Ozel couldn't understand the throbbing in his heart.
That might be called a good impression, a desire and possessiveness, or something else, but it is incredible that he would have such emotions, and the object is still a living person.
He was naturally indifferent, and he hardly ever had any positive emotions towards anyone. He only respected his adoptive father. Their relationship was thin and clear, unlike Ji Ning, who had a very complicated relationship.
Also "taboo".
Ozer realized that he had touched the edge of the taboo.
The person who made him feel good was his former enemy and now the king's younger brother. Even if the blood relationship was faked, it couldn't erase the fact that they were all male.
Once you take a step forward, it is a death penalty.
So it must not be allowed to develop.
Ozel admonished himself, and at the same time thought he was ridiculous.
He never knew that he was so eager for love, but there was a person who could accept everything about him, and he couldn't help but develop a dependence and affection for this person. This is really... ridiculous.
Time to stop.
before everything becomes irreversible.
However, Ozel soon discovered that this was not an easy task.
Although he stopped calling Ji Ning over privately recently, even if Ji Ning contacted him and expressed that he wanted to meet him, he would directly refuse him, but when he didn't know it, his eyes kept chasing Ji Ning's figure. , will also involuntarily care about all the news related to Ji Ning.
For example, now, Ozer knew that Ji Ning would have a command course later, so when he went to a certain classroom with other students, he subconsciously chose Ji Ning's only path, and he met him in the courtyard. Jining.
They were each surrounded by a group of people, walking towards each other.
In the academy, Ozel and Ji Ning would not take the initiative to greet each other, because everyone knew that their relationship was bad. After Ozel regained his status as a prince, Ji Ning no longer took the initiative to provoke them, and the two became strangers.
Due to the blood test, Concubine Chong was worried that Ji Ning's identity as a fake prince would be discovered, so she did not disclose in the academy that Ji Ning was also a prince. A nobleman offended the prince, but the prince kindly forgave him. Everyone praised him. Ozer's tolerance, in this regard, Ozer just smiles every time, because they don't know the truth at all.
Ozel was sitting in a wheelchair and saw the teenagers in the crowd. His face still maintained an elegant smile, but it seemed more real than before, and the lake green pupils also showed a gentle color.
However, the next moment, his smile condensed on his lips, watching Ji Ning pass him by, never looking at him.
Ozel's good mood disappeared in an instant, not because Ji Ning ignored him, they had deliberately faked such a relationship in the academy, but because of the strange girl next to Ji Ning.
The girl was extremely beautiful, wearing a beautiful dress, and her body was weak and slender. She looked at Ji Ning's face with a smile, her eyes were shy and gentle like water, and the affection she had for Ji Ning was self-evident.
And Ji Ning also smiled and walked side by side with the girl chatting and laughing. The two seemed to be a perfect match when they walked together.
Ozel's hand on the wheelchair suddenly tightened, and a layer of frost was condensed in his pupils.
"Your Highness, what are you looking at?"
A few noble children who accompanied Ozer saw him watching Ji Ning and his party leave, they were puzzled and asked softly.
"...I'm worried about classmate Ji Ning."
After a while, Ozer slowly let go of his hand, there were deep dents on the leather armrest, which was blocked by him calmly, still smiling calmly, and said gently: "He seems to have forgotten that the academy is forbidden to strangers. People come and go at will.”
No one had seen that strange and beautiful girl, and she was not wearing a school uniform. She was obviously not a member of the school. If she was brought in by Ji Ning, she would have violated the rules of the academy.
The rest of the people moved, they didn't think that this was just an excuse Ozer made to cover up his abnormal behavior. Instead, they wondered if the prince was implying that they were using this as a reason to rectify Ji Ning, and that they were planning all kinds of conspiracies. But I heard a girl say.
"I know that strange lady. She is the daughter of Archduke Feo, and she will enter our academy soon."
The girl said, "Duke Feo and Ji Ning have a good family relationship. This time, it's probably Ji Ning who took her through the admission procedures. It's not a violation of the rules."
"So she is the only daughter of Duke Feo's family?"
The others looked thoughtfully at the direction where Ji Ning and the girl disappeared: "Isn't that saying that she is very likely to become the fifth prince's concubine in the future? To marry such a beautiful woman is also the fifth prince's..."
"Boom-boom!"
A loud noise appeared in the courtyard without warning, and the street lamp beside them suddenly snapped and smashed to the ground.
Everyone was startled, scared and angry, and they all said they wanted to complain to the administrator of the courtyard. How could such a dangerous mistake occur.
"… "
Ozel clenched his whitish knuckles tightly, his eyes were deep and dark, and he tried his best to suppress the mental power on the verge of rioting, and said in a hoarse voice: "Get out of here."
He knew that Ji Ning was ranked fifth among the princes.
This means that the girl is likely to become his princess in the future.
…
In the middle of the night, Ji Ning was called to the secret meeting place by Ozer after a long absence.
Seeing Ozel, Ji Ning showed a very happy look, and called out with a smile, "Brother Wang."
"You seem to be having a good time lately?"
Contrary to him, Ozel was extremely indifferent, without the slightest smile on his face, and didn't even cast any glances at Ji Ning.
Seeing that his attitude was much colder than usual, Ji Ning was stunned. Not knowing what was going on, he became hesitant in walking towards him, and answered cautiously, "It's okay. Brother Wang, how are you? ?"
"I'm not too bad... very good."
Ozel raised the corners of his lips, but he didn't seem to be laughing, but instead showed the anger in his heart, looking cold and scary.
"But of course I don't have you." He continued, "I don't have a noble grand duke by my side. I'm always alone."
"… "
Ji Ning opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she held back.
Seeing his hesitant expression, Ozel smiled slightly, with sarcasm in his eyes: "What do you want to say? Is it to wish me to find such a beautiful wife in the future, or do I want to say that I should die alone, no Will someone accompany me?"
"… no!"
The teenager clasped his hands and retorted Ozer loudly, then lowered his head, his face flushed red, and he murmured in a low voice.
"I meant to say... If Brother Wang doesn't mind, I can accompany you."
Ozel's eyes instantly froze.
"You accompany me?" he said softly, "You said you wanted to accompany me?"
As if he heard something ridiculous, he kept laughing, his chest vibrated, his shoulders trembled slightly, and there was a shallow water light in his beautiful lake green eyes.
He said he wanted to accompany him, how should he accompany him? No matter how firm a vow is, how can it compare to a sacred engagement
What's more, how credible is this promise? The person he likes is him, but he can still laugh so happily beside other women, maybe one day he will lose his love and take back all the love given to him mercilessly.
He wouldn't be surprised if something like this happened in the future, but if he couldn't just love him forever, why should he start this relationship.
What does he take him to be
Dangerous and sharp mental power continued to emerge from Ozer's body. If Ji Ning was restrained from breathing by this huge dark force, her face became pale, and she was constantly sweating, and said intermittently, "Wang, brother Wang..."
Ozer suddenly woke up.
He kept his mental power and lowered his head abruptly, his falling blond hair covered his expression, he was silent and said nothing, only the weak and rapid breathing of Ji Ning could be heard.
He had always been reluctant to admit that he had any ridiculous feelings for Ji Ning.
But he knew that he was jealous just now, jealous that Ji Ning and the girl were so close, and they might even sign a marriage contract in the future.
He was almost overwhelmed by the jealousy in his heart, but Ji Ning's "Brother Wang" calmed him down again.
In any case, he should not forget that they are all royals, princes, and brothers in name. Once any unreasonable feelings are discovered, they will be executed immediately.
They have no future.
Marrying wives and having children, killing each other for the throne, one side wins, and the other sinks, that's the end they deserve.
"You go."
The blond prince raised his hand, covered his faintly hot eyes, and forced himself to stop looking at the boy.
"I will always keep your secrets for you, I won't tell you, you are free."
"We don't have to meet again in the future."
…
A whole year passed, and Ozel never met with Ji Ning in private.
They are in different departments and are located at the east and west ends of the college. The college has a vast area. If it is not deliberately searched, it is normal that they have not met for a month or two. What's more, Ozer also applied to live in the college dormitory and no longer enters the palace. Deliberately avoiding the most common routines, he and Ji Ning had only met three times in the academy over the course of a year.
Every encounter is deeply remembered by Ozer in his heart.
For the first time, Ji Ning's eyes turned red. He ignored his apparent relationship with Ozer and wanted to go forward to question him, but he was suppressed by Ozer's mental power, unable to move, and watched Ozer leave 's back.
The second time, Ji Ning didn't see Ozel, but walked with the girl who had already entered school. Ozel didn't say a word at the time. After returning, his mental power immediately rioted.
The power of the riot simulated Ji Ning's phantom. Ozel wanted to grab the phantom's throat, but he couldn't bear it. In the end, he just stared at the illusory shadow and stayed awake all night. He didn't fall asleep until the riot subsided.
For the third time, when Ji Ning was still with the girl, when he saw Ozer, his eyes were suddenly filled with light, but it quickly dimmed. He pretended not to see Ozer, and fled away in embarrassment. Forget to take care of the girls who are with you.
Ozer looked at the direction he left, and did not move for a long time.
That night, his mental power fell into a riot again, but this time the loss of control was quite calm. His mental power just transformed into a sad boy, with tears in his eyes, standing there and watching him quietly.
Looking at this illusory figure, Ozel unconsciously stretched out his hand and gently stroked the tears from the boy's eyes.
His mental power was not mature enough to simulate the real touch of his skin, as well as the wetness and coldness of his tears. He was fully awake and knew that these were all false shadows.
But he still couldn't help holding the boy's hand, let him lower his head, and kiss those cold lips lightly.
His heart is sinking.
And he is indulging in his own downfall.
…
As Archduke Feo's daughter and Ji Ning got closer and closer, some rumors began to spread in the academy. Many people believed that Ji Ning might be the fifth prince who hid his identity, otherwise the Archduke would not be able to let his daughter and Ji Ning Ning so close.
Finally one day, this rumor was completely confirmed - a royal news was broadcast nationwide, and the fifth prince, who had never appeared, finally appeared on the screen, appeared with the daughter of the grand duke, and announced the news of their upcoming engagement.
At that time, the academy also broadcast the news on the giant light screen. All the students were both surprised and excited, and they were talking about Ji Ning really being the fifth prince.
For a time, the academy was very lively, only Ozer was out of place, and his heart was icy cold.
Even though he had expected it, when he saw the dazzling news on the screen, he still couldn't accept it. The tyrannical mental power flowed out, causing the light curtain to quickly spread a huge crack, and the picture was damaged and blurred.
He was finally going to be completely abandoned.
The last love he had had was going to fade away like a beautiful but short-lived shooting star.
The light went out, darkness descended, and the endless darkness rushed towards him like a surging ocean current, and he almost drowned in this cold pain.
When he returned to his senses, he found that he had unknowingly returned to the palace, sitting in Ji Ning's palace. After a while, the boy appeared with a faint smile and asked his brother what was going on here.
"...Are you here to bless me?"
He said to Ozer softly, staring at Ozer with nostalgia, but he seemed to know that his eyes were very inappropriate, so he quickly lowered his head, avoided looking at him, and said, "thanks."
At this moment, all Ozer's persistence in this year was instantly shattered by this gaze.
A ray of spiritual power suddenly attacked Ji Ning and pushed him against the wall.
He couldn't control his body, he could only raise his head to reveal his red eyes, and watched Ozer slowly get up from the wheelchair in astonishment. Using invisible mental power as support, he walked in front of him step by step, pressing his hands ruthlessly. on his shoulder.
"break off an engagement."
Ozel said word by word: "Disengage the engagement with that woman immediately, or I will expose your identity."
"..." The young man opened his mouth, looking very flustered, and said incoherently, "No, Brother Wang... You clearly promised me at that time, you won't..."
"I regret it." Ozel pinched his shoulders, suppressing the dark feelings in his heart, and asked forbearance, "Or would you rather die than marry that woman?"
The boy shook his head with red eyes: "She was pointed to me by the father. If I propose to break the marriage, the father will be angry. Brother Wang, please, I can't..."
"Okay, it's okay," Ozel said. "I can kill that woman, and you don't have to ask for divorce."
"No!" The boy opened his eyes wide and said in a hurry, "You can't kill her, I will tell my father to break our engagement, I will go and say..."
He lowered his eyes, his expression was fragile, and his voice was a little choked. Seeing his pain, Ozel's heart also felt pains. He didn't expect that the young man would choose to break the engagement rather than hurt the woman.
Why
"Is the person you like really me?"
He couldn't help but ask the boy.
The boy's face suddenly turned pale.
The magic box buried in the deep place was finally quietly opened, revealing the most terrifying yet sweetest secret.
He likes Orzel.
He couldn't say a word, Ozel brought his lips to his ear, his breath was hot, and he said in a low voice: "Since you like me, why do you still protect her, why did you try to refuse this engagement in the first place? ?"
"She's a very nice girl, even though I don't have sex with her, I respect and appreciate her very much. She's someone I value very much, and..."
Ozel couldn't see the boy's expression, but he could hear the trembling in his voice.
"Like you... it's really painful."
"Shh-"
An invisible force spread through the palace instantly, sharp and sharp, quickly slashing the hard metal walls into deep cracks, the gorgeous furnishings were instantly crushed, and there was a roar of collapse.
"You think it's only you who suffers?"
Ozel laughed, but the lake green pupils condensed into a dark color, as if a cold undercurrent was surging.
In the mental power out of control, a new phantom emerged.
There were many figures of young girls in the air, each with a miserable expression, like a clay sculpture baked by flames, her beautiful face and snow-white skin were melting, and her flesh and blood turned into blood red muddy water and piled on the ground, leaving an empty space. After a while, the skeleton collapsed with a "whack", mixed with flesh and blood.
"Do you think she is in pain?"
Ozel squeezed the boy's jaw, forcing him to look at the horrific sight of purgatory.
"Every time I lose control, that's the pain I feel."
"I want you to understand that the pain you've caused me is far worse than it is, because I know you like me and I—"
also in love with you.
With anger and love in his heart, he kissed the boy's lips, his teeth pierced the delicate lips, and a faint bloody smell was scattered, which contrasted with the blood on the ground, so bitter and desperate.
How similar is it to their ending.
There is no light, no future, and finally fell into the abyss together.
…
The blond monarch embraced the phantom, his pale face already stained with tears.
Ji Ning was hugged by him, and his body was stiff. He didn't know how long Ozel's loss of control would last, and he didn't know when Ozel's mental state returned to normal after the loss of control was over. Facing the real him, what would happen to him? such a reaction.
When will the space disorder end...
He kept praying in his heart, maybe this time he finally had a rare chance of luck, connecting his consciousness in the future, and said to him: [The space has returned to normal, now you can open any door, you can go back to Gu Chen's world. 】
For Ji Ning at this moment, the voice of the future is like the sound of nature, but now he is still facing a problem, how can he get rid of Ozer's mental control
After a while, Ji Ning felt that her body suddenly loosened, and she was released from being controlled. This meant that Ozel's loss of control was about to end, and he was about to wake up.
Ji Ning could move now, but he knew very well that it didn't mean that he was out of Ozer's control, because the field of mind control was very large, unless he could return to the original space, he would never want to escape from the control.
He was still several meters away from the gate... Ji Ning looked back with difficulty, and estimated the time it took from escaping to opening the door. He couldn't help feeling a little hopeless.
Does he really want to go back by suicide
In the face of death, Ji Ning was still in awe. If it wasn't for the last resort, he really didn't want to use this method. All in all, he should try to push Ozel away first...
Ji Ning gently pushed Ozel's hands away. When he raised his head, he gave him a light smile, pretending to be a phantom, and turned away slowly.
He knew that the state of the phantom was not completely under Ozer's control, and it was not impossible that such a move would occur.
Auzel supported his forehead and stared at Ji Ning's back in a daze. The disturbing and oppressive aura in the bedroom gradually dissipated, and Auzel's sanity basically recovered.
Immediately, his pupils shrank suddenly, because he saw that the figure in front had not disappeared with the end of the runaway, but still existed.
That seemed to be... the real Ji Ning.
He suddenly recalled that Ji Ning he had just seen was more mature than the boy he remembered, but the out-of-control phantom couldn't simulate someone he had never seen before, even though he had imagined over and over what the boy would look like when he grew up , does not mean that the phantom can be simulated.
"you… "
The one who spoke before him was the mental power that he suddenly extended towards the back. His instinct made him want to leave the figure desperately, trying to figure out who he really was.
However, just as the mental power was about to touch Ji Ning, a dark figure suddenly emerged from Ji Ning's shadow, blocking Ozer's mental power back.
And Ji Ning, who didn't dare to look back, didn't know about it, he just pressed the door handle, opened the gap, quickly got out, and closed the door with a bang.
The starry sky restaurant appeared outside the door. Gu Chen sat on the seat. When he saw Ji Ning coming back, he smiled at him and said, "It's hard work, senior, are your clothes clean?"
…
Ozer drove the wheelchair to chase the door, pressed the handle with trembling fingers, and pushed the door open, but there was only darkness in front of him.
His mental power quickly spread outside the palace, trying to find the person just now, but no, no, nowhere, that person seems to have completely evaporated from here.
Ozer stopped his movements and sat in the palace for a long time, silent and deadly.
But after a while, he suddenly recalled that the moment the door opened, he caught a glimpse of an unfamiliar restaurant with a young man sitting in the seat, and turned his head upon hearing the sound.
It is impossible for this stranger to be simulated by his mental power, so at that moment, for some reason, this door may be connected to an unknown space, and it must be real.
As the monarch of the cosmic super empire, Ozer is no stranger to space jumping, and has even been applied in the field of interstellar routes to shorten the distance of the route.
Thinking that there might be such a possibility, Ozer immediately used his mental power to rub the faces of Ji Ning and the strange man on a piece of paper, and called the maid and handed the piece of paper out.
"Unleash all power, be sure to find this space and these two people."
