Chapter 248: James is a good man

As soon as dinner was over, Elizabeth went to bed under the care of the maid.

It's only 7 o'clock, but from noon onwards, it's overcast, and at night, it's as cold as winter.

This is a very uncommon climate in the entire Caribbean.

The maid deliberately put red-hot charcoal into the copper soup woman, and used the heat of the soup woman to warm Elizabeth's bed.

"Miss, today is a terrible day." The maid was busy with her work while chatting with Elizabeth.

Elizabeth nodded, and said with palpitations: "Yes, I really didn't expect James to propose to me." ”

The maid was stunned, "I mean, you were hijacked by pirates. ”

"Huh? Oh! Elizabeth hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, that thing...... It's also scary. ”

But it's nowhere near as terrible as James' marriage proposal!

What to do?

To say yes or not to agree?

Elizabeth knew very well in her heart that he did not love James.

James...... is a good person, with status, status, wealth, power, and a dignified appearance.

However, Elizabeth just doesn't call James.

No one can force this kind of thing without calling.

Marrying a man who can't let himself call is undoubtedly a torture, and this torture will last a lifetime.

This is of course the most terrible thing!

As for pirate hijacking? Please, that was what she herself hinted at Xu Feng hijacking, otherwise how would Xu Feng and Captain Jack escape?

Xu Feng is not terrible, Xu Feng is her savior, she just hopes that Xu Feng is fine.

The maid bent down to help Elizabeth arrange the bedding, and at the same time asked very gossipily, "Miss, how are you going to respond to the brigadier general?" ”

"Uh......" Elizabeth had a headache at the thought of the question.

She didn't have feelings for James, but her father, Governor Swan, had feelings for James.

It would be nice to have his dad marry James.

Alas.

Elizabeth sighed, "James...... He's a good guy. ”

"Yes, the Commodore is really good, and every woman in Port Royal wants to marry him."

Seeing that Elizabeth did not speak, the maid smiled again and said, "Of course, that little blacksmith Will Turner is not bad, I noticed that the way he looks at you today is almost like a charm." ”

Elizabeth's face turned red, "Mary! Don't talk nonsense! ”

The maid hurriedly bowed down and said, "I'm sorry Miss, I'm talking too much, you are a golden branch and jade leaf, of course you don't look down on the little blacksmith." ”

Elizabeth opened her mouth, only to realize that she could not refute it.

If she said, of course I can see it, it would be tantamount to admitting that she has a place for Will in her heart.

At this sensitive juncture, any words she says will be misinterpreted.

In fact...... She really had a feeling for Will.

She hadn't seen Will for a long time, and when she saw Will's tall figure and dignified appearance today, she couldn't help but bump into the deer, and even had some difficulty breathing.

Of course, it's also possible that the new dress is too tight.

But in any case, if she had to choose aside her family interests and status, she would rather choose Will than the old-fashioned and macho James.

…… There is another option, which is Arthur......

Elizabeth hurriedly cleared her cluttered thoughts, and said to the maid in a cold voice: "Okay, you go down, I'm tired and I'm going to sleep." ”

The maid curtsied, "Yes, Miss, I wish you a good night." ”

When the lights went out, the maid withdrew.

Elizabeth held the Aztec coin in front of her heart, thinking about the last warning that Xu Feng had given her, and fell asleep in a daze.

In the dream, she dreamed of Will again......

At the same time, on the Sea Cliff Fortress.

Governor Swan and James, who had just had dinner, were wandering around the sea cliffs.

"How's the proposal going?"

This was Governor Swan's primary concern.

James paused for a moment and replied, "Ling Ai said she couldn't breathe. ”

"Aha!" Governor Swan said happily: "In my experience, she is very excited and excited! What's next? Did you kiss? Is the relationship confirmed? ”

James smiled wryly, "...... Then she fell off a cliff. ”

“……”

"So I thought about it about the cause and effect, and I think when she said [can't breathe], she wasn't describing her excitement, but she really couldn't breathe. The lady dress you bought her should be the culprit. ”

"......" Governor Swan said with an embarrassed face, "This, I really didn't expect it." Alas, my daughter, she has been used to it since she was a child, and when everyone else was learning aristocratic etiquette, she had to learn swordsmanship. ”

James said indifferently: "Girls just play casually, and after a while, there is no novelty, so she naturally gives up." ”

Governor Swan smiled wryly and said, "That's because you don't know Elizabeth well enough, she is too similar to her deceased mother...... Ahem, anyway, Elizabeth has just been frightened, I'm afraid I'm afraid that her mood is a little unstable, you can wait a little longer, and then propose again. ”

James nodded, "I will, I love Elizabeth, I'll find the right opportunity to propose to her again." ”

"How's the pirate thing?"

"I've been caught, I'm in jail, and my adjutant is working on the gallows overnight."

"Good." Governor Swan sighed, "Port Royal hasn't seen pirates for more than ten years, and I hope this hanging of pirates can serve as a warning to other pirates." Well? What is that? ”

Governor Swan squinted at the sea level in the distance.

He saw something coming this way, like a blackbird, but much faster than a blackbird.

James raised his eyes and exclaimed, "Danger! Lie down! ”

He threw Governor Swan to the ground.

Rumble!

The cannon shell landed three meters next to them, smashing a large hole in the fortified city defenses.

Immediately afterward, several more cannon shells exploded in the rest of the fortress!

The whole Port Royal suddenly sounded the alarm!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

The sailors, who were resting comfortably, ran towards the city defense gun position in a panic.

No sooner had a few soldiers run to a harbor cannon than a cannon shot at it and smashed directly into the powder pile.

Rumble!

Huge sparks lit up on the Sea Cliff Castle, the cannon was directly shattered, and the soldiers were also blown to pieces! The entire Sea Cliff Fortress is shaking violently!

“…… Here it comes. Xu Feng woke up from his sleep.

Captain Jack also rolled over and looked out at the sea level in the distance through the prison bars.

A big black ship with black sails is riding the wind and waves, firing cannons, and approaching Port Royal at high speed.

"Black Pearl ......" Jack swallowed hard, and the hand holding the iron window couldn't help but clench hard.
