The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

　　 Helena was locked in her room alone. Here she has no one to talk and confide in. As punishment for her, her father Feodor put Helena's maid into the dungeon.

　　 Every day, no one is allowed to see her except the servant who delivers the meal. The only thing that accompanies her is the Bible.

　　 In such an environment, Helena's will gradually became confused. Her original love for him was put to the test. Every night, there is a voice asking her: Does he love you? Do you love him, or do you hate him?

　　 And whenever she thinks about this problem, a boundless fear grabs her.

　　 Does he love me? If you love, why don't you come to see me for so many days?

　　 No, he can't come. Even if it reveals a little about his relationship with himself, what awaits him is the gallows in Smolensk Square.

　　 Do I love him or not?

　　 Helena feels, clearly feels that it is precisely because of his presence that her heart beats so fast. In her dreams, in her heart, in her mind, there was nothing else, it was all him, the man who made him unable to hold himself. Because as long as she sees him, she feels very comfortable in her eyes; as long as she hears his voice, she feels the angel is singing.

　　 So I love him, and he loves me too.

　　 Helena firmly remembered the love words he said to herself: "I love you better than a kingdom; I love you better than a scepter."

　　 Yeah, how can a person who can speak such beautiful words not love himself?

　　 For so many days, Helena has tortured herself repeatedly and made herself strong again and again.

　　 "Lord, may our hearts never change." Helena said silently. She put her head against the Bible and let the cross touch her forehead.

　　 At this time, there was a knock on the door.

　　 "Helena, can I come in?"

　　 It was Xiao Anzumov who spoke, but although he used an inquiring tone, he pushed the door in without waiting for Helena's consent.

　　 "Mr. Earl."

　　 Regarding the irrationality of the little Anzumov, Helena didn't care about it, she referred to the little Anzumov by knighthood.

　　 Little Anzumov didn't mind Helena's alienation. He closed the door and said in a gentle tone: "My dear Helena."

　　 Helena immediately interrupted him and said: "Mr. Earl, please don't call me that. You should know that I already belong to me."

　　 "Of course I know. I need to know who that person is right away, tomorrow. I'm here to inform you that we will hold a meeting tomorrow, and your father and I hope you can also participate."

　　 "I am not interested in military and political matters." Helena refused.

　　 At this time, Xiao Anzumov walked around in front of Helena, and said in a still gentle but playful tone: "People who can attend the meeting, you will be interested."

　　Helena sat there, without a trace of reaction to the words of Anzumov, only her fingers kept rubbing the book cover.

　　 "They are," Seeing Helena was silent, Xiao Anzumov said word by word:

　　 "Congressman Doronin."

　　 "Oleg, the company captain of the Cossacks."

　　 "Also," Xiao Anzumov deliberately prolonged the tone.

　　 "Lieutenant Catherine of the Mercenary Corps."

　　 Little Anzumov noticed that when he talked about Catherine, Helena's finger on the bible paused inadvertently. Now, he is more sure.

　　 "Mr. Earl, I don't know these three people." Helena turned her head and said stiffly.

　　 "Yes, of course. How could the noble Miss Helena fall in love with a lowly Cossack and a foreign mercenary?"

　　 When he said this, Anzumov smiled happily.

　　 "I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying that Senator Doronen is my sweetheart?"

　　Helena stood up, because she discovered that at some point when it started, the little Anzumov had put her face so close, and the heat from her mouth hit her cheeks.

　　 "You will understand what I mean. As long as you admit that your lover is Doronin tomorrow." Little Anzumov said.

　　 "I wouldn't do this!" Helena's chest kept rising and falling, and Xiao Anzumov actually wanted her to frame Doronin, which made her feel sick.

　　 "You would do this."

　　 "I won't, no. Now you can go out. Mr. Earl, I'm a little tired." Helena issued an eviction order.

But Anzumov, who is always gentle and gentle, unexpectedly stepped forward and grabbed Helena by the hair. He violently grabbed Helena's head and said, "You will, miss. If you don't want to be identified tomorrow It's the mercenary."

　　 For the first time, Helena's eyes showed trepidation.

　　 This strengthened Xiao Anzumov's judgment.

　　 "Do you know how I knew? Then I have to thank Franco, who is the head of the mercenary group. He is really amazing, and he limited the suspect to three people."

　　 "Ah!" Helena let out a painful cry, it turned out that Xiao Anzumov pulled her hair down again.

"The noble Miss Helena, of course, would not be regarded as a dirty Cossack. And Senator Doronen, although the kid is considered a talent, but in front of a woman is a taciturn wood. If he wants to seduce a woman, it is better to find a prostitute. Rape him quickly. After that counts, there is only Catherine left. Huh, a Scot. And a lieutenant of a mercenary group that defends the castle. You have a chance to meet! Does his organ blow well? "

　　 "You have no evidence. Count." Helena struggled.

"I have no evidence." Xiao Anzumov let go of Helena, he straightened his cuffs and continued: "But it is easier for me to kill a mercenary than trample an ant. Even if he is not my love enemy, If I want him to die, I still have a thousand ways. Do you want to receive a gift tomorrow? How about a pair of eyeballs!" Xiao Anzumov threatened ~www.NovelMTL.com~ Please don't do this, don't do this. "Helena cried. She couldn't imagine Catherine's eyes being dug out. She collapsed.

　　 Yes, that lover is Catherine of the mercenary group. The two met for the first time in the corridor of the castle. At that time, they read a paragraph from Shakespeare's play, but Catherine, who was standing guard in the corridor, immediately took the next sentence. For the common hobbies of poetry, drama, and music, the two came together.

　　 "Then you will do what I said, tomorrow?" Xiao Anzumov asked.

　　 Helena nodded.

　　 Xiao Anzumov is satisfied. This is exactly the result he wants. As he himself said, marrying Helena is not his purpose, what he wants is the identity of Fyodor’s son-in-law; then, who his love rival is, in fact, is not so important, the important thing is whether he can use this Things get the most benefit. Defeating Congressman Doroning is where the interests lie.

　　 Eliminated Doronin, and one less enemy of his family in the provincial assembly. Moreover, in the coming war, the possibility of owning the militia will be even greater.

　　 "Don't worry, as long as you do what I say. Your lover will keep everything safe. I don't even mind if you continue to associate with him after we get married. As long as you listen to me."

　　 After the threat, Xiao Anzumov made another empty promise to Helena.

　　 "What you said is true?" Helena asked in surprise.

　　 "I can swear in the name of God." Xiao Anzumov lifted Helena up, and he returned to his polite manner, with a face of integrity when he spoke.

　　 On the floor of the bedroom, the bible was stained with dust because it fell on the ground, and the cross was gray.
