Roses for Rosalind

At the end of the song, Rosie bowed slightly to Alco, turned around and was about to leave, but he grabbed her wrist: "Where are you going in a hurry?" He said to Rosie: "No more Do you want to dance with me? Please don't let down the good time tonight."

"...Huh?" Rosie was stunned for a moment, "I thought..." She thought everyone could break up after talking?

"You just rejected me tonight." Alcor pulled her to stand up again with an irresistible attitude: "Shouldn't a frustrated person get a little bit of reasonable compensation?"

"...I'm sorry." Rosie turned her head and glanced in Romeo's direction: "But I'm afraid I have to refuse your request, please forgive me."

As she spoke, she took a step towards Romeo.Not knowing what to think of, her eyes suddenly softened: "Because I have already promised my knight."

"Well," Alcor interrupted her.He effortlessly dragged Rosie to the busiest center of the dance floor: "But I insist"

"..."

Rosie tried to struggle, but by then they were in the middle of the dance floor.If you insist on refusing, not only is it impolite, but it will also be very eye-catching.

Furthermore, this matter itself is her wrongdoing.

Rosie was dragged by Arco to dance a few more tunes.In addition to the three dances with Romeo before, Rosie's feet began to hurt faintly. If she didn't stop to rest for a while, she might not be able to walk tomorrow. Rosie had to explain the situation to Alco . "If possible, I want to take a rest over there." Rosie pointed to the empty chair beside her: "Please leave me alone, just find a dance partner you like."

"Ah, sorry," Alcor said with a look of sudden realization. "I didn't think carefully. Yes, you really should take a good rest." He grabbed Rosie's hand again, and naturally led her to a certain direction at the edge of the ballroom: "Come, please come with me .”

"........."

Arco pulled her towards the direction where the De Niro family gathered. Along the way, many people who knew Alcor's identity looked at them with ambiguous eyes.But since they didn't speak, Rosie couldn't explain, she could only vomit blood depressedly in her heart.

"Oh! Alcor! Good evening!" A muscular middle-aged man greeted him warmly.He has a big beer belly and a rosacea: "You look really good! Great boy! Your father and mother must be very proud of you!"

"Good evening, I'm glad to see you here, Viscount Esair." Alcor stopped and smiled and replied, "Thank you for your compliment."

"Oh! Who is this beautiful lady?" Noticing Rosie who was holding his hand behind Alco, Esair's eyes suddenly lit up: "You are so lucky! The most beautiful girl in the field is dancing with you!"

...Although I am happy to hear you say that, I still wear a mask on my face.Rosie complained silently in her heart. "Thank you for your appreciation." It would be inappropriate to keep silent at this time.Rosie bowed to the other party: "However, there are many really beautiful and lovely girls at the ball tonight, and I dare not compare them with them."

"No," Alcor said suddenly.His voice was not loud, but Rosie assured that Romeo, who had been following them not far or near, would be able to hear clearly: "You are the most beautiful rose at this ball, and no one can compare to you." He said. Looking at Rosie affectionately, "My heart can't help but fall deeply for you."

"..." This kid definitely did it on purpose.

"Oh!" The middle-aged man whistled ambiguously, stretched out his hand and patted Arco's shoulder vigorously a few times: "The boy said well!" He thought he was kindly winking at Rosie: " He's a really nice lad, don't you think?"

"..." No, I really don't feel that at all, at all, at all.

Alcor suddenly squeezed Rosie's palm quietly.

Rosie could only laugh awkwardly.

"It's a pity that you failed to win the competition." Viscount Esair sighed regretfully: "Otherwise, you would be able to present the highest honor to this lady."

"It's okay," Alcor raised his arm suddenly, so as to reveal the ribbon tied around his wrist that he had been hiding under his sleeve before.In front of everyone, he gently kissed the familiar ribbon: "I believe that as kind as she is, she won't mind such a small matter."

……combo three.

Rosie couldn't imagine Romeo's expression at all.

Alcor took Rosie to an empty chair and sat down: "Would you like something to drink?" But before Rosie could answer, he went straight to offer her a drink: "I thought maybe wine would be a Good choice?"

"Well," Rosie replied dryly, "thank you."

She took the glass of wine from Alcor, and found that he was still standing in front of her, not intending to leave at all: "Uh... Actually, you don't need to stay with me all the time." Hurry up and find a dance partner, Please _(:3)/)_

"It doesn't matter," Alcor shook his head, "I'm very happy."

"..."

"...But you make me very uncomfortable." Rosie couldn't help but said to Alcor distressedly.

"Huh?" Alcor raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

"..." I was embarrassed because I acted so ambiguously!But there are a lot of people in the De Niro family here, and they are all paying attention to them as if nothing. Rosie can't say it clearly, and Romeo can't rush up to Alcor to rob people blatantly.So she had to bite the bullet and find an excuse: "You see, I am sitting, but you have been standing in front of me, but my feet don't allow me to stand up again - this makes me feel very Disrespectful and uncomfortable."

"Ah, so it is."

"Yeah." So you go go go go go find a dance partner!When you leave, I can sit somewhere else and talk to Romeo——Rosie looked at Alcor anxiously.

"This problem is actually very easy to solve." Alcor looked around, dragged an empty chair not far away, and sat down: "Look," he said to Rosie, "isn't this solved?" ?”

“………………”嘤qaq

With things like this, there is nothing Rosie doesn't understand.In order to express his dissatisfaction with Romeo and what he had done before, as a small revenge, he intentionally occupied her tonight, and even made some ambiguous behaviors in public—and since Romeo was as black as a pot Judging by the look on his face, Alcor undoubtedly succeeded.

Rosie couldn't help but sighed: "I apologize again for what I have done before. If there is anything I can help in the future, please don't be mean, just ask." She said to Alcor: "So your, uh, little jokes, can you stop here?"

"How do you know I'm joking?" Alcor said half-jokingly and half-seriously.He suddenly leaned closer to Rosie, passed an arm through her back, and supported it on the back of the sturdy chair: "Maybe, I'm actually serious?"

"What I said before is true." His brown eyes looked straight at Rosie's: "I do have a great crush on you, do you really stop thinking about me—I I think that I would be more suitable for you than that one."

"I'm sorry." Rosie shook her head without hesitation: "From the bottom of my heart, you are really nice. If I met you first, I might really choose you... It's a pity that in this world No if."

"You deserve better." Rosie looked into Alcor's eyes sincerely and said, "A knight like you deserves a good girl who only has you wholeheartedly. If I promise you, it will be disrespectful to you." fair."

"..." Alcor narrowed his eyes and looked at Rosie for a while, then smiled: "You're right."

It's just that he will never meet such a silly girl again.

As soon as Alcor walked away, Romeo couldn't wait to get up on his back: "What did he just say to you?" He asked Rosie nervously: "Do you need me to come forward to solve it?"

"No need." Rosie shook her head at him, "I'm very capable," she said with a smile, "I've already solved everything—well, actually, I still feel very sorry for him."

"What are you sorry for him?" Romeo sneered at this: "You didn't agree to his marriage proposal. If you don't succeed in the end, you are sorry, Benvolio doesn't know how many girls you have to be responsible for—wait !" He shivered suddenly, and grabbed Rosie's arm nervously: "You didn't promise him, did you?"

"...what do you say?"

"I guess not, but what if?" Romeo still refused to relax: "Your character is the softest and you don't know how to reject others. What if you are really coaxed into agreeing?"

"...don't make trouble."

"I'm serious!" Romeo said that he was very dissatisfied now: "I really can't understand this, because that's how I lured you here-no! You have to promise me!"

"...If you make trouble again, I will beat you!" Rosie almost wanted to take off her shoes and beat him up.

"I'm not making trouble!" Romeo raised his voice unconsciously.

"Okay, okay, please keep your voice down!" Seeing that someone was already looking around, Rosie hurriedly motioned him to lower her volume: "Then what do you want?"

"Prove it to me." I don't know if it was because of the stimulation, but Romeo's character became indomitable tonight.

Rosie couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "...how to prove it?"

"Well," Romeo rolled his eyes and answered slowly, "...kiss me."
