Violet Orchestra

"It's simple to say, but don't you think it's too simple? This is not a joke."

Ventus said in an "are you crazy" tone.

But Eros was obviously not joking. He wrote and drew on the paper, and began to explain the entire operation plan to Elaine, including the location of the seal, the preparations to be done in advance, and some trivial things that were irrelevant to Ventus. the details that matter.

"I really don't think this is a good idea." After a long time of patience, he still said so.

This time Eros didn't ignore his opinion any more, he turned his head and asked, "Why?"

"Elaine is just an ordinary person. If you let an ordinary person stab Hayden Woods in the chest, if this simple and crude method works, then Hayden Woods should have fallen long ago. How can God be so fragile?"

"Although it sounds unreliable, of course I have a reason for doing this." Eros looked at him innocently, "You know, only a god can hurt another god, and Hayden Woods Once a priest of Catherine, then Iko's power will also cause him more damage than other gods—”

"That's not the reason for you to send him to die." Ventus interrupted him, "I'll go and tell Violet that such absurd plan has no value in execution."

His attitude was unexpectedly firm, and even Elaine did not expect that Ventus, who had always been lukewarm to him, would protect him in this way.

But, "I don't think... Eros will harm me, maybe we can listen to his explanation again?"

"Are you out of your mind too?" Ventus frowned, and immediately turned the cannon to him. "Don't tell me that you think this plan is feasible, and you want to make a joke of yourself."

Elaine laughed dryly and didn't answer. She glanced at Eros and felt like the sandwich in the sandwich.

In fact, he thinks Eros' plan is still feasible...if things really develop according to the other party's expectations.Likewise, he understands why Ventus thinks it's a big joke, because the plan does sound like a fairy tale, with only one straight route to a happy ending, which is a bit too optimistic.

But if it can be done successfully, he is willing to give it a try—because the time left for Violet is running out, and no one knows if Hayden Woods still remembers this incident, or whether he has shortened it. way for a while.

In the face of a bunch of unknowns, he is willing to work hard.

Since Ventus and Eros disagreed, everyone broke up at the end of the day and went back to their rooms to rest.Elaine went to the kitchen to get thick soup and freshly baked bread for two, and got two big spoonfuls of cream stew generously given by the cook, and brought them back to the room to eat with Violet.

He pushed open the door, but found that the room was empty, and there was a note left by Violet on the table, saying that he had gone to the conservatory to write a new song and would come back at dinner time.

But now it was dinner time, and the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window had already spilled in through the curtains, and it was going to be dark in a while.The night in Icethorn City was too cold for the poet. Elaine was worried, so she put down her food and went to the greenhouse to find him with a thick fur coat.

The conservatory occupies a corner deep in the garden, and usually few people pass by, so Violet likes to stay there by herself recently.Elaine knew that he didn't want to see too many unimportant people, so he acquiesced in his petty emotions, and went to the conservatory to pick him up every day when he couldn't find anyone.

He walked outside the conservatory and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, but suddenly heard a low voice coming from inside.Although both sides of the conversation deliberately lowered their voices, he still recognized who it was—what did Eros come to find Violet?

Elaine paused in doubt, wondering whether to interrupt them by knocking on the door.

"I can't let Elaine take risks." He heard Violet say, "Ventus is right, the feasibility of this plan is not high, and I can't afford the price of failure."

"But there is always a chance of success, and I think you should trust Elaine."

"Of course I believe him, but this matter is not that simple, and he is not the one who made the plan—why do you help me, sir?"

Eros laughed twice and said, "Look, you still don't believe me, you just said that because Elaine and I are friends."

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I don't have the courage to try. As you can see, I'm just an ordinary person, and I knew I would die a long time ago. To be honest, I don't want Elaine to find a way to lift the curse, and I'm even afraid He really will find it, because who knows what it will cost, and I don't want him to risk it for me at all."

"But he's willing to do that, and you should know how much he likes you."

Violet smiled too. "That's exactly why I don't want him to do that."

Elaine froze outside the door, hesitantly let go of the hand that was already holding the doorknob, and listened to him continue.

"I have self-willedly occupied his first love experience. Since I can't be with him all the time, there is no reason for him to pay more for me. Although she is young, Elaine is actually much more mature than I thought. Often make decisions that surprise me...sorry, did I say too much?"

"It's nothing." Eros let out a mischievous laugh, turned and walked towards the door of the conservatory, "Elaine must be very happy to know that you like him so much."

"what?"

The poet obviously didn't understand what he meant, but Elaine outside the door understood it, but it was too late to hide, because the next second, the door of the greenhouse was pulled open by Eros who was striding forward.

Seeing Elaine standing outside the door with his coat in his arms, Violet actually felt a little embarrassed. He was stunned for two seconds, and then subconsciously said: "...how long have you been standing there?"

On this question, Elaine didn't dare to lie, so she had to answer honestly: "Not too long, it's just getting dark, and I want to come and pick you up."

Violet looked at the almost dark sky behind him, not knowing what to say.

Eros ran away on his own, and Elaine stood at the door for a while before speaking slowly: "Shall we... go back?"

Violet shook her head and held out her hand to him.

"come over."

Elaine walked up to him and wanted to put the coat on him, but Violet stretched out her arms to hug him.

"Have you heard that?" he asked.

Elaine didn't answer, she put the coat over his shoulders, and then tidied up his messy long hair.

He wasn't good at lying, and he didn't want to lie to Violet, at least not on this kind of matter.

Violet leaned her face on his lower abdomen, hugged him for a while, and then whispered: "Since you heard it, promise me not to go."

He didn't ask if he was okay, nor did he mean to discuss with Elaine. Although his voice was small, his attitude was unexpectedly tough, exactly the same as Ventus.Facing his order in a show of cowardice, Elaine neither said yes nor said no, but just maintained this posture and let him lean against her, and said after a long time: "...I want to try."

Violet looked up at him.

"Even if it fails in the end, at least let me try." Elaine lowered her head and looked at him, and smiled, "You are the person I want to protect the most. If you admit defeat without doing anything, I will regrettable."

There was no light turned on in the conservatory, and under the shadow of the plants, only the moon outside the door provided the light source, but his eyes looked very bright in this dim space, like shining stars and endless blue sky.Just by looking into his eyes, Violet knew that she couldn't convince him.

His little Romeo has grown into an unshakable tree at some point, firm and assertive, and is no longer the child who hesitates because he is afraid of his anger.

"What should I do?" He hugged Elaine and refused to let go, with a slight smile in his voice, "I suddenly want to hug you so much."

Elaine was a little puzzled: "Aren't you hugging now?"

"Of course not this kind of hug." Violet raised his eyebrows, and pointed at a certain private part of him, "My physical condition is not bad, you don't have to be a gentleman, huh?"

The young man tried hard, but his face still blushed uncontrollably.

It seems that this is the only thing that has not changed.Violet couldn't help laughing, knelt on the chair and leaned over to kiss him.

"I need a promise." Between kisses, he wrapped his arms around Elaine's neck, and reluctantly made an agreement with the other party for three chapters, "Whether you succeed or not, you will definitely come back—if you can't, you won't allow it." go."

"Okay, I promise."

Elaine kissed his earlobe and nodded seriously.

After getting his assurance, Violet became uneasy again, hesitating to repent: "Actually, I can wait, if there is a better way in the future..."

"I can't wait any longer." Elaine interrupted him, "After knowing the curse on you, every second I worry about when it will snatch you away, I can't sit still thinking that something like that will happen .”

"..."

"Be good, I promise you it will work, okay?"

"I'm becoming less and less like me." Violet leaned on his shoulder helplessly, and didn't continue to dwell on this issue. "It's really scary. I used to think I could face death calmly."

According to his original idea, in the last two years, he would leave his companions to find a quiet place alone, preferably an ordinary hut, where he could live peacefully by himself. Waiting for the arrival of death.But the actual situation has completely deviated from this track. Not only is there a group of people around him, which has nothing to do with the word "calm", even the courage to face death has been lost by him because of Elaine's existence.

He began to fear death. Although it was a problem he thought he had faced up to 30 years ago, when he really stood at the end of the road, he was afraid to move on.

Elaine took his hand, but he didn't want to let go.

Maybe he wants to struggle a little more and trust his little Romeo.
