quiet place

Prom day.

Resplendent and resplendent, brightly lit, and staggered.

"Victoria!"

Alex yelled St. Rigg's name in a low voice. Now he didn't want to care whether anyone would notice his behavior. He just wanted to know what's the point of her coming when the dance was about to end.

He foolishly waited for his first dance with her. He would definitely become a laughingstock tomorrow, but it didn't matter. How could she treat him like this? Could it be that she really didn't care about anyone's feelings? !

"Alex, the dance has just begun, don't worry."

St. Rieg raised her hand and took a glass of champagne. The light golden luster, under the bright light, looked very charming. She approached Alex, patted him on the shoulder, and walked past him.

When St. Rigg walked in front of William, everyone slowly stopped talking, and they looked at them unconsciously, but she smiled slightly, her green eyes were full of joy, and she only said a word of blessing.

"Good luck."

Is this a threat?

Although William wasn't supported by the St. Rieg family, they had promoted him before. It was hard to be stabbed in the back like this.

"May your mother be well, Victoria."

William, who had the trump card, seemed to be a different person. The sudden power made him unwilling to bow to Victoria. He thought that she should submit to him, just like he used to, although he didn't want to admit it.

St. Rieg pursed her lips. She looked at William quietly, a person she didn't even remember his last name. Who gave him the courage to mention her mother?

"William!"

Although he was still angry with Victoria, Alex did not allow anyone to be disrespectful to her. He glared at William. Anyway, in the eyes of everyone, he was just a reckless kid who loved to fight and was useless.

"Alex," Victoria pulled the big golden-haired boy who was about to walk towards William, and gave him a soothing smile, "Don't be with him."

Victoria had never cared about people like William, and if he could really step on her little uncle, she wouldn't mind helping him.

But he shouldn't mention her mother. Her mother is just an angel who strayed into the mortal world. She should spend the rest of her life bathed in the bright but soft golden sunlight. Most holy hymn.

"it?"

Alex swore that he was just reflexive and picked on Victoria's language problem. He didn't understand Victoria's meaning at first, so when he saw Victoria's sudden smile and heard everyone's laughter, He was a little dazed for a moment.

Patting Alex's arm again, Victoria walked to the stage inlaid with jade, nodded to the band members, and a dream wedding resounded throughout the auditorium.

"I think you all know David St. Rigg."

Victoria's soft voice, with a slow tone, she speaks awkward old English, bright light hits her silver-gray dress, and the all-inclusive forest green eyes are the most beautiful embellishment. She doesn't wear any accessories, except that Earrings carved with the family crest of St. Rigg, one on each side, made of dark ancient wood, danced beside the white and smooth neck.

"My little uncle, a few days ago, married a very charming gentleman, and left England happily."

"I think you will soon forget the St. Rieg family, because I am the successor, and I have decided that in this life..."

"No marriage, no marriage."

"So, for St. Rieg's fall, can you carnival with me?"

"From tonight."

The cheerful music soon rang in their ears. Everyone seemed to be frightened by the news Victoria threw out, or maybe they were tempted by Victoria's words. They threw away the inherent etiquette and brought some madness unique to young people. We're still kids, it's in our nature to have fun.

"Not bad timing, although not the best."

Standing by the window, Holmes, whose hair was tousled by the wind, murmured in a low voice, rarely looking at Victoria critically.

William's complexion is extremely bad. His further development is based on the scandal of exposing David St. Rigg's sexuality. Now he has not only left the UK, but even the entire St. Rigg family related to him. into decline.

If it wasn't for William's understanding that he was nothing to most British nobles, he even thought that this was a trap set for him.

If William hadn't mentioned Victoria's mother, it would have been half a year before he heard the news about the downfall of the St. Rigg family.It can be said that he himself blocked the retreat.

As Sherlock Holmes said, this is not the best time, but it tells everyone that no matter how far St. Rieger is, he will not allow anyone to insult him, no matter the person who is insulted, for St. Rieger. wearing something.

No one can touch the glory of Saint Rieger.

"Victoria, are you friends with Holmes?"

Gathering his mind, Alex looked at Holmes who was standing by the handrail on the second floor and looked down at the crowd, and raised his eyebrows. He thought that the scandal they had in school was the only contact they had.

"The people who come here are all friends, Alex, remember to be friendly to Carl for a while, he is mean, and you are not much better."

Alex smiled helplessly. He looked at Victoria, ready to refute, but then he noticed that she was not looking at him, but instead kept her gaze on Holmes, with a hint of indistinct sadness.

"Hey…?"

Alex thought of a possibility, he frowned and licked his lips: "Have you taken a fancy to him?"

Pushing away Alex who came close to her ear because of asking a question, Victoria chuckled and nodded. When talking with that big Mr. Holmes, she was looking forward to it. What will happen to this little Holmes? of a person.

"Hey, you know..."

Before Alex finished speaking, Victoria thumped his strong arm lightly. Of course, she knew how fickle this little Holmes was and how inappropriate they were.

But if you like it, you like it.

"Go out and talk?"

Alex understood what Victoria was thinking. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and turned his head towards the garden outside the hall.

"Okay, you go there first, I'll change your shoes."

After the first dance with Alex, Victoria didn't want to wear high heels anymore, she still prefers low heels.

"you like me?"

Approaching the room and sitting on the sofa, Victoria had just taken off her shoes when Holmes' voice sounded at the door, full of doubts and puzzlement. He really couldn't guess that a girl like Victoria would actually treat him Interested in.

Frozen in place for a moment, Victoria sighed resignedly, who made her fall in love with such a temperamental guy.

"Mr. Holmes, it is not proper to ask a lady that question."

Victoria seemed to be slow, but in fact she was a little flustered. She put on the shoes she had just taken off again. She got up, her eyes reflected the bright golden light. At this moment, the golden green eyes were soul-stirring.

"Whocares?"

Holmes raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with some sarcasm, he was not interested in these etiquettes.

However, in Victoria's eyes, Holmes' impolite appearance was somewhat disdainful and rebellious, and his sharp-edged cheeks were simply dazzling.

"You have the final say." Victoria looked down at her feet that were unconsciously joined together, and pursed her lips.

"So, you love me."

This is an affirmative sentence.

Victoria raised her hand, covered her mouth, raised the corners of her mouth uncontrollably, her eyes flashed with a glint, silently expressing her affection.

Victoria was a little shy, and this was the first time she had such a vivid feeling since her mother had been ill for so many years.

"Mr. Holmes, I do not think you have come to this ball to ask that question."

Victoria collected her attention and looked directly at Holmes. The red and hot cheeks made Holmes a little curious. Noticing the change in Holmes' eyes, Victoria secretly said badly in her heart.

"I thought, that's what I came to this ball for."

Victoria felt a violent bombing sound in her ears, and she froze in place, with her small and smoky red lips slightly parted, as if she was on the edge of a bottomless cliff with a strong wind.

Victoria ignored the etiquette and walked away from Holmes in a panic.

Holmes looked at Victoria's leaving figure indifferently, his curiosity about emotions only existed for a while.

"Change your shoes?"

Alex raised his eyebrows and looked at Victoria with flushed cheeks, thinking about what might happen in the room she used to change clothes. He felt that the scandal between her and Holmes could be spread for a while, and this might be a good news for freshmen. A good story in the legend.

"Alex, I'm getting engaged to Babylon!"

Biting her lip, Victoria felt that she was really stupid just now, how could she express her feelings to Holmes? !

"Babylon is indeed a good choice, but until tomorrow, you will definitely find a way to cancel the engagement."

Alex, who knew Victoria very well, rolled her eyes. She had done too many things that didn't fit her personality, and even ruined other people's families, even though the family was the one who made fun of it first.

Alex didn't want Babylon to suffer the same treatment. Victoria became cruel and no one would care.And Babylon is a good man, young, in love with Victoria, wholeheartedly using all his property to find a way out for the St. Rieg family, handsome in appearance, with many hobbies, and his personality is not to mention.

Thinking about it, Alex felt, is it true that the character of a good man is no longer popular now? !

What is it about Sherlock Holmes that attracts Victoria?He's just a handsome and a little clever bastard, okay? !Although he has many advantages, just a high-functioning sociopath is enough for the St. Rigg family to die and will not agree.

"No! Alex, mom is going to move to the United States. Do you know that doctor named Strange? He is sure to perform mom's surgery!"

Sitting on the bench, accompanied by the gradually setting sun, Victoria told Alex all afternoon how she felt about Holmes and what she should do. When parting, Alex couldn't help hugging Holmes tightly. she.

He began to feel that the world was too unfair to her.

Victoria just adored Holmes.

"I have to go to America. Babylon knows Doctor Strange. He is the only choice."

Looking at the darkened sky and twinkling stars, Alex felt a little sad. Babylon is not as good as he thought, isn't it?

Babylon knew full well that Victoria could do anything for her mother.
