[Count of Monte Cristo] Love and hatred

r053

"By the way, did Catherine say anything else to you?" asked the major.

For a moment, Mei Tess wanted to tell Major Dominique that the Catherine he loved had become a cold-blooded assassin, Saturn the Death Star.It was that cold-blooded assassin who chose to die because he betrayed the Duke, because he was the love that could never be erased from her heart.

But she finally decided to respect Saturn's wishes and said nothing more. "She just said to me, give you the brooch and you'll understand."

"Well, thank you, tell me the truth, I think I understand what she means," Major Dominique said sincerely, "If I can help you in any way, just ask."

"Major Dominique, if you may..."

Plum Tess makes a request to send her back to Marseilles.

"I will send someone to take you back to Marseille safely," Major Dominique solemnly promised.

He quickly assigned a soldier to drive Mai Tess back to Marseilles.He even gave Plum Tess a sword at her request.

The cavalry's carriage was fast, and they did not delay along the way, and soon reached the border of Provence.It was nothing short of a dream.Years had passed, and this was the first time she was so close to Marseilles that she could even smell the sea.

Just as Plum Tess was looking forward to it, the carriage suddenly bumped violently a few times, and then rushed into the bushes by the roadside.

what happened?

Plum Tess poked her head out carefully, and she saw that the soldier had been left far behind, lying on the ground, unconscious.

And in front of her, in the darkness, a pair of eyes that she will never forget are slowly approaching her.

Mars!

Plum Tess clenched the silver sword in her hand.She looked around, and the terrifying black panther was not beside the black woman, but there were two helpers beside her.They were men bought by the Duke of Buckingham from Ottoman Turkey, and the sharp crescent scimitars in their hands gleamed in the moonlight.

Plum Tess stepped down from the carriage, she had no choice but to fight.One of the killers rushed towards Mei Tess first, she turned around to avoid his slash, then stepped on his shoulder deftly, clamped his neck with her legs, and threw the silver sword at him neatly. A touch of the throat.

The killer knelt down slowly, like a pagan sacrifice, and his other companion did not dare to step forward at this scene.

Mars quickly walked towards Plum Tess with a whip in his hand.Mei Tess took a step back involuntarily, and she could even feel the panic behind the horse.The whip does not reflect light like a knife, and she has no time to react when it is swung, but at least the whip is not as deadly as a knife.

After hesitating for only two seconds, Mei Tess rushed towards Mars, the moment the whip was swung, there was a sound of piercing through the air, and then it hit her shoulder fiercely.The severe pain caused Mei Tess's stabbing sword to be out of standard, and only pierced the leather on Mars' body.

Then another whip wrapped around her sword, but Mei Tess did not back down, she simply dropped the sword and fought with Mars.But Mars was far stronger than she was, and she was horrified to see Mars take out the dagger after losing the whip.

But in just a split second, the flying dagger passed her and stabbed to death the servant who was about to attack her with a musket.

"I hate sneak raiders," Mars said in poor English, but at least he could hear it clearly this time, much better than before.

They each backed away, taking a breath.Mei Tess is grateful to Mars for helping her get rid of a sneak attacker, and she also knows that Mars likes to fight in the open and aboveboard, but she can't let her do so, she must go back to Marseilles.

Mars is strong, she is a good fighter but not a good assassin.Plum Tess knows that her advantage lies in being faster.

Then Plum Tess took out the dagger in her boots and attacked Mars like a poisonous spider.Mars pulled out the two huge animal teeth on his necklace as a defense.

She still remembered that when she was training in fighting, she was never Mars' opponent.But now, the dagger in her hand gave her the upper hand.She stabbed step by step like a storm, and time passed in the clash of dagger and animal teeth.

Mars kept backing away, tripped over a stone inadvertently, and had to kneel down on one knee.At that moment, Mei Tess broke out with all her strength, cut off the animal's tooth, and put the dagger on Mars' neck.

"pretty..."

Another came out of the shadows clapping, his voice making Mei Tess shudder.

The Duke of Buckingham appeared on their battlefield at some point.

Mei Tess kept staring at the Duke vigilantly, "I will never go back to that dirty and dark place with you again."

"Don't talk so deadly." The Duke of Buckingham walked towards her slowly, "When you arrived at the port of Brest by boat, did you know where I was going? I went to the Count of Artois to pay for your thing."

For my business?What is he saying?Plum Tess frowned tightly.No, he must have been trying to distract me.She squinted at the bushes not far away. The Duke would never come alone, and his men must have been ambushing nearby.

She can't escape, but she will never be caught without a fight!

"Don't come here," Mei Tess warned, while pressing the dagger on Mars's neck deeper, the sharp blade cut through the skin, and the dark red blood dripped slowly like broken rubies.

However, the Duke of Buckingham ignored it. He took another step forward and took out a letter from his arms, "Mei Tess, I have what you want most. As long as you put down your dagger, come back to me and beg me Forgive me, and I'll leave it to you."

"What's that?" Mei Tess asked suspiciously.

"This thing can be exchanged for your fiancé's freedom." The Duke of Buckingham pondered for a while, "The release order signed by the Earl of Artois himself, with the royal seal on it."

"You can't give it to me so easily," Mei Tess said with a sneer, "I know you want me to go back with you and exchange it with more blood. But I won't do anything for you anymore, no more Killed for you, dirty my hands for you..."

"Messy Tess, I don't want you to exchange your freedom for this thing. From the first day you entered the Dark Star, you have no so-called freedom." The Duke of Buckingham smiled sternly.

"Then why do you..."

"Because of Saturn," the Duke pondered for a moment, "Her betrayal made me think a lot."
