[Beauty and the Beast] Rose Castle

Maybe it was because it was so difficult to see him, the moment my eyes collided with him, the tip of my nose was sour, and tears fell down involuntarily.

How I wish he could see me now, but I know very well in my heart that it is impossible for him to see me...the distance between us is too far.He sat at the highest point of the entire hall, almost at the same level as the crystal chandelier. Even if he looked over, he could only see moving heads and rainbow-colored skirts.Sure enough, Lambert just glanced this way, and quickly looked away, talking to the people around him.

It is normal to not be able to see, his eyesight is not good, it is strange that he can see me... But no matter how I comfort myself, the tears still keep falling.What a shame.

"Why are you crying?" Mr. Rockefeller's voice sounded again, "Is it because seeing His Majesty was too excited?"

I lowered my head and quickly wiped away my tears, but he interpreted my reaction as shyness: "It's so cute, but also shy. In fact, when I first met His Majesty, my reaction was similar to yours." As he spoke, he Putting his arms around my waist, his tone became dangerous and ambiguous, "You can't refuse me this time, cute little Rose. Now you need comfort, and I am the best person to comfort you."

I didn't expect him to be so bold that he would get close to me in public.Frowning tightly, I secretly tried hard to push his arm away, but I didn't dare to use too much force for fear of attracting the attention of the people around me.Mr. Rockefeller seemed to see my concerns, and got closer unscrupulously.I saw Mrs. Rockefeller looked back at us, but said nothing.I can't stand this family anymore.Wish the prom would start right away and escape this horrible family.

At this time, there was sudden commotion in front, and a girl said to her companion in surprise, "Your Majesty seems to have been looking at us..."

"It's true, Your Majesty is here!"

"Your Majesty has really come here! It's the real Majesty, the living Majesty, not a portrait or a sculpture..." A girl was so excited that she shed tears, "Thank God for the gift, I actually saw His Majesty in real life!"

"Shut up! Your Majesty is coming!"

Hearing Lambert approaching, Rockefeller finally stopped trying to get close to me, but one hand was still around my waist, and the other was leaning on a cane, standing up straight like a beast in clothes.

Whether Lambert came because of me or not, it was a bad meeting.It's fine to dress badly, and there is such a bad middle-aged man next to him.I don't know if those rumors have reached his ears... What will he think of me?In fact, I really wanted to see his face for the first time, but somehow I couldn't lift my head up.

A pair of tight black ankle boots came into view, and at the same time, everyone around me gasped.It's over, Lambert has come to my side.

Before I could think of what to say, the next second, exclamations suddenly came from around me.I raised my head suddenly, and saw Lambert grabbed Rockefeller by the collar with a calm expression, and punched him heavily in the face.

For a few seconds, the hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard.Everyone looked at each other, seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.Lambert's punch was so powerful that it directly knocked out two of Rockefeller's teeth.He collapsed on the ground in embarrassment, panting like a broken bellows, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, dripping on his hands and the carpet.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Rockefeller himself was shocked, and trembling all over, "What did I do wrong... Even if I accidentally offend you, you don't have to do it yourself..."

Lambert adjusted the ruby ​​cufflinks, clasped my wrists, and pulled me to his side.At the same moment, he finally spoke, and his voice echoed in everyone's ears coldly and frighteningly: "You shouldn't touch her."

He saw me and recognized me.He really came for me.

Hearing these words, the uneasiness, worries and grievances of these days, the fear of hearing the key to open the door in the middle of the night, all disappeared without a trace, like being tied to a stone and thrown into the sea.I sniffed, held his hand instead, and threw myself into his arms disrespectfully, ignoring the shocked stares of the people around me.

The red and green skirt who had been silent all this time screamed on the spot, and anxiously tugged on Mrs. Rockefeller's sleeve: "Mom, take care of her...how dare she! How can she!"

Mrs. Rockefeller came back to her senses, walked over, helped Rockefeller on the ground, took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood from his mouth: "Your Majesty, did you recognize the wrong person? This girl is a little beggar my husband picked up on the side of the road." She was brought to the capital because of her pity. If you don’t believe her accent, she is not even from the capital, but a girl born in a remote village... How could you know such a person? My husband is a lord whom you personally conferred , for the sake of a country girl, is it not good to do something to the lord you personally rewarded?"

There was a reason why Mrs. Rockefeller dared to speak to Lambert like that.When I read the Northern Law Code before, I learned that Lambert promulgated a bill on impeachment two years ago. From then on, whether it is a king, prince, or nobleman, they no longer speak and do things in one word, allowing subordinates or civilians to raise objections .Of course, although the bill allows for impeachment, many times the public still dares to be confused, such as those two decrees on "roses".

"If I can give him the title of lord, I can take it all back." I couldn't see Lambert's expression, but I could only hear his indifferent voice, "He shouldn't have touched my wife."

After these words fell, there was no exclamation from the surroundings, and they were probably so shocked that they lost their words.I was also shocked, I didn't expect him to directly say that I was his wife.Hearing his voice, smelling his scent, feeling his arms around my waist... There's never been a moment like this, feeling such a full sense of security.It was great to meet him again.

At this time, Mrs. Rockefeller suddenly let out a panicked cry.It can make this woman scream, which shows that the situation is not small.When I raised my head from his arms, I saw him clasping my waist with one hand, and the other hand was flashing with white light, slowly transforming into a knight's long sword.

Rockefeller seemed to sense something was wrong, and kept moving his buttocks back, trying to hide in the crowd.It's a pity that the long sword is one step faster than him.I didn't see how Lambert made a move at all, and the knight's sword had already chopped off one of Rockefeller's arms.It happened to be the one he had put his arm around my waist.The long sword was stuck on the thick carpet, the hilt hummed and trembled, and blood splashed on Mrs. Rockefeller's skirt.Rockefeller looked at his severed hand, and then at the indifferent Lambert, shaking like chaff, opening his mouth to scream.At this time, another white light flashed.Lambert cast a silence spell on him.

I saw the eyes of people around me like copper bells, and they opened their mouths slightly, as if they didn't expect things to turn out like this.The girls crossed their arms, trembling, and looked at Lambert in shock and fear, without a trace of admiration in their eyes.People with poor endurance even fainted on the spot.The red and green skirt also changed from her arrogant and domineering appearance. She didn't dare to look at Lambert anymore, and looked tearfully at Rockefeller, who was lying on the ground and bleeding.

Lambert looked around and ordered lightly: "Deprive Rockefeller of his title and expel his family from the palace. The ball will continue as usual." After he finished speaking, he looked down at me, and his voice instantly became very gentle, "Little Rose, come with me."

He clasped my wrist and led me to the highest point of the hall.Behind them was a chaotic but quiet crowd.I thought he would ask me where I have been for the past five years so that I could explain to him, but who knows, he didn't ask anything, and walked me to his throne silently.

He didn't say a word, but I wanted to say something, and just as I was about to speak, he suddenly picked me up and placed me on the golden throne inlaid with various precious stones.

"Lambert..."

"Hush." ​​He put a finger on my lips, knelt down on one knee, looked up at me, his pupils were abnormally red, "Little Rose still remembers the first time she saw me, she told me Did you say anything?"

What I said at that time was basically a lie, how could I remember what I said?

Fortunately, he didn't ask me to repeat, but he lowered his head and kissed the back of my hand, and continued: "You said, there was a voice in the dream telling you that as long as you can save me, you can get countless wealth , and supremacy.”

So that's what he said.I couldn't help but blush: "I made these up... I have never had such a dream."

"It doesn't matter." He chuckled, as if it came directly from the chest, and it made my ears burn. "Whether Little Rose has such a dream or not, she will get untold wealth and supreme status."

Having said that, he glanced at the attendant next to him.The man rested his chest with one hand, bowed to accept the order and left.I don't know what he wants to do, maybe he wants to give me something.Looking at the people dancing stiffly on the dance floor, I was more curious about another question: "Are you throwing this dance for me?"

"Yes."

"You know I'm not dead?" I said shyly, "I'm sorry... I wanted to give you a surprise at the time, but I didn't expect that after the curse was broken, I couldn't speak and had no chance to tell you that I wouldn't die. All these years , are you having a hard time?"

He didn't answer, remained silent, and kissed the back of my hand again, as if he couldn't stop being close to me for a moment.After a long time, he opened his mouth and said: "After you disappeared, I went to many places, trying to find your soul, and even restarted the Wuzhi Department for this. There is a big bell above my bedroom, which is made by the Wuzhi Department. As long as you Once you enter the royal capital, the big bell will make a loud noise. However, they are not skilled, and the bell did not sense you immediately."

I thought of the loud noise I heard that night. In an instant, the softest part of my heart seemed to be stabbed by something.

Not wanting to make the atmosphere too heavy, I thought about it, and said in a relaxed tone on purpose: "You said, the bell didn't sense me at the first time, how do you know? Could it be that you are a more powerful witch than the witches?" technique?"

"I haven't had the face to meet your father these years. I finally worked up the courage to meet him half a year ago. We chatted until midnight and drank a lot of wine. Suddenly, he laughed and told me that maybe he made a fool of himself. Wrong, it’s not about losing five years of life, but about losing five years of time. No wonder your mother didn’t let him use that pocket watch. He said, maybe half a year later, you will come back, so I don’t want to be discouraged. No way Let me describe to you how I felt at that time, I only regret that I didn't visit your father earlier." He said it lightly, but I could understand his complicated and ups and downs at that time.Five years, not too long and not too short, although it didn't make him old all at once, it also carved some traces of time on his appearance.I can't even imagine how sad it would be to lose him for five years.

My heart ached. "Then what?"

"Then, I went to a tribe. They enshrined an evil god and asked all the villagers not to leave the evil god's territory. Once someone tried to escape from the tribe, the heart would feel like being bitten by an ant. I found the 'evil god', A witch who relies on the villagers' beliefs to survive. After defeating her, I ordered her to hand over the spell that bound the villagers, and then used it on myself."

I looked at him in amazement: "...What do you mean? What do you mean by 'using it on yourself'? How could you say it in such a calm tone!"

I was so anxious that my throat was on fire, and my speech became incoherent, but he had a calm expression: "The villagers in the tribe think this spell is a kind of bondage, but I think it is a good medicine for healing. It takes effect from the spell." I have become your most loyal believer since the moment you were born. Only when I see you, get close to you, and feel you, can I gain true peace. So, I did sense your existence immediately. But, forgive me , the capital is too big, I can only use this method to find you."

He stood up, put one hand on the armrest of the throne, leaned forward, and pressed a gentle kiss on my forehead, but what he said made me tremble slightly: "Now, Little Rose is in control of my body!" Master, don't leave me again, unless you want me to experience the pain of being mutilated."

His way of coaxing little girls makes me angry.I'm not stupid, how could I not have imagined that from the moment the spell took effect, he had already begun to experience the pain of being lingering... This man is really crazy, he used sorcery on himself, and even said it was a dose The cure.What if I can't come back?What if the witch tricked my parents?I'm not one to get angry easily, but I was almost pissed off by him.

I clenched my fist and endured it for a long time before I hit him in the face like he hit Rockefeller.At this time, the attendant who had left before came back, put his hand on his chest and said, "Your Majesty, everything you said is ready."
