Chapter 3 third chapter

Jade witnesses Galway Stone's magnificent mansion and holds her breath.This is Leith Castle. With a hint of sweet expectation, she searched for a handsome face in the crowd.After finding nothing everywhere, she mustered up her courage and approached a group of young Fei family members.Hello, nice to meet you. There was a long silence.The girls glared at the intruder, looking at her expensive green velvet gown and her plump, towering peaks. Oh, isn't this the Queen of England?Fina said sarcastically, and the other girls laughed along with her. Jade braves the taunt and tries again.My mother is Fei and I am half Irish.

Which half is it?The top half?Fina said slowly.The Lushan claws of the other two young men touched her twin peaks. Oh, if she's Irish, she must be from the Lilliputians.Titi followed. The blood on Jade's face faded.She had never hated her petite figure so much. May I have your name?another girl asked. The lady's name is Emerald.A deep and mellow voice sounded from behind everyone. Jade turned around and looked up at Jin Theon's smiling silver eyes.Suddenly she didn't care if the other girls treated her cruelly.None of that mattered anymore, except that he was here, smiling at her, so close that she could reach out and touch him.She tossed her black curly hair back over her shoulders and smiled broadly.Happy birthday, Theon.

He smiled, recalling the last time the two met.Her adoration for him is palpable.Theon's heart skipped a beat.It was a pleasure to be so adored by a beautiful woman.He scanned the feminine curves under the velvet of her green swan dress, leaned over and whispered: This fashionable lady can't be Meng Feicui, can she?How did you grow into a woman in a week? She smiled up at him, glad he noticed that she had grown up. Theon took her hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed her fingers.He heard her gasp sharply.He saw her eyes fall on his lips and guessed that for the first time in her life she wondered what a man's kiss would be like.I know what you want to do.he teased.

What?Jade gasped in shock, her cheeks were flushed. Of course it was dancing.Do I have the honor?He holds out his arm.When she caught it, Theon danced her across the lawn.He leaned over and whispered.We had to wait until the two of us were alone before doing anything else. Cradled in Theon's strong arms, Jade felt as if she was floating.Her heart sang with joy at his approach, her blood throbbing with excitement.At the end of the dance, she was glad Theon was still holding her, and started the next dance.She wanted to stay in his arms and dance forever. His cousin Fina tapped him on the shoulder.Theon, you promised to dance with all of us.

Indeed, he was considerate and authentic, but before letting go of Jade, he winked at her and whispered: I'll see you at the stall later. The Fei family women all surrounded Theon.He kept his word and danced with everyone.When the fiddler played a familiar tune, they all shouted: "Have a jig, Theon!"At the request of the audience, Theon does his trick on a beer barrel. Although he chatted and laughed with everyone around him, Theon was clearly aware of Emerald.He knew when she was walking towards the barn, and got rid of his Fay cousin at once.Before he could catch up to Jade, however, Raymond stopped him from speaking.

Have you checked the guns that the Defender delivered? Yes.The quantity is correct, but the ammo is short. Raymond nodded.I know.We had to transport ourselves to Angel Island.They joined William Meng.He was talking to Feander and Joseph. Joseph was very disappointed to find that Amber did not accompany William Meng.Despite his deep hatred for the Englishman, he came to chat with him, hoping to find out how Amber was doing.Joseph began to suspect that he had contracted the contagion of love. William Meng said: Thank you for your invitation, Raymond, and I also hope that you can come to London and let me be a landlord.In particular, the training Joseph received was political. He had the opportunity to visit the Congress and the House of Representatives and make detailed observations from the inside.I can introduce him to some influential people.Don't forget my brother is the Earl of Sandage.He has access to the homes of every important person in London, and he is a favorite of the Prince of Wales.

Raymond looked at his father-in-law, waiting for his reaction.Feander loathes the British Parliament. Ender smiled at Raymond, and tolerated it with a noble spirit: London will be an invaluable experience for Joseph, but that may have to wait until the day when the Irish Parliament and the British Parliament merge into one.answered the count. Suddenly Joseph wanted to go to London very much, because Amber would be back there soon.He held out his hand to William Meng.thank you for your invitation.I have been to the port of London many times with ships, but I have never had the opportunity to enjoy the social life of London.

I will be back in London earlier this year.The Navy is busy with the war with France and wants me to go back as soon as possible. Theon bit his lip to keep himself from laughing out loud in their presence.At this moment Joseph's thoughts were all on his words.But Theon has no objection to visiting London.There is a place where merchant ships from all over the world gather, and with the war with France, there should be opportunities to benefit from it.He caught Joseph's gaze, and the two brothers excused themselves and walked towards the stall. Are you crazy, Joseph?Your desires are plainly written on your face for everyone to see.William Meng didn't invite you to London to have sex with his wife.God, stop coveting the forbidden fruit, Joseph.Find someone to sleep with this afternoon.We are surrounded by willing girls.Open your eyes and look in front of your eyes.

Joseph watched his brother enter the barn.God, why didn't he see clearly what was in front of his eyes?William Meng would be here all day, and Amber would be left alone on Angel Island.I'll be sleeping with someone this afternoon!He went to the house and took out the gift he had prepared for his lover.The first time he saw those precious amber earrings among the shipment from the Balkans, he knew they would be perfect for her! Theon walked into the barn and saw Jade admiring his new steed.Good day, beauty.It's called a demon. I guess it's yours - it's for you.It looks dangerous.

Theon smiled.Meaning I look dangerous too? She shot him a provocative sideways glance.Maybe. We were both tame as lambs, and he teased her.Let me show you, Theon rubbed the bridge of the horse's long nose, put one hand on its neck, and rode on the horse.Do you want to come up?He invites her. Emerald hesitated.He egged her on.Don't be afraid. She tossed her curly black hair.I am not afraid.As soon as she approached the horse, Theon leaned over and hugged her, and sat her down in front of him.oh!she cried breathlessly, clutching her black mane. He sat her between his legs.I won't let you fall, his arms wrapped around her slender waist, and the fragrance of her hair filled his nose.He lifted a lock of black hair from the nape of her neck, and felt her trembling with his lips on her neck.You are the most beautiful girl today.

Theon looked up suddenly and saw someone walking into the stall.Damn it! A young man in formal attire looked up at them.Emerald, I have been looking for you. Luo Lin, this is Oxion.She slipped off the horse sheepishly. You must be Emerald's brother.Welcome to Galway Stone. The young man's face flushed.Hello.I -- I hope you don't mind my visit to the stall.I love horses. Of course I don't mind.Theon said, trying to put the shy boy at ease.It turned out that this was William Meng's son.He's scared of his own shadow, no wonder his father scares the shit out of him. It's so beautiful, Luo Lin reached out and caressed the devil's neck.Are you going to race it? Perhaps, Theon said, dismounted.Are you interested in horse racing? Oh, yes, Luo Lin eagerly said.My mother had told me that Guilt was the center of Irish racing and how I wanted to see Carat.Is it still the same as when she lived here? Theon nodded.Yes, it is still a verdant prairie stretching five thousand acres, with no railings or trees in sight. Luo Lin was good with horses.Emerald is proud and authentic. Luo Lin was also less afraid of life, and said frankly: I like horse racing, but my father doesn't think so.He forced me into the navy even though I was terrified of the sea and threw up on board. Too bad I would have invited you to visit my new boat later.Theon looked to Emerald and silently invited her to his ship. Thanks, but if you don't mind, I'd rather stay here with the horses.Luo Lin replied. welcome.If your father doesn't come to Gwystone with you some other day, we can go to the Cara Races together. Goodness!Luo Lin impulsively shook Theon's hand.He didn't have many friends, and he could hardly believe that Gathion, who had his own ship, would treat him like a peer. I better go back.Theon said, excused himself to leave. Luo Lin waited until he left and said: This place is really wonderful.Did you have a good time? Jade wrinkled her little nose.It was, until you interrupted us. You shouldn't be alone with him. You didn't give us a chance to be alone! I'm sorry, he backed down.go find him.You don't have to stay here with me. Jade had just crossed a stone wall when O'Irene's skirt fluttered down the balcony.Oh you are here.I've been looking for you everywhere, my dear, she took her jade hand.Come on, I want to talk to you privately. Jade was ushered into a gorgeous drawing room, where Irene sat in a window seat overlooking the garden, glass of wine in hand.I'm Oileen, tell me how my dear cousin Amber is doing. Jade understood that the woman was Theon's mother, and her mother's cousin.She took a bold sip of the wine, followed by another.she blurted out.My mother was fine, but she was dying to visit her home in Ireland.My father doesn't allow me to think he's afraid she'll never go back to England. The girl's innocence made Irene's heart ache.She was a beautiful woman, and we cannot blame your father for being possessive. She misses the Fei family very much.I tried to make friends with my Fei cousins, but since I'm from the UK, they considered me an enemy. Looking at this elf-like beauty, Irene could understand why the Fei family girl acted like a jealous cat.Dear Emerald, they are just jealous of your beauty and afraid that you will steal the lion's heart.Go back to dancing and enjoy yourself.Isn't this my son's celebration? Jade confessed: I met your son on Angel Island. Erin saw the flush on her face and understood immediately.At this time a tall figure descended the stairs.They looked up together, Jade mistook it for Theon, gasped, and Irene heard it too. Joseph, Erin called.You came just in time.Take your friends for a dance! Joseph looked blankly at the woman sitting by the nest.I'm about to take my boat out.He was anxious to see Amber. Very good!You can just take her with you! Joseph had no choice but to do what his mother said.He held her arm in a gentlemanly manner, and asked after going out the door: Do I know you, sweet? No, I know your brother Theon. I knew it, and Joseph breathed a sigh of relief.Pretty girls love him.If it's Theon you want, you should be able to find him on his new ship. Emerald's heart beat faster, imagining Oxion's heroic appearance in her own boat. But you must guard your heart carefully.Joseph warned, leading her to the pier. William Meng saw his daughter and Oyuser walking arm in arm, touching Raymond's elbow.They're a match made in heaven, aren't they?An English wife would have been a great help to Joseph, especially since she was the niece of the Lord of the Admiralty. You old fox.You know that Joseph is the next Earl of Guilt, Raymond thought.Worth considering, I'll bring it up with Erin, but you have to know that the final decision rests with Joseph.My son is old enough to make decisions for his own life. Jade wasn't the only Fei woman who came to Theon.Felicity decides it's a good time to give Theon a birthday present, and guesses that Theon will be on his new ship. Theon sat in the captain's cabin and wrote the first record of the voyage.When he heard the knock on the door, he looked up expectantly, expecting to see Jade.But it was his cousin Felicity who walked in. Happy birthday, Theon, she said, handing Theon a small package.I sewed a shirt for you. Thank you Lizzie.He opened the presents and picked up a shirt. Wear it to see if it fits. Theon smiled and took off his shirt. Lizzie immediately threw herself into his bare chest.I've decided not to keep myself until Christmas! Isn't that blasphemous?he joked with a laugh. Emerald boarded the boat and walked to the cabin, her heart beating with excitement.Theon?she shouted.are you down there Not wanting Jade to find him half naked with Liqi, he gave his cousin a stern look and ordered: Don't say anything!He grabbed his shirt and left the cabin, closing the door firmly.He put on his shirt all the way, stopped Jade, and led her in the opposite direction. I know you'd rather show my brother around the ship, but can I?Her green eyes teased him. I know you will come.He said boldly. I couldn't resist - the corners of her lips curled up slightly.the ship. It's me you can't resist, Emerald. No, really, she denied.I never saw a new boat.Her eyes fell on the open collar of his shirt and couldn't take it away.As in her dreams, a sweet anticipation rose within her. I bet there are many things you haven't seen.His fingers burned to touch her.He reached out and stroked the lace on her collar, caressing her cheeks, throat and shoulders with his fingertips. The desire to touch him was so strong.Jade's fingers ran over the initials on his collar, imagining the feeling of his warm skin under her fingertips.Her hand brushed boldly across his chest, feeling the movement beneath.She watched with bated breath as he lowered his head to grab her lips, knowing that this was the moment she had always dreamed of. His lips were firm and demanding, and he parted hers to taste the sweetness.The kiss seemed to last for an eternity.When he finally let her go, she was reeling from his proximity. You taste like wine and women.He whispered, his fingertips stroking her lips, longing for more. Jade was shocked to realize that what was swirling inside her was desire.She took a step back hastily, hiding the confusion in her heart.She turned and walked to the cabin.It's really a beautiful boat.Is that the captain's cabin?Before Theon could stop it, Jade had already pushed the door open and froze in place. Lizzie was completely undressed, lying naked on the captain's berth.I thought you had sent her away.Li Qi said intentionally. Jade covered her lips with her hand, suddenly realized.Theon was putting on his coat when he left the cabin.You - you just had sex! Despite being caught in extremely embarrassing circumstances, Theon used his sense of humor.You're reading an encyclopedia again, Brit.He said wickedly. oh!She turned sharply and staggered away from the scene. Emerald!He yelled, but Jade fell on deaf ears.He turned angrily to the naked body lying on his bed.look what you didCan't you act like a lady?Then he sighed resignedly in his heart, knowing that he was playing the piano to the cow, he moved to chase the jade. Emerald burst into tears.She ran across the deck, trying to find a way to disembark, but in agitation ran towards the bow until there was no way back.She turned and faced the source of her misery head-on. Theon stood on the deck, effectively blocking her escape.Stop running, Emerald.Don't be silly, that's all right. Nothing - I assume you mean it happens every day.she shouted angrily.The sea breeze blew her black hair, her peaks fluctuated excitedly, and the emerald green eyes were burning with anger.Ever since she saw him in the cave, she had thought of him day and night, thinking of him as her Prince of Ireland. Theon clearly sees her innocence and is pleased that she is so.You are a beautiful and proud little girl. His words made her even more angry.I hate Ireland and everyone here!But it's you I hate most, Oxion!she yelled violently. Theon could not resist her fiery beauty.He jerked her into his arms, his lips on hers, tasting her burning anger, cold contempt and sweet innocence. Fei Cui didn't resist strongly, but just as he let her go, she immediately slapped him hard on the face. Theon looked at her in disbelief, unable to believe that he had just been slapped.He grabbed her wrist, thwarting her from another violent attempt, and grinned broadly at her.How could this petite elf be able to piss him off and please him at the same time?He pulled her towards his young and powerful body, holding hers with his silver eyes.One day, my proud beauty, I will do something to you that deserves this slap! Theon's attention was suddenly distracted by the sound of Brimstone hoisting anchor and leaving the pier. He strode to the railing and shouted to his brother: Where the hell are you going? Joseph laughed and shouted: You can guess three times! Theon knew immediately that he was going to Angel Island.Are you crazy?return!Theon considered sailing after him, but knew he couldn't stop Joseph.And when he thought of Jade, she had already left. Galway Stone's celebration was in full swing, and Meng Luolin was the happiest among them.It was hard to believe, but the Fei girl seemed to find him irresistible.He vaguely remembered that his clothes, speech and nationality made him different from other young people present. The two girls gathered around him as if attracted by honey, asking about London, and competing to pour him wine, even Zheng Feng became jealous.Although he could choose the flowers around him at will, his eyes fell on an introverted blonde girl. He indirectly asked the girl's name to be Ferran, and felt that this name was very suitable for her. Oxion generously lent him a horse for racing.He won second place and was very proud of himself.Fei Lan'er went forward to give him a kiss, and Meng Luolin almost didn't want to go back to London. The night is dark, the celebration reaches its climax.Fei Cui huddled miserably on the stairs of the cabin of the Defense, unaware that people from the Leo and Meng families in the mansion were talking about her and Joseph.William Meng was overjoyed when she learned that she and Joseph had set sail.Since she and Joseph were absent all afternoon, it was assumed that she and Joseph were together, and William Meng had already begun to hint at the wedding. Under the orders of his uncle, Rojack summoned the crew of the Defense to join the celebration, and found a person hiding in the dark Emerald. Emerald, why are you here alone?Jack asked in surprise. Jade raised her jaw provocatively.I'm happy to be alone! Jack sat beside him.He has always admired this cousin in his heart, even though she never gave him a good face.Everyone thought you and Ojoser were sailing. Even if only the Ou family is left in the world, I will not sail with them, Fei Cui said angrily.They have no shame at all! Jack was very happy to hear her say that.Come on, you should get back to the celebration. go back yourself!Emerald shouted.Suddenly, the two heard the sound of a ship approaching, lowering the sail, and pulling in the anchor, followed by Oxion's deep and angry voice. It's about time too!What the hell are you playing?When you slept with your sister-in-law on Angel Island, I had to wipe your ass and lie for you in front of your parents! You better watch your mouth, dear brother.Amber is not my sister-in-law.I happen to be deeply in love with this lady.He still clearly remembers how happy Amber was to see him in the afternoon, and how she tearfully said she loved him when she received the Amber earring. Don't lie to yourself, Joseph.If you really loved her, you wouldn't put her in danger on purpose.If William Meng finds out about your love game, he will definitely kill her! Jade tried to breathe, but found that she couldn't, she wanted to yell: Lie!It's all a lie!But Jack put his hand over her mouth.He still wanted to keep listening. William Meng would not find out.He was busy getting money for the gun.Jesus, why haven't these guns been sent to Mammoth yet? Why don't you just yell it out for the whole world to hear?Don't you see the Defender right there?We had to wait until William Meng left before we could remove the guns. The angry male voice gradually moved away from the pier.Roger was elated by what he had just heard.knowledge is power.He would share one message with William immediately, and as for the other - he would keep it until the right time!
