Wade is hiding.
Lucian thought.
He stood on the city wall, folded his hands, and watched the fiery red dragon descend from the sky. His posture really looked like any evil dragon in the legend.
It was only natural for the dragon to snatch the jewel and the princess. The guards, who were more like prisoners than escorting the bride, trembled and pointed their spears at the dragon. But the dragon ignored him. It grabbed the princess in her clean wedding dress from the carriage. The princess wanted to refuse with tears in her eyes because she knew her fate was sealed.
"Come with me."
This was her destiny.
But facing the red dragon and the pair of blazing golden eyes, she simply couldn't lie.
"Okay." She whispered.
She only knew whether these words came from the pressure of magic or from her true heart.
Lucian watched as the royal city fell into chaos, and as Queen Asta turned pale and nearly insane after learning that her sister had been abducted by the dragon, she hysterically demanded that someone rescue her sister.
"Never mind the damn engagement!" she said, "Bring Chloe back... We have to save her!"
She collapsed on the throne, her pearl hairpins in disarray. At that moment, she seemed to finally regret her behavior.
Her madness made her determined to allow Chloe to be taken away from her.
After that, all the plots developed as Lucian knew. The princess went from fear and worry at the beginning to true happiness in the red dragon's cave. There she even found many boxes of lost books, including witchcraft books. But she still remembered her mission - to kill Duke William. Besides that, what she feared most was that the queen would hold the red dragon accountable.
When the Queen and Duke William's first attack came, a crazy idea came to her mind. She carried the red dragon on her back and ran to the safe zone where the red dragon had locked her up. In the chaos of the valley, she found Duke William who was alone. Duke William shot an arrow and showed a look of joy when he saw her.
Her hands were shaking, but she still firmly thrust the arrow into his chest. Duke William died in great shock. Chloe looked at her bloody hands, she looked at the lake and her crazy self, and for the first time realized that she was indeed Asta's sister.
They all have the same madness in their bones.
She returned to the dragon's cave and pretended nothing had happened. But the queen's second attack eventually took her away from the already weakened Edith. Some warriors saw the value of the red dragon, and some were eager to get a piece of the dragon's treasure. The queen wanted her sister to be the bait, but Chloe would rather commit suicide than agree.
She even told her sister that she knew she would never give up. During the second attack, she was seriously injured and hid Edith in human form, and told her that she missed the royal city and decided to betray her and would never come back.
"She's just a dragon!" The queen finally lost her composure, "You're going against the kingdom for a dragon, you...!"
"I'm alone, too, sister." Chloe said quietly, "I'm alone, I'm here to take your props."
She sat in the tower where she was imprisoned, thinking about the sacrifices she had made and the happy days she had lived. She thought that the Red Dragon would come back.
But she was very happy. She knew that the life of a dragon was long, but the life of a human was only a moment. Her encounter with the red dragon had already used up her fleeting luck. Time was short, and the red dragon was stupid. She would believe the lie that betrayed her and forget this brief moment.
She would spend the rest of her life in the tower. Life was only a few decades long, and even if it was painful, it was short-lived. She would quickly get used to it and forget about it.
Lucian stood outside the tower, his eyes somewhat silent. After a long while, he said, "Actually, the story should have ended here, right?"
He said with a sigh: "In the long time, no one can always remember another person. What's more, this person has betrayed himself. If the story can stop here, this should be a good ending."
As he said this, he tilted his head, and his silver hair slid down his neck. Wade glanced at him, and for a moment he wanted to hold those hairs in his hands.
"… "
"It's a pity that Red Dragon is so stupid to come and save her. Really, both of them are so miserable. It seems to be the night after tomorrow?" Lucian said, "I really want to see the ending. Let's find a way to go back to the past, okay?"
"... You think she did this because she was stupid, right?" Wade sneered, "What about you? Would you forget... the person you hate?"
"... Of course, hating someone is tiring. I'm very busy and never like to spend time on this kind of thing." Lucian said, "If you take the relationship too seriously, you'll go crazy."
What he said was actually the truth. As a fast traveler, he had been to countless worlds, so he naturally implemented this principle.
For me, the world is no different. I just experience the attractions through traveling. If I took the stories of these attractions too seriously, I would have gone crazy a long time ago.
"I remember seeing the red dragon in the cave when I first came into the memory. She said that the princess' body was very light, but her tears were very heavy. But so far, the princess has never shed tears on her body. So, that one 'very heavy tear' should be her memory when she was dying. Her consciousness after death lingered in the cave, waiting for the princess to find her. Let's go back to the cave and take a look. Let's decide..."
"… You're grabbing my arm, what are you doing?"
Wade's hand grasped Lucian's arm like an iron clamp. Before Lucian could even react with surprise, he was pressed against the wall.
They kissed each other passionately against the wall, and bit each other, Lucian's lips were bitten and bleeding, and there were teeth marks on his neck.
"You're crazy... Let me go!"
When Lucian opened his mouth to protest, he looked up and saw eyes that were like a sea of blood.
The stiffness that suddenly rose from his tailbone made him forget to struggle.
Lucian saw Vader's expression and understood him. When he came to his senses again, he beat Vader hard to make him let go. The struggle between the two turned into a fight, and at that moment Lucian suddenly heard a creepy word from Vader.
"You said you hold a grudge, but if I kill you now, will you remember me, Lucian?" he said softly.
At that moment, Lucian had been pinned to the ground by Wade. Lucian stared at him in confusion and said, "I will... Well, how can I remember you after I die?"
Hear Vader's laughter.
Wade sat on him, and with his hands, he applied more force little by little, strangling his breathing little by little with an extremely resolute and undeniable attitude.
Lucian's kicking and struggling limbs became weaker and weaker. He found that he couldn't breathe, and the remaining oxygen was exhausted. He opened his mouth and began to gasp for air. At this moment, Vader let go of his hand and leaned down to kiss him - as if he had been waiting for this moment.
"Does this feel like being strangled to death to you?"
"You're crazy... Ugh!"
didn't intend to kill me, I just wanted to kiss me.
Remember this pain and suffocation, they are all given to you by me.
Remember the marks on your body, remember the bite marks and wounds.
All these are given by me... Don't think you can escape, don't think you can forget me.
Wei De suddenly had an idea. He knew that this was just an illusory memory and would not leave any mark on Lucian. Even if it left a mark in reality, these marks would eventually disappear with time.
In that case, stay a little longer.
Every day I leave marks on my body, every day I bite and kiss me, letting my scent be imbued on my body, letting me know who I belong to.
Let him know that he can never escape.
A dark voice lingers in the depths of my heart, constantly telling the words that my mind can hear.
Lucian felt that Wade had gone mad again. After he let go, he bit Wade's neck fiercely and began to suck his blood.
"Ved must be sick again," he said to the system.
system:…
After everything was over, Lucian sat on the ground, rubbing the wound on his neck vigorously with his hands. He hissed, raised his head and frowned, "Are you a dog?"
Seeing Wade lowering his head and stroking the bite wound on his neck, he felt a little more vengeful and happy, so he said, "Don't be angry, you were the one who started it..."
Seeing Wade hiding a mark under his collar, Yu Xi coaxed him, "We..."
At that moment, the whole world suddenly shook violently!
Lucian's feet shook. He found that Vader had caught him at the fastest speed and spread his wings to fly. When Lucian was confused, he heard Vader's voice in his ear: "Another consciousness came here?"
"Another consciousness? And..."
He looked up and saw the gray mist gradually enveloping the entire sky. Many people in the royal city were touched by this strange celestial phenomenon, and they looked up at this strange scene. The princess, who was originally sitting in a room in the tower with a calm expression, also walked to the balcony and looked at the strange sky.
At this moment, she heard the sound of faint footsteps behind her.
The princess turned around and saw a person in a gray robe standing behind her. The hood covered her face, with only a strand of golden hair showing. She turned around in confusion and said sternly, "You..."
Who are you? Why are you in the tower now
But she could no longer speak.
A dagger was deeply inserted into her abdomen. Chloe looked at the person in horror. The wind blew and lifted the woman's hood, and she saw the person's face clearly.
And a face that belongs to her!
"Finally... I finally found it... on this day." She heard someone use her voice to say words that she understood, "You should live in this story, I will replace you..."
Big mouthfuls of blood spurted out of her mouth, and she watched a woman who looked like her but had the fallen mark of a lich on her forehead pull a dagger out of her abdomen. The woman in the gray robe stretched out a pale hand, and she was going to cast a spell to turn her into ashes.
She understood the man's intentions almost instantly.
This woman who looks exactly like her, resembles her, and yet is so unlike her, wants to kill her and replace her!
"Rest in peace." She heard the woman's flat voice, "I need you right now."
The princess covered her abdomen and backed away, but the man kept coming towards her. Finally, her waist hit the railing, and her body was about to fall. She had blood in her mouth, and she said weakly and terrifiedly: "You... you..."
"You love me?!"
She gave the most ridiculous and impossible answer.
"This is the 300th year after Edith's death." She got the answer from this person, "Yes."
"—I am you three hundred years from now."
The princess' body fell from the tower like a leaf. The gray-robed lich looked down at her, his pupils without a trace of emotion. However...
The next moment, the princess' body disappeared out of thin air!
Someone grabbed her body, hid himself and took her away!
The gray-robed lich looked up at the sky. Her pupils, which had turned silver due to her corruption, quickly caught the direction of the subtle traces of magic. Thick gray fog rose from her side. She waved her hand, and the gray fog turned into undead spirits one after another, sweeping in the direction they left!
So what if this is just a false memory? she thought.
She has waited for so many years... Anyone who intends to hinder her from changing this story will be killed by her.
