Golden Greenery

The weather in Vienna has changed. A sudden strong wind is shaking the redwoods of the Merlin Palace. Dark clouds are pressing over the city. A heavy rain is just around the corner.

In the brightly lit palace, Mydel Swinburne looked around at the clansmen with despair in her eyes. And there was disbelief, anger, and ridicule in their eyes when they looked at her.

Medel tilted her head and forced herself to smile a little, but in their eyes, she was sarcastic.

"You all think it was me?"

.

Eight years ago, because of the sports tradition of her aristocratic family, 11-year-old Mydel chose to practice modern compound bows, like her cousin Christine Josephine, who has been her idol since she was a child.

Because she resented Zhuo Yang and Kou Kou for falling in love behind her back, and no longer wanted to learn from her cousin, she gave up the modern compound bow in anger and started learning women's foil, which is also a highly respected sport in the aristocratic circle.

She is the apple of the Swinburne family's eye and can get everything she wants. The family invited a former East German men's foil youth champion and a former member of the French Olympic fencing team, 41-year-old Gerd Schmolin, for her.

After Gerd Schmolin retired, he served as a fencing coach in traditional aristocratic families many times. Midel also showed that she is more talented in foil than bow and arrow, and she made rapid progress during practice.

One day at the end of June 2010, according to Midel, Teacher Schmolin suddenly left without saying goodbye and was never heard from again.

Half a month later, Gerd Schmolin, wearing a yellow casual suit, attacked Zhuo Yang and Kou Kou on the pilgrimage to Santiago, Spain, with two companions. But their attack was thwarted, and Zhuoyang severely wounded Schmolin. His right arm holding the knife was shot through by Kou Kou with an arrow.

Four years later, Gerd Schmolin's identity was exposed, and his relationship with Mydel was discovered.

.

"Midel, you need to give an explanation now." Midel's uncle, Archduke Frank Joseph of Austria, said.

"Uncle, what explanation do you want?" Midel frowned and smiled at the corner of her mouth: "Don't you already believe that I am the one who is the master? Why do you want me to explain?"

The Grand Duke of Hungary, George von, spread his hands and shrugged and said, "Medel, we want to hear the details of the matter. It is a very bad thing for a family to kill each other."

"Uncle George, since you know everything, why don't you come and tell me what happened?"

George Feng shrugged again,

Noncommittal.

Motivated and capable, so solid.

Hate out of love, mad out of jealousy. This is a vulgar plot, but it is also the most reasonable hatred in the world. Midel does not want to see Zhuo Yang and Kou Kou together, and she can easily obtain the detailed schedules of Zhuo Yang and Kou Kou.

Although Midel was only 15 years old four years ago, in the eyes of ordinary people she might have been just a child, an ignorant girl, but the aristocratic circle was never simple, and there were no children in this circle. The Queen of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, whom Midel's ancestor Princess Sissi admired.

A 15-year-old double countess has great influence on ordinary people, and too many people are willing to accept her orders.

A 15-year-old double countess has already begun to have her own family income, and has no problem using financial resources that are not in line with her age but in line with her status.

Use your aristocratic status to order Gerd Schmolin, use a year's personal relationship as a teacher and student to request him, and use money to buy him. Midel undoubtedly had both the ability and the motive to orchestrate the attack on Zhuo Yang and Kou Kou, and she had broken up their engagement just months before.

.

Marquise Ophelia cried and hugged Medel, who was her mother.

"Midel, please tell everyone that it was not you. Please tell them that you are a kind girl and there is no way you could have done such a thing."

Ophelia's tone didn't sound like she was trying her best to refute everyone, but more like a mother desperately trying to defend her child who had done something wrong. What's more, in aristocratic families, there is always a lack of knowledge, but the concept of 'kindness' is different from the dictionary.

Medel gently broke away from her mother's embrace and continued to look at everyone sadly.

Kou Kou was also crying. She could not imagine that her relationship with Midel would become so bad, and that she would become enemies at war with each other. Zhuoyang held her shoulders and looked at Midel.

Koko cried and asked: "Midel, why did you do this? How can you be so cruel? Do you really want to destroy Zhuoyang? Do you want to kill him?" She shook her head while crying.

Midel did not answer her cousin's question. She looked at Zhuo Yang: "Mr. Zhuo Yang, do you also think it was me?"

Zhuo Yang lowered his head, took a deep breath, then raised his head. After a moment of silence, he said firmly: "No!"

Everyone looked at Zhuo Yang, including his fiancée Kou Kou.

Zhuoyang stared at Midel: "You didn't do it. The attack... has nothing to do with you."

Kou Kou looked at Zhuo Yang in disbelief, Kou Kou's father also frowned again, and many people had amusement in their eyes.

George Feng said: "Do you have evidence? Who do you think did it?"

"It was Samba Duoji, he did it. I have no evidence, but I am also convinced that it is definitely not Midel."

"why would you say so?"

"No reason, I believe her."

Koko let go of Zhuoyang's arm, raised her head and looked at him solemnly. Dad Kou reminded in a deep voice: "Zhuoyang..."

Zhuo Yang nodded and said to Kou Kou: "Kou Kou, Mide'er is not that kind of person. We don't need to doubt anyone if we doubt her."

"Everyone, Gerd Schmolin has only been Midel's tutor for less than a year, that's all. Please trust my intuition and believe in Midel's innocence. This matter has nothing to do with her. .”

George Feng chuckled lightly and did not answer. Intuitive?

Zhuo Yang said to Kou Kou again: "Dear, we don't need to doubt Mi Del at all, we must believe her."

Koko asked quickly: "Would you rather believe her than me?"

"How do you say this?" Zhuo Yang took Kou Kou's hand: "Midel is our sister, our biological sister. If you don't trust your own sister, how can you trust others in this world?"

My sister? She broke up our engagement just a few months ago. Koko shook her head in pain.

Zhuoyang looked at Midel with a smile: "Midel, I just heard the news suddenly. Frankly speaking, I was confused and didn't react. I'm sorry, Midel, I made you feel wronged. Don't worry, Zhuo Brother Yang will investigate the matter clearly, and no one will think of unjustly accusing you."

Medel smiled, very brightly, and even laughed out loud at the end.

"Brother Zhuoyang, you are wrong. I did it. I ordered Shi Molin to do it. I gave him a lot of money. It was me who did it."

"Sister Kou Kou, you guessed it right. You all guessed it right. Only Mr. Zhuoyang is a fool. It was really me who did it."

"Now, are you all satisfied?"

At this moment, Midel looked like a ferocious madman.
