[Beauty and the Beast] Rose Castle

I quickly hugged Lambert's snake neck, trying to pull his snake head off.However, it was a step too late, and the strong man's hearing was very keen. Almost the moment Lambert raised his head, he turned around, held up the oil lamp, and strode towards us: "Who is over there? Is it a monster or a beast? "

Lambert looked down at me, and the thick snake tail wrapped around my waist silently, round and round, as if trying to hide me in his body.He bowed his huge body and prostrated himself on the ground. He was a ferocious beast in a state of hunting, dormant in the dark blue bushes and grass, with two scarlet pupils like pigeon blood, staring vigilantly and coldly at the figure of the majestic man.

The majestic man seemed to have noticed something, while looking around, he squatted down halfway, put down the oil lamp in his hand, and lightly drew an arrow from the quiver, and put it on the longbow: "I know you are nearby, don't you dare?" Dare to come out to see me...you cowardly beast!" After the words fell, the cold wind rolled over the weeds not far away, making a rustling sound.The majestic man immediately turned around like lightning, aimed at that side, and shot an arrow with a "swoosh".His strength was enormous, after the arrow was inserted into the ground, the feathers on the tail of the arrow were still buzzing and trembling.

At this time, dots of flames suddenly appeared behind the majestic man, and those people rushed over from the hall holding torches.The thick darkness was dispelled, like an ominous omen.The majestic man took the torch, raised it high amidst the pale lightning, and shouted loudly: "Cowardly beast, I'll give you one last chance—if you don't come out, I'll set fire to this castle!"

The middle-aged man was taken aback, and quickly persuaded: "You, you must not do this..."

"Go away, bastard!"

The majestic man kicked him away impatiently, the spurs on the heel of his boots cut through the flesh of the middle-aged man, and blood spurted out, soaking his clothes.The middle-aged man didn't know that he was scratched by the spurs at first, until he saw the gurgling blood under the lightning, and cried out in panic.The majestic man didn't even look at him, and waved to those behind him: "Don't worry about this bastard, let's continue."

At the same time, lightning pierced the night again, illuminating the blood seeping into the cracks in the bluestone road.This scene is simply a scene from a nightmare.I lowered my head, looked at the tail of the snake that was tightly wrapped around me, and held my forehead, completely unable to imagine a way to get through this difficulty safely.

Although the majestic man is still some distance away from us, as long as he is not blind, it will be a matter of time before he finds me and Lambert.I looked at Lambert's snake head, and a burst of weakness surged up.

He met my gaze, covered the eyeballs with a film, and blinked like a human.Because the emotions and desires in the eyes are very single, the eyes look a little innocent.Thinking of the way he said "I don't like you" in a cold tone before, compared with his dependent and nostalgic eyes now, it's not funny.

I sighed lightly, and lightly stroked the scales of his snake tail.However, I don’t know where I touched him, and he suddenly became excited, like a pet pampered by the owner, the huge snake head approached, and the snake letter slipped out from between the flat lips, leaving sticky water marks on my face .I looked at him blankly, and raised my hand to wipe the drool off my face... When it was over, I didn't feel much resistance in my heart.My bottom line is really getting lower and lower.

Seeing that I was not disgusted, and did not teach him a lesson, he murmured twice, wrapped his snake tail tightly around my waist for a while, and rubbed my cheek lightly with the snake head for a while.He has no concept of how big he is. A snake head is as long as my upper body, and my hand can barely hold his snake beak... I can't bear his big coquettishness at all.Besides, his snake scales are too cold.It didn't take long before I couldn't help shivering, and my fingers were frozen into logs.But he was immersed in the pleasure of having fun, as if the snake's head was on fire, he twisted and twisted in my hand, humming and asking me to scratch him.

"..."

He was almost so worn out that he forgot the purpose of returning to the castle.I fixed his snake head and looked straight into his scarlet pupils: "You like me, right?"

After the words fell, I actually saw escape in a snake's face.His eyes became anxious, and the long snake tail moved away from my body, flicking back and forth impatiently.I didn't expect him to react like this. I frowned and continued to ask: "Since you like me and instinctively want to get close to me, why did you drive me away before?"

I thought that no matter how best he evaded this question as a beast, he would just wriggle around, but with a low growl, he actually got into the nearby woods.I started to follow, but he was faster than the cheetah, and disappeared into the depths of the dark blue forest in a short while.His black scales almost blended with the surrounding scenery, and I had no experience in hunting prey, so I lost his track immediately.

...I have never seen such a nasty snake!

I put on the hood of my cloak and looked around, wondering where to find him.Just when I was hesitating, the noise and footsteps approached, no, the movement just now must have attracted the attention of those people.There was a chill down my spine, and I was just about to squat down and hide in the bushes when there was a piercing sound, and severe pain came from my waist.I snorted and reached out to touch it, and it was full of viscous liquid that smelled like rust.Looking back, the arrow feathers were trembling under my eyes.I was bruised by an arrow.Damn it, why did the majestic men come so fast.

Big beads of cold sweat came out, I took a deep breath, and I wanted to go into the woods to find Lambert, but the strong men walked very fast, and in less than a moment, there were people around me. It was full of people.The majestic man walked up to me, pulled me up, and took off my cloak: "Women?" He paused, "Women are not at home doing laundry and cooking, what are you doing here?"

He tugged at my collar, and the clothes tightened around my chest and abdomen, just pressing on the wound.The pain caused tears to flow down my face, and I slapped his hand away vigorously: "Let go!"

But his arm was like cast iron, holding my collar firmly.As the wound became more and more painful, I didn't even have the strength to slap him.When he saw my tears, he didn't expect that I was crying because of his actions, and he carried me on his shoulder with one hand: "You are a thief, come to steal things in the castle?" He said to himself, "Courage It's so big... Many women screamed in fright when they heard that I was bringing them to the castle, and their legs were so weak that they couldn't walk. Did you know that there is a giant python here? This giant python has destroyed many fields and many people It's all because it can't afford to eat."

He clearly knew that the python in the castle was not the one that destroyed the fields.I wanted to refute him, but his shoulder armor was stuck on my stomach, and I was afraid that if I opened my mouth, I would spit it out in pain.

The majestic man put me on the floor of the colonnade and waved back.A man brought me medicine and bandages, and then stood there with a smile on my face, his eyes rolling around my face.Without saying a word, the strong man kicked him out, walked over and squatted down, and wanted to bandage my wound.

For the sake of the bandages and wound medicine he gave me, I shook my head without turning against him, and said weakly, "I'll do it myself."

The majestic man stood up and asked jokingly, "Women can also bandage wounds?" It seemed that in his eyes, it was strange for women to do anything other than screaming and washing and cooking.I didn't want to talk to him, and said in a low voice, "Please turn around." He didn't object.Frowning, I lifted my cloak, two layers of cloth already soaked in blood.Fortunately, the wound is not particularly large.After the action was quickly bandaged, I looked up at him.He turned his back on his back and muttered: "Where do you live? Does your family know that you came to steal things in the castle? Do you want me to take you back?"

"I'm not a thief."

He nodded disapprovingly: "Women are thin-skinned, I understand."

I finally understood what it was like for Lambert to talk to Ulysses.I leaned on the wall, stood up slowly, and said, "Thank you for giving me the medicine and bandages. This castle has an owner, so you go away quickly, don't stay like robbers."

"Is there a master? How did I hear that there are only beasts here?"

"It's just a rumor."

"Oh?" He laughed twice, looked back at me, walked over, and put one hand in front of me, "Do you want to tell me that this castle belongs to you, and you are imprisoned in the castle?" The princess in the movie..." At this point, his voice gradually became deep and hoarse, as if he was trying to confuse someone.

Looking closely at his facial features, I found that he does have the capital to be the girl's dream lover.He has deep eyebrows, straight nose, sharp lips, and blue stubble on his chin. He has a very masculine appearance.In terms of appearance alone, his appearance is only slightly inferior to that of Lambert, but if the two stand side by side and compare, they can clearly tell the difference.Lambert's temperament is noble and outstanding, like a pearl in a fish's eye; while he is like a stallion exuding a stench, even if his facial features are handsome, he can't conceal his vulgar temperament.

Moreover, whether it was due to frequent hunting, his clothes also had a pungent sweaty smell in addition to the fishy smell of prey, as if he hadn't bathed for a long time.I was a little suffocated, if it wasn't for my lack of strength, I really wanted to run 50 meters away in one breath: "Stay away from me!"

He turned a blind eye to my resistance, and was still scratching his head confidently: "I'm asking you something, princess. I saved your life, how can you thank me..."

I finally couldn't hold back: "Get out!"

He froze for a moment, looked me up and down in surprise, touched his chin and laughed softly: "Interesting, you are the first girl who dares to talk to me like that."

This is no longer self-confidence, it is a disease of the brain.I took a deep breath and clenched my fists, planning to punch him hard when he approached again, and then take the opportunity to escape.The idea is very clear, but I don't know whether the body can bear it.Sure enough, after he finished speaking, like a male animal eager to seek a mate, he put his hands on my sides and moved closer to me again.I remember that Lambert also did this action, but my heart was pounding at that time, instead of almost fainting from the smell of sweat like now.

At this moment, there were rustling noises outside.I looked up sharply.Perhaps it was because of a similar situation before, the burly man didn't take it seriously, he was still showing off his charm to me: "Why don't you talk, little princess. By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is..."

In the next second, a thick snake tail swept towards him with a cold wind.The majestic man was caught off guard, screamed, and was slapped hard on the Roman pillar by the snake's tail.Lime fell like a torrential rain, and in the blink of an eye, I only had time to put on my cloak to block the flying dust.I thought I would be hit by gravel a few times, but unexpectedly, the snake's tail turned around flexibly and wrapped around my waist, trying to sweep me away like this.

After seeing it, the manly man gasped for two seconds, then got up from the ground, pulled out the long knife behind him, and rushed towards this side with a surge of energy on his feet——

I got dizzy from seeing it, and quickly scolded: "Don't come over!"

But he thought I didn't want to hurt him, so he laughed loudly: "Don't worry, I still have the ability to save a woman. Go to hell, beast—" After the words fell, he shouted angrily, and suddenly raised his long knife and plunged into it. In the snake scales.

With a sound of "Puff", the moment the tip of the knife was inserted into the tail of Lambert's snake, my heart sank rapidly as if falling into a deep valley.Fortunately, the curse made Lambert invulnerable, and the long knife just got stuck between the black scales.

The tail of the snake left the ground, but the man ran over, grabbed the tip of the tail with all his strength, wanted to turn over, and at the same time stretched out his hand to me: "Throw me the knife!"

I'm not one to get angry easily.My father was worried that my soft heart and good temper would become tools for others to manipulate me.Although I have suffered a lot from this, I have never been able to get rid of my soft-heartedness.When I meet an old lady pretending to be a beggar, I will still give them one or two copper coins. People who have hurt me, as long as they sincerely apologize and repent, they will not take it to heart.But this time, the majestic man really pissed me off.

He is arrogant, ignorant, and doesn't know right from wrong. Knowing that Lambert is not a giant python that harms the town, he organizes the villagers to break into the castle and hunt the so-called "giant python".Such a person, even if he dies here, is not worthy of sympathy.I pulled out the long knife, but instead of handing it to him, I aimed it at his neck.The majestic man was full of astonishment: "What are you doing..."

I said every word: "I'll give you one last chance, get out of the castle, and don't come back."

He was so angry that his veins stood out: "Woman without a conscience, your bandages and wound medicine are mine, so I saved you!"

"I wouldn't be hurt if it wasn't for you."

He was dumbfounded for a second: "I was wrong before... Look, am I making it up to you now? I want to save you from the beast! As long as you hand me the long knife, you and I will be safe..."

"He's not a beast, he's my lover."

After the voice fell, the sky and the earth were bright again, the lightning cut through the thick dark clouds, and the thunder was a deafening roar.Seconds later, torrential rain poured down.I didn't hesitate anymore, and while the man was stunned, I swung my knife and slashed at his finger that was holding the tail of the snake.He reacted very quickly, and immediately dodged, but even so, he still left a piece of finger.It can be regarded as repaying that revenge.

This knife used up all my courage.No longer looking at his shocked eyes, I buried my face in Lambert's black scales and patted his snake tail.As if he knew what I was thinking, Lambert's huge snake tail swung heavily, and the majestic man rolled and fell from above, hitting the muddy dark blue lawn.

Until Lambert and I were gone, he still opened his eyes wide and stared at me in disbelief, as if he had heard some terrible legend.
