Lucian smiled at him innocently, as if thanking him for bringing her food. Even though his eyes were lifeless, even though he was just a body without a soul...
But it is touching enough.
He tilted his head back, his long silver hair fell on his knees, and his legs were slender under his nightgown.
The orc guards left the room almost in a panic.
After he left, Lucian's demeanor changed. His innocent and blank smile showed a hint of interest. Lucian swung his legs and laid himself on the bed.
He looked at his raised hand, raised his eyebrows, and murmured: "First, we need to find out when Wade will come back..."
He must have a living space larger than this room. If he only stayed in this room, he would not have any chance to interact with others, nor would he have any chance to escape from the guards.
Only then can he increase the possibility of escaping from the castle.
During this month-long period, he repeatedly thought about Wade's attitude towards him and everything he encountered in the prison that day, and found a subtle breakthrough.
Lucian clenched his palms.
He smiled, closed his eyes, and prepared to implement his plan.
…
Servants would come to clean this room twice a week. They treated Lucian as a puppet and ignored him. But today, a maid was accidentally injured.
Somehow she cut her foot on a mirror shard - by coincidence, she slipped and bumped into the mirror at that place, and the mirror broke at that moment. Lucian sat on the bed in a daze, and heard someone rushing outside the house - it was the orc guard again.
So it turns out that he was indeed the one in charge when Vader was away, he thought.
The guard reprimanded the maid, and the severity of his words was obviously related to how close the mirror was to Lucian. All the servants were terrified, and finally, the guard waved his hand and told the maid to accept the punishment and not to come here again until she recovered from her injuries. Several related servants would also be assigned to other tasks, and he would find a few replacement servants tomorrow.
Lucian's eyelashes trembled imperceptibly.
The new servant... was exactly what he wanted.
The servants that Wade had found were naturally timid and well-trained. But what about the servants that this guard had found temporarily
The servants left the room one by one. The last one to come in was the orc guard. The guard squatted beside the bed, carefully checking the carpet for any mirror fragments left behind. The body living in this room was the devil's forbidden food, and he dared not let the fragments leave even a wound on his body.
He didn't even dare to face Wade's punishment.
No one knew what the relationship between Vader and Lucian was. But in the eyes of his personal guard and a few palace servants who knew the inside story, Lucian was indeed Vader's forbidden lover.
Although it is beautiful, it is also taboo and cannot be seen or touched.
He didn't find anything extra on the carpet, so he breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave. From beginning to end, he didn't dare to look at the person sitting on the bed even once. If others saw him, they might think he hated Lucian.
But when he was about to leave, his sleeve was tugged.
The guard shuddered.
He turned around, but what he saw was the blank and innocent body. The body was sitting on the edge of the bed, pulling his sleeves, and looking at him blankly with dark red eyes.
"you… "
The guard was stunned, his arm felt like it was burned by fire, but he was reluctant to move it away. Fear and the feeling of touching a taboo coexisted, like iron magnets attracting each other.
The man glanced at him and crawled to another place, as if instructing him to find something. At that moment, Wade's face flashed through the guard's mind, but he finally swallowed and followed him.
He saw a fragment of mirror.
A fragment of a mirror that shines with brilliance.
The beautiful white-haired puppet placed the fragment in the palm of her hand and raised it up as if offering a treasure.
he…
Does he know what he is looking for
This behavior, which is similar to offering treasures, is just like that of an innocent child. No matter how you look at it, it shouldn't happen to a puppet that is so gorgeous and charming.
The guard took the fragment from Lucian's hand. He stared at Lucian's face uncontrollably, as if he saw the Son of God smiling at him again. That day, he was the Son of God, but now he was just an ignorant and fragile puppet. But he had transformed from an orc in the exile land to a close attendant of the emperor. Those arrogant nobles back then, who would greet him flatteringly when they saw him now
He suddenly realized what he could do to him, and now he was powerless and weak, unable to protect himself, and without the intelligence to complain to Vader... But at that moment, Vader's figure appeared in his mind again.
The guard shuddered.
Blood flowed from his palm. The guard realized that he had unconsciously grasped the mirror fragment and thus pierced his palm. He took the fragment out of his palm with a cold sweat, wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it in his arms.
When he looked in Lucian's direction again, he was startled.
—Lucian actually put his lips close to his, as if he wanted to drink the blood flowing from his fingers!
The guard's mind went blank, and when he regained consciousness, he had already left the room as quickly as possible.
But what he saw at that moment kept lingering in his mind. Succubus, blood... He suddenly remembered that Wade seemed to be feeding Lucian blood with his fingers.
Perhaps Lucian couldn't tell the difference between him and Wade at that moment, so he instinctively moved closer.
He looked at the wound on his palm, his expression becoming increasingly obscure.
He knew clearly that he was Vader's property.
But sometimes, beauty with a sense of taboo is even more captivating.
But... it's like sucking blood. Since Lucian could mistake him for Vader.
Why can't he...
The guard hurriedly ordered someone to find a new cleaning servant and then left the palace. He found a special brothel in the royal city and walked in.
There is a succubus in the brothel.
When he embraced the succubus, Lucian's face appeared in his mind again. At that moment, he suddenly thought that he and Vader were both people who came back from exile. Why could Vader be the emperor, but he couldn't
This was an ambition that had long been hidden in his heart, and his disloyalty to the monarch had first emerged in the temple. So at this moment, he really thought, it would be great if Vader could not come back.
…
After the guards left, Lucian leaned back on the bed.
The blank look faded from his face. Instead, a careless smile took its place. He lazily found a clean cloth curtain and wiped his fair hands on it.
Today, both goals were achieved. Wade's absence was a golden opportunity, and he had to seize it.
Sure enough, he got a new batch of servants on the next cleaning day. Unlike the servants that Vader had selected before, their qualities were mixed, just as Lucian had imagined.
Lucian heard a servant's gossip as he wished, and learned from her that Vader would be away from the royal city for a month—even to the exact time of his return.
One month.
Lucian also combined the content of the original work with the conversations of the maids and figured out the reason why Wade suddenly left the royal city.
—Blood out of control.
After being expelled from the royal city, Vader awakened the blood of the fallen god due to his first "death", and thus found the holy relics of the undead in the swamp of the undead, and swallowed the blood of the gods in the holy relics of the undead without hesitation. While gaining the power of the undead, he gradually lost control due to the influence of the blood of the gods - that is, he became undead. In order to maintain the balance of his body, he had two options: one was to go to the elves, who were known for their indifference and seclusion and had the power of "life" as opposed to the power of "death" of the undead, to devour the holy relics of the elves; the other was to go to the undead tribe again to find a way to crack it.
In the original novel, Rivid chose the second one. He found a way to refine his body in the land of the Undead, and stored the overflowing power of the Undead in it in the form of "undeadization" of part of his spirit body.
And Lucian remembered the time when he came back... That day was the harvest festival in the royal city.
September 1st.
Time passed day by day towards the day when Vader would return. Lucian calmly prepared the game for Vader.
A gamble could change the situation where he couldn't leave the room.
He saw the ambition in the guard's eyes, his increasingly bold movements towards him, and his increasingly unscrupulous words and expressions. If he was given a little illusion, the guard would confidently believe that he could replace Vader in this special environment without Vader.
Power and beauty are the best stimulants for men, not to mention the power and beauty of the superiors, which are somewhat taboo. Taboo is temptation, and beauty itself is a kind of power.
Lucian is Wade's caged bird. This identity is already erotic and exciting enough, not to mention Lucian's former identity as the Son of God and his beauty as a half-succubus.
Lucian patiently controlled the pace of events.
- He wanted everything to happen on the day of the Harvest Festival when Vader returned. What would happen if Vader thought the guard wanted to have an affair with him
What would happen if he happened to see such a scene
He knew Vader's murderous intentions towards him, and he also knew another point in Vader's character - he would never allow anyone else to get their hands on anything that belonged to him.
This was the result of his thinking about the day he reunited with Bright.
Regardless of whether such excitement is risky or not, having a little excitement is always better than a stagnant life. And excitement means communication and turning point.
He wants to use it as his turning point.
However, what Lucian didn't expect was that before the orc lost his mind and attacked him, he first encountered a chain reaction caused by another move.
—The subsequent reaction to the meeting with Bright that day.
A long robe with a white background and gold embroidery flashed by the door, and before the servants had time to shout in fear, the person had already entered the house.
Lucian, who was sitting on the bed, also saw the face of the person who came at this time.
It turned out to be the Duke of the Rhine.
The Duke of Rhine was of noble status, and because he was the younger brother of the former queen, he was very prestigious among the nobles. Several powerful guards pushed away the servants who were blocking them, and the gloomy man walked in with a crippled leg and a ferocious smile.
To be fair, he was quite handsome, but his handsomeness was completely overshadowed by his sinister aura. He had obviously barged in, but when he saw Lucian sitting on the bed, he finally grinned.
"When I heard Bright talk about it, I thought it was fake, until the succubus slave in my brothel told me that the emperor's guards accidentally leaked a few words when they patronized him." He spoke slowly, his dim eyes did not blink, trying to stare out some fear from Lucian's face, "So you have really been turned into a succubus now. But this face is good-looking, much more pleasing to the eye than before."
Lucian just pretended not to understand.
But he really didn't know how to evaluate his luck.
If one had to pick out an enemy from among all the people in the royal city in the past, it would have to be the Duke of Rhine.
You should know that the Duke of Rhine, who was once famous for his swordsmanship, had his leg broken by someone he secretly sent someone to break.
In addition, his third leg was almost broken.
"Your Vader can't return to the royal city now, but he doesn't have to offend the old nobles for a little slave." Duke Rhine said gloomily, smiling strangely, "When I first knew that you had succubus blood, I... I knew you were a bitch."
