[Count of Monte Cristo] Love and hatred

"Jupiter was determined to betray the duke, but the duke was prepared. He forced her to take a drug to control her from betraying her lover..."

Saturn said slowly, "Jupiter resisted desperately at first, but she soon discovered that the drug would have a psychedelic excitement when it was taken, but it made life worse than death when it kicked off. In the end, Jupiter failed to resist the power of that medicine, compromised with the Duke of Buckingham, and led the noble youth to a dilapidated temple..."

Mei Tess quickly realized what the ingredients in that medicine were, and she knew how terrible it was, so she could fully understand why Jupiter couldn't resist.

"Later, the duke tortured and humiliated the noble youth in the temple, and took Jupiter in front of his face. Then the youth was sent to prison abroad, and Jupiter conceived after that night, and gave birth to After giving birth to her daughter, she died in childbirth. But in her last moments, she told me that she had taken revenge on the Duke of Buckingham in her own way." Saturn said sadly, "After Jupiter died, the Duke began to look for new men. , he desperately needs to find the next planet to replace Jupiter on the Dark Star, which is why you were brought here."

Maybe everything would have been different if Jupiter hadn't died.This also makes Mei Tess more and more curious about the mysterious Jupiter.

"She must be a very attractive woman," Mei Tess raised her eyebrows, "Did the Duke of Buckingham ever love Jupiter?"

"Buckingham never loved anyone. If he had to say someone he loved, it would be himself," Saturn replied.

"But they still have a daughter, doesn't he love her?" Mei Tess asked suspiciously.

"Strictly speaking, that girl is an illegitimate daughter. Although her parents are of noble blood, the Duke of Buckingham has never recognized her." Saturn sighed softly, "Besides, I have been with her since she was born. I have never seen her, maybe she was raised in a certain castle of the Duke, maybe she has already left this world and went to the sky to accompany her mother..."

"It's a really sad story," Mei Tess commented.

"There is a story behind every dark star that comes here," Saturn smiled, "I heard the Duke talk about you and your fiancé..."

Mention of Edmund brought infinite sadness to Mei Tess's heart.She decided to change the subject, "What about Mars?"

"Maybe you think Mars is a cold-blooded person, but she also has her story." Saturn gently pushed the leaves that fell on Mei Tess's shoulders, "She is the daughter of an African tribal chief, At that time, their tribe was about to use her as a gift to surrender to the hostile tribe because of successive defeats, and the Duke of Buckingham sacrificed a lot of weapons to the tribe to exchange her."

"I can't see that the Duke of Buckingham still has such a human side," Mei Tess said in a sarcastic tone.

"No, it was all for profit," Saturn explained. "Later, the Duke of Buckingham took control of her tribe, used them to attack other tribes, and then sold the captives to plantation owners in the American South."

"Buckingham is still involved in the black slave trade." Mei Tess stared wide-eyed, "I have seen related materials in the library. More than ten years ago, the British Parliament passed two laws, announcing an absolute ban on the fate of the king." African slave trade."

"In fact, the Duke of Buckingham was also involved in the revision of those two bills," Saturn said with a sneer, "but the trade is all done in secret. As long as it is profitable, the Duke of Buckingham will do it."

"But the Duke of Buckingham treats the people of Mars like this, doesn't she hate him?" Mei Tess asked in surprise.

"Mars doesn't understand our language, and only listens to Buckingham's instructions. She doesn't know what Buckingham has done. She only knows that Buckingham exchanged a bunch of weapons for her, and rescued her from a cruel marriage" , Saturn explained.

"But she will know the truth someday," plum Tess's amber eyes sparkled.

"No, you don't know the Duke of Buckingham." Saturn shook his head with a smile. "If he doesn't want Mars to know, she will never know."

They silently looked up at the deep sky.At this moment, a little white appeared in the eastern sky, but Plum Tess did not look forward to the dawn.

She blamed it all on the Duke of Buckingham.Because he always compared himself to the son of Hyperion and Theia, the sun god Helios.

"Helios gallops in the sky every day on a chariot pulled by four flame horses, from east to west, morning rises and evening sets, he is the Almighty Lord, the light of the world", she still remembers Buckingham Introduced to her with a proud tone, as if he was talking about himself. "And Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Mercury... all the planets must surround him, because he is the center of the universe."

She can probably understand why the Duke of Buckingham worships the sun god Helios so much.He is the most prominent duke in Great Britain, and although the empire on which the sun never sets has not yet taken shape, it is already developing in this direction.She knew that the Duke had already made trade to India and beyond, and she knew how ambitious he was.

But Plum Tess never wanted to see that day.Because of this, she prefers Dawn.This is the darkest time, but all the stars can emit brilliant brilliance. Once the sun rises, their light will become insignificant, and they cannot escape the fate of being engulfed by the sun's flame...

Saturn spoke suddenly, breaking the silence, "I've been thinking about who will become the next planet, Venus, the star of love and beauty."

"Actually, I don't care," Mei Tess shrugged, but her tone revealed her insincerity.Venus, the brightest star at dawn has a high status in her heart, so she doesn't want Venus to become the code name of a cold-blooded killer.

Saturn looked at her suspiciously.Mei Tess looked back for a moment, and then said in a more relaxed tone, "Maybe it will be the new Yelena, she always spares no effort to please the Duke."

Saturn looked up at the sky, a smile curled up on his lips.Although Buckingham never revealed anything, she already guessed what he meant.

Actually she knew, she always knew who was going to be Venus.
