Quick Travel: The host must die in every plane
Chapter 186: The Amnesiac Bride of the Vampire (14)
At this point in the game, the meaning of the game has long been lost.
Su Ye angrily chose to surrender.
Duke Eric couldn't understand the meaning of her action and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong? Don't you want to continue?"
"You win."
"Why? You have a huge advantage and are about to win. Why should you admit defeat?"
Su Ye was a little angry about Duke Eric's robbery at all costs.
Because in her opinion, playing chess should be a serious matter. The quality of chess reflects the character, and the chess game is like life. If you don't respect the chess game, you don't respect yourself, and you don't respect your opponent.
But she calmed down and thought for a moment, and felt that what she was doing was a bit too strict.
After all, Duke Eric is just a novice and does not understand the rules of Go and the culture it represents. She should not ask him for the demands of a chess player.
After thinking about this, she began to slowly explain to him.
"I'm sorry, I just lost my composure. I just think that your attitude towards this game of chess is not serious enough, which is not good."
"Sometimes playing chess is like life. Every move must be carefully considered before making a move. Otherwise, if you make a wrong move, you may lose the whole game."
"You just made a lot of self-sacrifice for no reason in order to rob, but until the last moment, you have no idea whether you can win the robbery."
"Rather than scarring yourself for an unknown result, it is better to abandon that useless chess piece in time."
Su Ye's words were not only teaching Duke Eric how to play chess, but also admonishing himself.
Life is like a chess game, you have to know how to choose, otherwise you will end up getting nothing and being riddled with holes.
After hearing this, Duke Eric smiled slightly and said, "But you can't give up everything easily, can you?"
At this point, his eyes dimmed a lot, "If that so-called useless chess piece was your relative or lover, would you also abandon it?"
Faced with his questions, she didn't know how to answer them.
Because she has never thought about this problem.
On the first day she woke up in this castle, all she could think about was how to leave this place.
Later, she learned that she had a younger sister in the hands of bad guys. All she wanted to do was how to rescue her sister and then take her out of the city with her.
In her opinion, blood kinship is the deepest bonding relationship in the world.
So she can put herself in dangerous situations for her loved ones.
As for her lover, she doesn't have one yet, so she doesn't know either.
Seeing that Su Ye hesitated for a long time without answering, Duke Eric asked another question.
"Have you ever been abandoned? Have you ever experienced the feeling of being abandoned by everyone?"
Su Ye shook her head. She didn't know why, but at this moment she seemed to see an emotion called sadness in Duke Eric's eyes for the first time.
Duke Eric continued: "I have experienced that in order to protect this city, I became the one who was abandoned."
He said this in a very relaxed tone.
But to Su Ye's ears, it felt extremely heavy.
It turns out that there is such a great sadness hidden in this seemingly extremely noble and powerful vampire.
She wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know how to speak.
His mouth opened and closed, but no comforting words came out.
She was extremely tangled in her heart, and when she raised her eyes, she suddenly met Duke Eric's firm gaze.
He said: "If that piece were you, I would never give it up."
His eyes were too hot, more dazzling than the midday sun, making Su Ye dare not look directly.
After hearing this, if she still doesn't understand Duke Eric's feelings for her, then she is really a fool.
But wasn't this her purpose in the first place?
Now that her goal was achieved, she didn't feel happy.
Because he had personally experienced the pain of being abandoned, he said he would never abandon her.
But on her chessboard, he had become the pawn that she was about to abandon.
She wanted to use his sacrifice in exchange for her sister's life and the freedom she longed for.
Duke Eric's firm gaze made her feel like a shameless villain who wanted to achieve his own goals at the expense of innocent people.
At this moment, her heart began to waver.
She did not dare to face Duke Eric's eyes and left the study on the excuse of feeling unwell.
Since she recovered from her last illness and returned to the castle, Duke Eric no longer forced her to live in the same room with him, and arranged for her to live in the room next to his own.
After leaving the study, Su Ye locked himself in the room and thought about it for a whole night without eating or drinking.
But until dawn, she didn't think of a way to save her sister while not hurting innocent people.
Gradually, sleepiness came over her, and she was about to go to bed and rest for a while, when she suddenly heard a noise coming from next door.
She quickly ran to the door to check out of curiosity and found that Duke Eric had left the room and walked upstairs.
Lucas once told her that she could enter and leave freely anywhere in the castle, except the top floor of this building.
But according to Duke Eric's sleep schedule, it should be time to go to bed now.
Running to that mysterious top floor at this time, there must be something weird.
She decided to follow them secretly, but when she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered that vampires have very sensitive hearing and smell, and she would definitely be discovered if she followed them like this.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, she finally decided to wait until Duke Eric came back and then sneak upstairs while she was asleep.
So the wait lasted two hours.
The longer she waited, the more curious she became about what mysterious things were upstairs and what shady things Duke Eric was doing upstairs.
It was almost noon, when the sun was strongest, that Duke Eric finally came back.
Su Ye held her breath and clung to the wall to eavesdrop on the movement next door. She felt that he was almost asleep when he tiptoed out the door.
Noon is when vampires are at their weakest. Generally, all vampires in the castle will hide in dark places to rest at this time.
So she went upstairs without any hindrance.
She was originally worried that the room upstairs would be locked, after all, Lucas had specifically told her not to go upstairs.
But she walked to a room and tried to open the door, but it opened easily.
Perhaps because Duke Eric lives downstairs, no one usually comes to this floor, so it is not locked on purpose.
After walking around upstairs, she found that almost all the rooms upstairs were empty bedrooms. It looked like no one had lived in them for a long time, except for a room at the end of the corridor.
The room was filled with wooden shelves, and each wooden shelf was covered with a white cloth.
Su Ye walked to the largest wooden frame and lifted the white cloth.
