"It's really the first time I drink this kind of drink! Is there any more?" Prince George looked at the little liquid left in the cup with great curiosity, and only put the teacup down.

Athena smiled and said: "Dear Your Highness, you have to take it easy, you've already drank a whole bottle in just this way. This is Coke! It will taste better with ice cubes in summer!"

Although she said so, she still took out another bottle of drink from the cabinet and handed it to Prince George's servant.Before the servant opened the lid, Prince George grabbed it and studied it carefully.

Duchess Mary and Princess Alice are still admiring her most personal paintings in Athena's room, but Prince George is already immersed in this drink he has never drunk before.He looked at the ordinary glass bottle in his hand, and couldn't help looking at Athena curiously, "Is this coca leaf cola the good wine you got when you were studying painting in France?"

"No! This is a Mario drink improved by my brother's good friend Dr. Watson. After improvement, it is not only non-alcoholic, but also has a calming and soothing effect because of the extremely low amount of coca leaves in it."

"Non-alcoholic? Are you serious? There is no such delicious non-alcoholic drink on the market." Prince George was even more excited when he heard this, "If it is really non-alcoholic, it would be an extremely What a healthy drink!"

Athena fiddled with the drawing board in her hand and said: "It can be said that you won't get drunk even if you drink ten bottles here! But... I'm afraid your stomach and stomach won't be able to stand the bubbles in this coca leaf cola And the sugar in it. But for me, coca leaf cola is obviously a better choice than the alcohol that makes people overly dependent.

correct!Besides the people who live in this house, you are the first distinguished guest to drink this drink.My landlord and his wife are in the coca leaf cola business, but the output is not large at the beginning. If you like it... I can only give you a box first, and take it home to taste. "

"Really?" Prince George looked at Athena with a smile, and she quickly nodded and replied, "Of course! I dare not lie to you even if I am so brave!"

As she said that, she got up and looked at the servant beside Prince George and said, "Please follow me! There is a box here in the kitchen, you can move this box of coca leaf cola to your car now, so as to save His Royal Highness Later, you will blame me for talking empty words again!"

Athena pointed out a box of coca leaf cola under the kitchen cupboard to Prince George's valet, then looked at Prince George and said, "I have to ask Princess Alice to come out quickly. Your Highness simply came to my room to see the painting exhibition!"

Athena complained as she walked out, but Prince George in the living room only looked up and smiled at Athena perfunctorily, then lowered his head and continued to study the coca leaf cola in his hand.Just looking at Prince George's enthusiastic appearance, she already felt that she could see the dawn of victory.

After walking out of the living room, Athena went down the stairs all the way, and the maids accompanying Princess Alice stood quietly like bronze statues at the corner of the stairs.Athena nodded slightly to the maid and smiled, "Are the princess and Miss Mary still inside?"

"Yes, Miss Holmes!" The maid still had the official smile. Athena raised her eyebrows and walked in. If Mycroft and Vettel were present, they would definitely say that this maid is May. A model for Linna to follow.

The so-called invisibility of emotions, maintaining a fake smile and standard etiquette at all times are the necessary skills for a maid.But for Athena, it's really meaningless to let her deal with this dummy, robot all day long.

Athena stopped by the door, raised her hand and knocked slowly.

"Dong dong!"

Inside, the two ladies who were bending over and concentrating on admiring their paintings were disturbed by the sudden knock on the door, and turned their heads just now.

When Princess Alice saw Athena, the smile on her face became even brighter. She excitedly walked over and took Athena's hand and said, "Your paintings are really beautiful! Whether it's a sketch or an oil painting, the light is so beautiful. Contrast, use of color, and even the description of artistic conception can be said to be a realm of its own. However, the technique and application are only second, and your imagination is even more outstanding."

Princess Alice led Athena to the painting that Mary had been looking at, and said with a smile: "This painting is really beautiful! The priest under the altar has both struggle and piety on his face. The entanglements and fears are almost ready to come out!"

Athena looked slightly at her own drawing of Lestrade, the last painting she made before returning to London.God knows what yellow waste I had in my head when I first drew it. It's a pity that Princess Alice doesn't go to China to take the college entrance examination for reading comprehension... It's a pity!

What struggle and piety?Isn't this just a priest kneeling on the altar to pray!

However, Athena still underestimated this Princess Alice. She pointed to the priest's slightly loose Roman collar, and the white collar seemed to be hanging precariously on the collar.

"Is the priest's half-loose Roman collar a sign that he has doubts about his faith? Is he helpless to ask his God for guidance because of his suffering, while at the same time bewildered by the injustice of the world ?”

Princess Alice became more and more excited as she talked, she only looked at Athena and kept asking, "Really? Really?"

Athena was amazed by Princess Alice's remarks. Why didn't she think so much when she drew it?When I drew it myself, I thought that Lestrade's neck and collarbone looked good. Wouldn't it be a pity not to show off?

How can I... have such a low level of ideological awareness, and my mind is full of yellow waste?

Princess Alice was still shaking her wrist, Athena only smiled perfunctorily and said, "Yes! Yes!"

In the end, it was Princess Mary who came out to solve the problem. She patted Princess Alice and smiled: "Okay! We have been watching for so long, go and let Athena paint for you! Haven't you been looking forward to it for a long time?" ?”

Princess Alice nodded quickly when she heard this, and ran out very lively by herself.Princess Mary was still standing in front of the painting, she smiled slightly: "I have a different opinion from Alice, what I see from this painting is...**!"

"**?What**?"

Mary smiled and walked out with Athena, and said in a very low voice: "Man's sex to woman, woman to man... sex! Most of the drawings in this painting are in the When painting religious symbols such as churches and altars, even the use of colors is extremely typical and depressing.

However, the only priest broke all the brilliance covered by religion, churches, and altars on the surface. He has the most real and existing emotions as a human being. "

After that, Mary just lifted her skirt and walked up the stairs. Only Athena was still standing at the door of the room. She looked at the painting in the room in a daze, and couldn't help thinking that one day this painting would be called a real painting. The master has a look.It's also good to let myself see Inspector Lestrade, what kind of emotions he has clearly discerned.

Thinking of this, Athena just shook her head and walked upstairs, not even noticing the leisurely arc of her mouth subconsciously raised.

Prince George in the room was recommending the bottle of coca leaf cola to Princess Alice. The brown liquid poured directly from the glass bottle was bubbling and bubbling, but it really shocked Princess Alice. Never seen a drink like this.

Why is it like a chemical reagent?

Even the usually calm Princess Mary was attracted by the unknown liquid she saw for the first time. It was really funny to say that the three royal nobles sat on the sofa and studied a bottle of Coke.

Athena was sitting in front of the drawing board opposite. Although she was still adjusting the height of the drawing board and the paints, she kept paying attention to the reactions of the three from the corner of her eye.

On a winter afternoon in London, although the outside is still wet and cold, the fireplace inside the house is extremely warm. The little princess named Alice has beautiful golden curly hair, and the still immature girl's face still has some baby fat.

She may be the happiest member of the royal family that Athena has met, because she does not have to bear too much responsibility and pressure, and she is the only one of the youngest son Prince Leopold, who is the most distressed by Her Majesty the Queen. Daughter, she lived almost brilliantly.

Athena occasionally raised her head to look at her, and then drew the outline. She didn't ask Princess Alice to put on some stiff poses, she just captured her most outstanding expression and drew a frame.

"Princess!" The manservant who came up panting suddenly interrupted all the warmth and joy in the room. The anxious sweat on the manservant's face was clearly visible, because he was galloping in the cold wind, and even his lips were black and purple from the cold. .

He looked tremblingly at the people in the room, and his expression didn't seem to be very good. Mary was still very calm when she saw her servant's expression.

Wei Wei got up and looked at Athena with a smile: "Go ahead, I'll go out first!"

After speaking, he walked out slowly with the servant. Seeing the flustered expression of Mary's servant, the expression on Prince George's face suddenly sank. He put down the Coke bottle in his hand and followed out.

As an outsider, Athena naturally just took care of her own affairs and let it go. She didn't care about secrets or not. Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing.

"Ring ring ring..." The phone rang suddenly in the living room, but it completely interrupted Athena's plan to concentrate on painting. She put down the brush and looked at Princess Alice and whispered: "Forgive me, I have to first Answer the phone."

Princess Alice first looked at Athena and nodded, then poked her head out curiously to see what George and Mary outside were listening to the servants say.

Athena turned away and answered the phone. It was Mycroft.

Athena smiled and said, "Why did you call at this time? Did Sherlock see Moriarty?"

Mycroft's voice was very cold: "He has confirmed that it is Ralph Moriarty, that's right! But I didn't call because of this matter. Are Prince George, Duchess Mary, and Princess Alice in Baker? street?"

"That's right! Didn't we agree to paint Princess Alice today? I told you before! What's wrong?" Athena asked back.

Mycroft has always had a very good memory, he will not ask about these already known things for no reason, if he asks, it only means one thing... something must have happened!

After a short silence, Mycroft on the receiver continued: "Something happened to Prince Albert. I have received the news now, and this matter has not been spread yet. But members of the royal family cannot If you stay in Baker Street again, you tell Prince George to let them go back to Buckingham Palace now, and you must let them go back immediately!"

"What happened?" Athena immediately turned her head to look at the panic-stricken people who were still standing outside the door.

But Mycroft only said: "Save it later and ask Lestrade yourself! You should also prepare and change into low-key clothes, it is best to pick out one of Melina's clothes I will pick you up later, you have to persuade Lestrade to help with this matter, otherwise it will be even more difficult to solve."

Lestrade?Why did he get entangled with the royal family again?

Just as Athena wanted to ask clearly, Mycroft on the opposite side had already hung up the phone.Athena put down the phone and was still in a state of confusion, but looking at the Duchess Mary and Prince George outside the door, she still truthfully relayed Mycroft's words.

"Your Highness, my brother Mike called and asked you to go back to Buckingham Palace immediately." Athena walked out while talking, but what she didn't expect was... Mary stood aside and wept alone.

what is happening?

Prince George frowned and looked worried, but he still maintained proper etiquette when speaking, and said: "Even if Mike doesn't call, we have to go first! I am very sorry Miss Holmes, today is really You have failed me!"

After finishing speaking, he went straight in and picked up Princess Alice. Before Athena even asked Mary anything, she walked down the stairs alone in tears.This sudden change not only made Athena very puzzled, but even Princess Alice, who was smiling just now, yelled for no reason.

Although Athena didn't know what was going on, she knew that the matter must be very serious just by hearing Mycroft's tone on the phone just now, so she could only take out a pair of her own private paintings and present them to Princess Alice to comfort her. Fan, just sent the little princess away.

But what happened... Since Prince Albert was involved, it must be another royal scandal!Could it be that the love letter written by Prince Albert to some man was used as a threat again?

Although Athena was at a loss, she could only obey Mycroft's instructions, put on Melina's maid dress, and obediently wait for Mycroft to come to answer her questions.
