"Bang!"
At the same time, there was the sound of Elizabeth's teacup breaking when it fell to the ground.
Lucian's forehead was sweating coldly. He breathed a sigh of relief and carefully retracted his ankle. As he moved, the conversation outside seemed to reach a climax.
"No, Your Majesty, I'm sorry, but your answer is really unexpected, I mean, my friend." He heard Elizabeth's panicked voice, "So I just accidentally put the teacup..."
"Why can't he and I be friends?" Wade said sarcastically, "He was the one who 'kindly' brought me back to the Cecil Manor. Everyone said that I had to thank this young master. Of course, after he brought me back, he spent the whole day thinking about where to brand my slave."
…Is this true? Lucian thought about it and realized that it was true.
"... Later, after I was adopted into the Cecil family, went to the academy, and went to the sanctuary, he took care of me in countless ways. You were the first to tie my name to his." Wade said.
Silence, long silence.
"So..." Elizabeth said, "Are all the things Lucian said true?"
"He is really like the Pope... He is really not a human, he is really..."
"Is he really dead? Wade, did you really kill him? Even if he deserved to die, he shouldn't have died in your hands!" Elizabeth became excited, "You should at least hand him over to the Vatican for trial! How could you privately..."
"Or is he not dead? You locked him up and tortured him, you..."
Lucian huddled in his desk, nervously listening to the two people mentioning his name. Wade was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something - perhaps his answer to Elizabeth.
Lucian suddenly thought of Bright. The scene where Elizabeth mentioned him now was very similar to the scene where Bright "asked" Wade for him!
“…” Lucian thought.
Wade won't take Elizabeth to see him, will he
—Just like when he had carried him to the prison in the middle of the night and touched his calves in front of Bright.
But this time it was beyond his expectation. Wade did not respond to Elizabeth's questions - whether they were intimidated by him, "Is everything about Lucian true?" "Is Lucian really dead?" "Did Lucian really... lie to us?"
It’s still the same sentence, “We were once friends.”
The only answer he gave Elizabeth was a gloomy smile and one sentence -
"No comment, Miss Green," he said. "You have no right to know anything."
"You! Vader, you think you are..."
The questioning had exhausted all of Elizabeth's courage and patience. The young lady, who had never been disobeyed, wanted to get angry, but she was trembling under the pressure that suddenly rose from the young man.
At that moment, she suddenly realized that she shouldn't have barged in here. There was a subtle and special connection between Wade Cecil and Lucian Cecil, and she had just touched this barrier.
A barrier that could explode at any time.
Finally, she said with trembling lips: "I, I'm sorry."
A long silence spread in the study. Everyone could feel that Elizabeth Green was eager to escape from here, and to escape from Wade. But in the end, she just said with a cold sweat: "Then, Your Majesty, regarding my father's birthday, I look forward to your..."
"You don't have to bother with that."
Vader interrupted her again, coldly.
He glanced at the trembling blonde girl in front of him, who was clearly extremely afraid and disgusted with him, but was trying her best to hide her flattery by coming up to him for all his power and strength, and smiled maliciously: "I am not interested in destroying the Green family and your dozens of plantations for the time being, of course."
As he spoke, Elizabeth's face became paler: "... there is no need for a queen."
Elizabeth's deepest thoughts were completely exposed, and she finally couldn't hold on any longer. Wade supported his chin with one hand, looking at the girl's ugly face, thinking to himself that she did like Lucian.
He had seen the girl's admiration for the Son of God, and he had also heard that Elizabeth had begged her father to arrange a marriage with Lucian.
—But he would never let her see Lucian, either for showing off or for demonstration.
Now Lucian belongs to him alone, can only be seen, hugged, kissed, and feel his warmth...
All property.
He raised the corners of his lips, a smile filled with malice and subtle joy welling up in his heart.
He stretched his long legs unconsciously. In the deep hole of the table, Lucian twisted his posture to avoid the knee that suddenly approached him. His calves were cramped due to excessive tension.
Vader's presence was close at hand.
The girl finally left the study. Along with her, the "polite" Wade left. After the door closed, Lucian finally crawled out from the desk where he was hiding.
He still held the blueprint in his hand, but the cold sweat on his palms almost soaked the parchment. He exhaled deeply, gritted his teeth, and ran towards the secret passage as fast as he could.
As he was about to reach the decorative fireplace, a subtle reaction ran up his spine.
Lucian turned his head suddenly, and the silver hair was blown in the air by the wind, like a flying silver butterfly. At that moment, a silver light from a tower not far from the study window also caught his eyes.
The man holding the telescope on the tower didn't expect him to turn around, and he himself was stunned, looking at the red-eyed young man in the picture.
Lucian's eyes turned cold. He stared at that paragraph, his fingers clenched around the parchment, tightly grasping it in his palm.
broken.
These were the two words that flashed through his mind.
Whoever this person was, and no matter when he had been watching here, everything told him that he could no longer stay in this castle.
It was impossible for Vader not to notice this person's spying. So there were only two possibilities: one, he was Vader's man. Two, if he was not Vader's man, Vader would have a very high probability of capturing him and hearing from him everything he saw.
And all this leads to only one result—
He was discovered after "returning"!
After a brief moment of shock at Lucian's appearance, the man immediately turned his back and ran away. At this moment, Lucian bit his lips with his fangs.
"We can only act so quickly." He whispered, "I wanted to prepare for a while longer."
He turned the secret passage leading to Wade's room and ducked in.
Before Vader sends Elizabeth Greene away from the castle, he still has some time to prepare for his escape!
Lucian ran carefully in the secret passage. When leaving the secret passage, he was careful not to step on the raised stone brick.
The bedroom appeared before his eyes, and the first thing Lucian did was to open Wade's wardrobe.
Vader's wardrobe was as cool and neat as he was. Lucian picked out a shirt, a pair of trousers and a belt, and a pair of boots that the servants had just given him and had never worn.
He took off his robe and put the clothes on. Vader was bigger than he was. Shirts always felt a little loose on him. He tightened his belt and then the belts of his boots - thankfully, they made the boots, which were a little too big for him, fit him better.
Before leaving, Lucian took a black ribbon from the room. He whistled and tied his long silver hair with the ribbon, making it hang loosely behind his head.
"I just started."
He snapped his fingers, opened one of the secret doors, and disappeared into darkness.
…
Ross walked quickly in the castle nervously.
He put the telescope, which was carefully made by the dwarf craftsman, in the inner pocket of his coat. But at this moment, he had no time to care about this creation that he once loved as much as a knight's sword. He walked hurriedly, his eyelids twitching, and sweat on his forehead.
He will never forget what he just saw!
Following the mission of Grand Duke Murphy, after failing to find the place, he took the telescope and went up to the tower without any hope. Through the window of Wade's study, which was facing the tower, he could see Wade sitting at the desk in the study, talking with Elizabeth Green - the blonde girl was a peerless beauty.
Just secretly watching her through the telescope was enough for Ross to be satisfied.
But Vader clearly had no intention of showing mercy to Elizabeth. Soon after, the blonde girl seemed to fall into a brief state of annoyance and ultimate fear because she asked the wrong question. At that moment, Vader's overwhelming aura made his heart clench - fortunately, Vader did not kill Elizabeth in the end. On the contrary, he could even be called a "gentleman" and sent her out in a good mood.
Ross finally breathed a sigh of relief. The study was empty after Wade and Elizabeth left. He originally wanted to put down the telescope and go somewhere else.
Who would have thought…
After the two left, he saw a figure crawling out from under Wade's desk!
At that moment, his mood became subtle.
Wade was quite playful. He thought, while talking to Miss Elizabeth, he could hide his lover under the desk for her... Tsk.
He didn't expect that Wade from the Cecil family, who always had a gloomy face since he was young, was actually doing this kind of "things" in private.
But this discovery also shocked him. After searching everywhere for the lover, he stared at the telescope nervously, trying to see the face of his lover.
At that moment, even his breathing stopped.
The first thing he saw was long silver hair.
Silver hair is extremely rare among humans. Not to mention that even from the back, one can see the slender waist and long legs of the person who is like a work of art - even though Ross is a pure heterosexual, his heart skipped a beat at the scene he saw.
He thought, Wade is really lucky.
The silver-haired beauty had her back to him and was walking towards the fireplace. Ross couldn't help but glance at her waist and legs that were exposed under her long hair, thinking about the appearance of this extremely beautiful woman.
—Until the beauty turned around.
At that moment, even the blood in Ross' body froze.
As the attendant of Grand Duke Murphy, Ross's speciality is recognizing faces. Therefore...
Even if her hair color changed, even if her eye color changed, even if a succubus's unique magic pattern appeared on her forehead.
At that moment he still recognized the identity of the beauty.
Lucien Cissell!
The adopted son of the Cecil family, Vader's cousin, the former Son of the Lily, the Black Lotus that fooled the entire human race, the disgraced enemy who was "killed" in the temple by the vengeful Vader, and the one who finally appeared here...
Half succubus!
His succubus bloodline has awakened? How did he end up in the palace? He is not dead? What did Vader do to him? He just did it for Vader under the desk...
The canary that was kept in the palace by Wade, the "mistress", was actually the former Son of God Lucian? !
After being discovered by the other party, the first thing Ross did was to run away. He walked quickly in the long corridor, his mind was full of the face of the Son of God he had just seen, and the scene between him and Wade under the desk (imagined).
He must tell this to Grand Duke Murphy! No... If Grand Duke Murphy allows it, he wants to share his horror with the whole world!
Until a pair of boots stopped in front of him.
Ross looked up in horror, only to be met with a pair of silver eyes.
"So you are the one running around in the palace." The black-haired woman smiled at him. "What good things did you see in the palace?"
Lilith said, turning to the direction of Butler Spencer's room and said, "Excuse me... Is this how you humans use honorifics? Please, come with me to see the butler. Tell me in detail what you have discovered."
"You... who are you?" Ross asked fearfully.
"The king's men." Lilith said.
…
After Butler Spencer took away Elizabeth, who was still crying in fear, Wade returned to his study.
He sat at his desk, staring at the tabletop, not knowing what he was thinking. Finally, he chuckled.
“Hahahaha…hahahaha…”
He felt a strong sense of pleasure just thinking that compared with those "admirers" of Lucian in the world today, he was the only one who knew where Lucian was, he was the only one who could possess Lucian, and now Lucian could only see him.
Eventually, he calmed down enough to get up and search the bookshelf, eventually pulling out a box.
An ornately decorated wooden box.
Inside the wooden box, on the dark velvet cushion was an emerald green gem. The gem was transparent in color, and it sparkled even at night, as if all the forests had been used up to extract a drop of green.
Wade got this gem by chance on his way back from the Undead's land. He thought it was very similar to the color of Lucian's eyes.
He held the gem in his palm, thinking of Lucian's now pointed ears, and suddenly thought that this gem could be made into an earring.
He personally pierced Lucian's thin skin and wiped away the blood that flowed from the wound.
I personally left an everlasting ear hole on his body... and then I personally put this earring on him.
Wade rang the bell and called the servant in.
He handed the box along with the instructions to the servant, but his eyes were fixed on the carpet under the desk when he handed the box over.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
A strong sense of horror surged up the servant's body. At that moment, he couldn't even describe the fear he was experiencing. He trembled subconsciously and watched Wade slowly lower his body.
—and picked up a long strand of silver hair from the carpet.
