Chapter 248 James is a good man
After dinner, Elizabeth went to bed under the care of the maid.
It's only 7 o'clock now, but from noon, the sky is so gloomy, and at night, the temperature is even colder than the cold winter.
This is a very unusual climate throughout the Caribbean.
The maid specially put the red charcoal into the copper soup pot and used the heat of the soup pot to heat Elizabeth's bed.
"Miss, today is a terrible day." The maid was busy chatting with Elizabeth.
Elizabeth nodded and said with lingering fear: "Yes, I really didn't expect that James would propose to me."
The maid was stunned, "I mean the incident of your hijacking by a pirate."
"Ah? Oh!" Elizabeth said quickly, "Yes, yes, that thing is also terrible."
But it is far less terrifying than James' proposal!
what to do?
Agree or not?
Elizabeth knew very well that he did not love James.
James is a good person, with status, wealth, power and good looks.
However, Elizabeth just didn't call James.
No one can force a call if it doesn't happen.
Marrying a man who cannot let him call is undoubtedly a torture, and this torture will last for a lifetime.
This is of course the most terrifying thing!
As for the pirate hijacking? Please, that's what she herself suggested to Xu Feng to hijacking. If it weren't for this, how could Xu Feng and Captain Jack escape?
Xu Feng is not scary. Xu Feng is her savior, and she only hopes that Xu Feng will be fine.
The maid bent over to help Elizabeth clean up the bedding, and asked in a gossip: "Miss, how are you going to respond to the brigade general?"
"Uh" Elizabeth had a headache when she thought of this problem.
She had no feelings for James, but her father, Governor Swan, had a very good feeling for James.
How great it would be if my dad could marry James.
well.
Elizabeth sighed, "James is a good person."
"Yes, the Brigadier General is really good, every woman in Port Royal wants to marry him."
Seeing Elizabeth not speaking, the maid smiled and said, "Of course, that little blacksmith Will Turner is not bad either. I noticed that the look he looked at you today was like being possessed."
Elizabeth's face turned red, "Mary! Don't talk nonsense!"
The maid bowed quickly and said, "Sorry, Miss, I'm too much. You are a golden branch and jade leaf, so of course you don't look down on the little blacksmith."
Elizabeth opened her mouth, but realized that she could not refute.
If she said that I certainly liked it, it would be equivalent to admitting that she had Will's place in her heart.
At this sensitive juncture, any words she says will be misinterpreted.
In fact, she really has a feeling about Will.
She hadn't seen Will for a long time. Today, seeing Will's tall figure and dignified appearance, I couldn't help but bump into the deer and even had difficulty breathing.
Of course, it may also be that the new dress was too tight.
But no matter what, if she was asked to choose with her family interests and status aside, she would rather choose Will than choose the old-fashioned and macho James.
Another option is Arthur
Elizabeth quickly cleared her messy thoughts and said to the maid coldly: "Okay, go down, I'm very tired and going to bed."
The maid bowed and saluted, "Yes, Miss, I wish you a good dream."
After the lights were turned off, the maid stepped out.
Elizabeth held the Aztec coins in front of her heart, thinking that it was all Xu Feng's last warning to her, and fell asleep in a daze.
In the dream, she dreamed of Will again
Meanwhile, on the sea cliff fortress.
Governor Swan and James, who had just used dinner, were spreading on the sea cliff.
“How is the proposal going?”
This is what Governor Swan is most concerned about.
James paused and replied, "Let Ai say she can't breathe."
"Ahh!" Governor Swan said happily: "She is very excited and excited based on my experience of those who have been through it! What's next? Have you kissed me and confirmed your relationship?"
James smiled bitterly, "Then she fell off the cliff."
""
"So I thought about it for a while. I think when she said it, it was not about her excitement, but about her real inability to breathe. The lady dress you bought for her should be the culprit."
"" Governor Swan said with a embarrassed look on his face: "I really didn't expect this. Alas, my daughter, I've been used to being a beast since she was young. When others were learning aristocratic etiquette, she insisted on learning swordsmanship."
James said indifferently: "Girls just play around with it. After a while, she naturally gave up."
Governor Swan smiled bitterly and said, "That's because you don't know Elizabeth enough. She looks so much like her deceased mother. No matter what, Elizabeth was frightened just now and her emotions are a little unstable. You can wait for a while before proposing again."
James nodded, "I will, I love Elizabeth, I will find the right opportunity to propose to her."
"How is the Pirates going?"
"I've been arrested and put in prison. My adjutant is making a gallows overnight."
"Very good." Governor Swan sighed, "There hasn't been a pirate in Port Royal for more than ten years. I hope that this hanging of pirates can give other pirates a warning. Hum? What is that?"
Governor Swan squinted his eyes and looked at the sea level in the distance.
He saw something flying towards this side, like a black bird, but it was much faster than the black bird.
James looked up and exclaimed, "Danger! Lying down!"
He threw Governor Swan to the ground.
boom!
The cannon shells landed three meters next to them, smashing the strong city defense into a big pit.
Immediately afterwards, several cannon shells exploded in other city defenses in the fortress!
The entire Port Royal suddenly sired loudly!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The naval soldiers who were resting happily ran towards the city's defense artillery position in panic.
As soon as several soldiers ran to a port cannon, a cannon shell shot over and directly hit the pile of gunpowder.
boom!
A huge spark lit up on the Hai Cliff Castle, the cannons were blown up directly, and the soldiers were blown away to the point of no bones! The entire Hai Cliff Fortress was shaking violently!
"Here you come." Xu Feng woke up from his sleep.
Captain Jack also rose up and looked at the sea level in the distance through the iron window of the prison.
A large black ship with black sails was riding the wind and waves, driving cannons while approaching Port Royal at high speed.
"Black Pearl" Jack swallowed hard, and his hand holding the iron window couldn't help but clench it tightly.
Chapter completed!
