[Count of Monte Cristo] Love and hatred

r067

The slightly immature actress under MGM has long been a thing of the past, and today's Plum Tess has been reborn. If she is still living in modern times, it doesn't make sense if she doesn't become popular in Hollywood.

Now, the soulful actor has even managed to fool the captain's dark eyes.

The first time he saw her, the new captain of the Maiden Amelie, our Edmund, subconsciously believed that she was a handsome young man who had come to seek refuge.What they were doing was smuggling, bringing such a person would only become a burden, they could not guarantee his safety, taking him in would only harm him.

But Edmund decided to give him a chance.

"Draw out your sword," he said in an elegant and low voice like a cello, "If you want to be my man, you have to prove your strength to me!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Mei Tess picked up the saber presented by Mrs. Leclere, and took a fighting posture.

"That's the sword issued to soldiers during the Anglo-French War." Edmund narrowed his eyes slightly. He always felt that this sword was inexplicably familiar.

"That's right," Plum Tess hastily fabricated a new life experience for herself, "That was left to me by my father."

Edmund had always admired the soldiers who had served the Empire during the Anglo-French wars.He pondered for a few seconds, "Let's make a move."

Mei Tess swung a sword first, and Edmund was surprised by the lightning-fast speed, but he still reacted and took the sword.

It had only been a year since Edmund had regained his sword since he came out of the Château d'If, and no one could match him on board the Maiden Amelie.But now, he seems to have met a strong opponent.

They danced from one end of the deck to the other.But Edmund at least had the home court advantage. He was very familiar with the bumps of the Maiden Amelie on the sea, which gradually gave him the upper hand.

He followed suit and kept attacking. The rain of attacks made Mei Tess almost overwhelmed.She kept dodging and judging the opponent's sword routine.When cornered to the stern, she could no longer retreat, so she defended herself by attacking, and began to counterattack with a thunderous momentum.

The two swords kept colliding in the air...swirling...kissing...sparks sparked out from the friction, making the surrounding sailors stunned, as if petrified.The little monkey seemed to be the only living person left on the whole ship, because he was the only one still holding his sailor cap, asking his companions to bet one by one.

Edmund and Mei Tess seemed to be getting more and more excited as they fought, and time passed as the two swords clashed, until finally, both of them were a little powerless, so the tight defense finally showed its flaws.

At that moment, Edmund's sword pointed at Mei Tess's throat, forcing her chin to lift slightly.And Mei Tess's sword pointed to Edmund's heart.

None of the sailors could see which of them drew the sword first, so it was impossible to judge who was victorious.The little monkey's bet is also void, because no one buys this result.

Edmund took a step back and scabbard his sword.

"Captain, am I qualified to be yours now?" Mei Tess evoked a smile.

"You...really willing to be a sailor?" Edmund asked suspiciously.

"Yes, as long as you let me stay on the Maiden Amelie," Mei Tess pondered for a while, "and promise not to interfere with my personal freedom during the docking."

"Can you sail?" Edmund asked again.

Mei Tess nodded hesitantly, she did know how to sail a boat, but the small sailboat she was in Marseille was much smaller than the Maiden Amelie.

But the captain apparently believed her.

"You haven't told me your name yet."

"Mel..." She almost blurted out Mercedes, but she stopped in time.

"Mel?" The captain shook her delicate but powerful hand, "It is my honor to have you stay on board."

When the name of the previous life was called out by the captain, Mei Tess almost felt a sense of confusion.

But the captain didn't notice her strangeness. He turned his head, and in a gentle tone, he told the little monkey who was frustrated because the game failed, "Prepare a bed. From now on, we have a new partner."

In this way, Plum Tess became a member of the Maiden Amelie.

Because she wants to hide her identity as a woman, she pays great attention to sex on board, which is considered aristocratic style in the eyes of those poor-born crew members.But since the sword fight between her and the captain, no one dared to provoke her. After all, on this smuggling ship, strength speaks for itself.

This somewhat made her look a little out of place.There are often sailors who make small reports about her, saying that she disappeared after the ship docked, and came back with a change of clothes before sailing, probably to do something shady.

In fact, this period of time was extremely precious to Plum Tess.There are many things to do, and the smell brought by the boat is unbearable for her. As a woman who has to dress up as a man, she always has to find a place to wash her body or complete some private things.

More importantly, she wanted to look for Little Haide.

Mei Tess always holds the portrait of the little princess and asks along the way. She will not let go of anyone she meets, nor will she let go of any clue.Unfortunately, it failed every time.

The plowman told her that he had never seen such a beautiful child in all his life.

And the girl picking wild flowers told her that she had seen the child.But when Plum Tess asked where it was, she hesitated for a long time, and finally remembered that it was the little angel she saw on the murals of the church.

A young man claims to know little Haidee, but in the end Mei Tess discovers that he is only trying to rob her.He led Mei Tess to a remote place. When he showed the dagger, Mei Tess easily twisted his wrist and gave him a hard lesson.

It was that time that Plum Tess almost delayed the maiden Amelie's itinerary.Fortunately, the captain didn't care about the dissatisfied voices of the sailors. He never relayed the complaints of the sailors to Melissa Tess, nor asked her to be as rude and unrestrained as they were in order to blend in with them.

Although the captain had promised her, Mei Tess was still grateful to him from the bottom of her heart.

While on board, Mei Tess was just like any ordinary sailor, concentrating on doing her job well.

It can be said that the life on board the girl Amelie is far from being as sweet as her name, and it can even be said to be busy, boring and extremely boring.

They want printed gauze, cotton banned from export, British gunpowder, and tobacco that the Monopoly Bureau forgot to stamp. A constant cycle of pickles, bread, and bacon, and a watchful eye for tax police that may appear at any moment at sea.

However, if the tax police did show up, their lives would no longer be dull, but overly exciting.
