Before "he" came, the world was gloomy.

The meaning of the grayness is—although the eyes can undoubtedly see the colors and distinguish all the bright things called "colors", but the surface of those beautiful or ordinary things seems to be unknown. The shadow from where it came from casts a layer over it.

It seems to be able to realize it, and it seems to always feel that it is boring, but there is no idea to find out the reason.For neither these images of things, as usual, bleak, nor the overlapping expressions that dwell in every identical and different face that comes into view, have nothing to do with the king who sits on the throne.

According to God's guidance, to exercise the rights prepared by God, in addition to that, it is to use a seemingly normal human expression to disguise a heart that does not exist from the beginning to the end.

Others, or in other words, the part about “self”—the king doesn’t need to do anything, and doesn’t need to think about anything.

After all, there is no human heart, and it comes in a form equivalent to a tool. If you complete the tasks that have fallen on you before you were born, there is nothing else worth exploring.

But, that being said.

This king... occasionally still has a little bit of "curiosity", which is so rare that it will disappear silently after a short hesitation.

No, maybe it's not even curiosity, it's just a slight touch from the heart that can be ignored.

He inadvertently stopped at a high place in the royal palace, his gaze was beyond the barriers of the majestic city walls, and he could see into the distance, the city center that seemed incomparably prosperous and peaceful under his rule.

With only human eyesight, it is obvious that we cannot see that far away, but as long as we want to see, we can use magic.

All in all, when he raised his eyes and looked into the distance, the first thing he detected was the unexpected living and working of the people.In the period when there is no war, almost every corner of the city is filled with such an atmosphere of joy and contentment.

People are chatting near the door of the house, women are preparing lunch in the house, children are playing around the adults who are chatting... a little further away, the scope is wider, and what you see is even more enthusiastic and seemingly incomprehensible scene.

The young man picked the brightest flowers that he could see at a glance from the edge of the field, carefully held them into a bunch, and hid them behind him.

His steps were brisk, as if he was riding the wind, and the wind took him and his eager heart to rush forward faster.By the small river, under a tree with dense shade, or somewhere else, when he arrived there, the blush on his face and the fire in his eyes were hotter than the sun in the sky.

He dedicated the bouquet hidden behind him to the beautiful girl waiting by the river and under the tree.Then, the lovers who quietly meet in their free time hug and kiss, and their figures gradually disappear into the shadow of the swaying trees.

……

When this scene fell into his eyes, although the king didn't have any surprised thoughts, he didn't have any strange emotions.However, for some reason, his eyes, which were as calm as ice-cold mirrors, still vaguely had a strange color floating on them.

This... can be regarded as "doubt".

His seeing does not simply examine with his eyes.At the same time as seeing the tender attachment of the young man and woman, there was an additional picture that did not belong to this time, which suddenly appeared in my mind.

Not only as a king, but also as a magician, this man has the highest level of clairvoyance.Most of the time, the role of clairvoyance is not obvious to him, and the content of the future seen in advance has never caused any ripples in his frozen heart.

most of the time……

This time, it can't be attributed to the general situation.

Unexpectedly, after making him stunned for a very short time, he raised his hand inexplicably.

The fingertips were the first to touch his eyes that had regained their grayness. Apart from being soft, the touch he got didn't make the fingertips stick to the slightest bit of warmth, as if he was not only a heart, but even a body was cold.

He "saw" the wedding.

Of course, the protagonist of the wedding is not the gentle young man I saw in reality before, and it has nothing to do with them.

It was mostly half blurred, with only a few areas being a clear background. It was luxurious and spacious, and it could be seen that quite a few people gathered here.He recognized his own palace with just one glance, and that was where he stood as the "protagonist" in the spotlight.

If it was only this discovery, he would not be moved at all.Because, the wedding is a matter of course. As a young and still reigning king, he will definitely get married, and who will become his queen and one of the many concubines, at least before that, is not in his consideration within range.

Marrying for the benefit of the country, or recruiting beauties in order to better fit the image of the king, so as to achieve the purpose of continuing the heir...these are the only possibilities that can be thought of.

what else?

Are there other possibilities?

The king who fell into doubt had never expected it. It can be said that this "future" he saw through the future vision made him have emotional fluctuations for the first time since his birth.

It was a very grand wedding, extravagant and ostentatious, and completely violated the teachings of simplicity and simplicity.

The king in the future, that is, the future him, will put the crown symbolizing power and status on the head of the queen he has chosen with incomparable solemnity and tenderness.

On such an occasion, the solemnity is obvious, but the gentleness——

This is the most unbelievable and most unlikely expression on this king.

The golden color in his eyes seemed to be softened by the tenderness spreading from his heart, and merged with the warm sunlight.He even smiled, with an inconspicuous but real arc at the corner of his mouth.

It wasn't a pretense in the past, but genuine joy—this was the first thought that popped into his mind when he suddenly got the revelation of the future when he was stunned.

As mentioned earlier, only half of the picture is clear, and most of it is very blurry.He was the only one who was clear, and even the figure of the "Queen" who was facing him in the picture seemed to be separated by a layer of veil, the more he tried to see clearly, the less real he could see.

What is certain is that that person has long hair that is the same color as the blue sky.

The blue is not dazzling, but the soft and bright petals seem to happen to be sprinkled from above, lingering in the hair, but they don't suppress the purest beauty at all.

……

……

After getting that foresight, for several days in a row, the king's face remained unchanged, but the inner world that no one could see, which was like a pool of stagnant water, continued to experience ups and downs inexplicably.

He still didn't think about anything else, and he didn't particularly care about it. He was just thinking about whether there was something wrong with the "future" he saw.

--that person……

--No.my queen.

——Although he has a very beautiful back, no matter how he thinks about it, he is undoubtedly a man...

From this, it can be seen how much doubts Wang has in his heart.

Why is his future queen a man?As far as he is concerned, he doesn't even have any emotions that can be called selfish desires, let alone any hidden hobbies.

And if it was God's instruction to choose a male as the queen... the possibility suddenly became even lower.

Therefore, he was puzzled.

Because of this, he was thinking all the time.

The "queen" who only appeared for such a short time in the fleeting picture also entered the king's empty heart in a very special way in such a short period of time, and carved a different feeling there for the first time. imprint.

Of course, the mark left at that time was very shallow.

Wang also paid attention to another discovery.

About, on his face, which looks like an ordinary person but is actually only numb and indifferent, there is what can be called a "soft" expression.

--what is that?

——Am I laughing?Looking at the "Queen" in front of her with both eyes, she showed him... a soothing smile.

No matter how I think about it, I feel "impossible".

These two doubts really troubled him for a long time. Although it was not to the point where he couldn't eat or sleep, such a subtle performance was equivalent to a man who had nothing after removing the identity of "King". Speaking of it, it can already be regarded as a super abnormality.

Sometimes, it will be more inexplicable-inadvertently fascinated by any kind of blue that breaks into the field of vision, that is, in a daze.

It can be a blue cloth worn by someone, or it can be a blue flower that is left in the corner of the eye while walking through the garden.

More than one subject has already asked cautiously and in surprise: "My lord, is there anything that needs to be replaced?"

At this time, this king who is proficient in all kinds of magic and can see the future with his eyes, but he doesn't even know why he can't help being stunned, will often shake his head subconsciously after a sudden daze.

"Ah. It's okay, that's all."

He doesn't allow blue to appear on everyone's body, and it is not a unique color to let the flowers that grow naturally. , you can see the wider and unavoidable blue.

This accident is small, and it doesn't seem to have any impact on Wang's life - it is indeed true before the "accident" really comes.

Doing things that seem to never change, Wang also only meditates in his heart when he looks up at the sky:

"When... will it come?"

If the time is moved forward and backward a little, and Wang Lai recalls the state of mind at this time after a long time, he can break through the strange confusion and clearly realize:

The introduction of "expectation" was actually buried at the earliest time.

He was waiting for the queen who was destined to marry him and become his wife.Then, you can know the answers to those two doubts that you have been trying to solve for a long time.

But he didn't know.

The two "answers" that have always troubled him can actually be classified into one category, and they can all be explained clearly with the same answer.

It's simple to say, but wanting to understand and fully comprehend, he spent all his time as Solomon—whether human or heroic spirit.

And, as a real human being, "Romani Akiman", this incompetent and pathetic man's... life.

……

"I stood on a high place and waited until he came."

"The darkness that shrouded everything in the world was melted by the sun at that moment. He illuminated my world with his light, and I gave him my heart. I don't dare to ask for it. He can give me the same s return."

*****

When Airlie first came into this world, he didn't understand anything.

It can't be said that he doesn't even know basic common sense... The main reason is that the little common sense he has mastered in his own world is basically useless after changing the world.

For example, he used to live in the palace, and even though he just stayed in one place quietly and didn't move much at that time, no guards would stop him from wandering around the palace if he wanted to.

Very well, this made Ellie naively acquiesce that as long as it is the palace, no one will come to block his way.Holding this wrong cognition, he broke into the palace of a certain powerful king in that world openly and aboveboard. He didn't feel anything wrong until he saw the person.

Because the situation was exactly the same as before, no one came to stop him.

There were many people on the road that must be passed, but when they saw him for the first time, their eyes were frozen, and the soles of their shoes seemed to be tightly stuck to the ground, and they could no longer move forward.

Airlie was only wearing an ill-fitting white robe, and to be honest, his image was not perfect at all, and he was a bit embarrassed.

He walked quite a long way before he groped his way to the palace.

He accidentally fell down a few times along the way, and after the fall, he lay on the ground, thinking for a long time with a blank expression, but still enduring the pain and struggling to get up, even if he had to take off the same ill-fitting boots that caused him to fall Throw it away, and go to the palace.

Fortunately, even with disheveled hair and bare feet, and a lot of dust on his robe, he still tenaciously reached his destination and met the person he wanted to see.

Airlie heard people talking about it when he first arrived.

They sang the praises of the great King Solomon, who was wise, wise, and unyielding, and brought prosperity and prosperity to this land.There is no doubt that King Solomon is the most powerful man in this country.

Oh……

That's great.

Airlie just happens to want to find someone powerful and proposes to him.

His thoughts are so simple and pure, without considering factors such as social background or religious beliefs at all, he just wants to marry the most powerful person.

Ah, no, he still considered one more thing.That is—what if the proposal fails and the man named Solomon is unwilling to marry him?

"How to do it?"

Pausing for a moment at the gate of the palace, Airlie was thinking about this question.

"There seems to be no other way... If I get rejected, I don't know what to do - I just have to work hard not to be rejected."

He has not yet had any horrible images in his mind, such as a failed marriage proposal and living on the street. After all, there is no such miserable concept as "living on the street". He just relies on his intuition to feel that the result of failure is very bad, it must be very bad.

Therefore, every step of entering the magnificent palace, he put into use all the determination he had at that time.

"Are you the most powerful person in this world?"

Stopping at the door, looking up at the king who happened to be by the stairs on the second floor, Airlie asked directly.

"If yes, can I propose to you?"

It's that simple--

The man who just met him for the first time actually agreed quite straightforwardly.

For this result, Airlie probably wasn't "happy" at all. After all, in his opinion, marrying a powerful person was already a doomed fact, and at most the process went smoothly unexpectedly.

After achieving his goal, Ellie let go of a worry, and naturally relaxed, and reflected in the eyes of others, he became extremely docile.

Solomon, he remembered the name.

Solomon led him into the inner sanctum of the palace, and he followed obediently.Solomon made him sit on the edge of the bed, and he sat down obediently.Solomon said some words to him, he heard them, most of them couldn't understand the meaning, but he was still trying hard to remember.

To sum it up, he would do whatever Solomon asked him to do, and he was worried that Solomon would repent temporarily and would not want to marry him.

Well……

Still one thing to remove.Only this matter, Ellie didn't immediately nod in agreement.

Solomon had already seen Airlie's bare feet, the robes that were almost dragging to the floor, and the spots of mud remaining on the corners of the robes.He called the maids to come in, asked them to prepare a change of clothes, and led the future queen to bathe in his own bath with the most humble attitude.

However, Ellie grabbed Solomon's sleeve silently and refused to let go.

"What's wrong? Don't be afraid."

Solomon was puzzled, but he clenched his hand again.

Ellie shook her head.

"No."

No fear, why be afraid?

"I want to follow you."

Solomon was taken aback.

"You don't go," Ellie said again.He lowered his eyes and still had no expression on his face, but the voice came out.

"I want to see you. Stay with me, okay?"

"..."

From Ellie's point of view, the intention of saying these words was equally simple and pure. He was still afraid of Solomon's repentance, so he wanted to stay by the man's side.

I don't know what Solomon was thinking.Anyway, on that day, the maids who were called by Solomon after retreating from the screen carried Ellie to the bath in person.

Most of his body was covered by warm water. At that time, Ellie had no sleeves to grab, so he grabbed Solomon's hair, which was longer than his own.

The man's white hair was soft and comfortable to the touch, and seemed to have a smell that he liked very much.

So, he also buried his face in the soft and thick white hair.

At the same time, the man seemed a little at a loss by Ellie's action. He was silent for a while before opening his mouth and said another paragraph to Ellie.

Previously, Solomon had told him that he wanted him to be his queen, and he would love and protect him from now on.

At this time, it was probably a little embarrassing to find a topic to communicate with, Solomon said: "In the future, I will show you whatever scenery you want to see."

This can be regarded as another promise he gave besides love, although it came very abruptly and without thinking.

Also, Solomon hadn't been able to guess Airlie's answer.

"Do not."

With his face buried in his white hair, he slowly frowned, then slowly raised his arms, and simply hugged the man completely.

"As long as you stay where you are, you'll be fine."

……

……

At that time, what Airlie thought was that he had never been to other places, and he had no idea of ​​going there.

It never occurred to him then that he would leave Solomon.This man was so nice that he agreed to his marriage proposal and let him stay, and he didn't seem to want to leave him either.

At that time, he never thought that not only did he leave Solomon so early, but he also didn't see him again for an incomparably long time afterwards.

Airlie is a heroic spirit born of Solomon, with such a deep origin and bond that it is firmly engraved on the spirit base.

Like a curse, they became heroic spirits after death, and they were destined not to meet again.

But... finally saw it.Although only a little shorter than the original three years.

Then, they separated again.

——It’s not death, it’s just “disappearance”.

While sitting under the stone pillar in front of the Temple of Time, watching the man's back go away, Ellie, who was still oozing blood from the corner of his mouth, was still using this statement to comfort himself.

Just disappear, as if he never came in the first place.He should never have come.

Isn't that a good ending?

Gathering all his magic power, his soul, his world - everything about him, the Noble Phantasm finally began to work.

At that moment, the light spot that appeared when the entity dissipated rose in front of his eyes, and the more intense taste of blood in his mouth seemed to disappear quietly. Through these, the last light he could radiate, Airlie saw what he was thinking about. Road".

The way back and the way back can also be said to be the same journey, but the directions are different.

When he came, his starting point was the already perishing world, and what he walked towards in ignorance was new life and hope.He is going back at this moment, and he can't see the end point, no matter how dazzling the light is, it will disappear silently in the darkness.

The first one he dragged back from this road was Matthew, and the girl could use her unfinished life to travel farther.Then, Airlie rushed ahead of the man who was going the deepest and farthest where he was going, and pushed him back to the place of light without any explanation.

"Sorry, Solomon."

"I don't want to follow you, I don't want to see you here. This time, I don't want to stay where you are."

"This road is really too dark, there is no light, no sound, and no one else except myself."

"When I came from my own world, I passed it once."

"Now……"

"Even if I had to walk again, I wouldn't feel scared anymore."

Really.

Really.
