Pirates of the Caribbean Princess Bella

James Norrington's expression froze for a moment, and then he retracted his smile; Lizzy glanced at me, then looked at her father, Will sat there in embarrassment; my father had a complex expression on his face, and he looked at me carefully.I froze for a while, and said to Kerim: "Tell the carriage to wait for me for 5 minutes." Kerim nodded with a smile and left the restaurant.

James didn't say anything, just bowed his head and continued to eat.

Father cleared his throat, ready to speak: "Well, Isabella—"

I interrupted him: "Dad, this is already my habit." Father's face darkened a little, but he stopped talking.

I wiped my mouth lightly, got up and went upstairs to change clothes, and slowly walked down the stairs on the other side.This staircase does not pass through the dining room, so I chose this; now I don't know how to face my father and James on this matter, but it is better not to show up in front of my father, lest he raise his blood pressure again.

The carriage became so familiar now that I passed it without seeing the splendid arms and decorations; but on closer inspection I saw that standing beside the carriage was not the usual Lobster Soldier but Beckett himself. !Under the blue three-cornered hat, the silver wig is extremely dazzling, almost dazzling.I froze for a second, then continued to walk towards him; he smiled slightly and opened the car door.

I silently climbed into the carriage, and he followed suit.

The carriage moved.

The carriage was a little dark, and I heard him say: "The breakfast in the office is too simple, but today there is coffee with cream." He was very happy today, but unfortunately I didn't have this mood, and I didn't know what to say.Do you want me to say, have you eaten today?

Seeing that I was silent, he gently took my hand.

Because I was thinking about what happened last night and today, my hands were cold and slightly sweaty.

He paused, looked at me carefully, the warm hands also cooled instantly, and then let go.

After a brief silence, he spoke in an extremely indifferent tone: "Maybe it's because the days have been too much... In short, I have become dull. Your Excellency Viscount, should I congratulate you and Mr. Major General?"

I was silent for a while and said, "James had a long talk with me last night."

Even if there is no light, I can still see the change of this person's face, like a piece of iron, white and cold, and very stiff.Before I could say anything more, he called out to the coachman outside: "Thomson, turn around." The coachman responded, stopped the carriage slowly, and then turned around; I looked at him in surprise, with a slight expression on his face nothing.

"What are you doing?" I asked involuntarily.

He looked at me with an ugly smirk on his face: "Without my fiancé's permission, I will not take someone else's fiancée away."

I almost laughed angrily: "Fiancee? Don't you think he and I are engaged?"

"..." He didn't answer, just looked at me coldly.

I don't want to explain anything.Although a lot of misunderstandings were cleared up last night, I didn't feel that James and I were getting engaged or anything; maybe a year ago, if we could have such a heart-to-heart talk... It's just a pity, although he has Most of the explanations are clear, but my mood can't go back to the past.In this gloomy carriage, Norrington's memory drifted away unconsciously, leaving only a blank space in his mind, which was uncomfortably empty, as if filled with wind.

Before I could react, the carriage had stopped again.

"Here, go down." He said coldly.

I raised my eyebrows: "Your Excellency, your concern is too broad-Thomson, go!" It turned out that while I was angry, I glanced outside through the window, and the driver was driving too fast. In the blink of an eye He actually returned to the Governor's Mansion again, and Norrington was being sent out by his father!It was a perfect coincidence... Before they could respond, I quickly knocked hard on the car board.

The coachman was quite clever, and with a flick of his whip, they were left behind in an instant.

Beckett fixedly looked at me, and after a long time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When I got home that day, my father sent Lizzy, Will, Billy Jr., and all the servants down, and asked me what I thought of Norrington.

I confess that I am too weak a man; it was only a mere setback, and my former friendship with Norrington so many years was gone; but I did not want to hide anything from my father, and I spoke quite frankly.After hearing this, my father was stunned for nearly a century before he said bitterly: "It's a pity, Isabella, your great fate... just broke up like this. Norrington will be very sad. I also hope, Beckett is worthy of you." After speaking, he shook his head and walked upstairs slowly.

I couldn't help laughing when I heard him muttering things like "Damn pirate" and "Damn Beckett" as he went up the stairs.

The next few days were peaceful.

Norrington remained a gentleman, and occasionally came to dine with us at the Governor's House; and he kept his promise not to join the expedition, though I think my words should no longer bind him.After getting up every day, I wash and wash, tease little Billy with Lizzy, drink morning tea with my father, listen to his constant nagging—I found that my father is getting older than before—and talk to Will again. After chatting, Beckett's carriage will arrive.

The blue and white office is calm and warm, and the bright Caribbean Sea can be seen through the windows.

already used to it.

The strong aroma of coffee, the faint fragrance of hyacinth and forget-me-not, together with the sometimes salty and sometimes fresh sea breeze, makes people feel strange, and they feel inseparable after smelling it for a long time.

He was right, on such a leisurely day, he became lazy, and I became lazy; so lazy that I didn't notice certain changes.

Until one evening, he personally sent me home and sat in the living room.

Nora sent mellow black tea and delicious snacks.

We sat at the little round table by the window, eating slowly; he ate so slowly that I wondered if he had already had his afternoon tea.

After a cup of tea bottomed out, he said quietly, "Isabella, I've had a good time these past few months."

I smiled and ate a piece of snack: "I'm very happy."

He put down the teacup, untied his collar a little, and took out a silver chain from it; I was surprised to see that on the silver chain was fastened a very delicate sapphire ring, white gold ring and setting, with delicate patterns around the gemstone. .I asked inexplicably, "Why don't you wear your ring on your finger?"

He smiled: "The other one hasn't got her consent yet, so I can't wear it."

I froze for a moment, before I could speak, he said again: "I think, you understand what I mean."

I was stunned and didn't answer.

"Little skeptic," he put the ring back in place calmly, "but I have something to tell you today. I—I'm leaving tomorrow."

The spoon landed on a silver plate: "Let's go? Where are you going?"

"Spanish, we're going to get ahead of them," he shrugged, as if to say something insignificant: "I accepted the king's commission, after the death of Baron Garter—"

"You are crazy," I looked at him in astonishment. "Your lord, don't you know Baron Garter?"

"On the contrary, I know him," Cutler Beckett said with a relaxed smile, "a fool without a brain, but I have to admit that he was indeed a good sword for the former queen, that's all. Now, this sword has Lost it, I think it's time for a new, sharper one for the Kingdom."

I looked at him fixedly, as if I didn't know him, but there was no tension or solemnity in those blue-green eyes, and there was still a smile on his face, and he wiped his mouth gracefully with a silk handkerchief The creamy froth, and even commented leisurely: "I will pay my respects to the kitchen maid later, it is indeed very delicious."

"Are you completely crazy?" I asked irritably. "Tell me first, how much do you know about mermaids? How much do you know about witches' magic?"

He nodded slightly: "I've heard about the mermaid, but I don't think it's a problem. It's just a little trouble."

The strange thing is that I usually feel refreshed when I drink tea, but now I feel a little sleepy - I tried to open my eyes, but I only felt that there seemed to be a layer of clouds moving in front of me.

I did shake a bit.

He disappeared from my sight, and a cold hand grabbed my arm: "Your Excellency, there is something wrong with you."

I was dizzy and said: "I see...it's the tea...something is wrong..." Trying to open my eyes, I suddenly realized that his cup of tea didn't seem to be moving at all?

There was a whisper in my ear: "Isabella, your adventurous spirit makes me admire, but it also worries me."

I grabbed his hand with difficulty, trying to hear what he said.

The medicinal effect in the tea was fully exerted at this time.

Isabella struggled to fall asleep.

Cutler Beckett hugged her, with a complicated smile on his usual pale face.

The former Queen's faction and the King's faction are now evenly matched. If it hadn't been for the death of Baron Garter a few days ago, the former Queen's faction might have overtaken one. Beckett was the first to take over. In fact, there are not many practical people in the King's faction. Earl Catrick is a perfect conceiver and a faithful believer in Machiavellianism, but it is a pity that this person has a very A shrewd and sinister mind was accompanied by an unlucky and weak body, so he had to send someone else for these things.

This also explains why in the original history, after Beckett died, the poor king had to join forces with pirates to seize the secret of the Fountain of Youth.

Isabella is no longer hostile to him, he has his wish, and he also knows that it may be extremely difficult for the Swann family to accept him.

He was determined to win the title of earl.

Catrick promised him that as long as he succeeds this time, he will be able to get a promotion order signed by the king and an earl fief close to Scotland.It would be his dowry to Isabella, he thought rather bitterly, just as Norrington married others with his promotion and the title of brigadier general; The idea is still the same as these aristocratic fools.If not for herself, then for Isabella—or rather, for her family, for her abominable father.

Isabella.

He couldn't help smiling.

The beautiful name is enough to make him happy before it reaches his lips; those pure blue eyes, no matter they are angry, indifferent, expressionless, or slightly joyful, just looking at them can make his heart feel happy. His heart became soft and warm, he just felt enveloped by the bright sunshine, and couldn't help but want to get closer - he didn't like this feeling, but he was unconsciously attracted by it, and then - he fell into it, pulling it hard but pulling it out Can't come out, still today.

He stared at Bella's white forehead, hesitated for a long time, and kissed it: "Goodbye..."

The living room door opened.

The ones who walked in were the beautiful and vigilant Elizabeth, and the gray-haired, cold and slightly disgusted Earl Merrill, Governor Wetherby Swan.

The governor took a few steps quickly, took the eldest daughter into his arms, and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Lord, I hope your behavior can be worthy of the title of nobility. At least don't do certain things to my daughter." Elizabeth held her hand in concern. Isabella's hand, ringing the bell for the maid to bring the coat.

Cutler Beckett bowed coldly, and said: "Please take good care of her. If I don't come back, please give her this letter, and ask her to remember the key and my cabinet in the office. Goodbye, Mr. Earl , Mrs. Turner." He stood up briskly, took one last look at the sleeping woman, and then walked out the door without hesitation.After walking out of the solemn gate, he finally turned his head and looked at the white mansion.

☆、Tragedy ending one

Autumn to spring.

Year after year passed.

Swan House remains immaculate.

Mr. Governor has long since retired, his hair is all white, and he doesn't even need a wig; his body is gradually weakening, and he spends most of the day in front of the fireplace.He's used to putting his feet toasting in front of the fireplace, and wrinkled hands won't stop him from galloping or firing decisively.The only thing that comforts him is that Elizabeth's children are still willing to surround the old man. The eldest son Billy is already a 13-year-old boy, and the two daughters Elisa and Bell are ten years old and six years old. When lively and lovely, the elderly are extremely happy.

But when there is no one, he still misses his beloved late wife and his eldest daughter Isabella who entered the monastery.

The bad news 11 years ago.

He didn't feel sorry for Beckett, but he couldn't persuade his disheartened daughter.

A month after the bad news, Isabella left her home one dim dawn for her Abbey in Sussex.He and Norrington, who had heard the news, chased after him closely, and finally caught up with the man at the gate of the monastery; it was a pity that Isabella had made up her mind, and he couldn't drag her back, so she could only let her daughter walk into the tall wall .

Blame Beckett.

Before the expedition, Beckett left Bella a key. On the third day after the news of Beckett's disappearance, Isabella opened Beckett's office safe.

Inside is a blue envelope.

Everything was left to Bella, including the fatal letter and the sapphire ring.Only then did the Governor know that Beckett wanted to propose to Isabella before leaving, but he thought that his title was not enough, so he accepted the most dangerous mission and went to Whitecap Bay, never returning.The sapphire ring, which was their engagement ring, Beckett would never know, Bella would say yes to him if he returned safely.

Governor Swan tried his best, but couldn't persuade his daughter to come back, and finally he had to leave.

Norrington did not leave.

Next to the monastery stood a small house.

From that day on, there was an additional monk outside the monastery. This man had a handsome face and blue glasses, and he was loved by the peasant girls around him. He cut firewood and carried water every day, and when he was free, he stared at the monastery wall in a daze.

Abbey visitors fixed.

For the first ten years, the visitors were an elderly gentleman and a couple;

In the second ten years, the old gentleman was no longer among the visitors, only the couple and their children;

In the fourth decade, the visitors to the monastery gradually disappeared;

In the fifth decade, on a bright and beautiful spring day, the novice nun knocked on the door and walked into the dean's prayer room: "Madam?"

The dean stopped praying, but didn't look back: "What's the matter, Sissy?"

"...Mr. monk," the trainee nun Sissy said hesitantly, not noticing the headmaster's momentary stiffness: "Mr. monk, he passed away last night."

A moment of silence.

The elderly dean looked at the bright sky outside the window and nodded: "Understood, I will pray for him, please take good care of his back." Sissy agreed to leave.

how beautiful the sky is.

☆、Comedy ending one

Isabella opened her eyes suddenly, and at a glance, she saw a delicate white mosaic relief ceiling, which was simple and elegant; only then did she realize that there was a little sweat on her forehead, and she wiped it away gently.What puzzled her was how could she have such a nightmare?Even if life is already very satisfying?She took a deep breath, lifted the soft thin quilt, and sat up in a daze.After being stunned for two seconds, she seemed to remember something, and stretched out her hand to touch her side: Sure enough, his hand was cold, where did this unlucky guy go? !

After returning from Whitecap Bay, half a year has passed by in a hurry.

First, someone's earl promotion ceremony, and the grand marriage proposal that followed; thinking of this, she couldn't help gritting her teeth, it was just a poor marriage proposal, as for it?Flowers, bands, ribbons, pigeons, champagne, plus a string of scary diamond necklaces, so that everyone in Port Royal didn't know what to say, thinking it was a formal engagement ceremony!Amidst the melodious and beautiful music, someone knelt down on one knee and solemnly presented the sapphire ring. She was so angry that she ran away on the spot, leaving a group of people in a daze at the port, followed by a silver-haired "noble" "!"

In the end, she didn't know where she ran, and she was blocked by him in a dead end.

No one around.

She doesn't know, is this a marriage proposal or a forced marriage?

After being rejected, he was not discouraged, but calmly put away the ring: "I am patient, as long as you don't marry Norrington." After that, he helped her leave here, and said, "If you are not physically strong, run away." After such a long journey, I'm panting like this." She stared angrily, pushed him hard and he didn't let go, so she could only go home slowly.

For more than a month since then, he has become a regular guest at the Swan House.

Even the governor of Swan was pestered by him to kill a lot of temper, but Isabella still didn't let go.

He never mentioned his adventures in Whitecap Bay, except for one sentence: "There are not too many mermaid corpses there."

But this person must leave after dinner.

One stormy evening, when he was about to leave after dinner, Isabella said, "There is a guest room on the first floor." So, he didn't go back that day, and stayed overnight in the Swann mansion, under the close supervision of the governor of course. under.It's just that the governor is old, and he fell asleep after staring at it for a long time. At this time, the hidden door of the room opened, and Isabella came in fully dressed.

He held her shoulder: "why not accept it."

"In that cup of tea, is the sleeping pill you put?" Isabella stared straight at him, "I don't need a husband who can hypnotize me at any time."

"I know, you didn't let Norrington take risks, so I didn't tell you in advance," Beckett sighed, "I think your adventurous spirit is no less than that of Elizabeth, so... I will never do it again I will never hide anything from now on."

The flame that remained in the fireplace flickered on and off.

She still remembers the feeling of that kiss, her lips are like her own, cold but extremely soft.

The engagement ceremony a week later was extremely grand.

In view of this person has premeditated.

The wedding three months later made the people of Port Royal talk about it for half a century. They said that the marriage of the king's daughter was nothing more than that.Isabella Laswan has since changed her name to Isabella Laswan Beckett, if she did not deliberately ignore the word "Germany" which symbolizes nobility in front; she has also become the Countess of Livingston since then, because Livingston It is Beckett's fiefdom in Scotland, and he is naturally the Earl of Livingston.

Governor Swan still hated Beckett.

The new Earl of Livingston is very popular with the emperor. After getting married, he has a lot of time to run around, but he tries his best to leave these things to capable subordinates, and he prefers to accompany (haunt) Isa Bella.But there are a lot of things going on recently, so sometimes Isabella will encounter such a situation: after sleeping late, she finds that she is not around, and she has been away for a long time.

But this time she guessed wrong.

As soon as she put on her slippers, the door was gently pushed open: "...Bella?"

Beckett had obviously just rushed back, covered in dust and dust, with a little dew on his hair.He took off his cloak, threw it on the chair beside him, and pushed the person who had just woken up back to the bed: "It's cold outside, and it's foggy." Located by the sea, even if it's just the beginning of autumn and it's foggy again, the weather will much colder than the mainland.Isabella's eyes were sleepy, she didn't hear clearly at all, she just dragged him and asked, "Where have you been?"

"Performance, recently it is said that there are cursed pirate ships cruising around, it is not safe," Beckett grilled in front of the fireplace, changed his coat and put on home clothes, "Another one who does not want to cooperate with us, the elm head , even that villain Barbossa bowed his head..." As he commented on the pirates he had dealt with and the pirates he was about to confront, he stood in front of the fireplace and baked again; he was not cold, at the extreme end of Botany Bay I have long been used to the climate, but I feel sorry for the fragility of my new wife, so I keep turning over in front of the fireplace like a roast goose.

After being thoroughly warmed up, he stopped talking about official business and sat by the bed.

Isabella was confused for a while before seeing his expression clearly, and her face immediately flushed.

She gritted her teeth slightly, refusing to pay attention to someone's expectant look.

She still remembers that on the wedding night, she acted like a fool who didn't know anything, only Lizzy helped her comb her hair, mumbled something she didn't understand, and then pushed her in.Afterwards, her behavior was still no different from that of a fool, even though it was her first marriage including her past and present lives; fortunately, this guy was patient and gentle, otherwise she guessed that she would have been a fool to the end.She even wondered if her Chinese name could be changed to "One Silly Bella"!

From then on, Beckett could only look at her every day and night, with... expectant eyes.

He held one of her hands, and gently stroked the soft palm with his fingertips; she trembled invisibly, secretly hating that this person had a good memory!Even so, she insisted on refusing to agree, letting the tingling in her palm spread all over her body.After a while, he rested his head on her shoulder and took a deep breath: "By the way, you haven't had breakfast yet...I'm going to ring the bell."

She immediately protested: "I said, I don't need to eat in bed,"

"Okay," he still couldn't help it, and kissed her lightly on the top of her hair.

Beckett went to Swan House himself to inform the governor of the good news.

The Countess of Livingstone is pregnant.

Although Governor Swan hated Beckett, he was also very happy about the news; immediately, he ordered someone to pack the countess and bring the eldest daughter back to take good care of her.Beckett was extremely reluctant, but he could only succumb to the majesty of his father-in-law, and lived in the Swann mansion every day to take care of his wife; during this period, his relationship with the governor and others eased slightly, although it was far from average family level.

until nine months later.

With trembling hands, Beckett took the newborn son from the midwife; he walked into the delivery room with his son in his arms, looked at Isabella who fell into a coma, and shed tears for the first time in his life.This child, after being awakened, was given the vulgar name Edward by her mother, and took her father's name as a middle name, and her full name was Edward Weatherby Cutler.

Because of the birth of this child, the relationship between Beckett and the governor finally eased completely.

Edward was a handsome boy, having inherited the color of his mother's eyes, the pure sky blue; the old Governor loved them, and cared little for the resemblance of the child's face to Becket's.And the child later had a younger brother and a younger sister named James Beckett and Alyssa Beckett respectively.

The Earl of Livingston's family is prosperous and enviable.

The only girl, Alyssa, has inherited her father's blue-green eyes, but she is not as cold as her father; there is a grandfather who loves her and is a governor, a father who holds important positions, and a mother who holds a double title , with two older brothers who inherited her father's tough style, she has undoubtedly become the happiest child in the family.

Over the years -

What is the future for Viscount Edward Livingston (who is also Viscount Merrill, acquired by his mother)?

Can James Beckett win the favor of Eleanor Hurst (daughter of the Marchioness of Anna Albyhurst)?

And who will Alyssa (Baron Wilworth, obtained from her mother) choose, Prince William's youngest son Henry, or the Spanish noble Don Velles?

☆、Comedy ending [-]

Isabella opened her eyes, and after being dazed for three seconds, she sighed slightly.She had an absurd dream, dreaming that Cutler Beckett, who died many years ago, was not actually dead, and married her!She got up slowly, rubbing her eyes and watching the white embroidered curtains by the window fluttering gently in the breeze, remembering her current identity.With arms around her waist, she lowered her head and looked at the sleeping man. Perhaps because of her movements, he moved uncomfortably, and murmured in a daze in her sleep: "Isabella..."

She smiled.

After several years of marriage, he still couldn't change his original address.

She doesn't know if she is happy.

After Lord Beckett's death she had intended to go to Sussex, to see the man's former homeland; but James took a long leave of absence and set out to follow her there.On the desolate plains of Sussex, James accompanied her to find the original Beckett Manor, and stayed with her in a daze at night.A month later, she came to her senses and finally saw the person by her side; James followed her up and down, haggard a lot, his thin cheeks were slightly sunken inwards, and there were many blue stubbles on his chin; although he was haggard, But when she looked over, she still smiled slightly.

Beside the fire in the night, she took her callused hands and held them gently.

Immediately grasped tightly.

Those blue eyes that had fascinated her for many years shone with crystal light.

But they all know that there is a shadow of another person in the intimate mood after all.

A year later, they held their wedding in a very low-key manner, and there were not many people present, except for the governor, the Turners and their children, and a few ordinary friends in the port.Before marriage, James bought a small house, and the two lived there after marriage.All the facilities in the house are based on the Governor's Mansion, even the curtains are of the same style; therefore, when Isabella woke up a few months ago, she always felt... that she was still in the Swan Mansion, everything was fine, and the years were peaceful.

Unfortunately, these are just her delusions.

London is not very peaceful.

The former Queen's faction and the King's faction were inextricably contested, and the sacrifice of Beckett and the sudden death of Earl Catrick (the king's think tank) gave the former Queen's faction a great advantage; two years later, Crown Prince Richard and Prince William launched a coup and succeeded George II was imprisoned in the Tower of London, and the deposed king died mysteriously three months later.Since then, Richard ascended the throne and became Richard IV, Prince William added two vast fiefs, the Marquess of Alby was crowned Duke, Anna Alby married an earl with a prominent family background, and the former Queen's faction won a complete victory .

Lord Beckett, as a loyal servant of the former king's faction, certainly did not receive preferential treatment.

His original family manor was taken back by the new emperor Richard. If it wasn't for Isabella Norrington's request, maybe even the tomb would not be kept.Norrington also made great efforts in this coup and was promoted to lieutenant general; the military power of Port Royal was completely in his hands, and the Swann family also controlled part of the military power because of their marriage with him. Governor Swann finally no longer A figurehead governor.

She should be happy.

Anyway, she achieved her goal, didn't she?Relatives are safe, friends are safe, and even "enemies" die in time... But for some reason, she doesn't feel too much joy, even though this situation is what she was most looking forward to when she first came to this world.

She felt it herself, how could James Norrington not feel it.Before he got married, he specially decorated the new house to look like the governor's mansion. This method was still effective at the beginning. When Isabella woke up several mornings, she would show the same shallow and comfortable smile as she did many years ago when she was ignorant and confused; It's just that as time went by, Isabella gradually remembered that it was no longer the old days, and that nostalgic smile gradually disappeared.He also thought about other methods, but unfortunately it didn't work. Isabella seemed to be a tree that survived the storm, standing there with lush branches and leaves, but there was no movement, like a fake bonsai.

He regained consciousness a little, and let go of his hand.

In the third year of their marriage, Governor Wetherby Swan fell seriously ill.On the hospital bed, he held the hands of Isabella and James tightly, and put the two hands together; he looked into Isabella's clear eyes, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "Son, I'm leaving, and I'm going to find your mother. I know what you're feeling, but Lord Beckett (this is the first time he's referring to that person by his title) is gone, and you have to go on your way."

Isabella smiled slightly, and the tears she had held back for a long time poured out.

"Norrington will make a good husband," he finally told his daughter.

After the Governor passed away, Isabella Swann inherited her father's title as Viscount Merrill and Wilworthy and lived in Swann Mansion.On the first night home, she stared at the portrait of her parents for a long time in the living room, silent; On this fireplace, she was ashamed to face Isabella, but she cared about him very much, and didn't care whether he was disheartened or not.

He also thought of the beautiful blue navy uniform in the big dusty box with delicate ribbon flowers.

The scenes are so similar, and now they are all covered with honor, but it is a pity that their state of mind cannot go back to the past.

A light cough pulled him back from his memories, and Isabella stood beside him: "It's getting late, go to sleep."

He reached out his hand abruptly and grabbed her: "I don't love Elizabeth."

Isabella smiled and nodded: "Yes."

"On the Black Pearl, I never thought of doing that," he added.

She paled a little.Although her affection for James was not what it had been now, the mention of that incident still pained her heart.

"I didn't drink too much," he continued.

She could see that if he had been drinking heavily, he would not have recovered from the dizziness so quickly when he got Davy Jones' heart that day.

"..." He seemed to have finished what he wanted to say, but he found that he couldn't shake her mood, so he couldn't help feeling extremely frustrated.Isabella looked at him quietly, without saying a word, and moved when he saw that he had finished speaking; he mistakenly thought that Isabella was going to leave, so he stood up impatiently: "Me!"

She looked at the man's anxious expression under the firelight of the fireplace, and her heart softened slightly: "I know all about it."

I know it all.

Years later.

The British ambassador to Spain, Andre Norrington, hurried back to the mansion with his wife, Beatriz Carlos. His position was temporarily held by the secretary of the embassy; speed to Port Royal.The father was seriously ill, and the mother had no choice but to write such an urgent letter to disturb the only son's affairs after seeking medical treatment in every possible way.

When he came back, he didn't let anyone announce him loudly, but quietly came to the second floor.He wanted to knock on the door and go in, but what he saw through the crack of the door made him stand quietly outside the door.

"Stop busying yourself," said James, in his twilight years, who couldn't bear to watch his wife hustle and bustle about all this futile work.Doesn't he know himself?

Fighting pirates for many years, after all, he has left some hidden wounds, and it is not easy to support him until now.

Isabella heated up the medicine, added some sugar to it, and put it near his lips: "Stop talking nonsense, take medicine."

He stubbornly refused to open his mouth.

Seeing that he really didn't want to take it, Isabella sighed and put down the medicine: "If you don't take medicine, how can you get better?"

He stretched out his hand tremblingly; that hand was covered with muscles and skin, and was extremely thin.Isabella has spent more than 40 years with him, how could she not know what he meant, she quickly stretched out her hand and put it in his.There was a lot of sweat in the palm of the hand, and it was slightly cold.

James smiled and closed his eyes: "This way...you can't leave..."

Andre went downstairs quietly. A man in his thirties, and the ambassador of the British Empire for many years, he is now mobilizing all his muscles and nerves to control his tears and his mouth that is about to make a sound.

☆、Tragedy ending [-]

Cutler Beckett stood in the cemetery, carefully looking at a newly completed white tombstone, without any expression on his face.There were more than a dozen wounds on his body, none of which was bigger or more painful than the wound on his heart; the handwriting on the white tombstone was quite simple, but the pattern was extremely complicated.He found it ridiculous that people who should have no place to bury came back alive, and those who shouldn't have left suddenly left. What kind of thing is this... The palm of his hand was bleeding, he touched the tombstone gently for the last time, and then strode forward Turn around and walk out of the cemetery.

Half a month after the news of his "death" came, when Isabella was in a daze facing the window in his office, a gun was aimed quietly from outside, and the muzzle pointed at
