Chapter 442 The Drizzle Funeral Under the Gallows
After hearing what Armand said, Ran Ran almost panicked, and she wanted to quickly divert the question of painting.
She can't draw at all, but she is good at drawing symbols.
But the two are not the same system at all, and ghost-drawing talismans and ghost-drawing talismans are no joke!
Once Armand asked her to paint, she was directly exposed.
Armand looked at her seriously for a while and then said considerately: "Fortunately, Elizabeth, you have recovered and will spend a lot of time in the castle in the future, so I am not in a hurry."
"I will have it sooner or later. The painting you created for me.”
Ran Ran was almost breaking out in a cold sweat. She never expected that she would use the idiom “empathetic” to describe Armand.
She smiled softly, "Count, you have digressed. We are now discussing the matter between you and Mademoiselle Leonore."
Armand smiled after hearing this, "No, it mainly depends on what you think of Elizabeth."
Ran Ran only felt a lot of pressure, but fortunately Armand continued his story.
“It wouldn’t be too bad if there was just no friendship between Leonor and I. After all, many couples treat each other with respect. A marriage without love is not a good marriage, as long as she and I are willing to communicate with each other. Help me go on."
"Unfortunately, something happened between us..." Armand smiled at Ran Ran, "The [story] you said, Elizabeth"
"From some kind of reason. To a certain extent, Leonor is luckier than me."
"She met her lover."
Armand didn't give Ran Ran much time to be surprised, "This is a very rare thing. Most people will never meet their lover in their lifetime."
"The lover I'm talking about is a true lover. From the appearance, From the concept to the soul, it fits in all directions.”
“Leonore met.”
Armand showed a complicated expression that Ranran couldn’t understand, “So many times I really don’t understand. I envy her very much.”
“Leonore, like me, understands the value of this matter, so because of the appearance of this lover, she ran to her regardless.”
"Marriage traditions, family admonitions, and pressure from relatives are all behind her. She doesn't want anything anymore, just to be with her lover."
Ran Ran can't imagine that she has always maintained a calm expression. Leonor would act like that for someone, almost crazy.
Armand smiled, "Dear Elizabeth, you must not misunderstand this."
He seemed to have seen through her heart, "Leonore ran to him regardless of everything. It was never the lover, but herself who met the perfect love."
"It was like a flower eater kissed her cheeks and let luck accompany her. How many people in the world can be like her. Live like that once?”
Armand's words once again exceeded Ran Ran's cognition, and he said calmly: "I can completely understand her madness."
"But it's just such a thing..."
Armand suddenly changed from The client who can empathize with the situation switches to a rational spectator perspective.
“It was characterized as a huge scandal that shocked the whole country.”
“Leonor’s lover, the girl who always liked to scold the nobles with newspapers, was hanged in the square.”< br>
"As for Leonor, as a woman of the family, a very beautiful and well-educated woman, her value still exists, so the family came forward to save her life at the cost of..."
"See with your own eyes Watching his lover being hanged."
Armand's tone was filled with memories, "I remember that day, it was very depressing and cloudy, and it was raining all the time."
"Just to watch. The crowd filled the square and Leonor was held up by his family, closest to the gallows and forced to watch. "The girl was not afraid at all. She just stared into Leonor's eyes. I remember her eyes." Shockingly bright.”
"She said 'Make a change Leonor, and to hell with all that is rotten!'"
"She said 'If a war-torn kingdom is destined to fall to this level, then I hope we never Victory! '"
"The executioner pulled the gallows, and the girl lost her breath in an instant, but her eyes were still wide open. She died angry and unwilling, probably because she did not see her ideal. The [New World] is coming."
Ran Ran was shocked and speechless, Armand continued: "I am standing next to Leonor, as her fiancé."
“The drizzle wet her face, and I couldn’t tell whether she was crying, but she didn’t make any sound the whole time.”
"At the king's signal, I raised the black umbrella over Leonor's head, like a qualified husband."
"I saw it at that moment, she was crying."
"The tears were far more violent than the rain."
"She broke free from the restraints, waved my hand away mercilessly, stared at me with red eyes, and cursed everyone present."
“She said that each of us is an executioner.”
"She herself is the same."
"The king was furious, but he had promised Lernoir's family to forgive her sins. He could only make a fuss about the death ceremony."
"So he kept his promise and ordered the executioner to cut off the girl's head."
"The blood was sprinkled in the rain. The onlookers were shocked and backed away. The head fell from the high platform. It rolled up and down and landed at Leonor's feet."
Armand continued in a complicated tone that Ran Ran couldn't understand: "She was holding her head and crying in the rain. I think..."
"Looking at her lover's eyes that will never light up again, Leonor should have died with her lover at that moment."
After hearing this, Ran Ran was stunned for a long time, and finally she said honestly: "I really can't connect the Miss Leonor you told me with the current Miss Leonor."
She is suspected of causing trouble to others by saying this. Such a statement will inevitably make the Earl think that Leonor Noel's contrast was unnatural.
No, it’s not a suspicion, that’s what she planned.
In their five-person team, there are only two women, she and Minister Hei Cha. Since she recovered her vision, her observations centered on the identified Dr. Bai. She already knows the few people who interacted with Dr. Bai the most. Who are the famous characters?
Eve, the head maid, is the most obvious.
As for Dr. Bai, Ran Ran had already been alert when he came to test her specially, and this vigilance did not disappear after she knew clearly that Arnold was Dr. Bai.
Perhaps no one noticed at the time, but she noticed that after Dr. Bai tested her, he went to find Eve, the head maid.
So Ran Ran had already guessed Eve's identity at that time, that she was the Minister of Black Tea.
The subsequent interaction between Eve and Dr. Bai confirmed her suspicion.
Another identity is also about to be revealed, that of Haier. As a servant who is not outstanding, he frequently shows his intention to get close to the head maid Eve.
The most obvious thing is that when controlling the coachman, he kicked away the coachman's dagger and looked in the direction of her, not Armand.
The male servants in the castle know who their allegiance is to and would never do such a thing.
And being able to care about her more than Count Armand only shows that Haier is an explorer at heart who has speculation about her identity.
For example, Minister Gao.
