Agnes looked at the master and said in a determined tone.
The girl's confident look was rather cute than majestic. If it were normal, Bianca would have been amused.
But in this situation, she couldn't laugh no matter what, she just felt ridiculed and helpless.
"Maybe I have a reason to live, but some things are more important than living, Agnes."
Everyone is greedy for life, and Bianca naturally does not want to die like this, but in her opinion, if the price of survival is to beg for mercy from that young man and survive by betraying friends and employers, then it is undoubtedly giving up on herself.
Dignity is more uncomfortable than death.
After saying this, Bianca felt tired from the bottom of her heart, and her sight, which had already been blurred before, was even more blurry now.
She was already very weak due to hunger and injuries, and talking to her apprentice for so long drained her remaining energy.
"Okay, I have finished what I need to say. You can go back and don't waste any more words." She expressed her will to her apprentice in a weak voice, "You said you were not involved in the conspiracy, I believe you.
So now I have no resentment towards you, Agnes, while I still have a good impression of you, please leave as soon as possible!"
The teacher's stubborn attitude did not dampen Agnes's enthusiasm. On the contrary, she remained unyielding, "I know that you are not afraid of death. You have killed people and are not afraid of being killed... But teacher, have you ever thought about it?"
, is death different from death? If you die in a duel as a swordsman, it will be a glorious death. Everyone will admire you, and you will be able to leave this world without any regrets; but what about now? Now
If you die in this dark and small place, what's the difference between you and a rat in the gutter? What's more, you will have to bear the reputation of being executed instead of being assassinated. It has neither glory nor reputation! Such an embarrassing way to die.
, can you really be calm?"
During Agnes' interrogation, Bianca, who was originally despairing, suddenly felt another throbbing pain in her chest, and her breath was blocked in her lungs, almost causing her to vomit.
Her extremely weak body was unable to react much, but her breathing and her eyes full of regret and resentment proved that it was indeed difficult for her to accept such a result.
For a person like her who is arrogant and arrogant, when she thinks about capsizing in the gutter, being plotted against by a helpless young woman, being accidentally captured, and finally dying silently in this small prison, she still has to bear the burden of "incompetence".
"The ridicule is indeed extremely uncomfortable.
Under Agnes's provocation, Bianca, who had already lost all hope, began to feel angry again in her heart.
"It's not because of your good sister!" She cursed in a low voice, "She played tricks and got me to this point... I underestimated her. I really shouldn't have been merciful to her in the first place!"
"You see, you did not accept your fate as you imagined." Agnes smiled slightly, "So, if you have the opportunity to avenge my sister and yourself, are you willing to do it? You
Will he choose to forgive her because he has accepted death?"
What? Bianca hadn't spoken yet, but the count who had been listening silently beside him was shocked.
He originally asked Agnes to persuade Bianca, but he didn't have high hopes. He just adopted the attitude of "treating a dead horse as a living horse". It seemed that Agnes had really made some progress, but there was no progress.
Thinking of the sudden change in the painting style, it looked as if Agnes was inciting Bianca's hatred towards her sister.
This was not his plan.
He was about to stop him verbally, but Agnes quietly gave him a wink to signal him not to speak.
Because the light in the room was dim, Bianca couldn't see clearly the interaction between the two people opposite, and only Edmund could detect it.
He immediately understood that Agnes was just playing tricks - so he suppressed the urge to speak out and continued to wait and see.
Although she knew that Agnes was deliberately provoking her, Bianca was still easily provoked to anger.
Yes, with her personality, how could she really let go of her anger and hatred?
But even she knew that Agnes and Alice were sisters with deep feelings, and it was impossible for them to avenge themselves.
"What's the point of saying this now? Do you think that if I say I hate her, you will help me take revenge?" she asked with a sneer.
"Of course I won't. She is my sister. Although I am very angry that she is playing tricks on her reputation and ruining my reputation, there is still a difference between this anger and hatred. How can I avenge my sister for you?" Agni?
Si answered honestly.
Such straightforward words made Bianca so angry that her eyesight went dark again and she almost laughed, "Then what are you asking me for!"
"I made it very clear, you can't let go of your hatred, you want revenge, but if you die like this, you will never be able to get revenge." Agnes replied in a matter-of-fact tone, "Not only can you not get revenge,
Qiu, all of us will still watch you die silently, and my sister will still be rewarded for capturing you... You have truly become her stepping stone."
Although she knew this was true, Agnes' words still aroused Bianca's anger.
Precisely because she knew it was a fact and an irreversible fact, Bianca felt sincerely angry - what was more uncomfortable than death was that someone benefited from her death.
She stared at Agnes fiercely, her eyes seemed to be dancing with lightning, "So are you trying to amuse me on purpose?"
Although her body was still weak at the moment, the aura of a ferocious beast waiting to be hunted was exuded in the small space again. The proud swordsman seemed to be alive again, ready to choose someone to devour at any time.
"Of course not, I'm just telling you the facts clearly." Faced with the pressure from the master, Agnes, who had long been accustomed to it, remained unmoved and still looked at the master with that light and innocent look, "If you are angry
Well, I might as well put it more bluntly, you will die in obscurity here, be cremated, and then buried in the garden, or if you are willing to order me, I can also take you to a better place
and all the people who framed you will not only not be considered as murderers, but will be honored by your death. They will celebrate the success of their conspiracy and will never feel any guilt, and your innocent soul will be in this place.
No one will hear you crying in this ghost place - no one will avenge you, everyone except me will forget you, and I can only continue to get along with my sister with a little regret, because
In my mind, she is more important than you..."
"Enough!" Bianca almost screamed to stop her apprentice.
"You asked me to stop, but what can you do now? You are so weak that you can only lie in bed and wait for death. You cannot restrain my actions, let alone threaten me." Agnes still refused.
Rao, "Do you accept this result? Are you satisfied? Death is very simple, living will be more painful. Before facing death, they will have a lot of patience to keep you alive and feel the humiliation and pain, just like you
Just like what I taste now.”
Bianca's breathing was already extremely rapid. She wanted to curse her apprentice for speaking so harshly at this time, but she couldn't because she had no way to refute these facts.
[By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, install the latest version. 】
Precisely because Agnes said these words, the stimulation became particularly uncomfortable.
"Tell Alice to come to me!" Bianca roared.
After yelling, even she herself was stunned.
He is nothing more than a prisoner now, so what qualifications do he have to name someone to come to see him? Besides, even if Alice really comes here, what can he do to her with chains all over her body? He scolds her.
Shameless? That is meaningless, and even this kind of powerless curse may become the laughingstock of the other party.
Bianca's reaction was not beyond Agnes' expectations.
After getting along on and off for so many years, the master understands the apprentice, and the apprentice naturally understands the master.
With Bianca's arrogance, she would never want to die in a disgraceful way and become a laughing stock.
She deliberately used all kinds of unpleasant words to arouse Bianca's fear, but what Bianca feared was not death itself, but such a meaningless and humiliating death, and the consequences of being forgotten or even despised by others.
This kind of stimulation can arouse Bianca's unwillingness and resentment, and this unwillingness and resentment can vaguely bring about a desire for life.
Just when Bianca was vaguely regretting her gaffe, Agnes nodded solemnly, "If you want to see her, I can let you see her, but not now. Wait for you to see her again.
Now that you are free, you will naturally have plenty of opportunities to see her."
"Regain your freedom?" Bianca listened as if she had heard a joke, "Are you kidding me?"
She knew that her "sin was so serious" that she would never be let go easily by that young man. Even if her life was spared due to betrayal, being imprisoned forever would be the inevitable result.
This is one of the reasons why she resisted so resolutely - since the best result is to sit in jail until death, what is the difference between it and death? Why betray others despicably.
"It is true that you have seriously offended him and will not be spared easily. However, since he has given you the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, he will naturally decide how to deal with you based on what you have done. You have made a decision
How much credit you have made means how much reward you can get. If you do it satisfactorily enough, it is not unimaginable to let you go free. After all, you are just an executor. To him, behind the scenes
The messenger is more important..."
If taken literally, the conditions proposed by Agnes are not unattractive, but they lack only one thing: credibility. At least it is difficult for Bianca to believe this kind of promise.
"Humph, you are so clever." Bianca sneered, "It seems that you and your sister have learned a lot."
"I'm not lying!" Agnes shook her head heavily, "If you really did as I said, he would have no reason to embarrass you! And I will also intercede for you."
"Plea? Why do you ensure that your plea is effective?" Bianca asked, "Do you think you really have weight? Or do you think you have charmed him so much that you just want to propose anything?
Will he agree to the request?"
Bianca's words made Agnes choke and blush.
After all, this is indeed not something she is proud of.
But at this moment, in order to convince the master to save her life, she could only hold back the shame in her heart and nodded gently to admit it. "We do have a good relationship, and he has said several times that he is willing to help me.
So I believe that if I plead with him desperately, he will definitely be touched..."
"I can testify to this." At this time, Edmund, who had been silent, finally spoke up to support Agnes, "Your Majesty values Miss Agnes very much. I heard that Miss Agnes' family was in trouble. What's the matter?
I helped you without saying anything; it is conceivable that if Miss Agnes vouch for you based on their friendship, Your Majesty will also consider it carefully."
Edmund's words were also half true and half false, but in Bianca's view they were quite convincing, because she had long believed in her heart that the relationship between her apprentice and the young man was extraordinary - so, from this perspective
, Agnes' conditions seem to have become more attractive again.
Agnes used various threats to stimulate Bianca's desire to live, and at the same time used the freedom she longed for to seduce. Deep in her heart, Bianca, who did not want to die, slowly emerged from the dark space when she saw it.
After the light, the seemingly indestructible will to die finally wavered slightly.
"What if he breaks the contract? People like him must be used to breaking promises, right?" Bianca asked softly.
"Then I will be buried with you!" Agnes hesitated for a moment and replied in a decisive tone, "You may not trust him, but you should always trust me, right? If I plead for you and he agrees, that means
I am burdened with the obligation to fulfill my promise. If I fail to do so, I would rather receive the severest punishment! If he breaks the contract, it will not only break his trust with you, but also deny me and deny the friendship he keeps talking about. In that case, I will have nothing to do.
If you live in this world, I would rather give my life to apologize to you - if you don't believe me, I can even wipe my neck in front of you, what do you think?"
After finishing speaking, she faced her master proudly. Although both of them were in very bad condition at this time, the heroic spirit of Agnes seemed to be reborn in the girl.
Bianca looked at her apprentice quietly, as if assessing her determination.
I don't know how long it took before she suddenly made a sound.
"Let the count out."
Edmund originally wanted to speak, but was stopped by Agnes, who signaled him to do so with her eyes.
In desperation, the count had no choice but to bow and leave the attic along the stairs.
