Sur ma peau

11.

"What if I refuse?" Minos didn't accept immediately, but asked while clasping his hands.Rose de France had already calculated everything, and Minos was not even sure that if he enforced the original plan, there would be any worse variables behind.

The flower is so ugly.

"To die together is not a romantic thing." Yabofika said, still maintaining the posture of handing flowers, seeing that the other party did not intend to accept, showing a bit distressed, "Don't you like it?"

"Not at all." Minos was not a person who liked flowers and plants in the first place, let alone such a perfunctory gift, without sincerity.They stared at each other, and the messages hidden in each other's eyes were not as soft as their surface actions.If it weren't for the current situation, Minos really wanted to try the opponent's skills.

"I don't need to pursue the fact that you wanted to kill me," Yabofika said lightly, "and more than once." On the night of his arrest, he did not make a mistake, but someone handed over the letter of reply directly to the charlie.The person he invited went to bed early that night until woken up.

"You betrayed me." The earl's eyes did not have the affection of a lover at all, but were as sharp as his words.

Hearing such an accusation, Minos paused imperceptibly, and then laughed indifferently, "Yes."

"Why should I trust you, Captain of the Dragoons, Your Highness Abfika Sewell." Minos' voice was very soft, almost only remaining between his lips.

Sword of Kingship.

The Dragoons and the Bastille, the two weapons used to maintain the absolute monarchy since the Sun King era.Up to now, the light cavalry in red uniforms that should protect the royal power have not yet appeared, and the two armies mobilized by the king are all mercenaries.The red dress at the New Year's Ball and the national flower embroidery on the clothes are taboos that cannot be overstepped on formal occasions. Apart from the king, only the head of the dragoon regiment can wear it like this.

"I'm not your enemy," Abafica said.

"Won't be my friend either." Minos continued.But Minos knew that he had failed, and his unsteady determination was disturbed by such a disturbance, and it was difficult to condense for the time being. Besides, in the square outside the Bastille, the people's slogans and sporadic gunfire even hit the towering city wall. Can't stop it.You come and go between the two, and they all keep their voices down. It seems that the whispers between lovers are actually the shadow of swords and swords.

"For France." The light blue pupils became slightly darker, and the earl's words were serious and could not be rejected.

Minos took the rose a moment later and slipped it into the pocket of his coat. "For France," he said.

A war-free flag was hung on the outer wall of the Bastille. The drawbridge outside the gate was slowly lowered, and a figure walked out of it slowly. It was not the black uniform of the Bastille guards, but the blue and gold of the royal family.

"Citizens of France, I am Abfika Sewell, brother of the king, Count Ploin." Abfika's voice was not high, but she spoke clearly and steadily.

The voices of people in the square gradually faded, allowing his words to spread farther.

"You are here today, and the equality, freedom, and rights you are calling for are exactly what I am also pursuing. Therefore, I thank you." Formal etiquette, the girl standing at the front handed Yabofeika a representative The revolutionary red, white and blue three-color paper flower, he thanked in a low voice and pinned it on his left chest, "France has progressed to this day, the old system can no longer make the kingdom develop healthily, we need a brighter road, let everyone All have the same equal rights and work together for the future of the country.”

"People are born free, but the premise of this freedom is not to harm other people. Life is equal. There is no difference between the people standing next to you and the people opposite you. They are all citizens of France, even It may be your relatives, friends, or neighbors, and your weapons should not be aimed at each other, nor should they be stained with the blood of your compatriots."

"I will go to Versailles to persuade my brothers and resolve the misunderstanding between each other. In the meantime, please destroy the Bastille for freedom, for no longer being restricted by speech, and for the equal right to live." People His rage needs an outlet, and this symbol of royal despotism should have been dismantled long ago. "The Guards are with you." Two detachments of the Guards, which had been stationed in Paris a week before, were now scattered among the masses, assisting and guiding them.

The temporarily requisitioned carriage passed through the crowd and stopped in front of Yabofika. Before getting into the carriage, he turned around and placed a kiss on the cheek of Minos who was following him.

"Are you taking me as a hostage to stay in Paris?" Minos asked lazily, with a soft voice that could not be discerned from the distance between the guards and the crowd.

Announce this false relationship to the world as part of the bargaining chip.

"Robespierre hasn't revealed your identity to anyone else yet," Abefica said.

"You fear they will kill me and keep me hostage," concluded Minos.

"Ah."

Really, use it thoroughly.

"Your Highness, a normal lover in this situation shouldn't behave like you." Minos suddenly wrapped his arms around Yabofika's waist, and stroked her cheek, "Don't resist." The kiss was not sealed yet The words that came out, the tip of the tongue traced the lip line, and then pried open the white teeth, drove straight in, and plundered like venting anger, fierce but without warmth.

On July 7, the garrisons of Versailles and Paris were withdrawn, the siege of Paris was lifted, and the remaining guards took over the demolition of the Bastille; on the 15th, the royal family recalled Necker; on the 16th, the king announced his acceptance to represent the revolution red white and blue tricolor flag.

And Minos had already left Paris, arrived at the Supreme Court in Troyes, and resumed his post.

The three powers are separated, and verbal promises are more effective than actual power.From the moment Abefica left the Bastille, he had no intention of staying in Paris.

Just like he didn't intend to go to the Yinfang appointment at the beginning.

Delicacy and beauty do not come from weakness, but from determination and perseverance.
