[The Silmarillion] Romimus

Since the death of King Palantir, the life of the Loyalists, who were already struggling, became more and more difficult.Today on the continent of Númenor, there are not many places that are willing and able to provide them with shelter to avoid the overt and secret persecution of the Loyalists, and Anduenil is undoubtedly one of them.Under the leadership and influence of the benevolent Prince Amendil, the people here, even if they do not have a very clear political position, generally have greater goodwill towards the Valar and the Eldar than other Numenorese.

Naturally, they also hated Sauron and Romimos more than the other Numenoreans.

Even if Okanom, Naquili and others didn’t say anything, they knew it very well in their hearts, and they were mentally prepared for what might be the most dismal public tour in the history of the Alando Royal Opera House. .

But in the end, things turned out to be much better than they expected (who knows how low they lowered their expectations), almost all tickets were sold out, and very few audiences got up and left in the middle of the show.Obviously, when it is really possible to meet a beautiful and mysterious witch who only appears in rumors, most people's instinctive curiosity still overwhelmingly overcomes their inner fear and disgust.

On the other hand, although Amendil was not present due to his old age and unwell, his son Erandil and two grandsons all showed up at the first performance, which means that His Majesty the Prince is not like many people. I strongly disagree with this performance as I thought.

Even Prince Amendil, who is the most devout of all the gods of the West, is well aware that everyone has this attitude, and the others have no psychological burden.In any case, if you don't travel far, the Alando Royal Opera Troupe's performance can only catch up with this once a year, and many people don't want to miss it.

The only thing that can feel that they are not very enthusiastic is that the applause and cheers from the audience are much less than in previous years, especially when Romimos played.

Okanomo and Naquili were originally worried that Romimos would lose his temper when he received a cold reception from Anduini in the first performance, but fortunately, this worry was later proved to be unnecessary.In fact, until the festivals of "As Hantalye" in late autumn and "Isas Kilme" the following year, the beauty of Romemus was in the two places of Frosta in the north and Harnusta in the southwest. Immediately after the performance, they received unprecedented enthusiastic and even crazy praise and pursuit. It took only a few hours or even minutes for countless people to fall into it, and Romimos realized that the Anduini people were so The lukewarm response may be the exception.

But even if he realized it, Romemos just shrugged his shoulders—as if who cares.

Speaking of which, now that the performance has ended, the Alando Opera Troupe does not intend to stay too much in Anduinière. In the few months before "As Hantalie", they not only have to make preparations for the next outing tour To prepare, I have to start preparing for next year's new play intensively.

Elendil was also aware of this practice and did not retain them, but when the Alando Opera Troupe packed up the props and costumes and set off to leave Anduinière, he and his two sons rode them far away on horseback, which made Ou Kanom was flattered.

"It's far enough, I really don't need to send it off anymore, my lord." Seeing that the three of them had almost reached the border of Anduenniel and had no intention of saying goodbye to the return journey, Okanomu finally couldn't help it, took out a handkerchief and wiped it off again and again. Sweat on the forehead, "I appreciate your kindness, but adults have a lot of work to do every day, so there is really no need to delay for us."

"The manager is polite." Elendil replied, "But you are worrying too much, we just happened to be on the way with you, please don't worry about it."

Okanomu was stunned for a moment: "By the way? Where are you going?"

"Of course it's Arlando." Romemos didn't like to ride a horse, so he sat in a carriage specially used to deliver performance props. There were three layers of boxes on the cart, and Romemos was on the top. The carriage bumped and wobbled, making people afraid that she would fall off, "The weather in Anduini is calm, and it is enough for Prince Amendil to be in charge alone. How can it compare to the excitement of Armenelos' stormy day and night, you say I Is that right?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, the expressions of the father and son changed instantly. They all straightened their faces, frowned, and straightened their backs, observing Romimos cautiously.

No one answered her words, and Romemos didn't feel embarrassed. She looked around them with interest, and finally fixed her gaze on Isildur, smiling sweetly: "We meet again, my lord."

After arriving in Alando, the talents of Elendil and the Royal Opera Troupe of Arlando officially parted ways. The opera troupe returned to the royal city of Armenelos, while Elendil, Isildur and Anarion continued to go to the port of Romenna. Moving forward, they'll probably have to live here for a long time to come.

"When did you know her?" As soon as the person walked away, Anarion asked immediately, and the meaning in the words was self-evident.

"I don't know her at all!" Isildur almost jumped up from the horse, "Didn't you go to the premiere?"

"Yeah, so why does she only say hello to you?"

"Who said that? Maybe she was talking to you?"

"Oh, come on, she's definitely looking at you." Anarion shook his head, showing a half-worried and half-worried expression at his elder brother, "You might be targeted by Romimos, so be careful in the future. "

The hairs all over Isildur's body stood up: "Why me?"

"That's right, why is it you?" Anarion pretended to be jealous, but soon broke his grip on his stomach, "On the bright side, at least she is still a big beauty. I still ate when she played Sauron Surprised, how could they make her up like that..."

Compared to Anarion, who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, Isildur felt that his stomach was hurting, and he couldn't help but look back.

Don't tell me, this figure from the back seems really familiar...

"Hey, are you dumbfounded?" Anarian waved his hands in front of his eyes, "I'm just joking, don't let her be fooled, think about the things she has done, what is she Others don’t know this kind of person, but we know it all too well.”

"Of course I understand." Isildur suddenly withdrew his gaze, "I'm not looking at her...I'm not looking at her because I'm fascinated by her!"

"Oh, are you angry?"

"no!"

Leaving aside how long Isildur has been in fear because of Romimos' words, Romimos, who has returned to Armenelos, will not be happy soon.

I don't know if it's because she acted pretty well before, or because Farathon's freshness hasn't passed. In the new play, Romemos still plays the main role, and it's a villain. Fortunately, Romemos People don't have the consciousness of wanting to win a pleasing character to attract fans, and they have no objection to this. After receiving the new script, they quickly scanned the beginning and the end.

Hmm... Although she didn't have much expectation at first, it is the standard plot of a hero defeating the devil, winning the heart of a beautiful woman, and living a peaceful and happy life as expected.

"Although the core of the story is roughly the same, the setting of the plot this time is slightly different from last time." While they were reading the script, Naquili explained, "The biggest enemy that the male protagonist has to face in the past is often They are ferocious and ugly monsters, such as Balrogs and dragons, he must muster the courage to defeat them one by one with superb martial arts; and this time, compared with the horror and danger visible to the naked eye, he needs to overcome the deepest part of his heart when facing temptation. Therefore, although the villain this time is still cunning and bloodthirsty, the most terrifying thing is not her powerful power that can destroy everything, but her beauty that can drive any man into madness in an instant. The number is a household name in the Numenor continent... yes, it is you, Romimos."

Romimos raised her head in bewilderment, and Naqueri gave her an awkward smirk.

[After Sauron was conquered by the Golden Emperor, Central Continent did not return to peace and tranquility.Surrounded by swamps and covered by valleys, the witch Romimos is still fighting in her tower. She has a gorgeous and enchanting appearance, and can use powerful witchcraft to charm people, but her character is cruel and cunning .King Falazon has successively sent eleven warriors to subdue her, but they all fell into her seemingly sweet trap and were killed one by one.Until now, No. 12 people who bravely accepted the challenge finally appeared. How will he, who is kind, optimistic, upright and cheerful, overcome the upcoming arduous adventure and escape from death? 】

The so-called reincarnation is the way of heaven. I just used the previous play to have fun with Sauron, and now the same thing has finally happened to her. No, it is worse than that. This time she even wants to slander herself.

But being smeared so unrecognizably, it's almost like another person who just has the same name as her, so Romemos can't get angry because he thinks it's too outrageous.

Besides, she doesn't care much about her reputation, anyway, she doesn't have a positive image at all, and it was expected that the shitty things she did would become more and more sensational after being embellished. The only problem is, this embellished The direction seems a bit wrong, right?

"Beautiful man, I am a docile and beautiful bird... Please touch my shoulder and let me be the fuse that ignites your body; please kiss my lips, you will get more intense satisfaction than conquering a country; please Occupy, occupy..."

Romemus could not read any more.

"What's the matter?" Ilfarin asked. "Forgot the words again?"

This was unusual for Romemus, who used to recite her lines verbatim no matter how well she played in rehearsals.

"Occupy the most secret and soft place on my body, and enjoy the most extreme joy in this world." Romimos twisted his thigh, and squeezed words out from between his teeth.

The surroundings were quiet, and Ilfarin didn't continue to take the show. Romemos raised his head and saw Ilfarin with his arms crossed, his expression was indescribable.

"What do you think?" He sighed, and asked back, "Last time your performance was far from perfect, but it was barely qualified. I thought you had finally got the hang of it. But with your performance this time Compared with the performance, I would rather see that paralyzed queen again."

"I'm sorry, but I really can't play this." Not to mention him, Romimos himself also regretted why he didn't obediently obediently and couldn't think about challenging the villain role.

"You can't play again?" Vespa snorted dissatisfiedly, "Last time you were asked to play the queen, and you said you couldn't play it, so let it be. This time you are asked to play a villain in your true colors, and you can't play it either? "

"Actor in real color? I'm acting in this role as real role?" Romi Moss didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Do you still feel that you have been wronged? Aren't you the number one female devil in Arda?"

Romemos had no intention of competing for the first and second place here, although she felt that it was not Arda's turn to say that the most dangerous woman was the giant spider Angorian, but this was not the point.

"Who stipulated that the female devil must be able to seduce men?" Only this point she really wanted to complain for herself, "It's fine to hear other people's gossip, you have known me for seven or eight months, if not for a whole year, Do you think so too?"

This sentence made it difficult for Vespa to refute for a while.In fact, as early as two days after Romemos came to the Arlando Opera House, many people, including Vesper, discovered that her temperament was quite different from her image in various stories, and she could even Say nothing matches.

This must be an illusion she made up!Although he was taken aback at first, people's inherent impressions cannot be easily changed. Vespa quickly found a reason to explain this seemingly unreasonable thing: sexy and unrestrained beautiful women certainly make people It is difficult for a man to resist, but when he already knows the vicious nature of the other party, this temptation will make people vigilant because it is too obvious, but now the appearance that looks holy, noble and pure at first glance can make men feel the most Subconsciously, a desire for protection and compassion arose.

But now that the other party said this, Vespa wavered again.Are those legends really just rumors?But it doesn't make sense, because... because...

"You are so beautiful, don't you want to use your beauty to do some dirty things? Bah, who will believe it?"

That's it.With the appearance and appearance of Romimos, she only needs to hook her fingers easily to solve many problems in this world, and countless men will try to solve them for her. Such a convenient weapon, a fool will give up this advantage Instead of looking far away, it is not necessary.

"Okay, let's put aside whether the rumors are true or not." Ilfarin interrupted their dispute and looked at Romemos, "I don't care if you are lying or you have never done it. Now your role If you need to act like this, you have to be able to show it. Vesper is right about one thing, you can no longer be so arrogant and self-willed, let all the roles be lined up for you to choose, since you are an actor, do it That's what a good actor does."

"It's unreasonable." Romemos muttered, forcing a smiley face, "I was wrong, I will play whatever you want me to play in the future, but let me change the role this time, I am I really don’t know how to act in this kind of drama.” Just reading the lines almost made goosebumps all over her body burst out, okay?Not to mention making eyes and movements.

"No." Ilfarin rejected her coldly, "It's not that you don't know how to act, you just can't get out of it. You haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run?"

"I really haven't seen it..." Romimos wanted to cry but had no tears.

Since she came to Arda, she spent the first tens of thousands of years with Varda and other Vilamayas. The goddesses are all dignified and self-restraining, and even those with lively personalities will never lose their composure; Afterwards, she first stayed in Angband for several decades, where even women were rare, and later in Gondolin, among the female elves, it was impossible to have such a coquettish and dissolute person; in the second era, she finally She has established contact with human beings, but apart from a few priests who can serve by her side, she rarely really mixes with the crowd, and those priests are all the most pious people carefully selected from all ethnic groups, Some are even more ascetic than elves, and they are afraid of insulting her if they speak louder in front of her.

Ilfarin stared at her suspiciously for a long time, but in the end he didn't say anything more, he just said to Vespa: "In this case, Vespa, come and show her how a good actor acts. "

"Why should I demonstrate to her? No matter how good my acting is, what's the use? In the end, it can only be used as a background board on one side." Vespa complained to the sky, but in the end he did it.

"My handsome man..." Vespa was cut off just as he spoke.

"Don't play it to me," said Ilfarin, pointing to Romimus. "Play it to her."

"Huh?" Romimos and Vespa questioned at the same time.

"Concentrate and experience this feeling well." Ilfarin said to Romemos, "This is the most original sexual expression in the bones of human beings."

What does the origin of human beings have to do with me, Romimos gritted his teeth and hated in his heart.Why should humans drag her into the water when they make up stories because they are animals that think on the lower body?

"My beautiful lover, my docile and lovely bird..." Vespa resumed his performance, addressing Romimos.Although a little narrow-minded and grudge-loving, Vesper is actually a very good and dedicated actress, both in terms of acting experience and emotional experience, which is much richer than Romi Moss. Bad luck bumped into a stumbling block like Romemos, and she should have a very bright future.

Compared with the embarrassment of Romemos stuttering and not even being able to read his lines smoothly, Vespa was obviously much more relaxed when he acted this part.

"Please touch my shoulder and let me be the lead that ignites your inner passion..."

While whispering softly, Vesper suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Romimos' wrist, and at the same time, his body moved closer to her, and his face was pressed against her intimately.

Romimos shuddered all over, trying to hide back reflexively.

Vespa's hand ran up her arm like a feather, gently cupping Romimos' face.

"Please kiss my red lips..."

She continued to act, while slowly raising her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, as if she was infinitely shy, until she met Romimos' eyes.

Vespa knew very well that Romimos had a beautiful face, but she had never seen it so closely.

Although looking from a distance is not a way to appreciate the beautiful scenery, the beauty of Romemos is the kind of impeccable masterpiece that can still make you sigh even when two people are face to face.

How could there be such a beautiful and flawless person?Again, Vespa couldn't help thinking, this was a miracle.

It seemed a reward to see her with both eyes, and it was a red-faced honor to be looked at by her eyes.

Vespa became a little upset, her heartbeat gradually became chaotic and noisy, and even her ears began to buzz.

"Kiss my lips, you will get more intense satisfaction than conquering a country." Because Vespa paused for a long time and did not make another move, Romimos thought she had forgotten the following words, and reminded her aloud road.

"Yes. Please kiss me, I will be more satisfied than conquering a country..." Vespa read absently, and his eyes subconsciously scanned the lower half of Romimos' face.

The two lips are as dazzling as rubies, and even the fine lines on them are lovely and just right. If there is anything not so perfect on this face, there is only a small round mole at the corner of the lips.

However, even this mole, probably because it grew on Romemos's face, has become as charming as the moon. Vespa can't call it a defect, but it seems to be under a spell. His gaze stayed there for a long time, unable to extricate himself, staring fascinatedly at it, which flickered and shone with the movement of Romimos speaking.

"It's not that 'I' is satisfied, it's that 'you' is satisfied." Romemos corrected her mispronounced lines, "It's 'Please kiss me—' Woohoo! Ah!"

Romemos suddenly pushed Vespa away, her strength was much stronger than Vespa imagined, and Vespa sat down on the ground before he could react.

"I'm sorry, but, but you should have said something in advance when you do this kind of thing... I didn't mean it..." Romimos was at a loss, his tongue couldn't use it, he spoke incoherently for a long time, and finally fled, "Nah I'm sorry, Miss Querry, I'll take half a day off today!"

"Ah?" Before Naquili had time to speak, Romemos had long since disappeared, so he could only utter two words, "Okay..."

The rest of the people left were all stunned, and it took a long time before they all turned their heads to look at Vesper in unison.

Vespa wiped his lips and stood up from the ground with his usual expression: "Could it be that we captured a fake Romimos back?"

In fact, until thousands of years later, unless they were scholars with a certain in-depth understanding of history, most people still had the image of a seductive woman who was good at deceiving people when they mentioned Romimos.

"Really, this kind of rumor has been circulating for thousands of years. In a certain way, human beings are really immutable and hopeless." Antonia complained in a low voice, "Okay, let's get here today, and tomorrow we continue."

"Ah, get out of class is over so soon." Aragorn stretched his waist and put away his books and stationery. "Aren't you leaving, Miss Antonia?"

"I'll prepare for tomorrow's class, and then I'll leave after cleaning the classroom." Antonia waved her hand, indicating that Aragorn didn't care.

"What about you, Lord Glorfindel?" Aragorn asked again.

"I helped Antonia pack her things a bit, and I'll be leaving soon," Glorfindel also said.

"Really? Then I'll stay and help." Aragorn felt a little embarrassed.

"No, no, there's not much to tidy up, right, Antonia?" Glorfindel looked at Antonia.

Antonia also looked at Aragorn: "If you have so much free time, Your Highness, I can leave more homework."

"what?"

"I can do it too." Glorfindel made up the knife in time, "It's still early today, so it shouldn't be a problem to practice a few hundred more swings."

"Since I don't need help, I'll leave first." Aragorn made a decisive decision and slipped away.

As soon as Aragorn left, the room seemed to suddenly become quiet and empty.Romimos pretended to take the feather duster and dust it here and there, without even looking at Glorfindel.

Glorfindel just watched her fuss about, and didn't expose her right away.

Glorfindel cleared his throat only after Romimus covered the face of the bust in the corner with chicken feathers for the third time: "So..."

"Ok?"

"Did that girl really kiss you?"

"Oh, do you care?" As soon as the words came out, Romemos found that his tone was too high, as if she was complacent about it, and hurriedly coughed twice, "Anyway, it's a girl. Child, it doesn't matter if you get kissed, right?"

It's true, it's better to be kissed by the same sex than by the opposite sex.But in a situation like Romemos, can women be considered the same gender to her?Glorfindel thought.However, judging from the fact that Romimos has repeatedly chosen to use a woman's body, her own self-identity should indeed be more biased toward women...

"Besides, I'm a professional actor with professionalism. If the development of the plot really needs and is reasonable, there is no way to act in a kissing scene." Romimos finally found a blind spot that hadn't been swept away. ——The top of the bookcase, and immediately ran over with small steps.

It’s true to say so, and you should express your understanding based on emotion and reason, but this kind of thing about Romemos makes people feel a little bit hard to let go, no, no, it can’t be said to be hard to let go, it should be said to be incredible .Although Romemos is a bastard who doesn't care about anything, but as Maia, he has never been very interested in the relationship between men and women.

"It sounds like you have a lot of experience later on."

"Hmm, it's okay." In fact, most of the time, it's just a matter of borrowing a seat for show.Romimos stood on tiptoe, the cabinet was a bit high for her, "After all, I have performed nearly a hundred times just before and after the official stage, how could I still be so awkward, although it is only an act in the end, so I can't I have a lot of experience, but if I face this situation now, I am completely used to it, and I will not make a fuss like I did at the beginning..."

Still unable to reach the innermost part, Romemos withdrew her hand, intending to take a half step back and try again, but as soon as she lifted her back, she bumped into something, and she subconsciously turned around——

Glorfindel was behind her, and was about to reach for the duster in her hand. He probably didn't expect Romimus to turn around suddenly, and he stood there for a while, because the two of them are so close now The distance between breaths was shortened to only a few inches in an instant.

Romemos felt his brain explode with a bang.

"What are you doing all of a sudden?!" she yelled.

"I saw you were out of reach and wanted to help." Glorfindel replied innocently, "Didn't you hear me coming?"

"You know that my hearing is only at the level of a human being, and I can't hear the sound of elves walking at all!"

"I'm so sorry," said Glorfindel, sounding insincere to Romimus. "You were so frightened? Your face turned red."

"That's the sunset." Romimos said pretending to be calm, while pinching his earlobe with his hands.

Glorfindel was about to say something more, but Aragorn's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Miss Antonia? Have you left yet? I'm coming back to get a book. Hey, you——"

With a bang, the feather duster in Romemos' hand flew out and hit Aragorn's face impartially.

"Ah! Your Highness, I'm sorry, I accidentally lost my hand just now." Antonia pushed Glorfindel away with a slap, and ran to Aragorn in panic, "Are you alright?"

"Ahem!" Aragorn coughed repeatedly from the dust, "Hey...it's okay. But I just saw—"

"You read it wrong." Antonia interrupted him in a very sure tone, "It's a hallucination caused by being hit on the head."

"Really?" Aragorn was dubious.

"Yes." Antonia said firmly, "I've finished cleaning the classroom too, and I'll leave first if I have nothing else to do."

"Ah? Oh, see Miss Antonia tomorrow." Aragorn and Glorfindel watched Antonia leave quickly without looking back.

"What did you say you saw just now?" Glorfindel asked after Antonia's figure disappeared.

Aragorn shook his head like a rattle: "It's an illusion, I saw it wrong, there is nothing."

Glorfindel smiled at him with a kind face: "Okay, what are you still doing standing there stupidly? Get your things and go."
