nameless country

William followed the footman, and the circular staircase gave people a sense of vertigo.In the evening, the sky in the distance contrasts sharply with the dark castle. "Can other people just walk along the castle like this?" William asked the manservant.

"No. The viscount specifically asked you to take you around the castle." The manservant stopped where he was, saying every word.

"why?"

"You have to ask Lord Viscount about this." Please go along this way. "The servant turned around and made a gesture of invitation.

This is a greenhouse in the castle with stained glass.When the orange light of the setting sun hits the glass in the evening, the different reflections make it look like the Garden of Eden of the Lord.William stayed where he was, and the brilliant colors made him doubt for a moment—could the blue beard with such a colorful room be the legendary devil who killed his seven wives?

At this time, the servant pushed open the door of the greenhouse, and William saw a sea of ​​flowers inside.

The low and dwarf sage is crawling on the ground, with no special fragrance, only the smell of fragrant grass.In a corner, a cluster of brightly colored plants that are incompatible with the surrounding lavender sage, a plant with leaves and flowers, stands like a colorful bird on the branch.

"What's this?" William approached the corner.

"Strelizia," the valet stayed put, "Strelizia, some people call it the bird of paradise. But I prefer to call it the bird of paradise."

"Do you like the flower?" William touched the leaves of the plant lightly with his hand.

"This is a very precious plant that the Viscount entrusted someone to bring back from Africa. Let's go, I will take you to the next place." The servant turned his back, and the mask on his face covered his expression.

His shadow was covered with light refracted by stained glass, flowing like glass on the ground.

Late at night, Kargus came to William's room. "How is today?" He leaned against the window, holding a glass of wine in his hand.

"Very good, the flowers in your greenhouse are beautiful." William nodded slightly.

"I almost forgot, it took me a long time to find that one of my former wives liked. It's just unfortunate that we are no longer together. William... I have been lonely for too long" Cargus paused For a moment, "Would you like to be my wife and take care of this bird of paradise?"

"Master Viscount... I am willing." William looked into Kargus' eyes and stood up. "Sure enough, we've reached this point." Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief, at least he's one step closer to Blue Beard, isn't he?

"Just call me by my name, just call me Karl." Kargus put his hand on his forehead, "If you are my wife, how can you call me so strangely?" He smiled heartily Wake up with stars in your eyes. "Then I have to prepare and invite everyone to our wedding."

"Viscount..." before William could speak, Kargus pointed to his lips, "No, it's Carl." William approached Kargus, "Can I ask you a question?"

"Why do people call you Bluebeard?"

"Because you know, I like to bring the blue silk scarf that I designed the most. Once when I was driving from the castle to the town to attend a ball in a carriage at night, this silk scarf covered my mouth, and the window exposed I turned a corner, and a child shouted 'Bluebeard'. From then on, it seemed that the residents of the town called me Bluebeard in private, and the spread spread farther and farther, and even other nobles nearby called me 'Bluebeard Viscount'." .Kargus himself laughed when he talked about it, and even the wine glass was shaking unsteadily.

"I thought it was because your beard was blue." William laughed too.

"Do you believe it? Sometimes don't trust your ears, and don't trust your eyes." Kargus took a deep look at William, "Otherwise, there are so many strange things in the world."

"We're getting married in three days."

A nightingale sang outside at night, and William slept soundly.As if he heard a faint sound in the middle, he turned over and buried his head under the pillow.At night he dreamed of the bird of paradise again, and the mask of the manservant, and the eyes of Kargus.At this time, is the rest of the castle so quiet?

The author has something to say:

La la la la soon Bluebeard is going to marry his eighth wife—Little William, of course.

In fact, I know (っ?Ι`)っ the origin of the name of the blue beard. . .Amount,,, a little far-fetched

Wearing a blue silk scarf turned out to be mistaken for a blue beard hahaha I really want to laugh~

This chapter paves the way, and then, it is the □□ stage of the story (⊙o⊙)

Driving and driving (crossed out), is the communication between Bluebeard and William.
