maximum decency
"It's not bad to sacrifice."
Proulx drank the coffee in his hand indifferently, but with an elegant demeanor, what he said was the most cruel words.
"In this way, the Campbell family will have one less heir, and at the same time, one less competition."
Rochester's fist was hidden under the tablecloth, and it was already clenched tightly at this time, but the words he said were still without any emotion, and his tone was very slow, without any waves. The hidden things were anger, sadness, Wait for a lot of negative emotions.
"Heh... Actually, I'm not happy about it, but I'm really happy for him."
"At least, he is relieved..."
Slowly bringing the coffee to his mouth, Rochester sighed softly, shook his head, and silently put down the quilt in his hand.The words spoken by the mouth are a heavy truth.
"I'm coming too."
Rochester didn't give too much explanation, so he got up and left the table. Violet silently ate the butter cookie in her hand. This kind of cookie was tasteless, but I don't know if it was done on purpose here, it was so sweet Greasy, with bitter coffee, it neutralizes the taste that is difficult to swallow.
Violet knew her position, she was just a bystander, she would not interfere with the client's family affairs, and she could only watch quietly what happened.
Keeping silent is sometimes the most decent thing to do.
"I've eaten too."
When Yesenia saw Rochester leave the table, she also ran out immediately. She didn't like her second brother Proulx, and when she saw him leave the table, she immediately followed him.
"Others are gone, why don't you go?"
Proulx looked at Violet who was still eating quietly, with a hint of displeasure in his tone, he didn't like Violet's attitude, at least as an ordinary doll, why faced him, but still Maintain that calm and calm appearance.At the very least, you should respect yourself.
"Because I haven't finished eating yet."
Violet has a bad impression of Proulx in her heart, and she doesn't have the same attitude towards everyone, at least when she has feelings, Violet has also learned to treat them differently, which makes her hate Violet would not have any respect for him.
"People in the Campbell family have strict rules about meal times."
"I'm not part of your Campbell family."
Proulx's brows gradually frowned, he seemed to dislike Violet's attitude, that kind of calm attitude, it seemed that not being afraid of him was like not taking him seriously.
"Is this how you treat your clients?"
"With all due respect, my client this time is Princess Aurora, and you are not my client, not even the Campbell family."
"Then I will entrust you now."
"On the way to the mission, no other commissions will be accepted."
Violet's eloquent teeth directly made Proulx completely unable to refute. After all, it was an automatic memoization doll. Apart from writing letters, it was also top-notch in speaking skills.
"Humph."
"You're different from all the dolls I've seen."
Proulx said to Violet.
"I'm starting to like you a little bit. After this ghostwriting, it's better to stay in the Campbell family. I can give you the best life and the most decent status."
"It's better to marry here."
Proulx said arrogantly.
"You auto-memory dolls, dressed in fancy clothes, and walking around the world, don't you all have the same purpose. You want to find a good home. Either a famous family, or a successful businessman and rich man. The Campbell family will not treat you badly. "
In fact, when Violet first came here, Proulx felt that this woman was different from all the puppets he had ever seen. Most of them turned into responders when they saw her. .But Violet is different, there is no so-called hypocrisy in her body.
Even though he is under endless hypocrisy and masks every day, what Proulx likes is the kind of sincere and clean people.Perhaps it was also because of the disgust he had been in such an environment, so the moment he saw Violet, he felt a throbbing in his heart.
She is so beautiful, even more beautiful than the snow scene in the Northland. The word "perfect" seems to be her interpretation, and the blue eyes seem to reflect the stars and the sea.Although Proulx stated bluntly that this doll was different from the one he found, his heart was already shattered by frustration.
This sense of shock also gave him the idea that no matter what method he uses, he must get this doll.
"I'm done eating, excuse me."
Just when Violet got up, Proulx noticed her left hand, the ring on the ring finger was so conspicuous, the white flowers were still in full bloom in this snowy winter... .
When Violet's back gradually moved away, Proulx finally punched the table in front of him.
"Are you even married? The ring is still on your ring finger."
"But so what, is there anything in this world that the Campbell family can't give you?"
"What I want, I must get!"
When Violet returned to her room, she noticed the aura of other people in the room. When she regained consciousness, Rochester had already sat on the chair in front of the French window.
"Aren't you curious about what I said at the dinner table today?"
Violet didn't speak, but just looked at Rochester quietly. The man felt a little embarrassed to receive such a ruthless reply, so he had to cough a few times in embarrassment.
"That's right, you are just a puppet from a distant country."
After hearing this, Violet finally opened her mouth slightly, and said to Rochester.
"I used to care too. I cared about everything around me, and I hope that everything can get what I want and become the most perfect appearance."
"When I meet sickness, I hope to be cured. When I meet parting, I hope to be reunited. When I meet sadness, I hope they can find joy."
"But those fall into the category of miracles."
Violet's eyes were slightly red, she gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, as if recalling some painful memory.
"but......"
"Miracle doesn't come for free, never has been."
Violet's words made Rochester a little at a loss, he didn't know what this puppet had experienced.
"So now you just look at everything around you quietly, right?"
Violet stared at the man in front of her, with slight concern in her eyes, but more, there was a long silence.
"Knowing that you are not capable of giving miracles to others."
"Watching quietly, not interfering, not discussing, is already the most decent thing I can do."
Shelter
Illness is something that everyone will face more or less in their life.It's somewhat hateful, sad, and hopeless.
And cure them, whether it is a cold that is so small that it is not cared about at all, or a disease that is so big that it can threaten life.They all belong to the category of miracles.
"In fact, I only have less than two years to live. My doctor told me that there is currently no cure for my disease."
"In my whole life, I have never cared about this world, but the only thing I worry about is my sister."
"I'm afraid that if I die, her fate will be... swallowed by this cruel world."
These are the last words Rochester said to Violet.
"I'm so sorry to ask you to listen to this kind of thing. I didn't mean to pour out negative emotions to you. I just... haven't had a real conversation with someone in too long."
After Rochester left, Violet finally lay on her own bed. She slept on a chair all night yesterday, which made her waist unable to straighten up, and she felt a little sore.It was so cold outside, Violet didn't want to go out, she wanted to use the daytime today to sleep well.
Even though I went by myself, even if I only slept for four hours in five days, I didn't feel tired at all, like a machine.But because of the habit of going to bed early that she developed at the post office, Violet couldn't go back to the old days.
At this moment, the door was quietly pushed open again. Violet had already put her hand on the pistol at her waist, but she didn't feel any danger or premonition, so Violet also put down her guard for the time being. .
"Automatic memory doll..."
"Violet....Sister..."
Childish voice, this time Yesenia did not wear those mature evening dresses, but changed into her own cartoon pajamas, which were printed with images of cats and dogs, which made her look like a teenager The appearance of a girl.
"Can I stay with you for a while?"
Violet didn't want to continue sleeping on the chair, but she still sat up and nodded to Yesenia.She is not someone Violet doesn't like, on the contrary, Violet has some empathy with Yesenia, because they have similar experiences.
"Yes, Miss Yesenia."
In winter in the northern country, the sky seems to be foggy all the time. In the dark sky, heavy snow falls non-stop.Violet is an automatic memory doll from the south. She was shocked by such a spectacular snowfall in the north, but also full of discomfort.
The manor is quiet, but you can see the lights of thousands of houses in the distant towns. Because of the weather, even in the daytime, shops and people will light oil lamps and light fireplaces.This quiet manor and the bustling street outside seem to be two worlds.
Yesenia seemed to have not had a good conversation with anyone for a long time. She told Violet about the new things that happened in their country in winter, and Violet learned a lot about it.
People began to clear the snow from their houses. This kind of snow was enough to spread to the knees, and no means of transportation were allowed to travel. The families helped each other and spent most of the day cleaning the snow. But fortunately, the government stipulates that people can take paid vacations in winter due to natural weather. Presumably this is the reason why people in the northern country do not have to work in winter.
"Violet, does your hometown have such deep snow?"
"No, Miss Yesenia. Leiden is a city that leans towards the south. Although there will be snow, it will definitely not be as grand as it is here."
People’s winter here is the winter accompanied by white snow and mulled wine. After clearing the heavy snow, people will gather together to laugh and celebrate the fruits of the day’s labor. Although the snow will pile up again the next day, people still enjoy it. .And the hot red wine and the sizzling barbecue are the biggest rewards of this severe cold day.
"Oh I see."
Violet sat up, Yesenia kept her eyes on Violet, as if she couldn't move her eyes away.Violet was wearing a nightgown, her long blond hair was hanging down her side, the dull gray sky did not affect her beauty at all, those blue eyes, staring at her, seemed to be sucked in, sinking into it .It can be said that Violet is at the best and most beautiful age of youth. Her appearance is as outstanding and outstanding as herself.Yesenia also noticed the ring finger on the doll's left hand. She was curious about what kind of person could make such a beautiful doll fall in love...
"Thank you for letting me stay here."
It would be impolite to keep watching. Yesenia looked away in time and climbed onto the bed. After taking a deep breath, she lay down on the bed very relaxed. This big bed is big enough for two people to lie on. She was on the bed, but Violet still wanted to stand up immediately out of politeness.
"Sister, please don't go."
Yesenia raised her hand and grabbed Violet's clothes to prevent her from getting up. Violet was very curious, so she turned her head and asked Yesenia.
"Why do you want to come here to stay with me specially, miss?"
"because......"
The girl thought for a while and replied.
"Because the Campbell family will not interfere with the lives of guests. So only here, can I temporarily avoid the maid and my brother's surveillance. I can also relax rarely."
"When I'm in my room, there are three maids who watch me closely and do everything with the utmost grace and grace. I don't have time to play any games, read any books I want, I have to read Those particular dull classics, playing the piano that no one would ever listen to."
"Also, no matter how hard I try to get things done, my brothers don't care, because in their eyes, no matter what they do, it's never enough."
"Please let me hide here temporarily and enjoy a moment of freedom, okay?"
Yesenia narrowed her eyes slightly when she said this, and in just one minute, she actually let out a slight snoring sound. Perhaps it was because she was exhausted physically and mentally because of the constant tension, and she entered the room just after lying down. Dreamland.Seeing the young girl who was sleeping so soundly, Violet's eyes became slightly heavy, sleepiness welled up, and the scene in front of her eyes became blurred.
"It's like a shelter..."
"It's embarrassing..."
Violet slowly lay beside Yesenia, and slowly fell asleep in the company of the heavy snow outside the window.
Short-lived happiness
Even Violet couldn't remember exactly how long she slept this time. They ignored lunch and dinner. This kind of hypocritical banquet really makes people not want to stay for a minute, even if it is served. It is a delicious delicacy cooked with care.
When Violet opened her eyes again, the surroundings had already fallen into silence. The night had fallen, and only under the dim light could one see the reflection of flying snow.As Yesenia said, such snow can pile up again in just one night.
Sure enough, the Campbell family did not enter Violet's room, even though they knew that the eldest lady was here.Violet was very vigilant. She put a leaf in the crack of the door before going to bed. It was brought from Leiden in the south, and it was impossible to have it here.At this time, the leaf was still firmly clamped on the crack of the door, which proved that no one had come in while they were sleeping.
"Well......"
There was a humming sound coming from her side, Yesenia was already lying on Violet's shoulders at this time, the silver thread from the corner of her mouth was also dripping on her pajamas, she was sleeping very soundly.Violet looked at the ceiling, the whole day's sleep made her more energetic than ever, and after waking up, the hunger also hit her.But in order not to disturb Yesenia's dream, Violet didn't make any big moves.
I don't know how long it took before Yesenia slowly returned to reality from the dream. She stretched comfortably after waking up from the dream. This long-lost feeling is really wonderful. She has already forgotten the last time she fell asleep. When did you get so comfortable.
Sleep without all burdens is the most wonderful existence.
"You are awake, Miss Yesenia."
Violet cast a concerned look, but at this moment, as if it was agreed in advance, their stomachs gurgled at the same time, Yesenia stroked her stomach and smiled awkwardly, and Val A smile gradually appeared on Lite's calm expression.
"Eh? So you know how to laugh."
Although it wasn't the first time she heard someone say that about herself, every time she heard such words, Violet would feel somewhat disappointed, but there was no way she could do it, she was born with the expressionless type.
"Aren't you afraid that your brothers will worry?"
"Don't be afraid, after all, they only care about the family's wealth, and who really cares about me."
Hearing this, Violet sighed inwardly. After all, Rochester had just told her before that Yesenia was his concern. Presumably, Rochester must have concealed his illness from his sister. The girl in front of him was not Knowing that the person who cares about her the most is by her side, and the other party's time is not much.
This is really similar to myself.
"Violet, can you tell me a story?"
