Chapter 40: Yvonne
Yvonne and her husband, the Marquis de Rocha, were like the nobles of high society, and their union was nothing more than a political marriage full of interests.
Yvonne's family hopes to rise to the power of the Marquis of Rocha and expand their own interests. The Marquis of Rocha, on the other hand, wanted to marry in the southern provinces...... Even the beautiful women who are famous throughout the Adritic Empire can not only satisfy his vanity, but also rely on Yvonne's beauty to enter the upper class and top social circles of the Dulong Imperial Capital, if you can meet the wives or ladies of some big people......... This kind of relationship between women is sometimes even more useful. There is no doubt that it will be of great help to his career.
Political marriages never consider whether they have feelings for each other. They regard this marriage more as an obligation and a task to complete, and as for how many lovers the man or the woman are looking for behind their backs, they will pretend not to see it. This is also the most common practice in high society, and no one will make a fuss.
There were many women outside the Marquis of Rocha, and Madame Yvonne knew about it, but she never asked. As for herself, she had never found a lover before [that person].
Although Yvonne was forced to submit to the will of her family and marry the Marquis of Rocha, who was nearly twenty years older than her, she did not resent, or even gave up on herself. During the years of marriage, she kept herself clean and won the respect of the Marquis of Rocha. At least in front of outsiders, the happy marriage of the marquis couple was even envied by many.
But just a few years ago, on behalf of her husband to attend the wedding anniversary celebration of Emperor Antony and his wife in the Dulong Imperial Capital, Madame Yvonne happened to see the leisurely walking figure through the open carriage window on the way. The ranger was handsome, calm, and had a hazy charm on his face, which made her heart beat faster and she couldn't help herself. I couldn't help but take the initiative to greet the ranger and invite him to board his carriage ......!
This ranger called Arragon was completely different from the others, he was neither dirty nor sloppy, nor did he lose his temper when he saw his beauty. Speak calmly. Funny, has a unique perspective on some issues, coupled with an angular handsome appearance, all make Yvonne hot......... They talked happily. It's been a long time...... Until some point, Yvonne didn't know why she was lying in Aragon's arms.
This was Yvonne's first lover and her last. As she was about to arrive in the royal capital of Duron, Aragorn's sudden farewell had left her heartbroken, and she found herself in love with this attractive man.
But to her surprise. In answering the Marquis's Mansion in Dulon's Imperial Capital, Yvonne was not sad for long, and Aragon, who had gone and returned, actually came to look for her again. Yvonne was happy at that moment like a girl in love for the first time...... Maybe it's really the first love.
She prepared fine food and wine for this man, luxurious clothes for him, and even thoughtfully prepared a bag of gold coins for him when he had to go out to run errands, in case he was embarrassed when he wanted to go out to play. In short, Yvonne had a firm thought in her heart...... She didn't want this man to leave her, and if she could, she would even be willing to keep Aragon for the rest of her life. Anyway, there are countless mistresses and lovers outside the Marquis of Rocha, and it is not too much for her to find one herself, right?
Just when Yvonne was looking forward to the future. The sudden civil strife in the imperial capital shattered all dreams, and while her float was still paraded on the avenue, it was rammed by a rebellious army, and the float was crushed, and all the drivers and maids on the cart were trampled or killed by the soldiers in the chaos, and she herself fell to the ground, broke her forehead, and passed out.
When Yvonne woke up again, she found herself back in the Marquis's Palace, lying on her familiar bed. What exactly happened in this process. She knew nothing, not even the servants and attendants in the mansion, how the Marquise had come back and how she had slept in her bed. It all seemed like a dream, and Yvonne subconsciously touched her forehead. There was supposed to be a broken wound there, but it magically disappeared, as if it had never been injured.
Yvonne remembered the man she was attached to, but never saw Aragon again, and the Ranger disappeared from her side again. For some reason, Yvonne always had a hunch...... It is likely that his own rescue had something to do with Aragorn. There must be some secret in that man with a deep eye and a strange charm.
Disappointed and saddened, Yvonne left the capital of Duron, which had been mired in civil strife, and returned to the southern provinces. She worked hard for a long time to slowly dilute her thoughts about Aragorn, but because of this, she didn't care about her husband even more, and even was full of disgust for Rocha, there was no normal married life between them. At the beginning, the Marquis of Rocha may have been very satisfied that his wife was not jealous, but with such a beautiful and mature woman by his side, you can't always go outside to find a woman, so when he repeatedly put forward the requests between husband and wife, but they were all refused, the Marquis of Rocha gradually began to be dissatisfied with his wife.
Two years later, just when the dissatisfaction and apathy between them were about to erupt, the demonic forces suddenly launched an invasion of the southern provinces. The southerners, who had not experienced war for nearly a thousand years and had long been pampered and did not know what war was, were not surprised to occupy the entire province with almost no resistance. Only those big nobles fled in advance when they saw that the situation was not good, so they did not fall into the hands of the demonic forces.
The Marquis of Rocha also fled into the neighboring province with his family and a large amount of treasure, but the army of the Scarlet Empire of Samoa did not stop there, and their elite cavalry scattered to capture the fleeing crowd. From time to time, the surrounding small castles were captured, and the small town where the Marquis of Rocha had settled was not spared. Although he escaped early again, this time he was not so lucky, just because he was reluctant to lose the heavy gold coins and jewels, so he dragged down the journey, and was eventually overtaken by a group of Samoan cavalry. In order to survive, the Marquis of Rocha showed his inferior nature, and he pushed his wife out without shame or shame, just begging for his own life.
Yvonne's face was as dead as she trembled, and she knew what fate awaited her. Because of her outstanding beauty, I don't know how many men covet her, but it is only with the power of the Marquis of Rocha that those men are restrained. But today it was her husband who pushed her out himself, and it was given to the soldiers of the horrible army of darkness............ Yvonne regretted that she didn't have a dagger by her side, so that she could kill herself without having to bear the ****.
No one would refuse such a seductive and beautiful young woman, and the Samoan cavalry all smiled wickedly. But just when the Marquis of Rocha thought that he could be released, the captain of the Samoan cavalry led by him sneered: "Your wife has been caught by us, do you think you still need your consent to deal with it......? And everyone around you will go back with me, and whoever dares to resist will be killed immediately. ”
Yvonne suddenly laughed, looking at her husband, who had just fallen from heaven to hell, with a sense of revenge. But she would not suffer the disgrace, and suddenly took a few steps back, and took advantage of Rocha's desperate distraction, and jerked out the short sword at his waist. The tip of the inverted sword stabbed into his heart.
It was too late for the Samoan cavalry captain on the opposite side to stop him, and his face was full of chagrin...... Such a beautiful woman he hasn't had time to enjoy ......!
Suddenly, there was a crunch, and the short sword stabbed into the heart flew out of Yvonne's hand and fell into the dust. A voice that could not be imagined in any way, but thought about it day and night, although still gentle, sounded in Yvonne's ears like thunder: "My beautiful Yvonne, what are you going to do here?"
Dressed in an ordinary gray robe, although his hair and eyes have changed, and now he has black hair and black eyes, his handsome face and voice are unforgettable. Baroque's figure came from a short distance abruptly, and beside him, a black eagle and a small silver wolf with wings were flying gracefully, as if no one was around.
"Ya...... Aragon, is that you, is it really you?" Yvonne's voice trembled, and she couldn't believe her eyes. Although Baroque had changed a lot, she recognized it at a glance as the man she had always dreamed of.
"It's me, and I'm glad you remember me, my beautiful Lady Yvonne. Baroque smiled softly and looked at Yvonne with pity in his eyes.
Yvonne let out an unconscious 'groan' in her mouth, and suddenly her body went limp. (To be continued.) )
