Lucian was somewhat aware that something was wrong with Wade.
He rested on the sofa for a whole morning, then sat in front of the dressing table to fix his long hair. The system asked in his ear: "What's wrong with Wade?"
Lucian fixed his long hair and looked at himself in the mirror. He stared at the mottled marks below his collarbone and rubbed the red marks with his hands.
Vader needed him now more than ever.
"I don't know." He lazily answered the system without giving a detailed answer.
Lucian didn't hate the feeling of being needed or strongly demanded. On the contrary, he liked it very much.
There was a knock at the door from the waiter. Lucian stood up and opened the door to see.
"Your Majesty, please go to the study." said the waiter.
…
"The... wedding of the dark elf leader of the elves?" Lucian asked uncertainly as he sat in the study.
"Well, it's clear that the elves are not very happy about this 'wedding'." Wade sneered, "Although the light and dark elves are no longer fighting each other and have returned to being one tribe. But the resentment accumulated over decades or even centuries is not so easy to resolve."
"Oh..." Lucian said, "The leader of the dark elves is now..."
He thought for a moment and asked uncertainly, "Clyde?"
Lucian almost forgot—the current leader of the dark elves is Clyde, who is also...
The non-blood-related younger brother of the former light elf priest Beavis.
After remembering Beavis' name, Lucian blinked. Previously, he was busy with matters related to Wade, and now he finally squeezed out a little conscience from his lack of conscience. He said, "I remembered someone."
"Um?"
"Beavis," Lucian said, "I wonder how he is doing now... Don't look at me like that, Wade, I'm not planning on having an affair - this is just a concern between friends."
Wade finally retracted his gaze. He said, "Beavis... maybe you should care about him, or maybe you don't."
"Why not?" Lucian asked.
Wade: "Because the bride Clyde is going to marry is Beavis."
…
Clyde's wedding was prepared in a grand manner - perhaps because of the proper appearance of the actual regent of the elves, or perhaps out of revenge or a desire to show off. In addition to Wade, leaders of various tribes also received invitations.
Among them is the current queen of the undead, Lilith.
After becoming the Queen of the Undead, Lilith remained loyal to Vader. Before leaving for the Elves, she visited the capital. Due to the constitution of the Undead, she held an umbrella even on sunny days.
Lucian saw Lilith on his way to the charity school founded by Elizabeth. He asked the servant to stop the carriage and got out to talk to her.
"Lord Lucian." The woman with black hair and silver eyes saluted him.
"Is there anything special about this alley?" Lucian said.
"Nothing." Lilith said, "Just here..."
She lowered her eyes, smiled and said, "I met Arthur here."
Lucian could no longer remember the name. That person was an assassin of the Church of Light. He was hunted down and kidnapped by the Church of Light, and eventually died at the hands of Vader. Before he died, he asked Lilith if she wanted to kill him with her own hands. Only after killing their loved ones with their own hands can the undead no longer fear the sun.
But Lilith didn't.
"We first met here. On that day, someone brought a monster into the city and tried to trade it privately on the black market to make a profit - but the monster escaped and killed many people. I killed them here. Arthur was also here at the time." Lilith said in a flat tone, "Later, we met a few more times. One time it was a sunny day and I forgot to bring an umbrella..."
He saved her.
She paused and said, "Now that I think about it, he may have known my identity from the beginning."
“You should probably kill him,” Lucian said. “At least you’ll get something.”
Lilith looked at the sky from under her umbrella. The sunlight shone into her pupils, causing a slight pain.
"I never liked the sun," she said.
…
After saying goodbye to Lilith, Lucian returned to the carriage. After seeing Wade's expression and being grabbed by Wade's wrist, Lucian couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey." He leaned over Wade and smiled at him unscrupulously, "Why do you look like you want to lock me up by your side?"
"…Nothing." Vader did not answer.
He just let Lucian sit next to him, like a big cat who was determined to carve out a territory for himself and keep the other person as a pet. After a long time, he said, "Lucian."
"Um?"
"Next time you need to see someone, let me go down with you," he said.
“You’ll scare everyone away if you go down there… Okay.” Lucian said.
Wade held his hand, but he didn't show any joy because of his agreement. He looked at Lucian, his brows still furrowed.
"Are you too nervous, Wade?" Lucian said as the carriage drove to the charity school. "I feel like you've been acting a little strange lately."
"..." Wade said, "Am I weird?"
"Yes." Lucian said frankly, "I seem to be very nervous."
"No."
"I'm back, Wade. I'm back from the control center and from another world." Lucian lay on him softly and said, "What are you worried about? I won't..."
die.
Before he could utter the word, Vader lowered his head and blocked his lips with a kiss.
“…Don’t say that word.” The cold man said, “Don’t say that word.”
The air coming out of his throat was not smooth, but trembling slightly. Lucian didn't say anything, he closed his eyes and responded to the kiss.
“… You’re worrying about all that crap.” He said with a smile.
The carriage stopped under an apple tree, and Lucian and Wade got out of the carriage together. Elizabeth and Belinda were watching some girls in physical education class, and when they arrived, they turned around and greeted them warmly.
Wade did not interrupt Lucian and Elizabeth's reminiscing. He knew that he was not a popular person. He just stood on the other side of the apple tree where he could see Lucian, like a statue silently guarding his territory.
“… This is all just like a dream.” Elizabeth said to Lucian while sitting on the bench, “Your return is just like a dream, and so is our life now. Lucian, I swear I never thought that our lives would be so good.”
“I didn’t expect that either.” Lucian said, looking at the bright sunlight.
"At that time, the earthquake shook the mountains and the sky suddenly changed... I thought everything was over. The only thing I wanted to do at that time was to hug these children and keep them from getting hurt." Elizabeth said, "But now, everything is over."
The blonde girl smiled, her blue eyes bright and beautiful. The ice and blockage between her and Lucian were broken at that moment.
She looked at the innocent smiling faces of the children on the playground and added, "Look how young and small they are."
"Aren't you very young too?" Lucian couldn't help but smile.
"That's different. They are younger people. In this school, there will be more and more younger children." Elizabeth said seriously, "My life will grow, pass away, and end, but these generations of children will live with my ideals and the knowledge we teach. This is what I want to do now."
Lucian sat with her, quietly watching the children running in the sun. Elizabeth said, "Human life is really short... Are you and His Majesty going to the elves next?"
"Yes," Lucian said, "we will go to a wedding."
"That's great, elves, celestials, dragons, there will be many legends in your lives." Elizabeth smiled and said, "It's just like a brilliant romantic heroic biography, always going to more, more beautiful and more novel places. Lucian, I envy you for having such a wonderful life."
“Human life is so short by comparison,” she said. “But… it’s also beautiful.”
Lucian left the charity school before sunset and watched Elizabeth and Belinda disappear into the sunset.
Unlike them, these two girls are just ordinary people with ordinary lives, and have never participated in their stories as the main characters. But even so, they still have a brilliant brilliance in their ordinary lives.
Before going to sleep, Lucian said, "Life is indeed very short, Vader."
"… Um."
Wade lay beside him, holding his waist tightly with both hands, and there was something wrong in his voice. Lucian smiled and said, "What are you worried about? Aren't we very happy when we are together? Smile."
Vader said nothing.
Late at night, Lucian finally fell asleep. They had some absurd things until Lucian was too tired to bear it anymore. After re-entering this world from the control center, Vader had become somewhat "crazy" and unrestrained, but he would kiss Lucian hard every time he couldn't bear it anymore.
Wade woke up from his dream and opened his eyes.
He had been having a nightmare.
Perhaps because he had returned to this world, the memory of the control center had faded, and Wade always had an imaginary anxiety in his heart.
—Is the Lucian he is hugging now really Lucian, or is it his own fantasy
—Could Lucian have died and never come back
This anxiety made it difficult for him to let go of him. It made Wade unconsciously want to take more from Lucian. He wanted to suck the marrow out of Lucian and merge Lucian into his own body...
Vader closed his eyes, suppressing his increasingly crazy thoughts.
Lucian opened his eyes only after Wade closed them. He looked at Wade's face quietly, at his slightly furrowed brows, wondering what he was thinking.
—Ved's mental state seems to be a bit troublesome, he thought.
After all, this is the world where he died twice.
The two people in the daytime tacitly chose not to talk about everything that happened at night. The next day, they took a carriage to the elves' land to attend a wedding.
There were many guests invited to the wedding, and they even met an old friend there.
