Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Garden of Tranquility

The golden sunflowers in the quiet garden are quietly blooming, high and low, and the breeze blows through, and the erected branches pull the corolla and gently shake it, sending wisps of fragrance, like the beautiful music coming from the banquet hall.

Victoria paced back and forth on the trail restlessly, Sister Elizabeth was delayed by something, why didn't she come over?

There seemed to be some small animal crawling in the grass next to her, so she impatiently picked up a stone and threw it over, and the stone fell into the grass with a pop.

"That's not a lady's demeanor. ”

A deep voice made Victoria shudder, and then she realized that a bearded man in his forties had come behind her.

"Uncle Grahyd!"

Victoria exclaimed in surprise.

Knight of Scepter Grahide, the head of the Seven Knights of the Order and the eldest of the Seven, is also the swordsmanship instructor of the royal family.

Grahide covered half of Victoria's head with one big hand, stroked her long white hair lovingly, and smiled, "My little princess, what has made you angry?"

Victoria was speechless for a moment of excitement, she hadn't seen this uncle in four years.

The Seven Knights of the Order of Light of the Empire, led by Glarhead, the Knight of the Scepter, followed by Uther, the Night Knight, the Crown Knight RombidΓ³, the Adam Knight of Adam, the Mithril Knight Daknis, the Bronze Knight Addams, and the Black Iron Knight Gareth. He is also the mentor of the Crown Knight Lombido and the Bronze Horseman Adams, the revered knight and the hidden sword saint Quirrell, known as the Martial Saint Twin Stars, representing the pinnacle of the Empire's warriors.

Grahead laughed and took back the big hand that was on Victoria's head, "Has anyone bullied my little princess? ”

Victoria shook her head, and while everyone called herself a saint, only Grahide insisted on calling herself a little princess: "No, I'm waiting for my sister." ”

Glahide stroked his beard: "Elizabeth, she's engaged to Adams tonight, probably busy dealing with that stinky boy." ”

"Teacher, why are you here?" asked Victoria.

"My disciple is engaged, how can I be absent. Speaking of which, if I'm not mistaken, you can't leave the church right now, and you're sneaking out to trick or treat again. ”

"I'm not out to make trouble. Victoria quickly defended herself: "Today is a very important day for my sister, how can I miss it, I also prepared a birthday gift for my sister." β€œ

Grahide waved his hand and said, "Alright, then I'll go over there and call Elizabeth, and when you see her, go back to church." ”

Victoria shook her head and said, "I've asked Daknis to help me tell you, my sister may have been delayed by other things." ”

"Well, I'll go to the banquet and have a look. Grahyde nodded.

"Teacher, I haven't seen you for so long, where have you been?"

"Your Majesty asked me to take command of the Imperial Guards, and I am now the commander of the Imperial Guards, and I can't just leave the barracks. You remember to go back early, those guys from the Holy See of Light like to hold on to these inconsequential things. ”

Gherhead said as he walked, and in a moment he was gone.

Victoria continued to wait for her sister.

On another path in the corner of the Tranquil Garden, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Pampas, carries a woman in a low-cut gown among the hidden flowers.

"Don't ...... Do you think there's enough time, my lord?" the woman said in a greasy voice.

"We have a long time. The pampas seemed impatient, and his fingers groped back and forth over the woman's body, causing the woman to let out heavy breathing and fall into a state of confusion.

A golden sunflower was plucked and inserted into the woman's deep breast, and the white and tender skin of the night gave off an alluring fragrance.

The pampas's fat short fingers that shuttled through the countless gold coins swam flexibly, the dark fragrance floated, and the lingering aroma had a slight aphrodisiac connotation, this veteran of the party could easily arouse the desires of women, and the joy of the flesh was always so simple and rough.

"You are the pearl of heaven falling into the world, you are like a white dove flying and staggering in a flock of crows, I will embrace you and follow you. Flowers are a rare mattress in the world, and the night becomes a natural black curtain, please open your arms and enjoy this sweet spring of inspiration. β€œ

This line from Soffobia's classic three-act play, "The Children of the Earl of Keane," is whispered like a spell by the Pampas, and the woman's misty eyes and flushed cheeks all show that she is drunk with the adult's flirtation.

Pampas gently moved her towering breasts to the snow-white neck in her hand, rubbing it back and forth on the soft neck skin, and with a sudden force, the woman instantly woke up from her desire, her eyes widened, and her mouth was suffocated wide open, but she couldn't make any sound. Her body writhed a few times, and her breathing slowly stopped, and after a while, she suffocated and passed out.

The pampas smiled and took out a handkerchief from his bosom and wiped his hands.

"To die or to sleep? When we are freed from this skin of death, what dreams will come in the eternal sleep of death? It makes us hesitate and make us willingly endure the calamities of many years, otherwise who will tolerate all kinds of human suffering, such as the government of tyrants, the pride of the arrogant, the pain of broken love, the slowness of the law, the insult of corrupt officials, or the humiliation of the mediocrity, who can simply cut it away?"

Emperor Guangming's favorite play, a widely circulated line from "The Lament of the World".

"When are you going to clean up without me? A black figure slowly walked out of the golden sunflower bush.

"Reason makes us cowards, and scruples overshadow our brilliant will. Pampas took the golden sunflower out of the woman's breast and put it under her nose and sniffed it.

"Sin, how are things going?" asked the Shadow.

"The little girl's side is going well, and the things are in hand. The old guy didn't move for two months, and the next thing was to wait for the magic envoy to come. ”

"Be careful in the future, I won't spare you if you do this kind of thing again. ”

"Hehe, don't worry, I'm measured, this woman is just a cloth merchant's wife, a greedy and vain woman, and she will wake up in half an hour. ”

"Whoever she is, take away your mind to play with women, now is not the time for you to have fun. The shadow's voice was tinged with anger.

"Yes, yes, since you said so. Pampas nodded nonchalantly.

"Give me that thing. ”

Pampas pulled a tightly wrapped cloth bag from his bosom and threw it at the shadow.

"Dagger of Dark Judgment. Pampas smacked his lips, "I still don't understand why it was so easy to get hold of the Burning Tower." The horns are also our people?"

"You don't need to ask about that, at least he's not our enemy at the moment. ”

Pampas nodded.

"Before the magic envoy arrives, finish the little girl's business, old fellow, I'll keep an eye on it. ”

"It's easy on the little girl's side, her maid is now in our pocket. ”

"Someone will come to the heretic side in two days, and Tess will tell you how to contact her, and go to the Castle of Beauty in three days to find her. β€œ

"You're sure you're going to work with heretics, a rabble who don't even believe in goddesses. ”

The black shadow was silent for a while: "As long as they have the power to help us, then I will not be stingy to give them a little hope of survival." ”

"As long as you're sure you can control them. The Pampas shrugged.

"For this overly bright world, darkness must be used to keep them awake at all times. ”

"We have different reasons, but we want the same result. That's all I want...... "Pampas crushed the golden sunflower in his hand.

The dark shadow was silent.

The black shadow turned away, walked a short distance and turned back and said, "Sin, be careful, I always feel that something is going to happen recently." ”

Pampas nodded, watching the shadow go away like an old friend.

Looking at the woman on the ground again, the smile on his lips was even stronger.

"It was a great night. ”
