The much-anticipated banquet went on for a while, and Prince Gennaro was already getting a little drunk. He looked at Du Wei beside him drunkenly, and snorted a big sip of wine in a slurred manner: "By the way, Du Wei, where is your father?" Shouldn't he be with us at this time, why didn't he come out, did he, the host, have any opinion on us guests? “

Du Wei listened to his brainless remarks, and his disgust for him was even worse in his heart, but because of his identity, he hurriedly waved his hand and denied it: "No, no, no, you misunderstood." Actually, my father's body has been a little unwell recently, and he is resting in his own room at the back of the castle, and he will come out naturally when he feels a little more comfortable, and he definitely doesn't have any thoughts or opinions about your adults, so please don't get me wrong. “

"What? Lord Earl, he's not feeling well? Genenaro pushed his glass, rudely interrupted Du Wei's words, and said with a righteous face. Why didn't you tell me sooner, you fool, take me in, I'm going to visit our Earl!" “

Du Wei pondered for a while, but couldn't resist his repeated requests, so he nodded helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, if you don't want to ask for it, I'll take you in." “

Genaro suddenly became very happy, stretched out his arm and hugged Du Wei, who was sitting on the side, and said happily: "Naturally not, you can lead the way quickly!" “

Looking at the two figures who were talking and laughing and leaving the hall, Charles's heart suddenly moved. He turned his head with this familiar sudden sensation, and found a sneaky figure hiding behind the wooden door between the kitchen and the castle hall, looking at him anxiously, gesturing with something in his hands.

Charles narrowed his eyes slightly, and after seeing who the man was, he stood up with a nonchalant face, and left the lively wine table under the pretext of going to the toilet, carefully avoiding the crowd and walking in the direction of the figure.

He quickly got there, reached out and tapped lightly on the door. Immediately, a woman's voice came from behind the door: "Lord Charles, Mademoiselle, she is waiting for you in the tower by the garden, you enter through the door on the left side of the hall, follow the corridor to the end, then turn left and pass through an unoccupied room, and you will see the entrance to the tower." The guards in the castle are all busy outside, and the servants in the vicinity have also been assigned by me, so no one will disturb you in that uninhabited area, so you can rest assured! Go ahead, don't make the lady wait! “

Charles listened to Amanda's words, and was a little dizzy by the sudden surprise. Because of this surging joy and excitement, his expression changed greatly, and his face became pale for a while, and bright red for a while. There was no doubt that a strange thought was surging in his mind because of the scene at the wine table just now. Then he shook his head with great force, as if to expel the thoughts from his mind.

"Thank you so much, Miss Amanda, for your help I will never forget. So, before I really have the ability to repay you, I hope you will accept this little gift. Charles pulled five dinars out of his purse and shoved them into Amanda's hand behind the door.

Amanda quietly thanked him, turned and slipped through a small door like a butterfly and disappeared.

Charles felt the maid's departure, but suddenly remembered his lover - her snow-white face, big dark eyes, and dark hair all made an extremely strong impression on Charles's heart, leaving an indelible imprint. He felt that there was a strange, incomprehensible, irresistible attraction in her, and no matter where Charles was, no matter what time it was, whenever he thought of her, a fire and tenderness would rise in Charles's heart that would be difficult to extinguish.

In the beginning, Charles also tried to expel from his heart this feeling, which was impossible for him, for his reason had already told him that it was an absolutely absurd idea to fall in love with the daughter of such a great nobleman, because there were insurmountable obstacles between them, whether it was status or wealth, which were insurmountable gulps.

But the thoughts of Elena were more than one time, domineering and stubborn in his mind, almost making him unable to live a normal life. This incomparably strong emotion constantly came out of the midst of all kinds of thoughts and everyday things and occupied his heart, and every minute and every second hit his heart, making his emotions agitated. Later, this longing became more and more intense, and finally completely seized his whole body and mind.

Sometimes, things can even get out of his control. Many times he didn't know what was going on, he would be attracted by an inexplicable power, and he would come to the outskirts of the castle of the lord of Djerkhara, and stand there dumbfounded, looking at the buildings inside through the high stone walls, imagining her life inside.

This deep longing became stronger day by day, and he missed her, loved her passionately, and worshipped her as the goddess in his heart. This kind of affection cannot be explained to anyone, even to himself.

As for Elena, she's actually only seen Charles twice before. Or strictly speaking, even the first time she saw Charles, she was just sitting in the special stands, casually glancing through the crowd below, and did not find Charles hidden deep in it. But later, at the dinner party after the athletic conference, after feeling Charles's adoring gaze, she even developed a strong emotion, and almost couldn't restrain herself from wanting to leave everything behind and fly away with him. But out of responsibility for her family and for the sake of her reputation, she gave up on this unrealistic romantic idea.

So in the end, she is also in love with him.

Once again, Charles dodged the jubilant crowd and came to the gate that Amanda had spoken, pushed it open with trembling hands, and quickly dodged inside.

"She's right here, in this icy castle." Charles thought silently as he walked, "She's only a corridor away from me right now. Here, there is not such a big distance between us, and there is not such a big identity gap, she belongs to me alone! I'm right here, and soon I'll be close to her, and I'll be alone with her. I can feel her temperature, I can hear her voice, and I can even taste her lips! ”

"But why! Why are you robbing my lover from me! Charles quickened his pace with red eyes, clenched his fists, and strode through the unoccupied room. When he reached the end, the cold outline of the stone in front of him had clearly told him that this was the place he was looking for.

Charles stepped out of his left foot in excitement, and suddenly froze, he suddenly realized that the emotion he had had before was extremely abnormal.

He lowered his head and silently thought: What the hell is wrong with me? What about my cool head? Have I completely lost my reason? Am I already insane by that emotional stimulation?

Charles shuddered at the thought of this, and he hugged his head with his hands hard, looking at the gray stone top above his head in fear. His heart was beating fast, and the blood vessels in his forehead were pounding suddenly, almost bursting. After a while, he said in a voice that only he could hear: "O God, my merciful Lord, save me from this hopeless madness!" ”

Then he bowed his head, as if in prayer. After a moment of silence, he muttered again: 'Or, let me sink like this!' ”

After saying this, he didn't hesitate anymore, and stepped on the stone steps with a big step, never looking back.
