Chapter 42: The End of the World
A large stage, with a few seats placed at random below, it is not an honor for everyone to accompany the Duke of Windsor to listen to an opera, several elders of Igub are full of red light, they sit with the Duke of Windsor as the center, Igub is right in front of the back of Windsor's head, and I can't help but sigh that this man is so handsome even in the back of his head.
I heard that Charlotte and the Duke of Windsor had a relationship, I don't know if it's true or not, Igubu thought of Charlotte's beautiful face, and couldn't help but put Charlotte and the Duke of Windsor together, sure enough, the cold and domineering man and the woman are a perfect match.
They raised the golden cup to drink, the Duke of Windsor talked about the happy place and would get up and hug people, it seemed that they were all happy, Igub was moved by the Duke of Windsor's kind demeanor, every time he raised a glass and drank it up, after a while Igub was dizzy, there are so many elders here and the noble Duke of Windsor, Igub didn't dare to go first, so he had to stand up, Windsor had long noticed him, he was not very old but he was able to meet important people with the elders of the family, it seems that his status should not be underestimated, but I didn't expect the amount of alcohol to be so poor, Windsor was secretly amused.
The audience was lively for a while, the opera performers were ready, the curtain was slowly opened, the overture was smooth and gorgeous, like a spring slowly gushing out, and Windsor enjoyed a quiet and soft atmosphere.
The actor who played the prince on the stage appeared on the stage wearing exaggerated heavy makeup, and the saber Windsor tied around his waist looked at it carefully, and the golden sword body scabbard was inlaid with dazzling gems. One? Root? Read? The color of the xstxt gem in the novel seems to be not a fake prop, on the other hand, the clothes of several people present are simple and low-key, if they do not appear on this occasion, they are likely to be recognized as commoners, as aristocrats, they have to disguise themselves as commoners, Windsor silently observed the expressions of several people, and found that their eyes were focused on watching the drama without the slightest resentment, and occasionally thoughtfully poured hot soup for themselves.
From the introduction of the people around him, Windsor learned that this opera is named xx, and the plot revolves around the great prince avenging his father and finally winning the kingdom domination, which is alluding to himself, Windsor didn't expect someone to make up a complete opera in just a few days, or it has already been made up and waited for him to show today, Windsor was a little irritable, he looked at the exaggerated "prince" performed on the stage, and listened to the more and more passionate tunes and felt unprecedentedly depressed.
When she woke up in the morning, Charlotte dressed up and shouted Mary to get up, Mary, who usually wakes up when she shouts, didn't move today, Charlotte touched her forehead, she really had a fever, and she was frightened by the quarrel with Igub yesterday.
Mary's temperature is not high, knowing that the Igub family is busy today, Charlotte does not plan to make trouble, so she finds a piece of cotton cloth dipped in cold water to cool Mary down.
Soon after Mary's body temperature dropped a little, Charlotte woke her up and fed her bowl of porridge, able to eat Charlotte felt that Mary would get better soon, and her mood was relaxed, seeing that she was asleep again and idle, she ran to Igub's room, knocked on the door gently, and listened quietly on the door for a while, there should be no one inside, the door was not locked, Charlotte was a little excited in her heart, in case Igubu left the letter, she pushed the door in a fluke and quickly locked the door, there was no one inside, Charlotte thought about where the letter might be hidden, let's start with the desk,
Igub's room was simply furnished, and it was effortless to find things, Charlotte didn't take a few minutes to rummage through the place, at the foot of the table, in the crack of the bed, and the hanging clock on the wall was also opened to see, and if I still didn't find the letter, Igub wouldn't burn it! Charlotte subconsciously rushed to the candlestick, a handful of black ashes in her eyes, Charlotte's pupils shrank, stretched out her slender index finger to flick the ashes, and pinched out a corner of the unburned piece of paper, this is obviously the letter that Igubu held in his hand yesterday, there is not a word on the paper, it seems to be the edge of the letter, Charlotte threw the paper back in disappointment, turned her head to leave, took two steps and felt that it was really cheap Igubu, turned back and picked up the small pile Hehe smiled, looked around Charlotte decided to sprinkle it in the kettle for him.
After doing the bad thing, Charlotte sneaked back to her room, came to the bed and found that Mary was still sleeping, sleeping for so long, and tested the temperature of her forehead with the palm of her hand, Charlotte raised her hand with a "ah", Mary's forehead became hot, a cool breeze blew, Charlotte saw the window that was not closed tightly, it was very cold in the autumn morning, and the cool breeze rushed in through the crack in the window to warm up.
Mary burned so badly that Charlotte couldn't control it, so let the doctor come and take a look, bump into Mary, rub her dry lips, and finally pick up her cloak and go out to see Mary.
The opera plays out the plot of the "prince" being kicked out of the palace, and the "prince" sings angrily and sorrowfully, and Windsor is caught in the painful memories of the past, and her heart resonates with the opera. Igub poured a few more glasses into his confusion, completely delirious, everyone else watching the opera was addicted to the play, no one noticed that the boy staggered to his feet, Igub stood up and felt that the whole world was shaking, strange, was there an earthquake, looked down at the Duke of Windsor, Windsor's head was also shaking, didn't he feel disgusted? Disgusting......
Vomit~~~
Igub bent down, and all the wine he had just drunk irrigated Windsor's hair.
A foul smell attracted everyone's attention, and the feeling of ticking on his head also pulled Windsor back to reality, and under the stunned eyes of the people around him, Yigub understood that he was in trouble, and quickly wiped his sleeve to make up for it, but it was a pity that so many elders moved faster than him,
"Come on, bring water!"
Windsor interrupted a few of them,
"No need, I'll see it here today, and I'll read it with you another day."
Windsor turned to Igub,
"Where's your room?"
Igubu was still standing stupidly, and an elder hurriedly stabbed him,
"Take the Duke of Windsor to your room to rest."
Igub stained the duke's hair and clothes, the duke was so much taller than igub, the duke would definitely not be able to wear his clothes, and he would have to buy a new set and send it over later.
Charlotte just ran out of Igub's house, Windsor entered the room where he lived under the leadership of Igub, I didn't expect Igub's room to be as simple and real as his appearance, Windsor's evaluation of this young man in his heart was a little higher, he was born in a noble family and could maintain a normal heart without worrying about food and clothing, this young man is a person who can achieve great things.
Windsor saw that Igubu's room was very tidy, refused to sit down and wait, stood by the window and looked at the scenery outside, by the way, let the cool breeze blow away the stench on his body, Igubu personally poured Windsor bath water, and asked him to move, looking at the young man's still panicked appearance, Windsor couldn't help but comfort,
"Don't blame yourself, the first time you drink, we shouldn't have poured you so much."
Igub was flattered, the Duke would take care of his emotions, it was so kind, it must be a dream! Tender boy, Windsor smiled lightly, took the towel and went to enjoy the cleaning.
Approaching noon, the air warmed up, Charlotte took off her cloak when she was running slowly, stopped after running for a while, and dragged pedestrians on the street to ask for directions, and finally found the medical hall, and looked at the cold courtyard from afar, Charlotte guessed that the door would not be closed, and took a closer look at the door closed, pulling the aunt who was passing by, Charlotte pointed to the medical hall and asked why it didn't open the door, and the aunt said with disgust,
"This doctor has healed people, and he was hanged yesterday! Don't knock on the door, there's only a crazy woman left inside. ”
This is a medical accident, and as a result, one life is worth one life, and after mourning the tragic fate of the doctor, Charlotte dragged her aunt again,
"Are you still in business? Hurry up, I'm in a hurry to go, it's so unlucky! ”
"Auntie, do you know where there is a medical center nearby? My family is very sick and needs to see a doctor right away! ”
When the aunt heard this, she felt compassion in her heart.
"I heard that there is a young son in the second family in the back street who knows how to heal, I just heard that someone was cured by him, and he doesn't need money, but the noble status of this family may not be shown to you, you go and try it, after all, there is no medical center nearby."
The second house in the back street, Charlotte thought that this was not the Egub family, it turned out that Egub had also treated patients for free.
"Thank you, Auntie, goodbye!"
There's no way, go back to Igub, what could be more important than seeing Mary.
Windsor took a bath in the middle of a servant who sent suitable clothes, Igub waved away the servant, personally handed the clothes to Windsor, Windsor sorted everything out and sat in front of Igub again It only took twenty minutes, this is efficiency, Windsor looked at the brown round kettle on the table and felt very thirsty, and Igub, who was embarrassed, finally found something to do, lifted the kettle and poured it for Windsor, the cups used by Igub were all fine, Windsor was very relieved, and I didn't see what was poured inside and took a sip,
"Poof~~~~~~"
Igub was shocked when he saw this, and immediately knelt at the feet of Windsor, what kind of water is this! Windsor poured water on the table, the cool water mixed with black ash, and playfully,
"Igubu has a really strong taste, do you want to see if the witch's potion can cure diseases?"
Igub heard that Windsor was not angry, put his mind at ease, looked up at the table, why was the turbidity inside so familiar, Igub's puzzled expression fell in Windsor's eyes, knowing that there was probably a story here, and he was not interested in asking about other people's family affairs, he was really a little thirsty, so let's go back quickly, this visit is very satisfied with the embarrassing things in addition to the situation,
"Okay, I've been bothering for so long today, I should go back and look forward to seeing each other next time."
Igub shook off his doubts and sent the Duke of Windsor downstairs, all the big and small people in the family gathered here, and when they saw the Duke of Windsor coming out, they all hugged him to say goodbye, and Windsor's guards waited aside, until they walked out of the gate of Igub's house, and the guards separated the enthusiastic nobles.
Charlotte ran back to Igub's house and saw a group of people surrounded by a young man at the door of the house, at this time I should be able to find Igub in the past, Charlotte trotted while searching for the figure of the little doctor, but there were too many people, and everyone was wearing no features, basically a black and white flaxen robe, the little doctor was so low that it was difficult to find it with his eyes, Charlotte had to shout in a low voice,
"Igub! Igub! I'm Charlotte! ”
Windsor was accustomed to people's enthusiasm, calmly walked through the crowd to his carriage, smiled and waved goodbye to people, Windsor turned around and lifted the beaded curtain on the door,
"Igub?! Where are you? Charlotte has something to do with you! ”
A bead was crushed, and the string of beads below fell and scattered a crystal on the ground, Windsor glanced back at the crowd, the bright and bright girl was crying anxiously, her expression was vivid, her figure was lovely,
"Hey! Charlotte, what are you doing here? ”
Igub squeezed through the crowd and grabbed Charlotte, a hint of joy flashed on the girl's face, and soon frowned again, she dragged the boy against the crowd and squeezed into the house, was there an emergency, Windsor let go of the deformed door frame and got into the carriage,
Jingle bell~
The carriage departed, and Windsor finally opened the window to look back at the crowd, and Charlotte was nowhere to be found.
