[Black Butler] Ate that spider

Torrance has had a hard time of late.

Of course, life is like this, there will always be some ups and downs, some days will be happy and smooth, and some days will be bad.

Perhaps the happy life some time ago used up all of Torrance's luck, since Shire and his three servants and a Sai who not only doesn't need wages but is disgusted by Shire every day, also brazenly refuses to leave Once Bass arrives at the Torrance mansion, his luck slides below zero at the speed of light.The tone of the whole person's life is the same as that of Alice who was transferred into the rabbit hole. It keeps going down and down, and I really don't know when it will be the end.

Just after breakfast, he ran after Ye Qingzhou who was passing by hurriedly for a while with a bulging stomach. He was patted on the head and left a sentence to go play by himself.

Really unhappy.

Looking at Ye Qingzhou who was in a hurry, Torrance knew that if she kept pestering her, she would be hated, so she wandered around the mansion reluctantly.Why do you say he doesn't go to class?It can only be said that with Torrance's brutality, all his teachers have been transferred now. .Teaching like a quail, how dare you ask him.

He walked slowly to the hall, and was blinded by the pink ribbons covering the entire wall, and the same classmate Shire who was stunned was also almost blinded.Just when the two of them were stunned, a yellow hurricane rolled in with smoke and dust, rushed to Charles, hugged him, and then spun a dozen times like a rope with a stone hanging at the end hitting a branch at high speed It barely stopped, and as soon as it stopped, the girl hugged Charles and kept rubbing. Seeing that Charles, who only reached the girl's shoulder, was rubbed totteringly, Torrance swallowed, thinking that women were such things. . .It was really dangerous.

"Let go! Who are you!" Charles pushed the girl away and asked with a blushing face.

"Xia...Charles...how is this!" The girl showed a crying expression, and said aggrievedly, "I'm Elizabeth!"

"Elizabeth? Are you kidding me? Why are you so much taller than me?" Charles looked at Elizabeth, who was a head taller than him, and felt that he was not well. He clearly remembered that Elizabeth came to his house to play more than ten days ago. I was still about the same age as myself, so after a few days. . .

"Please allow me to explain in detail for Miss Elizabeth." Sebastian stepped forward and led Elizabeth aside to say something.

Torrance stood by the railing on the second floor, squinted her eyes and looked down, seeing Elizabeth hugging Charles again with a surprised face, seeing the three servants of the Charles family playing tricks to make Charles happy, and standing still. Sebas, who cleaned up the mess behind everyone, probably had this feeling of so-called happiness.

Charles has always been very happy, looking at Charles who showed a shy smile in the crowd, Torrance understood the meaning of this sentence more and more.I couldn't help but replace myself in the center of the crowd, imagining what it would be like when I was surrounded by everyone, but I couldn't imagine it.

Even if people who have never seen colors read all the books in the world, they can't conceive the so-called first green of spring in their minds.

He has only experienced darkness, so what kind of strength can he imagine the outline of light?

At least he didn't have that kind of power, so he stood behind the banister of the second-floor staircase, trying to hide himself in the shadows so that Charles wouldn't know that guy called Torrance, even though it was his own home, Even if he stayed in the house every day and never went out, no one, be it a girl or a boy, would come into his house with full of thoughts and blessings to visit him.

The so-called loneliness is nothing more than that.

"Speaking of which, girls grow up really fast," said Charles, who reluctantly accepted that it was Elizabeth, "but I will also grow up quickly."

No way, Torrance was lying on the railing, complaining silently in her heart, even in three years you will be four centimeters shorter than me, no, no, no, I will grow taller in three years, and so will Elizabeth, just You can't, big~short~son~ By the way, I imagined maliciously in my heart ten years later when Charles and Elizabeth got married and could only stand on tiptoe to kiss Elizabeth. Torrance suddenly felt that she was in a good mood.

"What... It's too much, I'm already wearing the lowest shoes..." Elizabeth thought she said in a low voice, but in fact, even Torrance, who was farthest away, could hear her clearly.

Torrance swore that he saw quite distinctly seven or eight red crosses appearing on Charles's head, and he laughed unceremoniously.

As soon as he smiled, Charles found out where Torrance was. He cleared his throat and said to Torrance, "You are laughing, Marquis Torrance, may I have such an honor to invite you to our party?" ?"

"Of course, of course." With the words of agreement, he walked down the only step he remembered in his mind that fit the nobleman. He seemed to be at ease, but in fact his body was tense, fearing that he would accidentally expose his relationship with this room. A part of it that is different for everyone.

That was something he had hidden deeply, afraid of being brought up.

"Wow, is this the Marquis of Torrance? Did you take Charles in temporarily? Thank you, hey, this is a gift specially prepared for you." Saying this, Elizabeth handed over a gift box wrapped with a pink ribbon to Torrance, with green eyes facing Torrance's blue eyes, showed a pure smile, as sweet as the healing smile of the little girl next door.

Torrance blushed for a moment, and he took the box, using both hands, because he wasn't sure if it would be a little frivolous to use only one.After taking the box, he held it in his hand, flipped it over seven times and didn't think about whether it would be rude to open it here. You know, this is the first time someone gave him a gift without any reason.

"Open it, Torrance, this is Liz's kindness. But don't be surprised if there is something like a pink dress inside." Charles seemed to sense his embarrassment.

"Even if it's a pink dress, I'll happily accept it." Torrance said indifferently, with a cold expression, no one could see that this was from his heart.

"Really, I won't do such an excessive thing, Charles!" Elizabeth shouted at Charles, and then turned to Torrance, "This is a gift I carefully selected, I hope you like it, Torrance Marquis of the West."

When it was called Shire, it was a Christian name, why did it become its surname when it came to itself?Torrance thought in his heart, suppressed the subtle discomfort, and slowly opened the box. Inside was a swan carved from purple crystal. The crystal clear purple and exquisite shape are indeed the kind that girls will like. kind of fancy.Although. . .No, I like it very much.

"I like it very much, thank you." He lowered his head, hiding his eyes under his eyelids, and said slowly, with a wooden face, only slightly trembling hands betrayed his restless heart.After saying this thank you, he found an opportunity to say goodbye by saying that he still had things to do—in fact, he knew that he had nothing to do.Walking to the corner of the corridor, he couldn't help turning his head, and took another look at Charles who was surrounded by everyone. At this time, Elizabeth was just holding a lot of gifts for him. Seeing the mountains of gifts, he bowed his head, The purple swan whose eyes fell on the palm of his hand had turned into disgust.

If you never thought of visiting me, then don't let me see you step into my world.

If it is said that the gift given to me was just a whim, then it would be better not to give me anything at all, and to take away even that little bit of humble extravagant hope.

If you have the whole world, then don't appear in my sight, because of that. . . .It just makes me realize how poor I am.

Poor Torrance, who has nothing, and even your presents to me are but scraps from the great pile in the Shire.

Thinking of this, he simply raised his hand and threw the swan onto the wall, the crystal splashed into pieces, the swan's slender neck was broken in half, and the wings flew out, bouncing on the ground several times before landing.

The sound of the shattering crystal was loud, at least everyone in the hall heard it, and Torrance still kept raising her hand when everyone rushed over.

"What are you doing!" Charles asked, frowning fiercely.

"I'm sorry," Torrance glanced at the wide-eyed Elizabeth. There was an aggrieved look in her green eyes, and she didn't dare to look any further. "I don't like such disgusting things at all." He raised his chin , glanced at Charles with the whites of his eyes, and the words spit out from his slightly parted lips were extremely harsh.

"You are too much! Are you ruining Liz's heart like this?!"

"Who is going too far? It's you, Shire! Being a guest is a bit self-conscious! Make someone else's living room look like shit, did your tutor eat it?!"

"you..."

"I'm sorry! It's not about Shire's business, it's my own decision, so I'm sorry, Mr. Torrance." Elizabeth said hurriedly, eager to calm the quarrel, but it seemed that it could only intensify.

"That's why...so..." Torrance gritted her teeth, and said why did you call me Mr. Torrance, you don't like me that much?No, he raised his eyes and saw that everyone in Phantomhine's family showed disapproving expressions to him, and a surge of anger swept all his reason, "Don't be so self-righteous! I...I hate you ! Who would like a gift from you, such a disgusting thing is ugly. It’s ugly!"

"Why... so..." Elizabeth didn't know how to deal with it at all. She looked at Charles blankly, and saw Charles put one hand in his pocket and took out a glove. She hurriedly grabbed Charles, "do not do that!"

"Let go of Liz, I want to fight him!"

Seeing the two people arguing, Baruto touched his head and said helplessly: "Marquis Torrance, although it is rude to mess up your hall, it is not necessarily good to break someone else's gift." How much, so, let everyone take a step back, the young master and you apologize to each other..."

Torrance didn't answer, he took out the gloves in his pocket, threw them on Charles, and sneered, "I don't need you, I want to fight you, dwarf."

This time it really hit the spot, and Charles struggled to break free from Elizabeth.

struggling. . . .struggling. . .Damn it just can't break free, who can tell him why Elizabeth is so strong!

Feeling that he couldn't fight this time, Tolan Xi cut, put his hands in his pockets and turned to leave.

In the middle of the night, a figure sneaked into the corridor on the second floor, looking for something under the faint moonlight.Suddenly, all the wall lamps were turned on, and Ye Qingzhou held an intact purple swan in his hand and asked, "Are you... looking for this?"

The light shone on Torrance's face, he covered his face subconsciously, and peeked at Ye Qingzhou from between his fingers.

"No, my Patriarch's ring is gone, and I'm looking for it now." After speaking, Torrance took the ring off his index finger and put it in his pocket, and shook his empty finger.

"Since this isn't what I'm looking for, I'll give this wonderful thing to Hannah. It's really beautiful. It's made of high-quality amethyst, and it's carved with care. It looks like a well-chosen gift. No, it can be seen from the color of purple, which represents dignity without being feminine..."

"What exactly do you want to say, just say it!"

"...I just want to say, if you feel regretful, you should apologize. I think Miss Elizabeth will forgive you."

"I don't regret it at all! Whether it's Charles or Elizabeth, they're all annoying guys!"

Ye Qingzhou sighed, squatted down, stretched out a hand and squeezed Torrance's face, "You are now, like, a person who feels jealous because he sees others playing together, but doesn't know how to join , so I can only use the method of hurting others to push others far away." Seeing Torrance's flickering gaze, Ye Qingzhou pressed one hand on Torrance's heart, "Actually, this place has been silently Crying, longing for others to get close to you first, longing for others to see through your disguise, longing for the tolerance of others, right?"

"No, in my heart, I just hate each of them."

"Then why did you sneak up in the middle of the night to find the fragments? If you really don't cherish this gift..."

"I repeat, I'm only here to find the ring."

"Well, since you don't like that gift, I have no choice but to throw it away..." Saying that, Ye Qingzhou opened the window and made a gesture of throwing something, but was immediately grabbed by his hand.

Torrance broke away from his hand, snatched the crystal swan forcibly, and held it tightly in his palm, "Throwing such expensive things around casually, do you think the Torrance family has a lot of property? You spider is really a waste ! As the head of the Torrance family, I deeply condemn your current behavior, write me a thousand-word review, bastard!" After finishing speaking, he secretly stuffed the crystal into his pocket, pretending to be angry walk away.

Torrance walked away, but a figure stepped out of the shadows.

"He... actually came..." Charles said incredulously, "Obviously..."

"Well, he will definitely come, because for the master, it is indeed worth cherishing. It is the first time I receive a gift from a friend."

"The way he treats his friends is really special." Charles sneered, "What about you, why did you do all this? You who woke me up in the middle of the night to watch this scene, what is it for? If it is forgiveness It's okay for Torrance, but he needs to apologize to Leeds first."

"He really needs to apologize, but I'm not for this, I just want you to promise me one thing, when Torrance feels regret for what he has done, please forgive him, and then say no Accept him like you would accept your best brother."

"Why me..." The rest of the words were silenced by Ye Qingzhou's sad expression, "I promise you, but if he goes too far, I will still deal with him."

"Please." Ye Qingzhou said, when he turned to leave, Charles felt as if he saw a strand of blood flowing down his sleeve, hidden in the red carpet.

Maybe it's just vertigo.
