[Pride and Prejudice] Red and Black Queen

Dark clouds covered the sky of the capital city, and it was raining continuously.

The rain has been falling for several days, the city is full of stagnant water, and the air is filled with a rotten and gloomy smell.

Mr. Darcy stood under the eaves to take shelter from the rain, and heard the gentlemen who also took shelter from the rain talk about the Wickhams.

"Now that the prime minister, Mr. North, has resigned from the position of prime minister because he disagrees with the king, who will be the next successor?"

"Who else can it be? It must be George Wickham. After all, he has such a good sister."

"I think his sister is in his favor. After all, this person's record is famous."

"I also think it will be George Wickham. After all, he is allied with Mr. North. His prime minister is no different from Mr. North's prime minister. Moreover, he will inherit Mr. North's political legacy. He previously supported Mr. North. Mr. Si's people will support him."

"If Lord Wickham becomes Prime Minister, with the help of his sister, won't he be the Regent of our country?"

"Shh, don't say it, don't say it."

At this moment, everyone heard the sound of horseshoes and wheels.

"What sound? What happened?"

"Look!"

"Bishop Wickham!"

Mr. Darcy followed the trend and saw a luxurious carriage passing by the street. He could see Joe sitting in the carriage wearing a bright red robe, which made her picturesque and amazingly beautiful.

Mr. Darcy realized in a trance that he hadn't seen Jo in person for a long time. She was always very busy, and the king couldn't leave her for a moment. Many things of His Majesty needed her consent. Many people said that she She is the king's number one favorite, even the queen is not as powerful as her.

But no matter what they say, in Darcy's mind, Joe is still the little girl who grew up with his childhood sweetheart, who smiled gently at him under the rose trellis, in the secret space behind the curtain, and under the quilt.

Now, the gap between them has widened. In order not to let himself become Joe's burden and weakness, Mr. Darcy will deliberately avoid the relationship between the two in front of others.

He just wants to guard her silently, even if she doesn't know anything.

Sensing Mr. Darcy's mood in the crowd, the system couldn't help saying: [No, Mr. Darcy, she knows everything. 】

Mr. Darcy looked at Jo, intending to watch her go.

Seeing that she looks good now, he can feel relieved.

However, the carriage stopped.

The gentlemen around talked a lot.

"What's wrong? Why did it stop?"

"Who is Bishop Wickham looking at?"

"Being attracted by her, wouldn't it be great? Besides, Bishop Wickham is so beautiful."

The carriage stopped before the crowd, and the coachman got out and opened the door for Joe.

Jo looked at Mr. Darcy, and smiled slightly.

Mr. Darcy didn't move, but his heart was beating very hard.

Seeing that Mr. Darcy didn't seem to move, she wanted to go out.

Seeing the rain and the messy and dirty ground outside, Mr. Darcy hurried forward and stopped Joe's movements.

Darcy said softly: "Are you looking for me?"

Joe stretched out his hand to him, and said with a smile, "Come up quickly, I'll give you a ride."

How could Mr. Darcy refuse her in full view?

What's more, since he knew her, he has never been able to refuse her.

Mr. Darcy stooped into the carriage, and sat opposite Jo.

The carriage started moving again.

It was dark outside, and there were no lights in the carriage.

The two sat in the dark without saying a word, only the sound of their breathing could be heard.

After all, Mr. Darcy couldn't hold back, he smiled helplessly, "Bishop Wickham, how are you doing?"

Joe smiled and said, "Not good."

"Huh?" Mr. Darcy was stunned.

Joe: "In the past few years, I have been alone, and the people I used to know are not around. I hope to help people constantly, but I feel that my time is becoming less and less."

Darcy Wen said: "You have done well enough."

"Actually, I am still me, but many people think that I have changed."

Joe smiled slightly, and stared at Darcy with bright eyes, "Only Mr. Darcy has treated me the same."

Mr. Darcy's heart moved, "No matter what, I'm on your side."

Joe's smile grew wider and wider, and his heart beat faster and faster.

Mr. Darcy turned his head away, suddenly noticing that the direction of the carriage was not his home.

"The carriage is..."

Before he could finish speaking, the carriage stopped.

Mr. Darcy looked around and found that the carriage was parked in front of a bookstore.

"Do you want to buy books?"

Joe shook his head.

The car door was opened again, and Elijah Bennett was holding a pile of books wrapped in waterproof kraft paper.

With a smile on his face, he lowered his head and said, "I told you that you don't need to pick me up, but you..."

He looked up and met Darcy's gaze.

The smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

Darcy said in an inexplicable tone: "It turns out that Bishop Wickham and Mr. Bennett have been in frequent contact during this period of time."

Elijah smiled, "Didn't Mr. Darcy contact Bishop Wickham? If you hadn't, you wouldn't be here today."

Mr. Darcy tightened his cheeks.

Qiao You leisurely absorbed the emotional energy of the two of them.

She said to the system in her mind: "Sure enough, it's better to put the two of them together to fight, so that they can produce more emotional energy."

System: [Although I am not human, you are really... amazing! 】

Joe smiled.

[I thought that during these days, there are kings, queens, and people inside and outside the palace targeting you with emotional energy, and you should despise the emotional energy of the two of them. 】

Joe: "I'm a person who won't waste any emotional energy. How can I just leave it alone? There will be more grinding in the future."

The system choked for a while.

【How long will you torture Mr. Darcy? 】

Joe raised his hand, stroked his chin, and said with a smile, "Forever."

system:【……】

At this time, Darcy seemed to feel something, and turned his head to look at Joe.

He looked at Joe's expression and showed a helpless and understanding smile.

Joe felt his emotional energy grow soft and distant and sweet.

After so long, Mr. Darcy has more or less mastered some of Joe and George's secrets, but he still doesn't care, and even actively cooperates with Joe's mining of himself.

Who made him fall in love with such a witch?

……

After Joe sent Darcy and Elijah to their respective residences, the carriage went to the king's palace.

Immediately after Jo got out of the carriage, a servant held up an umbrella for her.

She passed through the palace gates and came to the king's study.

At this time, the room was silent.

Joe pushed open the door, and the attendants left immediately without looking back.

In the beginning, some attendants were curious about what the king was doing in the study, but after the curious attendants were killed by the king, no one dared to risk their lives to wonder anymore.

Joe walked slowly into the study, George was reclined on the king's throne, and the king was squatting in the corner with his head in his arms.

George saw Joe, smiled brightly, and jumped up.

"Sister, come and sit down."

Joe sat on the king's throne and asked slowly, "How is the king doing today?"

George: "His madness is getting worse and worse. As long as his emotional energy is not emptied for a while, he will easily lose control."

"Even if we can control his mental condition from deteriorating too much, we can't do anything about his physical decline."

Joe smiled: "It's okay, these hours are enough for us to absorb a lot of emotional energy."

"If the king is no longer working, we will change to another king; if this country is no longer usable, we will change to another country; if the planet's energy is absorbed, we will change to another planet."

She opened her arms, smiled at the corners of her mouth, and said the most terrifying words in the most tender tone, "The universe is so big, it's all our energy!"

"Ah! You...you are a devil!"

His Majesty the King did not know why he suddenly regained his brief sobriety, and pointed at Joe and shouted.

He stumbled toward Joe.

George wanted to stop him, but was stopped by a thought in Joe's mind.

His Majesty the King was weak, staggered, and fell at Joe's feet.

Joe sat on the throne with his legs crossed and his hands resting on the armrests of the chair.

"Huh? What advice does His Majesty the King have?" She tilted her head slightly.

The king looked at her, obviously she did nothing, but he felt a kind of fear spontaneously.

What's even more frightening is that this fear just rose and then disappeared without a trace.

Joe took a deep breath and said with a smile: "The taste of fear is really refreshing."

She propped her chin up and said with a smile, "Did you know that the smell of fear is like mint."

The king couldn't help trembling all over.

"The devil... the devil!"

Joe nodded, "Well, you are right, but what can you do? My Majesty the King?"

"You might as well cooperate a little bit."

His teeth trembled uncontrollably, and the upper and lower teeth collided together, making a "keke" sound.

Joe: "Look, you can't control yourself again, you only have so much time to be awake."

His Majesty the King had hallucinations in front of his eyes, as if there was a hammer in his mind. He wanted to open his mouth, but he couldn't.

He tried to speak, but all he could get out was a ridiculous scream.

He couldn't control his body, watching himself dancing like a fool.

What was even more frightening was that he was soberly aware that he was going crazy, but he couldn't control himself at all.

This is a disease, this is madness.

Now only she can cure this madness.

The pained His Majesty the King couldn't help but knelt down at her feet.

Joe: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do? Huh?"

The king crouched at her feet. "Bishop, Bishop of Wickham, please, save me, save me."

"Then will you cooperate with me?"

George whistled, "Your Majesty, do more pleasing things."

The king's face was pale, and his body was shaking slightly because he couldn't control his body.

In the end, he lowered his noble head little by little, brought his lips to Joe's toes, and kissed him.

He swears allegiance to her with the dignity of a king.

Joe raised the corners of his mouth and chuckled, "It's really troublesome to His Majesty the King, hey, His Majesty still knows the current affairs."

George leaned on the back of the king's chair and said with a smile, "Otherwise, it would be impossible to be a king."

System: [You two are really a badass duo, a combination that is so mad that people will not pay for their lives. 】

Joe: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will treat you well, you still have a long time to live."

The king raised his head with a complicated expression, "What...what is your purpose?"

Qiao smiled and said, "I'm just an emotional porter."

system:【……】

King: "Are you the real devil?"

Joe fell back, his face hidden in the shadow cast by the bookcase.

"There is no devil here, I am the devil."

The system thought to itself: Even if Joe turned into a devil, it was only for the continued survival of her own planet. Who can say whether she is good or evil?

However, it knows—

No matter what the world thinks, Qiao Qiao will leave it behind and won't care a little bit.

She is such a unique existence.
