[Count of Monte Cristo] Love and hatred

r077

Plum Tess couldn't help being a little annoyed.She was from Rhodes Island, the continent of the ocean, and she could swim as well as he had she not been restrained.

This made her recall her time in Rhode Island again, when she was young, she swam in the light blue water, and a group of dolphins shuttled around her like silver javelins...

Plum Tess slowly fell into a dream.

However, the captain reappeared in her dream.

She saw him standing on the deck of a large ship, facing the sea.His back was so lonely that she unconsciously wanted to go over to comfort him.

But when the captain turned around, she saw another familiar face.

Plum Tess snapped her eyes open.

However, when the conscious replaced the subconscious, the dream also disappeared, only the strange feeling remained in my heart.

Mei Tess turned her head subconsciously. This time the captain was really asleep, but there was a smile on his lips.She couldn't remember the last time she saw him smile.

She has always known that the captain bears a lot...he has secrets like her, maybe hatred, maybe hope.He was as lonely as she was, his wife died in the flames of war in Greece.

And now, two lonely people are lying on the same bed.

Plum Tess could clearly feel his heartbeat, bang!boom!boom!She couldn't tell whether it was his or her own, as if their heartbeats had merged into one.

This reminded her of a time when she was filming a literary film, she and an actor kissed in a square in Prague.The director let them perform the feeling of heartbeat, but she couldn't feel the actor's heartbeat at all, or in other words, her own heartbeat.

Until the most beautiful morning was wasted and the best time was missed, the director still didn't get the desired effect.Plum Tess showed a bitter smile, maybe she wasn't a good actress back then, but now...

She knew very well that she was not acting.

So after that, Plum Tess couldn't fall asleep anyway.

The quiet moonlight came in through the window, just falling on the captain's iron ring.The ring was polished to a smooth finish, as if the long days had honed her captain into what it is now.

She took out her ring.It was about the size of a captain's ring, probably also iron, but gilded with a beautiful gold lacquer, just like herself.

Plum Tess is only her exterior, and her soul belongs to Mel forever.She knew this could never be changed, and it also left her forever in debt to her fiancé, Edmund, to whom she owed a promise.

Although the tragedy was not caused by her, she should have rescued him, but she did not expect to implicate him in the end.

Now, Edmund's ring must have sunk into the sea with him, and only the eternal waves know where it is...

Edmund had not slept so soundly for a long time.

When the first rays of sunlight came in, Edmund finally woke up.He stretched out his hand subconsciously, but found that he was not sleeping in the cabin.

He suddenly remembered that he was sleeping on Mel's bed, but Mel was not around.

For some reason, Edmund felt a little empty in his heart.After a brief wash, he walked out the door quickly.Mel was already standing outside the hotel in good spirits, waiting for him.They walked together along the path full of flowers to the harbor where the Maiden Amelie was moored.

The two of them didn't speak a word along the way, until they got back to the ship, Jacob came to remind them that it was time to go to Monte Cristo Island to load.

It was a small uninhabited island, isolated in the middle of the sea as early as the era of the evil god Macaulay.There are no soldiers or tax collectors on the island, so it is an excellent loading place.

It was nearly dusk when the Maiden Amelie arrived at Monte Cristo Island. At this moment, the top of Monte Cristo was dyed blood red by the fire-like sun, against the blue sky.Edmund, however, had a special feeling for this place, because Father Faria had mentioned this island more than once.

Will the legendary treasure be here too?

No, Edmund thought, if the treasure really existed, it would have been discovered by others long ago. After all, Monte Cristo Island has never had a cave where things can be hidden.

However, if he had the chance, he still wanted to investigate on the mountain.

After loading the goods, several ships went straight to the east.Maiden Amelie took the lead, followed by Macaulay.Under the leadership of Edmund, they avoided the Turkish patrolling warships and arrived safely at Shipwreck Bay.

However, when handing over to the so-called rebels, Mei Tess keenly noticed something was wrong.She recognized a person who had served under Fernand, and immediately judged that it was not the Greek rebels who picked them up, but spies bought by Turkey.

So the sailors of the smuggling ship and the group of Greeks belonging to the Turkish forces inevitably opened fire. They carried weapons from several ships and had enough firepower, but the enemy was superior in numbers.

Fortunately, the rebels arrived in time to support them.

And after this cooperation, the captain and Mei Tess seem to have a better understanding.

All this was seen by fellow Angelica.When passing by Monte Cristo Island again, she suggested that everyone rest there.

They lit a bonfire on the shore, and when Angelica came out of the Macaulay again, she was wearing a fiery red dress.

To the accompaniment of two mandolins, she and the sailors danced around the campfire.She attracted almost all eyes, but this did not satisfy her, because the eyes of the captain of the girl Amelie did not have the same brilliance as other men.

Instead, he chatted happily with Mel next to him.

After thinking for a while, Angelica walked straight towards them. She stretched out her hand, but instead of inviting Edmund, she invited Mei Tess.

Mei Tess became the envy and envy of everyone for a while, and they all thought that the captain of the Macaulay took a fancy to the sailor Mel.But that's not the case. Angelica almost danced with Mei Tess, just to make sure of one thing.

But even this matter became true, and Angelica had to give up.Subconsciously, she thought that the captain also knew that Mei Tess was a woman, and that he didn't feel for her because he already belonged to him.

After the song ended, Angelica looked at Edmund again.This time he did not look at her, nor at Mei Tess, but stared blankly at the lofty head of Monte Cristo.

She followed his gaze, and the rocks were showing changing twilight, from the lightest pink to the deepest dark blue...

Early the next morning Edmund proposed to go hunting.When Mei Tess was getting ready to pack, Angelica came to her side, "You like the captain, don't you?"

"What?" Plum Tess frowned tightly.

"If you like him, tell him." Anjelica raised her eyebrows, as if joking, "Otherwise I will snatch him away!"
