Vol.7

Fleche was sipping red wine in the tavern. There were many men & women in the alcoholic place relishing their night shift. Young noblemen were wasting their valuable time , money and the energy on rich courtesan. Young courtesans were stroking young men's hair, massaging legs hands shoulders, rubbing chest while they were sipping alcohol. Those young men murmuring obscene lustful poem to appreciate the beauty of them sex workers.

"You know young master, young masters from HongZheZhu look so handsome"

A one courtesan said she was appreciating Hongs while flirting with young masters made Fleche so disgusted, he stood up from the stool which he seated on, he put two bronze coins on the table while snatching a jar of grapes wine, he walked away from the tavern while sipping the alcohol. He made his way to the strawberry pavilion.

The door of the pavilion was opened, he kept the jar outside, he was quite intoxicated due to the liquor, he had never met a girl before in this way. When he entered the room, he saw a quite tall figure with long hair wearing a robe under the candle light, the whole environment was a surprise for him, even the darkness swamped the room, it was unblemished that the view of the figure would drag him to a temptation

"Finally, you listened to me, you accepted invitation"

He sauntered slight closer to the charming figure, he was staring lecherously at the waist and hip, he quite disappointed because even he can admit that waist was so thin and hip was wide, it wasn't wider enough as he anticipated to be.

"Pretty! I thought you would be more attractive tonight, I want to see your arch waist that's more curved than the bridge of sovereign palace,"

He was staring the butt of the figure, without knowing reason, he liked the shape of the butt of the figure. He sauntered closer. He was thinking to slap that butt. He managed himself refrain from what his drunken brain required him to commit. He was only staring without forwarding himself to commit a crime

"Splendid girl, your pear fruit alike body is going to seduce me to death, your peach alike butt tingling my pair of cherry hidden inside my undergarment, they are crying for make a cherry wine to spill it into your inside"

His words reflected about the onanism he engaged frequently in the backyard of his chateau furtively to his family members. He couldn't control himself more. He sauntered closer hugged the figure in the back. As much he wished the hug wasn't delicate even it was the first time, he hugged someone than his family members, he wanted a mild romantic embrace, it was a rigid nonetheless, he perceived like he was hugging a tremendous tree. He leant to the person's ear he blew a breath, he slowly murmured to ear the other person might've realized he was drunk.

"I wished that HongZheZhu women were sweeter than marshmallows, why do I feel like I'm hugging a rock"

He was shoved away once the other person moved a push on him. The figure strolled away and sat on the couch was situated in quite dull place. Fleche forwarded himself to approach to the figure. He crotched down and sat on the ground closer to the legs of another person. He kept his hand on the other person's thigh. He kneaded his palm on that thigh

"Pretty lady, your thighs are softer than opal stone, I want to make this as my pillow where I can rest well, I want to smell the fragrance of your cherry blossom nipples, your two pair of oyster shell alike bosom will to an ecstatic firmament, I want to fill your cave entrance with the lustful cherry whine with the help of my magic stick I can feel the sentiment of cave inside"

He sluggishly drove his hand down in the leg of other. He lifted up the robe a little up to the thigh to get the view of other's bare leg. He kept the other's leg on his lap. He begun to feel up and down other's leg erotically. The lust made awaken his inner lewd devil. When he was fondling other's leg, he got a sense of weirdness. The leg was so furry even it was slim and slender. It seemed like the other person had high level of leg's hair.

"Huh! What is this? You know a girl must have a clean leg, not like a grassland"

He brought out the black bead anklet from his pocket. He tied it on other's leg symbolizing he proposed other to be his. "I want to see you in my bed everyday" once he twaddled it, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. He held his abdomen while squirming in the ground. The figure approached to him crouched down aside him, he received a punch on his face which made him whimpered for the reason that the punch was unbearable, he wasn't a moron not to realize that wasn't a fist of a woman simultaneously he witnessed the blurred vision of the person. Thick eye brows, wider small eyes, sharp jawline, Adam's apple, he posed a mouth agape

Hong Guibao pulled the beaten man by his collars, he gave him a disgusted look, he slapped his face twice and punched to collapse on the ground. Fleche was too much drunk to understand what transpired the time before, his face was swollen with bruises and his lips torn to bleed. He lost his consciousness.

Flashback

Hong Guibao was invited by noblewoman Valentia Beltz, once he arrived there, he could see, she has arranged him dinner on the woodened polished expensive table. He put his sword aside, bowing toward her greeting her. She smiled at her, she greeted him back

"Young Scholar Hong! It's a delightful to have a conversation with you while having some meals"

She uttered with pulling a chair for him "Please have a seat, I appreciate young scholar Hong since accepted my invitation"

"Thank You madam" Hong Guibao stated while sitting on the seat that was arranged by her. He sipped some water that served by the maiden

"Have some meal" Madam Beltz extended her hand to the various cuisines in the table suggesting him to have some of them.

"I'm not hungry but thank you madam Beltz" he said in a denial of food because it wasn't the time to have food. He directly looked at Madam Beltz. "What can I do for Madam Beltz?" he directly jumped to the question while he was able to see tears in her eyes. He felt so bad the sentiment was like his mother was crying in front of him which he hated to see most in his life

"You may know my son Fleche Noir" she emitted the words pushing the young man into a disbelief, he knew the person who attacked him once he was heading to there was Fleche Noir, thing made him confused why his mother invited to talk to him.

"I know" he gave a simple answer while looking down in bewilderment. She came closer to her held his hand; he didn't care since she wasn't second to his own mother. Her eyes were like she was begging him to save her son

"Young Scholar Hong! My son is 18 years old, still he can't read or write, he only loves metal crafting, nothing else, but this is a major problem since he was the hair of our kinfolk, only son I have since my daughter is going to marry next year"

She stopped a bit looking down in upset, because she was shy that her son's illiteracy got know by an exotic person. She has heard that theses scholars were so talented to guide. They have learnt 100 subjects by the age of 20, the reason behind she invited him sought a help was what she heard about the scholars. "there was no any professor who could help my child" she stated while holding her tears

Hong Guibao wondered after what he just listened. He experienced the talented, lewd and patriot side of him. he knew that he wasn't a that moron only the young man had a bad temperament with obstinate behaviors. Hong Guibao was only four years older than him, he wanted to know the reason why he can't write or read when he was from noble gentry that provide him best education than the amount he needed.

"Are there any books he used to learn alphabet, letter or something?" he asked from Madam Beltz.

Madam Beltz smiled with nodding "Yes"

Hong Guibao sighed while turning his head down, he back looked at the noblewoman directly. "Can I see them?"
