"Ah...... Lights?! ”
Suddenly, someone screamed happily. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Great, it's finally time to get to the castle!"
"Hurry up...... Before the demon comes, let's hurry inside! ”
"Hurry up!"
……
Ji Meng was dragged by a woman in a yellow dress to run to a place of light. At this time, it was already completely dark, and she couldn't see the road clearly, nor could she see where the lights were in the distance, but she felt that in the darkness, there were two lights with yellow light.
As soon as you enter the castle, the gate behind you slams shut. The hall of the castle is extremely high, and the center of the flower-shaped hanging is hanging for a day, and the angels are stepping on the lanterns, and a golden chandelier hangs from the lanterns. In the faint yellow light, in the two layers of arches, one large and one small, is a one-meter-high colorful mural, which is full of virgins and angels in different postures.
The small arch is hollow, and in the middle there is a pillar carved with a flying cherub; There are no pillars in the middle of the arches, some have doors, some have no doors, and if there are doors, there is an archangel carved on the top semicircle of the door, but they are in different postures, some are holding books, some are holding swords, and some are sleeping.
Magnificent, tall, imposing, gorgeous.
Ji Meng noticed that under all the large arches, there stood a pair of knights in armor, their hands on the sabers at their waists, and they looked vigilant about to draw their swords at any time.
"The Duke is here!" She still wanted to see clearly, so the woman in the yellow dress pulled her and told her to leave quickly.
A group of men who walked out of an archway, dressed in black gowns trimmed with gold trim, wore ornaments on their chests, swords around their waists, and high boots on their feet. He had silver hair, which was smooth on his scalp, slightly curled up at the ear, and the rest of his hair was tied into a low ponytail and placed on his left shoulder. With blue eyes and a high nose and thin lips, the posture of walking over is both imposing and elegant, as if he is attending a palace party.
"Coming back? I came back a little late today~" Obviously, he is very familiar with the group of girls who pick flowers, and the tone of his voice has a bit of a lover's flavor.
"Lord Duke, this time you have to punish the dream, if she hadn't run away without a figure, we would have been looking for a long time, and we would have come back a long time ago......" As soon as Ellie saw her, she eagerly made a small report, and did not forget to send her own roses, "You see, this is a rose I carefully selected, and I will give it to Lord Duke, I wish Lord Duke a beautiful appearance, heroic and martial, and the more you fight, the more extraordinary you ......"
"My little cutie, your mouth is so sweet!" The Duke picked Ellie's chin, took a small peck, handed the flower basket to the entourage behind him, and then smiled, "Stay and find Aunt Mary, I'll wait for you tonight." ”
Ellie was originally unhappy that the Duke refused to deal with the dream, but when she heard the Duke say this, she immediately jumped up excitedly: "Really?!" I'm going to find Aunt Mary right now......"
Then, without waiting for the Duke to speak, he saluted him and ran away in a hurry, "Aunt Mary, Aunt Mary...... Oh! Oh my God, where are you? ”
The other girls were envious and jealous, but they were not Ellie, and they didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the duke, so they obediently lined up one by one to walk towards the duke and hand in the red roses they had picked today.
"What a cute girl, the flowers you picked are very beautiful!"
"Flowers, just as beautiful as you!"
"Your eyes are soft, my heart is soft!"
……
Every woman who handed in the red roses was able to get the praise of the duke, until Ji Meng walked up to him with a basket of flowers.
"Lovely girl, let me see how beautiful the roses you picked today are, I've been waiting for a long time......" As soon as he saw the flower basket in Ji Meng's hand, his eyes lit up, and he praised with joy, "Meng, you are really my sweetheart, I know that only you can pick the most beautiful roses......"
As she spoke, she lowered her head to sniff the flowers in her hands, and her satisfied demeanor was like a goblin absorbing the essence of human beings, and she was satisfied, and she was too beautiful to be.
Ji Meng's heart was furious.
Then, he took her hand and knelt down on one leg in front of her as if proposing: "Dream, you are simply my angel, I can't live without you......"
Ji Meng: "......" His hands were so cold that she couldn't help but shiver as if she had just taken them out of the refrigerator.
And he, as if he hadn't seen it, continued to recite long sighs, and spoke lover-like words, that is, she did not know how beautiful she was, that he could not live without her, and asked her to believe that every word he said was sincere.
Especially the blue eyes that looked at her, gentle and affectionate, which can make people drunk to death inside.
The middle-aged woman, called "Aunt Mary", seemed to have a lot of power, not only to decide which woman could go to the Duke's bed at night, but also to decide what to do with any disobedient woman in the castle. Ji Meng was probably the one who was disobedient before, and was assigned to the lower class room by Aunt Mary. It was a room with no light, just a plank and a quilt, and it was sleeping alone.
Ji Meng was a little speechless, such a "lattice room" that even locks the doors and windows is not the treatment of prisoners? Later, Ji Meng learned that the prisoner was really not treated like this, and the prisoner was either killed directly, or was beaten half to death and tied to a stake in the backyard.
Dinner, a piece of black bread, was hard to swallow. She always felt that her life was not supposed to be like this. However, if this is not the case, what should it look like?
For breakfast, another piece of brown bread.
Ji Meng was a little desperate. Although the other women, one by one, felt that they did not have to work as coolies or anything, nor did they have to serve people, as long as they went to pick flowers every day and brought them back, they would have the opportunity to sleep with the Duke, which did not feel too good; But Ji Meng felt that no, her life should not be like this.
If not, what should it look like?
She didn't know.
It was another day of picking roses, and finally picking a basket, Ji Meng raised his head and suddenly found that he didn't know when, it was already dark. No way?! It doesn't take long to spend on the road to come and go, and it takes a day to pick a basket of roses?
This question once again surfaced in my mind. Only this time, the print is extraordinarily deep. Not only that, but she also found that the sisters who picked roses with her before were all gone?!
God, it unexpectedly darkened very quickly. Lifting the basket and turning around, the sky that was still slightly dark was so dark that it was so dark that the five fingers disappeared in an instant, only the roses in the basket still had some faint outlines.
The wind, blowing from nowhere, carries some unknown faint floral fragrance.
"Huhu...... Whew......huhu"
She also heard the flapping of huge wings. How big does this guy have to be with this big voice?! Unfortunately, it was too dark for her to see. The fear of the unknown came to her heart, and her first reaction was to leave.
However, after only a few steps, she was knocked down by the rose bushes.
"Ouch......"
In the darkness, her skin was punctured by rose thorns, and blood flowed out. The roses next to it were like cats that smelled fish, and one of them moved quickly and swallowed the blood in one gulp. The other one that didn't grab it, I was a little angry, and bit it directly on Ji Meng's finger......
