[Count of Monte Cristo] Love and hatred

chapter146

Of course Mars wouldn't believe it.

Plum Tess motioned her to continue questioning Ali.Mars did so, but the answer surprised her.

"How is my father?"

Ali clasped his hands together, then tilted his head with his eyes closed, indicating to her that the chief had already rested in the ground.

"Where's my mother?"

Ali shook his head helplessly.Mars knew immediately that she, too, had come to the same end.

"Where are my brothers? And my little sister?" she pressed.

Ali began to gesture again. He said that after the tribe was invaded, they were all tied to different boats and taken away.

Mars asked for details reluctantly, hoping that all this had nothing to do with the Duke of Buckingham, but Ali confirmed Mei Tess's words again.It was the man who exchanged Mars with a weapon, and after her tribe was useless, he captured all her tribe and sold them to every corner of the world.

No, no... An unprecedented pain gripped Mars' heart.The former Duke of Buckingham was like a god to her. She revered him, admired him, and loved him like a sunflower to the sun.And at this moment, her whole world seemed to collapse in an instant.

It was this person who invaded her tribe, slaughtered her relatives, trampled on her homeland, and destroyed everything she cherished with his own hands!Except for the time when she felt compassion in Greece and let Venus go privately, she asked herself that she had never betrayed the Duke, how could he treat her like this?

All the lies and deceit flowed to Mars like blood from an open wound.But the imagined tears did not come, she smiled, but there was despair in that trembling voice.

"Mars..."

Mei Tess wanted to comfort her, she couldn't imagine how much Mars was in pain.

But Mars interrupted her. "Venus, thank you for letting me know the truth. In fact, you have reminded me a long time ago, but I didn't believe you...I was too naive. The Duke of Buckingham lied to Jupiter and Saturn, I also lied to you, so how could it be different to me?"

Mars pondered for a while, "I know that the Duke is plotting against the Count of Monte Cristo. He believes that person is your fiancé back then. This is my return to you. I never like to owe anything to others."

"No, Mars. Even though I didn't like you when I was on the Dark Star, and you never liked me, it is an undeniable fact that we were born and died together. Later, you helped me in Greece, I won't forget." Plum Tess took a step forward and gently embraced Mars's shoulder, "Actually, we have long since lost count."

Mars's lips were tightly closed, but his eyes were not as strong as before.

Mei Tess continued, "A witch once left me a prophecy that the wrath of the sun will eventually consume everything. Now that Saturn and Jupiter have fallen, why can't Venus and Mars be friends? "

"You want to join forces with me?" Mars frowned and shook his head in disapproval. "Do you remember what happened to Jupiter and Saturn? The stars are not the opponents of the sun."

"The former Duke was indeed powerful. At that time, he had all the stars working for him. But now the dead Jupiter and Saturn, as well as me, have stood on the opposite side of the Duke. The Duke has always trusted you, Mars , if you make the same choice, maybe we can give him a fatal blow."

"No, you don't know the Duke of Buckingham. He still holds the last trump card."

Plum Tess asked with her eyes. "What trump card?"

"Mercury," Mars paused, and continued, "Actually, the Duke also lied to Elise, because he already had a candidate for Mercury in his heart. She is the most dangerous star, and the Duke let her Received inhuman training since she was a child, and tortured her with cruel methods until her personality was wiped out. Today, Mercury has become a killing machine that has no feelings and is only loyal to the Duke, so that after she begins to perform tasks, the Duke does not need to Cultivate other stars."

"Aren't you even her opponent?"

"Yes, she is better than me in fighting, she is better than Saturn in assassination, she is better than you in disguise, and she is better than her mother in trickery."

"Her mother?"

"Jupiter."

Mei Tess suddenly recalled Saturn's words, Jupiter once had a daughter, and it was time to grow up now. "But she is the Duke's daughter, how could he treat her so cruelly?"

"You also think she is the Duke's daughter? In fact, Jupiter once told me that Mercury's biological father was actually her lover. But after Mercury was born, although he was most like her mother, he was different from her in some ways." The Duke is similar."

Before Mei Tess could stop her, Busani, who had been hiding behind the door, couldn't help but came out, and asked excitedly, "You said that girl named Mercury is the child of Jupiter's lover?"

The moment he saw Busani, Mars suddenly realized that what Jupiter said was true.Mercury's resemblance to the Duke of Buckingham is not surprising, as the Duke is her biological father's twin brother.

"Yes, Jupiter told me before she died that she took revenge on the Duke in her own way, and that she was not pregnant with the Duke's child. After Mercury was born, I suspected that Jupiter made a mistake, and now I see Come..."

"She didn't lie..." Bushani's blue eyes flickered, he thought he was destined not to have a child of his own in this life, "What else did Jupiter say?"

"At that time, in order to force Jupiter to frame you, the Duke of Buckingham forced her to take a medicine. The medicine was extremely painful. She couldn't bear it, so she betrayed you. She told me that it was her life. What I regret the most." Mars said sadly, "But in order to give birth to your child safely, she successfully quit that drug, even though she still died of dystocia in the end..."

A complex emotion surged in Busoni's heart. It turned out that Jupiter had never suffered less than him.Hate blazed in his eyes, for his brother, for the drug. "Where is that child?"

"You'd better not expect to see her," Mars warned. "Believe me, she's dehumanized."

Mei Tess wanted to continue persuading, but Mars was about to leave, "I've wasted too much time here, I should go. The Duke won't know that I've been here, but you can't take it lightly."

"Mars, would you like to be with me?" Mei Tess finally asked.

Mars did not answer, but took off the animal tooth from his neck and handed it to Mei Tess, "Put it away."

"It's from your tribe?" Mei Tess asked suspiciously.

"No, it's Bofors' tooth," Mars managed a smile.

That's Mars' Black Panther.Plum Tess couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with it?"

"Once the Regent came to the castle of the Duke of Buckingham, and Bofors offended him, and I stopped him in time. But the Duke, in order to please the Regent, ordered him to be killed. I begged the Duke to let me do it myself, and he allowed it. I I still remember when Bofors was taken out of the castle, as if he knew his fate, he was crying all the time, I stroked its head and cut its throat..."

"Mars, I'm sorry." Mei Tess stared at the animal tooth carved with exquisite patterns, with complex emotions surging in her heart.

"No, don't feel sorry for him. Bofors has been away from home for too long. He has always been very smart. He must remember the way back to his hometown... I will consider your proposal, Mai Tess."

Following Mars' order, the falcon Deimos flew around Villa Auteuil, and finally landed on her shoulder again.Before walking out of the gate, Mars suddenly turned around, "Paula...that's my name."

Plum Tess nodded at her.

Buschani caught up and asked, "Mai Tess, do you trust her?"

"Mars may be our enemy," Mei Tess pondered for a while, "but Paula is not."

That night, after preparing everything, Mars came to the Duke of Buckingham's bedroom clutching her dagger.

She hid the box containing the duke's evidence, and the key to the box—the tooth of Bofors—had been given to Mei Tess.But the hatred of the tribe can only be avenged by herself.

The moment the curtain was lifted, the Duke of Buckingham woke up, "Mars...what are you doing..."

"I already know what you have done to my tribe," Mars said in a calm tone.

"You met Venus? No, you know you shouldn't trust her!"

"It was told to me by members of my tribe."

The Duke of Buckingham opened his mouth in surprise, but quickly regained his composure, "Listen to me, Mars, it's because they disobeyed orders, I have no choice but to..."

"You killed the chieftain and his seven wives. You bought all the young men in the tribe to America, and sold the older ones to North Africa. You didn't even spare the little girls..."

"Well, Mars," the Duke of Buckingham gritted his teeth, "I did do those things."

"Just admit it."

"But what did they do to you? I was the one who saved you when they offered you as a gift to a hostile tribe..."

"You just want to use me!"

"That's not true. I saved you because the first time I saw you, I had a feeling that you were destined to be a special existence in my life. Then it was the same. After so many years, other planets Betrayed one after another, only you have always been by my side," the Duke of Buckingham said in an elegant voice like a cello, "Mars, I know you have always had a secret affection for me, not loyalty to the master, but like."

"Stop talking!" Mars widened his eyes, surprised that the Duke of Buckingham had penetrated her mind.

"Actually, I have the same feelings for you, and I thought you knew it," the Duke of Buckingham said slowly, "Jupiter is dead, Saturn is dead, Venus is gone, and only You and I. My good girl, my black beauty, put down the dagger, I will explain everything."

Buckingham's words made Mars hesitate for a second.She was undoubtedly the powerhouse of the Dark Star, but the Duke grabbed her Achilles heel with precision.At that moment, the Duke of Buckingham pulled out his self-defense dagger from under the pillow, and stabbed fiercely into Mars' heart.

Mars fell heavily to the ground, and what he saw became more and more blurred.But she faintly heard some voices.

When she was a little girl, she loved listening to stories told by the old mother in the tribe.Venus had asked her about it later, but she couldn't remember anything at the time.

But now, she heard the howling of beasts on the grassland again, heard the gentle singing of her mother, and heard the primitive and ancient legends of the tribe.

she heard...
