【Wandering】Section 1 Regulus
If the obsession with Koyales is a curse, then Regulus, who is now running to the Pearl Courtyard twice in three days, has fallen into a new curse. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Since being scolded by Luna for not having enough money on her that day, Regulus has brought enough gold coins for days on end, hoping to hear more stories about her from her mouth, but no matter how much Regulus asks, she is reluctant to say anything about the scar on her face.
In the past few days, the old bustard of the Pearl Courtyard saw that Regulus, who had a lot of money, always named and wanted to find the cheap and ugly Luna, and she gradually increased the price of Luna, after all, only Regulus would spend a lot of money to buy her kind of low-level bewitcher, when Regulus came for the fifth time, Luna's price had risen to four gold bars at a time, and this was enough for the entire Pearl Courtyard to come to serve Regulus several times. After the bustard was satisfied with the four gold bars that Regulus had handed over without hesitation, Regulus went upstairs and heard her whisper, "What a brainless money jar!" But Regulus didn't care if he was making a loss-making deal, he didn't care about the wealth that the kingdom had given him after the war, he just wanted to get to know the girl named Luna so that he didn't feel empty and confused.
Through the conversation in the previous days, Regulus learned that Luna was not from Vasilian, she had come to Vasilian from St. Lucas when she was eight years old, and was sold to the Pearl House at the age of ten, and she did not tell him about her experience. Regulus also learns that Luna has been abused in various ways in the Pearl Courtyard, and is discriminated against because of her appearance, after all, Mir still eats largely on her face. Coupled with her elf-like ears, she was beaten by many of her guests - because the humans who had been oppressed by the elves had a deep-seated hatred for the elves, and they took all the sins of their ancestors on the elves on Luna.
Regulus walked slowly upstairs, knowing that Luna was already waiting for him in the largest room, but he was still thinking about what kind of questions to ask today. After hearing the story of her mistreatment the day before, he felt a little unbearable, and did not want her to recall the unhappy things again, and although she was satisfied when she accepted the gold coins offered by Regulus, Regulus believed that there must be a sadness behind her love of money that he did not know.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then pushed the door open, catching an impatient look at Luna sitting on the bed waiting for him. Luna was wearing more clothes than she had seen before, a leather jacket draped over her shoulders, and of course this was also arranged by Regulus, who had given the bustard some extra money last time to buy her some clothes for Luna, and asked him to see it the next time he came.
"First of all, 'thank you' for letting my mother buy me the clothes!" Luna deliberately accentuated the tone of the word thank you, which seemed full of disdainful irony, she crossed her legs on the edge of the bed, put her hands on her legs, tilted her head to look at Regulus who had just entered the door, and asked, "What story do you want to hear today, you who spent so much money to listen to the story in the Pearl Courtyard are the first I have seen in so many years here!"
"Still don't want to tell me about your scars?" asked Regulus tentatively.
"Needless to say, and I said you had to give me money once you asked this question, so take it now!" she said, and spread her palm to Regulus, who playfully took ten gold coins from his pocket and put them in the palm of her hand, and she took them and put them into the inside pocket of her clothes, and the gold coins that had been given to her seemed to have been put away by her somewhere else, for when she stuffed them into her chest again this time, Regulus saw that the pocket was empty. Regulus also guessed that the bustard didn't know about the extra gold he gave Luna, and he couldn't let the bustard know, otherwise Luna would be beaten up again as she said yesterday.
"Can you tell me about your parents, you said before that your last name is after your mother's surname, but you never said who your mother and father were, and why did you come here from St. Lucas?"
"I didn't say it because I didn't want to. Luna replied dryly.
"I'll tell you the truth, I don't know who my parents are, and I seem to have lost all memories of them, even though those parents are nothing compared to who I really am......" Regulus tried to get closer to Luna through a similar experience.
"What have you been through and what does your true identity have to do with me? I'm only interested in the money in your pocket!" Luna stopped crossing her legs and propped her hands on the edge of the bed, causing the leather jacket on her shoulders to slip off her shoulders and reveal her shoulders.
"Why on earth do you like money so much?" asked Regulus, trying not to look at her scented shoulders, looking down.
"Joke, who doesn't like money but you idiot with a brain in water?" Luna suddenly stood up from the bed, she walked over to Regulus, pressed her body against Regulus's chest, and said in that professional provocative tone, "Since you are so interested in me, then help me redeem yourself!"
"Redemption?"
"I told you yesterday about the inhuman treatment I've been subjected to here, and since you want to hear stories so much, can't you take me away? Luna began to look up at Regulus with a pitiful look, tears rolling in her eyes, and it was the same two people who had confronted Regulus before. Regulus believed that she was pretending to be now, but he also believed that the stories he heard yesterday were also true, in fact, before he came today, he also wondered if he could take Luna away from this kind of hell, but that would have to be done willingly, and now that Luna had made this request, he also made up his mind.
"Are you really willing to come with me?" asked Regulus, "don't you hate men the most, and don't you feel uncomfortable with me?"
"It's better to follow you than to be abused by those beasts...... Luna showed a reluctant expression for a moment, and she began to put her arms around Regulus's waist, "Please, take me away, I have begged a few guests before to let them ransom me and take me away, but they either refuse or don't have enough money, I'm sure you won't be so ruthless, right?"
"You let go first, we have to make an agreement first. Regulus broke free of Luna, took a few steps back, and continued: "You are mine after I help you redeem you, you must follow me, you cannot act alone without my permission, you must not try to escape, you must try to cooperate with me when I ask you questions, if you really don't want to answer, you must explain the reason, and besides, you are not allowed to show people in the image of Confusing!"
"If I promise this, will you really redeem me?"
"I do what I say!"
"Okay......" Luna nodded reluctantly.
"Then let's talk about it, I'll go find the bustard. Regulus turned and walked out the door, and halfway through he turned back and pointed to the leather jacket on the bed, and said to Luna, who was just about to keep up with him, "Put that dress on, you are no longer a fool, and dress and behave properly!"
Luna seemed reluctant to follow Regulus's instructions, but now that her fate was in his hands, she had no choice but to dress up and walk out of the room.
Regulus, who had come down from the stairs, walked straight to the bustard, who was sitting behind the bar at the bottom of the stairs, still covered in jewelry as when Regulus first saw her, and Regulus noticed that she seemed to have several more noble gemstone rings and bracelets on her hand than before, which she believed had been newly purchased during this time.
"Yo, uncle, why did you come out so quickly?, do you want any other services?, Luna must have treated you well!" she smiled a fake smile.
"I'm going to ransom Luna. Regulus said bluntly, noticing the smile on her face froze and the corners of her mouth twitched, before she cleared her throat dryly.
"You're going to ransom her?" she said, looking at the frightened Luna who was coming down the stairs after Regulus, "Did I hear me right?"
"That's right, no matter how much money it costs, you just ask, I'm going to take her out of here!"
"Little brother, you've been deceived by that girl too!" the old bustard glared at Luna on the stairs, so frightened that she suddenly shuddered on the stairs and almost fell down.
"Tricked? What do you mean by that?"
"Do you think you're the first person to offer me to ransom Luna? Several of the guests before were flamboyant with her, and they thought she was in love with herself, and she thought that she would be with her for the rest of her life, but in fact she only used you as a tool to use!"
"I don't care if she has a crush on me, or what she's for, I just know that you're more of a tool than she treats me the way she treats me!" Regulus heard Luna hit the railing behind him as he said this, and he looked back to see Luna's wide-eyed face in surprise.
"You're determined to ransome her, aren't you?" the bustard frowned, and his tone became tougher.
"That's right!"
"Do you know why, in the ten years that Luna has been with me, there have been many attempts to take her away, but none of them have done so?" she asked, tilting her head back at Regulus, the jewels around her neck weighing her down a little, and it seemed that it had taken a lot of effort to keep her head up.
"Why?" Regulus asked, as Luna was already behind him, and she didn't dare to meet the bustard's eyes, so she hid behind Regulus and asked Regulus to negotiate with her.
"Because I never wanted to let her go!" said the bustard, propping his hands on the bar table, straightening his neck, and walking over Regulus to Luna behind him, "The world comes to me for a moment's pleasure, and they don't give anything for an ugly bewitcher, and most of them give up after some persuasion by me, and a few stubbornly give up when I ask for all his wealth." Now, if I told you that you would need all the wealth you have to redeem Luna, you wouldn't be able to do it for all your might, and you wouldn't be able to give up everything you want!" she smirked defiantly at Regulus.
"I do. Regulus gave this answer without thinking, much to the surprise of both the bustard and Luna behind him, who noticed that the bustard's face looked as if he had taken some poison, and he felt Luna's sudden grip on his sleeve.
"You...... You...... Are you having something wrong with your brain......" The old bustard pointed at Regulus with trembling fingers as if he felt that his worldview had collapsed, with a look of incomprehension.
"Maybe. Regulus laughed, "You have to do what you say, I'll give you all my wealth, and you let me take Luna!"
"What is the relationship between you and her, and why do you want to help her do this? Are you her relative?"
"No, I'm just a passerby, a passerby who is just as confused as she is. ”
So, the bustard sent someone to follow Regulus all the way to his house in the ghetto, and took away the gold, silver, and jewels piled up in the corner of the room to buy ten pearls, and Luna waited for Regulus's return in the pearl courtyard all this time. When Regulus and the jewel bearers returned with a large box full of jewels, the bustard's and Luna's eyes began to light up at the sight of the box full of gold.
"Is that all?" asked the bustard, pretending to be calm, "how do I know you don't have more jewels hidden somewhere else?"
"That's all, the reward I received from the kingdom after my return from Miller, the few remaining warriors each got about the same wealth, you can ask if you don't believe me. ”
"It turns out that you are a warrior who came back alive from Miller, no wonder you don't look like a rich kid but have so much money!" The old bustard picked up a pearl necklace from the box with her thumb and forefinger, she leaned in to look at it carefully, rubbed it with her hands, and then looked at the pearl necklace she was now wearing around her neck from the man she had taken from the man Regulus had seen a few days ago, and then she ripped off the necklace she was hanging, threw it aside, and hung the necklace she had taken out of the box around her neck," That's it, you can take her!" she tilted her head to Luna beside her, motioning for her to pass, she was too busy to inspect the jewels, but Luna was still drawn to the chest full of gold, and she hadn't come back to her senses.
"Luna, you're free!" Regulus tugged at Luna's sleeve and dragged her over, "I fulfilled my promise, and you need to remember our promise." ”
"Oh...... Wait for me to pack up my things...... Luna managed to take her eyes off the box of jewels and ran to the room on the first floor, where the bustard dropped her hand and looked at Regulus after Luna disappeared from their sight.
"Boy, a word of advice for you!" she said solemnly.
"What?"
"She's a cursed girl, you insist on taking her away today, I won't stop you, but you will definitely regret it!"
"Hahahaha, I don't care about curses for a long time, who knows what fate I'm trapped in?" Regulus laughed, not caring about the old bustard's serious warning, he had been under a curse for hundreds of years, would he care about one more person who was sympathetic, but he didn't ask Luna what the curse was, he felt that it would have to be judged by his own eyes later.
At this point, Luna also packed up her things and came out of it, and when she came out, she had a large burden on her shoulders, presumably stuffed with things, which contrasted sharply with her thin body. Regulus reached out to help her carry her luggage, but Luna refused, "Don't touch my things!"
"Luna, I've worked hard for you for the past ten years, and now you're free!" said the bustard's discerning kindness, which a discerning person could see at a glance was hypocritical.
"I have one last thing I want to tell you!" Luna said, leaning her face closer to the bustard, the large scar on her face was even more shocking at close range, making the bustard frown, "Die!!" Luna laughed and walked out of the gate of the Pearl Courtyard with Regulus, the sunlight outside the door reflected the backs of the two, one was strong but only had an iron sword in his hand, and the other was short but carrying a huge burden on his shoulders, and the two slowly disappeared into the white light, disappearing from the old bustard's field of vision. Regulus turned his head to look at Luna, who was smiling for the first time, and he knew that she would never set foot in the place where she had been imprisoned for ten years.
