Sur ma peau

18.

Different from the hasty and casual meal the night before, the butler arranged the earl's first dinner in the mansion with great care. It was the first time that Minos knew that his family's dishes could be so rich.According to etiquette, Yabo Fika eats the same portion of each dish on the plate in sequence, and it is not clear whether it is a favorite or out of etiquette.The meals and personal belongings of the nobles in the Bastille are directly responsible and subsidized by the royal family. Minos has never paid attention to the so-called due treatment due to his status, but what is certain is that fortunately he does not only live on salary, otherwise the The meager salary is not enough for the earl's food expenses.

Pets that are too expensive are not something you can afford if you want to keep them.Looking at the silks and gems on the other's dinner dress, Minos silently re-liquidated his assets.

This sense of crisis of lack of money became more serious after getting the list of property brought by the other party's chief financial officer. The documents brought by the chief financial officer and the attendants piled up half the table. Three notaries, several lawyers and the accompanying attendants Almost occupied the other side of the long table.A document passed by the two of them in turn, with their signatures and fingerprints on them.There are quite a lot of things under the earl's name, but the book can only maintain a barely balanced balance, and there is not much funds for activities.It was God's favor to not go bankrupt, no, it was the king's favor, and the amount of reward allocated to the earl's name every year can be regarded as generous.

Minos stopped writing, flexed and stretched his numb fingers, and wrote his name hundreds of times in a row. He almost didn't know the letters. "I hope to sell these manors and use them for investment." He pulled out a few properties that had suffered a lot of losses and had no practical use, and said.

"You have the right to dispose." Yabofika didn't seem to care much about the fixed assets under his name, and easily gave up the power.

There are also some useless jewels, horses and hunting gardens that maintain the aristocratic ostentation, and they are confirmed and dealt with one by one.Jabofika should fire his treasurer, stupid and old-fashioned, and Minos can't help but wonder if he's made the wrong decision, putting a huge nuisance in the door.

It took nearly an hour to settle the Yabofika share, and Minos opened his account book. Although it was not as rich as the earl's family property, at least the working capital was much better than the other party's.

"No need, let's sign it." The notary lawyer had already prepared the document, and Yabofika signed the name first, with complicated cursive characters and a bit sharp at the end of the pen. His real handwriting was just like Minos earliest conclusions.

After receiving the document handed over by the other party, Minos paused for a few seconds after picking up the pen, and then wrote his name after that name.The smell of burning wax dissipated, and the earl's seal and the seal of the Gelfin family fell one by one, and finally they were connected by the seal of the royal notary.

The certificates in triplicate were handed over to the three parties, and Minos put them in his account books, the earl's copy was handed over to the treasurer, and the notary took the last copy back to Versailles.

What happened that night was like a fantasy, and the sense of unreality did not dissipate until before going to bed.The other party changed the perfume, and the newly selected smell was soft and warm, which made people feel close and relaxed, and covered up the dangerous thorns on the body.There was no rejection this time, and Minos fell into a trance and fell into a deep sleep after a while.

A night without dreams.

When he opened his eyes again, the sunlight had passed through the glass window of the bedroom, drawing golden slashes in the room.The difference is that the people beside him haven't left yet.

"No plans for today?" He asked lazily, probably because of trust, that's why he slept so deeply, and he didn't even feel when the other party woke up.

"I don't want to miss the morning I spent with you." Yabofika replied in a flat tone.

It should be touching to hear the beauty on his bed say that, but at this moment Minos wants to kick her down even more.

"Your Highness, has anyone told you that you need to look at the other person to talk about love?" Minos turned over and covered him under him, and took away the paper book that ruined the atmosphere from the other person's hand, "I suspect that you want to spend more time with work. early morning."

"Look at me." She stroked the side of the opponent's face with her hand, and slowly rubbed the tear mole at the corner of her eye with her thumb.Those blue eyes, the reaction of the pupils dilated slightly, are so cute, they are so beautiful that they want to dig them out and keep them for themselves.

Among the four swindlers in the Bastille, two of them were convicted of cheating people out of their money by playing tricks on the scene of love. Minos had dealt with them for two years, and sweet words were nothing but easy things.

"Your eyes seem to have the whole sky in them."

Hope to fly.

Rationality, passion and desire make up the soul, but the person in front of him has no need for material desires, no occasional emotions, only the perfection of reason.It is not that the soul is missing, but that passion and desire are suppressed with reason and restraint, like an angel with pinned wings, carrying a cross on his back.

Self-imprisonment and longing for freedom, such contradictory beauty is the real attraction.

I want to break the shackles for him, and see the true posture of the soul in this body.

"Thank you for your compliment." After a brief moment of stupefaction, Yabofika gradually closed her eyes with a smile, grabbed the hand resting on the side of her face, pressed the kiss on the back of her hand, and let each syllable roll over clearly Tongue, "I'm going to hate that time goes by so fast that we have to part and you're going to be late, Your Honor."

With a low curse, Minos turned over and got out of bed in an instant, and ran to the bathroom with his slippers on. How could he forget that this was a cactus that was about to be stabbed when it crossed the border.

After Minos hurriedly grabbed his coat and rushed out of the room, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away, Yabofika said to the servant who came in to help change the dress: "Return to the previous perfume and essential oil."

The incense used to soothe the emotions has a hypnotic effect, and the dosage gradually deepened day after day. He was already used to it when he was in the territory, and it didn't have much effect. When he changed it suddenly, it had a profound impact on the person next to the pillow.

Minos, who has been working on the critical line all year round, fell across the boundary for the first time and encountered being late for the first time in his life.
