Ash walked along the East Lake for a while without finding anything. Just as he was about to return, he suddenly spotted three magicians in black guarding the entrance to the lawn in the small garden next to the library. Of these three magicians, two were gold.
, a Sanctuary, as a guard, this configuration is too luxurious.
Ash's heart moved, and he jumped onto the tall lamppost nearby. From above, he saw two blond beauties sitting in the small pavilion in the garden, one of whom was Felix.
Sitting opposite her was one of the five most powerful nobles in the Starry Kingdom, a swordsman genius who could once rival Sonia, and the only blood relative of Felix——
Dimitri Vosloda.
"...This time I can make the throne room ignore your figure, but if you continue to act with them, even I can't help you cover it up." Dimi's voice was full of exhaustion and helplessness, and he looked at his sister's eyes.
With a hint of pleading.
He was wearing a blue robe and silver armor. Although it was gorgeous, it could not hide the essence of combat weapons. It was not clear whether it was for safety reasons or because he wanted to show his behavior.
"Don't you claim to be the most just and kind noble?" Felix paid no attention to his good intentions and said coldly: "Now that you inherit the title, you will immediately learn the favoritism of the nobles? The pollution effect of power is really beyond me.
Imagine."
Di Mi was silent for a moment, rubbed his temples and said, "If you were bewitched..."
"No, I voluntarily followed Miss Lena to rebel against the starry sky out of my own heart." Felix said: "But you will definitely say that I was bewitched. In short, my will cannot be my will, I must
According to your opinion, you are indeed the type of man who likes to arrange other people’s fates. Shouldn’t it be time to marry me off?”
"Within a month, the "Noble ***" will take effect again." Di Mi ignored her provocation and said seriously: "This is my last chance to help you... When I accept the blessings of the stars and officially inherit the title of Star Caster,
, the will of the country will prevail above all else, and the enemies of the stars are the enemies of Vosloda."
"From the beginning of the generation of ancestors, Vosloda has been the sharpest sword among the stars, and the most life-saving shield. The inheritance is unbroken and will burn out with the stars." Di Mi picked up the steaming black tea and looked at his reflection in the cup.
: "I will not be an exception."
"Congratulations." Felix clasped his hands on his chest and said coldly: "Next time we meet, you can try to use my head to show your loyalty. But I remind you, I am now a Holy Domain magician.
It has always been my dream to kill a Duke of Vosloda with my own hands."
Di Mi put down the teacup and took a deep breath: "What do you want when you follow them? Power? Dreams? Or friendship?"
"Why should I tell you?"
"Because I know you don't know what you want!"
Dimi suddenly slapped the marble table hard, causing cracks to appear on the tabletop. His face could no longer suppress his anger. Felix had been frightened for so many years, and this was the first time she saw her brother losing his temper.
"You only joined the Four Pillars of God to fight against the starry sky because you hate Voslodar, hate the nobility, and are bewitched by people like Deida Rose. You don't believe in the teachings of the Four Pillars of God at all. You just want to vent your anger.
The grievances and anger accumulated since childhood, you want to take revenge on this world and this country, and you hope that your father can ask for your forgiveness... It is like a child running away from home, hoping that adults can reflect on themselves!"
"But my father is no longer here," Dimi covered his face with his right hand, suppressing a hint of crying in his voice: "You can't wait for his apology anymore... and I can't wait either."
"Felix, enough trouble, go home."
"I will not interfere in your life. You can do whatever you want. I will become the Duke of Vosloda and devote myself to the stars. You do not need to bear the responsibilities of Vosloda, you only need to enjoy the glory of Vosloda... Unless
Even if the stars fall, I will protect your happiness for the rest of your life."
Felix looked at him blankly, as if he didn't expect his brother to say such a thing.
After a long time, she looked away, and the sharp paranoia on her face quietly dissipated. She held her cheek with her left hand and said softly: "It's only now that you act like a brother?"
"If you hate me——"
"No, I don't hate you." Felix shook his head gently: "You are the most perfect brother I have ever seen...Although I haven't met many...but I know you are very good and you always care about me.
I, protect me, try my best to deal with Beverly. If it weren't for you, I might have died long ago, how could I hate you?"
"I just distanced myself from you," she said, "because you are the most perfect brother, but you are the only one who is not my brother."
Di Mi looked at her blankly, as if he didn't understand what she said.
"You strive to be a perfect heir, a perfect son, a perfect brother, a perfect student, and a perfect nobleman." Felix said: "You strive for perfection in everything, even in your relationships. Because you are perfect.
Son, so you can't use thunder to stop your mother, even if she sends people to assassinate me again and again; because you are the perfect brother, you can't directly kill me, an illegitimate son, and you can only try your best to protect me."
"Mother, she——
"No, Dimi, believe me, I didn't mean to reprimand you." Felix shook his head: "Beverley dealt with me because of you. How could I be angry because my son didn't rebel against his mother's good intentions? I just
I think you are so similar to...father."
Di Mi was completely stunned. He didn't know whether it was because of Felix's comment or because Felix called him father instead of that man for the first time in many years."
You always think that this world has a perfect balance, a perfect solution, where both parties with conflicting interests can coexist." Felix said: "Father was wrong, so Beverly became a selfish and vicious mother.
, you and I both became victims."
"Now you think that I can coexist with Beverly because you are a Duke. You have the power to suppress Beverly's power and also have the power to give me freedom... Is that what you think?"
Di Mi was a little confused: "Isn't it possible?"
"My father also felt that becoming a duke should be able to have a wife and a lover at the same time." Felix said: "As a result, my mother never set foot in Vosloda's house in her life, because my father believed that having a wife at home and a lover outside was the balance point.
.”
"At that time, my father no longer loved her. He was just escaping. He couldn't face the conflicts and quarrels that would break out when they were together."
"When love is mixed with escape, all that remains is the weighing of interests."
Felix looked at his brother: "Dimi, you have never loved anyone else with all your heart, whether it is your mother or me... It does not mean that you want to deal with one party for the other, but what you pursue has never been
We can all be satisfied, but it is our balance "under certain grievances."
Di Mi shook his head: "But there are grievances and conflicts of interest between you. You hate my mother to the core, and she hates you too... You want each other to disappear immediately. It is impossible for everyone to be satisfied... The only way is for both sides to give in."
, is the best outcome for everyone."
"You haven't even tried, so you directly assert that it's impossible, because your love is also mixed with escape and full of trade-offs." Felix said: "You just want to pay the minimum price to maintain the relationship, even if the cost is you.
The grievances of the one you love.”
"But just like my father, if our mothers are allowed to live together, they will definitely hate each other and fight, and the result will be pain and grievance for everyone for the rest of their lives." Dimi couldn't help but stood up and retorted: "Isn't it better to separate?
Do you want to choose?" Felix looked at him quietly and said nothing. Dimi also realized that he was being said to be impatient. He sat down and covered his forehead, and said bitterly: "So you are... not going home?
"
"In my opinion, there are two types of scumbags."
Felix drank the black tea in one gulp, stood up and said: "One is like his father, with escape in love, and rationally conceiving a plan for everyone to reluctantly coexist."
"The other is to love whoever you love with all your heart, and to emotionally fantasize about the possibility of everyone being happy together."
"The former is wisdom and politics. The latter is likely to torture each other until they are destroyed, but it may also produce miracles."
"I don't know what I want." Felix turned around
Leave, "But what I am looking for is definitely not the former kind of love."
"Di Mi, that's your home, not mine."
"Brother, goodbye.
She walked straight out of the garden. The guard at the door wanted to stop her, but when he saw Di Mi shaking his head, he let her go. After she had walked a certain distance, she heard a farewell sentence coming from the cold wind:
"Sister, goodbye."
＊
Felix opened the miracle bracelet and saw the contact notification sent by Sonia just now. Although they were all using miracle bracelets with other people's identities, there was no guarantee that Dimi could monitor the communications in this area, and she didn't dare
After dialing back, he quickened his pace and went back.
As soon as he turned a corner, he saw a can of carbonated drink thrown in front of him. Felix subconsciously caught it and saw a cult leader sitting on the steps by the roadside.
She subconsciously turned around and looked back. Ash pulled the tab and the drink made a slurping sound. He took a big gulp and sighed with contentment before saying, "No one is following you."
Now that he said so, Felix naturally felt at ease. She thought about it and sat next to him, but she didn't drink or speak.
When Ash almost finished his drink, Felix finally couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have anything to say?"
"Huh?" Ash blinked, thought for a while and said, "I swam around the sword flower with Sword Girl today, skated on the ice of East Lake, met her roommate, and just held hands with her.
Wow, what a wonderful day."
Felix chuckled: "What kind of composition is this for a child? Even the emotions are so childlike."
"However," she said thoughtfully, "listening to you showing off your relationship with Sword Princess... makes me feel nostalgic."
Ash muttered: "I don't show off often..."
"Did you eavesdrop?" Felix asked bluntly.
"The wind carried some sounds, not eavesdropping."
"Then you have nothing to say?"
"No."
"Don't you think my reasons are...random?"
"I have three friends," Ash raised three fingers. "The first one wants to be the best hospice care provider and corpse artist, the second one wants to kill all the evil people in the world, and the third one is looking for life like you.
Meaning, but unlike you, he lies to people everywhere."
"Compared to them, you can be considered a relatively docile type."
Felix glanced at him twice and snorted: "What about you? Do you want to open a harem where all members are demigods?"
Ash's face darkened: "I didn't even mention you anymore, how could you repay kindness with hatred?"
"You only brought the Sword Girl out on a date today, and the Witches and the others are very angry." Felix raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you figured out how to make it up to them when you go back?"
"this…"
"Didn't you realize that they are very dissatisfied with Miss Lena? Miss Lena's beauty is not inferior to theirs, and she is willing to devote herself to you at any time. She looks exactly the same as the Firefly Princess, and she is also the four pillars of touch, in every sense.
They are all full of dangers. Although you have repeatedly stressed that you have no other intentions, they still inevitably think that you have ulterior motives."
"I just haven't figured out how to deal with her yet." Ya Xiu was a little depressed: "I can't let her go, I don't want to kill her, I can only keep her with me temporarily."
"The point is not Miss Lena, but you." Felix said: "They don't feel safe about you at all. No one knows whether you will suddenly fall in love with someone else, and it's not just for fun...
Who can bear to suddenly fall in love with another woman and have to fight for another woman?"
"They are secretly fighting against Sword Girl. Have you thought about how to solve them?"
"The witch keeps shouting that she wants to go to the Gospel. Have you thought about how to deal with it?"
"Everyone thinks you've been watching us take a shower, is that true?"
"No!" Ash, who almost curled up after being scolded, immediately raised his head and said, "The demigod's vision sensor is very sensitive. If you peek, you will definitely be discovered!"
"What's your experience like peeping at?
What's going on..."
Felix glanced at him with disdain, propped up his chin and said, "In short, mind your own business first, you scumbag."
"Did I remember it wrong?" Ash looked at her: "But I remember that you called us the Sword Seat and the Demon Seat before."
"You're in a bad mood today, why don't you take a rest?"
"Ah?" Ash blinked, "You just scolded Duke Vosloda, abandoned the surname Vosloda, and completely severed ties with the past. You shouldn't feel refreshed.
Really? Why are you still in a bad mood?"
Felix hugged his knees: "You are so annoying, how on earth did you deceive so many girls?"
Ash smiled softly and said: "Although Sword Girl made up her mind early on, she was still very reluctant to say goodbye. It's not that easy to say goodbye to the past. Whether you like it or hate it, it's all yours.
In life, without the past, there would be no present you. How could it be so easy to just pack it all up and throw it away?
"There are always people and things that you have to reconcile with, because without them your life would be impossible. But the way of reconciliation must be decided by ourselves. In the words of Sword Princess, "You have to be as sad as me to be considered an apology."
Ash could tell that Felix didn't really hate her brother. Even if she said it so harshly, her willingness to talk to Dimi was already an attitude. She knew clearly who was treating her well from the bottom of his heart.
She just doesn't want to accept Dimi's arrangements, even well-intentioned arrangements... because she has accepted too many "I am for your own good" arrangements. She wants to leave Voslodar and Kalashi. If she wants to resist
Xingkong was rebellious, so this time she just wanted to control her own life.
Felix was silent for a moment, slowly raised his head to look at him, and sighed helplessly.
"Has anyone ever told you that you are terrible at comforting people?"
"……have."
"And you quoted your lover, and you had to point out the source...Are you writing a paper? This will make me think you are showing off your affection."
"Yes, is that so?" Ash blinked: "I didn't expect such details at all!"
"So you are a scumbag..." Felix shook the drink in his hand: "If you want to comfort people and buy ice, but also buy carbonated drinks, you can just buy a bottle of wine, right?"
"But don't you want to drive?"
Felix looked like a fool: "I'm going to be on the run with you guys, and you still care about me driving drunk?"
She curled her lips and said, "I am a Saint Magician and a Poison Magic Saint. As long as I don't want to get drunk, I can drink the liquor you bring me as water."
"Besides... I've always had a good drinking capacity." Felix glanced at him, "Don't you know?"
"I didn't know..." Ash scratched his head and stood up, "Okay, I'll buy it for you, but I'll be the one to drive later."
As soon as Ash turned around, he felt a gentle touch on his back. The thread of longing gently hooked his soul, like a kitten's little claws pulling at the corners of his clothes.
Don't turn around."
"Don't look back."
"I don't need comfort from someone like you."
"I don't have a home anymore..."
At the other corner, Sonia was leaning against the cold wall, holding a cup of milk tea that was no longer warm in her hand. The sky had dimmed, but the street lights had not yet turned on. At the junction of shadow and darkness, the red-haired girl was biting
The shadow around the straw is like a vicious beast.
