Bright was wearing a dark cape and tapping his fingers on the table. His blond hair was still shining, but his expression was more cold than before.
A subordinate reported to him: "Your Highness, Wade and Aurora went to the second floor - the second floor is heavily guarded, we can't go down."
"Really?" Bright said, "Keep waiting. They will come downstairs eventually. If not, we can postpone the action."
"yes."
Just as his subordinate was about to leave, Bright asked, "And—did you find Gibran?"
"Still no trace of Gibran has been found." said the subordinate.
Bright's eyes darkened slightly.
Gibran disappeared from Twilight City in a month.
Mucheng called this National Day assassination operation against Wade "Operation Glorious", and Bright was the main person in charge of this operation. All those who could participate in this operation were the best in the Church, and Gibran was supposed to be one of them.
But in the end, this ascetic monk who had participated in the rescue of Bright was eliminated in the end.
This was due to Gibran's extreme hatred. Besides, there were also those unclear rumors about him and Lilith, the undead priestess of Vader. After Gibran returned to Dusk City, he was isolated to a certain extent because of this. Now, after learning that he was kicked out, he left Dusk City silently one night.
He intends to take revenge on Vader alone to prove his loyalty to the God of Light.
Gibran was an extremely powerful ascetic. After leaving a note explaining his purpose, he disappeared. Bright never knew what Gibran wanted to do, but he knew that he might have arrived in the capital. This man was always ruthless, and Bright could not guess his thoughts.
"… Never mind." After listening to the report, Bright frowned slightly and said, "I hope Gibran won't affect our plan."
"I don't think so." said the attendant.
"It'd be best tonight." Bright looked at the brightly lit banquet hall and murmured, "We must wash away the shame they have imposed on Ming! Has there been any news from the beastmen?"
Yes, the representative of the beast tribe is their ally and also the insider in the banquet hall. The attendant said: "The beast tribe said everything is normal, but the crown prince of the dragon tribe is not in the banquet hall now. Susanna of the demon tribe also went out just now."
"They don't matter," Bright said.
As he spoke, he stroked his shoulder with his hand.
There was a scar on his shoulder - a scar caused by a piece of broken porcelain.
Those were the marks Lucian left on his body.
The half-succubus Lucian sat on him, smashed the jar hard on his head, and then stabbed his chest with the broken porcelain pieces.
That was the last sight in his eyes of the Son of God whom he had sworn to protect.
The scar began to itch again. It always itched when he thought of Lucian.
"I look forward to meeting you." He whispered, "Lucian."
There was a twisted smile in his voice.
…
Lucian finally returned to his own body under the urging of the system, but he didn't expect to hear a voice coming from behind him as soon as he returned.
"Please wait a moment, Queen Vader."
Lucian: Oh no.
System: "Your mount is looking for you."
Standing behind Lucian was of course the Dragon Clan's Crown Prince Simon. He frowned and said, "We've met in the corridor before."
Lucian hesitated for a moment. Now that Wade had lifted the ban on him, he tightened his throat and said with his back to him, "Why are you looking for me? Did I knock off your jewelry? I'll make Wade pay you..."
"… "
The people behind him fell silent. Lucian felt that the crisis had been resolved and he could return home with peace of mind. Before he took a few steps forward, he heard Simon's voice.
"… We have known each other for half a year. Do you think that if you pinch your throat, I won't be able to hear your voice?"
Lucian: Oh no.
System: Oh no.
The corridor was very quiet, and Lucian turned around. Simon laughed as if to mock himself: "I have been looking for you for a year, and I have searched the entire demon world but still can't find you. It turns out that you have voluntarily become Wade's woman. No wonder I couldn't find you."
Lucian: "He's mocking me for wearing women's clothes."
system:…
"You can't blame me for this." Lucian said, "And you can be more open-minded when looking for someone in the future and not restrict gender."
Simon: …
In the moonlight, he heard Simon sigh softly, and finally, he heard Simon say, "You're going to throw the can down the drain, aren't you?"
Lucian had never heard Simon speak so... in such a humble and indifferent voice.
This doesn't make sense. In the past, when Simon was tricked into being his mount, he quarreled with him every day.
"Do you mind if we talk?" Simon said. "In the garden."
“Forget it.” Lucian said.
Lucian turned around and was about to leave, but Simon held his arm tenaciously. The dragons were very strong, and Lucian's skin immediately had red marks.
"Are you forced to stay with him, or do you really want to be with him?"
Lucian said nothing.
"Do you still remember the bet I made with you?" The moonlight shone on Simon's face, and he said calmly, "I said at that time that I am a dragon and I can take you anywhere... because I am a dragon."
"… "
"It still holds true today," he said, "as long as you want to fly."
The puppets around Lucian grabbed Simon's arms at that moment. Lucian turned around and said, "I..."
"Simon! Lu... Sylvia! You guys!!" Susanna's scream also rang out at this moment.
She was wearing a red dress and grabbed Simon, her eyes were full of fire: "What are you doing, Simon, how can you grab him..."
"Lu?" Simon smiled coldly when facing Susanna, with the arrogant attitude of the dragon clan. He raised the corners of his lips sarcastically and said, "Lu...?"
"Don't change the subject." Susanna knew she was exposed, but she was not panicked. She took the initiative and said, "I just saw you arguing with the human emperor and queen. I didn't expect that the crown prince of the dragon clan would have a hobby of committing adultery with other people's wives."
Simon sneered and said, "You think I don't know who he is? Don't pretend, Susanna."
Susanna was stunned for a moment and her face turned very bad.
"Well, I saw something was wrong with you two when we were on the battlefield. Master and mount, being affectionate, it's fun." Susannah taunted, "Why, now you want to speak up for your master?"
This is how accidents and chaos happened. The conflict between Lucian and Simon turned into a conflict between Susanna and Simon. Lucian shrugged and was about to turn around and leave when he saw two other people.
There were two people standing in the distance behind him.
Aurora and Vader.
Aurora didn't hear the conversation. She just looked a little embarrassed because she saw Queen Vader arguing with the Dragon Clan's Crown Prince. Vader's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it.
The black-haired emperor walked towards him.
Lucian: …
Somehow, he shuddered subconsciously.
"Come here, I'm Sylvia." Wade said.
Lucian walked towards him obediently.
Wade took him into his arms, and Lucian lay softly in his arms, continuing to act like he was being fucked. Seeing Wade coming, Simon and Susanna were also speechless.
Simon wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Wade had already bent down and kissed Lucian's forehead.
He gently patted the corner of Lucian's clothes on his wrist and said softly, "Don't let the dirty dust get on your clothes, dear."
Then he stroked Lucian's cheek and walked towards Simon.
He had black hair, red eyes, and a smile on his lips. Somehow, Simon felt that Wade was more dangerous and charming now than before. He didn't know that this was a gift from the blood of the siren, but he just watched Wade lower his head, with his bright red lips next to his ear.
"Where do you want to take him?" Wade said softly, "He can't go anywhere except to my side... He doesn't want to go anywhere."
At that moment, Simon felt like he was falling into an icy cave.
Wade let him go and patted his shoulder. Then he returned to Lucian, who was hanging his head and trembling slightly, and hugged him and left.
Wade took Lucian back to the basement. After entering the room, he carried Lucian to the bed.
Wade took off Lucian's mask and saw the wine-red eyes beneath the mask trembling slightly.
Trembling with water.
At that moment, Wade suddenly felt a strong pain.
The pain did not come from the body, nor from any wound, but from the look in Lucian's eyes.
He averted his eyes. Before he could speak, he heard Lucian's faint voice.
"sorry… "
"If you are angry, you can do whatever you want tonight..."
At that moment, the stinging sensation became even stronger.
Wade suddenly had the urge to tear himself apart. He thought he couldn't stay here any longer.
He suppressed the feeling and lowered his eyes.
He took off Lucian's sleeves and saw the bruises on his arms. Wade touched the scars with his hands, and at that moment, Lucian almost jumped up.
Wade held him down forcefully, injected his own magical power into him, and began to heal him.
Lucian looked up at him cautiously, with fear in his eyes. Wade whispered, "What are you afraid of?"
"You..." Lucian whispered, "Will you cut off my vagina? It has been touched by other men..."
Vader: …
"The best option is to cut off Simon." He sneered.
Lucian: “Oh.”
Wade became more and more anxious. He looked at Lucian, whose face was pale, and at that moment, he felt like he was going crazy.
Perhaps now was the time to kill Simon, and Susannah, too, he thought.
Lucian remained weak and pale. Finally, he whispered, "I, I didn't mean to..."
"… What's not intentional." Vader said.
He completed treatment.
"He was the first to find out my identity, I couldn't help it..." Lucian said in tears, "I didn't look for him on purpose, I..."
He looks really pitiful.
Vader: …
At that moment, all the pain was soothed.
"Really?" Wade suddenly laughed softly.
…Lucian is lying to him again, Vader thought.
He had already heard the entire conversation between Lucian and Simon - through the puppets serving Lucian.
He could fool Simon by pinching his throat... Lucian is so smart, how could he not know what a stupid idea this is
Lucian was lying to him again. He was deliberately showing his loyalty to him.
Wei De's eyes were stained with blood red again. At that moment, he wanted to crush Lucian again.
But what confused Wade was that after the sting was soothed and the ensuing anger of being deceived, he also felt a sense of relief.
—Lucian has not changed.
He can also be scheming, deceitful, and try every possible means to deceive him.
He is not well behaved.
But he...
Very angry and happy.
His laughter gradually became a little crazy. Lucian looked at him with confused eyes, as if he was frightened.
"I… "
"You like dragons, don't you?" Wade said softly.
The scarlet eyes turned into a fiery gold, and tiny dragon scales grew from his arms. Almost in an instant, Wade turned into a dragon. He stroked Lucian's cheek and said, "Look, how easy it is to get a dragon."
"Want to try it tonight?" Wade whispered, "You'll never..."
Fly out of my heart.
