Chapter 107 Chapter 107
Although Romemus would never have thought that Vespa would fall in love with Isildur in such a muddle, no matter how smart she was, she didn't take it very seriously.Vespa is rich in emotions, and can make up a vigorous and grand unrequited love by herself with just a look and a few words. In the past few years when Romimos knew her, she has probably fallen into it for four or five times. The longest one lasted a whole summer, and the shortest - Frosta's oolong - was just three days.
"Well, you don't want to really do what he says, and you don't want him to find out that you didn't do what he said." Romemos brought their questions back on track, "Then you try to avoid him from now on It’s not that difficult, right? You just need to avoid going to Romenna. As far as I know, because of Prince Anduini’s loyal stance, many nobles will deliberately avoid suspicion with their family unless there is something serious about it. Discuss that they are seldom invited to those balls otherwise."
"That's what you say," Vespa's voice was inaudible, "but I want to see him, even if it's just from a distance..."
Romemos was really trying not to roll his eyes: "Okay, okay. So what do you want?"
"I think it would be nice if he didn't recognize me when we meet next time," Vespa said. Actually listened to him."
"Will he be relieved to think that he has saved a young woman who has gone astray?" Romimos disagreed, "It's boring, but whatever you want. Since you have your own calculations, why do you come to me for advice?"
"I need your help, Luo Mi." Vespa begged, "Although I think so, it's too easy for him to expose me. If nothing else, I can't listen to him just saying something casually." Knowing the elf language, I immediately revealed the truth."
"I can't help you here, even I can't make someone instantly proficient in a language he doesn't know at all." Romimos said, "Besides, even if you can speak Elvish, Isildur can't help you." You may not be able to be blinded so easily, and he is not one of those idiots who can't even distinguish your voice from mine."
"Of course I know that Elven language is just the beginning. There are still many things I need to change in my manners, words of speech, and way of thinking. I have been trying to speak in a low voice like you recently. Listen to how I am practicing ..."
"No, just wait a moment." Don't tell me, Vespa, as a professional singer and actor, imitated it really well, but Romimos couldn't laugh it out, "First of all, I didn't deliberately lower Voice, that's what it is; secondly, Vespa, you don't need, and you can't perfectly copy yourself as me. Taking a step back, if you did, even Isildur wouldn't be able to see it The difference between you and me, what's the point? He won't have a liking for you, he will just hate you, just like he hates me. Look at you, it's like a madman , if it’s not the best, not only did you not become me, but you even forgot who you were.”
"Forget it, just forget it. What's the use of having her?" Vespa said infatuatedly, "Even being hated, at least it's better than being ignored. If I didn't pretend to be your identity, I would have been very happy in this life." Maybe you can't even speak a word with him, what else can a lowly singer expect from him besides sympathy and pity?"
Romemos was speechless.
"If you think so, what else can I say?" She said dryly, "But I really don't have the ability to turn you into a wizard in a few minutes. You'd better give up your absurd ideas as soon as possible."
Vespa wanted to say something more, but Romemus raised his hand involuntarily, indicating that this topic is over.
"I have another question for you." Romemus said, "Although Isildur and I have never been at loggerheads, he doesn't seem to be framing accidents that didn't happen without evidence. My man, why would he think that you—that is, me—disclosed the news to Mai Rong?"
Vespa opened his mouth, speechless.
"If you don't want to speak, I can only confront Isildur face to face."
"Don't! Please, Luo Mi, don't!" Vesper really became anxious immediately.
"Then tell me the truth." Romemos raised his chin, "May Rong asked you to scout for him?"
"You already know?" Vespa said aggrievedly, "Then you still ask me..."
Romemos snorted coldly.
It's not surprising that Sauron would see through her and Vesper's little trick. He would be surprised if he couldn't see through Romemus. Guess Sauron already sensed that something was wrong. Although Sauron did intend to cultivate Romemus in this way, but the other party is "mud can't support the wall", how could he suddenly change his sex overnight?
But Romemos did not expect that Sauron would avoid her and go directly to Vespa, but after thinking about it, it was completely reasonable. A mortal is much easier to handle.
"When did he find out it was wrong?" Romemus asked.
"About seven or eight months ago." Vespa lowered his head, feeling extremely guilty.
Romemos took a deep breath: "You keep contacting him behind my back like this? If I don't find out this time, I'm going to continue to hide it, right?"
"He, he won't let me tell you." Vespa said with a sad face, "He said that if I don't do what he tells you, or tell you about his meeting with me, he will tell you about our relationship." Tell His Majesty Falazon about the change of identity, if His Majesty knows that he has been fooled by a captive and a showgirl for so long, he will be furious, and I will be finished by then..."
"If the matter is really so serious, you should tell me even more." Romemos hated iron and steel, "If something happens at that time, I can help you figure out a solution, which is better than you being stupid enough to pin your hopes on In the mood of that fellow Sauron."
"Because Luo Mimi said at the beginning that no matter what happens, I have to solve it by myself..." Vespa wanted to speak hard, and when he saw Luomimos' face, he immediately accepted it, like an octopus. So he pestered her, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Romemos lifted her off him, and the love of human beings for physical contact really overwhelmed her: "This is the first time you have scouted for him?"
Vespa cautiously stretched out two fingers: "It's only the second time..."
"You were caught only the second time. I don't think you have any talent for being a spy. Don't do it as soon as possible." Romemos said, "To be more specific, what happened this time? How did you get the spy?" Has Isildur offended you?"
Vespa sniffled: "Have you heard about the change of Inspector Mittalma a while ago?"
Romimos has heard about this matter, although she has never been interested in these matters in the officialdom, but now she can't help herself, not to mention that this matter was talked about everywhere at the time, and she couldn't hear it with her sensitive hearing It is also difficult.
To put it simply, the former inspector of Mittarma was old and frail and ready to retire. As for his successor, according to the tradition of the Kingdom of Númenor, he should have been elected by the country's imperial council, but Farathon came to power. Later, in order to win the support of the nobles, this law was amended so that the official positions of the major consuls could be hereditary inherited by their eldest sons.
Amendil originally complained about this change, but this time he did not sing the opposite, because the eldest son of the former Ombudsman is young and promising, and has a sense of justice, even if the new Ombudsman is elected by everyone as before, Amen Dill is also likely to vote for him.
In addition, the quasi-new Inspector of Mittamarma also has a close personal relationship with Isildur. Although he does not believe in the Western Vala as devoutly as the faction of Prince Anduini, he still maintains a close relationship with the gods. Basic respect, full of affection for elves, and most importantly, in this court where most of the nobles had already had a heated fight with Sauron, he was one of the few people who still had doubts and vigilance towards this captive.
Speaking of Sauron, he has been doing well in the palace of Númenor these few years. Even Romimos, who never doubted that Sauron has the ability to achieve his goals, couldn't help but lament that his speed of gaining power was too fast. It was a bit too fast. At this time, it was less than three years since the two of them came to the Númenor Empire, and Sauron had already penetrated into the core of this country-the imperial council, and his status in it seemed to be Not too low.
In comparison, Romemos has had a much more embarrassing life these past few years.In terms of scheming, Romemos may be on par with Sauron, but in terms of political sense and win over people's hearts, Romemos is far behind Sauron, and even if she has that ability, the Númenor Empire will not allow it. Women other than the queen participated in politics, but Romimos' plan to win over Queen Miriel also failed.The queen is simply an ice cube, neither keen on attending ball parties nor showing the slightest interest in national affairs. It is said that one of the things she does most often is to stay in her room and pray alone.
Oh, pray, what's the use?When did those Valar who are far away in the sky answer the prayers of mankind?You might as well have a good talk with this real Maier standing in front of you.
Long story short, let’s talk about the new Inspector of Mittalma.There are two main functions of the Ombudsman of Númenor. One is to review the words and deeds of local officials, and if necessary, they can even suggest that incompetent people be kicked out of the imperial council; the other is to supervise and guide the moral trend of society and citizens.Undoubtedly, once the new Inspector officially takes office, Sauron's life will be much more difficult. In fact, almost everyone with a discerning eye can see that it is only a matter of time before the conflict between the two erupts.
If we must say that the new inspector has any fatal flaws, it is that he is too young to hold his breath, and it may be that the new inspector took office three times. In short, after only two months in office, this A young man confronted Sauron at a regular meeting of the Imperial Council in front of Farathon, and raised a series of questions.
Farathon didn't seem happy about this, because those words seemed to come from Amendil's mouth, but some of the questions really made him doubtful, so he acquiesced to this sudden questioning Attitude.
However, Sauron was calm, and no matter how tricky the questions were, he answered them perfectly. If it could be said that he was too old and cunning, after the young inspector had nothing to say, Sauron suddenly changed his tone, Turning from defense to offense, questioning the other party's targeting him in this way is actually avenging personal revenge.
"What enmity can you have with him?" Farason asked, "When did you offend him?"
"Your Majesty, since I came to the continent of Numenor, I have always been cautious in my words and deeds. I only want to be loyal to you. Of course, it is impossible to form a personal enmity with anyone." Sauron said slowly, "But in Middle-earth, we The hatred between the elves is well known. As far as I know, this lord is a hidden pro-elf faction, so it is not surprising that he is dissatisfied with me."
The young Inspector's face turned pale in an instant.
In the current Numenor Empire, especially the royal city of Armenelos, the topic of elves and Valar is like a high-voltage wire. Basically, whoever touches it will die. Pai, but everyone has seen Farazon's attitude towards Amendil in the past few years. Even if Amendil has been treated like this, the rest of them naturally needless to say.
"Do you have evidence?" Farason asked, frowning.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will not be empty-handed." Sauron bowed slightly, turned around and nodded to the attendants behind him, and took the bundles of scrolls he handed over with both hands, "Here are some articles about the history of elves. I found all the documents in the Inspector's study, and the handwriting on them can prove my words. If you search his residence carefully, Your Majesty, you will find more. Oh, and this letter , it seems that the Inspector is not alone."
"Did you give those things to Sauron?" Romimos asked.
Vespa nodded dejectedly: "When I attended the banquet before, I found a chance to strike up a conversation with a boy from his family. The boy got drunk after only two glasses of wine, and kept bragging to me about how knowledgeable his adults are. Can speak several languages, I said I didn't believe it, he was provoked by me and took me to the study secretly, I just took a few copies... Oh, and I glanced a few more times at the desk to prepare for the next step. Wing's proposal for impeachment, but that was really on the table..."
"Okay, stop talking." Romemos held his forehead with a toothache-like expression on his face.
No wonder Isildur was in a hurry with her. Vesper’s move not only directly ruined the young man’s political future, but also made an example of others. In the future, other people may wish to get rid of the relationship with the loyalists as clearly as possible, and this is still Far from the most serious consequences, Sauron gained Farathon's trust more and more after this incident, and the status of the members of the imperial council became more stable. Not only that, Farathon also appointed Sauron to take over the position of the young inspector!Let Sauron guide social morality?What a big joke!What's more, this means that Sauron has the power to decide whether the members of the imperial council will stay or not. If the opportunity is right, he may even remove Amendil directly from the imperial council.And the most exaggerated thing is that this matter has nothing to do with Romimos himself, but now I am afraid that Prince Anduini and the faction all think that this matter was done by her, and it is just a dream to talk about cooperation. .Romemos waited patiently for several years, and was kicked back to the starting line by Sauron.
But with Sauron's means, even if he could join forces with Prince Anduini, Romimos was really not sure that he could beat him.
"Why are you so stupid?" Romimus glared at Vesper, annoyed by her.
Vespa didn't dare to be stubborn when he was scolded this time. He lowered his head, bit his lip, and asked submissively with a look of a small doormat: "Then what shall we... do now?"
What can be done?Even Romimos is helpless now, she is helpless now, the queen will not take her fault, Isildur can't wait to bite her to death, and the card in her hand is only Vespa, and she was almost killed by Sauron. go along.
Romemos thought for a long time, and Vespa just stared at her eagerly.
Finally, Romimos let out a long sigh.
"No matter what happens in the future, you must tell me first." She said weakly.
"Definitely, definitely." Vespa nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "I will never do anything for Mai... Sauron again, I swear."
"No, if he asks you to do something again, come to me to discuss it first, and don't break your face with him directly, otherwise I won't be able to save you." Romemos warned her.
"Oh..." Vespa nodded tremblingly in response.
"And don't let him know that I already know that he asked you to do things for him." This was a bit convoluted, but Vespa understood.
"You mean, make me a double agent?" she asked.
"Can I trust you again?" Romimos asked back.Her gaze is so heartbreaking that even the most hard-hearted person can't help but grant her every request.
Vespa nodded hastily: "Of course, absolutely, I am 100% on your side, Luo Mi."
Romimos smiled at her, and at the same time secretly decided that he would never easily believe anything Vespa said.
"So what's our next step?" Vespa asked.
"Next plan?" Romimos shook his head, "There is no plan, we can only take one step at a time. Unless Sauron takes the initiative to find you, try to avoid getting too involved with him."
"Oh." Vespanene agreed, she hesitated several times before she finally couldn't hold back her words, "Luo Mi, that, can I ask you one more thing?"
This little girl really has a lot of things, Romimos slandered in his heart, but still hummed softly: "Let's listen to it."
If Vespa really asked her for something, then things would be easier to deal with. At least Romimos would not have to worry about her turning back to Sauron if she disagreed.
"It's about Elvish..."
Why is this happening again?Romemos had a big headache: "Didn't I say that I can't help you?"
"No, I'm not asking you to cast a spell so that I can understand Elvish or something." Vespa paused, "I mean, if I want to learn Elvish, can you teach me?"
Romemos paused for a moment, then raised his head to look at her: "You want to learn Elvish language? Learn that kind of learning from the most basic syllables bit by bit?"
"Yeah." Vesper nodded.
Romemos narrowed his eyes and looked at her.
Romemus turned his head away again.
"I don't have time to play with you, Vespa," she said.
Vespa froze for a moment: "I'm not playing."
Romemos was silent.
"Also, don't you always say you like people who love to learn new things?" Vespa said. "Aren't you happy that I'm willing to learn new things now? Or do you think I'm stupid?"
"When a person learns something new, either he is interested in it, or he needs to apply it, or it is simply because of their curiosity." Romimos didn't even lift his head, "But you want to learn What's the reason for Elvish? For a man? Love is probably the most uncertain thing in the world, how do I know how long your passion will last? Maybe a week? I don't want to waste it unless you mean it time."
"I'm serious." Vespa restrained his expression and assured Romimos seriously.
"Really?" Romimos seemed disapproving, "Even if one day you lose your enthusiasm for Isildur, even if the Elvish language is useless in Numenor, even if you find words and grammar boring and boring, You will never give up halfway?"
"I'm definitely going to stick with it," Vespa said.
"Very good." Romemos finally raised his eyes to look at her again, "Starting tomorrow, come to me every night after rehearsal,"
