Beauty and the Beast (3)
Rarely, Aridia sat down at her sister's dressing table. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info she found the white foundation and slapped it on her face with a brush, and gradually, the ruddy face turned pale and looked tired and haggard.
Then, she took out the thing that painted the bags under her eyes and painted herself with thick dark circles. And the black vial, which Emilia said would relieve eye strain. Aredia mixed something into it without permission, so that it would make her eyes look red and swollen - just a little uncomfortable. She gave up her favorite rose perfume and borrowed her sister's jasmine, which gave her a little affinity.
It's good, it makes me look pitiful. She made a coquettish expression in the mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, and "giggled", which should win his sympathy. There are great men who want to meet her today, I don't know which bishop, but surely none of them can bear to blame a beautiful girl who is weak but tries her best.
Thinking of this, she began to think about whether to change into a lady's dress to make herself more suitable for the identity of "princess". She opened Emilia's closet, which was filled with bright and colorful clothes and dresses, and she began to admire that her sister always found different and beautiful combinations. She flipped through it, and there were velvet coats, lace collared shirts, delicate and comfortable leather waistcoats, and all kinds of skirts of various shapes. She took it and put it away, and finally gave up the idea of changing her clothes, which was too much trouble for her. Maybe next time I'll ask Emilia to teach me how to dress up?" she thought, and walked out of her sister's room, dressed in her usual black leather coat, her boots clattering.
The meeting was scheduled to take place in the cathedral, for which the vicinity of the church was deserted, and two guards in robes and halberds stood at the door. Can you really kill like this?" thought to herself, as she passed between the two, and suddenly a chill came over her, and she resisted the feeling of nausea in her heart, and looked at the face of the guard, who was pale and stared hollow, like a monster crawling out of the abyss.
She understood something, turned her head away, covered her mouth and hurried through, she pushed open the door of the church with one hand, thinking that the farther away from the two men was better.
A bunch of maniacs, propped up on the back of a bench, panting, trying to calm the tumbling heart.
"Oh, dear Aredia, it's good to see you. ”
She looked up and saw the back of a man in a robe. He turned around and walked slowly towards Aredia, who was wearing a hood that made it impossible for Aredia to see his face.
"Are you...... Which bishop?" Aridia asked cautiously, trying to calm her voice. She didn't know this person, she thought of the "guards" outside, and a sense of vigilance occupied her body and mind. As the man got closer, she leaned over and quietly reached for the dagger on her back.
"You really don't know me? princess of the Order. The man stood in front of her and asked in a hoarse male voice.
"I'm sorry for the short-sightedness...... "Iredia could smell the stench on him, just like the monster in front of the door. Killing him, Aredia is determined to show no mercy to the monster. She gently drew her dagger, and in the blink of an eye, she could slit his throat.
"If you can show me your face, then I might remember......" she said, leaning over to the other man, the sharp dagger hidden in her sleeve.
"Hey, really, you really don't know me?" the man's hoarse voice suddenly became young and energetic, and he decisively took off his hood, revealing a face that was all too familiar to Aredia.
"Macchias?oh, damn it, why are you pretending to be like this? I almost ......," she said, remembering the dagger in her hand. "I almost didn't recognize you. ”
"Hehe, I didn't expect that, Iredia. But that's not a disguise. A smug smile appeared at the corners of his pale mouth, and his thick eyebrows furrowed upward. "I'm a real bishop, and even though I'm only helping the archbishop with some ordinary matters, this garment is really genuine. He showed her the dark gold trim on the sleeve, a sign only for bishops.
"Okay, okay, congratulations. Aredia sighed and quietly tucked the dagger back into her waist. She leaned in and gave the deceased a hug, "It's good to see you." ”
"Me too, I said it at the beginning. Macchias smacked his lips and said, "The archbishop asked me to inquire about the progress of your work. Anyway, are you okay? His face was pale, and he had so many dark circles under his eyes. Anyway, you actually used a jasmine perfume, I thought you wouldn't use such a tender thing...... Or do you know I'm coming today to dress up for me?"
Well, that's half right.
"Well, don't care what I am, at least I'm a normal person. It's you, Macchias. Aredia narrowed her snake-like eyes and looked at the man in front of her, "How did you become like this?"
"What do you mean, Iredia, and I'm so handsome?"
"Don't be foolish, Macchias. Otherwise, I'll cut off your head. She pulled out her dagger again, and pointed it down to Macchias's neck, "You have a monster stench from you. What did you do?"
"Okay, I say, I say. He raised his hands in surrender, "Of course, accepting the gift of the god of the white mist." ”
"You choose to become a monster?" she sharded, the dagger cutting a bloody gash into her pale skin.
"You and I are monsters, Iredia. ”
"Don't play word games with me, you know what I mean. You took the initiative to let the white mist take over most of your body, turning into this ghost. Who knows how long it will be before you become those monsters?And the two guards at the gate, how dare you bring two beasts to my territory?Who gave you the guts, Macias??What do you want to do?" Aredia said viciously, her eyes glistening with anger.
"Lay down your dagger, dear Iredia. Macchias squeezed Eredia's hand holding the dagger and pushed it away, "What do I want to do? He leaned over to Aredia's face, his voice trembling with excitement, "I've always been a fart kid who can't do anything in your eyes. We entered the Order at the same time, childhood sweethearts, but nothing compares to you. You've won a series of battles and become an admired princess, and I'm still standing still. I confess to you, you refuse, although it is inappropriate to say that it is inappropriate, but don't think that I can't see it, your eyes are full of contempt. You look down on me, Iredia, and think I'm worthless. ”
"You're thinking too much, Macchias. Aridia shook off his arm and said coldly.
"Oh, yes? Forget it, it doesn't matter. He opened his hands, trying to get the other person to take a good look at himself. "The important thing is that I gained new strength. The god of the white mist has given me powers you never thought possible, and the archbishop has recognized my courage and kept me by his side. Things are really going for the better, aren't they?" he smirked, "and sooner or later, you'll be fascinated by me, I promise." ”
"Impossible, Macchias. I'm not going to be fascinated by anyone, let alone a monster. A vicious smile tugged at the corners of her lips as she looked sympathetically at the madman in front of her. You're crazy, Macchias. It's not my cute playmate anymore.
"It's funny that you call me a monster, Iredia. Compared to your sister, I still seem to be a normal person......" A white mist drifted by, and before he could finish speaking, he felt a cold dagger against his back.
"If it were anyone else, the dagger would have been stabbed down. Aredia covered his mouth and poked his cumbersome robe with a dagger. "Macias, I read that you are a childhood friend, spare your life, just because you don't know the rules. So, you have to listen to what I'm going to say, lest you not know why you died next time: don't insult my sister, and don't think about what you do to her. Otherwise, no matter where you flee, this dagger will stab you in the heart with precision. Not even the archbishop and the god of the white mist can save you. As for what I think, I'll do whatever you want. But I still advise you not to worry about useless hearts, and take good care of your body, which is the most important thing. I don't want to kill you because you turned into a monster. ”
Marchias whimpered and nodded, and Iredia could feel him sweat coldly.
"Very good, really obedient. She withdrew her dagger and let go of the terrified Macchias, who was holding on to a chair and panting.
"After all these years, you're still so arrogant. He wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said with a palpitation.
"I'm glad you remembered my horror, Macchias. Aridia said, walking out the door. "Help me tell the archbishop that everything is going well on my side. I'll hand you the report tomorrow, and until then, you can just find a place to rest. She pushed open the door, purple light shining on her face, "Also, take your guards away, no matter what means, I don't want to see them on my turf again." Otherwise, I slaughtered these two monsters myself. ”
"Yes, my lady. Machias regained his composure, bowed deeply, and wore an uncomfortable smile on his face.
Disgusting monsters. Aredia rolled her eyes, slammed the door shut, and strode to meet another troublesome figure. I hope you can save me peace of mind, Sun Knight.
