Wanli Xinming

Chapter 391
On June 15, the 21th year of Wanli, Wang Jingyi ate the first filet mignon in her life.The juicy and tender taste made her feel as if she was caught in a cloud, and she smiled more flatteringly at Cologne.

After realizing the feeling of the beautiful girl's complete surrender to him, the chief prosecutor gave up the idea of ​​"getting rid of" her - like all the girls he had dealt with before, the so-called getting rid of it meant killing or throwing it out of the city.

Maybe she can become a good apricot slave. Cologne looked at her admiring his eyes and felt that this beautiful girl was the biggest gain for him to come to Manila.He then arranged for the servant to find her a Spanish tutor and named him Blanca. 【Note 1】

On June 29, Blanca, who had finished her Spanish class, played a game of "no, sir" with Colon for a while.Later, because of Father Lopez's late-night visit, Colon sent her out of the bedroom.

"I have told the housekeeper, you can walk around, but, you can't, leave, home." Looking at Blanca's clear and confused eyes, Cologne felt that although she said it simply and added gestures, she still didn't listen. Understood—but he had no intention of explaining, just waved her away.

Blanca went out while tidying up her skirt, the smile on her face did not diminish by half.In front of her small room at the end of the corridor on the first floor, she met a servant who happened to come down from the upper floor, the same native who had followed Cologne that night with a lantern.

Blanca bent her knees slightly, smiled and said, "Buenas noches!"

The native remained silent.There was no expression on his face, he just quietly bypassed her, pushed open the small door at the end of the corridor, and left the huge two-story building.

Blanca stopped silently, she thought for a while, and tried to push the normally locked door.The door opened and she entered the garden.At this time, there was a sound of the door opening in the distance, and the guests, led by the housekeeper, entered through the main entrance of the house.

Because the Daming Ship Blocking Fleet's attack on Manila had stopped for a long time, the sound of the chaos outside the high wall disappeared, and the entire city fell into silence at night.

She looked up at the starry sky and the bright Milky Way, and an imperceptible whimper escaped from her throat.

Blanca stood quietly, breathing the fragrance of the flowers in the garden.The stone house is located in the middle of the garden, slanting through the garden from her position, and at the end of the stone road is the iron gate that can give her freedom, but Blanca's feet seem to be nailed to the ground, motionless.

After a long time, the main door of the house opened, and Cologne sent out Father Lopez.No one noticed Blanca standing in the corner of the garden.

After a long time, the lights in the house went out.Blanca quietly took off her shoes and held them in her hands, slowly moving towards the corner of the house.Her movements were so slight that even the midsummer breeze was hard to detect.

As soon as she turned the corner, she suddenly held her breath, too frightened to move.She saw a wooden ladder beside the high wall at the back of the room, and a person was climbing up the ladder, and she saw that the figure was the native servant of Cologne.

She took a slow, slow breath.Turn around and walk away.

Blanca's governess was the wife of a Spanish city defense officer named Felicia.With her alcoholic and gambler husband squandering his army salaries, Felicia has to work part-time to support her family.Because she often went to the north bank of the Passi River to buy cheap goods, she learned some simple Quanzhou dialect, just in time to train Blanca.

This ugly middle-aged woman likes this half-breed very much.Because Blanca was always smiling and she was about the same age as her daughter.

These days, she has noticed the unspeakable relationship between Cologne and Blanca.Cologne hired her in the name of the professor's righteous daughter, but Blanca and Cologne were clearly not father-daughter.

But the Colonel Attorney General has no family in the Philippines, and it's normal to have a teenage girl who warms the bed -- that's what all the high-ranking people in the city with no family do.

Although Blanca was too young as a mistress, Felicia couldn't do much except sympathize with her and take care of her as much as she could.

The next day, Blanca kept asking a lot of questions around Felicia, and Felicia was exhausted by her entanglement.In the evening, when Mr. Cologne came home, the governess went to his room to rest almost as if running for his life.

After having dinner with the Attorney General of Cologne, Blanca heard Cologne say a lot to the butler—she really didn't understand this time.Immediately, the housekeeper accompanied Cologne to the study and motioned her to go back to rest.

Blanca returned to her room with a flattering smile still on her face.She tried her best to open her sleepy eyes and waited quietly.

But it started raining in the middle of the night in Manila when the rainy season entered, and in the rustling voice, she who was still growing did not defeat the Sandman, and she fell asleep at some point.

Later in the night, a loud noise woke Blanca.She sat up abruptly from the bed and slammed her still drowsy head with some annoyance.

First, the whole house was in commotion, and there were people running in the hallway.Blanca's ears perked up, as if to hear the Cologne Prosecutor leave the mansion.

Although no one paid attention to him at this time, Blanca did not dare to go out of the room, so she could only light the whale oil candle and wait quietly.

When it was dawn, the whole city was in commotion.When she was at a loss, her door was slammed open, and Felicia, who was disheveled, rushed in.

"God! Get out of here! The Sirians have entered the city!" A shudder of happiness rushed into his body and mind, and Blanca stood up suddenly and asked, "What did you say?"

"Stop talking, come with me." The governess looked around, as if looking for something valuable. "There is no one in the whole house, and they all ran away!"

"." The girl was about to speak when suddenly a nightmarish cry came, "Blanca!! Blanca!!!"

It was the voice of the Prosecutor General of Cologne.Blanca twisted around and pulled out a knife she had stolen from the kitchen from under the mattress.Felicia looked at her in horror and asked, "What are you doing?"

In the sound of the neighing of the whole block, Blanca could still clearly hear the clutter of footsteps on the floor.She pushed Felicia away and yanked the door open.

The Prosecutor of Cologne, followed by the native servants, was running towards him from the other side of the corridor. "Quick! Get out of here with me!"

Felicia rushed out of the room in surprise, "Mr. Cologne, Philip of my family—" Before she could finish her question, she saw a scene that she will never forget:
The native servant with the whale oil lamp raised a long dagger behind the Attorney General of Cologne and stabbed him in the back.

Cologne let out a scream, turned around and scuffled with the native.At this time, Blanca quickly stepped forward, and in the sound of Cologne's curse, he used all his strength to stab Cologne's back waist with the knife in his hand.

The whale oil lamp shattered on the ground, and blue flames ignited on the floor.Cologne was hit twice in a row and staggered to the ground.The expressionless native stabbed him several times in the chest.

Colón looked at Blanca with a self-deprecating smile on his face.He opened his mouth to say something, but only spit out a pile of blood.Seeing that he lost his ability to resist, the native walked towards Felicia, who was so frightened that he lost his ability to move.

Felicia uttered a few syllables in a hoarse voice: "Please! Please! God."

　Note 1: Blanca means pure in Spanish.
