"So Mycroft took you to the ball just to spread rumors?" Sherlock asked while looking up at Athena in surprise while adjusting the duffel suit worn by his servant.

Athena leaned on the sofa in the living room and said lazily: "I don't know!"

"Oh! That's right! It's too much to expect your goldfish brain to see into Mycroft's intentions!" Sherlock habitually taunted Athena.

Little did he know that the target of his ridicule was rolling his eyes behind his back. If it wasn't for maintaining the original Athena's silly, white and sweet persona, someone would have cursed that she owed Sherlock [-] rounds!

Mrs. Hudson walked in from the kitchen carrying fresh fruits and vegetables, put down her things, looked at Sherlock very seriously, and said, "Sherlock! How can you talk to your sister like that? How can a decent gentleman say such things to his sister?" ?”

Sherlock curled his lips but nodded obediently, but whether Mrs. Hudson listened to what he said was another matter.

"Athena, when are you leaving?" Mrs. Hudson picked out the fruits and vegetables from the paper bag, and asked Athena, who was watching Sherlock's slump, "Melina said to make some for me tonight." Authentic Greek food, when will you be back?"

Athena got up and straightened her skirt, hesitated and said: "At least two or three hours are needed, after all, it is not good to be too perfunctory in the painting of a big man. If there is any change, I will let my dear Her servant Sherlock called home, don't worry about Mrs. Hudson, we will definitely not miss Melina's heart!"

When Athena's "dear servant" Sherlock heard this, he straightened his newsboy hat and said, "Come on! Mycroft will not agree with you to keep that Greek girl. The girl said it and let her see the reality earlier. It is a very bad habit to always give people unrealistic fantasies, Athena!"

The clock in the room rang a few times slowly. Athena and Mrs. Hudson stood in front of the dining table holding hands and looked straight at Sherlock. Mrs. Hudson said angrily: "Sherlock! How can you Don't have the least sympathy for that girl? You are a cruel bad guy, and if you continue like this for the rest of your life, no girl will like you!"

Unexpectedly, Sherlock laughed after hearing this: "Oh! That's great! I wish all the girls in the world would hate me. Married life is a cage, and girls are poison. Once they live together, no matter how beautiful a girl is, she will Become chattering bitter wives, they will spend a lot of time just to pick out a fancy dress, and they have agreed to go to a ballet together and they will be half an hour late!

I can't stand the endless waiting, and I'd rather be a staunch celibate for that!Or in other words, I'm married to my job, and my job is the perfect wife I've been pursuing all my life!It is loyal to me and keeps me forever warm. "

"Oh! come on! That's your good friend Professor Higgins again! What are you gentlemen talking about? Everyone in the world falls in love at least once, Even if some people's love takes a long time to meet, even if some people's love does not respond for life. But when you really fall into it, everything you say now will be overturned eventually!

Sherlock!You say such things now just because you haven't met the person you like!But I always believe that you will meet sooner or later, maybe it is recently! "

Mrs. Hudson did not forget to raise her eyebrows and look at Sherlock after she finished speaking, although the response she got was still Sherlock's indifferent hum.

Athena stepped forward and snatched the newsboy hat from Sherlock's head, picked up the rag on the table, and rubbed it on Sherlock's head indiscriminately, making his hair messy like a bird's nest before stopping. : "Now! It's just now! You're a servant, not a nobleman. There's really no need for your hair to be so tidy!"

Sherlock stared blankly at Athena in front of her. She should not be too obvious about her retaliation. Sherlock looked at Athena angrily and suppressed his anger. He still gritted his teeth and said, "Athena, when you were young, I I always thought that you would become a fool when you grow up, but I didn’t expect you to become a devil now! Mommy will be happy when she finds out, after all, devils are always better than fools!"

"Thank you for complimenting my dear brother!" Athena looked at his messy hair and smiled triumphantly.

The doorbell downstairs rang suddenly, and Athena just picked up her handbag and said: "Take my paint box and tool box, my dear servant Sherlock! Mike and I will wait for you downstairs, don't worry Slow down! Oops! It's rare to find a generous employer like me these days! Tsk tsk tsk..."

While teasing Sherlock jokingly, Athena looked back to say goodbye to Mrs. Hudson. The pitiful Sherlock, who was wearing a chicken-nest head, reluctantly picked up two large wooden boxes and followed Athena closely, even though he was still talking. I didn't know what to curse, but my body still accepted all Athena's instructions very honestly.

Straight into the carriage, Mycroft still disliked him for being too slow, and he blamed him for being too clumsy for delaying the appointment with the prince.

"Athena, you don't need to say anything when you meet Prince Albert, just draw your picture at a distance from him. Even if you hear something, just pretend you didn't hear it, okay?" Mycroft put away his pocket watch and looked Asked Athena to explain.

Athena nodded and replied: "Got it! Keep it secret! But Mike... Since I promised to help you with this favor, you should give Melina a chance anyway? Aren't all maids taught? You have to give She has a chance!"

"Wow!" Mycroft laughed in surprise, "My little girl now knows how to make a deal with her brother, she really has grown up!"

"Heh~ she knows much more than that!" Sherlock said puffed up, but Mycroft just gave him a stern look, and said seriously: "Shelley! Keep up your professionalism, don't worry about it because of this." It’s because I asked you to help and you just pretended to be inappropriate. I said that this matter is very important. Just look at who we are going to meet, and you should understand this truth!”

As Mycroft said, he did not forget to tap Sherlock's calf with his cane, arousing his attention and making him pay attention to this matter instead of always fighting against Athena.

"Allright! Allright!" Sherlock nodded impatiently, holding his hands on his chest like a child without saying a word.

Athena continued to say to Mycroft: "Promise me to give Melina a chance, and I promise that I will finish today's painting well. No matter what you want to do secretly, I will pretend that I didn't hear it. How about the second person mentioning it?"

Mycroft pursed his lips, and said for a long time: "Okay! There is only one chance! It's settled!" After that, Mycroft tapped Sherlock again with his cane and said, "You take Vettel to Baker Street Go, I just want to leave Vettel to take care of you! I will let Vettel teach her well. Even if she cannot be a qualified maid in the end, Vettel can at least teach her some means of making a living, so that she The chances of finding a decent job are also greatly increased.”

"Why me again?" Sherlock looked at him suspiciously.

Mycroft just raised his head and said to himself: "Are you planning to send a telegram home to ask Mommy for this month's living expenses?"

"Ok! Ok! Isn't it just to pick up Vettel? What's the big deal!" Sherlock nodded helplessly, threatening himself with money every now and then, but he was helpless.

The number one detective in London probably wouldn't be able to survive without his brother's help, so it's really shameful to say it!

The carriage drove all the way into Buckingham Palace, and the one who opened the door was Vettel who had been waiting at the door for a long time.Vettel's age is about the same as Sherlock's, and he looks a bit mature only because of a little hair loss, but today Vettel, who is wearing a top hat to cover his hair, not only looks young and handsome, but also has a gentleman's demeanor far surpassing Sherlock's.

He smiled and stretched out his hand and Athena walked down. Athena looked at Vettel and smiled and said, "Vettel, you look really handsome today."

"Oh! Thank you, miss, for your compliment!" Vettel smiled slightly, and continued his work to help Mycroft get off the carriage.

The three Fu family brothers and sisters who were introduced to Buckingham Palace like honored guests have their own thoughts. Athena looked around the palace. There is probably only one chance to come here with such an identity. She naturally refused to let go of any landscape.

In the end, waiting at the end of the hall was His Royal Highness wearing a navy uniform, ribbons and medals, and full of formal attire.

"His Royal Highness Prince Albert, your painter has arrived!" Mycroft leaned slightly and said calmly.

The man called Prince Albert turned around slowly. His handsome face and stalwart figure could amaze thousands of girls. He had one hand on his sword hilt, but his eyes were only on Athena. Look up and down.

He approached with a charming smile, unreasonably stretched out his hand and said, "Wow! Mike, you didn't say that such a beautiful lady would come to take a portrait of me."

Athena was about to extend her hand politely, but Mycroft suddenly stood in front of her.

Mycroft held the prince's hand and kissed the back of his hand before he straightened up and said solemnly: "This is my sister Athena, I follow the Queen's and Crown Prince's wishes to find a painter who will keep a secret for you, Your Highness. The reason for this must be clear to you! In order to prevent your scandal from spreading to outsiders, we should start as soon as possible!"

After hearing this, Prince Albert immediately withdrew his hand and took two steps back.He no longer looked at Athena, and the teasing and teasing in his tone quickly disappeared, and he said restrainedly and indifferently: "Then let's start now! Mike and...Miss Holmes!"

"Very well! Your Highness!" Mycroft sent Prince Albert away in front of Athena, then turned to look at Athena and whispered: "The farther away from this stallion, the better!"

Athena raised her eyebrows: "Understood!"
