen looked flawless, but that wasn't a good sign.Skye saw an almost broken emotion in his eyes.

It felt like... Georgiana's magic was disappearing.Skye realizes that, unbeknownst to her, something catastrophic has happened.

"Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, I thought I might ask, what's going on here?"

The only one who doesn't know is Skye, but the duke has shown himself to be both master and greatest victim.Duke Ante seemed purely an elder who cared about his younger generation.

Skye heard Anwen say respectfully: "I drank some wine, I offended Georgiana."

This answer did not surprise Skye.She was sure that was not the case, but also understood that whatever happened, Anwen would not tell the Duke.

"If I remember correctly, Miss Darcy seems to have a male companion..." The Duke paused for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Why didn't I see him here?"

"He's in the hall. He was still talking to me just now." Skye explained from the side.

"Skye, did you mean it? You hold Mr. Wilson back, and then create opportunities for a fool like Anwen?" The duke's question followed closely.He directly questioned Skye's character, and directly said the name Wilson while speaking, showing his understanding of the matter with little concealment.

Skye opened his mouth, but heard the Duke continue: "That boy named Wilson, I saw him from a distance earlier. Guess what? I have to say, he is a good guy, and let me Recalling some long-ago things." The Duke's eyes shifted to Skye's face, and he showed a smug expression, "Skye, you too."

Skye never got a chance to clear his name.She seems to have become the despicable accomplice to the tyrant in the Duke's mouth. In order to please a powerful brother, she did not hesitate to sell her soul.

Don't many people already see her that way? ——I have been living at the bottom before, and once I climbed up to a good relative.Fantasizing about things that don't belong to him, and using inexplicable means to flatter the Darcy family.

People don't look at reality with their eyes, they tend to their imagination, no matter how evil that is.

"What kind of... story did you think of?" Skye felt that her heart was being grasped by a pair of invisible hands, and a sharp ice knife was cutting her heart, which was cold and stinging.She has always been a person who refuses to admit defeat, but this time she couldn't refuse the accusations thrown at her.

Even so, Skye didn't want Anwen to say anything.She knew that Anwen would only get hurt more, and he was also a victim of lies.They were all going to protect Georgiana.

The Duke was a little surprised that Skye had the face to strike up a conversation.This made him look at Skye one more time, and felt that he seemed to have underestimated the inner strength of this little girl named Holt.

"When I was young, I fell in love with a very beautiful girl. She had long hair that was even more beautiful than yours, and it was also black. She was good in everything... except that there was a big gap between her status and mine."

Skye just listened to the beginning and knew that the Duke was going to tell the old story she was already familiar with and could no longer be familiar with.The elderly will always recall things that they can't do, and parents always impose things that they can't do on their children.And for the duke to occupy both roles at the same time, it was a disaster.

"Mr. Wilson is very similar to me when I was young." The Duke looked at Georgiana, and his performance was perfect, as if he had never encouraged the prince to do extraordinary things. "In other words, what you're going through now is very similar to what I was in the past... What I couldn't do back then, I can finally do for you today. This is... Skye reminded me."

Skye saw the look of horror on Georgiana's face.This was what she had tried to hide before, and the elite education she had received all along had indeed helped her show her traits of not being sexual. This time... the duke found his lifeblood.

"I think this kind of private matter, we will solve it ourselves." Mr. Darcy expressed his rejection bluntly.

"No, no, young man, do you want to listen to my advice? Don't always act as the ruler in other people's feelings. I often think, if I could have someone help me when I was young... ·”

——Then it is impossible for you to have any results with Mrs. Rose.Skye rolled his eyes mentally.She had a terrible premonition that the Duke was going to combine Georgiana and Wilson together, and make a couple or something.

Tonight, her intuition has been surprisingly accurate.The Duke's more disgusting lines are still to come - "If possible, I would like to be a witness of your wedding. Of course, it depends on you... My Anwen will do such a thing, and I regret it , and will urge him to correct himself.”

The emphasis is never on the last sentence.Skye saw Georgiana look at Mr. Darcy with a terrified look, and then look at herself apologetically.

Everything is over, although tonight's banquet is not over yet, the sword of Damocles that was chosen in the air has already roared down.Skye heard the sound of the blade scraping, and also saw that Anwen's long-term management began to burst.

"Okay. Think about what I said. I believe you still have a lot to talk about. I'm tired too, so let's go here first." The Duke left easily.He did leave a large space, but at the same time, he also left invisible ruins all over the place.

Skye leaned to Anwen's side weakly.Two walls facing each other, two pairs of brothers and sisters with different styles.

Skye asked hoarsely: "Now, can any of you tell me what happened just now?"

All Skye knew was that they were protecting Georgiana from damage to her reputation.And what was bound to happen later was Skye's own discredit in social circles.

After all, there will always be a servant who 'doesn't know', 'betrays his conscience', or 'just passes by', who will make public the Duke's evaluation of her.The long-term operation in the past has become empty talk.Skye didn't know if she should be angry with Georgiana for taking a walk. She knew in her heart that this was the cessation of everything, not the main cause of the tragedy.

Anwen briefly explained to Skye in a gentle tone.He still took care of Georgiana's feelings, but slightly mentioned the prince's name and said Wilson's cowardly behavior.Skye understood everything after a little thought.

She looked at Mr. Darcy, who had only said one word so far, and said almost sighing, "I guess you guys had a fight?"

"How did you see it?"

Darcy was a little surprised by Skye's questioning.This doesn't leave much of a mark.

Then Darcy heard Skye's usual casual, nonchalant answer, and he knew he was fooling when he heard it: "Ah... it's probably a telepathy between siblings, when you hit him , I was in pain too."

"But I don't regret this." Mr. Darcy said frankly: "He sent me to another side road. This is a very disrespectful behavior."

"Perhaps you also blame us for bringing you trouble. The Duke is after us. You are just a disaster."

Darcy said nothing.He just looked at Skye as if she was being vexatious.

Skye laughed at himself.Neither she nor Darcy were quarrelsome.Frankly speaking, if you get to the point of quarreling, you will really reduce yourself to a pathetic situation.

"I've always been on my brother's side, including his move to dismiss you." Anwen opened his eyes wide on the side, and Skye's actions became a bright spot in the gloomy life now.When he thought he couldn't stand up, Skye was on his side.

"But I want... for Georgiana," said Mr. Darcy gravely.He looked at Skye's dark eyes, and Skye was almost out of breath.

Perhaps at the beginning, she shouldn't leave too much hope.Problems have always existed, and when she ignored them for granted, it led to today's tragedy.

Such a Darcy is too heavy, and when Skye looks at him like this, he feels a little sad.She thinks Darcy shouldn't be like this, he should be confident and unrestrained, and only need to worry about love, instead of living in these dirty power games.

"Then... let's talk about the future when we can all be responsible for ourselves and each other."

——This is a euphemism.They all know that this day will not come, because they can't find a way to have both.

Skye gave a final result between the two parties.She believed that as long as Anwen and she no longer associated with Darcy's family, Mr. Duke would not want to influence Georgiana and Darcy.

Darcy's lips moved, but he didn't speak.

Tonight, at least tonight, the issues were out in the cold, each making its own decisions.He took Georgiana away silently.

Wait until they're all gone.Skye's body leaning against the wall slowly slid down.The red and black dress on her body looked like a crushed flower. Unfortunately, when they first wore this dress, they didn't realize that it was an ominous symbol.

"I'm really touched that you're on my side."

"Isn't this a matter of course?" Skye sneered: "The Anwen I know would not give up so easily. Our days are still long, what do you think?"

"You're always right..."

The dim candlelight stretched the shadows of the two brothers and sisters very long.When they finally decided to stand up, they also left those setbacks in the shadow on the ground.

Before leaving, Skye saluted the king's portrait on the wall with some sarcasm.

The two brothers and sisters walked out with their chests held high.
