[Zongmeiying] Soul Mate

"Tell me, Merlin, where is the Book of Fate."

In an unremarkable small apartment, Caius and Merlin faced each other.

All the members of the wizarding group related to the Avalon Stone Monument don't know where the Book of Fate has gone since the last recorded appearance, which means that Elizabeth can't know what her mission is in time, and will continue to in danger.

"The Book of Fate has been passed down through generations in the wizarding blood, so don't tell me, you! The most powerful wizards alive don't know where it is."

"But I really don't know where it is," Merlin replied blankly. "You should look for clues from the connection between Roxana and Elizabeth, instead of questioning me here."

"That filthy woman is not worthy to be compared with my Elizabeth." Caius approached Merlin as if he had heard some unbelievable words, the bright red in his eyes was so rich that it would drip with anger at any time.

"Caius, Roxana is Alexander—your friend's queen! Who among us is more likely to know the whereabouts of the Book of Fate?" Merlin stepped back cautiously, and his bright irises began to reveal gold.

"I've seen Roxana's body with my own eyes. It's been thousands of years. It must have had other victims." Caius was already very anxious, and any refutation would add fuel to the fire.

"Maybe Death's mission requires him to remain anonymous?" Merlin avoided making eye contact.

"The new owner has appeared," Caius emphasized, "it means that the mission of the previous one has been completed."

"I don't believe that Aro and you haven't found out the power that the Book of Fate can bring to its owner," Merlin said distractedly, "seeing the established fate of ordinary people, to some extent change the unchangeable It is simply a miracle, who doesn't want to stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods?"

"So you don't have anything to tell me, Merlin?" Caius tilted his head threateningly

"Yes." Merlin said firmly, "I don't know where the Book of Fate is. Now I have to wait for him to come out by himself. Regardless of whether Death still exists or not, the Book of Fate will not allow my mission to stand still."

I don't know if this sentence is true, but Merlin's reluctance to reveal more is very clear. The anger and threat on Caius' face melted like a wax figure close to the candle, and he sneered, "Really Glad to see Mordred back too...you were so sad when Arthur died, I thought you'd never forgive him."

Arthur's death was undoubtedly a minefield, and Merlin said angrily, "This has nothing to do with you!"

"I really don't want to care about the affairs of the three of them," Caius warned viciously, "but anything...anything happens to Elizabeth, and no one can get away from it."

"So I suggest you think about where the Book of Fate went...otherwise," he grinned cruelly, pulling up a bloodthirsty smile, "they wouldn't be so lucky, and simply die in the in each other's hands."

Elizabeth felt herself falling.

The feeling of weightlessness made her heart beat like a drum, her body fell in the dark for a long time, and finally fell heavily on the ground, a beam of light illuminated her body that could hardly move from top to bottom, this light was too bright, Elizabeth's difficult sideways He turned his head and tried to dodge.

But as soon as her eyes touched the scene beside her, she was taken aback. Elizabeth saw Gwen lying on the ground, still wearing her daytime clothes, her beautiful eyes were wide open, blood was flowing from her nose, and her skin Turned an ominous blue-gray.

"Gwen?" Elizabeth muttered helplessly.

A person came out of the darkness, stood on the other side of Gwen's horrific corpse, and looked at Elizabeth pitifully.

"This is not Gwen." A strange voice seemed to ring in his ears.

She, no—he is very tall, with a statue-like silhouette that is beautiful and majestic, with a noble temperament shrouded in his eyebrows and eyes. It is difficult to tell whether he is a man or a woman from his appearance. Elizabeth can only barely distinguish from his deep voice. reveal his gender.

He stretched out a hand forward, and Elizabeth saw a long golden feather being held in his hand, and the man crouched gracefully, caressing the tip of the feather over Gwen's motionless body.

Gwen's face was blurred, his facial features were distorted, and a new face was born in a trance.

"This is you."

When Elizabeth woke up from the dream with a scream, she found that she was being hugged tightly in Caius' arms. She was sweating coldly, looking exhausted, panting as if she had just run a few laps on the playground.

"Caius, Caius." She called out the name hurriedly, as if the name itself could bring her courage.

"I'm here," Caius gently comforted her back.

"I've been dreaming," Elizabeth said anxiously. "From... very early on, since we were in Cattleya, I've been having strange dreams, dreaming about kings dying."

Her frightened eyes flicked to Caius's face, and Elizabeth begged, "Tell me, Caius, what happened."

Seeing her uneasiness and fear made Caius extremely painful, but he couldn't ignore her plea, he could only make a smirk with difficulty, "The blood of the wizard has given you a new identity, Lisa, are you Master of the Book of Fate."

"Book of Fate?" Elizabeth frowned.

"The owner of the Book of Fate can see the past, present and future," Caius tried to hide his worry with a positive tone, "This may be the origin of your dream..."

"No, I didn't just see it." Elizabeth interrupted him with a hoarse voice, and anxiously opened the bedside table, found out the dream ring and held it in front of Caius, "Did Jane not mention this to you? "

Of course Jane told him, and Caius immediately recognized the origin of the ring.

"...it was a gift, a gift from Hephaestion to Alexander, and it disappeared after Alexander died."

"Because I brought it back, it was about to fall to the ground." Elizabeth looked down at the ring, "I didn't just see it, I changed it."

"There are some destinies in the world that are destined to happen, and they must not be changed, because they are too special. Once their destinies are changed, they will have a very serious impact on the future." Caius patiently explained.

"But this ring is nothing, so I can bring it back, can I?" Elizabeth asked suspiciously.

"Yes, this is the power of the owner of the Book of Fate."

She pondered for a while, "But I've never seen that book."

"We will find it soon," Caius said in a hurry, "No matter where it is now or who is in possession of it, it will not be too far away from you, otherwise your ability will not be so powerful."

"If everything I see is true..." Elizabeth trembled uncontrollably. She thought of the queen's prayer, the shadow on Gwen's shoulder, and her own corpse at the feet of that strange man ten minutes ago.

At this juncture of wild thoughts, Caius lifted Elizabeth's chin and kissed her soft lips deeply. She slowly relaxed in the familiar cold breath and began to respond enthusiastically. Although she didn't know what else to experience, But she didn't want to die, Elizabeth hugged Caius's slender neck tightly, she would never leave him.
