Chapter 56: Reason and Desire Collide

January 15, 528 at 22:34 in the Magic Calendar

Ever since Marshall's appearance at the Music Salon, many wives of aristocratic families have rushed to send butlers to the Magic Guild to invite Marshall to his home to play music. He refused them all, on the grounds that he had already agreed to Princess Merlily's invitation. Every Friday night, she is dedicated, and the flute music is played for half an hour alone in her room.

Melili hurried back to the palace after the meeting, also because she could see Marshall again today.

Melily saw Marshall in the parlor of the palace's side hall, and she ran over panting: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting. ”

Marshall looked at his watch, then looked at Melily and smiled softly: "It's okay, I only waited for the princess for thirty-four minutes." ”

"Marshall, are you angry?"

"No, it's just that I'll have to make you wait for me for thirty-four more minutes."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not going to end it so soon today, I'm going to extend it for half an hour."

"Really?" Melilli flushed, lowered her head and smiled.

Melily led Marshall into her room, and soon the melodious sound of a flute could be heard in the room, but it didn't take long for the sound to stop. For an hour, Marshall did not come out. Two hours, still not out.

When Melily woke up, it was still dark, but Marshall was gone. Melily sat up, her tongue licking the corners of her mouth that couldn't help but rise.

Marshall took a bag full of gold coins and counted them carefully, which contained a hundred gold coins. Marshall knew that he obviously didn't have a liking for Melily, but when the temptation appeared, his body would sink into it uncontrollably. For Marshall, it was his first time, and a feeling of indescribability welled up in his heart.

He felt that he had betrayed his feelings for Hongying, which led to a sense of guilt, but at the same time he was full of excitement and freshness to the comforting feeling. Marshall sighed, then took the gold coin and counted it again, the entanglement in his heart gradually faded away, and only the desire for money and the desire for the flesh remained.

Winter mornings would come later, and Marshall returned to the college dormitory with a heavy gold coin. He needed a night's sleep now, and yesterday's all-night party had left him feeling tired at dawn. As soon as his body touched the bed, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Marshall came to the dream, he was flying, so he knew he was dreaming.

Two strange women appeared in the dream, one woman in a sexy red dress standing far away. Another woman, who is walking towards herself, takes off her coat as she walks, looking even sexier. Marshall took the sexy woman's hand and looked at her face carefully, although it looked somewhat familiar, but in the dream world she was Hongying, or Melily.

When he woke up, Marshall couldn't remember anything else, and he struggled to get out of bed as the sunlight outside the window became dazzling. When he wanted to open the window to let in the air, he noticed the noisy second-graders on the racetrack.

Marshall saw that it was not early, he still had a music salon in the afternoon, and he had to save money at noon. Thinking of the money, Marshall quickly looked at the money in the bag again. This is not a dream!

He sighed, guilt overriding desire.

But when it was time to leave the academy, Hongying and Meng Tianyu sat on the viewing platform of the racetrack, like a knife piercing Marshall's already broken heart.

Marshall clenched the money bag and the black box containing the flute. He fled to the bank, deposited money, and ate. Then I met Melily in the dressing room of the music restaurant, who came to see me.

He grabbed Melily's arm hard, and she was shyly pulled into a dressing room by Marshall.

"Marshall, what are you doing? Dislike. ”

Marshall used his lips to invade the woman who had begun to unbutton.

Every time he saw Melilli's expression of satisfaction and enjoyment in the mirror, Marshall's frustration would slowly fill up. Marshall pressed Melilley very hard, as if Marshall's roughness had made her even more excited. The more rough Marshall became, the more he felt that this was his revenge for Hongying's betrayal of him.

Marshall unintentionally raised his eyes to see his loss of mind in the mirror, and for a moment he felt so disgusted, but soon this feeling disappeared, and he couldn't stop at this point.

Afterwards, Melily packed her clothes and returned to the dining room. Marshall put on the costume that Melillie had chosen and was ready to get to work.

Marshall made a name for himself as a flutist, and his third performance in the music restaurant had already attracted quite a few aristocrats, but most of them were women. Are any of them really appreciating his music?

When Marshall finished his work and was ready to leave work, he was surrounded by various invitations. The remuneration for his work has also increased tenfold because of his reputation, which he did not expect at all.

Xiang Risong was sitting in his office looking at the financial statements of the two major black markets in the north and south. At this time, the door next to the office was opened, and a manservant came out: "Sir, the music salon is over." ”

"Got it. You go to Lingling's law firm in Kitodoro and give her this letter. Personally into her hands. He turned off the light on his desk and stretched.

The manservant nodded and said, "Yes." Then he left.

Xiang Risong left the office building of the 24th Council of Parliamentarians and stood on the road to leave the royal city waiting for Marshall.

Marshall paused when he saw Xiang Himatsu's figure.

Xiang Risong turned to look at Marshall and said, "Long time no see, Marshall." ”

"Mr. Xiangri. Do you have anything to do with me? ”

"We haven't seen each other for a few months, how did we become so separated? Your name has been spread everywhere in the past half a month, are you taking good care of Hongying? ”

"She doesn't need me to take care of her anymore, that kid from the Dream Family will take care of her."

"What do you say? You ......" Xiang Rimatsu swallowed the words again after saying half of his words, "what do you say is the matter with Melili?" Did she do something to you? ”

"It's nothing, it's just something grown-ups do."

"Going crazy, you two going crazy together? Don't you know who Melily is? ”

"She's a princess. What's wrong? ”

"You know that, too! She's going to play you to death, you think she likes you? She just likes your young flesh. In the future, I would rather go to those aristocratic rich ladies than find such a crazy woman. ”

Marshall was unhappy with Xiang Risong's tone: "Who do you think you are?" Why do you even care about me now? I'm not your servant anymore! ”

Xiang Himatsu was choked by Marshall's words, looked at Marshall's departing figure, and gritted his teeth.

You don't know how dangerous that woman is, I'm concerned about you, Marshall.

Xiang Risong returned to the office building of the parliamentary council and knocked on the office of the maiden palace Xihaitang.

"Come in."

Xi Haitang saw that it was Xiang Risong who pushed the door open, and she was a little surprised: "Taurus Palace, why did you come to me?" It's a rarity. ”

Xiang Risong pursed his lips: "Actually, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”

"Is there anything you can discuss with me?" Xihaitang put down the thick materials in his hand and stood up from behind the desk.

"About ...... I think you should know that I adopted a younger sister. But she's in puberty now, and there are a lot of things I can't ...... Make it clear. ”

"Ah, if a girl is missing a mother's role in her life, it will be detrimental to her growth. I also know that a child is very dependent on his parents. I'll definitely help with this favor. But you came to me for help, and I was a little surprised. ”

"In the council, I can only trust you."

"Because I used to be your grandfather's student?"

"In you I can see that you are a mother. I'll be relieved to hand over Hongying to you. ”

"Red Glow." Xihaitang thoughtfully, "This name is very familiar, I seem to have heard my daughter say it before." ”

"She's a stubborn girl, I can't beat her."

Xihaitang looked at Xiang Risong and smiled with relief: "It's good, your heart is a lot softer." I really want to meet that kid. ”

"There's also a teenager ......"

"I know, his name is Marshall, and I remember him as if he used to be your subordinate."

"That's him. How do you know I'm talking about him? ”

"Look at the way you look, and I'll know."

"Since he has a passion for the profession, I hope he can really succeed."

"I've heard what people say about him, I've heard him play in person, and he's famous for a reason. Actually, if you don't say it, I also have this intention. I have a few top orchestras and performance troupes in the country, and I will recommend him. ”

Xiang Risong breathed a sigh of relief, and then finally laughed: "Thank you so much, Aunt Tang." ”

"Oh, it's been a long time since you've called me that, Komatsu."

"Then you're busy, I'll go first."

Watching Xiang Risong leave, Xihaitang sat on the sofa, and many memories of the past came to his heart.

Twenty years ago, the Xiangri family went to the battlefield to destroy Shandan, but they never returned. At that time, Xihaitang was still a newcomer who had just graduated and became a magic knight. She had heard of Hi-eda's prestige, and her admiration for Him-eda was even greater than her respect for the king.

Himae, his grandmother was the sister of Mophili I, Princess Rose, Mophili Rose.

Mukai grew up living in the royal castle, and when he grew up, he helped Ni expand his territory. By the time of the third generation, Xiang Risong was still young and full of combat effectiveness. Become the legend of immortality, the king of all battles. Mukai's brilliant life ended in the Battle of Shandan.

The begonia, who followed Xiang Rizhi's ass every day and took the initiative to ask to go to the battlefield, has been blaming herself after hearing the news. She felt that it was her failure to follow that would lead to such an irreversible result.

She didn't go because Xiang Hi-chi's grandson, Xiang Himatsu, had just turned old and needed someone to take care of her. So she took good care of Xiang Himatsu until five years later, when her own daughter was born. She handed over Xiang Risong to the care of the three brothers of the Kofuda family, and only Kofuda Zhi had more time and often took care of him.

Although Begonia visits Himatsu every weekend, as he gets older, he is curious about his family. But the more I learned about the truth, the more empty and lost I felt inside.

Growing up in a daze, he became a judge in a daze. In the eyes of others, his life was very smooth, but he himself knew that this was King Anli giving himself alms.

Xihaitang took out his communication card and contacted the managers of several top orchestras, and they all received satisfactory replies. Then she planned to put down her work and rush to the academy to see her daughter. Even though Ying Xing kept saying that she was okay on the communication card, Xihaitang was still very worried about her daughter.
