[Count of Monte Cristo] Love and hatred

r044

When Colonel Nargona kissed him, Mei Tess pushed him down almost subconsciously.

No, she shouldn't be like this, at least she couldn't let him see the clues until she got the secret letter.

But this action obviously angered the strong colonel, he pinned Mei Tess to the ground, and began to tear her clothes like a raging beast.

Plum Tess hadn't wanted to hurt him.Before leaving, the Duke of Buckingham told her that his purpose was to get a key from the target to open the box containing the letter from the regent.As long as she successfully obtained the key without arousing suspicion, her hands would not need to be stained with blood, otherwise she could only silence the man.

But now, the more she resisted, the angrier the man became.His eyes were red, and he grabbed Plum Tess's neck fiercely, as if he wanted to kill her.

At that moment, Plum Tess' eyes flashed Villefort's ferocious face in a trance, and she saw Villefort trying to strangle her to death with those evil hands under the pale moonlight.

She struggled to remove the jewel cover on the ring, and then used the poisonous needle hidden on the ring face to stab the man's neck fiercely.Although Colonel Nargona was drunk, his military qualities still had an effect on him, and he grasped Mai Tess's wrist keenly.

"Are you here to assassinate me?" he asked angrily.

Plum Tess responded with silence, her lips still pressed together.

Colonel Nargona's cheeks were flushed, whether it was alcohol or anger.He grabbed Plum Tess's hand forcefully, then tore off the ring with the poisonous needle hidden in it, aiming at Plum Tess's neck.

"Say, who sent you here?"

"Count Artois..." Mei Tess tried to delay time with lies.She knew that the count of Artois and his elder brother Louis XVIII had discord in their political views, and they gathered a group of the most conservative old nobles.She thought that the colonel, as a soldier, should be on the side of the king, but unfortunately, she bet wrong.

"That's the most impossible answer." The colonel grinned grimly and increased the strength in his hand, and the poisonous needle got closer and closer to her.

Mei Tess knew how powerful the poison needle was. She struggled desperately, but found that she was no match for this strong soldier.If it wasn't for being unable to do so before, it wouldn't lead to being controlled by others now, making all the moves Saturn taught her useless.

Just when she was desperate, Colonel Nargona suddenly let out a muffled snort, then covered his lower abdomen, and slowly fell to the side.

Plum Tess pushed his heavy body away with difficulty, then struggled to stand up.It was Saturn, and she jerked the sword from Colonel Nargona, then aimed the bloody blade at his neck.

Colonel Nargona showed disbelief on his face, "You are... Catherine?"

"Yes," Saturn said flatly, "I am the Catherine Salvio you know."

"Catherine..." Colonel Nargona's pale lips squirmed, "After so many years, I have never forgotten you..."

"Me too," Saturn said.

"I know you hate me, but I have always loved you," Colonel Nargona said with difficulty, "I have been looking for you for a long time since you disappeared in Marseilles, and I thought you were dead..."

"The old me has been killed by you," Saturn said with a sneer, "but I didn't expect that you can still say you love me brazenly. The way you love me is to ask me to be your mistress? Then After I left Marseilles, I married that false Salvio?"

"She's not a fake. After your father died, her father, your cousin, inherited the title of the Salvio family," Colonel Nargona explained, "You know, your identity... .It is not possible for us..."

"My identity?" Saturn pondered for a while, "If your father and that vicious Marquise hadn't teamed up to frame my parents and push them to the Jacobin guillotine, I would still be the noble Sal Countess Vio. When your father brought Roberts Peel's men to my house to arrest my father, I begged you to steal the prison key from your father's custody..."

"I'm sorry... I was too young..." Nargona's voice was getting weaker, "All I can do is give you some money."

"I thought you were kind." Saturn's expression turned into anger, "Until that night, you...you..."

"I'm sorry...that's because I love you", Colonel Nargona slowly extended his hand towards Saturn, but Mei Tess was keenly aware of the ruthlessness that flashed in his eyes.

She didn't give him a chance to strike, and before Colonel Nargona stabbed Saturn with the poisonous needle hidden in his hand, she grabbed the hilt of the sword suddenly.I saw a silver light flashing across the sharp sword in Saturn's hand, and then Colonel Nargona grabbed his throat with both hands, making a hoarse and unpleasant sound.

Previously, Plum Tess had tried her best to avoid killing during the mission, but she did not expect that her hands were still stained with blood.They watched Colonel Nargona writhing on the ground in silence, but it lasted only a moment before he stopped struggling.

"Why are you here?" Mei Tess looked at Saturn beside her, "Buckingham asked the Duke to watch me?"

"Yes, this task is a test for you. If you succeed, I don't have to show up. If you want to escape or fail, I have to silence both of you..." Saturn sighed softly Tone, "So if Mars were here instead, you would be dead."

"But you didn't..." Plum Tess's amber eyes flickered.

"I have my rules. I only kill the guilty. And as you can see, I have something to settle here." Saturn skillfully got the key from the officer's body, opened the box, and took out the secret letter Push it into Plum Tess' hand.

Mei Tess put the letter into her bosom, a kind of complicated emotion surged in her heart.Although Saturn taught her how to fight and how to survive on the Dark Star, she has always regarded Saturn as a killing machine without emotion, but...

"Also, thank you for saving me just now." Saturn pondered for a while, "But the next time you perform a mission, don't hesitate any more. If you fail to do so, you will be the one who dies."

Plum Tess nodded.She then began to drag the colonel's body, trying to hide him under the bed, but Saturn stopped her, and then used the sword in his hand to overturn the oil lamp.

Flames spread across the room like snakes.

"You..." Plum Tess opened her mouth in surprise.

"There are enough lifeboats on this ship. After the fire, people will only find that an officer and two dancers are missing from the ship." Saturn said calmly. "Come with me now. Remember, you got the letter, man." You killed it, for the sake of both of us, you are not allowed to mention a word to the Duke of Buckingham about what happened here tonight!"
