Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2431 The Battle of the Night Queen (1)

   Each local Freemason has different "enrollment ceremonies", but one thing in common is that the guide will cover the eyes of the newcomer with a cloth, and then take off the blindfold when they reach the place.

   This is actually the same routine as someone being kidnapped. The purpose is to hide the location of the clubhouse, but it later turned into darkness and light. The symbol of Freemasonry is an eye.

  Georgianna knew that The Magic Flute had a lot of Freemason elements in it, but the opening of the curtain at the end of the prelude surprised her. There was a large snake on the stage, of course not alive, but a prop, about the size of a basilisk, and with amber eyes.

  Padma was also taken aback and covered her eyes subconsciously. Her dance partner Charles immediately smiled and comforted her.

Georgiana pretended to be calm and lightly fanned the folding fan in her hand, which she "bought" at the exhibition today. It uses shells, and the garden of Eden is depicted in a hollowed-out way. The shells will change with the light. Colored light.

   Immediately after, the "big snake" stepped aside, allowing the "prince" to show his figure...

  Tenors usually have a big belly, so that they have enough lung capacity to sing a penetrating voice, but the Belgian tenor's big belly can't even be covered by a deliberately loose robe.

   At this moment, the big snake suddenly fell to the ground, making a "dong" sound, and everyone in the opera house laughed. Then three witches appeared. They were the handmaidens of the Queen of the Night. After defeating the serpent chasing the Egyptian prince, they surrounded him, saying that the prince lying on the ground was very good-looking.

  Charles didn't know what to say to Padma, she didn't watch the show, stared at him and laughed, and then Georgiana felt a burning gaze. She followed her feelings and looked over, and found that Alice was looking straight at Padma and Charles.

   That look was the same as Lavender looked at him after Ron broke up with Lavender Brown, and then Georgiana turned her gaze to the opera.

The magic flute was once very popular, not only because it was written by Mozart, but also because the aria in the evening was very gorgeous and suitable for soprano to show off her skills. The leading female singers of various opera houses will perform to prove their solid skills. singing. Even though it was banned for a while, the actors played it with ease.

Then there was an impressive scene. Three "Queens of the Night" appeared on the stage, an Italian soprano appointed by Napoleon, a soprano from England, and a soprano from Brussels. , They divided the words of the night into three paragraphs, and sang each one in turn.

  The audience under the stage whispered, watching the live version of the opera always have this kind of "dramatic" scene, and Richard Edgeworth, who was in the same box with Georgiana, was very happy to see it.

  No one cares, so be it.

Georgiana looked at the three night queens who were like golden apples surrounding the prince. Maybe she thought too much. When the night queen sang "A young man like you must be able to comfort my mother's sorrow", she I couldn't help but glanced at Bolsky's box. The old widow was indeed accompanied by a young man, but he didn't look handsome, and his hair was sparse because of his wisdom.

   "That's La Boucher of the 'House of Hope'." Edgeworth leaned over, looked in that direction and said, "Are you going to see him?"

   "Don't worry." Georgiana looked around to see if she could find other acquaintances.

   At this time, the curtain came down. It turned out that the performance of the evening was over, and the prince was left alone on the stage, and then a funny character appeared - a bird catcher covered in colorful feathers.

  Maria's family did not have a smile on their faces.

   This matter is both an internal affairs of other countries and an international issue. Because lynchings are repeatedly banned among the people, Arthur Young, an agronomist of the Enclosure Committee, was almost hanged by a French peasant.

  When the judges of the court are still carrying out procedural justice, the countryside is still judged by natural justice.

At this time, the important prop of the whole opera "Magic Flute" came on stage, and the maids of the night handed it to the prince. It looked like wood, but the lyrics said it was more precious than gold, and then they were in the night. Under the guidance of the maids, they went to the castle and rescued the princess.

   By the end of this scene, there were no actors on the stage, and then there was applause, and the audience in the box and the seats below all stood up, preparing for the "intermission".

  Georgianna did not go with the others. She was taken by the manager and took another path, which can also be said to be a special passage. It was like a secret passage leading to a small room, which was decorated brilliantly.

   She walked to the window and glanced downstairs. People were entering the dance floor next door one after another. They would not enter the venue until everyone else had entered.

   She looked back at the others, not knowing what to do during this time, when there was a knock on the lounge door, the theater manager opened the door, talked in a low voice with the person at the door, and then looked at Georgiana.

   "Someone is looking for you, ma'am."

   "You can ask that person to come see me." Georgiana said bluntly.

   "He insisted on doing it." The manager said "There is something important."

   She looked at him suspiciously for a while, touched the bracelet with the wand hidden on her wrist, and then left the room, led by the attendant to a room not far away.

The attendant knocked on the door, but it was Constance who opened the door. Before she could be shocked, Constance let her in, and then he closed the door.

   Bonaparte, who was looking out the window, looked back at her.

   "You are beautiful tonight."

   "And you, what are you dressed in?" Georgiana looked at his "micro clothes", he looked like an accountant "I thought you had left Brussels."

   "The thoughts of mortals are always changing, and the strategies of our people are uncertain." He held his hat, "I'm leaving tonight, and I'm here to say goodbye to you."

   She didn't know what to say.

   "You don't say 'be careful all the way'?" he said in French with a Corsican accent.

   She walked over, pushed back his hair with the back of her hand, and looked into his ears.

   "I heard a story today, do you want to hear it?"

   "What did you say?"

"About Vermeer's "Girl with a Pearl Earring." She touched his earlobe. "The girl has a name. Her name is Greet. She was originally a maid of Vermeer's house. Those pearl earrings belonged to the mistress. of."

   "Why did the earring appear on her ear? She stole it?"

   "That's not the point." She smiled and said, "Greet didn't pierce her ears, guess who put it on for her?"

   He did not speak.

"It hurts," she said softly. "Even though Vermeer was careful, her tears flowed with the blood, but he didn't back away immediately. His hand ran across her cheek, wiping her tears away. "

   "What did he do?"

"Ear piercing." She laughed, loosening his ears, "I was thinking today, what jewelry should I give you, I can't give you a chain like a Bourbon noble wears a gem necklace to a dog. "

   "So you want to pierce my ears?" He touched his ears.

   "Would you like to wear it?"

   "Who pierced your ears?"

   She didn't answer.

   "Is he?" asked Bonaparte.

   "Vermeer had a wife at the time, she bore him five children, and Greet came into her house with her sixth..."

   "What are you trying to say to me?" he asked angrily.

   "Will you find other women when your wife is inconvenient?"

   He looked at her in confusion.

   "Don't forget the last witch in Switzerland, she was also a maid."

   He was even more confused.

   "Don't hit the maid," she said dryly.

   "You're not worried about my safety, but about this?" he said incredulously.

   "It's the way I care."

   He shook his head, looking unacceptable.

   "I will write to you." She patted him on the chest "Remember to write back."

   "That's not what I want!" he shouted angrily.

   "Isn't this the meaning of our separate actions? It's not that you are always worried that I can't do well, causing you to be distracted." She said silently, "I'm not the kind of crying."

   He looked very angry and ignored her.

   "We will meet again, didn't we say we will meet in Compiègne?" she said dryly.

   He simply gave up and kissed her.

   It's at least a little more romantic than her, albeit a cliché.
