Chapter 854 All I ask

Many people think that being an emperor is a lucky thing, but Ludwig II feels that he is suffering. Just like his ancestors, he gradually went crazy and locked himself in this imitation of the Palace of Versailles. in the palace.

There are Louis XIV, XV, and the "shadow" left by Louis XVI and his beheaded Queen Mary.

In the magnificent Roque-style palace, she seemed to be able to hear the neighing of war horses, the screaming of women, and the roaring of men.

There was a young girl named Joan of Arc, who once held military power and drove the British out of France, but because she was jealous of the French king, she gave her to the British.

Girls like that can't protect themselves, let alone ordinary girls, apart from wisdom, only magic can protect themselves.

It is not known when the curse of the Duke of Lorraine's family began, but it may have continued to Ludwig II along with the blood, just like Queen Victoria's curse.

It's just that he didn't cut his mistress into several pieces like Rudolph II's illegitimate son and threw them out of the castle window. He was isolated from the world and had no contact with anyone. It was certainly the worst thing for a ruler to do, but he didn't hurt anyone.

In the Bible there are two women named Leah and Raj who were married to Jacob the shepherd by their father Laban.

Because Jacob cheated his twin brother Esau of the title and blessing of the eldest son, Esau held a grudge and planned to kill him. The angel Gabriel asked him to go to the house of Laban in Haran to hide. On the way to escape, Jacob dreamed The stairway to heaven, at the top stands Yahweh.

He said a lot, including that there will be many descendants in the future. When Jacob woke up, he used the stone he slept on as a pillar, and made a wish: If God is with me, bless me with food and clothes along the way, so that I can When you return to your father’s house safely, the pillars I erected will surely become temples for people to worship. I will definitely give you a tenth of everything that is given to me.

This is the origin of the religious tax tithes collected by the church from the residents.

Sure enough, Jacob came to Laban's house smoothly, and Laban warmly entertained him. The young man did not eat and drink for free, and shepherd Laban's sheep. Laban saw that Jacob was working hard and raised his flock well So he agreed to marry his daughter to him, provided that Jacob would let Laban graze the sheep for 7 years.

Laban's eldest daughter, Leah, was ugly, and his youngest daughter, Raj, was very beautiful. Jacob wanted to marry Raj, but Laban agreed. After seven years of herding the sheep, finally the wedding day came, and Jacob woke up , found out that the bride was not the beautiful Raj, but the eldest daughter Leah.

Of course Jacob wanted to argue with Laban. Laban said that the rule here is that the eldest daughter can only marry the younger daughter after she is married. Jacob wanted to marry Raj, and Jacob would work for Laban for another seven years.

Jacob had no choice but to work for Laban for another seven years and finally married Raj.

At that time, Leah had already bore Jacob four sons. Raj was jealous of her sister because she had no children. She said to Jacob, "Give me children, or I will die!"

Jacob jumped angrily: "God didn't allow you to be born, so what does it have to do with me?"

Raj was so angry that he gave Jacob his maid Bilhah as a concubine. She later became pregnant and gave birth to a son. Then Raj said to Jacob, "Look, God has avenged me. He heard my voice."

So she adopted the son under her own name and named him "Dan", which means "to avenge justice".

Bilhah bore another son to Jacob, and Leah had stopped bearing children at this time. In order to compete with her sister, she also gave Jacob her maid Zilpah.

The flock of the shepherd Jacob’s family was increasing, and the population of his family was also increasing. Laban wanted to let Jacob work without paying wages, but he did not forbid Jacob to herd the sheep for himself.

When Jacob's strong sheep mate, he will put a branch, and when the thin sheep mate, he will not put that branch. Gradually, Jacob's flock became stronger and stronger, while Laban's sheep became stronger and stronger. thinner.

Laban's sons were jealous of Jacob and said, "Jacob stole my father's wealth, and he made it from my father."

This word reached Jacob's ears, and he found that Laban's face became increasingly ugly.

Sometimes, a good beginning does not necessarily have a good ending.

Jacob quietly left with Laban's two daughters, his own children, livestock and property, and stole his father-in-law's idol before leaving.

Jacob's 12 sons later became the 12 tribes of Israel. He really had many descendants as Jehovah said.

As long as a man likes a woman, even if she is as ugly as Leah, she can do things with her eyes closed or blowing on the lamp.

But those who like the same sex like Ludwig II can't do it.

Some people are born like this, as if God played a bad joke on him and put his soul in the wrong body.

The German emperors, especially the Habsburg family, "unified" Europe by blood relationship, and Ludwig II must have children.

But a man is not a rooster and cannot lay rooster eggs. He is like a dying swan struggling in the lake.

He was in such agony that even though he had several male lovers, it was hard to tell whether they really loved him, were seeking to benefit from him, or were submitting to the emperor's power.

He devoted his energy and enthusiasm to architecture and art, and built many fairy-tale castles. At the same time, he also used up the money in the treasury. In the end, he was deposed on the grounds of mental illness.

Giovanni said he was an architect, so did he ever design those beautiful castles with the Swan King?

This vampire seemed to be very familiar with this place, and was very gentle when touching those items, as if remembering someone.

"Do you think he and Ludwig II are lovers?" Pomona asked Severus in a low voice.

"He's straight." Severus also bent down to whisper to her.

"Poor little thing," she said sympathetically.

What could be more tragic than a gay man falling in love with a straight man?

Some people are born to like the opposite sex, no matter how nice the homosexuals are to them, it doesn't matter. Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou are examples, even though it is a movie.

It's just that no one will be indifferent to this kind of sincere feeling. In order to keep awake, the only way is to keep a distance.

Bavaria is one of the rare pure lands in the witch hunting movement. Although the prince and bishop are still not so religious, he prohibits witchcraft and slander, which is much better than Britain, which refuses to ban witch hunting laws.

The Black Forest is scary, but this place is not as eerie as it looks.

On the contrary, the beautiful Switzerland and France are the real "hardest hit areas".

At this moment, Giovanni walked up to a piano and lightly touched the keys.

It seems to have been tuned, and the sound is still pleasant.

So Giovanni sat down at the piano.

He sat alone for a while, his slender fingers began to jump on the keyboard.

It's a piece from Weber's opera "The Phantom of the Opera", called All I ask of you.

At the end of the first act, the performance began that night. In order to thwart the phantom's plan, the young viscount sat in the fifth box.

Enraged by their contempt, the Phantom first interrupted the performance by changing the voice of the haughty female lead singer on stage into the cry of a toad, and later removed a dead body, already hanged by a Punjabi lasso, from the stage during a ballet performance. The sky curtain was hung down, causing the audience to panic.

While everyone was panicking, Christine and Raul fled to the roof. There, she told him what had happened to her, and while Lauer comforted her that it was all a dream, he expressed his long-buried love to Christine. Raoul:

No more talk of darkness

Forget these wide-eyed fears

I'm here, nothing can harm you (I'm here, nothing can harm you)

My words will warm and calm you (My words will warm and calm you)

Let me be your freedom

Let daylight dry your tears (Let daylight dry your tears)

I'm here with you beside you

To guard you and to guide you (protect you, guide you)

Christine:

Say you love me every waking moment

Turn my head with talk of summertime

Say you need me with you now and always (say you need me now and always)

Promise me that all you say is true

That's all I ask of you

Raoul:

Let me be your shelter

Let me be your light (Let me be your light)

You're safe no one will find you

Your fears are far behind you

Christine:

All I want is freedom (All I want is freedom)

A world with no more night

And you always beside me (And you always beside me)

To hold me and to hide me

Raoul:

Then say you'll share with me

One love one lifetime

Let me lead you from your solitude

Say you need me with you here beside you

Anywhere you go let me go too

Christine that's all I ask of you

Christine:

Say you'll share with me (say you love me)

One love one lifetime

Say the word and I will follow you

together (together):

Share each day with me, each night each morning

(Let's spend every day and night together)

Say you love me (say you love me)

You know i do (you know I love you)

Love me (love me)

That's all I ask of you

Anywhere you go let me go too

Love me (love me)

That's all I ask of you

In the dreamlike light and shadow, the years have passed. More than 100 years have passed since Ludwig II drowned in the lake, and the content of the opera has also undergone tremendous changes.

Many people remember Princess Sissi and Franz, but few people remember Ludwig II, because he is too lonely and not understood by others, isn't he crazy?

But one vampire still remembered him and knew what he liked.

There was little attention when Donnhauser was first performed in 1845, but after a few years the play became a hit and was praised by critics who had criticized it.

In 1870, deep underground in the Paris Opera House, it is said that there lived an ugly, masked, but knowledgeable musical genius. Phantom".

Little Christine Day, who lost her father when she was young, was taken to the Opera House by Mrs. Gilley to receive dance training and become a ballerina. When she couldn't fall asleep late at night, little Christine always looked forward to the appearance of the musical angel her father had promised her. Sympathetic to her loneliness, Phantom pretends to be a musical angel, talks to her through the wall, comforts her young heart, and teaches her singing skills. In this way, nine years have passed, and with the help of the phantom, the young and beautiful Christine became famous overnight with her wonderful singing voice.

Why, Christine, why don't you love that "musical angel" who comforts you late at night and puts you to sleep? Is it because he looks ugly and terrifying?

Or is it because he can't appear in public like Raul?

Christine and Lauer ran to the roof of the theater to make love, but were discovered by the phantom. Raul and Christine are secretly engaged, and the Phantom suddenly appears at a masquerade ball at the opera house, forcing the opera house to perform the opera "Don Giovanni" he composed himself, and appoints Christine as the heroine.

It was an allegation that the innocent-looking new opera star was a "female Don Juan."

I want to run away after using it. How can there be such a cheap thing?

Isn't the phantom who hates because of love pitiful?

No one sang, only Giovanni's piano sound, and Pomona kept echoing the song in her head like an auditory hallucination.

She was crying alone, and the other three masked men were as hard-hearted as ever, with no expression on their faces.

In the gorgeous palace after nightfall, only her cries and the sound of the piano are constantly sending out "echoes".

I’m a romance novel writer, not a paper published on nature. If you want to read rigorous ones, you can read the classics. There are loopholes in those things, let alone a writer like me.
