Chapter 159: A Grand Show (4)
Fitney has read books about love like this - a couple of lovers who meet in an unpredictable place at first and have an irresistible connection - the background is familiar, the content is never seen, and the ending is the exact opposite of reality. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The Count in this play is as in love with the maiden, but whether this love is born out of a feeling of reciprocation, or whether it is purely attracted by her soul, it is something that is incomprehensible to those outside of this love - and is rightly questioned by the nobles.
The upright and hot-blooded Earl and the Country Maiden did not let any doubts stop their decision, and the Count finally brought the Country Maiden home - with happy smiles on the faces of the two actors.
Different people have different opinions about all this. In Fitney's view, such a subject has always had mixed reputations and is difficult to evaluate.
Then the Count argues with a strong will with the ill-intentioned nobles, a controversy that has been prepared on both sides for a long time - most people are attracted to such images, especially women - and Jerbot succeeds in shaping the Count's firmness.
"Oh my God......" But neither the plot nor the reality were smooth sailing - just as the Count was leaving the banquet hall, he was confronted by a disgruntled person, or rather an assassination of someone who had already been arranged, and the people watched the scene nervously, and some could not help but exclaim.
At the same time, the second lady, the fiancée of the Earl, who had been chosen by the Count for political marriage, appeared before the country maiden and told the "heartbreaking truth" that the Count had abandoned her.
"Oh, she's lying!" the audience was completely hooked on the plot.
Surprisingly, Follett was like those audience, watching the performance on the dance floor without blinking, when the count argued in front of the nobles, there was a trace of doubt on his face, and when the count was assassinated and the second female appeared in front of the heroine, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
"Interesting plot, isn't it?" said Sharon beside him.
Follett didn't speak.
Then Sharon said something next to him - but he probably hadn't heard it.
"I've heard that you admire Adez a lot, so do you know about him and Shirley?" At this time, Fitney watched the performance below in silence, and Ed spoke again.
Adez is a magician scholar that Fitney has been paying attention to, and this scholar has a similar love past.
"It turns out that the play was inspired by that story? It is indeed possible, because that thing is well known among the nobles. Fitney's tone was casual, "As a nobleman of the Duchy of Ansendil, you know very well about the scandal of the nobility of the Kingdom of Luther. ”
"Not exactly, after all, in the story of Adez and Shirley, Shirley, as a noble woman, is not as determined and brave as the earl. ”
"Let me guess, then, that a firm and brave earl has been ruined by the nobles in such a simple and despicable way that he has chosen happiness - this person must be Viscount Avril. ”
Ed turned his head to see Fitney—her white-blond hair had regained its original length, and some of her face was scattered in small bits to the side, obscuring her overly ordinary eyes—and Ed knew that they were actually a unique pair of eyes, not only for their original appearance, but also because of the lake-like eyes, which sometimes shimmered with unexpected brilliance.
That's what it was now—the camouflage in front of Fitney's eyes seemed to be no longer able to hide that brilliance.
"It was said that Follett was an illegitimate child, and indeed he was the child of a country woman, but—as no one knows, he was the son of Viscount Avril. Ed knew she had guessed something when he saw the look in his eyes—but he wasn't going to hide it, "but the story wasn't that rosy." ”
"The country woman was the mistress of Viscount Avril, and the nobles always had one or two mistresses, but Viscount Avril seemed to have a very special affection for that mistress - love makes people forget who they are, and ignore the terrible consequences, and Viscount Avril is the kind of person. ”
"Looks like the Wizdem family knows a lot about this?"
"Like the story of Adez and Shirley, it was a common metaphor used by my etiquette teacher – but I heard it a little more. Fitney's gaze shifted to Follett.
In this story, the Count is assassinated, lying in bed, unable to tell his lover what he is doing, and the country girl returns to her home in agony—the closest part to reality is here.
"What do you think would have happened if this story had played out in reality?" Ed asked.
"The Count will no longer love his lover, for she is absent when he needs care most, which will make him resentful and discouraged. And the country girl was the same—she would find how much it coincided with what she had heard, how treacherous and ungrateful the nobles were. "If they are unfortunate enough to have a child, then in the future, that woman will use this child to compensate herself in a difficult time in life." ”
"What is it that makes you distrust everything and think of everything so utilitarianly. Ed seemed surprised by Fitney's answer.
"So, what is it that makes you so misanthropic, moody, and fond of fooling other people?" Fitney asked rhetorically.
"So that's the question you've been asking me, so I'll tell you. "I am also the child of a mistress, and my father dislikes me very much, because his mistress is so clever that I have lived my childhood in peace, and after that, my brother has always wondered how he could kill me, all with my father's acquiescence." ”
A pathetic family, full of despair and struggle - is that where it all comes from?
Fitney seemed to agree and turned his head.
"Now, Lonnay, I can't go back now, my father acquiesced in my brother's harm to me, but he wouldn't forgive me for killing his eldest son—now I have only you to rely on. Ed's voice was smiling.
"You can find Rosa Nishizawa. ”
"Are you jealous?" Ed smiled.
"What are you trying to hide? is it to disturb me from thinking about Sharon's purpose, or is it to make me forget to consider Adez's influence on this matter?" Fitnair looked at him, his eyes calm, and he didn't think anything else.
However, there really shouldn't be any other thoughts.
Bang!
Just then, there was a commotion on the dance floor below, and Fitney glanced at Ed, his eyes like knives - but Ed still had the same smiling expression.
"Stop!Follett!what are you going to do?!" Fitney had not yet found the source of the commotion, but heard a scream from Sharon.
