My Di Valentine’s face showed a sublime expression. She raised her hands to the sky and said, I have tried my best to be a filial daughter. I prayed to the Emperor. No, I prayed for my compassion or my tears. Well, she wiped away her tears and became very determined. She continued to say, I don’t want to die with regret. I would rather die in shame. You can live in Maximilian. I will always belong to you. When will you leave immediately? Tell me the order. I am ready.

Morrel had already taken a few steps when he turned around again. His face turned white with joy and he put his hands through the gap in the iron gate to Valentine.
Valentine, he said, dear Valentine, you don’t have to say that. Let me die. How can I force you? If we love each other, you told me to live out of kindness, didn’t you? Then I’d rather die.
True Valentine murmured that if he doesn’t care about me, who else in this world will care about me? Who else will comfort me when I am sad? In whose arms can my bloody heart rest? He will always be him. You are right, Maximilian. I am willing to go with you. I am willing to leave my parents and give up everything. Oh, I am an ungrateful person.
Valentine sobbed and cried, I am willing to give up everything, my dear old grandfather. Oh, I forgot him.
No, Maximilian said you wouldn’t separate him. You said Mr. Noirtier, I told him everything before you left, and he agreed. That means the emperor agreed. You decided to take him over as soon as we got married. We lived together. At that time, he was not a child, but two. You told me that he spoke, and he answered you. I will soon be able to speak that language. Valentine, I assure you that we are not desperate but happy in front of us.
Oh, look, Maximilian, look how important you are to me. You almost believe you, but what you say is crazy because my father will curse me. He has a heart of stone and will never forgive me. Now listen to me. Maximilian planned me to be sad or because of an accident. No matter what it is, will you wait to delay this marriage?
I can promise you if I want to, but you must also promise me that marriage will never come true, that is, you will refuse if you are brought before a judge or a priest.
The most sacred person in the world is my mother, and I swear to you in her name.
Then let’s wait, said Morrel.
Let’s wait. Valentine answered these words. Her nervousness relaxed the world. Many, many things can save us unfortunate people.
I believe Valentine Morel said that you would do well, but they didn’t. You begged your father, Madame Saint-Milan, to be firm and ask Mr. Franz to sign the engagement.
Then I will keep my promise, Morrel.
You’re not going to sign the contract
Come to you and let’s run away together, but from now on until then, we should not risk going against the emperor’s will. We should never meet again. We have not been discovered. This is a miracle. It is an act of God. We are caught by people and know that we meet like this. There is nothing we can do.
You’re right, Valentine, but how do I know?
Go to the notary, Mr. Di Sikang, and ask for information.
I know him.
I’ll find a way to tell you, too. Wait for my news, Maximilian. I hate this marriage as much as you do.
Thank you, my beloved Valentine. Thank you. That’s enough. I’ll come to this place as soon as I know that I’m going to sign the engagement. I can help you easily get over this wall. The carriage is waiting for us at the door. I’ll accompany you to my sister’s house. We’ll live there first or live in seclusion for a while, or we’ll continue to take part in activities as you like. We want our strength to resist oppression. We won’t be executed like sheep, begging for mercy.
Well, Valentine said, I also want to say something to you, Maximilian. I believe you will do a good job.
oh
How are you satisfied with your wife? The girl asked sadly.
My beloved Valentine said that it was too little.
But go ahead.
Valentine walked a little and put her lips almost to the iron gate, almost touching Morrel’s lips, because Morrel’s face was pressed against the cold and hard iron gate.
Goodbye, then goodbye. Valentine said to harden her heart and leave.
You will write to me.
be
Thank you, thank you, dear wife. Goodbye, Morrel threw a pure kiss. Valentine flew back along the way she came. Morrel kept hearing her clothes rubbing against the branches, and the footsteps disappeared. Then he looked up with an inexhaustible smile to thank the emperor for allowing him to be loved like this. Then he left. The young man went home and waited all night. The next day, he didn’t get any news. At about ten o’clock on the third morning, when he wanted to go to visit Mr. Di Sikang, a notary, the postman delivered a small letter. Jane: He knows it’s from Valentine. Although he hasn’t seen her handwriting before, there is no place for tears and prayers in that letter. Yesterday, I went to St. Lipu’s church for two hours. During those two hours, I prayed to the emperor from the depths of my soul, and the engagement ceremony was scheduled for nine o’clock tonight. I can keep a promise, one heart can be given to others, and that heart is yours. Then meet your fiancee Valentine Villefort and my poor grandmother at the back door at 9: 15 this evening. It’s getting worse. Yesterday, she had a fever. Today, she’s dizzy and she’s crazy. Morrel, you will treat me well. I forgot whether to sign an engagement with her so cruelly tonight. I think they are hiding it from Grandpa Noirtier.
