Chapter 044: (Love Story)

Shortly after the sun set, an orange-red sunset burned in the western sky.

The sea is also dyed red by the glow, but it is more spectacular than the sky. Because it is active, whenever the rows of waves rise, the glow reflected on the crests of the waves is red and bright, like a burning flame, flickering, rolling, and disappearing. And the row behind it, flickering and rolling again......

The tide is coming, the surging tide, the back waves push the front waves, and rows of tides dozens of feet high rush over, the sound is like thunder, and the momentum is like ten thousand horses galloping.

The sea suddenly turned into an endless battlefield, the sea breeze blew a sharp "horn", and the waves seemed to be a thousand heroic warriors, fiercely attacking the ships, rumbling and shouting. The crumbling pirate ship, as long as it is gently swept by the tide, seems to sink to the bottom of the sea all at once.

Alleyne stood on the ship's floor, the sea breeze on his face, cool, wet, and he took a deep breath, salty, fishy, and a little bitter.

The choking in the sea tastes the pain, the sea breeze inhaled by the sea, and the sea blowing on the surface makes Ellen feel a different taste.

Dark clouds swept through the gray sky, and several dazzling beams of light sped through the gaps, and thunderous sounds rang out. The howling sea breeze blew against the huge hull, and the flag of a spear mercenary regiment hoisted on the top of the sail was blown by the sea breeze.

The raindrops falling from the dark clouds that covered the sky grew bigger and faster, and the raindrops fell on the surface of the sea and splashed one after another.

The sea was even more windy, and the howling storm crashed against the pirate ships floating on the sea, and the big ships swayed on the rough sea, as if they could be swallowed up by the waves at any moment.

It was raining, and Alleyne hid in the cabin.

At this moment, the horse thief is telling everyone a tragic story about love in the huge cabin:

......

Again, he thought to himself, "What is it for?" He rolled over and began tossing and turning. What is hiding from me?

Why don't you want to turn your back on me? Even in bed, I agree with the idea that husband and wife must have their own secrets, but for what? Thinking of this, he pounded the wall in annoyance, could it be that she was unfaithful to me?

He turned his head and scrutinized the calm, sleeping face. Who knows how much hypocrisy is hidden under this beautiful face?

I've got to find out the truth!" he thought.

"Honey," he smiled, showing her the bottle in his hand. "Doruboye has sent another spice, which is said to be the most fragrant on our continent of Calradia, and I will go and fill the bathtub now, my dear. ”

"He's there!" she cried out in her muffled voice, biting her comb as she tied her ponytail, "don't forget to return the favor!

"Maybe he's really likable!" he replied categorically, clenching the bottle in his hand.

"The bath water is ready, my dear, let's wash it together?" he forced a smile. "You must know that the recent battle of Lu Dao has made me very tired, I curse this unlucky war, go home early and see your smile, is the only purpose of my life, don't refuse my poor husband, you must know that Lu Dao, I can only find warmth when I kiss your white neck, you are everything to me!"

"You know, my dear, I never bathe with anyone else, it's been a habit for years," her tone was a little unnatural, "Okay, okay, my little poor boy will give you more honey to taste"

She turned around and grabbed his shoulders and rubbed her nose against his cheek as she snatched the bottle from his hand and mischievously jumped away from his hug.

"Remember to return the salute, my dear, it's a time of war, and there's no white pie in the sky, and the Earl is planning something, and we don't know what Lu Dao" She sniffed the spices in her hand, and was as happy as a child. "In terms of etiquette, we can't lose first. ”

Perhaps! He stared at her cheerful back, pressing his trembling hand to the hilt of his sword. She must have betrayed me!

Terrible news came from the city that the plague was spreading.

The symptoms first manifested themselves in the people who returned from the battlefield, first they had a fever, then they felt thirsty, "there was a fire burning in their stomachs and they had to drink water", and then they were delirious looking for water to drink. They crave water, and as long as they are alive, they will drink it without stopping, even until their own stomachs are distended, and they will drink it all the time.

If they are not given water to drink, the strong-willed warriors who are devastated by this sickness will wail and cry bitterly, and even Satan will have to sympathize with his family and tie them up, and they will look for water everywhere, and those noble warriors who worship chivalry will hide from each other, deceive each other, and even kill each other for water, and water is their only need

Their bodies fell everywhere beside the wells and streams, and some died directly in the water, and this terrible plague spread throughout the city

It was rumored that the castle had been cursed by a witch.

"Ever since you got married, there has been a plague in the city! You have been seen running into the garden at night and placing a pentagram with stones! It is exactly the same symbol as the pentagram under the Viscount's bed! You are a spy sent by the Kingdom of Virginia!" the priest said impassionedly, and his saliva spread. "You witch, you want to curse our master! What else do you have to say!"

"Burn her, witch!" the crowd erupted in a wild cry. "Chop off her head! Send her back to Virginia! Let them see what happens to the Spy!"

Sitting on the judgment seat, he watched the priest's performance gloomily, his hands folded together, and there was no trace of the wedding ring on his ring finger.

"Give her a chance to plead. After all, she is my wife. His gaze drifted to her and added. "Former wife. ”

She was still smiling as always, without the slightest fear in her eyes.

"Honey, will you believe such a lie? This trial is a conspiracy, someone is framing me, tell me, you believe me. She looked him in the eye.

The priest looked at him.

He stared at the wedding ring in her hand, and suddenly remembered the sentence "This cute little old man", and his heart couldn't help but sink.

"Lady Derina, remember, you are under God's judgment. He replied coldly, watching her flickering eyes dim, and a rush of revenge sparked in his heart.

"If you're not a witch, please show proof. He looked at the priest.

"The pentagram was planted by you, and someone saw it with their own eyes. The priest nodded respectfully, turned and asked aloud. "Do you dare to deny it?"

"I did it, I don't deny it," tears rolled down her cheeks, she lowered her head, and then jerked herself up. "But I'm for you!" she looked at him, and forced herself to cry.

"Witch, witch, burn her!" began to shout again, and the crowd was excited.

Looking at her tearful face, he couldn't help but think of her mischievousness, her smile, her gentleness and he was a little shaken

But now he gritted his teeth and nodded to the priest.

"Witches are cut by God, and if you are a witch, God will put the mark of Judas on your back, will you prove your innocence to God's people?" the priest kept watching the viscount's expression for fear of making a mistake.

Her face changed drastically, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

"Please, for the sake of husband and wife, don't do this," she grabbed the railing in front of her and pasted it, "Honey, you can't, no, I'd rather die!" she jerked her arms out of the railing, as if to hug him, who was close at hand, "Please, dear, you must not do this for your sake."

"Fulfill her wishes. He spat out the words fiercely.

The crowd erupted in cheers.

She looked at his familiar and cold face, lowered her arms, and in the Viscount's eyes, she read his despair and ruthlessness towards her.

She covered her face helplessly and began to cry bitterly.

Night, in the Viscount's room.

"My lord, this is the skin she peeled off before she died, and even though she was mad about it, the five of us held down this crazy. "An executioner with an eyepatch knelt on the ground, and on his hand was clearly a human skin.

"You can step down. The Viscount threw him a bag of silver coins.

Holding the human skin in his hand, he recognized the familiar pattern, and he began to tremble, wee, and then laugh loudly, accompanied by a burst of inhuman wails from his mouth, and the viscount went mad.

......

"And then?" said Alleyne, as he quickly swallowed the beef in his mouth, "what the hell is going on?

Alleyne covered his cheek and accidentally bit himself

"Later, no one has ever seen the viscount again, and I guess he may have committed suicide. The horse thief continued to tell his story.

"The pattern that the viscount saw was the mark he had given to his slaves when he was young. Jamila added, "His wife, who was actually a slave bought by Doruboye, was given to Count Rodra as an adopted daughter, and then married to the viscount as a victim of a political marriage." ”

"What's the matter with the pentagram? she's cursing her husband, isn't she? for the brand?" said Alleyne, a little confused.

"In Virginia's culture, the pentagram symbolizes the exorcism and purification. The old man taught him another lesson, "I believe she carved it to save her husband from the plague." ”

"That Doruboye often gave her things so that she wouldn't tell her about the past?" said Alleyne, grabbing Victor's words, and asked the horse thief. "It doesn't make sense, why didn't she say it, or simply show the viscount her mark, so that she didn't have to die?"

"You have to know that Lu Dao, a weak woman in troubled times, all she hopes for is someone to rely on. The horse thief's tone became serious, "What would her husband think if he found out that he was married to a slave?

"Mother's house. Momocha put quotation marks around the word with an exaggerated gesture. "Know that even if the union of a nobleman and a slave is accepted by the world, her husband will be disgraced and his family will decay because of it."

"So you men don't have a good thing!" Jamila interjected, snatching the leg from the thief's hand and shoving it into her mouth.

And the person she relied on and the life she was looking forward to will disappear, and I guess she will be even more desperate. The horse thief looked at his shiny hands and shrugged helplessly. "This story has been widely circulated on the continent of Calradia, and it's strange that you don't know it. ”

Alleyne scratched his head, "You know, the number of times a mercenary can go to the tavern depends on the number of dinars in the money bag."

The horse thief and Jamila glared at him with disdain almost at the same time.

Alleyne glared at the old man disgruntled, but Victor pretended not to see, the damn stingy man

Perhaps, she was afraid that her husband would regret his youthful frivolity when he learned the truth, that he would feel sad and blamed for having hurt his wife, and that she did not want to see him grieve for her. Alleyne thinks so.

"But he ended up framing and killing his wife out of unwarranted jealousy, didn't he?" Jamila retorted, "The only person she could rely on betrayed her trust, betrayed her, and even sent her to the judgment seat with her own hands, do you know how sad she would be?"

"Maybe I can better appreciate her persistence. She would rather die than see her husband as a symbol of her slave, and she gave up her life to protect the equality of love," Mathilde stood up from the side and walked away. "Do you need dignity in the face of love?"

They looked at each other. Do you need it? Don't you need it?......
