Chapter 9: The Maniac at the Prom
In the central garden, a huge statue of Moore I stands, an ornate fountain bubbling, and soft music wafts through the beautiful night.
There are dead bodies everywhere outside the city, and the city is drunk and golden.
The hall was filled with silver candles flickering, and the men were polite in their dresses, and their huge skirts were turning exaggeratedly in the crowd.
None of the people present were dressed in black, dazzling gold, fiery red, bright yellow, and all kinds of colored dresses.
As soon as Horn stepped inside, he felt out of place.
Not a single one wore black!
Dare to invite the royal princess to participate!
This is a clear indication of not taking the royal family in mind!
Want to rebel?!
Horn came in alone, she didn't have a pre-arranged dance partner, and the people present seemed to be in pairs, which made her even more out of place.
Horn avoided the dancing crowd and sat down in the corner, where she was soon served a drink by a maid.
Horn picked up the glass, didn't drink it, held it, and quietly observed the men and women dancing on the dance floor.
She saw many of the most famous aristocratic men and women in the intelligence, and these people were separated from the portraits, and their faces were filled with intoxication at the moment.
Horn watched for a long time, but did not see the Marquis of Jace, the organizer of the ball.
On the way, a man invited her to dance, and Horn looked at the other party's face that was hollowed out by the wine, and instantly lost interest.
She politely declined: "I'm sorry, I have an appointment." ”
The man gentlemanly made way for her, and said, "Ah, beautiful young lady, what a pity. ”
Is it just to watch other people dance all night?
Horn certainly didn't want to.
She summoned a maid who was serving wine, and asked, "Where is your marquis?" I want to see him. ”
The maid hesitated for a moment and replied, "Hello, distinguished guest, my master is not here now. ”
Horn looked at her and looked at his expression, and was very sure that she was lying, and immediately pulled the person out of the hall, and said forcefully, "Lead the way, hurry up." ”
The maid saw that she had an extraordinary bearing and a bad look, and she didn't dare to offend her, so she had to walk in front of her, and asked weakly on the way: "Miss, I will be responsible for helping you lead the way, and when the time comes, don't say that I led the way." ”
Horn nodded in agreement.
They moved away from the revelry crowd and walked through the central garden to a rockery.
By this time the maid had refused to go, and she said, "The marquis is in the pavilion behind this rockery, please go find him yourself! I have been gone for a long time, and I will be discovered by the supervisor! Sorry, miss, goodbye!"
"Oh yes, please don't forget our agreement!"
After saying that, the maid who led the way left in a hurry.
At the moment, no one is empty and lonely, which is a stark contrast to the carnival of the central garden.
Horn stood motionless in front of the rockery.
That Marquis Jace was a little unsure of what Horn was trying to do, and he might die if he rushed in.
He has already made it clear that he doesn't take the royal family seriously.
While thinking about it, a figure suddenly jumped in the air, and then landed on the rockery deftly.
Horn was keenly aware of it.
She looked up, and in the dim moonlight, a green-eyed teenager was looking down at her playfully.
The night breeze blew his long black hair, and he sat on the rockery so casually, but it made people feel extremely dangerous.
Especially those eyes—extremely aggressive, like a fierce beast coming out of a dense forest, the next second it will show its fangs and bite off the neck of its prey.
"Hello~ Horn, long time no see~ When did you become a madman?"
The boy spoke excitedly, his green eyes like beasts in the night.
Horn: "......"
Also.
She felt that this kid was crazy.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the young man pursed his lips and said, "It's really sad, have you forgotten me? ”
Although he said that he was sad, Horn didn't see that he was sad at all.
Horn quickly went through the information on Wangcheng's relationship in his brain, but found that there was no information about the young man in front of him at all.
Well?
Isn't he from the imperial capital?
So why is it here?
Without an invitation from the Marquis of Jace, you can't get into the Central Garden.
The boy yawned and said, "Okay, don't think about it, I'm a little sleepy, can you go play with me?"
Horn asked, "Who are you?"
The boy didn't answer her question, but laughed a little wildly, "Who am I? hahaha? Who am I? Do you want to laugh at me?!"
He laughed and jumped off the rockery, tears in his green eyes.
The boy clutched his stomach and finally recovered, he stood in front of Horn and said, "Okay, don't ask such idiot questions, you look at me, don't you think we are the same kind of people?"
Horn felt that there was nothing like each other except that their hair was the same as their pupils.
So she rolled her eyes and said, "I am who I am, don't confuse me with you." ”
The boy was very disdainful of her words, "Don't pretend, do you think I can't see it? You're also a madman! Hahaha! You were dead four years ago!"
Oops, as if I met an old acquaintance of this body.
I saw through her at once.
What to do?
Kill him?
Horn's green eyes narrowed, staring at the boy in front of him.
The boy was stared at by her, but instead of being afraid, he hugged her and jumped up the rockery with her with a slight borrowing.
The corner of the boy's mouth tugged at an excited smile, he met Horn's eyes without fear, and said slowly, "You want to kill me?"
Horn: "There's an idea. ”
The young man was a little annoyed, and as punishment, he pinched Horn's face fiercely, and said, "What an honest madman, it's a pity, you can't kill me, because ......"
He threw Horn down suddenly, so strong that Horn had no room to resist.
"Because—you can't touch me as long as I want, hahaha!
The sensation of the volley was only momentary, and immediately Horn fell solidly to the ground.
Fell from a rockery of more than three meters.
Horn: "......"
!!!
(Expletive)
If it weren't for the lawn under the rockery, she estimated that her waist would have been broken.
Horn was covered in grass clippings, and she got up angrily, picked up a rock, and threw it at the boy.
Don't look at it as a stone, it is skillfully used on it, and it will definitely not feel good when it hits people.
The boy dodged with a slight side, and he said happily: "Oh! I'm angry, I'm angry! I like you crazy!"
Horn pointed at the boy and said, "You have planted it." ”
The boy was not fooled in the slightest, and he revealed, "Why do you come down? Let you stab you with the dagger hidden in your thigh?"
Horn paused and smiled softly: "No, it won't, you come down, let's have a good talk." ”
The young man sat on the rockery, and his joy blossomed: "Do you know? I can see at a glance the violent heart hidden under the surface of your hypocrisy, and you still struggle to laugh, you laugh at me to death! Hahahahaha!"
Horn narrowed his eyes and sank.
She didn't get angry anymore, but said calmly: "You kid, you are so lonely that you still look crazy, how old are you? so naïve?"
The young man suddenly stopped laughing as if he had been poked in the center, and he said unkindly: "Hmph, it's really boring." How do you see that?"
Horn rubbed his aching waist and didn't want to pay attention to him at all.
I didn't want to look for any more Marquis Jace of Rausch, she was angry now, and turned around and left.
The boy jumped off the rockery quickly, grabbed her, and said, "Okay, it's okay if you don't answer me, don't go, you go play with me! I haven't met a madman for a long time!"
!
You're crazy, your whole family is!
Horn slapped his hand away directly, and wanted to stab him to death with a knife, but after thinking about the boy's extraordinary skills, he instantly didn't bother to do useless work.
She turned around and warned, "Little madman, don't follow me, stay away from me." ”
The boy ignored her words, and instead put his hand on Horn's waist: "Oh, I'm sorry, does it hurt? I'll rub it for you......!
Horn: "......"
Ah!! who's going to help her take in this little madman?!
She tried to pull the boy's hand away from her waist, and after a long time, she broke a finger.
Horn angrily slapped the teenager.
The boy was slapped firmly, and as if he didn't feel pain, he took Horn's hand and looked at him, "You hit me, do you hurt more?"
Horn: "It hurts, but it's relieving!"
The young man laughed when he heard this, "Why are you so angry? I didn't throw you on purpose! You obviously wanted to kill me at that time, but I was too scared to make a stress reaction!"
Horn squinted at him and sneered, "You're going to be scared? You won't even blink an eye with my knife on your neck!"
The young man smiled "hehe" and said, "Look, this is what crazy people have in common~ In other words, if you are Horn, when you are on the verge of death, it will not be fear, but hatred or anger!"
At this time, Horn had to admit that this little madman did have a little resemblance to her, the difference was that she could wear a false appearance and cry at any time, but he disdained it.
Maybe that's the difference between a normal person and a madman.
What a madman thinks, he does not hide it, he lives happily, and he is not subject to the eyes of the world.
And the so-called normal people can't let go.
Horn suddenly said, "Tell me your name." ”
The young man tilted his head, and looked at her slyly with green eyes: "You promise to play with me first, and I will tell you." ”
Horn said indifferently: "Forget it, I don't want to play with you more than I want to know your name." ”
The boy hugged her bear, and Horn struggled to no avail, and was dragged up the rockery by him again.
Horn looked at the apparently higher landscape, his aching waist protesting. She said, "I warn you, if you throw me down again, I will really ......"
The young man stared at her without blinking, and innocently asked, "What will happen?" ”
"Will be thrown down......"
"Hahaha!" The boy was amused by her, and he pinched Horn's face again without any scruples, and laughed: "Horn!
Dead child!
Horn was so angry that he hooked the boy's neck and bit his lip hard.
