"Looking at the many figures in history, as well as the current state of the world today, we can easily come to the conclusion that even a person who is recognized by everyone as having a noble character and personality, and who has always been respected by the people who know him, often does something not noble and criticizes for one reason or another. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and often because of these characters do such things, it leads to some irreparable major disasters, and may even affect the progress of the wheel of history. Of course, we can't compare them to the people who threw a cigarette butt and started the forest fire, and if we had to make a similar comparison, we can only say that they are as responsible as the cigarette seller for causing the forest fire. - History of the Continent of Yartikat

"Hopefully I didn't disturb your rest."

"Not at all, please come in, you keep standing outside like this, the neighbors will say I won't entertain guests." Eugaris humbled her knees and let the future in.

"Then I'll bother." The visitor walked into the house unceremoniously.

Eugaris put away her coat for the visitor and invited him into the back room to sit, which she had to do by herself in Rose's absence. When all else was at a standstill, she sat down stiffly across from the other.

"Miss Eugaris."

"Yes!" Eugaris looked nervous.

"We should all be familiar with each other, so we don't need to introduce each other."

"Yes, Your Excellency Admiral Wing Mnast." Eugaris struggled to spit out the words, "Mazarel is not with me. ”

"I know, I sent him to Parello." Gursi said.

"You deliberately wanted to break him off?"

"Yes, I need to talk to you alone," Gulsi paused, "undisturbed by outside factors. Listen to me—miss, my eldest son is about to be discredited and ruined for your sake. ”

"Your Excellency, you are mistaken. I've decided that I'm no longer flattering people for the sake of life, and I'm not going to accept any gifts from Mazarre, and no one in Caiunescu's social circles will ever talk about me again. ”

"That is to say, because all you know of your past debauchery; That is to say, my son has renounced the honor of the Falency and squandered with you the money you had taken from others? Gulsi scoffed.

"Your Excellency, please forgive me; First, because I am a woman, and secondly, because I am in my home, these two reasons are on my side, so please be polite to me and be courteous as a guest. The tone in which you speak to me is not like that of an upper-class man who has some affinity with me, so ......" Eugaris was a little annoyed, and if it weren't for Matharel, she probably wouldn't have spoken so modestly.

"So what?" Gursi was amazed that the woman in front of him dared to contradict him.

"So allow me to be out of company, it's good for me and better for you."

"Yes, hearing your words and seeing your attitude, it's hard to say that these words are borrowed from others, and this attitude is deliberately pretended. I've been told you're a dangerous person. Gursi was not welcome.

"Yes, Your Excellency, I am dangerous; But it's only dangerous to myself, not to others. ”

"Danger or not, miss, Mazarel is going bankrupt for you, and it can't be fake."

"I say to you again, Your Excellency, out of respect for Mazarel's father, I repeat, you are mistaken."

"What, then, is this letter written to me by the trustor of our family who manages our property in other provinces? He informed me that Masaler was going to either sell his meager estate or transfer it to your name. ”

"I assure you that I am also to-day about his decision to sell a piece of his property - you learned not long before you arrived, that Mazarel told me that he wanted to use that land for a grove on the shores of Lake Nancival. As for the rest, I don't know. Even if Masalel did, he was hiding something from me; Because he knew very well that I would not accept such a sacrifice he had made for me. Eugaris replied solemnly.

"But, as I understand it, you don't always talk like that."

"Yes, Your Excellency. If I had been like a greedy beast, I would have swallowed this snack unceremoniously; But I wasn't in love with anyone at the time. ”

"And now?" Still in a mocking tone, Gursi asked.

"Now the gods have taken pity on me and have given me a chance to atone for my sins, and I am now loving someone with the purest affection that a woman can find in the depths of her heart." Eugaris said with a reverent expression.

"It's a nice thing to say." Gursi wasn't going to believe such words coming out of a dusty woman's mouth at all.

"Listen to me, Your Excellency...... I know it's hard for people to believe the vows of a woman like me. But I still swear to you, with what is most precious in this world, with my love for Mazarel, that I do not know that he did this. ”

"But, miss, what do you have to live on?"

"I didn't want to say it to you, but you are forcing me to say it now, sir; But because I valued Masalel's father's opinion of me very much, I will tell you. Ever since I knew your eldest son, I have sold or sold my jewelry, my overly luxurious clothes, and my carriage so that my love does not resemble for a moment what has happened to me in the past. Behold, there used to be a beautiful Pamis blanket at your feet; And the chair you sit in now, which was not such a bargain earlier; Behind you, there was a dresser that was twice as big as the one you have now. You also know the kind of scenery I used to have, and you don't have to be naïve to think that I have always been such a simple character. If you are in doubt about the quality of these furniture, then you can ask His Excellency Leus to verify it, I heard that his family has always been in the lumber business. Eugaris proudly answered Goursi's question.

Seeing Gursi silent, Eugaris felt that she had retained the tail of hope and that she needed to keep up the good work. So she continued: "Yes, I used to be a woman; Yes, I have an inglorious past. Ever since Mathera and I fell in love, I was willing to shed my last drop of blood in order not to disgrace his family crest. Alas, no matter what others say in front of you, I am still a man of conscience, and I desire a normal and bright life as much as anyone else; You'll see it when you get to know me...... It was Mathael who saved me - he loved me before and still loves me. You are his father, and you should be as kind as he is. I beg you, don't speak ill of me to him; He will believe in you because He loves you; And I, I respect you, and I love you because you are his father. ”

"I'm sorry, ma'am, I was too reckless. I didn't know you before, and therefore could not foresee all these noble qualities that I now find in you. I was very angry when I came. Mazarel had never been my favorite child, and when I heard that he was in such a bad situation, I was even more angry. I am anxious to make up for what I have missed from him by getting him out of this situation, and I blame you for it, ma'am. Gursi hung his head.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Excellency, you are such a reasonable man." Eugaris felt that she had succeeded.

"May I ask you one thing, then, ma'am? Do what you can do to prove your love for Masaler. Gursi changed the subject.

"No, please don't say that." Eugaris shuddered unconsciously, "I know that what you have asked me for is a terrible thing, although I have known that this day has come, but please don't say it." I'm happy now, and I don't have any extra extravagant hopes. ”

Ignoring her plea, Gorsey said in a solemn voice: "You know my daughter, Arudina, and my beloved second son, Arubelich. You may have heard that my children are about to get married. The people they chose were all innocent from their families, and they were all descendants of the Pharisen soldiers. Therefore, it is natural that they have the right to demand that the family background of the marriage partner be as innocent as theirs......"

"No, no—please don't say any more." Eugaris wept at her lover's father's feet.

Gulsi helped her in vain, and then continued: "No matter how pure you are in the eyes of Mazarel, and because of the affection you have just revealed, I also think that your love for Mathera is pure. But in the eyes of the rest of society, you are not pure, they will always see your past, and they will not hesitate to turn you away. My future in-laws have heard about this, they have believed all the rumors about you and Mazarel, and they have threatened to announce their divorce if Masalel does not give them a satisfactory account in the matter. Think about it, Arubelich you probably don't care; But think about Arudina, how much she loves her fiancé and how well she gets along with you. Do you really want to see the bright future she envisions and be buried by your own hands? ”

Eugaris sat limply on the ground. After a long time, she suddenly seemed to see another hope, eagerly grabbed Gursi's hand, knelt down in front of him, and said, "Yes, I understand your mind. What you said makes sense, I'm leaving Caiunescu, and I'm going to be separated from Mazarel for a while. The parting was painful, but I am willing to do it for you and Mazarel, so that you don't have any complaints about me...... And the joy of reunion after a long absence will make me forget the sadness of parting. You'll always allow him to write to me once in a while. Until your in-laws forget about it......"

Eugaris looked at Gursi sincerely, and there was probably no more innocent look in her eyes than at this time.

"Listen to me, son. We still do what needs to be done all at once; A temporary separation is not enough. Gursi ruthlessly shattered Eugaris's last illusions.

"You want me and Mazarel to be cut in two!?"

"It has to be done."

"This - absolutely impossible!" Eugaris was so excited that she stood up again, "Don't you know how much we love each other?" I have no friends, no parents, no family, don't you know? I have forgiven me in the past, Mathael has forgiven me, when he swore to me that he would take his place in all this, and I gave him my whole life, don't you know? Leaving Mazarel? You might as well kill me now. ”

"Alright, alright, be quiet. Don't overdo it...... You're still young, you're still beautiful, aren't you? The sacrifice I ask of you is very great, I know that, but you have to do it. Listen to me, you've only known Mazarel for three months, and you say you love him! But such a short period of love has no right to ruin a person's future. If you stay with him, your son's entire future will be ruined by you! Can you be sure that this love is eternal? Have you found out that you have been deceived? If one day you suddenly find out that you don't love my eldest son, will you love another person, then it will be too late. I beg your pardon, Miss Eucaris, but the past has given me the right to make these assumptions. ”

"This is impossible, Your Excellency, for I have never enjoyed the beauty of love as I do now. Mazarel was an opportunity I had so hard to grasp, and it was the gods who had taken pity on me, a woman who had been filthy. If I let go this time, God will never favor people like me like this again. ”

"Forget it," said Gursi, a little impatiently, "I am well aware of your acquaintance with my eldest son. On that day, your noble love was rejected by Lord Leus. Then, if you can't climb the high branches, you set your sights on Mathare, who has an uneven road, don't you? A young Farency officer, while not as good as the Prime Minister, is a good replacement, isn't it? ”

Eugaris took a few steps back in surprise, she shook her head in despair, "What a shameless slander, you, a powerful figure of high society. He deigned to use such absurd words to slander a poor and helpless woman, a woman who just wanted to pursue her own happiness. ”

"All right, ma'am. I've already said what I need to say, and it's impossible for Mazarel to stay with you anyway. Put away your tricks, you can find a lot of rich people in the provinces who are willing to marry you, don't you? Listen to me, get out of Caiunescu, maybe there's something else waiting for you somewhere else. Gursi said as he stood up.

"I'll take my leave, goodbye!"

"Goodbye! Hosting you is something I should regret. "Eugaris didn't want to be patient anymore.

After sending Gursi away, Eugaris's anger from despair disappeared immediately, along with her little energy. She sat back by the window, picked up the letter to Mazarel, and read it after another. Suddenly, she burst into hysterical laughter, a tearful laugh that slowly turned into a broken sob.

How ridiculous I was, Eugaris thought to herself, naively thinking that they would accept me, as I could tell from Thorgrande's attitude. It's ridiculous, the first time Sogrand hit my head and bleed. But I didn't repent, and I slammed into the cold, hard wall a second time. Hehe...... You really deserve it. But it doesn't end there, yes, it doesn't end there. I want revenge, revenge on this hypocritical country, these hypocritical people. Let you know that even those who are despised by you will make you pay enough price for the lowly goods in your eyes. Every tear of mine will be paid for by the blood of each of you.

O Mazarel, my love, it's not that I don't love you enough, it's not that you don't love me enough. If you want to be held accountable, blame the world's prejudices. It's finally time to wake up from my dreams and yours, and the gods have brought you into my world to destroy me. You are not my salvation, never will be.
