[Count of Monte Cristo] Love and hatred

chapter137

Plum Tess had to stop.

Under the charming night, the sparkling Seine blocked her way.It seemed that she had walked a long way alone, but she couldn't remember it.

She was supposed to go to the backstage of the theater to meet Haiidee and her old friend Henry, whom she hadn't seen for many years, but at that time she just wanted to escape, escape from that theater box, and escape from the Count of Monte Cristo.

The cause of everything was the duel proposed by the count.After that, Albert was still very emotional. If Vampa, who had been hiding nearby and secretly protecting her, appeared in time, the scene would have almost gotten out of control.Later, Vampa and the reporter Beauchamp acted as witnesses on her side, while Albert and Baron Renaud who accompanied him became witnesses on the earl's side.

After the earl and his party left the box, Baron Renaud sent a note with the time and place of the duel written on it.It was in Plum Tess's pocket now, and she hadn't looked at it yet.At this moment, she just wanted to try her best to put aside all her troubles.

After calming down, Mei Tess suddenly realized that the earl was not confronting her because of the dispute that night, but wanted to protect her.There was no doubt that Morcerf's son was ready to fight her to the death, but the Count and she were not.

Even as long as she chooses to give up her status as Lord Weimar and not keep the appointment, no one will be hurt by it.

But she does not need the protection of the Count of Monte Cristo.She is not a weak and delicate young lady, she is Venus, the killer of the Dark Star, and Mel, the first mate who once stood side by side with him, she has power not inferior to him, and she is fully qualified to be his opponent.

Plum Tess took a deep breath, the air by the river made her feel a chill.

There has been no news from the Indian Ocean, and Jacob's life and death are still uncertain.And Valentine's side is also worrying. Now Villefort is probably preparing for her funeral, but as long as she stays in that sinful family for a day, Maisette can't feel at ease.

All this was caused by the Count of Monte Cristo, who had drawn a painful wound between them with his own hands, but this was not the reason for her to accept the duel.

Mei Tess looked at the leisurely cruise ship on the Seine River, and couldn't help but recall that she and the earl had a duel when they first met on the Maiden Amelie.At that time, the earl was still a cold smuggling ship owner, he could not trust anyone easily, but in the end, he opened his heart to her.

It would be great if I could go back to that time, Mei Tess couldn't help thinking.However, time cannot be turned back, just like the flowing water of the Seine River like black satin under the night.

She looked at the dark sky, although the starlight was extremely dim, she still saw the star that always pointed to the north.Somehow it made her think of the Captain.

Wu Ji in Marseilles also had a prophecy about the Polaris, but she was talking about Edmund.No, Wu Ji never specified who he was, she just told Mei Tess that she would find him in the vast sea.

Mei Tess is indeed the captain found at sea, and he is indeed carrying the hatred as Wu Ji predicted.She thought that after helping him rescue his father from Chateau d'If, everything would be relieved.But after arriving in Paris, Mei Tess found that the fire of hatred in his heart seemed to intensify.

She could see that the Count of Monte Cristo had been targeting Villefort and others.

But that just represents justice and punishes evil?

of course not.What she couldn't figure out was why this hatred would be so strongly directed at Villefort, who had never had an encounter with the count.Even if this man is guilty, he should not involve Villefort's family in it, let alone allow the flames of hatred to consume his heart.

"Be careful of the ice of hatred on him, there is only one thing in the world that can melt them." Mei Tess silently recited Wu Ji's prophecy back then, and she knew what she should do.

She spent the most difficult four years with the earl on the maiden Amelie, and she believed in her weight in his heart.She must give it a go, as long as the earl wakes up, even if it is herself who is injured, she will not hesitate.

That's why she would agree to a duel.

Perhaps it was God who destined her to pick up the sword again. Tomorrow morning, she would show up at the agreed place on time to finish the duel that was not completed that night.

Mei Tess is not afraid of bloodshed, she has seen a lot of blood when she was in the Dark Star, her own and other people's.

And now, she wants to use her blood to make the earl wake up.

As long as she is injured, the duel will be terminated.In that case, she would not have to give up her status as Lord Weimar, after all, she still had a lot of unfinished business in Paris.

So, this is the best option and the only option.

Plum Tess sighed deeply, and turned away from the river.Perhaps because of her confusion, she didn't notice the stalker behind her.When she walked around a corner, she suddenly felt a shadow covering the light behind her.Before Plum Tess could turn her head, someone knocked her unconscious from behind.

After that, she has been floating in a dream of nothingness.It was a somewhat familiar scene. She found herself standing on the corroded deck that might collapse at any time. The dilapidated Three Goddess logo on the mast made her recognize the identity of the ghost ship.The ship she was on was the Nemesis, but hadn't it sunk into the sea long ago?

Plum Tess walked towards the bow full of doubts, and was pleasantly surprised to find that she was not alone.Through the veil of sea mist she saw her captain facing out to sea, hands gripping the steering wheel.His back was so lonely that she unconsciously wanted to go over to comfort him.

But when the captain turned around, she saw another young and familiar face.

Plum Tess suddenly opened her eyes, only to feel a sharp pain at the back of her neck, and when she recovered, everything she saw in the dream had been erased from her memory.

She found herself in a strange room, her hands were firmly tied behind her back to the chair.Unfortunately, this is an iron chair, if not, as Venus of the Dark Star, she can easily break it and get rid of this shackle.Now, she can only hope to break free from the ropes that bind her hands.

However, she didn't have enough time, because soon someone opened the door and entered.

The footsteps were getting closer, and when the attacker stood in front of Mei Tess, she was not surprised.It was Morcerf, who did not speak, but the silence was more frightening than any sound.His eyes gleamed with anger, and with a dagger pinned to his waist, there was no doubt that he wanted to kill the mastermind behind his ruin.

But he didn't want her to die easily.

Malcerf raised his fist and hit her temple, Mei Tess felt staring.She pursed her lips and glared back at him angrily, and she was answered with another hard punch on the cheek.

The severe pain made Mei Tess almost cry out, but the expected next attack did not come.Morcerf let go of his fist in some doubts, stretched out two fingers, and tore off the fake beard that almost fell off Mae Tess's face due to the fist just now.

After being dazed for two seconds, he quickly threw the fake beard onto the carpet as if bitten by a poisonous snake.Plum Tess noticed that his eyes suddenly opened wide, and his face became paler than when Haidee had exposed his crimes.

"You are..." Morcerf's bloodless lips squirmed, "Plum Tess..."
