Lucian slept until morning. When he woke up, he felt uncomfortable because his dog's tail hit his dog's face with a "slap".
The next day was another day of "enslavement" by Wade. When Lucian rubbed his eyes and was taken to the inner room by the maid, all he saw was Wade sitting in front of the dressing mirror.
"Come here." I heard Wade say.
Lucian then walked over reluctantly, lowering his head to focus on tying Wade's tie. His fingers were thin and long, and his movements were flexible.
It was completely different from yesterday when I untied his belt.
As soon as he finished the task, Wade pinched the white-haired succubus's chin and forced her to raise her face.
"Did you sleep well last night?" Wade said in a voice like a venomous snake, "Lucian?"
The scarlet eyes stared at me, as if they wanted to skin me from the inside out to see if there was any clue.
At that moment Lucian understood what Vader was testing.
—I want to know whether the farce last night was an accident or Lucian did it on purpose.
Lucian lowered his eyelashes, bit his lips, and his ears turned red. Finally, Wade snorted coldly and let go of his chin.
"Don't do stupid things like this in the future." He said disdainfully, "You will be the only one who suffers."
Lucian endured the humiliation and gave her a fake smile.
When Wade let go of his hand, Lucian heard the system's voice as if it was relieved: "You looked so scary just now, as if you were going to kill you immediately..."
"Have a good time watching the video. I'll watch it when I have some free time." Lucian replied.
Lucian didn't wear a holy robe today, but was changed into a student uniform by the maids - the uniform they were required to wear when they were studying in the sanctuary. The scarf on his chest was inlaid with green gems, and there were two triangles on the front and back of the white cloak with diamond-shaped crystals. Lucian really didn't know where Wade found this outfit.
He served as an atmosphere decoration for a day again, following Wade from the study to the meeting room, from the meeting room to the dining room, and then to the study. Hearing Percy say that the war between the light elves and the dark elves has entered a white-hot stage, the light elves despise the dark elves as blasphemers, while the dark elves mock these hypocritical elves. Lucian stood beside Wade and served, showing "well-behaved" and "docile" at the right time. It was just that Wade's occasional cold look made him understand that both of them knew the storm hidden under this seemingly peaceful relationship.
At night, Wade went to take a bath. Lucian sat in his room and clicked on the system video. With his wine-red eyes, he watched the moment when Wade's finger almost touched his lips, and played it back over and over again.
The system was increasingly unable to see the expression on Lucian's face. As the night deepened, the system suddenly heard Lucian say, "You care about me a lot, right?"
system:
"Whether he hates me, wants to kill me, or this ridiculous 'servant' contract, it shows that he cares about me very much. He can tolerate me being disrespectful to him..."
Lucian's voice became lower and lower. The system said happily: "Host, you finally plan to attack..."
But it heard Lucian's voice.
"When people are dying, they will erupt with the most intense emotions, right? Even Wade is no exception." Lucian said softly, "Even an immortal will feel pain when dying."
"Wait! Host, you are not going to..." The system screamed, "Hold steady, don't act recklessly!!"
It saw Lucian blinking at it.
"Just kidding." Lucian chuckled.
The system didn't think Lucian was joking. It stared at its host nervously, but found that Lucian behaved normally. Lucian was still huddled in the quilt at night, and only poked his head out of the quilt when he couldn't bear it anymore, begging Wade standing by the bed to feed him.
As usual, Vader fed Lucian and tortured him, mocking and kneading his newly grown horns until Lucian bit his palm and bled. When Lucian said, "If my father saw you doing this to me, he would be so angry that he would die," Vader said, "Which father are you talking about? The Pope is dead, and your name has been burned on the Cecil family tree. I am your 'brother'" and blocked his mouth with his bloody hand.
After everything was over, the system comforted Lucian for a while, and then said: "... At least the situation is not too bad now. You are not dead yet."
Lucian's face did not show any shame or pain as it had imagined. Lucian stared at the ceiling and asked curiously, "Why are you so angry when I mentioned my father just now?"
System: "…It may be because of the rumors of the affair between you and the Pope."
Lucian: "What about my foster uncle Cecil?"
System: "…It may be because of the forbidden rumors about you and his relationship as adoptive father and son."
"But Wei De doesn't want to sleep with me." Lucian said, "Then why is he angry?"
System: ...Unable to answer, you are not normal people.
The system struggled for a long time, and could only repeatedly tell Lucian to stay calm, at least until it could contact the control center, and not to go too far and get killed by Wade. But Lucian just hummed a few times perfunctorily.
This made the system nervous, fearing that Lucian might think desperately and assassinate Wade.
Before Lucian fell asleep, the system saw Lucian pursing his lips.
"Does Vader feel that I am controlled by him now?"
system:
"Oh, right." Lucian suddenly asked the system, "You said you want me to capture him. If I want to capture him, how should I capture him?"
The system's eyes instantly filled with tears.
—Lucian, you have grown up!
"Let me think, since you two are childhood sweethearts, then you must have had some good memories between you and him that you helped him create..." The system got stuck here.
… It seems that there really isn’t one. Apart from the daily bullying of Wade, the other events that made Lucian known as the “white moonlight” were all overturned when he left the world and became black history.
The system wanted to say something, but Lucian had already fallen asleep.
It didn't know how much Lucian had heard.
…
After that night, everything seemed to be back on track. So back on track that the system began to wonder if Lucian had become a different person.
Lucian obediently served as a decoration for the atmosphere every day, and obediently changed clothes and served dishes for Wade. He no longer deliberately did bad things, and no longer showed humiliation in his eyes. This was really abnormal. Of course, the system knew that Lucian, who regarded this world as a game, did not feel real about his identity of being defeated and imprisoned because he was "jealous" of Wade. What he felt more was that he was a proud fast traveler, but was humiliated by the male protagonist of this world.
But Lucian's current behavior is so good.
It seemed that he had really accepted the system's suggestion to "capture Vader" and that he had really accepted his fate of "surviving as a servant". However, in response, the system found that Vader's attitude was becoming more and more anxious.
Wade was very satisfied with the first few days, until one day, when he entered the bathing pool to take a bath, he came out and saw Lucian leaning against the wall, talking to the guard on the other side.
Her collar was open, revealing her delicate collarbone. Her white hair was tied up with a ribbon and hung down in front of her chest. The guard was afraid to talk to the emperor's concubine at first, but he didn't know what trick Lucian used - now he forgot his identity and responsibility and chatted with her carefully.
When the emperor in black appeared, he finally woke up from the enchantment and trembled as if he had seen a ghost. Wade grabbed Lucian's arm, dragged him back to the bedroom, threw him back on the sofa, and leaned over to bite him.
"Young master, I'm playing tricks." She said to him in a bloody kiss, "Lucian."
"Hmm..." Lucian said softly, "Why have you been spending more and more time in the bathtub recently?"
Wade sneered and said nothing.
After dinner the next day, Wade handed two boxes to Lucian: "Open them and take a look."
Lucian blinked at him, and Wade raised the corners of his lips and said, "This is your reward for being so good these past two days."
Lucian opened the first box. Inside the first box was a ring—on which was a seal of the beastman's sacrifice. As long as he wore it, he could disguise himself as a beastman.
At that moment, Lucian's back stiffened.
He didn't open the second box until Wade asked him, "Why don't you open it?"
Lucian didn't speak for a long time. Finally, he looked up at Wade and smiled with his red lips: "Afraid of getting dirty. You don't want a bloody hand to change your clothes, do you?"
Unscrupulously smart.
Wade laughed sullenly, and then laughed out loud. Finally, he flicked his fingers, and the second box was opened. Inside was a curled up hand that had become a dark, withered skeleton.
"This is Calvin's ring. I'm really curious about how you knew that your family had such a good thing as this ring. It's a good thing, and its power comes from the beast god. With it, I can get closer to the sacred objects of the beast tribe more easily. Lucian, you always have a way." Wade said lightly, "But now I give it to you, I don't need this ease. It can also be regarded as to be able to repay you for the trouble you have gone through to seduce me to get close to me."
Lucian looked at it indifferently.
"Okay, I got what you wanted for you." Wade said softly, "Lucian. Do you have any ideas?"
“Fuck, so perverted…” the system screamed in Lucian’s mind.
Wade kept his promise and did not take him to see Calvin's body, but brought a gun with him out of spite.
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
Finally, Lucian slowly raised her eyes and smiled at him.
"You didn't bring a bloody hand, but burned it. That's good. I don't like to see bloody things." Lucian smiled, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness."
Wade's face suddenly turned gloomy, and after a long time, he laughed again.
It was as if he had heard some joke that excited him.
"... I don't support you in conquering him anymore." The system trembled in Lucian's mind, "You'd better run away quickly. I'll help you contact the control center..."
Lucian didn't listen to him.
She just wiped her hands with a handkerchief and put the ring in her inner pocket.
"Actually, Wade is telling me," the system heard Lucian suddenly say in the brain, "Whatever I want to achieve, he will know it. He doesn't even mind helping me get it back."
'Because I am his prisoner from which I cannot escape, and I will kill those who attempt to challenge the authority that holds me prisoner.'
system:…
"Is that so?" The system trembled.
"I'm just talking nonsense."
Lucian smiled and stuffed the handkerchief that she had used to wipe her fingers into the red wine glass in front of her, watching it become soft and stained bright red after being soaked.
…
The system was increasingly unable to figure out what Lucian was trying to do. Lucian knew that Wade was making an example of someone, but he acted as if he was really being “stirred”.
He never did anything tricky again. In the following week, he seemed to have really submitted.
But what the system couldn't understand was that Wade became more and more anxious.
He began to ridicule Lucian more and more, as if this was not the result he wanted.
The system pondered for a while, and compared this with the information in the love system it knew, but still couldn't figure it out.
Just when it was about to classify this as "Lucian finally felt guilty and planned to capture Vader to gain his love and survive", the accident happened again.
That day, Vader was still in the blasphemous temple, sleeping on the throne with his chin in his hand. Vader had been very busy recently and often left the palace. Every time he returned to the palace, he would either lock himself in the study, soak himself in the bath, or stay here.
He let Lucian play music for him like he did when he was praising the gods, while he took a nap on the throne. When Vader fell asleep, his terrifying scarlet eyes were closed, his hair was black, and his skin was pale, like a sick devil.
Lucian finished playing a piece of "Hymn to the Virgin Mary" and was about to change to the next one. As soon as his fingers plucked the strings, he heard Wade's voice: "Come with me to a place tonight."
Lucian looked up and asked: "Where are you going?"
"Outside the palace." Wade's voice was a little gloomy, "Houston Manor."
Houston... That's a loyal noble family. Lucian blinked and said, "What are you doing there?"
"The Houstons are hosting a charity dinner, and I need a companion."
"Did they invite you?"
"What do you think?" Wade said with a hint of interest, "The donations raised from this dinner will be used for the celebration ceremony for the completion of the reconstruction of the sanctuary."
"So you're here to stir up trouble."
"Want to go, Lucian?" Wade answered irrelevantly.
Under his oppressive gaze, Lucian smiled at him: "Okay."
"Do you want me to wear men's clothes or women's clothes?" he added.
