Chapter 54: The Secret of the Blue Star Cave
"I've never heard you mention someone so gnashing your teeth. Hidden eyebrows asked tentatively.
Sesher took her hand again, and said with a rare sincere expression, "Her real name is Mei Li, I already knew her when she was a sister of Windsor, I was ten years old at that time, and she was the same age as me. Neither her siblings nor her parents were known for their beauty, but this deficiency was greatly compensated for by her. In short, because of state affairs, when I come to Jalal with the mission, I will definitely stay in the Golden City and the Dark Cloud Castle for a long time. At that time, the Duke of Windsor, that is, Mei Li's father, he was one of the few Jaral royal families that I respected, the Duke had five daughters but no sons, and Mei Li was the oldest and most loved by her father. โ
At this moment, they came to a stream. The stream meandered from the foot of the mountain, and the two men took out the portable torch from the lower compartment of the carriage, lit it, and flew it by the swaying orange light
The two of them looked up, and the stone mounds lurking in the night not far away seemed to be giants from ancient times, rolling and undulating, with endless outlines.
"Is there a cave in the stone mound ahead where you can rest?" interjected.
"Yes," replied Sether, "if my memory is correct, I can still find the cave where I used to play with Belen, and we carved many pictures of cows, sheep, lions, zebras, wild boars, and pigeons with our swords on the walls. Belรฉm named the cave the Blue Star Cave because it contained a blue hot spring, and the glowstones at the bottom of the spring looked like stars in the night sky. We can compete with swords, horseback riding, wrestling, and after a lot of crazy play, we can spend the whole night in the hot springs, and compete to see who is the first to count the stars in a certain area of the hot springs. I would win every fight, and I was so angry that Belen wanted to draw his sword and fight me in a duel. But he didn't know, I just pretended to count, and then fooled him with a number......"
Hidden eyebrows stared at the gentle light in Sether's eyes, and couldn't help but say, "You really love your brother." โ
He smiled slightly, "At that time, the daughters of the Duke of Windsor were reluctant to play with us, because Belen and I always thought of ways to bully the girls, draw turtles on their faces, throw caterpillars into their collars, and pretend to scare them, until they were angry and afraid of wow, and we would laugh next to them. โ
Yin Xinmei sneered and laughed.
"At that time, only Meili was not afraid of us, and at first Belen had a good time with her, but it didn't take long for Meili to start intimidating him, scaring him with snakes and spiders. These were the things that Belen feared the most, and he told it to Mei Li as a secret, but she used it against him, when she was ten years old, and Belen was eight years old. Belen wasn't very bold when he was around, and if I wasn't by his side, he would never dare to bully any girl. โ
"So, your belly is all revealed, Sether. โ
"I have to protect him. Once, Mei Li actually took Belen to cut her wrist with a dagger and bleed to feed the snake she raised," Sether's expression became heavy again, "If I hadn't found out earlier, Belen might have died at that time." I told the Duke of Windsor about this, and he punished her very severely, striking her on the palm with a precept, punishing her to do embroidery in her room, and not going out of the house. But I could tell from the look in her eyes that she didn't think anything was wrong, she knew very well that what she did would kill Belen, but she didn't care. โ
"Later, every time I came to Dark Cloud Castle as a guest, I kept my distance from Mei Li, and I was wary that she would take pleasure in hurting Belen again. But in the summer when I was sixteen, Belรฉn told me he was in love. I immediately knew that the other party must be Mei Li, who was two years older than him, and no matter how much I tried to persuade him, Belen was determined to marry Mei Li and go home. I beat him up so hard that he had a blue nose and swollen face. We haven't spoken for almost a year. โ
"During that year, Belen went to Jalal many times alone, and I knew that he must have run to see Mei Li, and every time he went, he would stay at least ten, and I was really afraid that at the age of fourteen he would marry Mei Li, who had been made by men, and become an unknown father. โ
"Why is it unclear?"
"There's a kind of woman who doesn't need words or touch, and when you see her at first glance, you know she's a lascivious and shameless bitch. That's how it is," said Sether, her hand clutching her brow tighter, "I know she's been having affairs with men since she was nine years old, and Belen doesn't have enough to stuff her teeth in her eyes. The Jalal royal family, especially the Tangterre faction, is basically eager to marry the Wilphkai royal family, or marry a Wilphser Kai princess. Anyone could see Mei Li's intentions at a glance, but Belen was carried away by love, and he was seduced by this woman to become an almost deaf and blind fool. โ
"Just when I thought I would lose this lovely brother of Belen and gain such a terrible brother and sister-in-law as Mei Li, in the winter of that year, Belen returned to Wilchenkai on the fifth day of his journey to the country of Jalal, and he rushed back to the Impatiens Garden overnight and knocked on my door in the middle of the night. I slept so drowsy that I thought I had seen a ghost. Belen stammered to tell me that he had seen Mei Li trick her eldest sister Lily into the Snake Valley in the middle of the night, then pushed off a cliff and fed Lily to the snake. โ
Second, Mei Li lied to everyone and told everyone that Lily had chosen to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff because she was heartbroken from love, and coincidentally, Lily had just broken off her marriage to a nobleman from Wisson Kai, so no one doubted Mei Li's words. Belen was tempted to tell the Duke of Windsor what terrible things his favorite daughter had done, but Rose threatened Belen to push him into the Snake Valley to feed the pythons if he dared to go out for a word. Fortunately, my younger brother was the most courageous and the fastest to escape, so he left the Cloud Castle with a group of attendants that night. You can imagine what happened next, our brothers were reconciled as before, and Belen cut off all contact with Meili from then on, and he would not attend any occasion when she was there. โ
But it wasn't over, when Mei Li was seventeen years old, her other three sisters also died, either the carriage lost control and fell to their deaths, or they died suddenly while attending a ball, or they died of emaciation and exhaustion. Belen and I knew right away that these accidents must have been orchestrated by Mei Li. In this way, she became the sole heir to the Duke of Windsor, and not long after, her father also died. So Mei Li officially became the owner of the Cloud Castle, Princess Windsor. โ
So far, she has married no less than seven men, each of whom died in less than a year, each leaving her a large inheritance, and that's it. Princess Windsor becomes Widow of Windsor. Although her femme fatale reputation has long been known overseas, there are always lustful fools who want to risk their lives. With her fame-known beauty and wealth to rival her wealth, she will never be short of suitors. โ
"I remember," cried out suddenly, "is this Duchess of Windsor the famous bloodthirsty Rose?" I have heard many stories about her, the most memorable of which is the absurdity of bathing her in the blood of a virgin and keeping her face beautiful. I really didn't expect that one day I would actually set foot on the territory of the bloodthirsty rose. โ
"That's not a rumor, it's all true. If you know who Mei Li is, you will know that there is nothing this woman cannot do," Sether gritted his teeth and shook his head, "She doesn't just slaughter virgins, as long as it's a good-looking woman, she will extend her claws to them." Draining their blood and throwing their remains into the Snake Valley has been a daily lesson for Meili since she was seventeen years old. I bet she must have done the same to her four sisters. So, I don't want you to get near anything that belongs to her, and that's why I'm going to stay away from Cloudcastle with you. โ
"Thank you, Sethy. She squeezed his hand gratefully, "However, you and I are not low in martial arts, are you still afraid of a woman who has lived in the boudoir for a long time and does not come out? Even if she likes to play those terrible tricks, but I have the holy bow, you have the long sword, we are not even afraid of the Moro Divine Guard and the Divine Cow Elite Soldier, why should we be so afraid of a woman?"
"How the hell did you live to be so big?" Sether reached out and stroked the back of her head, and said softly, "Come to think of it, she's only twenty-five years old, and she doesn't have to worry about her appearance at all." Why does she want so much blood? Think about it again, the four-winged snake is not a creature from the Vilogosa continent, how can it only hover over the territory of the Dark Cloud Castle?"
"So, Meili's horror is not that she is bloodthirsty, but that she practices witchcraft, makes ghosts, and sells herself to the devil?"
"That's right. โ
By this moment they had gone deep into the stone hills, where there were huge rocks and thousands of stone walls, and there were narrow cols in between, leading to the four sides. Sether led the horses, and after the temple, the two of them walked along the ridge, and saw that there were moss-covered ruined walls and the like, and the ruins of ancient stone houses could be seen at the pass.
Just when the hidden eyebrows were wrapped around the meat, the eyes suddenly opened up, as if entering a garden with the fragrance of the night, surrounded by flying fireflies, and the nightingale sang a beautiful nocturne with the sound of the spring.
"We're here," Sether turned to her, "this is the Blue Star Cave." โ
