Holder Manor Secret

Edward lay on the bed, he was very tired, but could not sleep.In a trance, he always heard someone whispering in the dark, both like the gospel of heaven, and like the whisper of hell.He had a terrible headache and his eyes were sore, and he only hoped that tomorrow would come early so that he could wake up in the light.

Suddenly there was a loud knock on the window. "Who!" Edward sat up suddenly, the voice stopped for a moment, and then continued to sound, but it was much softer.Edward stepped on the carpet with bare feet, holding a candlestick, and slowly approached the window.

He flung open the curtains.

"God……"

Edward hurriedly opened the window, the wind and snow poured in, and what was even colder was Vincent's embrace.He held him so tightly that Edward felt pain; his breath fell on Edward's neck, hot and wet again.

"Why did you come here..." Edward murmured.And then he was kissed, once, again.Vincent kissed him again and again, as if he wanted to kiss him a million times.

"Thank God you're here."

Vincent said in a sigh-like tone, even at this moment, he still hugged Edward tightly, his breath was on Edward's lips, this never-ending kiss.

Edward was confused by Vincent's actions, but he keenly felt the young man's fear, "I'm here, of course I am. Honey, tell me, what happened?" He reached out and stroked Vincent The golden hair shone with a sharp and indifferent light in the snowy night.But they are soft, twisted between Edward's fingers.

The young man, ever radiant and proud, hung his head, and his obedience nearly brought Edward to tears.Intense emotions surged in his heart, almost breaking his heart.

"Please."

Edward begged softly.

"Let me protect you."

Tell me what happened, I swear nothing will ever take me away from you.Even if death dissolves my body, my spirit whispers at your pillow.

Please.

Edward continued to comfort his young lover, his voice deep and soft, his love firm and sincere.Vincent stared at his bright red lips, and at that moment he was almost willing to give his life for him.

Let me take you away.

Go to France, go to India, go to rich or poor places.Or buy a piece of land in the country, plant cotton or grapes, we will work in the field during the day, and you will sleep peacefully in my arms at night.

The world will forget what you were when you weren't my wife.

Sweet sentences brewed in Vincent's mouth, and finally turned into bitter blood.The snowflakes were covered under the heavy curtains, but the wind poured in from every gap, boundless and cold to the bone.

"I'm leaving."

After all, he could only touch his cheek and bid him farewell with an eternally gentle voice.

Edward looked at Vincent blankly, and countless thoughts hit him, and his mind was as empty as a snowy night.He felt as if he was experiencing intense emotion, but the perception was far from him.

"Vince..."

Edward's lips trembled, but he couldn't make a clear sound, as if his tongue had been taken away by a cat.This handsome young man broke into his life like a stag, roaming wildly in his forest, hunting and breeding.Then he was gone, and in the cold stillness of the night the whole wood became a wasteland.

He let out a feeble whine.

Vincent's eyes were moist. He was unrestrained and went his own way, so God will give him the same punishment.But if it is this time, if it is this place, then God is too cruel.

"You break my heart...I love you, not even death can take me from you...Look at me..."

Vincent held Edward's face in his hands and kissed his drooping eyelids, which quivered as if they were bearing snow.

"Are you still refusing to tell the truth?!"

Edward's voice was so hoarse and sharp that Vincent had to cover his mouth to avoid being heard.However, the next moment he was bitten, blood flowed into Edward's mouth, and he bit him like a young animal resisting the approach of a stranger.

"..."

Vincent let him bite obediently. The smell of blood made people disgusted and fascinated, just like their deformed emotions, covered under the golden velvet costumes, hiding in a dark corner.

Edward let go of his mouth, and he knelt down, lying on the ground and retching.Tears kept rolling down his face and disappearing into the thick, soft carpet.

"Do not……"

Vincent wanted to hug him, but Edward resisted violently, "Let go! Hypocrites! Liars! Thief!" He thought he was yelling, but he sounded so weak, as weak as someone seriously ill.

"I love you, I love you!"

Vincent confessed impatiently, "You took my heart, I swear! You have it, and if you don't have it, then I don't have a heart. Please look at me again, kiss me, and say goodbye... Just when I went to the battlefield, or died somewhere... Please, look at me, let me embrace your love and go to the last moment of my life."

The young man's voice is so bitter, if this is a fake, then no one in this world can be called sincere.Edward tugged at the rough edge of the carpet in pain, and Vincent put his arms around him, tears streaming down his neck.

"...I won't look at you..."

Edward closed his eyes tightly, "I swear, if I look at you, let me go to hell..."

Vincent hugged Edward so hard that Edward felt the pain, but he was obsessed with the pain. "Kill me..." Edward murmured, but even so, he still closed his eyes tightly.His stubbornness and weakness intertwined, wrapped around Vincent's heart, and strangled him.

Vincent was at a loss.

He is maverick, he is dissolute and unreasonable, he wraps this gentleman's skin, and performs despicable deeds.After all, one day he will go to hell, his father, his mother, his half-brother, they are all in hell.

The one he loves now, will also be in hell.

Who would have guessed that he would fall in love with someone too.

"……Let's go."

Vincent suddenly said, "Go to the town, take a carriage, take a boat, go anywhere. If you are willing to give up your status as a gentleman, give up all decency, and live like an inferior person... then, let's go."

Edward opened his eyes.

Vincent let go of Edward, his hands groped around his body, and finally removed the gemstone inlaid on the coat.He stood up and stepped back.The wind blew open the curtains, and white light spread into the room, and the young man knelt in the holy light, blond and blue-eyed, just like when he first saw him by the lake.

"marry me."

"Please."

God gave them mercy, and hell gave them salvation.

Edward looked at Vincent, who had cried too much to cry again.He looked at the young man's face, which was so serious that it was almost indifferent, and the gemstones of the same color as his eyes shone fiercely.

God, how could he meet someone he couldn't help falling in love with.

"too late……"

If the person he met back then was Vincent, if that person was willing to take him away, if his brother and sister were still alive.

If he is only 20 years old.

Then he would promise him, even if he lived a lifetime of low life, licking rough brown bread through his fingers, and counting every penny on his knees on the cold ground.As long as he is willing to look at him, as long as he is willing to kiss him!

In hell, heart in heaven.

"too late……"

Edward said again that he was dressed thinly, his body was cold, and his face was frozen by the tears he shed, like an angel appearing on the church wall, silent and expressionless.

Their compassion is contrasted with indifference.

Vincent's Adam's apple rolled uncomfortably, he was too smart, he knew that the person he loved would give him a tragic end.

But he couldn't hurry him.

PLEASE.

If God can't hear, then I will forsake.If the devil will have mercy on me, then I will make him a god.

PLEASE.

The only love in my life, if you are willing to give up everything and run away with me, then I will swear to you with my soul, to give you peace and prosperity.If I cannot feed you, please eat my flesh; if I cannot be in your bed, please cover my skin.

I love you so much that words are too frivolous to express it.

They cannot speak.

In the cold and bright snowy night, they stood in a stalemate, like two silent ice sculptures.No one can go back, no one can go forward.Where did they come from and where are they going.The heaviest iniquity of the world weighs upon them, and they must not walk except as sinners.

A snowball suddenly hit Edward's side.

Edward trembled violently, then stood up quickly and rushed to the window.A small figure waved its arms in the snow, her dark hair and cloak like dirt on pure white, unbearable.

"Lacey is urging me."

Vincent came behind Edward and said in a hoarse, deep voice.His chest was pressed against Edward's back, and the vibrations from him made people tremble uncontrollably.

Edward almost said yes.

But he endured it.

Edward Brooke, like all mature gentlemen, sent off his lover with restraint.He kissed his lover's cheek, tightened his lover's neckline, and then stood in front of the window in the cold wind, watching his lover climb down the wooden stairs step by step.

Until the last moment, Vincent stood in the snow looking up at his lover, he couldn't see him clearly, his eyes were blurred by tears.

He's still expecting him to say yes.

The maid drew her master away with hands familiar with toil.

In the end, fate moved forward according to the established script.Xue Ye quickly buried their footprints, and no one knew that this adult who later became the Imperial Eagle knelt in a cold room in a remote manor on a snowy night, begging for the favor of a gentleman.

He will never kneel again.
