The young man she called William seemed to be a little different from usual. He was stunned for a few seconds before sighing with a smile.
"Yes Miss Taylor, I did go...far away."
Ella Taylor was a little confused, probably because she had just woken up not long ago, and she didn't know why she woke up so early today and happened to see her at the window.William didn't seem to live in the Richmond area, and the reactions of the servants were subtly different from usual.
She didn't care about these details, but was attracted by the other party's topic.
"I saw the recruitment advertisement of the East India Company in the newspaper. It is said that they are going to the North Pole to find the ruins of a certain ancient country?"
Common sense says that even a simple round trip to such a far away place would take two to three years if the journey goes smoothly.The appearance of Gracie Williams is completely illogical, but she is in a confused state and seems to have become a lot stupider without thinking about this problem at all.
Chapter 99 Dream Wedding
"Tell me about your trip. Is it cold in the North Pole? Are there really ancient ruins there?"
She remembered that when she first became friends with the other person, they were discussing ancient language and historical issues that others considered boring.
They chatted until late that day, forgetting the passage of time.
"The North Pole is indeed very cold. At that time, we..."
-
It was a very harmonious scene. The young man talked about what he had seen and heard during the journey, the friends he met and the wonderful sights at the end.And the girl was sitting on the sofa not far from him, just listening quietly.
"It was really dangerous. We encountered a big storm in the polar night. We found wooden houses left by the Dutch fleet in the Arctic 30 years ago, as well as some stone pillars carved with ancient languages."
When he talked about the wild beasts that attacked the camp, the ferocious pirates at sea, the terrible avalanches and the magical phenomena that could not be explained by science, Miss Taylor unconsciously clutched the hem of her skirt and felt nervous for him.
"There were many times when I thought I would never come back, never see you again."
"So, so..."
The young man's tone became a little strange, as if he was hesitant to say what he was thinking.
Noticing this change in the atmosphere, Ella Taylor seemed to realize something, and her face turned reddish.
She used those rare pink eyes to drown the eyes that were staring seriously at the other party, trying to get the answer she wanted from them.
"so?"
she urged.
"So, I can no longer deceive my heart, and I can no longer be cowardly and inferior!"
The young man's eyes did not dodge. After the two met, this was the first time he was so full of courage.
"I like you, Miss Ella Taylor! I have loved you since the first time I met, and I have confirmed this fact time and time again during those days at the North Pole. When I was in danger, I I will be afraid, feel regretful, and regret why I have kept my heart hidden all this time! If I die without being able to convey this heart to you, it will be something I will regret for the rest of my life!"
"Now that I have returned from that journey, and nothing can stand in my way, I want to take you as my wife, Miss Taylor. What do you think of me?"
That's exactly the answer Ella Taylor wanted.
"I promise...I love you too, William, I've waited so long for this day!"
-
The surrounding environment became blurry, and they seemed to have suddenly arrived at the church from the sofa in the reception room. Under the gaze of guests, relatives and friends, they walked hand in hand to the altar under the stained glass.
Ella Taylor looked at her fiancé's face in confusion.
What happened after that confession, or how long has it been?She always felt that the memory of this period was quite vague, and it seemed a little unreal. Miss Taylor vaguely felt that there was something disturbing but could not be expressed.
The happiness on her fiancé's face quickly dispelled her uneasiness. Yes, today is her wedding, a day worth remembering forever between the two of them.
This was as beautiful as a dream, a scene she had imagined countless times.
The girl wore a white veil and a wedding dress of the same color with a similar pattern. Her curves were like an elegant and beautiful swan, and her rosy cheeks reflected her moist skin.
The young man was wearing a black formal dress, every copper button was seamlessly stitched, his white shirt was ironed and the tie on his straight chest was inlaid with shiny round gemstones, all these made his temperament more mature and upright .
The priest who presided over the wedding seemed to be the bishop of St. Paul's Cathedral. He wore a solemn ceremonial crown and a holy white robe.
"Mr. Gracie Williams, will you take Miss Ella Taylor to be your wife, live with her according to the teachings of the Holy Scriptures, be one with her in the presence of God, love her, honor her, protect her, and be like her?" Do you love yourself the same. For richer or poorer, in sickness or in health, until death?"
"I am willing."
The young man gave the answer seriously and decisively.
"Miss Ella Taylor, would you marry Mr. Gracie Williams, live with him according to the teachings of the holy scriptures, be one with him before God, love him, honor him, comfort him, and be like Do you love yourself as much as you do, rich or poor, sick or healthy, until death?"
"I am willing."
The girl answered softly but firmly.
So the bishop blessed the couple with a solemn voice under the witness of God, and then looked at them with encouraging eyes:
"Now, you can exchange rings."
Ribbons and glittering silver foils fell all around, and the sky outside the church burst into colorful and gorgeous fireworks almost at the same time. At this moment, it seemed that people in the whole city were celebrating them.
There was applause among the guests, and their attire seemed a bit out of place compared with this place. There were Inuit hunters in thick animal skins, and there were whalers who only wore a vest with tattoos exposed. Veteran officers in military attire, elegant female scholars... They all smiled and applauded to celebrate, sending sincere blessings for trust.
These must have been William's friends, and Ella Taylor could not remember seeing any of these faces.
Among them was a man wearing a three-color embroidered long vest and with long silver hair tied behind his head, nodding at them with an indescribably complex expression.
When the atmosphere was the most enthusiastic, he turned around and left the church against the crowd, and the particularly lonely figure walked a few steps before disappearing into the lively crowd.
-
Norbord stood outside the window for a long time, and finally stretched out a finger and tapped on the glass lightly, and the veil-like light curtain swept across.
He used a dream to test the answer. Norbold used the memory fragments about the man as a template to restore the image of Gracie that he, the Williams family and Ira Taylor knew in the dream.And the scene in this dream is also the development of this girl's subconscious mind, and it is undoubtedly the future she hopes to see.
"In this way, it can be regarded as fulfilling your wish in a sense, Gracie."
The sleeping girl will forget everything about Gracie Williams when she wakes up, and will only occasionally remember a wedding in a dream, while the groom's face is a blank mist.
Norbold Hall let out a long sigh, and then his figure disappeared into the night.
-
Early morning is the most beautiful time of day when the temperature is right and the air is fresh.
Ella Taylor opened her eyes blankly, and there was still some kind of aftertaste of happiness in the dream, but no matter how she recalled it, there were only some vague contents.
She seems to have participated in her own wedding, but the appearance of the other party is shrouded in a thick fog.She vaguely felt that it should be someone she knew, but she still couldn't recall the specific identity.
"Am I actually looking forward to marriage at this age? If the other party isn't--no..."
She remembered that she should have a clear favorite type, but the words got stuck in her throat only halfway through.
The warm and moist feeling on her cheek made her confused.
"It's strange... what's wrong with me, why am I crying?"
Ella Taylor sat blankly on the bed for a few minutes, and suddenly——she vaguely heard someone calling her name.
Following her intuition and instinct, she just pushed open the door of the bedroom with bare feet, and ran towards the attic in a stumbling manner.She anxiously entered the small study in the attic, everything that happened before her eyes was so familiar, very close... as long as she was closer, she would be able to remember something.
Miss Taylor anxiously opened the window and looked towards the direction with the strongest sense of déjà vu.
There are cobbled streets between tall plane trees, the sun has not yet fully risen, and a layer of cool mist hangs on the paths along the river—other than that, there is nothing.
She looked around suspiciously, the window was filled with the smell of elderflower and lavender, and when the sky was still only dim, there was indeed no one on the gravel path.
She sat on the floor blankly, as if she had lost something important, and indescribable sadness filled her chest.
"Miss?"
The maid who noticed something unusual entered the study and couldn't help but start nagging.
"Go back miss, it's still cold, be careful of catching a cold...God, you don't even have socks on."
"No...I'm right here, I have to wait for someone."
"If I go back, he won't be able to find me."
Ella Taylor muttered to herself, stubbornly got up and looked out the window.
-
Ella Williams narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the scene in front of her.
Putting aside emotions and other things, Ella feels that she has vaguely understood a lot of things now.
"My current name should be taken from them, right."
Nobold was silent for a while, rarely answering this question.
Ella didn't expect him to answer, but continued to ask:
"Gracie Williams and Ella Taylor are just ordinary people, and they have not actually been married. Of course I will not be their daughter... But, Ella Taylor There is indeed something familiar to me.”
"So, my birth can't be said to have nothing to do with them. It's not just your commemoration out of regret, at least not entirely."
"What on earth am I? Answer me Nobold, now you don't need to keep hiding it anymore, right?"
Faced with Nobold's silence, Ella frowned.
"Forget it, even if you don't say it, I probably already guessed it."
"yes."
Norbird finally reacted, but his voice was extremely hoarse.
He became older again, his long silver hair became as dry as weeds, and the nasolabial folds on his face became deeper.He became a little hunched over and looked completely different from the high-spirited Magic Emperor 200 years ago.
The rotation of this world is indeed coming to an end.
"Then keep watching and be patient, because...this is the end."
Chapter 100 The Origin of Everything
Indeed, as Nobold said, the constant demise of this world can now be observed even with the naked eye.
Except for the city where they are located, the other areas are like soap bubbles inflated to the limit, the images are stretched and deformed, and the colors become bright and blurred.
They began to burst and flow down from above, exposing the black cracks outside the bubbles, but the people walking on the street did not react at all.
