Proposed by the most beautiful you in the world [Comprehensive]

The Count of Monte Cristo seems to have an indescribable bond with "himself".

The human self ran into the heroic self. They are the same person on the same timeline. Therefore, they will leave without hesitation in a short period of time with affectionate love and watch it together.

Counting it to the Heroic Spirit himself, it is equivalent to watching the same scene twice.

Well, time goes further, and after countless years of bleakness, the heroic spirit who endured the burning anger in his heart at this moment finally got his beloved back before going completely mad.

But, in this world where they meet again.

Unfortunately, there is another "Count of Monte Cristo".

Although, the Count of Monte Cristo here has not yet become the Count of Monte Cristo-a matter of time, in the year they arrived, the Edmond Dantès of this world had not yet been born.

Although, in the final analysis, the Count of Monte Cristo here is just him in a parallel world, with completely different experiences, memories and feelings.

but……

—It is clear indeed, differently, that I and this 'Edmund' are real, not the same person.

——But the clearer it is, the more angry and uneasy I feel.

Not wanting to be distracted from "him" by other guys with the same name, thoughts, attention.Even the slightest bit is unbearable.

He is such a twisted man, just "contradictory" is not enough to describe it.Just because before this, the one-sided blind pursuit that seemed to never reach the end and never get a response caused the dark emotions to slowly accumulate, and the quality turned into jealousy, which made him angry, and then vented his anger to the only thing that could be used. In the memory of remembering, the "self" who does not yet know the future and is immersed in fear and happiness with peace of mind.

Still need to hide.

On the surface, everything is as usual, trying not to let the sour mud flow out of the pupils of the eyes, otherwise "he" will find out, let "him" down, and make "him" question.However, in the process of hiding, there were still thorns unconsciously born, which turned into words against his will, and pierced deeply into that person's heart——

……

……

"..."

"I feel it. Angry—really, angry. For the first time in years that I've had more mood swings."

Hearing these words suddenly, the Count of Monte Cristo, who had no expression on the surface but was actually ups and downs in his inner world, was taken aback for a moment. Immediately, countless bitter tastes rushed down his throat to the tip of his tongue.

Sure enough, he was discovered by "he"?

I found the anger that couldn't be concealed in his eyes, and the jealousy that was unimaginable in the human Edmond Dantès.

It's hard to imagine how complicated Edmund felt when he realized this.He had nothing to say, and he was even more self-defeating. When Ellie looked up, he even had the urge to laugh out loud——

"Edmund, why... am I wrong all of a sudden? Or, did something interesting happen in addition?"

Ellie bit his tongue, and it hurt, before he concocted a less offensive line-God knows, he almost said "Edmund, you laugh so horribly that you scared me".

The summary of the previous situation is very simple and can be summed up in a few sentences.

Airlie had just learned that there was actually an Edmund Dantès in this world, and that the Edmund Dantès here was extraordinarily innocent. He was killed by an "outsider" when he was only a teenager.

After a long, long silence, he put the last piece of information back into the file bag.

very angry.

It can even be said to be "very angry".

"This feeling of grabbing my heart fiercely, as if all the blood in my body was rushing to my head, making me dizzy and out of breath, is it really 'angry', right?" He asked Edmund for advice, and in After getting an affirmative answer, he nodded heavily.

"Other than that, it feels very..."

The following description was a bit unreliable, and Ellie paused for a long time before deciding not to speak.

The fact is as said, there are very few other emotions in his heart other than the simplest joy and surprise.

Even if he scolds him, insults him, hurts him, or even kills him in the most extreme way, he will not hate him, nor will he complain in his heart. What was wrong, what was said wrong, that led to such a tragic ending.

So, really the first time.

Feeling "angry" sincerely, Ellie picked up the file bag and put it down again. After a while, he frowned and picked it up again, holding it tightly in his hand, his wrist couldn't help but sink, as if carrying a heavy weight weight.

"That 'outsider' is more extreme than I imagined."

A person who has never been angry or lost his temper, suddenly has such a strange emotion, and it appears on the calm and delicate face before, unexpectedly, it does not affect the beauty, but because of this extra freshness The living humanity is even more touching.

When he first learned about the actions of the "outsider" from Alayashi, Ellie was already feeling a little uncomfortable. It is really hard to accept that his behavior and thoughts have washed away the three views.

Seeing the name Edmund Dantès at last gave a breakthrough to his already suppressed emotions. He finally couldn't hold back and couldn't control his strength, so he patted the file bag again desktop.

"Even if the innocent boy killed by him was not Edmund, but anyone else, I would say so."

"Murting people without any grudges, plundering everything that should belong to them, benefiting oneself, and stepping into a height that would never be reached in one fell swoop. I have seen human beings who meet this standard in the past, but I have never been able to understand them Why do you do this... I see now that it is, without a doubt, the most stupid - most suicidal act!"

After finishing such a long paragraph in one breath, Ellie still couldn't control the strange and strong irritability in his heart.

After throwing down the file bag, he moved away from the desk, and began to circle the study involuntarily. It could be seen that his mood was quite unstable.

While walking around chaotically, he kept muttering to himself: "How could—how could there be such a human being who makes me angry?" This question made him even more difficult to understand, and he couldn't find it at all. The answer, so that after earning a few laps, the already bad mood became even more gloomy.

"You... stop!"

Edmund didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief, or to be depressed that Airlie's focus was not on him.All in all, he couldn't watch Ellie continue to spin anymore, he reached out his hand suddenly, just in time to grab Ellie who was spinning not far away, and pulled hard——

And this pull directly pulled Ellie, who almost made himself dizzy, directly in front of him.

"Well!"

"..."

The two bumped into each other firmly.

"There's no need to be angry about the scum." The man who was hit hard on the chest didn't seem to feel any pain, and he continued speaking after a short pause.His voice is colder than ever before, and this coldness is naturally aimed at outsiders who don't want to be referred to as humans.

"Being able to do these disgusting things has already shown that that guy is just a superficial and greedy idiot. Don't need to care, and don't need to be angry. On the day he shows up, kill and clear—just like crossing There is no need to lower your head to waste your sight when you pass the obstructive ashes piled up in front of the door."

"..."

"understand?"

"……Understood."

"..."

"However, I still can't help being angry."

"why?"

"Then again, even if the person killed wasn't Edmund, I would still be so angry. But—in this world, among the innocent dead, there is indeed one who has neither gained nor lost anything. Edmund."

When Edmund was caught off guard, Ellie suddenly hugged him with his backhand. Unlike the hug he patted on the back not long ago and then let go, he hugged him directly this time, and buried his face in the man, who smelled slightly of tobacco. In front of his shirt, the voice was muffled after a layer of separation.

"The Edmund here is still so young... Ah, even though he is not the Edmund I knew, met, and now embraced by me, I am still, very unhappy."

"........."

Where he couldn't see, the black shadow cast on Edmund's face first spread, and then, because of the change in his voice, it suddenly became a little strangely brighter.

"That's right, 'he' and I are not the same person."

Edmund seemed to be emphasizing something. While speaking, his hands hanging stiffly by his side moved slightly. After pondering, he finally raised them slowly and slowly.

He also put his hand on Ellie's back, but unlike Ellie's choice, he only touched it very lightly—or his fingertips didn't even touch the white holy clothes, and he twitched. hands left.

"It's still the same sentence, don't worry about it, just treat it as the ashes that get in the way, clear it away, and then just step over it."

"……All right."

"Today...no, tonight."

"Ok?"

Edmund only uttered a few words succinctly: "An engagement banquet for outsiders."

Airlie suddenly said: "Yes, you said, it will start tonight."

He let go of Edmund immediately, and unconsciously cheered up.Airlie is such an easy-to-understand and easy-to-handle person. As long as you find him something important to do at the moment, his attention will generally be diverted.

"I'm going to show up, right? Dress, dress, what are you going to wear?"

Edmund: "..."

For some reason, Mr. Earl turned his head away and let out a thick breath from between his teeth.

"You can dress however you want."

So he replied.

*****

The arrival of the Count of Monte Cristo was the first event that disturbed Longbourne.

The count of Monte Cristo spent a lot of money—no, ten thousand dollars, even more—the ball that the Count of Monte Cristo had planned was the second.

So, for now, the third major event has arrived.

Not only did it cause a great shock up and down Longbourne, but this extremely rare anecdote spread all over the place at a flying speed.As small as the nearest small town, as large as the capital London, which requires a long journey in a carriage to reach—especially in the circle of nobles, everyone knows this.

The Count of Monte Cristo claimed to hold an engagement banquet for a month, which had already begun a few days ago.

Logically speaking, the earl's engagement banquet is still open to everyone, but the incomparably shocking ostentation, the luxurious details in every corner, and the resplendent lights of the palace are enough to make the gangsters who want to come in as usual to take advantage of it know their status The civilians who are far from enough are deterred and dare not step in.

Therefore, most of the people who arrived on the first night were local gentry and petty nobles and their families from Longbourne.

Because of this, it was on the night when the engagement banquet just started that the people of Longbourne were astonished to find that the Count of Monte Cristo was richer than they had imagined, and his status was even higher.

The guests who did not receive the invitation, but traveled a long way to come to the banquet-what noble ladies and gentlemen!

Although the news of the earl's engagement spread very quickly, most of the interested guests could not arrive at the scene within a day.

When the crisp bells from the distant church, cut off by the outer walls of the vast manor, crossed the darkened night sky and landed before the fountain at the main entrance, the distinguished guests who could not come on the day, of course they still came, It's just that the couriers and carriages carrying precious gifts and celebration letters arrived one step ahead of them.

At that time, Mrs. Bennet had already arrived in the hall, surrounded by the familiar ladies in the past, talking loudly, her voice full of joy and pride was so high that it even vaguely seemed to overshadow the piano.

Surprisingly, no one complained about it in public, but listened with gusto.Only Mr. Bennet, who was also far away and in another encirclement, cast an unbearable but unbearable speechless gaze from across the air.

"Oh—yes! I still can't believe that the honor of being acquainted with the countess, and even sitting at the same table, has fallen to us!"

Mrs. Bennet was so radiant, as if she had received the mercy of God, and all the spirit of youth returned to her face.

It is not surprising that such a miraculous phenomenon occurs. After all, within two days, the biggest trouble that made Mrs. Bennet sleepless has been quietly solved.Although she was still a little far from her greatest expectations-the Count of Monte Cristo failed to fall in love with any of her daughters at first sight, it was already certain that the daughters would have a good home.

She is indeed a woman who lacks self-awareness, ignorance, and a little greed. However, after being dazed for a while, Mrs. Bennet heard the report from her daughter who returned from the dinner, and her confused nerves were immediately stimulated. woke up.

The Earl is indeed not something she can hope for, he is an acquaintance of the "Master Envoy", and even—— husband?

Mrs. Bennet did not pay attention to the question of why the "Master Angel", who is obviously male, became the Countess. Her brain circuit was extremely simple and clear: what is an angel, and God sent it to bring them Angel of happiness, how can you apply the rules of mortals to an angel whose beauty transcends gender boundaries.

In the same way, the earl who has a close relationship with the "God Envoy" is probably not human anymore.

Please believe that Mrs. Bennet, who is sober, will not be attached to a man who is absolutely impossible to attract as a son-in-law, because, although she is a bit greedy, her love for her children is not to say that all are equal, but it is also genuine.

Reason quickly overcame reluctance, and Bennett's mentality readjusted, and he began to look forward to the "Master Angel" fulfilling his true promise and showing off at the earl and countess' engagement banquet It's been an amazing experience.

"Where did you just say? Oh yes, thank you for reminding... The countess, who just came to Longbourn, encountered a little trouble on the way and just stopped at the gate of our manor. My dear sir, the first Time has helped the lady—yes, that's how I got acquainted."

Fortunately, in the process of eloquence, she hasn't let out the details that she must never say because she is too proud. Even Mrs. Bennet, who is as stupid as Mrs. Bennett, knows that some things can't be said, and once said, it will bring joy to her and her family Big trouble.

Therefore, the final export is the content that vaguely omitted most of the details.

"It's so lucky, why didn't the Countess's carriage stop at the door of my house?"

The lady who said these sour words had a slight problem with Mrs. Bennett before, because she once satirized the ladies of the Bennett family quite bluntly at the party that they might not be able to marry.

Mrs. Bennet didn't bother to talk to her, so she raised her head high.

"Mrs. Bennet, since you have had a relationship with the future... no, the present countess, do you know her..."

Finally, a lady asked the question that everyone wanted to know the most. With an undisguised expectation of gossip, she whispered: "The rumors circulating outside are too confusing. It is said that the Countess is an ordinary civilian. , an aristocratic lady who doesn't understand etiquette due to the death of her parents, or, simply a man—"

That last guess is horrible.How can it be?

Everyone said that with their eyes.

"Uh……"

They didn't realize that Mrs. Bennet choked inexplicably when she was asked the key point.

She forcibly skipped the truth, and instead praised the amazing beauty of the "Countess" loudly, as well as her identities that were definitely not on the same level as them, successfully attracting everyone's strong interest.

However, before their conversation was over, there was a sudden commotion at the gate.

The conversation stopped, and the sound of the piano was almost interrupted again. All the guests, including Mrs. Bennett, turned to the door with curious eyes. With just one glance, they saw the waiting staff lined up to welcome them. , so many nobles who they have never seen before and have no chance to see, or their envoys.

For example, Colonel XX who came in a hurry, the medals on his military uniform are genuine, not to mention how dazzling they are.

There are also viscounts, earls, and dukes from London... In the past, I always felt that they were envoys sent by the nobles who lived in the sky. They all came to the banquet scene in advance with sincere smiles that seemed to come from the heart, and went upstairs to meet with them. Even though the banquet has begun, the arrogant Count of Monte Cristo, who has not yet appeared in front of the guests, meets.

The most frightening thing was that among them—there were even His Majesty's envoys!

It is said that the Count of Monte Cristo dedicated a unique ruby ​​to His Majesty the King not long ago. Before that, even if he chose in the royal treasure house, he could not choose a treasure more precious than this gem.

This honor can only be obtained by the Count of Monte Cristo, who is clearly a foreigner.

"........."

Seeing this terrible scene, everyone in Longbourn present opened their mouths wide open. From now on, they will never be able to close their mouths again.

……

When the door knocked, the bedroom belonging to the owner of the manor was extremely quiet.

Of course, this quietness is compared to the lobby on the first floor, and you can still hear faint rustling sounds when you go deep into the room.

Through the veil hanging in front of the window, the gaze finally stops on the full-length mirror that reaches the floor.The two silhouettes reflected in the mirror overlapped under the touch, only the shadow of the man in the front was the clearest, and there were no wrinkles in any corner of the clothes.

"Is it time?"

Ellie, who was standing sideways, looked at the mirror that did not reflect his own figure, and there was still a little appreciation on his lips—no, it should be a gratified smile.

Although he didn't speak out his heart, Mr. Earl, who happened to catch a glimpse of the strange expression on his face, penetrated his thoughts very keenly.

What is Ellie thinking?

The answer is simple.

The first time I saw Edmund was in a dirty prison, so of course I saw dirty prisoners.The Avenger Edmund who appeared later was dressed neatly, but... well... it felt different.

He longed to see Edmund in his former glory.

Even if you can imagine it, you still want to see it with your own eyes.Because, he missed the time when he should have been guarding the master's side, probably to make up for his regret.

I always feel that although the current Heroic Spirit Edmund does not admit that he also has that "lifetime", there is no doubt...

That's right - he didn't feel anything bad about Edmund's current attire at all, please don't misunderstand this point.

Edmund himself had indeed guessed exactly what Airlie was thinking.

However, the corners of his mouth moved slightly because of his complex mood, and he was silent for a while, but finally he didn't say much, and only said in a flat tone: "It's almost there, let's go."

That's right, until now, the host of the engagement banquet is planning to go out.

The "Count" who received the envoys and distinguished guests was a dummy created by magic, and it was completely flawless to fool ordinary people without magic power.The Earl himself emphasized rather disdainfully that now he has no interest in flirting with others, and it would be good to fool the past.

That's right, they are all heroic spirits after all.

"Okay, let's go... Huh? Wait for Edmund."

Before the figure of the man left the mirror, Ellie noticed something missing with sharp eyes, and suddenly stopped him.

There was a slight doubt in Edmund's eyes, and he subconsciously turned his gaze downward.However, as soon as he lowered his head, Ellie's hand reached out.

——The young man who stayed at a very close distance also lowered his head slightly, his hair had the color of the sea that sailors would always yearn for, and let the lingering sea water flow down his neck until it reached his body.

Even the vengeful ghost who reappears in the world can be slightly modified when necessary.

He was wearing a dark black tight-fitting aristocratic dress, with boots running along the black trousers to his knees, with a white shirt inside, and under the double-teaming of a dark vest, he showed a meticulous aristocratic elegance.

That's what it looks like.There are only two colors in his whole body, black and white. The white one is the shirt, the cut-out square scarf clipped on the collar of the shirt, and the white hair that does not cover the sharp and indifferent eyes, but falls loose from the side.

"It feels like something is missing...the color is too monotonous."

In fact, Airlie, whose own aesthetics are quite bad, re-examined Mr. Earl's attire, and as expected, he was pondering and came to the above conclusion.

Edmund: "..."

Speaking of monotony, it seems to be a little bit.But for me, there is nothing wrong with being monotonous.

He was about to say that he didn't need to worry about these details, but before he could speak, Ellie finally came up with a solution after holding his chin for a while.

He actually raised his hand and pulled off the ribbon that was originally tied around his neck.

Among the blue ribbons were dotted diamonds like broken stars. He picked up Edmund's slightly long white hair and neatly tied it up sideways.After letting go, the bristling white hair was tightly attached to the earl's pale collar.

Although due to the limited length of a man's hair, only a small section of condensed white hair was exposed under the knot...

"Look for yourself, will it look better than before?"

"..."

"fine."

"It's okay." Ellie smiled, "Then let's go quickly. I—"

The hands that tied the man's headband loosened under the man's deep gaze, and fell back to their original positions.

Airlie turned himself half a circle with dexterous movements not restricted by heavy clothes, lifted the delicate long dress that almost all the ladies envied, but made them daunting, and walked towards the door with a particularly brisk pace.

"Oh!"

He said he walked briskly, and he almost fell in Edmund's face.

"Cough... I realize now that walking in high heels is a battle that needs to be fought with full energy for every lady..."

Ellie, the heroic spirit who pursues perfection in everything she does, even the seemingly simple job of pretending to be the countess, must be done with due diligence.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to put on a dance skirt that was heavier than his own armor, and was surrounded by lace and satin, almost suffocating.

When Mr. Earl with a strange face wanted to dissuade him from going so hard, Ellie raised his lace-gloved hand and shook it resolutely: "No! Don't worry at all, I will get used to it soon, I have to Pass the test safely!"

Edmund: "..."

"Row."

Before walking out of the bedroom door, there was a short conversation.

"Will that 'outsider' appear at the banquet?"

"Of course, there is no need to doubt at all. Like the guy who has a strong desire for money and power, even if the evil thoughts in his heart have not officially grown, the bait is already in front of him, and he cannot not come."

"Well... very good."

"I already, can't wait to see him." Pausing in the corridor, the "Countess" said with emphasis.

The corner of Mr. Earl's mouth finally formed a smile that didn't contain a real smile.

"Then, my dear, my lady."

When he spoke again, his voice changed silently.

It covers the affection hidden deep in the soul of the French, as well as the restraint and restraint of the people of the country they step on.

"Can you put your fingertips in my palm, let's walk out of here together, into the hall of singing and dancing, the center of attention?"

Edmund's acting skills are really good, as if he changed a different person in a moment.

Thinking of this, the countess naturally refused to be outdone.

"Okay. If I don't get my footing when I go down the stairs, I'll beg you to catch me in time."

"No problem at all."

then.

He raised his left hand cooperatively so that Mr. Earl could easily hold him.
