Volume II, Chapter XVI

For those who are constantly chasing herself, Deel Merlin treats her with a playful pet mentality, and she likes to be complimented by others who follow her and praise her beauty and youthful atmosphere. She likes to watch their eyes go from extreme frenzy to extreme frenzy, and she will give them appropriate encouragement even before they lose the courage to pursue her.

"Mother, is this a man? Is this a noble?" In the dead of night, she would look at her mother's portrait with tears in her eyes and ask, "How could you marry such a man?"

"No! I can't be so depressed!" said Miss Dill Merlin, "to-night I'll let Joey wag his tail at me like a hock...... Then, I'll laugh and kick him away! I'm strong, I won't lose to anyone!"

Miss Dill Merlin, who had thought of a countermeasure, sat in a different position, and a smile that could charm people again.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Mr. Joy walked up to Miss Dill Merlin.

"Have you found a witness?" asked Miss Dell Merlin in a mischievous tone, "Mr. Joy?"

"I'm sorry," said Mr. Joy helplessly, "I didn't find it." ”

"That's so...... Miss Dill Merlin shook the folding fan in her hand, "and I've heard a lot of people call you 'dear, sweetheart, my little liver, little bunny, little fat pig,' ............"

Mr. Joy looked at Miss Dell Merlin's big twinkle eyes, and almost burst into tears.

"Oh, Miss Deel Merlin, believe me, I ...... I'm really sincere!"

"But...... In what way do you prove your sincerity?" said Miss Dill Merlin, her long, curly eyelashes tickling Mr. Joy's heart.

"I ...... I ......," said Mr. Joy, who suddenly stepped over the balcony fence, "I can jump from here!

"Oh?" said Miss Deel Merlin, looking at the height of the balcony. And then I made a comparison with Mr. Joy's guts. And then said. "Jump if you want, I'll go in first and wait for you to come up from below. ”

Miss Dill Merlin went into the room, sat down in a chair near the balcony, and waited for Mr. Joy, who did not dare to jump off the balcony, to come in and confess to herself.

It stands to reason that Mr. Joy would never dare to jump off the balcony in normal times, even if it was not very high. But. At this time, there was still a person on the balcony, a man in black, a man in black and a black cloth covering his face.

The poor man in black had been squatting there for a long time, and he did not expect that the good play would be endless, and by the time Miss Diel Merlin entered the room, the feet of the man in black had begun to go numb.

"It's a good thing there's no one here right away...... He's about to jump," the man in black breathed a sigh of relief, "you big watermelon, you can finally move." ”

But after waiting for a long time, Mr. Joy, who was straddling the fence, did not jump forward. Nor do I go back. Clearly, Mr. Joy was thinking about a very important issue.

"You're a big watermelon. You're jumping!" The man in black scolded in his heart, the taste of "unbearable squatting in life" was really uncomfortable.

Mr. Joy is still pondering: To jump, or not to jump, is the question.

"I can't squat anymore......" The man in black slowly stood up, rubbed his numb legs, and almost fell, "I can't care about so many ......"

"If I jumped, Miss Dell Merlin would have understood my intentions, but ...... so high here," thought Mr. Joy, looking at the two of them on the ground, "I might as well go into the room and apologize to Miss Deel Merlin...... But she won't forgive me......"

However, behind Mr. Joy, who was destined to be unlucky tonight, a man in black with a green glow in his eyes (squatting for a long time?) lifted his legs.

"You slut...... It's because you want to jump and you don't jump, so Lao Tzu squatted until now and his legs are numb......" The man in black shook his head and kicked out, "Let me help you!"

Mr. Joy opened his mouth wide, his hands clutched at his hair, and his mouth let out a mournful "woo" and fell.

The banquet was supposed to be held on the first floor, and the second floor was set aside by the host for the guests to rest, and no one else was there, when Miss Dill Merlin, who was in the room, suddenly heard a shout from the servant downstairs, "Mr. Joy has jumped off the building!"

Although she didn't know why Joey had become brave today, Miss Dill Merlin got up and walked to the balcony, she didn't want to kill someone, and it would be troublesome to get involved with someone like Joey, because Mr. Joy's parents were very annoying.

On the balcony, the man in black kicked Joey, and his mood became very good. He smiled "hehe" as he turned around, he wanted to go into the room and go downstairs from somewhere else.

Who knew that when he turned around, he met Miss Dill Merlin who came out, and the two were face to face.

Neither of them was mentally prepared for this, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

Miss Dill Merlin reacted very quickly, jumped back, and opened her mouth to bark. The man in black knew that it was going to be miserable, and when Miss Deel Merlin jumped back, he threw Miss Deere Merlin down on the thick carpet in the room, covering Deere Merlin's small mouth with one hand and holding Miss Deere Merlin's right hand with the other.

However, our Miss Dill Merlin still had her left hand to use, and now her left hand moved.

The man in black had no choice but to press Miss Dill Merlin's left hand to the ground with his head...... But how could a man of Miss Dill Merlin's character give up her resistance? She first grabbed the man in black by the hair with the fingers of her left hand, which was still moving, and kicked the man with the leg under her skirt.

Because the hair was caught, the man in black snorted and raised his leg to block Miss Deel Merlin's foot, but Miss Dill Merlin's attack again and again, and the man in black simply wrapped his leg tightly around Deel Merlin's leg with his own leg very impatiently.

The two of them were in such a strange posture and stalemate.

Miss Dill Merlin's chest rose and fell violently, and no young man had ever dared to be so close to her body! she was furious! The hand that grabbed the other's hair tightened a little......

The man in black was uncomfortable, and he gasped for air. His hair was grabbed by Miss Dill Merlin. It hurts a lot. Moreover, he had to grab her right hand, cover her mouth, put his head against her left hand, and keep the legs of the two people together...... The current posture is even more uncomfortable than just squatting on the balcony.

Miss Dill Merlin's eyes can kill, and she keeps struggling, but the girl's strength is limited after all, and it won't be long. Miss Dill Merlin was tired.

The man in black felt a little lighter in his hand grabbing his hair, and in order to show that he had no ill intentions, the hand covering his mouth loosened.

Dill Merlin could breathe through her mouth, she gasped for breath and slowly calmed down, because the man in black was covering his face, and she could only see the outline of the face of the man in black, and the man in black was also looking at her, and his eyes showed a message of hope for reconciliation.

The eyes of the two of them were staring at each other, and everyone's breathing gradually calmed down. The strength in his hands is getting smaller and smaller, and it seems that there is hope for a peaceful resolution of the matter.

"Miss Dill Merlin!" there was a knock at the door. "You're all right, are you?"

Hearing that someone was coming, the man in black became nervous, and the hand covering his mouth involuntarily tightened! Of course, Miss Dill Merlin would not give him any good feeling, and the hand that grabbed his hair immediately exerted himself in retaliation, and the eyes of the two became fierce and hostile again, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense again.

"Miss Dill Merlin?" The people outside the door didn't know the consequences of his words, and they were still knocking on the door, "Miss Dill Merlin, what's wrong with you?"

Miss Dill Merlin was now very conflicted, and she could struggle any longer, but when someone else came in, she was seen lying in this position with a young man...... I may have ten mouths and I can't tell clearly...... Hatefully, this damn one still holds his mouth down...... If you don't speak again, the people outside the door will come in!

Thinking of this, Miss Dill Merlin glared fiercely at the man in black.

The man in black complained bitterly, he had a headache, a sore back, and numb feet...... Seeing Miss Dill Merlin glaring at him, his clever head only turned half a circle to know why.

He looked at Deel Merlin, shook his head slightly, and then slowly let go of the hand that was covering Miss Deel Merlin's mouth, and touched the black iron dagger on his leg.

"If this stinky woman screams, I'll have to wipe her neck......" he told himself, though he wasn't sure he could do it.

"I'm all right," said Miss Dill Merlin, who calmed herself down, and tilted her head to the people outside the door, "I've just been a little tired, and I've rested for a while, is there anything wrong?"

"Oh, it's all right," replied the man outside the door, "but Mr. Joy stumbled and fell downstairs." ”

"What a misfortune," said Miss Dill Merlin, with regret...... "is Mr. Joy seriously wounded?"

"Not strict, the master arranged for a carriage to send him back...... Rest for you to call when the feast is over. ”

"Thank you very much. ”

Dill Merlin, who had finished talking to the servant, turned her head and saw the young man beside her laughing, and although he was covering his face, she could tell from his eyes that he was laughing, and laughing a little hard.

Miss Dill Merlin glared at him fiercely again.

The man in black put away his smile, shook his head lightly again, let go of her hand, and let go of the foot that was wrapped around her......

Miss Dill Merlin let go of the man in black's hair, and with a push of her hands on his chest, the two of them parted.

"How dare you laugh at me just now!" Dill Merlin, who was originally very cute, now looked terrifying, like a she-wolf on the verge of madness, "What qualifications do you have to dare not face women's things?"

"Did I laugh at you? how did I not know?" the man in black looked very absent, "Oh! you said I was laughing at that gentleman...... As for whether I dare to face a woman...... I think other women have more say than you do. ”

"What are you laughing at him?" Miss Dill Merlin knew intuitively that the fellow knew a lot about it.

"Oh...... I laughed at the way he fell. The man in black smiled and found a chair to sit down.

"You saw him jump?"

"Look," the man in black's eyes rolled around, "I kicked him down......

"You ......," Miss Dill Merlin was speechless.

"A man like this, no, you can't call him a man......" said the man in black lightly. "It's the height of a toothpick. I want to jump but I don't dare to jump. I can see that I am on fire...... So I helped him, and by the way, you saw him another day and told him that he didn't have to thank me. ”

"Aren't you afraid of my name?" said Deel Merlin, who felt that he really couldn't do anything about this kind of person, "you murderer. ”

"It doesn't matter, I'll wipe your neck with this as soon as you call me......" The man in black pulled out a black dagger, "and fled." ”

"That's all you have to do?" Miss Deel Merlin was not at all afraid of the dagger in the hand of the man in black, and did not know why. She just knew that this person wouldn't hurt herself, even though he looked annoying.

"What else do you wish I could have, miss?" the man in black had found another way down the stairs, "tie you up, smell the perfume in your hair, or kiss your seductive little mouth...... If you agree, I'm not against taking advantage of you even more......"

"You scoundrel!" Dill Merlin grabbed a vase and threw it at him, and the man in black flipped back and grabbed the vase firmly.

"Looks like this vase is worth a lot......" The man in black looked down the way downstairs and felt that the vase was a little bigger, so he put it aside.

"Hey, get something......" the man in black walked over, "I don't want to come for nothing." ”

Miss Dill Merlin's hand flipped and it was a slap in the face, but alas. The hand was grabbed by him.

"It's nerve-wracking," the man in black flashed at her again. But she took off her headband, "Just use this to fill up the number......"

"You thief!" said Miss Dill Merlin, holding out her hand, "give it back to me!"

"Funny, do you want to pay it back for the robbers you robbed?" the man in black put away his headband, "Goodbye......"

Miss Dill Merlin had to watch the guy climb out of the window, and she felt very breathless.

"I said......" who knows if the guy poked his head out of the window again, "what is the place from here?"

Miss Dell Merlin checked her back and replied angrily, "Kitchen!"

"Oh, got it," the man in black nodded, "Do you want to listen to it?"

Miss Dill Merlin let out a haughty "hum!"

"You don't want to use the long sword again, this one is for you to use......" The man in black put an object by the window and disappeared.

Miss Dill Merlin looked at the window, waiting for the man in black to reappear. There are often such people, they do anything to attract her attention, but the man in black does not appear again......

She walked slowly to the window, just in time to see the man in black jump over the garden fence and disappear into the night.

In the window, there is a sheathed dagger.

Miss Dill Merlin picked up the dagger and looked at the workmanship, she was sure that it was forged by the best craftsmen of the dwarves, and as she slowly drew it, she exhaled that it was a black iron dagger. Miss Dill Merlin had been in business for many years, so she naturally knew the value of this dagger, which was not something that ordinary nobles could have.

On the handle of the dagger, a kind of fish skin that he had never seen before was wound with silk threads, and the way the silk threads were wound was also very special...... This qiē, like its owner, is so different.

This man in black...... Who is it?

Miss Dill Merlin decided to go home and think again, so she put away her dagger, tied her hair with a ribbon, and then arranged her evening gown, and went downstairs to say goodbye to her master.

......

"Ahh

Mr. Fischette cried with a sad face, "Won ......"

"You're still like this after winning?" Cohen asked, looking up, "How much did you win?"

"That's too much to win......," sighed Mr. Fischet, "more than four thousand eight hundred gold coins for Iva Merlin, and more than nine hundred gold coins for the old nobles......

"Ah ......," Cohen blinked, "didn't you say you could put it away?"

"I know that, blame you for the wine!" said Fischet, "and when I came to my senses, the whole table was dead-faced! And we saw Eva Merlin cheating in the last game, ...... we did."

"What do they say?"

"Give me money in ten days...... No one was on the spot to expose Eva Merlin," Fichette shook his head, "What about Cohen? ”

Cohen called Jack very quickly, whispered a few words in his ear, and Jack left immediately.

"Write a letter to Eva Merlin at once, extending the repayment period by ten days, and in addition, tell him that you all believe that he was drunk in the last few rounds and forgive him for his actions!"

"I'll write it right away!"

"!," Mr. Cohen looked out the window at the night, "don't make a mistake, I'll have to go and see." ”

......

Humming a brisk dance, Miss Dill Merlin walked through the long cloister of her house with foxtrot steps, her hands lightly holding the skirt of her evening gown, and a sheathed dagger dangled from her little finger in her hand.

She was going to say goodnight to her father, and by the way, she asked him how many gold coins he had lost today.

"Good evening, miss. She went to the door of her father's study, and the servant greeted her.

"Good evening, is my father back?" said Deel Merlin, placing a rose brought back from the dinner party on the servant's breast.

The servant accepted the young lady's flower with a smile, shook his head, and said, "Yes, but he doesn't look very happy." ”

"Ah...... It's okay, let me talk to him, you go and rest, thank you. "Dill Merlin is in a good mood today, she doesn't want to quarrel with her father.

"Yes, Miss. The servant opened the door for her.

She walked into her father's room and saw a middle-aged man drinking at his desk, where an unsheathed dagger was placed. (To be continued......)
