The cigarette butt suddenly lit up, and blue-gray smoke poured out, filling the surroundings.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

As the smell of smoke spread, Akhena covered her mouth and coughed violently.

She took a quick sip of water, suppressed her cough, and then pressed the cigarette she had just lit on the table, completely crushing it, and letting go of the sparse cigarette, Akhena took a deep breath, his breathing gradually calmed down, looked at Louis and said:

"It's decided, I'm going to be the king's woman!"

"You must be crazy. Louis looked down and sipped on the wine, not looking at her.

"I'm serious. Akanna cupped her face, forced her best friend to look into her eyes, and said clearly.

"Ahem, ahem!"

The short-haired girl choked and coughed, and looked at her with wide eyes, her face full of surprise and suspicion: "That's impossible, the Sun King won't marry a commoner like us, that would pollute the bloodline of the gods." ”

"I don't want to be a queen, as long as I can become a king's woman, let him kiss me and love me. Akhena let go of his hands, looked at the smoke remaining on the table, and replied with a smile.

"I advise you to be realistic. Louis shook his head, not optimistic about her overly ambitious ideals.

"Why not?" Akhena held up his golden ponytail and covered half of his face, revealing only his eyes and seductive tear moles:

"That red-haired female adjutant, is I pretty?"

"Nope. Louis replied with certainty.

"Then why is it that she is favored by the king, but I can't?" Akhena continued.

"Because...... She was in a high position and had frequent contact with the king. Louis said hesitantly.

"In that case, as long as I can have regular contact with the king, wouldn't it!?" Akon's chin was raised proudly, his eyes flashing with a superb light, and at the same time he let go of his shaved white fingers, letting the long hair run down his palms like tassels.

"Sort of. Louis said uncertainly.

"If I were to become a professional dancer and be able to perform regularly at the Grand Theatre in the city of Ekhtaton, wouldn't I have a chance to meet the king!?" said Akon, who clenched his fists and waved vigorously, with high morale.

"If you start working hard now, you will definitely be able to do it!"

"Come on!" As if infected by her faith, Louis nodded heavily, silently blessing her in his heart.

......

After that, Akhena quit her hotel job with Louis and signed up for the Memphis Opera Company, while Louis married the son of a wealthy businessman, but in just over a year, Akhena quickly became a well-known dancer thanks to her natural gifts and beautiful looks.

Just when both of them thought that their respective fates had been staggered, and only good memories remained, the thread of friendship was never broken - behind the scenes of a chance public performance, they met again with the ups and downs of all these years.

Due to Akhenna's role as the heroine, there is not much time left for her to go behind the scenes, and the two can only make an appointment to meet at Akhena's residence.

......

On this day, Louis came to Akhena's villa by appointment.

She wore a simple high ponytail, two pearl earrings with chains hanging from her earlobes, a simple plain clothes on the top, a pair of blue close-fitting trousers on the bottom, and low-heeled white sandals on her feet. The face is painted with light makeup, and the dark and heavy eyeliner with moisturizing lipstick modifies the slightly haggard face of the short-haired girl.

Akhena's private villas are imposing, with a spacious living room and floor-to-ceiling windows that occupy an entire wall facing the garden outside. The furnishings in the living room are not luxurious, but every piece of furniture is spotlessly clean, and there is a kind of coldness and sophistication that repels people from thousands of miles away.

“......”

Louis sat on the sofa under the guidance of the maid, and saw a large oil painting on the opposite side of the sofa, showing a beautiful woman lying on her side, which was an artistic portrait of Akhena.

"Louis!"

With a friendly cheer, she turned her gaze to the corridor to the west—Akon's excited brisk walk, her beauty unstoppable by the toned and elegant nature of her dancing career.

"Akhena, I miss you so much. ”

"I miss you too, how are you doing?"

When the two sisters met, they began to tell their stories over the years, and Akhena seemed very talkative, but Louis was a little secretive. Soon, under Akhena's questioning, Louis slowly expressed his sadness - it turned out that her husband did not marry her because of love, but because he liked men, but needed a woman to raise offspring for him.

Originally, when her husband's father was still alive, Louis lived a miserable life, but he could barely get by, and when the old man went to see Hades, his husband was completely unscrupulous...... Louis is nothing more than furniture for him to take care of his children. In order to please his partner, the husband even gave Luis to the other party more than once to play with him...... Louis hated this kind of life and tried to resist, but she was not financially independent and had no life skills...... In the end, I can only continue to endure it.

After listening to what happened to her best friend, Akon's face sank like water, and he gave her an idea:

"Then kill him! he dies and the property is yours. ”

"No, no, no, no!" Louis was directly frightened, shaking his head vigorously to refuse.

"Listen to me, Louis, you don't dare to divorce, do you? You're afraid of his revenge, aren't you?

Akhena stepped forward and hugged her friend's trembling body, patted her on the back, and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll help you......! Originally, it was going to deal with the dean. Now you're here...... If we kill your husband together, the plan will be even more foolproof. ”

It turns out that Akhena's life is not as glamorous as it seems, and the reason why she became popular so quickly is because she dared to borrow money and throw money.

Of course, in fact, many people want Akhena's body more than money, but Akhena is unwilling, she would rather spend more money to keep her chastity, because chastity is an important capital for her to realize her dreams.

Because of this, Akanna, who often spends a lot of money, quickly made ends meet, and now has reached the point of being in debt, and urgently needs a sum of money to put out the fire.

In desperation, Akhena came up with the bold idea of marrying the director of the opera house and then plotting to kill him and seize the property. Although the stakes are high, her debt has ballooned to the point where she has to take risks.

Louis's arrival, and what has happened to her over the years, undoubtedly gave Arkona another choice: joining forces with his most trusted best friend and killing someone who had nothing to do with him was undoubtedly much less risky than killing his own husband.

Perhaps it was a moment of fascination, or perhaps it was the backlash of years of oppression, and Louis finally agreed to work with Akhenna.

......

Forty days later, Louis' husband's mansion.

The deafening music of the party had ended, the lights swirling silently all around, and flickering radial pillars of light pierced the darkness, illuminating the messy living room, the scattered tables and chairs, the scattered empty wine bottles, and the flowing red blood.

The owner of the mansion was lying on the ground at this time, his chest pierced by a sharp blade, his eyes were wide open, and he seemed to die and did not believe that he would be planted in the hands of his cowardly wife. Next to the load-bearing pillar in the living room, Louis looked at her husband's corpse, trembling with fear, and her legs were so weak that she could fall to her knees almost at any moment.

“......”

Akhena sat in a high-backed chair next to the corpse with a glass of red wine in his hand as usual, his eyes shining with dazzling light. Looking at the dead man's eyes, she craned her neck and drank the red wine in her glass, and the bright red wine flowed down the bright red evening dress.

"Don't be afraid, his lover has already run away!"

Sensing Louis's state at this time, Akhena narrowed his eyes and comforted him in the gentlest voice: "We have created a lot of friction for them these days, plus when we held a party, we fed that guy a lot of medicine. He now completely thinks he's the murderer, and when the police come, we just have to say that as soon as we come back and see your husband dead at home, it's easy to cover up the past. ”

"Is it going to be okay? is it really going to be okay?" Louis asked over and over again, looking at her with a pale face.

"Don't worry, I've already arranged everything. Akhena raised his glass, looked at his own reflection in the glass, and replied confidently.

Things are the same as Akhena said, in the face of her carefully arranged and well-designed death, as well as her flawless acting skills, the police quickly convict the suspect as the same-sex lover of the deceased. Even the lover who had violated Louis himself considered himself a murderer, and the case was quickly closed.

Louis succeeded in inheriting all of her husband's fortune and helping Arkhena pay off his debts, and the two became grasshoppers tied to the same rope because of this relationship.

......

Soon after the turmoil passed, Akhena received a huge amount of financial support, and his career flourished further. Louis is grateful to her for saving her from misery and begins to work for her willingly, and after the two sisters join forces, everything goes more and more smoothly.

Until the two were twenty-three years old, the cabinet suddenly began to order the rectification of the entertainment industry, and all artists with disorderly private lives and black histories would be completely banned. In the end, Akhena did not escape, not because of her personal misconduct, but because of bribery......

Eventually, Akhena slipped from the smash hit position, infinitely close to his dream, and fell into the abyss completely.

Akhena, who was forbidden to perform, was unwilling to accept his fate in this way, and still regarded himself as the favored dancer, maintaining a decent life, and life soon became beyond his means.

Increasingly strained financially, a hopeless future, a gap between dreams and reality, and anxiety about the passing of her life quickly put Akona into a mental depression and was on the verge of a breakdown, and she began to drink heavily and get drunk all day long.

During this process, Louis has always been by her side.

One by one, one by one

A year later.

As usual, Akhena slept drunken until the afternoon sun shone through the curtains on her drowsy countenance, and she struggled to open her eyes, rose from the empty bottles that littered the floor, walked to the bed, and reached for the bedside table, ready to pour herself a glass of cold boiled water.

Then he didn't touch the water bottle or glass, and his fingers fluttered into the air, and he only touched a newspaper with a rough surface.

"Luis, please pour me a glass of water!"

Akona massaged his temples with his fingers as he pulled through the newspaper and glanced at it casually, only to be caught by one piece of news.

The content of that news is roughly - a young man in Wangdu, who started from scratch, earned a lot of wealth for himself by being a middleman for various entrepreneurs.

At this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in Akhena's mind, and she seemed to have found another way to walk in front of the Sun King.

Since entrepreneurs need intermediaries to liaise and adjust in order to achieve the optimal allocation of information and resources...... So between officials and officials, between officials and entrepreneurs, will there also be such people!?

If so, in what ways do you attract them?

"Hahaha!"

Suddenly, Akanna narrowed his eyes, covered his lips with the back of his snow-white hand, and began to laugh uncontrollably: "Why should I think so complicated!? Just keep your eyes on the man...... As long as there are beautiful women, men will rush to pounce like bees and butterflies. ”

At that moment, the bedroom door was pushed open, and Louis, holding a glass of boiling water, walked inside, and looked at her in surprise.

"Luis, I thought of a good idea. ”

Akhena got up from the bed, walked quickly to Louis, took the glass from her hand, drank it, and said with a smile, "It's risky, but it can help me get there, and it can help us live our lives." ”

"How?" said Louiston, pricking up his ears.

Akhena immediately told her what she had just come up with, and what she had planned for the future. And the current Louis is not the trembling little white rabbit back then, the two have long been fed up with this kind of day, and it can be said that they hit it off.

In this way, the two relied on the foundation of dancing and their extraordinary appearance, and began to wander among the aristocratic circles of the royal capital in the way of dance partners. Of course, the two of them are not selling their bodies...... Because for the aristocracy, a woman who is well-bred and can control the lower half of the body is more trustworthy than a prostitute who spreads her legs for money.

At the same time, Akhena's previous fame also laid the foundation for her brokerage career.

In the eyes of politicians and aristocrats, Akanna, a former dancer, must have had a stronger network than the average broker.

It didn't take long for them to earn their first pot of gold in the hands of a wealthy businessman: this rich businessman coveted the status of a nobleman and wanted to bless himself with a layer of aristocratic aura through marriage. However, due to the problems of the circle, he has not been able to find a way, and Akhena and Louis know many nobles who are on the verge of bankruptcy.
