"Mistress Pierre. ”

Pierre, who was busy with the experiment, looked up.

"Huy Glare?" Pierre frowned slightly, "How could it be you?"

"Yes, my lord, I'm here to deliver the potion that was done today. ”

"Why isn't it Isadora?

Gong Hao carefully observed Pie's reaction, and could see that there was a kind of impatience in his heart.

Then he replied, "Princess Avril has been on Purgatory Island for almost two months. She felt that she should go back, so today she called Isadora back. ”

"Yes? That's a shame. ”

"Yes, my lord, Isadora is smart, beautiful, and very cute, and I am a little reluctant to let her go. The thought of her leaving made me feel as if I had lost something. ”

Gong Hao's words were simply in response to Piye's mood, and he completely spoke to his heart.

For the past month, this charming little goblin full of temptation has appeared in front of him several times almost every day.

She was so beautiful that she was so mesmerizing that she couldn't help herself with her every move.

If this wasn't the Alchemy Tower, but at Winrington School of Magic and Magic, Pierre might have forcibly raped and killed her.

"When are they leaving?" asked Gong Hao.

"Three days later. In fact, I saw Isadora in tears after getting the news. ”

"She's crying?"

"Yes, she secretly cried alone, and it was obvious that she was reluctant to leave this place. My lord, I think this is a bit strange, there is no reason for a maid to cry because she is leaving Purgatory Island. In fact, I think there's something unusual about her lately. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I think it's possible that she's falling in love. You know, there are a lot of wonderful teenagers on Purgatory Island. Especially the apprentices, they are smart, funny, and knowledgeable. When Isadora wasn't helping me, she would often hang out with the other apprentices, spending the least amount of time with me than they had with each other. I think she might be secretly in love with someone. ”

"Is this possible?" said Pierre, frowning, and a nameless anger rose in his heart. No, she's mine, how can she like someone else?

Gong Hao continued: "When I left after the test last night, I noticed that she seemed to say something, and I'll see you in the small jungle tomorrow night. ”

"You mean Isadora is secretly dating someone?"

"I think so, sir. I'm not sure, though, and you know it's probably because I misheard. And after I came out, she didn't say anything, and I didn't see who she was talking to. ”

"But you can't deny that there's a good chance she'll leave the castle tonight and go on a date?"

"Yes, my lord, that's why I'm telling you about it. You know that achievement comes from hard work, and love is the most distracting thing for a person. If any of the apprentices are in a relationship with a girl, the consequence is likely to be that they will no longer work hard. I'm worried that if this continues, it will cause a major mistake at work or any other undesirable consequences. ”

"Your fears are right, alchemy does not allow distractions. ”

"Well, if you're agree, I'd like to let me go to the grove tonight, and I'd like to know which apprentice had a secret tryst there. ”

"Nope. Pierre flatly refused: "It's not appropriate, Glare." You must know that Isadora is the princess's maid, and once a secret tryst like this is discovered, it will not look good for the princess's face. This can affect the reputation of the royal family. ”

"Yes, my lord, you are right, and I am sure that the princess will not like this kind of thing to happen. ”

"Have you ever told anyone about this?"

"No, my lord, I didn't tell anyone. ”

"Very well, from now on you don't have to ask Isadora and the apprentice questions. After all, they were gone in three days, so let it all pass, and hopefully the apprentice would come to his senses and concentrate on his work. ”

"Yes, sir, then I'll step back first. ”

"Go ahead. Pierre said, waving his hand.

Looking at Gong Hao's back as he left, Pierre's eyes spewed out angry flames that almost burned all reason. Oh Isadora, my love, how can you fool around with other men behind my back?

No, I can't accept that this happening.

Tonight...... Yes tonight, I know what to do.

Very well, Hue Igler, thank you very much for the news, this has given me a godsend. That damn apprentice will be my substitute, and Huegliel will be my witness, but it seems impossible to cut off those wonderful parts of her so that the mentor doesn't find out.

Either way, tonight is going to be an exciting night.

Yes, that's exciting!

Pierre closed his eyes.

In the princess's bedroom, Gong Hao continues to tell Avril the story.

"There are many theories about the origin of masquerade. There is a saying that it means that winter is coming to an end, spring is coming, and all kinds of evil and ghosts will return to the deep mountains and old forests to no longer harm the world. In order not to let them reveal their identities and leave quietly, this kind of parade is specially held to send them off. There is also a theory that it comes from the upper echelons of the court. In some countries, whenever there is a major celebration, the monarch will always dance happily in the palace with his courtiers. Since the monarch is the supreme being, the courtiers will always be very careful when they have fun with the monarch, which makes the joy inexhaustible. ”

"Yes, that's why I love being with you. Avril interrupted Gong Hao's speech and interjected.

So then a clever queen came up with a solution, which was to have the monarch and the courtiers change out of the costume of the representative status, and then each of them put on a mask. In this way, when they are celebrating, because you can't see each other's faces clearly, you don't have to worry about facing the monarch, so you can't speak happily. In particular, the monarch does not intervene in the celebration at first, but secretly inserts it in the middle of the process, and he does not reveal his identity to anyone, just to be able to enjoy the pleasure of equality for a while. ”

"Oh, that's a good way to do it. No one knows when they will be dancing with their own His Majesty. But my father was fat, and even if he wore a mask, people could tell him from his belly. ”

Gong Hao laughed: "Yes, in fact, this method does not have much effect, many people have their own way to identify who their monarch is, and even if the monarch is not there, they also dare not speak loudly at will, everyone is afraid that their words will be heard by a spy who may be next to them." It didn't make the nobles' balls completely unscumbersome, but it survived. Because in folklore, this way of celebrating is fun. Think about it, everyone walks out into the street with a mask, you don't know who you're going to dance with, maybe there's a face under that mask that's what you've been waiting for, but it's just as likely to be something you hate. But in a situation where you don't know anything, you drop everything and laugh to your heart's content. You can even go to the people and listen to what people are saying about the country, about the royal family. Since you're wearing a mask, no one knows who you are, so you can hear a lot of truth. People open their hearts by disguising their appearances, and that's what masquerade was meant in the first place, at least that's what I think. ”

"It's really great. When I get back to Winrington, I'm going to get my father through the masquerade celebrations. Then I sneaked out and stayed with the civilians and listened to them talk about those interesting things. Of course, all of them are not as good as you combined, Huey. ”

"You like the idea?" Gong Hao asked her.

"Of course, I like it very much. I can't wait to try it now. ”

"Oh, the masquerade can only be done at night. Under the light of the campfire, the two men wore masks, as if they were facing strangers to each other. Then they would sit down together and confide in each other and say whatever they wanted without worrying about any consequences. They can chat while drinking delicious fruit wine, and no one takes off their masks, just communicating with their hearts...... It's a fun experience. You don't have to have a lot of people to try. ”

"Shall we try it tonight, then?"

"I'm afraid your butlers and servants will stop you. ”

"We can sneak out. Can you do that right? I love that feeling, like the last time you took me to the Alchemy Tower. Avril was excited.

"Yes, Avril. Gong Hao nodded: "Since you insist, then I suggest that you prepare a set of maid's costumes before you, and then I will prepare a mask for you." By the way, what kind of mask do you like?"

Avril thought seriously for a moment, and then affirmed, "I want the kind that shows its teeth and claws, and looks very vicious." ”

"Oh, no, Avril, that's not going to work, you know, it's at night, it's going to freak people. ”

"Oh, no one will see it anyway. ”

"But I think you'd better wear a cute mask. ”

"Well, Huey, I'll wear whatever you like me wearing. ”

"Well, I'm going to go back and make a mask for you first, and I'll bring it to you. ”

"Yes. Avril replied with her little neck curled, covering her mouth and smiling secretly.

"I think it's going to be a really good night. "Gong Hao, don't have a taste.

——————————————————————

When evening came, Gong Hao brought Avril a mask.

A cute little bunny.

In the dead of night, Avril changed into a maid costume and a bunny mask, and crept out of the window next to her.

She jumped out of the window, bang, and landed in Gong Hao's arms.

Originally, there were samurai guards outside the window. However, it was all transferred away by Avril in advance for the incredible reason that "you blocked my favorite moonlight". This makes sneaking out of the castle a breeze with Gong Hao and Avril working together.

As soon as she ran out of the castle, Avril couldn't help but laugh and leaned back: "Oh, Huey, this is so interesting. We are like a cheating couple. The days with you are so wonderful every day. ”

Gong Hao also smiled: "So do you want to be more fun?"

"What could you have more fun with?" Avril Lavigne's big eyes sparkled under the rabbit mask.

"Of course. Gong Hao said: "There is a form of entertainment called drama, which is a beautiful art form. It was born among the people and has been passed down for centuries to make people nostalgic. There are a lot of wonderful and moving stories in the drama. These stories are used in everyday celebrations to make masquerade even more exciting. ”

"Tell me what to do?"

"Remember the story of Romeo and Juliet I told you?"

"Oh, that's a tragedy, damn Huey, you cheated me out of a lot of tears. Avril beat Gong Hao with her little fist, looking like a coquettish lover.

"Yes, a very classic tragedy where a man and a woman who are in love with each other cannot come together because of the background behind them. Bonfires are sometimes lit at masquerade balls, and a man and woman recite Romeo and Juliet's dialogue around the campfire, as if they were the protagonists of the tragedy. It was a very engaged performance. Through this kind of performance, they can experience the sweetness of love and feel all kinds of feelings, including joy, sweetness, beauty, pain, sorrow and trouble...... Would you like to try it?"

Avril was moved.

She nodded slightly.

Gong Hao took out a bottle of potion and gave it to her.

"Drink this. He said.

"What is this?"

"A voice changer, it can make your voice temporarily thicker and more infectious when you speak. ”

"Oh, you're always so committed and thoughtful in what you do. ”

Avril drank the potion.

Then she asked softly, "Which section are we coming to?"

"The scene under the moon and the scene of parting with life and death at the end, those are the two most wonderful plots, this is the script, and I will memorize it later. Oh yes, in both paragraphs, we're going to call each other endearments. ”

"Nicknames? You didn't tell me they had nicknames before. ”

"That was my negligence. ”

"Okay then, Huey, what shall I call you?"

"Call me Ivo. ”

"Ivo's name as the apprentice in the castle?"

"It's just a coincidence. ”

"So what's Juliet's nickname?"

"Isa. ”

"Oh, what a coincidence, Isadora is also called Isa. ”

"It's a story, Avril. ”
