gentleman's servant

The loving face of the Virgin is blurred under the dim light, and the maid and the lamb are engulfed in darkness, even appearing ferocious under the messy lines.

Catherine knelt on the ground solemnly, clasped her hands together, and held a cross necklace in her hand.

The beautiful girl had a sad face, and there were still wet tears on her cheeks, which flickered gently under the firelight.

She is asking the Holy Mother for forgiveness.

"Please forgive me. I am guilty. I fell in love with someone I shouldn't love. He is just a manservant at home. He doesn't know that I love him. My father wants to marry me to a rich businessman to pay off the debt. I want to bring him My love married someone else, I know it's a sin, but I can't forget him, what should I do?"

The girl was heartbroken. Anyone who looked at it would think that this girl was suffering from love. The man she loved didn't know that she loved him, but she was about to marry someone else.She was full of pain and disappointment, but she had no one to talk to, so she could only kneel in a corner in the lonely night, confessing her love and sin to heaven, longing for redemption.

If the manservant who is crushed on hears the young lady's confession, how can he not be moved?How can you not be heartbroken?How can you not fall in love with her?Such a noble and beautiful noble lady fell in love with such a humble servant like him.Even if he died for her, he would be willing!

The sound of my footsteps startled the young lady who was confessing. She looked at me in panic, as if she hadn't expected that I would appear suddenly, panic, shyness, regret and other emotions flashed in her eyes, but in the end she just lowered her eyes and remained motionless. Kneel in place.

"Miss Catherine, is what you said true?" I looked at her in amazement, as if I couldn't believe it was true, and then an ecstatic expression appeared on my face.

"No...I...I didn't..." She was like a little girl whose secret had been discovered, unwilling to admit her thoughts.

"But you just said..."

"Forget what I just said!" She covered her face regretfully: "You didn't hear anything just now, and I didn't say anything, just pretend that we haven't met tonight."

"How can that be? After hearing that you love me, how can I forget you!"

"Just forget about me, we can't be together, I shouldn't be here praying, I shouldn't be in love with you, I shouldn't let you know, I have to marry the person my father wants me to marry." She wept softly He said: "My father can't help it either, he wanted me to marry the man I love... I'm sorry Owen, forget about me!"

I helped her up, held her hands and stared into her eyes. She is indeed a beautiful woman, especially when she looks at you with tears, as if her whole heart is exhausted for you, she is treating you Say she loves you, she only has you in her heart.

"Miss Catherine, it's my fault that I didn't realize what you wanted." I said.

"No Owen, this is my own business, I fell in love with you." She trembled and threw herself into my arms.

"I'm just a humble servant, and you are a noble lady, how can I deserve your love."

"You must not say that. I know you are a kind and down-to-earth man. I have known and fallen in love with you for a long time. I even confessed to my father that I love you."

"What! You told Lord Viscount?"

"Yes, my father was very sad. He said he was sorry and couldn't let me marry the man I like. I understand his suffering. Unless he marry me to a wealthy businessman to pay off the debt, my father and mother will be on the streets."

"I can't believe that Lord Viscount actually said that." I was like a fool who felt honored and favored, bewildered and extremely excited.

"Father said that you are a good person and have helped us a lot. If I marry you, I will be very happy." Catherine looked at me shyly, but then lowered her head in disappointment: "It's just..."

"That's why you asked me to do that, but I..."

"Don't mention what happened yesterday, let's forget it. I can't let you do such a dangerous thing for me. It's all because of my confusion. Please don't take it to heart."

"No, I want to help you. It originally belonged to Lord Viscount, so it's only natural for me to help you get it back."

"Really? Are you willing to take risks for me?"

"I would, I would do anything for you."

"We don't want you to steal anything? We just want to get back what originally belonged to my father. With this kind of thing, I don't have to marry a rich businessman. My father said that I can marry whoever I want."

I looked her in the eyes and said, "What the hell is that?"

Catherine's expression became serious, and she said, "It's a gold box studded with precious stones, with a statue of the Sistine Madonna on it. You can tell at a glance that the baron must have kept it in a very secret place."

"I understand, don't worry." Then I stared at her and said, "Miss Catherine, in fact, I have fallen in love with you a long time ago."

"Owen." She looked at me affectionately, then slowly lowered her eyes, as if she was shy, then raised her head, as if she had suddenly summoned up her courage, she stood on tiptoe and kissed me.

"Miss Catherine!" I looked at her excitedly.

"Don't say anything." She covered my mouth with her little hand: "I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you to save me, it's all up to you."

After speaking, she picked up her skirt and ran to the depths of the castle...

When she disappeared from view, I touched my lips with a sneer.

Everything that happened just now is so familiar, the same scene happened in the previous life, and I fell deeply into such an obvious deception, and I fell deeper and deeper until I buried myself and the baron who trusted me.

What viscount would marry his daughter to a lowly servant?The only person who would believe such words is me, a whimsical idiot.

I don't know what the gold box is for. The day after I handed it over to them, the baron was captured by a large group of soldiers and sentenced to death. Everything he owned belonged to the Viscount's family, and I He was also charged with theft and brought to court.

This time I'm going to let them suffer for themselves, thinking so, I walked down the hallway.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked to the corner, a tall and thin figure appeared in front of me.

It's the Baron!

Hasn't he rested already?I left after serving him to lie down, how could he appear here?Did he hear our conversation?

Cold sweat came out of my forehead, I was almost too scared to look at him, only heard his cold voice, he said: "Come to my study."

I followed behind him tremblingly, fear following him like a shadow.All kinds of thoughts appeared in my mind for a while, when did he come here, how much did he hear, did he hear Catherine ask me for the gold box?

Into the study, the Baron said nothing.

He stood in front of the window with his back to me, and the atmosphere became more and more depressing.

My heart was beating fast, just as I was frantically organizing my lies, the baron turned around, his cold eyes didn't have any warmth, and what he said was more like a nail, deeply piercing my heart.

"I just realized how stupid I am today..." He took a deep breath, the veins on his forehead stood out clearly under the candlelight, and he was trying to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Master Oscar, please listen to my explanation..." I said in a panic.

"You don't have to say anything! I can see it all!" he exclaimed. "I saw you and my cousin kissing! What else is there to say!"

"Ha, it's ridiculous. I was lying on the bed, but I couldn't fall asleep thinking about you, so I went downstairs to find you and wanted to apologize to you, because I was too indifferent to you these two days, I thought maybe I misunderstood you " He shook his head in pain: "But I was wrong, you are simply a dirty, despicable, shameless villain! You have not changed since the beginning, you have been lying to me!"

Finally he gritted his teeth and said, "You fooled me! How dare you! How dare you!"

"Listen to my explanation." I took two steps forward: "Catherine wants me to steal your gold box, they have bad intentions for you..."

"Stop! Don't come near me." He clenched his fists, and the late night candlelight shone on his pale face, looking furious.

"My lord, you have a gold box, right? It's in your locked cabinet. Is that box very important?" I asked eagerly.

"How do you know I have something like that?" The baron frowned.

"The Viscount and the others want to harm you with that thing," I said.

"Ha, are you changing the subject? It's just an empty box." The baron said angrily.

Why doesn't the baron know?I was amazed, what is the secret of that box?Why can the viscount use this thing to frame the baron, but the baron has no idea.

"I don't want to hear what you said about the box. I want to hear your explanation. Didn't you just want to explain? You explain!" The baron obviously couldn't calm down anymore.

"I, I..." I couldn't say anything, I could only stare at him blankly.

He hurried over and grabbed me by the collar, pushed me against the wall, and yelled at me: "Say it! Why did you have a secret meeting with my cousin? You said before that you hated my uncle's family, so you are doing it to ruin my uncle's family again." Did they deliberately seduce Catherine because of their reputation? Or did you tell lies that you fell in love with Catherine a long time ago, but your uncle didn't allow it, so you deliberately framed him for bankruptcy?"

I looked at him and couldn't say a word, I couldn't explain it at all.

The baron grabbed his hair and tore it hard twice, then he closed his eyes in pain, shook his head desperately as if he couldn't believe it, as if he had exhausted all his strength, he whispered: "Okay, I don't care what your reason is , you just need to answer one question for me."

He looked at me, almost pleading: "Do you love me? Tell me, do you love me?"

Love... My heart was pulled up in an instant, a sour and swollen feeling filled my chest, I looked at him, my lips trembled, I should tell him that I love him, even if I lied to him, say, I Say to yourself, say it, say you love him, say it...

The baron's eyes gradually became like ice. He pushed me to the ground at once, and then threw all the porcelain, vases, books, and letter papers in the room to the ground like crazy. Filled the whole castle in the silent night.

He was furious, walking back and forth in the room: "I can't believe it, you slept with me just for this reason, to make me shut up, to let me not send you away, not to hand you over To the sheriff, that's why you climbed into my bed! You fucking scumbag! Why did you do that!"

He was like a furious beast, his eyes were red and red. Suddenly, he stopped and stared at me with angry eyes.

He said, "Come here."

I didn't know what he was going to do, so I had to get up from the ground and walk in front of him.

"Turn your back." He ordered coldly.

Then I heard the 'rustle' of the clothes.

Then a lace bow tie appeared in front of me, the baron took off his own bow tie, and covered my eyes.
