Rejecting the maid's help, Yu Tangzhi dragged his sore and weak hands and feet to take a bath. The warm steam filled his face with a healthy blush, and his pale face became alive.
After washing, she sat by the fire. The maid stood aside with a blank look on her face, like a puppet that had lost its soul. She covered the girl's seaweed-like black hair with a white coarse cloth to absorb the moisture, and opened another bottle. Apply hair care oil to the ends of your hair.
There is a strange fragrance that hits your nostrils. It is the floral fragrance of the rose family, just like the rotten roses that can be seen everywhere in the castle, and the thick layer of petals that once lay under the mattress. The bright red flower juice is squeezed out and oozes out, soaking into the skin and soaking into the soul, like a mark that cannot be removed.
Yu Tangzhi frowned in thought, "I don't like the smell, so there's no need to wipe it."
"Yes." The maid put away the half-applied essential oil, helped her put on her dress, put her hair up, and left.
It was still some time before the wedding started.
The girl in a white wedding dress sat quietly on a low cushioned stool.
She is waiting for someone to arrive.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the closet door to be pushed open from the inside.
As soon as Venus opened the cabinet door, she saw the girl sitting opposite her. She couldn't help showing some surprise, then smiled and said:
"Beautiful bride, are you waiting for me?"
Under the candlelight, the frail girl was wrapped in layers of white gauze. Her long hair was pulled up to reveal her slender neck. The round pearls in her ears were not half as bright as hers.
"You can stay later and eat directly."
She was too lazy to talk to him, she just raised her eyelids and glanced at him lightly, then looked away and fixed her gaze in the mirror again.
Her indifferent gesture aroused his interest. Venus approached her, leaned down and cast his gaze into the mirror.
The two have outstanding looks. Although they have different bloodlines, they are equally exquisite.
"I assume you've got the dagger."
Venus changed from her usual white shirt and put on a burgundy suit. The waistcoat outlined her slender waist, and the gemstone cuffs sparkled. Even his pale face couldn't stop his radiant face, as if he were reborn.
Yu Tangzhi saw his changes before and after, and his guess was confirmed a little more, and he said with a smile:
"certainly."
The heads of the two people in the mirror were very close to each other, as if they were intimate lovers.
"As long as you plunge the dagger into his chest when the rings are exchanged at zero o'clock, this will all be over."
Venus smelled the scent of rose essential oil on her hair, took a deep breath and closed her eyes as if she was enjoying it.
"We're about to get a new lease on life."
With his eyes closed, he naturally didn't see the unusually cold and calm eyes of the girl in the mirror and the scarlet smile on her lips.
"OK."
It's late at night, the snow is falling harder tonight, a blizzard is coming, and the howling wind makes the window lattice make a heavy sound.
The auditorium of the Salzburg Castle was brightly lit, with rows of empty chairs neatly arranged, and decorated with flowers and white ribbons everywhere. Of course, these flowers were all roses as expected.
It was supposed to be a beautiful and romantic wedding, but it seemed weird because it was close to midnight and there were no guests.
Rows of empty chairs were neatly arranged. There was no atmosphere of blessing, only the cold and biting wind quietly surging.
The clock was about to strike midnight, and the closed door of the auditorium opened.
Yu Tangzhi walked slowly down the red carpet in a floor-length wedding dress according to the wedding process laid out by Adams.
On the other side of the red carpet were the groom, Adams, and Vincent, who guest-starred as a priest.
Adams was wearing a white suit, his face was as pale as ever, and his dark eyes stared at Yu Tangzhi without blinking, as if she was not his bride but some kind of enemy.
Vincent was wearing a priest's robe, pretending to be holding a Bible in his hand, and was smiling gently at her.
His blond hair and azure eyes shone even late at night, making him look sunny and cheerful, but without any crosses.
Yu Tangzhi sneered in his heart, of course he would not bring this arrogant devil with him. All elegant gentlemen are just beautiful glazed wrappers wrapped with evil intentions, and their gorgeous skins cover up their ugly sins.
The girl walked closer step by step, and the layers of tulle skirt spread out like water ripples on the scarlet carpet.
Outside the window, the crow fluttered its black wings and landed on the tree trunk, staring at this scene quietly.
Yu Tangzhi came closer and stood opposite Adams, while Vincent read passages from the Bible beside them.
"TO have and tO hOld frOm thiS day fOrWard, fOr better, fOr WOrSe, fOr riCher, fOr pOOrer, in SiCkneSS and in health, tO lOve and tO CheriSh, till death dO US part..."
A low and gorgeous voice flowed in the background. It was obviously a sacred and solemn prayer, but at this moment it seemed so careless and even tinged with a hint of imperceptible ridicule.
Yu Tangzhi no longer had time to care about this, because she noticed that something was wrong with Adams opposite him. His dark eyes gradually became moist, and the eyes he looked at her revealed a kind of pity and sympathy that was as pitiful as a rabbit's death and a fox's sorrow...
This look quickly made Yu Tangzhi feel uneasy.
However, there was no time left for her, because Vincent's pastor's speech had already been finished, and two silver plain rings were placed in front of her eyes. It was time to exchange rings.
The girl's eyes lingered on the clock hanging on the wall for a moment before her attention was attracted by the sudden appearance of someone in the corner.
In the shadows, Venus was wearing a dark red dress. He no longer hid in the secret passage hidden from the light but appeared here to watch the ceremony grandly. After meeting her gaze, his pale lips pulled out an exaggerated arc, opening and closing. What are you talking about.
Although they were far apart, Yu Tangzhi realized what he said almost instantly.
"kill him."
Boom——
The heavy and distant bell rang, and midnight came.
Yu Tangzhi hurriedly looked away. Adams was picking up the lady's ring from the velvet box, and stiffly raised his hand to put it on her.
White light flashed past, and bloody flowers bloomed in front of the white suit.
Tick--
Dripping blood dripped down the dagger onto the scarlet carpet. Only then did the young groom react slowly and slowly lowered his head to look, only to see a mess on his chest.
He looked up again to see the girl opposite, his bride.
A few drops of blood were splashed on the girl's pretty little face, her face was like a peach blossom, and her heart was like a snake or scorpion.
A trace of surprise flashed across Adams' pale face, and then he felt a push coming from his chest. He fell heavily to the side along with the force, like a toy that had finally been abandoned, already riddled with holes.
"GOOd iOb!"
Venus appeared behind Yu Tangzhi at some point. He held the girl's slender waist and looked down at Adams lying on the carpet, as if he were looking at an insignificant rag.
The girl's body was shaking uncontrollably. She was still holding the bloody dagger tightly in her hand, and the blood remaining on it stained the white wedding dress.
This was probably her first murder, but she killed her own groom at a wedding.
Venus showed a satisfied smile in her eyes. The bloody wedding dress was indeed more pleasing to the eye than the stupid white one.
It was rare for a fragile girl to arouse a trace of pity in his heart. This emotion even surprised him. But without much thought he attributed it to the victor's generosity.
So when the girl turned around and threw herself into his arms, he did not refuse immediately. Instead, after a brief daze, he smiled and happily accepted this beautiful, fragile and ignorant little lamb.
"Oh, my poor bride..."
However, before he could finish his sigh, that superior and arrogant smile froze on his face. Feeling severe pain in his chest, he lowered his head and saw a silver dagger clearly stuck in his heart.
Surprise, anger, and disbelief all rushed into his heart. He covered his heart and raised a pair of red eyes to stare at her.
"you?!"
But he saw that the girl was as cold as ice, looking at him calmly, the corners of her mouth raised in a sneer, and she no longer showed the slightest hint of vulnerability.
“Is role playing fun?”
Every time he said a word, Yu Tangzhi stabbed the dagger in his hand deeper into his heart.
Every word is a joke about bloodthirsty.
"The real Duke Adams."
