[Count of Monte Cristo] Love and hatred

Then things got out of hand.

They can say that they know each other well. Mei Tess knows that Fernand is not a French nobleman, and Fernand also knows Mei Tess is definitely not a fisherwoman from Milos Island, but they are not at the banquet. What is revealed on the face, just looking for an opportunity to talk in a low voice when others are not paying attention.

Fernand told her that he had been serving in the French Army all these years.He became a captain during the Spanish War, and was promoted to colonel after the capture of Drocadello. He not only received the title of count, but also received the cross of an officer of the Legion of Honor.Now he is well-known in the French Army and has come to serve under Governor Ali Pasha.

In any case, Fernand was Mei Tess's cousin, so she was more pleased than surprised.However, when she asked about old Dantes and Edmund, Fernand's expression became a little sad, "Merce Tess, I haven't been back to Marseille these years, because as long as I see those familiar Scenery, I will think of you, and I will not be able to bear it."

Plum Tess' lips were tightly shut, not knowing what to say, nor whether she was lucky or unlucky to be loved by such a man.

"Maise Tess, ever since I found out that you were missing in Paris, I have been looking for you like crazy for many years..." Fernand said in a low voice, "But just when I gave up, you appeared again Before me, this must be God's will."

Mei Tess knew very well that it was not God's will, but the Duke of Buckingham's.But she can't reveal her identity now, so she just explained that she broke the prosecutor Villefort's tryst with his lover, and was sold to Greece by Villefort. "Fortunately, Governor Ali kindly took me in and left me to work under Vaseliji."

Fernand clenched his fists, trying to suppress the anger in his heart. "Maise Tess, I didn't expect you to suffer alone in Greece when I was so prosperous. I didn't have much contact with Villefort when I was in Paris, and my current strength can't compete with him, a deeply rooted nobleman, but one day , I will find a way to deal with him and avenge you!"

Plum Tess was indeed moved at that moment, but the gratitude in her eyes was misunderstood by Fernand as another emotion.He grabbed Mei Tess's hand a little excitedly, "But before that, I have to rescue you from the Greek palace."

"No, you don't understand..." Mei Tess broke free from Fernand's hand, but before she could stop him, Fernand made a request to Governor Ali to marry this beautiful court lady.

He originally thought that Ali would agree immediately, but Ali's expression suddenly became stern, "No, Count Morcerf, she is now a member of Vaseriki, and she must ask the queen first."

After the queen knew about this, she first asked Mei Tess for her opinion. "I have always regarded the ladies in the palace as sisters, so I respect what you mean. If you are willing to marry the French count, Ali and I can hold a wedding ceremony for you in Yanina, but if you don't want to, We will never force you."

Mei Tess shook her head subconsciously, she wanted to return to France, but not in this way, it was too sudden and too outrageous.She could only prevaricate, "Vanserich, I already have someone I love in my heart, please forgive me for not being able to marry Count Morcerf."

The next day, Ali relayed to Fernand what Vaseriki meant.However, Fernand didn't believe it at all. In his opinion, Edmund had already died in prison, and Mei Tess was sold to Greece. There was no reason for her to be alone in the palace of Yanina. It must have been Ali who had forced her to remain in the palace who had rejected him as earl.

So at the next dinner party, the unwilling Fernand continued to pester Mei Tess, even after he was drunk, he tried to kiss her with the strength of alcohol. This absurd thing finally ended in Ali's rage .

Mei Tess knew that Ali defended her more because Fernand offended his authority.But what she didn't expect was that Ali didn't calm down after reprimanding Fernand. He ordered his men to tie up Fernand and whipped him ten times on the back.

This was definitely not the result Mei Tess wanted. For a moment, she even suspected that the Duke of Buckingham had investigated her background and learned about her relationship with Fernand.The Duke is sure that she can complete the task, probably because he knows that she doesn't need to do anything to drive a wedge between Fernand and Ali!

She had to explain all this to Fernand, but she soon realized that she had no chance.After that, Fernand never came to see her again, and after a few days of recuperating from his wounds, he left Yanina with resentment on the orders of Ali.

But after that, Fernand entrusted by Fernand, a Nubian Escort sent Mei Tess a letter written in Spanish, implying that she waited patiently for him to rescue her. In fact, the Turks had established a relationship with themselves connect.

Plum Tess burned the letter in a panic, but soon regretted it.She knew how passionate this cousin loved her, and she knew that he would do anything for her, even betray Ali!

That night, Plum Tess had a terrible dream.

She dreamed that a bloody crescent rose over Yanina, surrounded by screams of men and women, and people fled to a monastery, but then a violent explosion occurred in the monastery.

Mei Tess screamed and sat up on the bed. She suddenly realized that the kingdom of the moon in Wu Ji's prophecy referred to Turkey instead of Yanina.The unjust wars of Ottoman Turkey will bring disaster to this beautiful city.

She remembered Harold's words, although Ali was brutal, he was the hope of Greek liberation.As the only one who knows the conspiracy of the Duke of Buckingham, she must try her best to prevent everything in the dream from happening.

After thinking for a long time, Mei Tess decided to confess to Ali.

She is ready to bear all the consequences, maybe her end will be worse than that bandit, but that is not important, if Yanina is really destroyed because of her, she will become a sinner of history, That was the blame she couldn't bear.

Yet Ali didn't believe her, at least not fully, after she'd told it all.

After a few seconds of silence, Ali ordered his subordinate Selim to tie Mei Tess into the prison.

He declared in a majestic voice:

"Three days later, it will be your death day!"
