Chapter 85: The Despicable
"Don't be so aggressive, Your Highness. We are all loyal subjects of Kislev, and I want to see this kingdom prosper, and I don't want to see this country sink in turmoil. From this point of view, we are on the same page. We are one type of people. β
"We're not the same kind of people. β
Dennis retorted.
"Whatever you think, there are some things that I can't explain to you for a while. The rise and fall of this kingdom is between you and me. β
Samiel said, taking a step closer and leaning against the desk in front of Dennis, staring at her with an extremely ambiguous look.
"Take a step to speak. β
He said.
"Jenny is my personal bodyguard, she's not an outsider. β
Dennis ignored him.
The afterglow of the candle elongated Sam'il's figure and cast it on the wall, like a rickety giant.
For a long time, the Grand Duke stopped speaking and did not say a word. Finally, Dennis, who couldn't help but be silent, asked the guards around him to avoid it first. The sword-wearing waitress glared at the thief-eyed Samiel and left the room without saying a word.
"Now, you can say it. β
Dennis spoke up.
"I have a suggestion, you and I join forces to prosper this kingdom together. Kislev needs a truly capable ruler to settle it and make it prosperous. β
"So, do you think this person should be you?"
Dennis didn't bother to listen to Sam Yir's nonsense and directly interrupted his hypocritical clichΓ©.
"No, no, no, it's us. β
The Grand Duke had a ghostly smile on his face.
"We?"
Dennis was a little puzzled, but the next moment he reacted immediately......
Hum......
She sneered contemptuously.
"Yes, you guessed that, didn't you? We joined forces and ran the country together. I know that Kislev's affairs are now actually in your hands, big and small. And the merchants, the aristocracy actually favored me. The marriage between you and me can stabilize Kislev for at least a hundred years. Of course, don't get me wrong, it's not a real marriage, it's just on the surface, I have my little lover, you have your Boris, we don't interfere with each other, we just need to play the relationship between husband and wife in a formal setting, you can rest assured, I will never ask about the affair between you and Boris, and I will not poke this secret out, this is a transaction......"
"Don't you feel ashamed, Duke Samiel, Pavel, no matter how bad he is, is also your own nephew. stabbing you in the back and taking your nephew and daughter-in-law as your wife, I'm afraid only you can say this kind of thing. β
Dennis wanted to get angry, but when the words came to his mouth, he just mocked with an unchanged face.
But Samiel did not show the slightest guilt for this. He just smiled and smiled again......
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, this is my kindness. You know, although Pavel likes to pick flowers and grass, he is still very concerned about his wife's chastity. β
Samiel's face darkened.
"You're threatening me?"
Dennis stared at him. But my heart was in great pain. She knew that her own handle was in the hands of others, and she had to pay for her impulses. And this price is extremely heavy.
"No, how could I threaten my future wife?"
Samiel smiled. Dennis was eager to slap him into an ice sculpture.
"Shut your stinky mouth, you make me feel sick. β
Dennis returned coldly, but the psychological defense line was crumbling little by little, and she didn't know how long she could hold on.
"So, don't you feel sick when you sleep with that boy?"
"Enough! Get out!"
The cold frost had submerged into the Grand Duke's body. Samiel only felt a shiver in his body and his lips turn purple.
"Alright, alright, I'll give you time to think about it. The Grand Duke struggled to get up, "But it won't be long. Before leaving, he left a sentence coldly. Denise was left alone in the empty room to grieve.
......
Pavel sat in an ivory chair encrusted with rubies, watching the ball with great interest. Slender dancers and court ladies danced on the red carpet, and the sound of singing, dancing, laughter, and banter filled the hall.
It was originally a place for him to work and handle official business, but now it has been transformed into a backyard-like existence. Occasional reading of official documents is also listless. Pavel prefers sensational poetry to those boring official documents. There is nothing more beautiful in the world than love between a man and a woman. This is a famous quote from Pavel...... Although it has never been rumored out of this palace. For when the voice reached Queen Dennis, it was stifled. Crazy words, this is what Queen Dennis said about Tsar Pavel. Again, these words never reached Pavel's ears.
At the ball, all kinds of food were served in turn, but Pavel admired tonight's guest, Villanell, more than the dancing girl and the food. Ever since he first saw the girl, Pavel had an itch in his heart. It's just that Dennis was more attracted to him at that time. And now, he has been married for several years, and he has lost interest in the person next to him. And Villanell, who was often haunted by the court and was close to Dennis, became a delicacy that Pavel thought about day and night.
He looked at her, at the side of her face, at her body. Obsessively watching, the fire is burning in the depths of desire. And tonight's prom is actually for her.
"Serve a drink to Miss Villanell. β
Pavel snapped his fingers, and the servants beside him hurriedly refilled Villanelle's wine. It was a high-strength vodka from the north. Even some men are more than capable of drinking, let alone a little woman like Villanell. But the Tsar's hospitality was difficult to resist, and Villanell could not refuse. She called for someone to inform Dennis to come and relieve herself, but the woman did not return.
The upbeat music of the ball continued, but Villanelle was a little drowsy. She felt dizzy, the vodka momentum came up, and her eyes were already blurry. And the body feels hot and restless. She tried to use spells to calm herself down, but her body didn't listen to her in this state.
No, ordinary drinks don't make you so weak. Could it be that someone was tampering with the wine? Villanelle seemed to realize something. But it was too late, and at the last glance, she only felt that the world was spinning, and Tsar Pavel was looking at her with a smile not far away......
