[Count of Monte Cristo] Love and hatred

r049

Plum Tess clenched the sword in her hand.

"It's me." Saturn, wearing a white Greek-style dress, slowly walked out of the shadows.

Plum Tess lowered her sword.If she had one friend in these dark days, it was Saturn.In fact, she has always admired Saturn. This female killer, code-named Saturn, has a noble temperament in her gestures and gestures. She is always so elegant, even when she kills.

Since Mei Tess shot and killed Colonel Nargona, Saturn gradually became willing to talk to her.At first, Mae Tess thought it was because they were both French and had inextricable connections with Marseille.

Later she learned that the real reason was Saturn's background.

Saturn was a French nobleman. During the French Revolution, her parents, Count Salvio and his wife, were framed and both died under Occam's razor.And her aunt took her to flee to the countryside of Marseilles, only to escape unharmed.Later her aunt married a commoner and had two children, and she herself met the love of her life.

But she didn't know at that time that the person who framed her parents back then had actually been paying attention to her, because she was the orthodox heir of the Salvio family.

She originally made an appointment to elope with her lover, but when she dragged her luggage and waited alone at the agreed place, someone had already told her lover's parents about it.He was kidnapped overnight and sent to the barracks in Paris to join the army.

She waited for a day and a night, but instead of her lover, she waited for the drunken Lord Nargona.He took her roughly and left, leaving her naked on the cold ground.

It rained heavily that night, and the rain mercilessly wet her body and gradually diluted the blood on the ground.

Just when she thought she was dying, the Duke of Buckingham appeared.He carried her into the carriage and gave her blankets and food.From that day on, she followed the Duke of Buckingham to Great Britain, forgot the past, and became a cold-blooded assassin—Saturn the Death Star.

Mei Tess had heard of the surname Salvio.When she curiously asked who the enemy who framed the Saturn family was, Saturn replied:

"One is the family of Baron Nargona who was killed by you, and the other is the current Count Salvio, my former uncle."

Mei Tess knew that those were all nobles of Marseilles, but Saturn didn't finish her sentence.

"There's one more," her green eyes shone with hatred, "it's the Saint-Méran family."

Mei Tess still remembered how terrified she was when Saturn told about the Marquis of Saint-Meran, and she begged Saturn not to hurt Renee and her children, they were innocent.

However, Saturn told her, "I will not take revenge on your friend... When I secretly followed her to the alley with the seeds of hatred, she thought I was hungry, so she handed the bread in her hand to her. Gave it to me... Mademoiselle de Saint-Meran is a pure and good girl who has nothing to do with the sins of her parents."

Now, sitting on the cold stone steps of the garden, they talked about Renee again, about those Marseilles.

"I still remember that when I passed the Medusa fountain once, I saw Miss Saint-Méran holding a banquet in the open-air yard, with the lady of the Nargona family and my cousin Hermione," said Sa Du En looked at the beautiful stars in the sky, "That is a banquet that I will never be able to reach... I am just a down-and-out vagrant in Marseilles, and I will never be able to enter their circle."

"But you are the real nobleman," Mei Tess sighed softly.

"This is a trick of fate," Saturn said with a desolate look.

Mei Tess took her hand and comforted her softly, "Yeah, it's like when I was fishing in Marseilles, I never thought that one day I would become a spy for a foreign duke. It sounds crazy."

"Do you know?" Saturn blinked, "Actually, the Duke of Buckingham has always been very special to you."

"He said the reason before," Mei Tess explained, "Many of the girls who were caught here were lured here by his illegitimate sister Mera with money and jewelry. I am different from them."

"No, actually the real reason is..." Saturn paused, as if he suddenly remembered something from the past.

"What is it?" asked Plum Tess.

"You are very much like Jupiter," Saturn explained. "From the first day you came to the castle, I could see that you had something in common."

Saturn's words fully aroused Mei Tess's curiosity.Among the five planets, there should indeed be Jupiter between Saturn and Mars, but Jupiter has always been a taboo in the castle, and she has never heard of anyone talking about her, "Could it be...she The lover of the Duke of Buckingham?"

"It's... and it's not..."

Saturn blinked and began to tell the story of Jupiter, "She was once a noble Ottoman Turkish princess, the most beautiful of the Sultan's many daughters. She was as dazzling as a star in the sky, especially her hair like a nebula. Her reddish-brown hair is what she is most proud of. At that time, she was a favored princess, but after the death of the old Sultan, her mother also lost in the game of power, so her status It also plummeted."

"and then?"

"Jupiter was not reconciled. She was determined to take revenge, so she quickly caught up with the Duke of Buckingham. The Duke's grandmother was also an Ottoman Turkish princess, and his mother was the daughter of the ambassador to Turkey, so he also had certain influence in Ottoman Turkey. Power. He helped Jupiter avenge her and trained her to be a Dark Star," Saturn said slowly, "Later, she was promoted to the second rank in the Dark Star organization because of her outstanding performance. a planet, and became the Duke of Buckingham's most valued subordinate."

"But why haven't I seen her since I came here?" Mei Tess asked suspiciously.

"Because she betrayed the duke," Saturn replied.

Plum Tess opened her eyes wide. This was always what she wanted to do, and she didn't expect someone to do it long ago.She suddenly understood why Saturn said she was similar to Jupiter.

"That betrayal started with a mission. That mission was just like other missions they often do, and it was not complicated. All Jupiter had to do was to seduce and frame a young nobleman."

Saturn pondered for a while, "However, she couldn't help falling in love with that young man during the mission."
