Chapter 134: Madame? Not right away
"Nothing to do with us?"
Lynn's eyes drooped slightly, and she didn't say anything more.
In the huge hall, there was no other sound because of his silence.
After a long time, Lynn slowly got up.
He rubbed his head, whispering as he eased the vertigo in his brain.
"Not so long ago, someone ....... Well, I don't know if they're human or not, anyway, I heard a story from there. ”
"The flapping wings of a butterfly may cause a tornado to rise across the continent across the ocean under the influence of various factors – they call this the butterfly effect."
"I find this story very interesting, especially in the interaction with people."
"Anything we do has the potential to affect the end result of something, and doing nothing is one of those options – and it's probably not a good choice."
"Although I don't know what the final outcome will look like if we don't deal with him, there is a way to imagine a possible ending."
"For example, the effects of what he was carrying eventually spread to most of the Catalena — not even half of the seats, just to get the attention of the people above."
"At that time, the price to pay to solve the problem must be extremely high, and we, as one of the parties involved, will never escape responsibility."
"What that guy left behind....... Is it so tricky? ”
The people on the other side of the shadows didn't seem to expect the consequences to be so serious, and there was a slight surprise in their voices.
"Tricky, very tricky." Lynn sighed slightly, "Maybe there are people who can resist the intrusion of desire, but once the seed is planted, it is difficult to pull it out. If you come into contact with something that stimulates desire, it will be out of control. ”
"Just like tobacco, many people may try it at the beginning under the guidance of others or their own curiosity, and once they come into contact with it, 99% of them may become addicted to it."
"And desire is something that is more addictive and more difficult to quit than tobacco."
"Because it does not act on the human body, but directly invades the human soul."
"If that's the case......"
The shadow was silent for a moment and said, "Then you can only ......."
"But then we have to pay a price, don't we?"
"This ......."
"Sure enough, as they say, if you don't agree to open the window, you will say tear down the wall, so that people will be willing to open the window."
"......." Shadow sighed and said, "Master Lynn, don't make fun of us. ”
"Do you think there's a better solution?"
"A better solution....... Lynn narrowed, "that guy, only gave us two options. ”
"Let him go, or wipe him out."
"Both of these will cost us something, it seems to be just a difference between more and less."
"It's a pity ........"
He looked at the stage in front of him and said softly.
"Who said that when I set up a stage, I have to stand up?"
"If you give two answers, do you have to choose between these two? This is not a pen paper. ”
Shadow was startled: "Then you ......."
Lynn smiled: "If you want to eradicate desire, except for letting him die, it is indeed almost impossible, the only possible thing is to divert the target that provokes desire, and ....... Suppressed desires by irresistible external forces. ”
"We can't kill it, we can't imprison him, but someone else can."
"Wake him up."
"Yes."
Standing next to the Marquis of Cotte, who slowly opened his tired eyes, Lynn looked down at him condescendingly, his lips lightly opened, and the voice he spat out was soft and ethereal, like the whispers of the devil seducing mortals in a storybook.
"Sir, do you want to take a gamble?"
"Win, let you go."
......
At night, the manor houses not far outside of Catalena are still lit up as if it were day.
In the hall, Mrs. Cook looked at the servant who had come down from the upper floor, and asked softly.
"Heidi, are they all asleep?"
"Asleep, ma'am."
"Hmm." Mrs. Kurt rubbed her temples and bowed her head gently, "Then you should go and rest first." ”
"Thank you, ma'am!"
The servants departed rejoicing.
"Madame is so nice, really, I have never seen such a considerate Madame."
"That's it, let's not talk about it, let's just say that Mrs. Ryan next door, I heard that she has killed a lot of people this month."
"So terrible? It's ok, it's ok......."
"Alas, poor such a good lady, there is such a husband, you say, the gap between the identity of the lady and the master is not big, how can it be ......."
"Shut up, you!"
“......”
Mrs. Cotter ignored the whispers of the servants, and silently went to the bedside and looked up at the sky.
Built on the mountainside, Kot Manor can be attacked and defended, and the location is not bad, and from a distance, you can even see the towering walls of Catalena.
"Ugh."
Looking at the walls, Mrs. Cotter sighed again.
Although the estate is large, she doesn't really like it here.
Because this is not the original wish that she and her husband made at the beginning.
Mrs. Cotter and Marquis Cott, in fact, are also a pair of childhood sweethearts, from school uniforms to wedding dresses, there has been almost no major awkwardness, coupled with the matching of identities, the two have been called a model couple by the outside world since they got married.
When they first got married, Madame Cotter and Marquis Cotter once made a grand wish together in front of their wedding photos.
"Let's work together to move our home into the glorious avenue!"
This sentence, at the time, seemed very probable.
Although the people in the Brilliant Avenue all had both status and power in the kingdom, the Marquis of Kurt at that time was very good in terms of swordsmanship talent and getting along with people, and Mrs. Kurt herself was not a mediocre talent.
With the help of the two families, this is definitely a very likely thing - after all, the parents of both of them live there, although it is just a very ordinary house, but it is also lived in.
However, all this fantasy, and even a very likely future, changed after the Marquis of Cotter was invited to a certain place on Seventeenth Street.
Not only did he acquire a hobby of collecting liquor, but more terrifyingly, he became addicted to gambling.
At first, the Marquis of Kurt told her that it was just a joke among friends, and Mrs. Kurt did not take it seriously, after all, the fact that the nobles did use this to entertain.
But from the moment the Marquis of Kurt lost all the expensive clothes and pocket watches she had specially made for him, the nature of the matter changed.
Since then, every activity of the Marquis of Cote has been either to store wine or to make money in betting, and the foundation of his goals has been changed.
Don't say anything about moving the family into the Brilliant Avenue, because after the death of the old Marquis de Cotte, the residence left to him in the Brilliant Avenue was lost to someone else because of her husband's "carelessness".
If it weren't for the fact that Madame Cotter was indeed capable, and had quietly begun to control the family property by herself when she found that she could not stop the Marquis of Cott's actions, then she would not even be able to live in a thatched house, let alone live in a manor.
During the period of Marquis Cott's change, Mrs. Cotter actually couldn't hold back several times, especially after he lost the house on Brilliant Avenue, and she lived directly in her mother's house for a year.
If it weren't for Count Kurt coming to plead with her with a few children, she would never have agreed to live with him again.
However, in the face of the children's tearful faces, even a tough woman can't help but soften her heart.
After asking Marquis Kurt to take an oath in front of the Statue of Starlight, promising not to make any mistakes again, and to abstain from any "gambling", she returned to the estate.
It's just that later she finally understood that it is better to believe in men than to believe in sows learning to climb trees.
After she returned, the Marquis of Kurt seemed to be a little more restrained, ostensibly going home every day, however, when she went to check the ledger one day, she found several loopholes, and upon questioning, Marquis Curt's disguise was torn off the spot.
Mrs. Cotter's anger directly broke through the Heavenly Spirit Cover and rushed into the sky.
This time, no one will be able to stop the Starlight Goddess unless she descends.
She used all her resources on the spot and controlled all the financial resources of the Marquis of Cote.
Hey, don't say it, that's pretty good.
Saying good things didn't work, but this tough trick gave a response.
The Marquis de Cot did not gamble, because he was lying on the bed, limp and weak, unable to feed him, his face was as white as a piece of paper, and the whole thing looked like he was dying.
Mrs. Cotter didn't know what made her husband who might have been so beautiful become like this, but there was no way, years of friendship made it impossible for her to really see her husband die because of it.
After making a difficult choice, she had no choice but to open up the economy to him again.
Then, the Marquis of Kurt was like a return to the light, and he could run away on the same day, but with Madame Curt's control, it was quite restrained.
Where is the convergence?
In budget-conscious.
In the past, one gold coin might not have been enough for the tail of his chips, but now, he can use it as ten times.
This seems to be a blessing in misfortune, but unfortunately, although the chips have become smaller, the number has increased, and the increase in number will lead to an increase in the time of the game, which is reflected in the event, that is, the Marquis of Cotter's return time, which is getting later and later.
After looking at the distant walls for a long time, Mrs. Cotter finally withdrew her gaze.
It seems that tonight will not be able to wait again.
Shaking her head, she turned.
And the moment she turned around, her gaze quietly froze.
Not far away on the couch, her husband was being tied up and thrown there, struggling to see her turn around, and the sound of "whine" kept coming from his blocked mouth.
On the sofa next to him, a man in a black robe and a mask was sitting on it, and even raised his hand to greet her with ease.
"Good evening, beautiful lady....... Ah, sorry, my words may be biased. ”
The black-robed figure touched it in his arms, then stretched out his hand and showed a brilliant diamond ring in front of the woman, and threw it very lightly.
"Beauty is a fact, but Mrs. Cotter....... Not right away. ”
