The old friend was Simon. The arrogant young dragon prince had now grown into a mature and steady young man. After seeing the two people, he was stunned and greeted them politely and courteously.
"Good morning, Simon." Lucian smiled at him first, "It's a perfect wedding, isn't it?"
“… Yeah.” Simon said, “Long time no see, Lucian… Long time no see, Vader.”
Wade dragged Lucian forward. After Lucian was a little away from him, he couldn't help but laugh and mocked him: "Why are you so nervous?"
"... Don't think I don't know that person likes you." Wade snorted coldly.
Lucian: "But I only like you."
Wade's ears were slightly red. Lucian knew from his expression that this big black-haired, red-eyed cat, whose fur had been rising from time to time since returning to this world, had finally been coaxed back into good shape. They found a seat in the hall with the help of the waiter. Lucian looked at the people coming and going in front of him and said with emotion, "I really didn't expect that Brad and Beavis could actually reconcile... But these elf guests don't seem very happy."
"Beavis doesn't want this wedding. He feels guilty, deserves to atone, and is unhappy." Wade said, "To him, Brad is more like his younger brother. Of course, this doesn't mean he doesn't love him. As for the elves, they are extremely opposed to this wedding."
"Why?"
"Because Beavis is a traitor and sinner who caused the conflict between the light and dark elves - don't look at me like that, this is Beavis's choice." Wade shrugged.
"No, it is also the choice of the elves." Lucian paused and added, "They chose to shift all the sins to Beavis, so that they can live justly and with peace of mind."
"Brad didn't want Beavis to be defeated. Even though he hated him and misunderstood him, Beavis was always in his heart and in front of him. So he had to announce this relationship from a high place." Wade said, "There is a very strange coexistence between them. Except for each other, no one can understand their situation - both individually and as a couple."
Lucian suddenly smiled.
"Perhaps in the eyes of those who whispered, our relationship was also very sick, unhealthy and bad." He said, "You know? When you died, many people told me that I should forget you, move on, and find another healthy and relaxed relationship, not so sick and twisted..."
"Then I hope you can tell me who those people are." Wade said politely.
Lucian chuckled. Before he took a sip of rose tea, the dark elf subordinate came over from the other side. She said, "Your Majesty, Lord Brad hopes to see you in the reception room."
It sounded like a confidential meeting.
Vader glanced at Lucian, who reached out and held his five fingers.
"Go ahead." He said with a smile, "I'll wait for you here."
"You're going to wait here for me," Vader repeated.
"I'll wait for you here."
Wade kissed the back of Lucian's hand, turned around and left with the waiter. Lucian sat alone at the table until Simon came to him.
"I guess you've been waiting for him to leave for a long time." Lucian said with a smile, "Say hello again. Long time no see, Simon?"
Simon's tense face finally relaxed slightly.
"Long time no see, Lucian."
"You were secretly looking at me just now. Wade saw it and deliberately found a place to sit down to block you." Lucian said with a smile, "Am I that good-looking?"
In the past, such teasing words would always make Simon angry or blush. But at this moment, he just paused and said: "Lucian..."
"Um?"
"You look very happy," he said, "with him. You look different from the you I saw when I first came to the human race."
Lucian stopped talking.
"At that time, I didn't think you would have such a peaceful relationship. I mean, when you were trapped as Sylvia... your relationship seemed too bad, didn't it? There was so much entanglement and hatred between them. I always felt that someone needed to save you - or maybe let you be saved separately, just like people can't be stuck in a quagmire forever." Simon lowered his eyes and said, "Until later when I took you to the Sky Clan, I still didn't know if this was the right choice."
"I have to say thank you again. Simon, thank you for bringing me to the City of the Celestial Tribe. I'm very grateful." Lucian said sincerely.
Simon looked at the brilliant sky of the elves, and his eyes seemed to be stung by the light reflected by the snow-capped mountains of the sky tribe. The trees outside the window were dying. He smiled and finally whispered: "No, I am not grateful to myself at all."
"What?"
"I really wanted to know then... Forget it, are you happy now?"
He asked the question again.
Lucian was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"Meeting him again was the best thing that ever happened to me," he said.
Simon was finally relieved. At this moment, they heard a loud noise!
"Extremist light and dark elves attacked this wedding... Oh my god..."
"His Majesty Vader has been implicated..."
Most of the palace collapsed. Lucian drank the last sip of tea, stood up in the billowing smoke, and walked towards the back hall. He quickened his pace, but his posture was still elegant.
Finally he arrived at the scene. There had obviously been a fierce battle in the back hall, with large patches of splattered red blood all over the broken white pillars. Vader leaned against one of the broken pillars, with thick blood dripping from his palm.
Dark Elf Brad was seriously injured. He was briefly unconscious, and Beavis, wearing a white dress, was nervously treating him. From the marks on Beavis's clothes, it can be seen that Brad always kept Beavis behind him when danger occurred.
After confirming that there were no visible wounds on Wade's body, Lucian walked towards him leisurely.
"I got all this dust on my clothes because I came to see you." He tilted his head and smiled, "Wade, what happened just now?"
Vader did not answer.
He lowered his head, his pupils shrinking rapidly, as if he was facing the most terrible nightmare. Lucian paused, then he stretched out his hand and blocked Wade's eyes with his palm.
"… Vader?"
He was then grabbed by the wrist by Vader.
—and was bitten hard.
Lucian felt some pain and couldn't help but groan. But Wade didn't loosen his teeth. His confused pupils stared at Lucian, as if staring at a fleeting dream.
…
"… You mean, he's under some kind of curse?"
"This is an extremely terrible curse, cast by a powerful elf at the cost of the soul." Beavis said tiredly, "It affects the soul and forces the mind, making people think they are in a nightmare all the time - no matter how absurd and ridiculous the nightmare is. Even if the cursed know this, they cannot control their obsessive thinking. Many people who are cursed will eventually die in despair."
Lucian said: "Is there a solution?"
"Fortunately, His Majesty Vader's soul power is extremely strong. This curse is not difficult for him to break - perhaps it will only last for a month, or perhaps two months. Of course, since this curse does not come from strength, but acts on the most vulnerable part of the soul, His Majesty Vader will also need to expend a lot of energy to get rid of it."
Lucian nodded. He said, "I will help him."
"Yeah." Beavis said.
Lucian looked into the inner room, where Brad was unconscious. Beavis said, "Before today, I wanted to convince Brad to cancel the wedding. Until he stood in my way."
He smiled and said, "That child has finally grown up."
"I thought you would never love him." Lucian said.
"Maybe I'm not in love now," Beavis said, "but it's like I spent a year and finally realized that I don't have to go on with guilt. I think there will be a lot of changes in me in the days to come."
Lucian looked at the flourishing branches outside the window. He knew that Beavis was no longer confused.
"I wish you happiness," he said.
Now, rather than dealing with the mess between Beavis and Brad, he needed to settle accounts with Wade.
Wade refused to tell Beavis what the obsessive thoughts were after he was cursed, so Lucian decided to ask him in person.
He pushed open the door and saw Wade sitting on the sofa, looking out the window quietly.
"Vade?" he said.
At that moment he suddenly realized that Vader had not seen him.
It was not until Lucian walked up to Vader that Vader raised his head. His first reaction after seeing Lucian was surprise—it was a kind of ecstasy as if he had regained something he had lost.
"Weid." Lucian said again.
"…Give me your hand." Vader said.
Lucian handed him her hand obediently. Wade held Lucian's hand and bit it hard.
"It's you," he said. "You're still alive."
His abnormal reaction made Lucian feel a little uneasy. He sat beside him, so that his body could touch him, and said, "Wade, I just heard about the curse from Beavis. I want to know what you are thinking now? Don't lie to me. I can see through any lie you tell."
He looked at Vader without blinking, and after a long silence, Vader hugged him tightly.
He felt Lucian's soft body and smelled the fragrance of his hair. Finally, he spoke.
"I know this is ridiculous," he said in a low voice, "but..."
"I think you're dead."
"I'm already dead?" Lucian said somewhat dissatisfiedly, "Why are you cursing people? Isn't this a spell that curses you?"
Vader listened to this unreasonable and unsympathetic answer and laughed silently.
“No…” He said with difficulty, “Something tells me that you are already dead—on the day I became a god, you gave me your qualifications and then died completely.”
"I found you, reunited with you, and returned to this world, but it was all just an illusion. I couldn't acknowledge your departure, so I made up a non-existent you."
"You are as beautiful as an illusion when you are alive, Lucian."
