Ye He did not wait for Revel's answer. The scene in front of him changed again. It was Freya who took his arm and walked into the manor with excitement. She was like a deer walking into the forest rashly, looking at the manor curiously. everything of.
They sat at the dining table, and the Duke sat at the other end. The sunlight poured in from the window, but the Duke's figure was shrouded in shadow. Ye He could only hear the knife and fork slowly cutting the texture of the meat. the sound of.
Freya was obviously a little nervous and awkward, and she kept sticking to Revel's side. Revel lowered his head and whispered a few words of comfort to her, and she gradually relaxed, and even acted coquettishly toward each other as before when the two of them were alone.
But soon, the Duke forcefully joined the conversation between the two people. He casually asked about Freya's identity and family background. Freya was very flattered, and soon she gave him the answer.
Ye He heard the Duke's smiling voice: "Very good."
Revell's body obviously relaxed, and he obviously thought that the Duke had agreed to the matter between him and Freya, and said quite relaxedly: "Yes, she is a very good girl, and we will get married in a while. ."
Ye He could feel that although Revel was a little afraid of the Duke at certain times, he was a good friend who grew up with him after all, so he still hoped that the Duke could attend the important occasion of the wedding.
Freya heard Revel's words and shyly leaned on his shoulder. As they have been dating for some time, they have also discussed getting married. When Revell saves some money, he will propose marriage to Freya's father.
The knife and fork in the Duke's hand fell to the ground with a "clang" sound. The servant on the side hurriedly handed over the new knife and fork. However, the Duke had no intention of accepting it and just looked at the two people sitting opposite. , and after a while he said calmly: "Let's eat."
His voice suddenly became cold, as if he didn't hear what Revel just said.
Revel and Freya looked at each other and said no more.
After showing off to the Duke that he was with Freya, Revel no longer concealed his whereabouts, and Freya often waited for him openly at the gate of the manor.
Revell's position in the manor is equivalent to that of the Duke's housekeeper, so he doesn't have much work on weekdays. After instructing the servants on today's arrangements, he can go out to play with Freya.
Sometimes when Revell went to the door to look for Freya, she would raise her hands and cover her shoulders and whisper that she always felt a shadowy gaze filled with jealousy. Revell looked in the direction Freya said, and realized that the direction the other party mentioned was coming from the Duke's room.
He smiled and comforted Freya not to think too much. After all, there was obviously no one at the window, and why did the Duke have to do this.
After hearing Revel say that was the Duke's room, Freya realized that she must have been overthinking it. She naturally raised her hand to hold Revel's arm, leaned her head on his shoulder affectionately, and whispered how long she had been waiting for Revel today.
Sometimes the Duke would join them and go on outings with them in a carriage. Only when the Duke was around, Freya could hardly get in a word. She could only watch the Duke pull Revel around and talk about topics she didn't understand. Not to mention Freya, even Ye He looked at it from the perspective of a bystander. , all feel that Freya is more like a light bulb.
But not long after such a day, Revere found that Freya was obviously not willing to wait for him at the gate of the manor, and she even meant to distance herself from him. Even if Ye He takes the initiative to find Freya, she often avoids him.
Revel didn't know the reason for Freya's sudden coldness towards him, which made him always couldn't help but wonder if he had done something wrong. Revell also wrote a letter to Freya, asking Freya's friends to pass it on to her, but nothing happened.
But what was completely different from his bleak love affair was the Duke's mood. The other party didn't know what happy things had happened recently, and he was in a very happy mood. He even took the initiative to ask Revel why he was acting so sad.
After knowing that he was sad because of Freya, the Duke ruffled his hair as usual as a comfort: "Don't be sad, I think she is not worthy of you, I will help you find a better one." object."
Revel did not speak. Freya was his first lover, not to mention that they had already reached the point of talking about marriage, so he did not want to find anyone else.
After the inexplicable breakup with Freya, Revel also found that the Duke was a little clingy to him, and Revel also began to become busy and had no time to go in and out of the manor.
As for the person the Duke was talking about, there was not even a shadow - Ye He suspected that writing empty checks was an essential skill for every boss.
Time passed like a tide. If it hadn't been for a letter that appeared later, Ye He felt that Revel would have slowly forgotten Freya.
Three months after Freya took the lead in alienating Revere, Revere received a letter from Freya, in which she asked how Revere was doing recently.
Revelle's fading memory of Freya became vivid again. Although he was a little angry at the other party's previous indifference, after all, Freya was his friend and first love, so he still replied to the other party's letter.
But this letter seemed to turn on some switch, and the correspondence between the two people began to become frequent again. Because Freya had previously told her not to let others discover the correspondence between them, Revell always gave the letters directly to Freya's friends when they were out shopping, and then the other party handed them over, and the two of them also met during the period. They already had a lot of common memories after meeting each other, so this trip was not awkward.
With letters one after another and occasional meetings, the relationship between the two began to heat up again. Freya asked Revel directly in her heart if she still liked him, and Revel also wrote a positive answer.
What he didn't expect was that Freya's next letter was to wish him to stay away from the Duke, accusing him of taking up too much of their time in their previous relationship.
Ye He looked at the familiar words on the letter and remembered the letter he saw in his dream.
Revere showed some hesitation when he saw Freya's letter. After all, apart from the fact that he and the Duke were brothers who grew up together, he was also the Duke's servant. Of course, it was impossible to alienate him.
Revel explained the truth to Freya seriously in the letter, but unexpectedly the letter was not sent—it was intercepted in the hands of the Duke.
Ye He finally saw the Duke's face for the first time. He looked younger than Cesar, with handsome and sharp features, and deep anger in his green eyes.
After what happened the night before, Ye He felt that he had already acquiesced in his heart that the Duke and Cesar had the same face, so he was not too surprised when he saw two people with similar looks.
The Duke did not expect that there was still a connection between Revel and Freya, and Revel's carefully written letter turned into a crumpled ball of paper between his clenched fingertips. He had already memorized the contents of the letter, and sternly asked Revel where he had hidden Freya's last letter, and how long it had been since he had resumed contact with Freya.
Revel had previously thought that the Duke was angry because he did not tell him about his new relationship with Freya, until the Duke suddenly confessed directly: "Revere, I love you."
"Only I can take care of you."
Even if he didn't know the expression of this body at this time, Ye He could guess how shocked Revel was at this moment. Ye He could understand the shock. After all, not long ago the Duke had grandly said that he would help Revel find a good partner. , and now he confessed directly.
Ye He felt that Revel's body was retreating continuously until it reached the cold wall behind him, with no way to retreat.
Revere never mentioned Freya's name when he was at the manor before, which made the Duke very satisfied. Even if Revel hasn't accepted him yet, he feels that as long as Revell and Freya stop contacting him, Revell will one day make a more correct choice.
What the Duke didn't expect was that there was still a connection between Revel and Freya, and this time Freya actually started to persuade Revere to stay away from her, which almost touched the Duke's Achilles' heel.
The Duke did not allow Revere to retreat any further. His slender fingers clasped the opponent's shoulders forcefully, trying to hold the other person into his arms, but Revere struggled subconsciously.
The Duke's knuckles stiffened, and he had obviously seen Revere's rejection from the other party's struggle. His low voice was a little hoarse due to the loss of control: "We obviously grew up together, and I understand you best. person, why did you choose her?!"
It was probably the first time that Revere saw the out-of-control Duke. He did not speak, nor did Tifreya's name provoke him at this time.
The Duke hugged Revere forcefully. Revere trembled suddenly and raised his hand to push him away. However, he heard the Duke whisper in his ear: "If you try to push me away again, don't blame me." She does something."
Hearing the Duke's words, Revel's body stiffened, but he still put down his hand obediently.
After completely tearing apart the facade of friendly brothers, Revere finally realized why the Duke felt so slightly wrong with him in his life. The Duke no longer pretended to be himself. He did not allow Revere to leave the manor anymore, nor did he allow any more letters to be exchanged between Revere and Freya. He even asked his servants to find all the letters Freya had sent before, but there was still one thing. The letter could not be found - it was the letter that made the Duke so angry and sow discord with Freya.
Revell was once again cut off from Freya, and he could feel that the Duke's actions towards him after his confession were somewhat undisguisedly ambiguous. Revel tried to comfort the Duke while trying to contact Freya.
The opportunity finally came. The Duke had to go back to the imperial capital because of something urgent. However, Revere deliberately pretended to be sick and lay in bed, pretending that he could not follow the Duke, so the other party had to leave Revere and a group of servants in the manor.
Shortly after the Duke left, Revere excused himself from the servant and sneaked out. In the back garden of Freya's house, he finally saw him again, but this time Revere came to meet Freya. Ya broke up.
He had been with the Duke for so long and knew the other person's methods best, so he thought over and over that the best way to protect Freya was to break up with her.
In order not to worry Freya, he did not tell the real reason why he wanted to break up, but Freya said that she already knew everything.
Hearing Freya's words, Revel looked confused, but before he could ask, Freya's eyes were already red, and she suddenly threw herself into Revel's arms, interrupting his inquiry.
Ye He felt tears wet his shoulders, and in his ears was Freya's crying voice: "I don't want to break up with you, I really want to be with you, let's elope."
Revel didn't answer, seeming to be hesitating.
Freya raised her head and looked at Revell with a pitiful expression: "Don't you want to elope with me? Are you reluctant to part with the glory and wealth in the manor, or...or are you reluctant to part with the Duke?"
Hearing the word "Duke", Revere finally reacted. He gently held Freya's shoulders and asked, "What do you know?"
Freya cried and said: "Have you not always been curious about why I suddenly alienated you? I thought the relationship between you two was strange before. I went to the manor to look for you that day and happened to meet the Duke. He told I love you, keep me away from you, otherwise you will kill me..."
Revell didn't know that there was such a secret behind Freya's alienation. After knowing that Freya had been receiving death threats because of him, his voice suddenly became filled with guilt: "I'm sorry, I don't know any of this... . ... "
Freya grabbed his clothes and said with tears: "I want to be with you, but I don't want to be killed. Take me away and let's live in another place..."
Revel heard Freya's words and finally nodded, and then a smile appeared on Freya's face.
Both of them knew they couldn't elope empty-handed, so they separated after agreeing on a date. After Revel returned to the room, the servant who was dismissed returned to the room.
But for some reason, Ye He didn't move with Revel this time. He stood there blankly, feeling as if he was left here.
Freya's door was opened again. She was still wearing the beautiful white dress when they first met, and she was carrying a small bag behind her. However, she stopped after taking a few steps and stared blankly at the few people in front of her. The figure looked a bit frightened: "Duke...Duke?"
"Where did Revel go?" the Duke asked coldly: "You are still in contact with him. Have you forgotten what I said before?"
After discovering that Revel was missing, the Duke sent people to continue searching in various places, and then came directly to Freya's house. His intuition told him that Freya must have something to do with this matter, and the guilty look on Freya's face after hearing his words instantly verified his guess.
The Duke looked at Freya with uncontrollable murderous intent in his eyes: "Didn't you approach Revel because you wanted to get close to me? What are you doing now?"
Hearing the Duke's words, Freya raised her head and gritted her teeth and said, "I thought so before, but now I really like Revel, and he also likes me."
"If you kill me, I guarantee you won't be able to find him again."
The agreed place she and Revel chose was a mountain road that the two of them had accidentally discovered before. It was inaccessible. Although the probability that the Duke could find it was not impossible, it was very small.
Just as Freya guessed, even if she was lying, the Duke couldn't afford to bet on "never seeing Revel".
The Duke looked at her carefully and suddenly sneered: "You want to elope? Are you really willing to give up your current identity and accompany him?"
Freya hesitated for a few seconds and wanted to say that she was willing, but soon she heard the Duke say: "Even if you successfully elope, I will make you a fugitive in the entire royal city. You can only hide in Tibet, and if you are lucky, you will be in hiding." In a room, if you have bad luck and live under a bridge, everything you have now will be in vain."
After Freya heard this, her expression froze: "Revel, he will raise..."
The Duke looked at her steadily and interrupted directly: "Expect Revere to support you like before? I will catch him as soon as he shows up, and the savings you two carry can support you without working. when?"
Ye He understood from Freya's face at this moment that the other party's talk of elopement was just a whim. How could she, who had lived in an ivory tower since childhood, consider what the Duke said.
Her expression faded several times, and she was finally defeated by the Duke's last words: "As long as you tell me the location agreed upon with Revel, I can give your father the piece of land that he wanted most a few days ago. He, and your worth will naturally rise as you come into contact with other nobles."
Freya's pupils shrank suddenly, and after a long moment of silence, she finally revealed the location she and Revel had agreed on.
She has made her choice.
Seeing that the Duke turned around without hesitation after hearing this, Freya hesitated and asked: "Will you hurt Revel?"
The Duke did not answer, and even Ye He could tell that Freya asked this question just for her own peace of mind.
Freya suddenly snorted. Ye He moved his eyes away from the Duke and turned around to see that she was covering her neck. Blood flowed from her fingers and fell on the white skirt. He fell to the ground with his eyes widened.
A servant stood behind Freya at some point. The servant put away the blood-stained blade and bowed respectfully to the Duke.
The scene in front of him suddenly became blurry as if a filter had been added. Ye He tried to open his eyes to see clearly, but it was of no use.
Before losing consciousness, Ye He heard the Duke's relaxed voice: "Sure enough, we should get rid of her completely to avoid future troubles."
Ye He woke up from his dream. He opened his eyes and met Cesar's gem-like turquoise eyes. He was held in the arms of the other party, and Cesar was caressing his facial features with his eyes obsessively.
At this time, Cesar seemed to have coincided with the face of the Duke in the dream, which made Ye He's body tremble subconsciously, but the Duke hugged him tighter.
The Duke rubbed his neck, and the bright golden hair fell on Ye He's neck, causing a slight itch: "You're awake."
"Tomorrow is our wedding, so we must wake up early."
... ... .tomorrow
Didn't expect that it would be the sixth day as soon as he opened his eyes
Ye He didn't know when the Duke came back. Just when he wanted to ask the system, the system's voice sounded in his ears at the right time: "It was past eleven o'clock last night, but you were already asleep and unconscious."]
If Ye He didn't love sleeping very much on weekdays, the system would even wonder if the other party was relying on sleep to avoid another kind of sleep.
But it was obvious that Ye He really just fell asleep.
If he hadn't been in Cesar's arms, Ye He would have really wanted to share with the system the ups and downs of his dream he had last night. However, the Duke suddenly mentioned the wedding, which reminded Ye He of his current situation. Due to the situation, he couldn't help but lower his head and glance at the collar around his neck.
Fortunately, the system has exempted him from the money he needs to pay while sleeping, otherwise Ye He would probably achieve the achievement of "die with a collar in his sleep".
Seeing Ye He lowering his head and looking at the chain around his neck, the Duke naturally guessed what the other party was thinking. He rubbed the collar with his fingertips and said casually: "I will untie it for you when the time comes."
He has asked the housekeeper to replace the handover wine with medicinal wine that can give birth to children. When the time comes, he will use another method to lock Ye He.
Ye He had no idea what the Duke was thinking. After all, as long as he was still alive tomorrow, he could complete his mission and leave this world.
Unexpectedly, the system seemed to have heard Ye He's thoughts and said sadly: [No, you can't hold a wedding, or more accurately say an oath, with Cesar tomorrow at all.]
[If your wedding is recognized by the Lord God, either he will follow you to every world, or you will stay in this instance with him forever.]
But for staying in the dungeon, Ye He's lifespan is obviously not enough.
Ye He: "... Who made this marriage law? Don't you know that couples sometimes need to keep distance from each other?"
The system lowered the volume: [Lord God.]
[After experiencing a complicated relationship, he finally returned to being single.]
Ye He: "......"
If he hadn't been afraid that the Lord God would hear him, he would have really wanted to say, "No wonder he ended up single."
Looking at Cesar in front of him, Ye He swallowed silently. He knew that he would never hold a wedding with Cesar tomorrow.
But as long as you don't swear an oath...
Just when Ye He thought he saw hope, he felt Cesar kiss his forehead: "We must swear to be together forever. Even in the next life and the next life, you must belong to me."
Ye He: "... ..... Can I just take an oath?"
After hearing Ye He's words, Cesar's expression darkened: "You are still resisting me now?"
