"I enjoyed a quiet sleep all to myself again." Lucian said to the system after Noah and Burton retreated.
System: "... Don't you think your current behavior is extremely shameless?"
“I don’t think so.” Lucian said happily.
Lucian lay back on the bed and went to sleep peacefully. Before going to sleep, he checked his body and found that the bruises on his collarbone and waist were almost gone. He was just feeling thankful when he saw the inside of his thigh...
There was also a deep fingerprint.
Lucian: …
... He must find an opportunity to give Wade a good return.
Lucian enjoyed a pleasant night's sleep. He didn't know that while he was sleeping, Burton, who was patrolling the garden, stopped and looked at the room belonging to Lucian, which was hidden by the moonlight and branches.
What Lucian said during the day entered his mind again. Her wine-red eyes stared at him, as if she was telling him something... All the emotions were buried in the breath of wanting to say something but not being able to, and it was hard to hear clearly.
He also felt that there was a strange connection between him and Lucian, as if Lucian had once made him very unhappy.
Lucian had a dream in the early morning. In the dream, he turned into a cat and stepped on the milk in Vader's arms. Vader grabbed his neck. When he tried to stretch out his claws to scratch Vader's face, he woke up.
The next few days passed peacefully, but Lucian was not very energetic from day to night. He didn't know whether it was because of the nightmare or because he was not used to living there. In order to kill time, he went out to find Burton again, holding his hand to see if he had forgotten everything. But Burton hurriedly waved his hand away, saying that he didn't remember anything.
"You will remember me, Burton..." Lucian bit his lip and said "strongly", "How could you not remember me? I..."
After saying this, he turned his head away, leaving Burton with only a rather forbearing profile.
Lucian saw the stunned and guilty look on Burton's face as he wished. He raised his lips and walked away from Burton quickly. He bumped into Noah at the foot of the wall. Noah looked well behaved and asked him, "Brother, what were you talking to Burton about?"
"Nothing." Lucian said hurriedly, "You don't have to worry anymore... We have already..."
"He no longer... remembers me."
"I don't remember... Brother, you and him..."
After saying this softly, Lucian left the corridor. The moment he turned the corner, his peach blossom eyes showed a look of success.
This is so much fun.
Playing with Burton and Noah became Lucian's new hobby. Noah was his brother who had a strange possessiveness towards him, and Burton, who had lost his memory, was framed by him as his old lover. For several days, Lucian saw the look in his eyes when he looked at him, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. And he always responded with a fragile smile.
Every time the system saw him like this, it felt very distressed and wanted to give itself some quick-acting heart-saving pills. However, Lucian said confidently: "You are not worried about me. They will not do anything to me like Wade did."
"Am I worried about you? I'm worried about them... I'm worried about number four!"
"He won't die."
"Is this a question of whether or not I will die?!"
The system complained loudly.
“Number Four should thank me. It was me who found him after he lost his memory and notified the system to take him home. With such a great favor, what’s wrong with me playing with him?” Lucian said confidently.
system:…
Forget it, it shouldn't have any expectations of Lucian's conscience.
Lucian leaned on a bench in the garden, feeling the breeze and feeling his listlessness getting worse.
He lifted up a strand of long hair, and after seeing its dark gray color, he said casually: "Now that the identity of No. 4 has been confirmed, I think it's about time to go back..."
"You still remember to go back." The system said forcefully.
"Are you treating me too casually?" Lucian complained, "I won't just find someone to replenish my magic power. I have a mysophobia."
System: ...Okay.
… It turned out that Lu Xian didn’t go back because no matter how wild he was outside, he would not eat the cat food given by others.
Such a sentence suddenly flashed through the system's mind, and the system was deeply shocked by itself.
"Come to think of it, why hasn't Wade come to see me yet? How can he be so capable as the male lead?" Lucian played with the ends of his hair and asked in a casual tone, "Do you think the noise I made wasn't loud enough?"
system:…
As soon as it spoke, it saw Lucian stand up.
"What are you going to do?!" the system asked in horror.
"Don't be nervous. I see Heloise coming (Eden's sister, the mayor of the City of Lust). She's in the corridor over there. She seems to be about to enter the meeting room. I'll wait for her to come out and say hello to her." Lucian hummed, "We are old acquaintances on the battlefield."
The system looked at Lucian's confident expression and felt more and more worried.
"Really? Don't lie to me?" the system said.
It was very suspicious about what Lucian was greeting.
…
There were three people sitting in the meeting room, in addition to Noah, the lord of the City of Laziness, there were Heloise and the lord of the City of Wrath. The three lords sat at the table and discussed the affairs.
Noah was quite downhearted. He would rather go see his "brother" than socializing with these people. But the matter at hand was indeed a big deal - the old demon king was dying, and his only son could not bear the burden, so there were always people eager to compete for the position of demon king - the mayor of the city of gluttony was one of them.
The Lord of Gluttony City won over the Lord of Greed City and decided to kill the old devil's son and establish himself as king. The Lord of Jealousy City just watched from the sidelines. This is why the three of them gathered here to discuss. They had originally planned to discuss today, and Noah's capture of Lu Xian and Eden before this was just an accident.
The Lord of the City of Rage worshipped power and believed that the Lord of the City of Gluttony was not qualified to seize the position of Demon King. He sneered, "Come on, everyone knows how he fled back from the chief Paladin of the human race crying and dejected on the battlefield?"
"It's the former chief." The woman in purple skirt reminded him, covering her lips with her fan.
"That fool of the Church actually dismissed his strongest knight for a piece of unfounded rumor..." the mayor of the City of Rage said coldly. At this point, he seemed to have remembered something and began to grit his teeth: "That idiot named Lucian..."
The lazy boy suddenly raised his eyes, with a cold light in his eyes: "Watch your words."
"I forgot that there is a lady here." The mayor of the City of Rage did not understand for a moment why Noah suddenly got angry.
Noah snorted coldly. He was about to explode when he vaguely saw a flash of long gray hair outside the curtains. At that moment, his eyes lit up.
"Rest, I'm sleepy." He ended the meeting in the simplest way, "We'll have a banquet tonight, and we'll talk tomorrow."
After he hastily dropped these closing remarks, the Lord of the City of Rage looked unhappy. But Heloise's expression remained the same. She kept playing with the feather fan in her hand and holding her tongue, and no one could tell what she was thinking.
Seeing Noah walk out of the meeting room, the mayor of the City of Rage said to Heloise, "What do you think he was going to do that made him leave so suddenly?"
"Maybe it's a household chore." Heloise replied lightly.
"Family affairs..." The Lord of the City of Rage said coldly. He glanced at Heloise and remembered a rumor - he heard that Heloise's rebellious brother was found by the Lord of the City of Laziness these days.
Noah did not return him. Today in the meeting room, he thought Heloise would get angry, but Heloise smiled from beginning to end and did not mention her brother.
Perhaps the affection between the demons is indeed so weak.
Household chores…
"Family affairs? Didn't Noah's family get killed by him?" The Lord of the City of Rage said coldly, his eyes following Noah's direction, "What kind of family could he have..."
The next moment, he narrowed his eyes.
In the sunlight, a slender young man stood beside the boy, smiling at him. He had long dark gray hair, and his magic horns and tail were hidden by his magic. The magic pattern on his forehead, the face that was so familiar that it made people hate him, and the shameless hypocritical lips...
Isn't that person Lucian, the saint who defected from the Holy See and killed his admired rival, Vader
How come he is here
The man seemed to notice the gaze of the others. He turned around and smiled at the others.
"Good afternoon, Heloise." He greeted the female succubus first, "Greetings to you on behalf of your brother Eden."
system:…
"What are you doing! Lucian!" the system screamed, "Do you really want to step on the landmine?"
Lucian turned a deaf ear to this and then complained to the Lord of the City of Rage. The Lord was furious and said, "Why are you here? You shameless..."
“We are the same kind, why are you so mean to me?” Lucian said, spreading his hands.
"How dare a rat from the sewer meet people in broad daylight?" The Lord of the Wrathful City seemed extremely annoyed, "You..."
Several puppets pointed their spears at his throat.
"Watch your words." Noah said coldly, "He is my brother."
The Lord of the City of Rage stared at Lucian, so Lucian said to him politely: "Why are you so angry? It was Wade who was almost killed by me, not you."
System: 'Lucian, you...'
"You..."
"You can't blame me for that." Lucian sighed as if he wanted to provoke him on purpose, "Who made him so stupid that he actually believed me? Don't you think so? You told Wade that I was a hypocrite from the first time we met. But he still believed me... Tell me, was he obsessed with evil or lust?"
system:…
The Lord of the City of Rage looked at him gloomily, and finally walked away. The system looked as desperate as the Lord of the City.
Lucian offended someone the moment he opened his mouth.
Heloise also smiled at him and said softly, "Please be nice to my brother and the husband he has so foolishly chosen for me."
After saying that, she left too.
"Don't be angry, brother." Noah said gently, "Don't worry, I will kill the idiot in the City of Rage as soon as I get a chance and give you his head."
"Hello, brother." Lucian answered him with a narrowed eye.
"I have a lot to do this evening. I'll come to see you tonight, okay?" Noah looked at him pitifully. "It might be very late... Will my brother blame me?"
“What if I’m scared and alone?” Lucian cooperated.
Noah's eyes lit up, and he was embarrassed again: "Then I..."
Lucian: "It's okay. If you're afraid of me, just send Burton over. Even though he's already... I'm still safe watching him."
Noah: …
system:…
It heard the sound of the third thunder.
"I won't let him see you."
The next one who left with a gloomy face but still tried to act like a spoiled child to him was Noah. Lucian was so happy that he couldn't help himself. In the end, Burton walked up to him and sighed, "Lord Lucian, if you do this... Lord Noah will be angry."
"Do you hate me making fun of you?" Lucian blinked.
"No... it's just..." Burton said. Recently, Noah has been getting colder and colder towards him, and his eyes towards Lucian are getting more and more fearful. He doesn't want Lucian to get hurt.
"You didn't hate me before." Lucian said.
Burton: …
“Forget it.” Lucian sighed and said with a hint of melancholy, “Go away. It seems that in your eyes, I am just your master’s brother now.”
system:…
It watched Lucian wipe away his tears and leave, and once again began to doubt its own system life.
Lucian returned to his room, and thinking about what happened today, he couldn't help but feel angry. He covered his mouth and twitched. The system said: "Are you so happy? What you just said is just like a minesweeper game - 999 mines. Everyone present has been stabbed by you..."
Lucian: "Hehehe. At this rate, the people in the castle will soon start fighting, leaving me with a chance to escape."
System: “… I think they will just unite and beat you.”
"So when will Wade come to see me?" Lucian was a little worried, "I'm starting to get hungry."
system:…
In order to relieve his hunger, Lucian had to lie on the bed and stare blankly. At night, he went out for a walk and saw a disheveled man in the garden.
"Eden?"
"Lord Louis, I..."
Eden looked very bad, and Lucian saw that there were no people around, so he took him back to his room. Eden drank hot water and was still shivering, saying, "I heard that Heloise had arrived this morning, and I finally seized the opportunity and escaped from the room... Let's run away! Lord Louis!"
"Don't be afraid." Lucian comforted him, "Hide in my room first, I will find a way."
He was about to comfort Eden, but he heard a knock at the door. Eden trembled even more after hearing the knock. Lucian asked him to hide in the closet and open the door later.
Eden hid in the closet, and he felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest with fear.
At the moment of opening, Lucian raised his eyebrows.
"Is it you?" he said.
The mayor of the City of Rage looked at him coldly, and said with a hint of alcohol on his body: "Not welcome?"
"I'm afraid my brother won't welcome you... Ugh!"
The Lord of the City of Rage stepped past him and entered the room.
Lucian frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Let me reminisce with you." The mayor of the City of Rage said coldly, "Let's take a good look at the fate of a traitor like you."
Lucian sat leisurely beside his chair, holding his mouth, and mocked the city lord. Eden listened timidly in the closet as their conversation turned from unfriendly at the beginning to an explosion in the end. The city lord of the furious city pressed Lucian on the bed and wanted to beat him.
There was another knock on the door at the back.
The Lord of the City of Rage:…
Lucian looked at him and said, "You don't look like you're going to beat me up now, but you're going to do something else to me... My brother is here."
Lord of the City of Rage:…
"Hide." Lucian shrugged, put a finger to his lips and smiled at him, "This is to save the face of the upright Lord of the City of Wrath."
When Lucian went to open the door again, the mayor of the City of Rage had already hidden behind the curtains. Even he himself did not understand why his heart was pounding like thunder because of that sentence and why he finally hid behind the curtains.
This time, it was not Noah who came in, but Burton. Burton sat by the bed and found that something was wrong in the room, so he decided to talk to Lucian about the problem of amnesia...
"Lord Noah has expressly forbidden me from communicating with you again," Burton said, "But..."
He remained silent, lowered his eyes and said bitterly: "It's you who really gives me a very familiar feeling, maybe we have met somewhere before."
Lucian patted his shoulder and didn't want to say anything more to him.
When the door rang again, Burton was stunned. Lucian said, "We can't let Noah find out that you are here... You should hide first."
He said, stuffing Burton under the bed.
The three people who were nervous were Burton, the Lord of the City of Rage, and Eden. They hid anxiously, praying that each other would leave.
Lucian opened the door again, but was greeted by a drunken Noah. Noah spoke vaguely, grabbed his hand and tried to push him onto the bed.
Lucian struggled to throw him off his body. He didn't expect Noah to be so strong.
"Let go..."
At this moment, Lucian heard the knock again.
The knocking sound was very restrained, once, twice, three times.
"Room service." He heard a familiar and polite voice.
