    When night began to slowly fall in Paris, the flowers in the garden of Baron Danglars' house began to lose their original beauty, and Miss Tanglar's birthday concert also came to an end.  In the afterglow of the sunset, the girl bathed in golden sunshine sang the last verse, and then narrowed her eyes slightly, as if enjoying the afterglow of dusk, and at this time, warm applause also sounded in the garden.  Most of these guests only regarded this concert as a social courtesy event before coming. However, they soon discovered that what they saw here today was genius skills and unparalleled enjoyment.  .  In just half a day, Miss Tanglar's birthday concert was very successful and left a deep impression on everyone in attendance. It also made people very regretful that such a genius was buried in the home of an upstart banker.  Inside the mansion, and I'm afraid there won't be much time to shine in the future.  Yes, the social world has always been very well-informed. The news that the Danglars family is about to marry Marshal Morcerf's family has already spread to almost everyone's ears. Everyone is just waiting for the two families to officially announce the news. At the same time,  Secretly envious of Albert de Morcerf's terrible luck in finding such a perfect fianc¨¦e.  By this time, Miss Danglars, who had been singing for a long time, of course had no energy to sing anymore. The guests began to move around freely, and she gathered with a small group of familiar friends.  Of course, there was no shortage of luxury at Baron Tanglar's house. All kinds of fine wines and delicacies were served. The guests gathered together in twos and threes. Miss Tanglar, who was originally the center of attention, was now able to enjoy something rare.  of leisure.  She is in a good mood now, her face is a little red, her usual cold and arrogant temperament has quietly disappeared, and her eyes are full of excitement and gratitude.  She drank the water from the cup in her hand, letting the warm liquid moisturize her throat, which had been overloaded for a long time.  "Thank you for attending I will never forget your help, never." After a moment, she whispered to her friends with full gratitude.  "People often say that only a tested friendship is a true friendship. Now I finally see it you are my true friends, and Eug¨¦nie de Danglars is a person who will never betray a friend."  After singing all afternoon, her voice was a little hoarse, but it was still extremely contagious, and because of the passion contained in it, it became particularly moving.  Standing in front of her were three of her classmates in the studio. They were also the only ones among the classmates who were willing to attend her birthday and farewell banquets. It was precisely because of the help of these people that her banquets were able to have so many guests.  People came over to cheer her on, and she felt extremely grateful for the friendship shown by her friends.  Seeing Eugenie being so excited, the three girls opposite, Matilda, Fran and Marie, all looked at each other in shock. They didn't expect Eugenie to take this matter so seriously.  "Don't take it to heart, Eugenie, we are just doing a little work. The one who should make you most proud today should be yourself." Matilda, the older of the three, spoke first. She is always so gentle, and her eyes are filled with emotion.  Full of decent concern, "Your performance was so perfect. Although I was prepared for it, I was still intoxicated So you deserve all the praise you have won, and you deserve our praise." "Yes.  Ah, Eugenie, I'm really grateful for my decision, which prevented me from missing such an excellent performance." Mary on the side also chimed in, "Laura and the others have always spoken cruelly to everyone. In fact, I have long disliked them.  I can tolerate other things, but this time I will definitely not be able to do what they want. I must support you, otherwise your talent will be buried" "Thank you Thank you" Being treated like this by two friends  Eugenie became even more excited. She thanked him repeatedly, and then continued to drink water to cover up the tears in her eyes.  Mary is really a cunning kitten.  Looking at Mary with an attentive face, Fran smiled to herself.  Mary had always been afraid of falling out with Laura and the others, so she didn't want to come over at all before. It was Fran who forcefully asked her to choose a side, so she had no choice but to rush over. But when she got here, she said  He was determined to come over to support Eugenie despite all opinions, and he was really clever in his scheming.  Of course, Fran knew clearly in her heart that Fran had no intention of exposing her friend's trick, and she also helped.  "Okay, Eugenie, you have said that we are friends, so it is right for us to support you. There is no need to thank you so much - just treat us as guests normally. I have always heard that your family  Enjoyment is very luxurious, give me a chance todayWant to see the world?  " "Of course, of course.  "Eugenie held back her tears, then smiled and nodded, "Then let's start with the drinks.  " Then, she gestured to a maid next to her, and then the maid knowingly took a tray with several small cups on it, and then asked her friends to take it over. " There are cream, chocolate and  Crushed ice cubes, with some special flavorings inside, very delicious.  She introduced to her friends, "The weather is so hot now, let's use this to cool down first."  " In order to maintain her voice, she rarely drank cold drinks or stimulating drinks for a period of time after practicing singing. She only drank warm purified water. But of course, she cannot use such simple drinks when entertaining friends. " Fran continued  After passing the cup, he looked inside, then carefully scooped out a spoonful and tasted it in his mouth. "Ah, it does taste good, but the feeling is not that surprising, right?"  "She made a quick evaluation. "That's because the final seasoning hasn't been added yet" Eugenie protracted, and then made another mysterious gesture to the maid. Fran looked at it in confusion.  He looked at the maid, and then he was surprised to find that the other party brought a glass bottle from the side. Inside the glass bottle was a ball of golden liquid, which was rolling with the maid's footsteps, "Is this wine?"  "After a moment, Fran made a guess. "Yes, this is wine.  "Miss Danglars nodded, and then continued to explain, "To be precise, this is the ale specially brewed by my father in his manor. It tastes very good, but mixing it with ice cream is the way I discovered how to drink it. He also  You have never enjoyed such delicious food. Drink some before the ice melts. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.  " "But this is drinking!  Fran's eyes widened slightly, "We're not ready to drink yet, right?"  " Fran's reaction stunned the other three people. They looked at each other, and then laughed at the same time. "You what's wrong with you?  "Looking at the strange behavior of her friends, Fran became even more confused, "Did I say something wrong?  " "There's nothing wrong It's just it's a little funny. We just didn't expect that at this time, there would be such a well-behaved child.  "Miss Danglars tried her best to hold back her laughter, but she still kept smiling. She patted Fran's smooth cheek, and then sighed in a low voice, "Oh, oh, our Miss Treville is really a good child.  ah!  " "You" Fran blinked, then looked at her friends, "You have all drank.  " "Yeah, I've had it a long time ago I don't know how many times.  "Mary nodded generously, seeming to be proud of her secret resistance to society. "I I often go to the palace, and sometimes I have to attend banquets. I have to I have to drink something.  Matilda looked away with embarrassment. Fran suddenly blushed. "My brother said that children are not allowed to drink until they are adults."  So I thought I thought everyone was like this!  " "So, it's you and not us who are weird.  "Eugenie made an assertion, then she picked up the wine bottle that had been opened by the maid, and then filled the glass in front of her with wine. "Children these days can't be so obedient, otherwise they will lose a lot of things~" Jin  The yellow wine slowly soaked the white cream and ice, and then submerged the black chocolate. The various colors were mixed together, making it look colorful. After pouring it, she closed the lid and then gently.  After shaking it a few times to let the wine blend better with the ingredients, she handed it to Fran. "Then, little girl, you can try a new feeling today, and you will thank me.  "She smiled and seduced Fran, who was already a little overwhelmed, just like the snake facing Eve in the Garden of Eden. Fran looked at the cup stretched out in front of her, not knowing what to do, and this  By the time, she found that Mary and Matilda had already taken the initiative to pour wine into their own glasses. It was obvious that they did not reject the so-called new experience at all. ¡°My brother would be angry if he knew about it.  "She still struggled a little in the end. "Wouldn't it be better if we didn't let him know?  Eugenie asked, "We are the only ones here now, what else do you have to be afraid of?"  " Fran thought for a while and felt that it made sense. She looked at her friends who were trying the drinks, and then she suddenly felt the urge to drink. "People's curiosity and fear are revealed in front of their friends.?A shameful pride can always defeat timidity, and this time is no exception.  "Just take a few sips and have a taste. No one will tell anyone anyway" In the end, she excused herself in her mind.  With trembling hands, she raised the seemingly heavy cup to her mouth, then opened her red lips and took a sip as if tasting poison.  The ale mixed with the taste of chocolate soon brought a bitter taste to her mouth, almost making her spit it out.  But I don¡¯t know why, but this bitterness soon became a little sweeter, just like drinking mellow coffee.  Eugenie really didn¡¯t exaggerate, the taste is very good.  And besides the taste, the nervousness of worrying about being scolded by her brother gave her even more pleasure in breaking the rules.  Stimulated by the experience she had never had before, her mind was a little confused and she didn't know what she was doing.  The three people nearby were shocked to find that this girl, who had touched wine for the first time, drank the entire glass of wine with ice cubes in one go.  "Fran, you are quite talented at drinking." Mary clicked her tongue, and then took a sip herself to calm down.  "I think it's just a novice who overestimates his abilities. People who are new to drinking don't know how to control it, nor do they know what they can bear." Matilda looked at Eugenie with some sadness, "Eugenie, our joke is a bit too much.  "What's wrong with such a delicious drink?" Eugenie replied with a smile, "Besides, everyone will have such a day, it's a good thing to learn earlier."  Yes the drink is delicious." Before Matilda could say anything else, Fran spoke up, but her voice was really shaking, "Eugenie, give me another drink?" "  At that time, her face was like a ripe apple, extremely red, which added to the allure of youth. Her blue eyes were filled with lake water, and she was astonishingly beautiful.  "You just one drink is enough for you?" Even Miss Tangglars was a little scared now, "Stop drinking." "Am I okay? I'm very fine My whole body is warm." Fu.  Lan shook his head and looked at Miss Tanglar expectantly.  Eugenie had the intention to refuse, but when she was looked at by such a beautiful girl with watery eyes, she could not say no.  "What a little fairy, so charming." She sighed helplessly, "Okay, one last drink, and you have to promise me that you will go to rest after drinking." "Okay! Okay! I promise you!" Fu!  La nodded repeatedly, like a hamster.  Eugenie carefully made another cup of this special drink and handed it to Fran, who drank it all in a few more sips.  Soon, her already red face seemed to be getting hot, and an inexplicable smile appeared on her face. Her steps were already unsteady, swaying slightly in the cool breeze, and she would fall down at any time.  look.  "I'm so drunk." The three people came to the conclusion at the same time.  "II'm not drunk." Fran retorted to them in a daze, "I can have two more drinks, Eugenie, please pour them for me." "Yes, you are not drunk, you just need  Rest." Eugenie supported her, "Okay, miss, today's experience class is over. Go get some sleep. No more drinks." Before Fran could say anything, she called the maid next to her.  He greeted her and asked her to send Fran to a room in the mansion to rest.  Watching Fran being supported and staggering away, the three of them were speechless for a moment.  "This joke is really big" Matilda lamented, "I should have stopped it a long time ago." "What are you doing so solemnly? What's the point of drinking?" Miss Danglars was not panicked at all.  , "Who hasn't drank yet? Her drinking capacity is a bit small, but it will be better after a rest." "But what if her brother is angry? Don't forget he doesn't let children drink."  Mary was still hesitant.  "Come on, there are no children. What's wrong with everyone drinking some wine these days? Everyone can enjoy life. It would be strange if he is even angry about this. What is he going to do? Raise angels?" Eugenie still said  Disapprovingly, "You don't have to worry anyway, even if there is anything I will bear, you guests can just enjoy it! Okay, let's have another drink!" Mary and Matilda looked at each other, and they both felt that Eugenie was right.  , so I am no longer nervous.  ¡°Cheers.¡± ¡­???¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ At this time, Fran could no longer think of her friends. Under the influence of alcohol, her whole body was hot, her mind was dull, and even her memory was blurred.  .  She no longer remembered where she was. She only knew that a maid supported her and took her around the corridors and aisles of the mansion. She was taken to a luxuriously furnished room and then put her on the bed to rest.  .  Before coming here, she passed many people, but they were all chatting happily, no one looked at her, and she could no longer understand the content of their chats, and she only thought they were a group of flies buzzing.  .  Is this the social world?  It doesn¡¯t feel very interesting.  The confused girl thought to herself.  She lay in a daze, feeling that the world was covered with a layer of fog, and she couldn't see anything clearly, not even the passage of time.  Between half asleep and half awake, she tossed and turned, her blurred eyes constantly scanning around the room.  Suddenly, she found a shadow in front of her.  She mobilized her last remaining brain power and eyesight to analyze the shadow in front of her it was a person! ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? There was someone standing in front of her bed!  For a moment, she was almost suffocated. She tried hard to get up, but her body refused to obey her orders.  "Who! Who are you!" She could only use her remaining strength to question.  "Don't worry, beautiful Miss Treville, if I wanted to do you harm, I would have done it long ago." The visitor replied coldly, "By the way, I would like to kindly remind you that you should try not to drink in the future.  It has never been your specialty. " "Oh yes, I will never drink again." Fran suddenly felt relieved when she heard that the other party knew whose child she was. After all, Marshal Treville.  His name is still scary.  More importantly, she recognized that the voice was that of a girl, and although it was deliberately kept very low, she could still hear the childishness in it.  She tried her best to open her eyes wide and looked at the shadow in front of her.  At this time, she finally saw it clearly. Standing in front of the bed was a child wearing a gray skirt. She was short in stature. Her hair was tied back and the color could not be clearly seen. She was wearing a hat on her head.  The veil was hanging down, blocking her face, and it seemed that she was deliberately hiding her identity.  The child, and it was a girl, made Fran¡¯s fear disappear for the most part.  "Youwho are you?" Fran asked again.  Her mind is really slow right now, so she can't think too much at all, so she can only ask this question.  "I am a traveler who has visited this world." The other party gave an answer that made Fran unclear. "Although this journey is not that pleasant, at least it is not a place that makes me feel completely strange.  I would like to thank Almighty God for this. " "So, traveler, you do you know me?" Fran asked again, "Have we seen you?" "Yes, I know you, of course you do.  You won¡¯t know me Everyone has their own world, and it¡¯s a pity that we don¡¯t have many interactions,¡± the other person replied.  Fran has no idea what the other party is talking about. Is she a relative of Baron Tanglar?  She is very sleepy now and wants to get rid of this strange guy who suddenly appeared.  "Then what do you want from me?" she asked in a low voice.  "I have something I want to remind you, or your brother." The other party replied.  "What's wrong with my brother? Did hedid something happen to him?" Fran shuddered, and then her originally fuzzy mind suddenly became a little clearer. She was really too concerned.  "He is doing a stupid thing." The other party replied coldly, seeming to be a little disdainful of Charles, "I heard that he has been deliberately approaching the Count of Monte Cristo recently, but according to the information I got from my father, this man is a  He is a daring gangster who commits all kinds of crimes and has countless murders in his hands. More importantly, he and my father are collaborating recently. My father may tolerate him to do some terrible things so only fools will get involved with him.  "My God! Oh my God! He has been interacting with someone with this name recently!" Upon hearing what the other party said, Fran exclaimed, "Is that person really an evil gangster?"  What should I do, sir?" She struggled fiercely on the bed, trying to sit up and then rush out of the bed, but her body refused to obey her orders and stayed limp on the bed, which made her eyes almost burst into tears.  "Don't worry, it's still early, you have time to have a good rest now,poor child.  "The other party stretched out his hand and put it on Fran's shoulder, helping her calm down, "This is France after all, and even gangsters will not show their fangs easily.  " Although she was still young, she comforted Fran in such an old-fashioned way. It was only because drinking had eroded her judgment that Fran didn't feel anything unusual. "Yes, it's still early" Fran slowly calmed down.  Then he looked at the other party gratefully and said, "Thank you for reminding me, miss. Although I don't know who you are, but if you can kindly remind us, you must be one of my brother's friends. I will tell you and  Remind him.  "    "friend?  If you think so, you are wrong.  The face behind the veil seemed to be sneering, "If I said that I wanted to cut him into pieces, chop him into pieces and feed them to the dogs, but I just didn't want others to do it for me, would you still be grateful to me?"  " Fran was stunned. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the other party in shock, "Are you kidding!  " "It's a pity that I'm not.  "The other party replied with a sneer. "I am serious, and I promise you, I will definitely have this opportunity, although it may not be now.  "Although the other party was not tall, Fran still felt an icy chill. It was indeed terrifying hatred. How could my brother offend such a young child? Fran couldn't figure it out, but she didn't have time now.  Let¡¯s have some space to reminisce. ¡°You, don¡¯t even think about it!  She blurted out, "No matter where you are as a monster, II will never let you succeed!"  " "I think you will definitely reply to me like this, but even if you want to stop me, what can you do?  The other party seemed to be deliberately mocking Fran, "You are just a cute child with outstanding talents and a lovable personality, but that's all - you are powerless."  " "No, I'm not" Fran's breathing quickened. "You are.  "The other party interrupted Fran, "You are weak, you are compassionate, you are afraid of blood, you are a fragile vase, you can only be cared for, but you have no other use except to be displayed, your brother raised you to become an angel,  But this is the human world, I'm sorry you are just weak.  " "I'm notI'm nothell, shut up, I'm not!  Fran opened her eyes angrily, then stood up suddenly and tried to grab the other person's hand, "I don't want to offend anyone, but I will not tolerate you hurting him. If you dare to do this, I will cut you into pieces."  Cut it off until you see only half of yourself alive!  F!  " In an instant, the artist's gentleness disappeared, and her face was ferocious and terrifying, like an evil ghost. The other person did not make any response, just looked at Fran coldly, without fear or anger. Fran glared  The other party didn't flinch. "Pfft, hahahaha" Suddenly, the other party laughed softly. This laughter made the room that was almost frozen regain its warmth. "No matter where you are, you are you."  " The other party let out a long sigh, "Yes, this is the real you, and it makes me miss you a little Take a good look in the mirror and recall what you used to look like.  " With these inexplicable words, the other party suddenly disappeared from Fran's blurred vision. "What am I doing? Fran's mind suddenly felt blank. Drowsiness enveloped her mind again, and she closed it again.  When she opened her eyes again, Fran found that her brother was sitting by the bed, looking at her helplessly and reproachfully, having fully regained control of her body.  She reached out and took her brother's hand. "Mr.  " "You sweat enough to take a shower.  Charles frowned slightly and implicitly criticized his sister, "For a child who is drinking for the first time, two large glasses are too much."  " "I'm sorry" Fran smiled slightly. "I won't do it again.  " This slightly miserable smile made Charles unable to say the prepared reprimand. "Hey, it's not a big mistake anyway, forget it. " "Don't just talk, remember,  You are not allowed to drink alcohol until you are of age.  "He tried to keep a straight face to scare his sister. "I will remember it.  Fran nodded slightly, "II had a dream just now."  " "It seems like a nightmare, right?"  "Ciel sighed, "Otherwise I wouldn't be sweating so much.  " "Yes, it is indeed a nightmare.  "Fran"?He nodded lightly, "II dreamed that you were in danger, and then begged me to save you. Then I promise you, II will do my best to save you, even if the whole world is harmed.  Fire." Ciel was confused by these words, and then couldn't help laughing.  "What a silly boy, what kind of silly dream did you have!"
