[Count of Monte Cristo] Love and hatred

r100

Mei Tess passed the Trevi Fountain again, and now the bottom of the pool was covered with a shallow layer of coins.

Perhaps because a beautiful woman is often seen tossing a coin at this fountain to make a wish, some local couples in Rome have also participated.And after a carnival, the custom of throwing coins at the Trevi Fountain quickly spread among foreign tourists, and it was accompanied by an interesting saying that three coins were thrown with their backs to the Trevi Fountain. Find a lover, the second represents true love for each other, and the third represents that you will return to Rome with your lover in the future.

It has been too long since parting with the captain on the Nemesis.Although leaving at the beginning was Mei Tess's own choice, but after coming to Rome, she found that she could never forget the captain.

She can't forget that he taught her to see the North Star on the Maiden Amelie, that he broke through the water in the clear inlet of Monte Cristo, and that they slept in the same bed at night... But she was too Haven't heard from him for a long time.

Two years ago, the last time I saw the Nemesis in the newspaper, the ship seemed to have disappeared from the world and never appeared again.This made Plum Tess worried.

She took out a coin that she carried with her, turned her back to the wishing pool, and threw it down again.If the statue of the gods in the pool can really hear her prayers and make her wishes come true, then let her see him again...

Plum Tess sighed slightly, she turned her head, and the tall and majestic Poseidon sculpture in the wishing pool was looking at her with majestic and solemn eyes.

Another year of Carnival, there are already many pedestrians wearing masks and elaborately decorated floats on the streets of Rome.Mei Tess sat in the carriage that came to pick her up with some sadness, and was going back to the Argendino Theater to prepare for the performance.

Haidee will come tonight too.

Plum Tess still remembered that after Haidee fainted backstage, she never allowed Haidee to come to see her perform.

But this time is different, because in a few hours, it will be the last performance of "Madame".After all, when the audience's enthusiasm fades, no matter how classic a drama is, it will have its curtain call.

And now that the situation in France is gradually stabilizing, she is ready to take Haiide back.She has a lot of things to do, she wants to return to Paris, to implement the revenge plan that has been brewing in her heart for a long time.

Just as Mei Tess's carriage was leaving, another carriage drove slowly past the Trevi Fountain.It was a very luxurious carriage, with gold paint outlining the glistening waves of the sea.

A magnetic voice came from the car.

"Meera, I hope you won't disappoint me this time."

"How could it be?" Meera giggled, "This Salome is a well-known beauty in Rome, and also a pillar of the Argendino Theater."

"Since she is a pillar, why is the boss willing to betray her to you?" The Duke of Buckingham said with a smile.

"She's leaving the theater from tomorrow," said Meera, fanning herself.

"Why?" asked the Duke, puzzled.

"Because she only did one play," Meera explained, "and tonight is the last performance of that play."

"Can't she act in other plays?" The Duke folded his hands.

"This actress always covers her face when performing, not showing her true face," Meera said with a smile, "except for this drama, there is no other drama for her to play such a role.

"That's kind of interesting," the Duke said with a stern smile, "but since she refuses to show her true colors, how do you know she's a beauty? Maybe it's because she's not confident about her beauty, so she just Make this move."

"No, the owner of the theater assured me," Meera said a little guiltyly, "and I have seen her performance, she has a pair of very beautiful eyes..."

"We'll know then," said the Duke coldly.

"Believe me, your dark star needs fresh blood, and she will be the best choice," Meera said with a smile, "The theater owner also said that she has a younger sister who is more beautiful than her, and she will be the best choice tonight." Come to the show."

"Are we doing it in the theater?"

"No, tonight is the carnival, after they leave the theater, we will force them into a remote alley." Meera narrowed her eyes slightly, "Now I am a countess, and I am considered a half-boss in Rome. Don't worry, there are a few missing persons at the Roman Carnival every year, and no one will notice."

"That's not what I'm worried about," the Duke of Buckingham raised his eyebrows.

"Then what are you worried about?" Mera asked suspiciously.

The Duke did not answer, but looked ahead in silence.And in a carriage closely behind them were Mera's subordinates and two Dark Stars.

Just like that, without the slightest knowledge of Mei Setai, an invisible net slowly opened.

nine o'clock.

Argonaut Theatre, backstage.

"Henry, don't you understand Maryland's hint? She picked the best rose for you from the flowers that the audience gave her", an actress joked, "She has always loved You, we can all see that."

"I'm sorry, maybe it's because I'm addicted to opera creation, I find it difficult for me to fall in love with a woman in my life except for the perfect heroines in the play," Henry spread his hands, "If one day I really Getting married is not for love. I will find a partner who can support each other in my career, so that we can fight for our dreams together."

"Like Salome?" asked the actress curiously. "You have always respected her."

"No, I won't pursue Salome." Henry glanced across the room at Plum Tess who was putting on makeup in front of the mirror. "She already has a sweetheart."

"I don't know," said the actress in amazement, "we haven't seen him before."

"Obviously, he's been on his mind."

The opening music started.

Plum Tess took a deep breath as she reappeared, hoping it would be a perfect curtain call if this was her last performance.

However, when it was really her turn to sing the aria, she was almost at a loss for words.

She saw it!

The spectator in the right box of the "noble box" in the first row completely caught the eyes of Mei Tess.He was half in the shadow, so that Mei Tess could not see his face clearly.But that box was very close to May Tess, almost only separated from the band in front of the stage, so she could see the figure of the man clearly.

For some reason, his every move made her feel familiar, and her heart beat unconsciously.

It wasn't until Maryland beside her whispered that Mei Tess reacted and began to sing the song that belonged to her.Immediately the band began to play along with her aria.

All audiences who have seen this play have noticed something strange at this time. They have never felt the pure emotion in this song so strongly, as if their souls are trembling because of it.

And the man whose face was completely hidden in the shadow seemed to be attracted by the singing, and finally stepped forward.At that moment Plum Tess finally saw her face clearly, it was her captain!

Tears gradually blurred her eyes. Unexpectedly, when she decided to leave Rome, her wish finally came true!

However, when Mei Tess inadvertently glanced at the box that was symmetrical with that box, her blood froze immediately!

Duke of Buckingham!
