Dreams of Moon Light at a Glance (7)
Chapter 21: Dreams of the Moonlight at a Glance (7)
With the candlelight extinguished, the silvery moonlight crept onto the dusty surface of the table.
Sitting at the table quietly under his illumination, Lorist thought that the moon was really bright tonight.
The sound of a horse carriage sounded from a distance. Quickly, the voice stopped nearby and a curled sound from the horse followed by the sound of an open door was heard. Lorist listened to the familiar sound of footsteps heard above the building when it stopped outside the door.
The door slammed open and candlelight filled the room, dispelling the illusion of peace and mystique created by moonlight.
Miss Windsor was standing by the door wearing a white sleeveless dress. This was definitely one of the dresses I had designed, but with a little more gold thread embroidery than the one I drew. The pure white dress somehow looks seductive and seductive when she wears it. Perhaps because he had rushed back from the party somewhere, he seemed to be panting.
The two understood that if they missed each other today, they might never be able to meet again.
In a calm voice, Lorist said, “Can you blow out the candles? I think I prefer the soft light of the silver moon tonight. ”
Blowing the candle and putting it in the corner, the young mistress of Windsor quietly walked into the soft embrace of the moon and stopped quietly in her footsteps, silent like a quiet night illuminated by moonlight.
None of them made a sound. Lorist felt a thousand emotions as he looked at the girl before him who used to be the most important person in the world leaving him for another man. When he initially heard about the affair, he rushed to his side with a panicked heart. But now, while it was still painful for him to recall their past, he no longer felt the desire to be with her.
"Should I call you Madam Marchioness?" said Lorist, interrupting the silence in the room.
“You already know?” The girl said while raising her head.
“When I was in Relic Islands three months ago, I met a group of mercenaries from the Jigda Kingdom who said that the marquis from Lorf's house would hold a banquet at the end of the year in the capital to celebrate the marriage. They were on the islands in the name of Lorfs to obtain some valuable ingredients for the banquets. During their free time, when they guessed the identity of the second wife, I already knew it was you. ”
Smiling lightly, Lorist said, “You did well enough to hide the news. I'm sure that no one else in this town knows that you've accepted the Marquis' proposal three months ago, including even your maids. Lina even told me not to break up with you just now, hehe .. ”
"I had no choice, Locke. I know you hate me for leaving you to power. That's all I have to do for my family, ” said the girl as she sat on the floor, tears streaming down her face. “Since you left, he used his family's influence to force the other four nobles to return power to Windsor's house. But that power was still under relentless assault from the rulers and severely injured Knight Hurd in the process as well as leaving Knight Somm in disarray. They sent their troops disguised as bandits and burned our farmland and sold the people they captured to slave traders. There's no way a dominion can thrive with all this happening.
“At that time he offered me advice. If I agree to marry her, she will deploy a family army to help the Windsor family out in the name of family ties. I have agreed to his proposal and as we finish the ceremony back in the capital city of Jigda, the Lorf family will declare war on the other four territorial lords. At that time, his army would besiege the dominance of the other four rulers and wipe out the influence of the four families, giving time for Windsor's power to recuperate and rebuild. ”
The girl kept chatting quickly, seemingly in a hurry to finish what she had to say, "Only Suzy knows about my agreement to marry him, everyone, even Lina, does, it was kept in the dark so that the four royal lords would not know about the marriage alliance to be formed. He told me that it would only work if the marriage was shocking, and that once the marriage was announced, the Jigda nobles would have no time to react to the surprise attack. After the four royal lords have been defeated, we will get the official sanction of the royal family to rule over power so that no other noble can have a say in it. With the Lorf family as supporters, a tragedy like the one that happened to my father will no longer happen to the Windsor house. ”
Lorist tried to hide his admiration for the elaborate planning that governed the entire plan. The original plan was to use the rebels to slowly draw out the power of the other four ruling lords and eventually overwhelm them with the full force of the resistance forces when the time was right and send representatives from the Windsor house to hold peace negotiations with other rulers. After that, the Windsor house only needed to defend the elite military forces to defend itself from invasion or other attacks as their power spent time rebuilding.
But the intervention of the marquis has disrupted the entire operation and forced the four rulers to return the ruling rights to the Windsors and effectively made them indebted to the Lorf house. After that, Windsor's house would then add rebel soldiers to their military ranks to bolster the defense of power. The other four families of the previous ruling lords would naturally be furious at the infidelity and the damage done to their troops and would naturally cause as many problems as they could to mess things up.
The situation in dominance suddenly underwent a major change: the resistance army had become a garrison force of official domination while the power of the previous rulers had become a rebel force. Unable to cope with the sudden change, the Windsor family could only endure the situation. Suddenly, the marquis of the Lorf family will then descend like a messiah and propose a marriage alliance with the mistress of Windsor and promise to deploy their forces to defeat the enemies of the Windsor house and exterminate the four families, here they would restore the king's dominance to the royal family and divide the remaining land between Lorf's house and Windsor, earning Lorf's house both the correct name as well as making loyal allies of the Windsor family.
Would he kill five or even six birds with one stone? Lorist only let out a long sigh in his heart. As an outsider, he felt that the Lorf family may have been planning this since the Windsor house began resistance operations. They subconsciously go with the flow and sneak into the heat of action and effectively take over the entire operation. It was obvious that the Lorf family had the best to profit from the whole affair. There are more marquis characters from the Lorf family than meets the eye.
Seeing the girl who solemnly thought that the Lorf family intervention was beneficial to the Windsors, Lorist suddenly felt disappointed. Is this really the girl he loved so much in the past? Is this the angel he holds so deeply in his heart? Vain and ignorant, he was still unaware that he had been used as a pawn in the plans of others. Poor young cashier, what good are you besides your beauty?
Don't act like you're sacrificing your own happiness to enter this marriage alliance with the Lorf family. Isn't this what you wanted from the beginning? As marchioness, you will wander like those royal families day in and out and stand above so many others in a position worthy of much admiration and jealousy. Isn't this the life you always wanted? Oh, naive young mistress .. This will not strengthen the strength of your family at all, and the party you attend will also not glorify the reputation of your family. Being completely dependent on the Lorf family is similar to being used unconsciously by others and finding nothing wrong with it. There is no better ally than yourself. When will you understand that simple fact, young mistress?
Sigh, this has nothing to do with me, Lorist thought as he shook his head lazily. He suddenly thought that everything about breaking up with her was somewhat laughable. Now that he had finally let go, he felt a lot of relief and catharsis, as if he had managed to put aside a huge burden.
"What's up, Locke?" Asked the girl curiously after seeing Lorist shake his head.
"Yes, right," said the girl, nodding. “I feel like I'm being caressed affectionately by her in her warm embrace all the time. He arranged everything perfectly for me, unlike you, who always wanted me to figure out every little thing on my own. Speaking seriously, Locke, being with you is really exhausting. I've always done so much work while you look to have so much time on your hands. You always solve whatever problem you are having like that is not a big deal. I envy you so much for that. ”
"Hehe, it's because you're ridiculous," Lorist joked with a soft laugh. “I really want to know why his wife supported his proposal to you. ”
“Oh, are you talking about sister Fina? Having had a miscarriage due to horse riding in the past, she could no longer conceive a child. And he did not like to attend parties to entertain the other nobles. That's why she wished I could attend the party instead and one day give birth to a descendant of the Lorf family, ” said the girl with a flushed face.
Ah, so. The first wife plans to use you as a tool to make guests entertain and entertain the child. After giving birth to your first child, I'm sure she'll offer to help you raise the child because you're so busy entertaining the other nobles at parties and you'll even thank her until one day when the kids are You don't even want to acknowledge you as their mother, Lorist thought cynically.
"Why did you stop business in Morante City and sell your boutiques and mansion?" Ask Lorist.
"The destruction wrought on power was too great and according to Knight Somm, there was not a single building there that was not damaged in some way. To rebuild the economy of the dominion would require many mountains of gold, about 10,000 gold coins. In addition, I need to prepare some sort of dowry for the wedding so that I am currently a bit short on money. That's why the man encouraged me to sell all that and start my boutique again in the capital. He said that the capital is his territory and he will take care of everything for me, ” he said with a satisfied expression.
Lorist could barely hold back the applause to admire the marquis' plan. Not only would she return to the kingdom with the beauty in her arms, she also obtained the golden-studded hen she had for herself. Once the business was established in the capital, the young woman would effectively be relegated from being a business owner to a high-paying worker position, after which all the boutique profits would go straight into the pockets of the marquis. Lorist only hoped that the marquis would not eat everything and at least leave something for the young mistress.
“So, why did you come today? Surely not to meet me for the last time? I'll move my things tomorrow because you're already going to sell the place. There is nothing else here but our shared memories. "Lorist realized that he was too spiteful to the girl. Even if she told him what she was thinking, she probably wouldn't listen and think that she was just jealous and trying to cause a dispute between him and the marquis. Forget it, people have their own destiny. My encounter with him was just like two shooting stars passing by each other, leaving no trace of different memories.
“So what if I want to see you one last time? I have loved you for over four years. Although you have disappointed me, I will never forget you. You are always like this, unwavering and merciless after you make a decision. Don't you still feel something for me? Aren't you going to say anything to stop me from leaving? Ever since that breakup, it seems like you suddenly lost interest in me. I know you hate me and can't forgive me because this is all I do myself. But I still want to see you just in case we will never meet again .. "the girl said as she raised her voice, angry at what Lorist had just said.
If there was something he was good at, it was an endlessly open expression of his feelings.
"Huh ..." Standing up, Lorist continued, "Isn't it better to just remember our good times? There is actually no point in meeting just to end up arguing … "
"There was. I want to see you, hug you and kiss you before I leave. I know I've persecuted you and I appreciate all you've done for my family without asking for much in return. I know giving you money would only be an insult to you, so I've got you some War Force manuals instead. I hope they can help you break through, ” said the girl as she opened the desk drawer and took out five high-level War Forces manuals. He then turned around and hugged Lorist, burying his head in his chest.
"Can you hug and kiss me one last time?" Ask the girl with her eyes closed.
Lorist only smiled bitterly. The girl had no idea that the manual would not help her at all. Money would be much more useful to him in this regard.
"Don't forget that you are the wife of the marquis now," Lorist reminded him.
"The marriage is not yet official, so I am still free" she replied.
Seriously? What's wrong with him…
"No way, I don't want to get used to kissing someone else's lover," Lorist said firmly.
"Locke, come on .. Let me spend the night with you, okay? For the sake of the past .." said the girl while tugging tightly at Lorist's waist, refusing to let go of him …
"Do you think the Marquis standing right outside the building can wait all night? I don't mind leaving one last memory with you tonight, but she seems a bit impatient, ” Lorist said as he looked at the horse carriage parked at the entrance of the building and Lord Marquis circled the horse carriage as he looked towards the third-floor window from time to time instead of coming to the room wait to wait for Wenna.
"Gift!" The girl immediately laughed and quickly stole a kiss from Lorist's lips. Loosening his hands around him, he said, “Alright, we've met, hugged and even kissed. I'm already satisfied. Farewell, Locke. ”
His swift footsteps rang out as he descended the stairs, and shortly after, the sound of the horse carriage leaving slowly disappeared.
Sitting in a chair, Lorist waited for a while before saying, "Els, how much longer are you planning to hide there?"
