Allen and his little bones [Western Fantasy]

"It's really rude, who do you think is good at weight?"

Patriarch Val's focus on the opposite side has shifted, and he is staring at his brother standing aside.

"Aren't you gaining weight?" The eyelid of the stared one didn't lift, "You're almost filling up a loveseat sofa, and I can't even find a place to sit down."

The elder brother named Louis was not polite at all, as if he didn't understand how to save face for his younger brother in front of the guests and juniors, Neil choked on his words, took a deep breath, but didn't say anything, just went to The other side made room for the older brother who had just slandered him for gaining weight.

Louis naturally took the seat vacated by Neil.

"I'm sorry I didn't come out to greet you at the beginning." Sitting down, Louis crossed his legs, in stark contrast to Neil, who was sitting upright, and he shrugged slightly, "Neil thinks, I'm looking at what he knows It would be better to show up after I tell you everything, but he was too slow, so I decided to come out early on my own, hoping that I didn’t cause too much shock to you.”

Neil's eyes fell on Louis's folded legs. He seemed to straighten the opponent's legs with his eyes: "So you still know that you can make up your own mind, am I glad?"

Louis looked at Neil in surprise: "Why, shouldn't you?"

Neil: "..."

Clearly, Louis had the upper hand in this brotherly quarrel.

Eli felt somewhat embarrassed watching the elders bicker like this. His eyes fell to the coffee table, as if he was suddenly very interested in today's tablecloth colors and tea set prints.Alan was the complete opposite of him, his eyes were impartial, and he still fell on the opposite side.

"Stop talking nonsense, look, the young people on the other side are going to see your jokes."

"I don't know which one of you made me a 'joke' as soon as he opened his mouth."

Although he shouldn't lose his elder demeanor in front of the juniors, Neil still couldn't help but replied again, and then he looked at Alan and Eli again with a polite smile: "Sorry, I made you laugh."

The topic has been taken too far, Neil pressed the center of his eyebrows, feeling that whenever Louis was present, he would feel a little more tired.

Neil: "Let's get back to the original topic."

When Louis appeared on the stage, he asked him to answer the next question. He looked more serious and said, "It's not a lighthearted topic, but I will try to speak lightly."

"I think you have all heard that the Vaal family is a pure-blooded clan in the night clan. Our power comes directly from our bloodline, and we pass our power down from generation to generation through bloodline inheritance."

"But power is not a gift from heaven, it is free."

"The Val family has always claimed that I left the house after Neil became the head of the house, ran away in rebellion, and never came back, but in fact, for the past ten years, I have been living in this secret room that only the head of the house can open. "

Hearing this, Alan was stunned, no wonder he felt that the layout of this secret room was very similar to the room where he and Eli lived.

"The tenure of each Patriarch of Val is fixed for 20 years, and the heir of the Patriarch must be a pair of twins. One of the selected twins will become the Patriarch at the age of 30, and then he will He died in the tenth year of becoming the head of the family, and another twin continued to be in charge of the family for ten years."

"It's a curse."

The curse engraved in the blood of the Vaal family since their birth.

Their ancestors used this to exchange for the pure blood and powerful strength that can maintain the family's prosperity for many years.

"Ask you a question."

"Ok?"

"I only know half of the truth, and I will be notified in advance of the year and month when I will die, or I know the whole truth, but I can't do anything about the death of the person I love the most. Which of these two options do you think is better?"

"...OK? Wait, did I misunderstand the word 'good'? Either of these two sucks?"

"In comparison? What if there are only these two options in front of you, and you have to choose one of them?"

"..."

"what happened?"

"You still ask me what's wrong, has something happened recently?"

"No, don't think about it, it's just a simple question."

"Sounds suspicious."

"...If you don't choose, I'll leave. There will be a meeting with the new tutor in half an hour. We still have to make some necessary preparations."

"Hey, wait, I choose."

"which one?"

"First."

"What's the reason?"

"'The ignorant are often dull and happy', probably this is the truth. Compared with the wise man who knows everything early, being a fool who knows nothing can live happily for a long time."

"Yes, very similar to your answering style."

"and……"

"kindness?"

"The feeling of being powerless and being left alone at the end is terrible to think about. I would rather be the one who goes first and is missed."

"..."

"Is my answer too capricious?"

"...No." After a short moment of silence, the person who spoke first leaned over and hooked the shoulder of the person of the same stature beside him. He smiled and pressed the other person's head, making the person who was standing still The body suddenly tilted, "It's just a question on a whim, I will never think you willful, brother."

"Mr. Lewis?"

Allen looked at the dazed expression on the silver-haired man's face, knowing that the other party must have fallen into his own memories just now.

Louis came back to his senses: "Sorry, I lost my mind just now."

At this time, only Louis and Allen were left in the secret room. About an hour ago, Neil and Eli left here and returned to the outer room.

Because Louis said that he had something to say to Allen alone.

Although Neil was a little puzzled about his brother's request, he turned to Louis with questioning eyes. After asking for an answer to no avail, he still left room for the two of them to have a secret conversation between Louis and Allen.

"Actually, Neil only knows half of the content."

After confirming that he and Alan were the only ones left in the secret room, Louis said with a serious expression.

"Half means?"

"Experiments, curses, and other miscellaneous things."

Facing the black pupils of the black-haired young man who were silent and tainted with doubts, Louis took a deep breath first, closed his eyes for a moment, sorted out the miscellaneous thoughts in his head, and then continued.

He has a longer story to tell Allen than the curse that could be said in a few words just now.

Because at this time, the black-haired young man sitting across from him is the "hope" they have been waiting for for a long time.
