…
After finishing the bath, the palace servants changed Lucian into a new silk nightgown. The nightgown was full of ruffles and lace. If it were normal, Lucian would definitely frown when he saw it.
But now he doesn't care about these things at all.
The palace servants who served Weide were much more meticulous—they dried Lucian's long silver hair and draped it loosely behind him, and then fumigated him with incense. Lucian didn't feel anything when the incense was fumigated, until those people began to apply a honey-like ointment on his arms, and then he finally felt a little tingling on his scalp.
These palace people lowered their heads and dared not look him in the eye, but even a fool could tell that they thought Lucian was someone related to Wade.
And Vader.
This name is the person Lucian least wants to see right now.
From the perspective of being a madman, Vader is really successful.
In the eyes of the palace people, this young man who was so beautiful that he did not look like a human was just sitting on a soft chair, motionless, with his long eyelashes drooping, like a puppet created by God.
it's beautiful.
He also had some instinctive reactions, but unfortunately he seemed unable to speak. Some of the more courageous palace servants secretly speculated about his race—although Lucian had pointed ears, he did not have the horns and tail that demons had. The palace servants were not knowledgeable enough to recognize the magic patterns on his body—perhaps they thought that it was tattooed by Wade because of some kind of tattoo fetish. Therefore, some palace servants even speculated whether he was an elf.
Some palace servants also thought he looked familiar, but Lucian's obvious non-human race made them stop thinking about it, and they dared not think about it too much.
After the decoration was completed, the palace servants found a...
Carved wheelchair.
When he saw the wheelchair, Lucian, who was originally deep in thought, rarely said "..." and relaxed a little.
Thanks to the craftsmen in the kingdom.
Lucian finally escaped the fate of being carried by others. He sat in a wheelchair and was pushed through the long corridor.
Finally, he was sent to...
Sent to...
A Gothic room with black and red as the main colors, which can only be described as extremely luxurious.
The room was very large. Lucian was keenly aware that there were no spells that carried a sense of "confinement" or "maintenance" like those in the tower. In addition, he also saw the huge balcony in the room - all these facilities told him that it would be easier to escape from this room than before.
The suite has a master bedroom with a huge bed, a small living room for guests, and a small room attached. In addition to the big bed, the master bedroom also has a long, large and soft sofa that can almost be used as a bed. There are several cushions and a velvet quilt on the sofa.
His living environment seemed to be much better than before.
The evening breeze blew open the white gauze curtains gently. Lucian was placed on the sofa by the palace servants, and he was a little confused about this.
But the palace servants said nothing.
Lucian had a bad feeling, and it came true when the visitor arrived.
Someone opened the door of the suite, and he hung his outer robe on the hanger. The palace servants who remained in the room bowed their heads and greeted him.
When he heard the familiar footsteps, Lucian felt his tailbone tingling.
Lucian: …
… That’s a little interesting, he thought.
He restrained himself, not letting his overreaction reveal any flaws.
"Your Majesty, the person has arrived." The leading female official whispered.
He heard Wade say "hmm", and then saw the fierce young man walk in.
Wei De also took a bath. Lucian thought that he should be touched by his act of letting him use the emperor's bath.
He laughed in his heart at the bad joke he came up with.
Wade changed into home-friendly clothes, but his temperament was still oppressive. He stared at Lucian, who was curled up on the sofa and seemed to be in a good mood.
The female officer asked, "Do we need to put him in the small room inside?"
The small room is located inside the master bedroom, and it is fully equipped. In many cases, it is where the emperor's lover who is in love with him stays temporarily. When the emperor needs her, she goes to the master bedroom, and when not, she stays in the small room. She is always available, which is quick and convenient.
Lucian: …
He had only heard of such a room in royal secrets, but he never thought that he would have to live in one one day.
What on earth was Vader thinking? Why did he want to place him... here
But it was fine to place it here. The emperor's room was a place with excellent lighting, and Wade would not stay in his bedroom 24 hours a day. In addition, he remembered that the emperor's study should be not far from the bedroom.
The probability of sneaking into Wade's study and finding the anklet blueprint while Wade is out of the palace has increased.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Lucian told himself. Since he couldn't predict Wade's madness, he could only try to keep himself calm under all Wade's actions.
As long as the ultimate goal can be achieved, the short-term danger is worth it.
But he didn't expect that Wade actually said, "No need."
Lucian: ?
"Let him sleep on this sofa," said Wade.
To be honest, the size and softness of this sofa in the master bedroom can indeed be used as a bed, but...
Would you let the body of your enemy and prisoner sleep on the sofa in your master bedroom
Would you like to wake up early in the morning and see him sleeping on the sofa next to you
Lucian: … …
He really didn't expect this unspeakable result.
And compared to Vader, he is now even more reluctant to be in the same room with Vader.
"Yes." The ladies-in-waiting and the attendants said respectfully without questioning.
They left the suite as quietly as they had come. Wade didn't like people staying by his side to serve him, and he hated the smell of strangers in the room even more. But there was a bell hanging at the head of his bed. If he pulled the ribbon, the servants outside would hear the bell and come in to serve him.
This was knowledge that Lucian learned later.
Now he was leaning on the sofa, staring at the painting on the wall in a daze. When Vader walked towards him, he shuddered physiologically - but fortunately, Vader didn't seem to be interested in him this time.
Wade sat on a chair in the master bedroom, stared at him for a while, then took out a book and began to flip through it.
Lucian: …
The cold feeling finally left his spine.
The way Vader looked at him was not filled with lust or the fanaticism of an admirer. It was a thoughtful look as if he was observing a work of art that belonged to him alone.
This look is far more frightening than admiration.
After Wade shifted his gaze to the book, Lucian quietly curled his legs inward a little.
Rather than being in the same room with Vader, he was more curious about the Duke of Rhine. Vader had killed the great nobleman, the Duke of Rhine, without saying a word - he thought Vader should take some time to deal with the aftermath.
But now he was reading a book here, as if the other person's life and death, and the possible reactions that would follow, were just insignificant insects to him.
But Vader does have the power to treat them like insects. After integrating the power of the God of the Dead, "Death", as long as he uses his divine power, he can issue orders of death, decay or disease to his enemies in the form of words. The human race's royal city is just his stronghold, and he is too lazy to bother dealing with those fat idiots.
After Lucian realized this, he felt a little numb curled up on the sofa. He was quietly changing his posture when he heard Wade's voice.
"You've caused so much trouble in just a few days. You're such a nuisance. From life to death, you've been causing trouble for others." Wade said nonchalantly, "From Bright to Rhine, you're really capable."
His voice was dark and low.
… Actually, there is also Calvin, Lucian thought to himself.
He didn't notice Calvin's expression when Wade took him away. Although he didn't use Calvin's move this time, Calvin might still be of some use to him later.
for example…
He tried to make Calvin and Wade kill each other, so that he could create chaos and have the opportunity to escape.
He thought about it briefly, but Wade didn't say anything else.
The only sound in the room was the sound of flipping pages. This rare silence gave Lucian a false sense of relief.
At night, there was a rustling sound of someone taking off clothes nearby, and Wade fell asleep. Wade threw the book on the table next to the sofa, and Lucian saw that it was a collection of poems.
Lucian also closed his eyes in the deep night. Suddenly, he remembered something.
In the past, Weide never liked to read poetry collections.
On the contrary, people who would sit on benches and read poetry books in the autumn afternoons in the sanctuary...
It's him.
He fell asleep in the deep night. In his dream, he saw the sanctuary after autumn again.
He was holding a book of poems, sitting on a stone bench, pretending to be bored. He knew that many people were watching him quietly not far away.
He enjoyed the attention.
Finally, he closed the book and found the person he was looking for in the sanctuary. Vader sat on the stone steps in a very secluded place, staring at the sky with indifferent eyes.
A few days ago, Vader won the duel at the cost of seriously injuring his opponent. This duel was initiated by his opponent who didn't accept him, but he never expected that Vader, after bleeding, looked like a devil. He almost killed his opponent, and he still had a treacherous smile on his face when he was pulled away.
Those people were afraid of him and isolated him.
Vader did not speak, nor did Lucian. Lucian, in a white robe, stood in the distance, watching him quietly.
'What a stinky face,' he thought.
Finally, he waved his fingers and let a sycamore leaf fall on Wade's face. When Wade grabbed the leaf irritably, he smiled mischievously and disappeared silently.
This dream also made him smile involuntarily. But he didn't know that in the middle of the night, there was also a pair of eyes watching him.
The owner of the eyes looked at him in his sleep, as if looking at some kind of life he had never known.
Finally, the owner of the eyes returned to the bed. At this time, Lucian also opened his eyes in a cold sweat.
