"Mr. Pier."

Pier, who was busy with the experiment, raised his head.

"Suigra?" Pier frowned slightly: "How could it be you?"

"Yes, I'm here to deliver the potion I've completed today."

"Why isn't Isadora? Isn't it usually her?"

Gong Hao carefully observed Pier's reaction and could see that he felt an impatient deep in his heart.

Then he replied: "Princess Avril has been staying in Purgatory Island for nearly two months. She felt that she should go back, so she called Isadora back today."

"Is that so? That's a pity."

"Yes, Isadora is smart and beautiful, and very cute. I can't bear to leave her. When I think of her leaving, I feel like I have lost something."

Gong Hao's words were simply about Pier's mood, and he completely understood his thoughts.

Over the past month, this charming little goblin, full of temptation, has appeared in front of him several times almost every day.

She is so beautiful and fascinating that Pierre can't help but act in every move.

If it weren't for the Alchemy Tower, but at the Winlington Magic Academy, Pier might have raped and killed her long ago.

"When will they leave?" Pier asked Gong Hao.

"Three days later. In fact, I saw Isadora crying after getting the news."

"She cried?"

"Yes, she cried alone, and it can be seen that she was reluctant to leave this place. Sir, I think this is a bit strange. A maid has no reason to cry because she wants to leave Purgatory Island. In fact, I think she seems to have something abnormal recently."

"What are you referring to?"

"I think she might have fallen in love. You know, there are many outstanding teenagers on Purgatory Island. Especially the apprentices, they are smart, funny and knowledgeable. When Isadora didn't help me, she often mingled with other apprentices. Compared to the time they spent together, she spent the least time with me. I think she might have secretly fallen in love with someone."

"Is this possible?" Pier frowned, and a nameless anger rose in his heart. No, she is mine, how could she like others? Bastard!

Gong Hao continued: "When I left after the experiment last night, I noticed that she seemed to say something to see you in the jungle tomorrow night."

"You mean Isadora is secretly dating someone?"

"I think it's like this, sir. But I can't be sure, you know that I might have heard it wrong. And after I came out, she didn't say anything else, and I didn't see who she said to."

"But you can't deny that she's very likely to leave the castle to date someone tonight, right?"

"Yes, that's why I'm telling you about this. You know that achievement comes from hard work, and love is the most distracting thing for a person. If an apprentice has an affection with a girl, the consequence is that they will no longer work hard. I'm worried that if this continues, it will cause major mistakes in work or other adverse consequences."

"Your worries are correct, and alchemy does not allow distraction."

"Then if you agree, I hope I can go to the woods tonight, and I hope to know which apprentice was having a secret tryst there."

"No." Pier flatly refused, "This is not suitable, Glair. You should know that Isadora is the princess' maid. Once a secret tryst like this is discovered, it will not look good to the princess' face. This will affect the reputation of the royal family."

"Yes, you're right. I believe the princess won't like this kind of thing happening."

"Have you told anyone about this?"

"No, sir, I didn't tell anyone."

"Very good. From now on, don't ask about Isadora and that apprentice. After all, they will leave in three days. Let it go. I hope that the apprentice can restore its sanity and concentrate on its work."

"Yes, sir, then I'll step down first."

"Go." Pier waved his hand.

Looking at Gong Hao's back as he left, Pier's eyes exhaled anger and almost burned all the rational flames. Oh, Isadora, my love, how can you fool around with other men on my back?

No, I can't accept that something like this happens.

Tonight...yes tonight, I know what to do.

Very good, Shuiglair, thank you very much for the news, which gave me a god-given opportunity. That damn apprentice will be my scapegoat, Shuiglair will be my witness, but in order not to let the mentor discover all this, it seems that she cannot cut off her wonderful parts.

But no matter what, tonight will be an exciting night.

Yes, it's really exciting!

Pier closed his eyes.

In the princess' dormitory, Gong Hao continued to tell stories to Avril.

"The origin of the masquerade party has many sayings so far. There is a saying that winter is coming, spring is coming, and all kinds of evil and ghosts are going back to the deep mountains and forests and no longer harm the world. In order not to expose their identities, they leave quietly, so this kind of parade is held to send them off. There is another saying that comes from the upper class of the palace. In some countries, whenever there is a major celebration, the monarch will always dance happily in the palace with his ministers. Since the monarch is the supreme existence, the ministers will always be very careful when they are having fun with the monarchs, which makes the joy unable to be fully enjoyed."

"Yes, that's why I like being with you." Avril interrupted Gong Hao's speech and incited.

"So later a smart queen came up with a solution, which was to let the monarch and his ministers change their identity clothes together, and then everyone put on a mask. In this way, when they celebrate, because you can't see the other person's face clearly, you don't have to worry about being facing the monarch, which makes you unable to speak happily. Especially when the monarch would not intervene in the celebration at the beginning, but sneak in half the way. He would not reveal his identity to anyone, just to enjoy equal fun."

"Oh, it's a good way. No one knows when the one who dances with him may be his king. But my father is very fat. Even if he wears a mask, others can see him from his belly."

Gong Hao laughed: "Yes, this method does not have much effect. Many people have their own way of identifying who is their monarch. And even if the monarch is not there, they dare not speak loudly at will. Everyone is afraid that their words will be heard by a spy who may be right next to them. It cannot completely let the nobles' dance party go completely, but it has been passed down. Because among the people, this way of celebration is very interesting. Think about it, everyone walks to the street with masks, and you are not

Know who you will dance with, maybe the face under that mask is exactly what you have been waiting for for a long time, but it may also be what you hate. But in a situation where you don’t know anything, you let go of everything and laugh with all your heart. You can even go to the folk and listen to people’s comments about the country and the royal family. Since you wear a mask and no one knows who you are, you can hear a lot of truth. People open their hearts by covering up their appearance, which is the original meaning of the masquerade, at least that’s what I think.”

"It's really great. When I get back to Winlington, I'm going to let my father go through the fancy party celebration. Then I'll run out and be with the civilians and listen to them talk about the interesting things. Of course, everyone adds up to you, Shue."

"Do you like this idea?" Gong Hao asked her.

"Of course, I like it very much. I want to try it now."

"Oh, the costume dance can only be held at night. Under the bonfire, the two people wear masks, as if they are facing strangers. Then they will sit down and talk to each other, say anything they want to say without worrying about any consequences. They can chat while drinking delicious fruit wine, no one takes off their masks, and just communicate with their hearts... This is a very interesting experience. There are not necessarily many people who can try it."

"So, can we try it tonight?"

"I'm worried that your housekeepers and servants will stop you."

"We can come out secretly. Can you do it right? I like that feeling very much, just like last time you took me to the Alchemy Tower." Avril was very excited.

"Yes Avril." Gong Hao nodded: "Since you insist, I suggest you prepare a maid's costume before, and then I will prepare a mask for you. By the way, what kind of mask do you like?"

Avril thought about it for a while, and then affirmed: "You need the kind that looks very ferocious."

"Oh, no, Avril, that's not OK. You know that it's at night and it will scare others."

"Oh, no one will see it anyway."

"But I think it's better for you to wear a cute mask."

"Well, Xiuyi, I will wear whatever you like me."

"Then, I'm going back to make a mask for you first and I'll send it to you later."

"Yeah." Avril replied with his little neck shrank, covering his mouth and laughing secretly.

"I think this will be a very beautiful night." Gong Hao had a different meaning.

When evening arrived, Gong Hao brought Avril with a mask.

A cute little rabbit.

When it was late at night, Avril changed into a maid's costume, put on a rabbit mask, and then tiptoed out of the window next to it.

She jumped out of the window and fell into Gong Hao's arms.

There were originally warriors guarding the window, but Avril was transferred away in advance for the incredible reason that "you blocked my favorite moonlight". This made it easy to sneak out of the castle with Gong Hao and Avril.

As soon as he ran out of the castle, Avril couldn't help laughing and putting his back together: "Oh, Xiuyi, this is so interesting. We are like a couple having an affair. The days with you are so wonderful every day."

Gong Hao also smiled and said, "So do you want to be more fun?"

"You have something more fun?" Under the rabbit mask, Avril's big eyes shone.

"Of course." Gong Hao said: "There is a form of entertainment called drama, which is a beautiful art form. It was born among the people and has been passed down for centuries, making people miss it. There are many wonderful and moving stories in dramas. People will use these stories in their usual celebrations to make the costume party more exciting."

“Tell me what to do?”

"Do you remember the story of Romeo and Juliet that I told you?"

"Oh, that's a tragedy. Damn Xiu Yi, you cheated me of tears." Avril beat Gong Hao with his little fist, looking like a coquettish lover.

"Yes, a very classic tragedy. A loving couple cannot get together because of the background behind them. People sometimes light a bonfire at a costume dance, and then a pair of men and women will silently recite the dialogue between Romeo and Juliet by the bonfire, as if they were the protagonists of the tragedy. It was a very dedicated performance. Through this performance, they can experience the sweet taste of love and feel various feelings, including joy, sweetness, beauty, pain, sorrow and troubles... Do you want to try it?"

Avril was moved.

She nodded slightly.

Gong Hao took out a bottle of potion and gave it to her.

"Drink this," he said.

"What's this?"

"A phonics potion that temporarily makes your voice thicker and increases the infectiousness of your speech."

"Oh, you're always so dedicated and thoughtful."

Avril drank the potion.

Then she asked softly, "Which section do we come from?"

"The scene where the moon tells the heart and the scene where the life and death are the two most exciting plots. This is the script, and I will memorize it in a while. Oh, by the way, in these two paragraphs, we want to call each other's love name."

"Love name? You haven't told me before that they have a Love name."

"That was my negligence."

"So OK, Xiuyi, what should I call you?"

"Call me Ivo."

"Ivo? The name of that apprentice in the castle?"

"It's just a coincidence."

"So what is Juliet's love name?"

“Isa.”

"Oh, this is a coincidence. Isadora is also called Issa."
