Chapter 106 Chapter 106

Needless to say, how the beauty of Romemos detonated the entire Forosta, none of them seemed to notice that this performance was different from the previous ones, as if the dazzling light on the stage blinded their eyes, Let them be blind and fanatical, and all the oddities and irrationality will be worthless.

Under the eager appeal and request of the audience, the performance was extended one after another. It was not until Armenelos couldn't help sending someone to question that Prince Forosta and his son reluctantly released the audience from the opera house, and repeatedly Invite Romemos to be a guest at Prince Forosta's mansion at any time—"This is difficult, my lord prince, we Luomi are the first-class celebrities even in Armenelos, I'm afraid your invitation will be in the queue A year later." Vesper said with a chuckle, hooking Romimos' shoulder affectionately.

This is half-truth and half-false. If Romemos is willing, all kinds of ball invitations will naturally be softened, but she never likes those useless excitement, and only reluctantly participated in it when she first came to Armenelos After one or two rounds, the invitations that followed were thrown away as waste paper without even looking at them.

But Romimos' "ignorance of flattery" ends here.After returning to Armenelos, just over a month later, Vespa asked Romimos to exchange her appearance. Originally, she didn't have much hope, but to Vespa's surprise, , Romemos only glanced at her sideways, and responded with an understatement tone: "Okay."

"You agreed?" Vespa was trying to think of an excuse to persuade Romemos, but he never expected that the other party nodded so easily, and was immediately overjoyed, and rushed to hug Romemos without letting go. "My God, you're so kind to me! I always thought you didn't approve of me doing this."

"I do think it's superfluous," Romemos said, "but that's just my opinion, and if you think it's better for you, I won't stop you. But I have to warn you again that since it's You make your own decision, so whether you get benefits or get into trouble because of it, you can only bear it alone."

"Naturally." Vespa agreed without hesitation, and then asked with anticipation, "Then, can I also use your identity to attend the dance after the show?"

"It's up to you if you're just chatting and dancing, but you'd better not do anything too outrageous." Romemos said, suddenly reached out and touched Vespa's forehead, a light golden curse mark flashed there, and then Disappeared quickly, "Otherwise all my power will disappear on you in an instant."

"I understand, I understand, we Luo fans are still innocent girls." Vespa teased her, "Just don't worry about it."

After realizing that Romemos would not stop her, Vespa became more daring, and soon the frequency of her and Romemos switching identities changed from once a month to once a week or even once a few days. The cold and unapproachable "Romimos" has become a new social butterfly in the upper class circle of Armenelos, and Vespa is as happy as eating and drinking as Romimos to participate in every game. A prom or salon she can attend.

Since Romimos had been a mysterious figure until then, and most people's knowledge of her was limited to those ancient myths handed down sporadically, no one doubted why her personality changed so much all of a sudden, even if someone discovered it. Romemos sometimes has completely different voices on stage and off stage, and Vespa is easily fooled by the reason of "unique singing voice" with a smile, because, frankly, no one really cares about her What a song, they love her like ladies love the diamonds that sparkle in their hands.

However, such a happy life of luxury and gold only lasted for more than a year, and it came to an end unexpectedly.

During that period of time, Romemos noticed that Vespa was always staring at her in a daze, and several times he seemed hesitant to speak. Not only that, but she also did not ask Roman for an entire month for the first time. Mimos mentioned the face-changing thing.

Romemos knew she must be in trouble, and although she had repeatedly warned Vespa that she would not help her clean up the mess, she decided to at least find out what Vespa was doing. What the hell happened.

"Recently, someone sent a few invitations to a banquet. If you plan to attend the appointment, just let me know." She mentioned it to Vespa casually.

"Oh..." Vespa replied blankly, her expression was a little sluggish, as if she was overwhelmed by some heavy heart, "I don't really want to go to those parties recently."

"Really?" Romemos pretended to be surprised, "What happened?"

Vespa's eyes flickered, and he hesitated: "I think... what you said before is quite right. The difference between the two of us is still too great. If this continues, sooner or later someone will find out that I am a fake."

"I'm afraid someone has already discovered it?" Romimos asked with certainty.Based on her understanding of Vesper, if it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't pretend anymore, this girl might be able to daydream for the rest of her life by chance, "Who is it?"

Sure enough, Vespa immediately turned into a mournful face: "It is the son of Elendil, the eldest grandson of Prince Amendil, Isildur."

The cause of the incident was that Vespa, as usual, pretended to be Romimus to attend a small party among the nobles of Romenna more than a month ago.At first, everything was going well, and it was similar to the scene of having fun in the past. When the banquet came to an end, most of the people were drunk, and Vespa was one of the few people in the audience who was still sane. Just when she was about to take the opportunity to leave the stage quietly, suddenly a powerful and terrifying hand grabbed her arm and pulled her behind a screen involuntarily.

Vespa's first reaction was that someone was so drunk that he dared to touch her. When he was about to scream, he recognized that person as Isildur first. Now she didn't have to worry about the other party trying to moles her. Now Vespa suspects that he is here to assassinate her. It is not a secret that the relationship between Prince Anduini's family and Romimos is in dire straits. Did you disclose the news to Sauron?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Vespa shook his head in horror, "I haven't done anything!"

"You still dare not admit it? The doorman has already explained everything, it is clearly you..." Isildur didn't finish his sentence, he looked at the face of "Romimos" who was pale from being frightened, and his expression It gradually became strange and confusing.

Although more than one person once said that Isildur was as intimidating as a lion when he was angry, Isildur never expected that he could scare Romemos, let alone his anger. There is no real threat, even if he has the ability to cause harm to her, Romemos, as a Maya who has lived for tens of thousands of years and is used to strong winds and waves, unless he is really driven to a corner, it is absolutely impossible for him to do so easily. Put panic on your face.

And why didn't Vespa know that his reaction was not very "Romimos"?But I understand in my heart that her true identity is just a young commoner woman after all, she has neither strength nor power, and even the so-called beauty is just an illusion, even if she wants to pretend to be calm at this time, she has more than enough power insufficient.Her heart was beating violently in her chest with nervousness, so loud that Vespa wondered if some drunk would be woken by the pounding.

Isildur continued to look at her, as if looking at a stranger. After a while, he asked again: "You are not Romimos. Who are you?"

This sentence made Vespa feel like being struck by lightning, and his face instantly turned pale: "I... I don't understand what you are saying, who else can I be if I am not Romimos?"

Naturally, Isildur could not be convinced by this baseless excuse, but Vespa bit his lower lip stubbornly, and despite trembling with fear, he still had the posture that he would not admit it even if he was killed.

Isildur narrowed his eyes slightly, and for a moment, Vespa almost thought that he was going to let her go, but then, he suddenly said something softly, the syllables were gentle and soft, but Vespa couldn't understand the meaning at all.

She stood there stupidly, with a dazed look on her face, and it took several seconds before she suddenly realized what it was.

"How dare you speak Elvish in public?!" Vesper was shocked, "Your Majesty has already ordered the whole country to ban speaking Elvish, even if you are the grandson of Prince Anduini, if His Majesty knows... ..."

"Then go and report on me." Isildur calmly waved Vespa's finger pointing at him, "If you really understand."

Vespa was caught in a dilemma for a while. If she admitted that she didn't understand, it would be tantamount to admitting that she was not the real Romimos, and it would be a prick to pretend that she understood. broken lie.

"Okay, since you're not her, I won't embarrass you." Esildur said, his tone softened a little, "I remembered why your voice is so familiar, you are the actress from the Arlando Opera House, right? Right? The one with the red hair, sorry, I forgot your name."

This sentence really made Vespa stunned. Under the dazzling light of Romimos, she didn't even hope that anyone would have the slightest impression of her role, let alone remember her. Even if Isildur hadn't remembered her name, it was enough to make Vespa's eyes light up instantly.

"Vespa! My name is Vespa." She said immediately, and she realized what she had said, and she was so anxious that she burst into tears, "Please, don't go to His Majesty the King to sue me Please, please!"

"I didn't plan to go." Isildur was a little surprised, not knowing why the woman thought so, "I just want to say, you don't have to be afraid of that witch Romimos, if she forces you to do something for her, you can tell Me, I'll help you."

"But Luo Mi didn't force me to do anything, my lord." Vesper said, "I voluntarily..."

Isildur looked at her suspiciously: "If she threatens you..."

"She didn't, my lord. I made this request from the beginning. Luo Mi just didn't refuse me. She is a generous and good person."

"You were deceived by her." Esilduo sighed heavily, "Vespa, remember my words. The devil's deal will never be fair, no matter how many benefits she promises you now, in the end you will The price to be paid must be much higher than this. Stop as soon as possible before it is too late."

After saying this, he patted Vespa on the shoulder encouragingly, and finally let her go.

Regarding this matter, Romemos' reaction after hearing this was: "Hmph."

A sneer.

The devil doesn't want to make a deal, but it's her fault that someone is crying and yelling to rush forward?

"What shall we do next?" Vespa asked Romimos with a sad face.

"What'we' means what are you going to do next." Romemos corrected her bluntly, "What do you want?"

Vespa fell silent again, sitting on the bed with her knees folded, her lips pouted, apparently still determined.

"Actually, I don't think the matter is as exaggerated as you said, is it?" Romemos said, "Although Isildur saw through your identity, didn't he also say that he would not tell others?"

"He won't this time," Vespa said, "but what if he bumps into me next time and sees through me? What if he realizes that his kindness was totally missed? Maybe he won't take his My kindness and pity were wasted on a hopeless woman like me."

"Do you really think so? Or are you telling the truth?" Romemos was a little confused about her thoughts, "I told you more than once what Isildur meant, but you never listened to it. Why do you feel that he is kind and speaking from the bottom of his heart when he says it? I am a full man who doesn’t know how to be hungry, and I don’t feel backache when I stand up and talk? Is it because I have a different opinion from him?”

"Huh?" Vespa was stunned, and quickly put on a smiley face, "Of course I know that Luo Mini is also kind, but the feeling is really different. How should I put it? Even if they are all giving advice, Luo Mini is always indifferent He shut himself up and looked on coldly; but Mr. Isildur...his concern can make people feel warm..."

Romimos snorted again: "Then you are going to listen to Lord Isildur's harsh advice, and the game is over?"

"I..." Vespa's eyes were confused and unwilling, she struggled for a long time, and finally showed a self-deprecating smile, "Even if I know that what Lord Isildur said was out of good intentions, and even made sense, but The truth is often too light. A person who can only struggle on the line of food and clothing, how do you make her think about the future in the long run? Even if one day I really bring misfortune because of it-the worst is It's a murder—I'd rather die at my youngest and most beautiful than be one of those old wretches in the slums."

"Aren't you afraid of death?" This was also beyond Romimos' expectations. She thought that a materialistic person like Vespa must be extremely afraid of death.

"I'm a little scared of the pain I'll suffer before I die, but is death itself scary? I don't think so at all," Vespa said. "For me, that's probably the only time I'll be equal to the king. Of course I I long to live, but miserable life is more terrible than death in my opinion. When I first came to the Royal Opera House of Arlando, I imagined more than once, either I will make a difference here, or I will find a new life before I am completely abandoned. Die quietly in a place where no one is there."

"You are not even afraid of death, so why worry about being caught by Isildur again?"

"Hey..." Vespa frowned sadly, "I'm not afraid of being caught by him, but I'm afraid that he will be disappointed if he finds that I haven't listened to his good advice."

"You won't fall in love with him, will you?" Romimos asked, blinking.

"Oh, when did Luo Mini become a master of love?" Vespa's eyes flickered, and he answered irrelevant questions with a smile.

"Just a personal experience, when you can't bear to see someone let down, that person doesn't mean the same to you anymore."

"Oh, you're right." Vespa breathed out a long breath, staring at the tears on the candle with blurred eyes, "The disappointed face of a lover is more heartbreaking than death."
