Chapter 27 The Forbidden Rose (4)
During lunch break, the thin figure stepped into the Dream Hall: "My favorite friends, I am here! Let me tell me the story of that teacup today."
"Meijo, I'm so happy to see you again. Please sit down." Luo Keer changed into a brown maid outfit today and brought a recliner. "I took this chair from home. If you half lie on it, you will feel much more relaxed."
"Meijo, today you can listen to the story with peace of mind. Please relax, you will find the answer you want from the story." Garosa handed her a cup of black tea, just like the other day ago.
"Well, let's talk." Garosha signaled to Luo Keer.
Luo Keer nodded, looked at the expectant eyes of Takemi Qiao, and a kind of hidden emotion like water was released in her eyes, and she started talking.
Latte is Miss Seki Cosey's maid. She is only two years younger. The two grew up together, but fell in love with the same man. From then on, their different destinies began.
When the warrior Taylor was not a duke, he participated in a war between his own country and his neighbors. That day, he rode his horse from the battlefield to the main city, eager to send a war report to the king.
Taylor, covered in wounds, collapsed outside the Duke of Cauchy's mansion.
"Young man, are you okay?" Mr. Cosi was coming back from outside and met Taylor who was dying on the roadside.
"No, don't save me, I'm going to send a war report to the king. I'm almost out of time. If you want to help me, please help me on the horse." Taylor's tone was subtle, and blood was flowing from his mouth.
"But your injury is too serious. If you don't treat it immediately, you will die."
Taylor was eventually taken back to Cauchy's Mansion. After treatment, he was too sleepy and fell asleep.
Master Cauchy brought the battle report, rode Cauchy's horse and ran towards the palace.
When the king saw the white-haired Master Cauchy, he was very puzzled: "Why is it not my soldiers who sent the battle report? This is not in accordance with the rules."
Mr. Cosi calmly: "My respectful Majesty, the loyal Taylor fainted on the way to deliver the battle report, and kept saying that he would send the battle report to you soon. He is now unconscious at my house, so I came for him."
The minister next to him turned his eyes and whispered in the king's ear: "Your Majesty, why not see what the content is first. If it is good news, reward them. If it is bad news, please give him and that damn Taylor to death."
"What I said is reasonable."
After the king opened the letter, his expression changed from calm to angry. The letter said that the troops on the front line defeated the enemy and wanted to ask the king to send someone to help.
After reading the letter, his anger had risen to the extreme. This was a long-planned war. How could it fail? It was so annoying. He said with a blushing face: "Master Cauchy, this letter is really embarrassing. I will definitely not let my people understand the situation inside - we were defeated. I ask you, have you ever read this secret letter?"
"Your Majesty, I didn't read this letter. You know how urgent the situation was. The child was frightened. I guessed the importance of this letter, so I sent it to you without stopping."
"Hmph, if we win, it's okay if you read this letter. But now we are defeated, and I don't know if you read it. So I want to kill you to prevent future troubles and also for my heart that has been frustrated."
"Your Majesty, how can you do this? I am a meritorious person who sent you a secret letter."
The king sneered: "My soldiers were defeated, you know that. It was because you violated the rules and made them punished by God. Come on, arrest Mr. Taylor and put him in prison. Then go to Casey's mansion and capture Taylor back. I will execute him tomorrow."
At this time, at Casey's house, Latte, the maid, was serving Taylor carefully, and Miss Seki walked over and looked at them.
"What a warrior-like person, it's admirable. But why isn't he awake yet?" After saying this, she went to the market.
When Miss Seki comes back, Leter will go to change the hot water.
"Miss, please watch him first. After I change the water, I will come back to continue taking care of him."
"Okay, Lait." Miss Seki went to Taylor's side, staring at him motionlessly.
Taylor woke up and found Miss Seki right beside him, looking at him intently. His throat was choked: "Have you been taking care of me? How long have I been sleeping?"
Miss Seki looked at Taylor's anxious look and forgot to answer his first question: "You've been sleeping all day, dear Warrior."
"Oh no, I didn't send a war report to the king." He struggled to get up.
You lie down quickly, my father has already sent it to you."
"That's great." Taylor drew a cross on his chest.
However, the next morning, the royal army came to Cauchy's Mansion. The minister got out of the carriage and was arrogant and wanted to capture Taylor and return to the palace.
"Don't take him away, he is a loyal person to the country." Miss Seki cried behind.
"Miss, it's useless for you to do this. We need wisdom to help Taylor clear his grievances." Leter comforted.
"What are you going to do?"
"I'll sneak into the palace and see me, Miss."
Leter, who was only fourteen years old, changed into men's clothing, attached himself to the carriage, and followed the group of people back to the palace.
Taylor and Master Cauchy were locked in prison, and Lat got in while the guards were unprepared.
"Warrior Taylor, how will I save you and my master?" She held the cold iron railing with both hands, her eyes full of worry and anxiety.
"Listen, little maid, I know the evidence of the king's past, that the king had asked my master to burn them. But my master hid them in the tree holes in the garden, and with that evidence, we can threaten the king."
"Okay, you guys are waiting for my good news."
However, Lat looked in the garden for a long time but couldn't find the tree hole. She started crying sadly.
A fairy suddenly appeared, and she looked at the anxious and helpless Letter: "Little girl, why are you crying?"
"I want to save my master and my beloved. They were caught by the bad king. I need to get the handle of the king. It is hidden in the tree hole in the garden, but I can't find it."
"I know that tree hole was hidden by a wizard. I'll help you." The fairy smiled and waved her magic wand gently, and the tree hole appeared a hundred meters away.
"That's great, Taylor and my master are saved." Letter clapped his hands, shouted and jumped, with a happy smile on his face.
She leaned her head into it and found several booklets in the tree hole, which were evidence of all evil deeds such as the force of the king before ascending the throne.
"Great, thank you, fairy."
"Wait, Ret." The fairy took out a small silver-white cup, "This tea cup is for you. You pour the morning dew on it every day, and in three years it will help you realize any wish. As long as you recite the spell."
Lat hid the cup with gratitude.
The poor Master Cosey took his life by the executioner before he died. He said the last sentence before he died: "Please pity my daughter Picci!"
Taylor struggled wildly, and the iron chains cut scars on his skin.
At the critical moment, Letter ran over and waved his hand to throw the unjust case to Taylor: "Catch it, it's the king's crime."
Everyone's eyes were concentrated on her.
Taylor used his locked hands to pick up the unjust case and roared at everyone present: "Everyone, this is your beloved king. For his own benefit, he killed countless people, soldiers and loyal ministers, including your relatives and friends!"
The executioner stopped his action, and the king collapsed on the chair in anger: "Hurry up, take this bastard!"
But none of the people present wanted to hurt Taylor, they all wanted to know the truth.
Taylor shouted loudly: Our respected Majesty, he killed his brother, the former king of this country with his own hands. Moreover, he killed all the confidants of the former king and locked up the only son of the former king in the dungeon.
The crowd began to talk.
Seeing the situation, Letter waved his fists: "Down with him! Down with him!"
Most half of the people present were motivated and began to rebel. They rescued Taylor and Master Cauchy.
Taylor summoned a group of people, killed the king when he lost the people's hearts, and attacked the palace in one fell swoop.
They rescued the son of the former king from the dungeon and supported him as the new king.
"Your Highness, forgive us for being late. Please be our new Majesty." Taylor knelt before the little prince.
"But, I don't know anything."
"It's okay, I can teach you, as long as you appoint me as the Grand Duke."
"No problem, of course no problem. As long as I can sit on the throne, I can even give you the real power of this country." The little prince grabbed Taylor's hand, "Warrior, no, my great duke, do you know how my damn uncle tortures me on weekdays? Five years ago, the scene where he stabbed my father to death was vivid in my mind. I had nightmares every night, and he also sent people to monitor me, preventing me from seeing the sun and not letting me eat a full meal."
"Your Majesty, from now on, you have my help, and you no longer need to be afraid."
The young and promising Taylor was only in his twenties and became a duke and even held the real power of the empire. For a time, countless people wanted to marry his daughter to him.
But Taylor can't forget Mr. Cosey who died because of him. He vowed to take care of Miss Seki for the rest of his life.
On the other hand, Taylor regards the maid Lait as his benefactor out of gratitude.
"Let, tell me what you want."
"Mr. Duke, I want nothing, I just want your love."
"I am very grateful to you, but our identities are very different, and I am afraid we cannot fall in love. However, we can be eternal friends."
Miss Seki knew her thoughts and was still very good to her, but she had more estrangement than before. The servant is a servant, which is a reality that cannot be changed no matter how hard she works.
Three years later, Taylor married 19-year-old Seki and Latte got married into the Duke's Mansion.
At this time, the cup had been dripping with morning dew for three years and could make a wish. Letter didn't know what wish. On the day of the Duke and the Miss's wedding, Seki simply gave it to the Duke.
The cup is silver-white, as white as the crescent moon in winter. The cup is a relief of vine flowers, wrapped around branches and never left behind for generations. The duke likes it very much. Whether it is talking about business or entertaining guests, he only uses this cup.
