Shengshuiyuan

The originally very pleasant dinner was disrupted by the appearance of Viscount Rehart, the dinner ended hastily, and everyone went back to their room to rest with their own concerns.

Marquis Luno frowned lightly, watched everyone go back to their room to rest, and suddenly called out to Rantier softly.

"Your Highness, if it is convenient, can I have a chat with you?"

Seeing Lantiere who was stopped by the Marquis of Luno, Li Muyan also stopped and turned to look over.

Lantiere nodded lightly and looked at Li Muyan, expressing his reassurance.Only then did Li Muyan let go of his guard and went back to his room to rest.

Marquis Bruno's room

Asking the waiter to bring the fruit plate, Marquis Luno said with a sad face

"Your Highness, are you curious about the relationship between our brothers and uncle?"

Light bites of watermelon, Rantiyerdao

"Please speak, Marquis."

Exhaled lightly, Marquis Luno hesitated to speak

"Although he is an uncle, His Highness also knows that our two brothers are the adopted sons of our father. When the two of us brothers were brought to this house, he hated us very much. For our son who has no blood relationship with his father, his father I have always been very dissatisfied with becoming a Marquis after my death. It is not uncommon to be provoked so many times.”

As if recalling the happy past, Marquis Luno slightly raised his lips and smiled softly with his eyes full.

"Although he always hated us, father and mother liked us very much and treated us as their own. Before we were adults, our family was very happy. Until the death of father and mother, his attitude towards us became more and more serious. Difference..."

Patting Marquis Luno on the shoulder, Lantierre comforted

"Perhaps, one day your relationship with him will be better."

Marquis Luno smiled wryly

"hope so..."

Li Muyan's room

Li Muyan, who was making the bed, asked before looking up

"How was the chat with the Marquis?"

The visitor closed the door, played with the black jade flute in his hand, pursed his lips lightly and said with a faint smile

"The Marquis is a very interesting person, but looking at his unrelated uncle, his uncle should do some interesting things soon."

Turning around lightly, Li Muyan sat on the bed, looked at the blond boy who seemed to be waiting for a good show, and said with eyes full of interest.

"So when the time comes, are you going to watch the play from the sidelines, or help?"

Lantiere stopped playing with the jade flute, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled meaningfully.

Not far away, a snow-covered hill.A boy with cat ears and brown hair sat on the hill with eyes full of loneliness, looking at the full moon behind the snow, his eyes were full of sadness, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Just as the young man was immersed in his thoughts, a man in a fine fur coat approached the young man lightly.Lightly drape a warm thick fur cloak over the boy.asked with concern

"What are you thinking about?"

Feeling the warm cloak on his body, the boy lowered his head and smiled wryly.

"Before we were adopted by our father, we lived in the cold north all year round. We only wanted a warm place, and those who had a stutter were already satisfied. Now more than ten years have passed, and we don't have to worry about food and clothing. Except for the deceased father Mother, others have never tolerated us."

Instead, the boy clenched his palms and gritted his teeth lightly.

"Especially, that so-called uncle. I wish we could die soon!"

Sighing softly, the man sitting next to the young man frowned lightly, held the young man's fingernail embedded in his palm, held his palm with distressed eyes, stroked the imprint left by the young man's too hard nails, and said softly

"After all, we are not biological, although our parents have treated us very well. We have done what we should do. It is impossible for us to let everyone agree with us. Besides, the north has been very rich in recent years. And..."

The brown-haired man with animal ears was full of doting eyes, stroking the boy's hair and said:

"I only have you as my relative, so you must be well. I don't care about other people's gossip and strange eyes."

Looking at his elder brother who loved him as always, the brown-haired boy was moved, and like a child, he threw himself into the arms of the cat-eared man and cried loudly.

Caressing the sobbing boy in his arms, the man's eyes were full of melancholy, and he looked at the full moon in the sky and fell into thought. . . .

In order to express the friendship of the landlord, the Marquis of Luno invited several people from Lantiere to a green land with a natural hot spring in the afternoon after two days of rare snow stop.Let's have afternoon tea together in this hot spring.

Looking at the warm spring, next to the hazy hot natural hot spring, all kinds of cute animals and Carter are playing freely and freely.Not only did Lantiere look around in a happy mood, he took a delicious pastry from Marquis Luno, took a bite and said,

"I didn't expect that there is such a beautiful and warm place in the north where there has been a heavy snowfall for 500 years."

Marquis Luno, who took a sip of fruit tea, smiled lightly and introduced this hot spring green tunnel

"The legend of this hot spring green land was created by His Majesty's ancestors when he traveled to the north in his leisure time and accidentally created it with magic. Since then, it has been different from the severe cold in other places in the north. It is like spring all year round, and the hot springs are warm and suitable. Mu coming here is also a rare relaxation after busy work."

Looking at the people playing with the animals not far away, Tim turned his head to look at Marquis Luno and said eagerly.

"Brother, can I go play with them?"

Raising his hand and gently stroking the top of his brother's hair, Marquis Luno smiled lightly and said

"Go, be safe."

Seeing the Marquis brother happily like a child, he quickly got along with everyone.Lantierre instinctively opened his mouth to eat the dried fruit that Li Muyan fed him, and asked Marquis Luno:

"The Marquis really dotes on your younger brother. I also had a younger sister, but she is ten years younger than me and she is seven years old this year."

Looking at his happy younger brother, Marquis Luno said

"Both of our parents died when we were young, and he suffered more than me. So, now I naturally want to give him the best."

Just as Lantiere and Marquis Luno were having a good time chatting, a big dog with a height of half a person and a white body like a fox approached the three of them with eyes full of curiosity.When the Marquis of Luno saw the big dog approaching him with eyes full of innocence and curiosity, he, who had a calm personality, suddenly screamed with horror in his eyes. Before everyone could react, he quickly moved his hands and feet and used jump sticks to stand upright. on Li Muyan, trembling with fright

"Whoah!!! Dog!!!"

Turning his head, Marquis Luno looked down at the big dog with its tongue sticking out and its obedient blue eyes looking at him, yelling in a complete loss of composure.

Lightly shaking his shoulders, Lantierre held back a smile, looked at Marquis Luno, whose dog had completely lost his composure, and turned to hold the dog's furry two front paws with a smirk, and patted the shocked Marquis on the shoulder with the dog pad and said

"So the Marquis is afraid of dogs?"

Feeling the dog's furry front paws touching him, Marquis Luno yelled out of control

"Take it away! Take it away! I'm afraid!"

Hearing his brother's terrified cry, Tim, who stopped playing, approached quickly with eyes full of anger, drew out his sword and wanted to attack Lantiere, who was "teasing" his brother with his dog's paw, but was caught by the latter Dodge easily.

Asking his servants to take the big dog away, Marquis Luno, with a pale face, got off the dark and sullen Li Muyan very apologetically, straightened his wrinkled clothes and said,

"I'm very sorry, I lost my temper just now. Because I was chased and bitten by a dog when I was a child. Although the dog is very cute, I am still instinctively afraid of the dog."

Just as everyone was joking and joking, the ground suddenly shook violently when everyone was unaware.

In the panic of everyone, three giant brown spotted snakes with a height of hundreds of meters jumped out of the ground and roared at everyone.On the head of one of the golden-eyed giant snakes was a tall werewolf in armor.Looking at Marquis Luno who was looking up at him with eyes full of arrogance, he turned his eyes full of sternness and said:

"You guys had a lot of fun, I'm going to let you all die here today!"

Beside the crowd, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in black clothes suddenly appeared on the tree with murderous intent in their eyes.Raising the sword in his hand, he quickly sprinted and attacked the people in Lantiere.In the sky, hundreds of gigantic vultures moved with ferocious eyes.

Marquis Luno bit his lip tightly, and turned his head to look at the guards behind him and Lantiyer's friends who were already fighting with Viscount Rehart's men and hundreds of huge spirit beasts.In an instant, the angry cry of a group of yaks broke the quiet and beautiful hot spring green space.A wolf spirit beast couldn't dodge in time, and was stabbed by a yak horn, and blood flowed profusely immediately.Marquis Luno exhaled lightly, raised his finger and whistled, summoning a giant owl.The owl spread its wings, nimbly flew to the back of the yak, and severely pecked the yak's eyes blind.Li Muyan raised his magic bow with one hand, pulled the string of the bow, and several spiritual arrows turned into streaks of white light piercing the sky at an extremely fast speed, shooting towards hundreds of densely packed vultures in the sky.Babur, who was standing on the grass, swung his epee and cut down three or four enemies with one sword. He laughed loudly.

"This is much more exciting than usual practice!"

You Ze lightly squinted his eyes and raised his lips, transformed into a blue dragon body, and let out a loud cry to the sky, wreaking havoc among yaks and wolves, flying blood everywhere he went.Marquis Luno spread out his palms, and the palms gathered glaring lightning. His body was surrounded by lightning and quickly swooped towards the dense enemy yak herd. Wherever he went, the giant yaks and jackals were instantly turned into charred by the lightning.

During the chaotic battle, everyone was in danger, lest they would be killed by yaks, wolves, and ferocious enemy soldiers when they turned around.

Looking at the people who were fighting fiercely, Lantiere raised his hand and pointed at his fingers and blew a loud whistle. He followed his mount white reindeer and quickly swooped into the battlefield. Lantiere quickly straddled the white reindeer, and the reindeer He lowered his head and quickly stabbed several jackals to the ground with the horns on his head.

When everyone was trying their best to resist the spirit beasts in the sky and the ground, when Tim was defenseless, a figure approached quickly and was about to sneak attack Tim.Just when everyone thought Tim would be attacked by the opponent, a figure quickly approached and blocked Tim.

Just as Tim reacted, he saw that his brother who was standing in front of him was hit in the chest by the sneak attacking Viscount Rehart, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from the mouth of Marquis Luno.

With a pale face, the Marquis Luno resisted the sharp pain in his chest, held the long sword in Tim's hand, and stabbed the chest of Viscount Rehart in front of him without any mistakes. He slightly pursed his lips, and looked at the shocked Viscount Rehart. In a pool of blood.Marquis Luno finally couldn't bear the pain coming from his chest, and his eyes darkened and he passed out.

Back at the castle, looking at the Marquis Luno who was lying on the bed with blood on his chest, Lantiere lowered his head to check the injury and said

"The injury is very serious now. If it is not treated as soon as possible, the consequences will be disastrous."

Looking nervously at his brother who was seriously injured, Tim grabbed Lantiere's arm and said

"Then hurry up and save my brother!"

Frowning tightly, Lantiere hesitated to speak, looked at the young man who was holding his wrist tightly and said,

"Seeing that he is seriously injured, there is only one way to save him."

Tim, sad-eyed, said aloud

"Quickly tell me what it is!"

Looking at the crowd, Lantier approached Tim and whispered something, and the next moment Tim opened his eyes in disbelief.Biting his lips tightly and lowering his head, Tim watched as he cared for him since he was a child, and saved his life again.The elder brother who was dying turned to smile wryly.A line of tears flowed from the pupil.As if he had made up his mind, Tim looked at Lantiel with firm eyes and said

"Let's do this, cure my brother as soon as possible!"

Lantiere nodded solemnly and said,

"I will."

After everyone left the room, Tim knelt down by the bed and held Marquis Luno's hand against his face.full of reluctance

"Brother, the happiest thing for me is to be your younger brother, but... I'm sorry..."

Marquis Bruno's room

Frowning lightly, he woke up Marquis Luno from his lethargy, and lightly pressed his aching temple.Looking at his room with a slight frown, he was a little dazed for a while.

Just as the Marquis of Luno was in a daze, the door was opened from the outside, and a pale blond boy walked into the room with a medicine bowl in his hand and said

"You haven't fully recovered yet, lie down quickly."

Taking the medicinal bowl from Lantierre, looking at the thick medicinal juice in the bowl, the Marquis Luno swallowed and drank the medicinal juice in one gulp.Putting down the medicine bowl, looking around with eyes full of doubts, asked

"Your Highness, have you seen my brother, Tim? How is he? Are you all right?"

Hearing that the Marquis of Luno mentioned Tim, Lantiere, who wanted to pick up the preserved fruit to give the Marquis of Luno an antidote to the bitterness of the medicine, not only shook his hand, but the preserved fruit in his hand fell to the ground.

Seeing the usually calm Lantiere suddenly pale with a strange expression, Marquis Luno, whose body has not yet recovered, asked Lantierre very nervously.

"You...you tell me! Tim! What happened to Tim?!"

Rantier lowered his head and closed his eyes tightly and apologized.

"I'm sorry, but it's Tim's own choice."

As if he knew what was about to happen, the bloodless face of Marquis Luno became even paler.

"Tim... What the hell is going on! Tell me!"

Clenching palms, Lantiere walked to the door and said

"Come with me, but you have to be mentally prepared."

Following Lantiere to Tim's room, he looked at his younger brother who was usually lively and cheerful on the bed, but he closed his eyes tightly and lay motionless on the bed.As if knowing something, Marquis Luno moved his hands trembling, approaching Tim who was lying on the bed in disbelief, his eyes blurred by tears.Marquis Luno knelt down in front of Tim's bed, stretched out his trembling hands to hold Tim's cold hand lying on the bed, and smiled wryly.

"Tim, I'm brother, get up! Don't play, brother is ready. You... get up!"

Looking at Tim who was still unresponsive to his calling, Marquis Luno held Tim's hand tightly and shouted

"Tim, you answer brother! Get up!!"

I can't bear the picture in front of me behind me, Lantiere said

"Your heart is seriously injured, and it can only be cured by changing your heart. Only your only brother, he is the most suitable to do it. Therefore, he agreed to exchange his heart for you without hesitation."

Frowning lightly, Rantiyer continued.

"Tim wants me to bring you a sentence: brother, since childhood, you have given me the best, now it is my turn to give you the most important thing, and you will not be by my side in the future. Brother, live well for me. If there is an afterlife, can I be your younger brother again?"

After listening to Lantierre's words, the Marquis of Luno could no longer restrain his emotions and cried while hugging Tim's cold corpse

"Do not!!!!"

He wanted to raise his hand to comfort Marquis Luno, but put down Lantierre and said

"The beating heart in your chest is given to you by your brother. Whatever he likes, help him realize it from now on."

After finishing speaking, looking at Marquis Luno who was still immersed in grief, Lantiere frowned slightly, left the room, and closed the door.

Li Muyan, who was waiting outside the room, looked at Rantiyer with a sad expression and said

"It's Tim's choice, don't blame yourself..."

Lantiere frowned and closed his eyes.

A few days later, the Marquis Luno, who looked obviously haggard, with the blackness under his eyes, walked before Lantiere and his party.Marquis Luno looked at the worried-eyed Rantiel and said,

"Your Highness, don't worry. Since Tim wants me to live well for him, I will live well for him and govern the North."

After seeing off Lantiere and his party, Marquis Luno came to a large, spacious room filled with cold air. In the middle of the room lay a boy with brown hair and animal ears in an exquisite and beautiful ice coffin.

The Marquis of Luno knelt down, his cheek was pressed against the ice coffin, his eyes were full of indifference, and a line of clear tears flowed from his pupils

"Tim, from now on, I will take you to give me my heart when I am free, and go to the mountains and rivers for you, okay? From now on, we two brothers will never be separated."
