Wife of the Queen of the Black Butler

"The closer to the light, the less you can touch it! It's not because she is the closest to the angel's divinity, but, once she is contaminated by darkness, the negative emotions that have been suppressed for a long time will be like leeches that have been thirsty for blood for a long time. After encountering blood, it swelled desperately...

Therefore, the more pure and beautiful things, the darkness on the opposite side is unpredictable..."

—My dear Elizabeth, tell me, am I right?

——Alos Transi

In a secluded place on the outskirts of London, there is a beautiful city courtyard, which is also a home of the Duke Rose family.

Since Elizabeth insisted on leaving the palace, Queen Victoria couldn't do much to keep her. Therefore, the day after her injury stabilized, Elizabeth took her deacon and younger brother Iros (ie Alos) back to her home.

The reason why Elizabeth insisted on leaving the palace was not only to play the image of Elizabeth Tudor, but also to avoid the topic that Queen Victoria mentioned that day-Charles wanted to marry "himself".

Inside the Rose Manor outside London.

In Nanyuan, there is a pool with cool and flowing water.

This clear pool is surrounded by bright white roses.The breed is probably Lolimas, dyed in a sad color.

Elizabeth sat naked in the water quietly, her silver hair floating in the water, rippling with the flowing water.

Elizabeth's eyes are beautiful, the pure color is not stained with a trace of dust, but the color is also very thick, so thick that it can't even dissolve the most painful sorrow in my heart, so it looks extraordinarily alienated.

The water in the pool was a bit cold, but she didn't mind it. On the contrary, she felt that such a temperature would make her very at ease.

Elizabeth raised her head and looked at the clear sky with calm eyes.

One second, two seconds, the boredom in my heart is gradually inflated by this eternal picture!As if she could no longer bear this deep-seated grief, Elizabeth followed the trend of her body falling down and slowly fell into the water.

The surface of the water suddenly splashed with water.

The colder water from the bottom of the pool hits.Immediately, countless strands of cool water overflowed into the eyes.Also at that moment, Elizabeth's eyes turned scarlet.

After opening her eyes in the water for a long time, Elizabeth's pupils were sore for a while, and then she closed them forcefully, thinking of forgetting everything.

"Lissie..."

"Elizabeth Sauce~"

"Miss Elizabeth!"

"daughter……"

"younger sister."

"Ms. Elizabeth..."

In an instant, countless disturbing memories and video clips flooded into my mind. These sudden memories made Elizabeth seem a little flustered.

The heart became more and more irritable, and no matter how much pain there was, I couldn't express it. This kind of pain added to the weight of the shackles in my heart.Unable to escape, as if tied to a cross full of spells, the magic fire in my heart began to burn!

"Elizabeth, long time no see..."

The familiar voice suddenly entered the ear, so close.

Elizabeth suddenly opened her scarlet eyes, and then left the bottom of the water to look around, but there was no one in front of her, not even a ghost.

Delusion?

Elizabeth suddenly felt very tired, both physically and mentally; that kind of exhaustion is difficult to describe in words.

Immersed in the cold pool water again, the clear liquid swims in and out of the eyes, and my mood calms down inexplicably.The liquid transmits the sound, and Elizabeth clearly heard the joy and lightness of the gurgling water.

At this time, a few lolimas petals floated on the water and flowed to an invisible end.Everything seemed quiet and beautiful.

But she had a premonition—all of this was just a sign of a storm coming.

Elizabeth began to think about what had happened before, and she had a lot of confusion, for example, why did Charles want to marry "himself"—Elizabeth Tudor?Because he knew he was Elizabeth Midford?

Could this be the reason why he went to his head and had a showdown with Queen Victoria desperately to marry "himself"?

However, Elizabeth should not have drawn this conclusion.

She was afraid that things would not be as beautiful as she thought, she was afraid that her position in Charles' heart was not important, she was afraid that what Charles did was just for some benefit...

Just when Elizabeth was thinking wildly, Fulina walked over with exquisite clothes, "Your Excellency..."

Elizabeth, who came back to her senses, waved her hand, signaling her to put the clothes away first.

After Fulina put it away, she approached Elizabeth and asked, "My beautiful Duke, do you want me to change your clothes?"

"Furina, how is your injury?" Elizabeth casually started the topic before getting out of the bath.

"...The Duke is worried. That injury is nothing." Fulina answered very respectfully, uncharacteristically.

Such a respectful attitude actually made Elizabeth feel uncomfortable - obviously this woman doesn't like the cumbersome aristocratic etiquette at all.

Elizabeth looked at Fulina inquisitively.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Fulina had to ask after being watched for a long time.

"Flena, are you hiding something from me?" Elizabeth said with certainty.

Fulina raised her eyebrows indecently, "What is the Duke referring to?"

"..." Elizabeth didn't say anything, she just suddenly felt that Fulina seemed a little different from the Fulina she knew in memory, but Elizabeth didn't know exactly where.

After nearly ten seconds of silence, Elizabeth gradually realized what was strange about Fulina.So, she asked, "Flena, we went back to Rose Manor that night...what happened?"

Elizabeth didn't know that Charles was there in the Rose Manor that night, and saw her extremely depraved and crazy side.

Elizabeth didn't know that she was almost taken away by A Weici that night.She only vaguely remembered that she seemed a little out of control after seeing Aweiz, and then seemed to have sucked the blood of Alos who came in time (Alos explained to Elizabeth in this way).

Alos explained all these to herself one by one, but Elizabeth herself felt that there were big loopholes and... a sense of violation in Aros' explanation and narration.

Because Elizabeth felt that the blood she sucked was not from Alos, but if it wasn't from Aros, who would it be?Elizabeth couldn't tell, but she was always suspicious.

And today, she discovered something strange about Fulina again, which further deepened Elizabeth's suspicions.

"Flena?" Elizabeth was sure that Alos was lying, and that Flena was also lying.

"...Duke, it's better to keep some things mysterious~" Fulina showed a charming smile.A look of cynicism.

"Flena!" Elizabeth hated someone who pretended to conceal the truth, so her tone became more serious.

"..." Fulina remained silent.

"Heh... If you don't want to say something, why do you have to act strange to make me feel confused?" Although Elizabeth was angry, her mind was very clear.

If Fulina really didn't want to tell the truth, and was really worried that the so-called truth would hurt Elizabeth, she wouldn't let her catch her while she was serving Elizabeth.

So obviously, Fleurina did it on purpose.

Elizabeth expressed that she hated the affectation.

"Yes yes yes~" Fulina waved her hands indifferently, and then reminded, "Master Duke, I am still worried that you will...!"

Before Fulina could finish her sentence, Elizabeth pulled out a bright long sword out of nowhere and pointed it at her throat.

Elizabeth had completely stood up from the pool, and she took the clean bath towel sent by Fulina to cover her body.

The long sword probably crossed the cold pool water, so there were still drops of water dripping on the edge of the sword.

——Duke, can you tell me how you hid such a long sword by your side?

Fulina said she wanted to complain.

"...Duke, Earl Charles Fadomhine was also there that night. He and his black deacon broke into the Rose Manor." Seeing how determined Elizabeth was, Flena finished speaking in one breath.

After listening, Elizabeth was very calm.

Flena was a little surprised. Her lord the Duke obviously cared so much about Charles Fadomhine's feelings. After hearing such news, how could he have no emotions at all?

Elizabeth withdrew the long sword with a calm expression, and then threw it forcefully behind her, only to hear a "bang--", the long sword sank into the hard stone.

Fulina understood immediately.

Then, there is silence.

Elizabeth wiped her body with a bath towel slowly, without saying a word.Moment of silence, long silence.

It was not until a long time later that Fulina heard Elizabeth's calm voice,

"It's clear now...why he wants to marry 'Elizabeth Tudor', it's because he feels he owes Elizabeth Midford..."

Elizabeth's hand was grabbed as she wiped her body.
