Lucian knew everything about Burton's strangeness. He followed the panicked servants through the long corridor and arrived at the palace where Wade was.
Outside the palace, Susanna looked pale. The arrogant witch covered her bloody shoulder and angrily said to the servants: "How dare you let the killer escape! I tell you, I will make the attacker and the forces behind him pay the price... and Witt! If you can't cure Witt, I will kill you!"
Lucian walked past her and into the palace. Eden followed him. Lucian asked, "How did Wade get hurt?"
"A magical arrow shot through the window and stabbed Lady Susanna in the head. That magic was set up an hour ago."
Lucian suddenly became angry for some reason. He smiled and said, "So it was Wade who blocked the arrow for her?"
"No." Eden said, "At that time, Lord Werther and Lady Susanna were discussing some matters. Lady Susanna's seat could get more sunlight, so they temporarily switched seats."
"I understand." Lucian said.
He drew aside the curtain and saw Wade sitting on the sofa in the room, with several hurried doctors standing beside him, panting.
Lucian shot a long arrow into Wade's chest. The arrow was embedded in it, very close to the heart. The two demon doctors were at a loss, they tried in vain to cast spells to stop the bleeding and resist the corrosive magic of the bow, but no one dared to step forward to pull it out.
Who knows if pulling out this arrow will hit your heart
"Who breaks in here at this time?!" A guard shouted when he heard someone coming in. After cleaning Lucian's face, he half-knelt down and said, "Lord Louis..."
"Who among you brought Lord Louis in? Don't you know it's bloody here..." the guard scolded others.
Behind him, the man with black hair and purple eyes looked through the crowd and met Lucian's gaze. Lucian's eyes were gloomy, and Wade's expression was also gloomy. Finally, the man raised his hand and knocked the guard unconscious with magic.
"Shut up." He said impatiently, sweat still dripping from his forehead. His action opened the wound again, causing more blood to flow out. Several doctors knelt on the ground in fear. Wade said, "And you, if you don't have the courage to treat me, get out."
"But this arrow..."
"Let him come over." Wade suddenly said, "I'll pull it out."
This statement was like a stone that caused a thousand waves. The others present were stunned. The leading doctor immediately retorted: "No, it's very difficult to pull it out smoothly..."
"Is this difficult for you, Louis?"
Wade did not say this to anyone. His eyes were only fixed on Lucian, and his voice was indifferent.
Lucian looked down at him, his eyes cold and gloomy.
"Get out." Wade said.
The rest of the doctors and guards left the room in fear. Finally, only Lucian and Wade were left in the room. Lucian walked towards Wade and half-knelt in front of Wade. Wade grinned and stretched out his bloody hand to hold his face.
"Dirty, don't touch me." Lucian said coldly.
Wade laughed while shaking his shoulders. He seemed extremely happy, and even the arrow in his chest was shaking. Lucian stood up, pressed his shoulders and said, "You are going to die..."
His cheek was cupped in Vader's hand.
Bloody hands.
The sticky blood stained Lucian's face. Lucian's pupils trembled violently, and then he heard Wade say, "You are angry, Lucian."
"… "
"You're worried about me."
"… "
"You are afraid of my death."
"... You are being sentimental." Lucian said, "Of course I know you won't die - even if this arrow really hits your heart, you will be able to crawl out of the pool of blood in an hour -"
"Help me to screw it, Lucian."
"… "
“Are you ordering me around?” Lucian frowned, his expression becoming more and more gloomy and unhappy.
"You can refuse."
"… I hate the multiple choice questions you give me."
Despite this, Lucian still sat beside Vader. He took a deep breath and reached out to hold the cold arrow.
On the other side of the arrow's tip was Vader's beating heart.
“… Do your hemostasis spell well.” Lucian said, “I know you have the ability to stop your bleeding. I don’t want to be splashed with blood.”
Lucian didn't say anything else. He exerted a little force, and the arrow was pulled out quickly, accurately, and fiercely!
Blood spurted out at that moment, most of it was sealed, but a small amount still splashed on Lucian's face. He asked Wade to seal his wound with magic, and then he suddenly laughed again.
Then, he suddenly grabbed Lucian's hand and asked him to put his hand on his wound!
Lucian felt as if he was about to be scalded. His pupils trembled, and he shrank his hands away from him, but his palms could not help but touch the sticky blood and the hot wound again.
"What are you crazy about!" Lucian finally suppressed his voice and screamed.
"You know, Lucian?" Wade said, "There was originally a scar at this location - I was reluctant to remove it, that scar -"
"The day you died, you tried to stab my heart with a dagger and left it in my chest."
Lucian: !!
"Now there is another scar that will cover it. There was an arrow stuck in this scar, but you stabbed it with your own hands." Wade laughed softly, "Tell me, is it interesting?"
"... You are really crazy." Lucian said.
Lucian could hardly stop his heart from beating. Wade continued, "In the past, I never understood why I had that scar. I told myself that I did it to commemorate my opponent—an interesting opponent, who was really rare. But now..."
"If I become the Demon King, will you be my queen? - Of course, if you refuse."
"You can also put this arrow back in."
This must be the most ridiculous proposal in the world, Lucian thought.
The proposal in the bed, and the proposal now. He stood here, holding the arrow that had just been pulled out of Vader's heart, both of them were covered in blood, as if they had just been in a life-and-death struggle.
But Wade proposed to him at this time.
Lucian closed his eyes and said, "You are cheating."
Vader stared at him closely.
At that moment, Lucian's heart seemed to be empty. Then, he heard his own voice: "Okay... I'll lose to you this time. By the way..."
"You had anticipated this assassination, right? Campbell originally wanted to shoot Susanna to provoke conflict between the two cities, and you deliberately let the arrow shoot into your body, right?"
"Yeah," Vader said, "sometimes I learn to be a little bad."
Lucian glanced at him, and Wade said, "For example, to deceive you."
"... I wasn't fooled by you." Lucian said, "I guessed it as soon as I came in."
Lucian lowered his eyes, but he could feel Vader's bloody fingers groping his face, his wine-red eyes, his straight nose, and his slightly open lips.
After a long time, he heard Wade's low voice: "That's great."
“… What’s so good?”
"It's great that you are standing in front of me now and are still alive," Wade said.
Lucian suddenly understood what he meant.
Vader was saying that the last time Lucian stabbed his chest with a dagger, all Vader got was Lucian's body.
I haven't had time to express my feelings, I haven't had time to think about my thoughts, and I haven't had time to settle any emotions.
What was Vader's mood at that time when he left the temple holding his body
With what mood did they keep him in the high tower
Vader at that time...did you ever think that he would come back alive
At that moment, Lucian suddenly felt like he couldn't breathe. Although he had agreed to the marriage proposal, he felt uneasy and his whole body suddenly became heavy. Looking at the arrow dripping with blood in his hand, the scene of that day seemed to appear in his eyes.
The black-haired, red-eyed knight held the blood-stained body of the Son of God in his arms. He walked outside the temple under the fearful gazes of everyone, and could only keep walking.
"... You have to be nice to me." He said this again unconsciously.
Wei De couldn't help laughing. He seemed a little embarrassed to look Lucian in the eye again. He lowered his head and said, "When do you think it would be a good time for us to hold the wedding?"
Lucian: “Ah?”
"It's just right. Let Susanna, Noah, Burton and more... guys come to our wedding." Wade said.
"I always feel that Susanna shouldn't be one of them." Lucian protested, "And I think you should heal your wounds first."
He threw the arrow on the ground and clapped his hands. The nervous doctors and guards filed in again. The arrow was taken out by Wade's confidant as evidence. Susannah's scream came from outside the door: "I recognize it. This is Campbell's magic mark. It was him who wanted to shoot me and cause a conflict between the two city-states. Damn Campbell!"
“… I want him to know the price of scheming against the Lord of Jealousy City!”
Lucian sat beside Wade and watched him quietly. Before Wade stood up, he placed his hand on the back of his hand and then held his five fingers.
Suddenly, he put his lips close to Lucian's ear.
"As you say, fiancé."
He said softly.
Lucian was stunned again. He had never seen Wade so unable to conceal his happiness.
Is it really that happy to be able to marry him
But he couldn't help but tighten his grip on Wade's fingers.
In the sunlight-lit room divided by window lattices, two people were quietly holding each other.
Outside the window, there was a figure, quietly staring into the window.
"… Number Four." A voice said in his mind, "Are you angry? Maybe you can complain to the control center when you get back."
"Control Center won't handle complaints like this," Burton said.
He quietly looked at the two people holding hands in the room. The system said to him again: "If you need, I can open the passage for you now."
"My passage can also take another player away with me, right?"
"In theory, that's right."
Burton took the two figures into his sight, and after a long moment, he smiled slightly.
“No need to do it so early,” he said. “Since it can be opened at any time, just postpone it for a month… or two months.”
"."
"Also, help me find the purchasing channels for the medicinal materials that No. 5 needs."
"Are you still planning to buy medicinal herbs for him?"
"Go check."
"."
Number Four's system didn't dare to act rashly. In the eyes of others, Number Four had always been a kind and gentle person. However, for Number Four's system, which knew him best, Number Four's decisions were often more difficult to change than those of the naughty Number Five or the overly spoiled Number One.
Number Four is a very stubborn person at heart.
When Burton left the windowsill, he saw a bunch of wine-red flowers growing on the balcony. He lowered his eyes, and at that moment he remembered that not long ago, when Lucian was coaxing him into recalling the "memories" they had shared, he pointed to the bunch of flowers and said that he had given him a bouquet of flowers.
He picked a few flowers with his fingers, smiled slightly, and finally crushed the petals in the palm of his hand.
Number Five never knew why he broke the rules and arrived in this world.
Eden, who was not far away, witnessed this scene.
'I always feel that Burton is a little strange,' he thought hesitantly.
…
The news that Witt, the Lord of Pride City, was assassinated by Campbell spread throughout the entire Demon Realm overnight, and this was inseparable from the instigation of Susanna, the Lord of Jealousy City.
Then, amidst this news that shocked the demons, the next week, the army of the City of Pride marched towards the demon king's city.
The old demon king's life ended with his death, but his descendants could not inherit his legend. The army marching towards the Demon King's City included the troops from the City of Pride, as well as the reinforcements from the City of Wrath and the City of Sloth, and the army of the Lord of the City of Jealousy who joined for love. The City of Lust just stood by and watched as usual. The alliance between the City of Greed and the City of Gluttony lost the initiative and could only beat their chests and stamp their feet.
Lucian and Burton were both in Wade's army.
Vader himself wore a set of black armor, and even customized a set of silver armor for Lucian.
