18, late at night...

In the dark room, besides the light of this mere candle, there are only scarlet eyes that are flashing in endless darkness around them.

These eyes kept blinking, each pair staring at the girl's fair skin and her exposed neck. Some people even started to roar in their throats. If it weren't for the "rules" set by "that big man", the girl would have been eaten up immediately.

Marlene knelt silently before the throne, her eyes calm.

She was not afraid of everything around her. Or rather, she was looking forward to this kind of gaze even more.

But if she really wants to make her choose, she still hopes to choose "death" in the hands of this king and give her the greatest and happiest glory.

Above the throne, there is a "person"...

The man seemed to be wrapped in a cloak, but the dark environment could not show his image at all.

In that darkness, it seemed that even the sound of breath had disappeared. All the sounds turned into tranquility at this moment...

"Well...you'd better go. Accept the invitation from that child and have a good time."

At this time, a soft voice suddenly came from beside the throne. Gradually, a beautiful woman walked out of the "king" and looked at Marin below with a gentle face.

"That child really likes you. If that's the case, he's a child worthy of entrusting, isn't he?"

Although this woman had a gentle face, the bright redness that overflowed from her eyes was self-evident.

However, her face was filled with happiness, and she did not feel any inconvenience for her own change. As his wife, no matter what she became, as long as she could continue to wait by his side, there would be no problem.

In the darkness... the "king" still closed his eyes.

Marlene looked up slightly and saw the dark golden sword placed beside the throne.

This sword... was originally completely golden. But now, the runes on it have turned into the darkest black, and the golden light on the sword has now become dim.

but……

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that the sharpness of this sword… seems to have become even more terrifying.

After looking up, Marlin looked down immediately. She covered her chest and began to say again after hesitating for a moment -

"My king, I have another request, can I ask you to show your mercy and give me... this supreme glory?"

The scarlet pupils around them shine, as if they are excited.

However, the "king" still didn't say anything, and had not even opened his eyes to look at the girl below. Seeing this, the beautiful and gentle woman shook her head and said -

"It's not the time yet, Marlene."

"We need people who communicate with people outside. Once you carry this curse, you will never see the sun again. This is often a terrifying thing."

At this moment, Marlene suddenly stood up and she took a step, her face full of desire and excitement

"I'm not afraid that I like darkness. It doesn't matter if I can't see the sunshine. I'll ask for this kind of curse. This kind of immortality can always stay young and beautiful like my sister. It doesn't matter how much it comes. Brother, give it to me, okay?"

"Malin, you're too far off"

Seeing Marin's presumption, the gentleness on the beautiful woman's face immediately became serious. She shouted loudly, and drowned the little girl who knew nothing at all. She was shocked by the shock of Marin. Then she knelt down in disappointment and lowered her head.

In the room without light, the weak candle was like a lamb thrown into a pack of wolves, and seemed to be swallowed up at any time. The light was so small that it could no longer illuminate Marlene's face, let alone illuminate the surroundings.

After a scolding, the beautiful woman was silent for a while. After seeing this silence, she breathed a sigh of relief and her tone changed back to gentleness...

"You are still too young. This year, you are only seventeen years old. You still have too many things to see and a lot of happiness that you haven't enjoyed. Maybe one day in the future, you will lose your light. But that day is definitely not now, nor when you are so young. When the time comes, my husband and I will help you. But that is definitely not now..."

Marlene lowered her head and whispered to promise. But in a place where the beautiful woman could not see, she gritted her teeth and hummed.

Trouble woman... How could my brother choose such a woman? She is so troublesome... so troublesome that she is not worthy of becoming a "queen".

However, the beautiful woman didn't know what the sister was thinking. Seeing that she agreed, she felt a little simple in her mind and breathed a sigh of relief. After that...

"By the way, you just said, the assassin named Zelens Scarlett, invites you to attend the flower viewing festival the day after tomorrow?"

Marin paused and said, "Yes, but I don't really want to go with him. This man is in trouble. He thinks I like him and will come to bother me almost every day. Even if I avoid him, he will come."

In response, the beautiful woman shook her head, her red pupils emitted a warm luster, and said, "That's it... Just like what I said just now, go and date him. He is a master, and it will be helpful to us if he can absorb it. In addition, I can see that he is sincere to you. Although you avoid him many times, he is not discouraged at all when he didn't see you, nor forcibly break in. This kind of persistence lasted for nearly a year, and it can be said that it is very good."

"But he's just a perverted stalker"

"Abnormal, you won't take care of you so much for a year, right?"

“…………But, I don’t like him.”

Marlene gritted her teeth, raised her head slightly, and looked at the "person" sitting on the throne.

"He is an extremely scattered thing. He has nothing except his strength. He has no status, no money, no etiquette. Moreover... he looks very dirty. Looking at him anywhere, he feels that he is really rubbish."

The beautiful woman was slightly stunned and said, "Is that true? I have seen that child, and he should look ok?"

From the perspective of ordinary people, it is indeed OK. But...

Marin looked up again and looked at her brother with longing eyes. Although she couldn't see his face now, she could still imagine his handsome and beautiful appearance before...

Compared with my brother, that assassin can only be described as obscene.

"I... still don't like him very much."

"Well... it doesn't matter if you don't like it. Go and try it. See how he will treat you. You are living among us now, and it's an abnormality. But you need a 'normal' life. You need to date in the sun, have ordinary fun, and go to a coffee shop with friends. So, go and date him."

"But... he kidnapped a student last time, such a terrorist..."

Marlin felt that she could not tell the woman, so she couldn't help but throw out this truth.

But……

"So, do you really believe that the child is such a person?"

The beautiful woman smiled slightly and said -

"Is there no misunderstanding here? You should also know that the child is a little simple and a little stupid. Although there is a misunderstanding now, this misunderstanding will be resolved soon, right?"

After a long time, Marlin finally couldn't talk about that woman. Although she had been talking to herself and giving instructions to herself from the beginning to now, the little girl knew that since the "king" next to her had no reaction, it meant that her words also represented his meaning.

Finally, Marlene nodded and raised the candle in her hand.

After saluting again to the throne in front of her, she turned around and walked slowly towards the door.

When the light of the candle left, the red eyes in the dark gathered again. After a brief low voice, the music sounded again in this dance hall...

From beginning to end, the "king" never spoke a word or said a word.

He just sat like this, wrapped in a cloak, leaning on the dark golden sword, sitting on this throne, closing his eyes, nourishing his god...

The broad wind blows in the sand, and it is already deep.

But in the depths of this Goodsey mansion, when will the noisy sound last?

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――-

If you want to pick up a friend’s girlfriend, then make yourself more like a friend than a friend.

Although the idiot was not sure what Miss Goodes had to do with Zelens, it was still necessary to prepare some in advance based on the fact that the other party was a noble lady.

Tomorrow is the Flower Viewing Festival, and the streets are decorated like a sea of ​​flowers. Colorful flowers bloom on the windowsills of every household, and the rectangular flower pots lined up in the middle of the street make people feel even more pleasant. In this case, the idiot walked on the way to Xingli Store.

As always, the Rooney's family's store business is still so good. The idiot pulled the bread to prevent her from getting separated in the crowd or walking to the pepper barbecue restaurant "unconsciously". Taking advantage of the gap between the group of people leaving the shop, they squeezed in.

After years of operation, the Rooney's family's shop is no longer a small roadside stall or a tent. Xingli rented a shop and started a clothing business while the spring flowers are blooming.

Her women's clothing store is obviously very popular with some young women. Many girls will come in together, some look at the clothes and look at Xingli, while others look at Xingli directly. They feel embarrassed to look at the clothes.

Of course, there are still fewer customers with men and women as ever. Some men who want to come in at the door were dragged away by their female companions very sharply. Other men want to come in, they naturally have to bear the rolling eyes of those female customers first.
