Proposed by the most beautiful you in the world [Comprehensive]

Edmund was only away for a few hours at most.

When he left, for some reason, he neither said anything to Ellie beforehand nor sent a message to Ellie who didn't know at the time.

Ellie didn't know why he fell asleep unknowingly last night, as if he was still talking to Edmund before, when he closed his eyes lightly, sleepiness swept over him silently, He is tightly wrapped inside.

All in all, it was already the afternoon of a new day when he was awakened by the glare of the light that invaded the room and boldly climbed onto the bed the next day.

He quickly got up from the bed and wanted to apologize to Edmund, but he searched around but couldn't find anyone.On the contrary, when they were walking around the house, they saw Miss Elizabeth sneaking out of the ballroom, and the two of them hid together in the deserted garden where other guests would not find out.

"Miss Elizabeth has already met Darcy. Without Wickham's troubles, their fate should not change."

Now that Edmund came back, Ellie first introduced the progress here, in a rather gratifying tone.

Speaking of which, though, he couldn't let his guard down just yet.

The combination of Elizabeth and Darcy is an important event that cannot be changed and must follow the track, so I won't say much about it.Besides that, Jane and Bingley's marriage counts.It was the three remaining Bennet girls, especially Miss Lydia, who had trouble with Airlie.

If Wickham is still the original Wickham, his wife is Lydia of the Bennet family.But now, Wickham has become an outsider, and he is destined not to stay in this world anymore. Lydia's destined husband is gone.

——Of course, although it's a bit regrettable, it's a good thing for Lydia who doesn't know the future yet.Because it turns out that although Wickham is an angel compared to outsiders, compared to normal people, he is still a veritable scum and scum.

Airlie has always kept his promise to Mrs. Bennet in mind, but why has he never been a matchmaker?I just have to think hard about how to find a marriage partner with a suitable personality, a good character, and a relationship that can develop feelings for each other...

In this regard, Mr. Earl, who realized that if Ellie was allowed to be self-reliant, sooner or later he would suffer from heart failure and exhaust himself, frowned, and offered a helping hand.

Just provide the venue and the candidates, and let them find them by themselves—Edmund didn’t even blink his eyes when he said such imposing words. stand up.

Having said so much, the above is what must be explained, and we can already glimpse the progress of the story that is moving towards the happy ending that we like to hear and see.

Airlie fetched an empty teacup and poured tea for the man who had just sat down.

The aroma of black tea diffuses in the air along with the sound of the trickling brown water hitting the bottom of the narrow cup. Only when the tip of the nose smells it, one can feel the slightly bitter fragrance.

"So, what clues did you find?"

He put down the teapot, and only then asked about the "clue" that Edmund mentioned.

Edmund's gaze seemed to be on his face all the time, and Airlie almost thought it was an illusion—because it was only a blink of an eye, and the man's gaze quietly moved away.

"Well, let me tell you so."

Edmund said: "I went to the dungeon before going to search his place."

These days, of course, Wickham has been thrown in the dungeon, only provided with meager food and water so that he will not die of hunger and thirst, other than that, when he is awake, no one pays attention to him , and no one talked to him.

Edmund deliberately told the servants to stay away from the cell and never have any unnecessary contact with the prisoner.

Although it has been proved through practice that even if Wickham is completely thrown in the cell regardless of his starvation to death, he can be resurrected quickly.But Edmund was even more unsure whether a resurrection would bring this guy any hidden boosts, so just in case he wasn't prepared, he just dragged it so that he wouldn't die.

Ever since seeing Wickham come back to life on the spot, Airlie hadn't seen the man with his own eyes.Therefore, for Edmund's next narration, he couldn't help cheering up: "Then?"

"Then," Edmund's voice was extremely understated: "That guy confessed. About his secret, where he got the ability to resurrect, he told me."

Ellie: "What?!"

How could it be... so simple to explain all the secrets?

However, Edmund's mocking sneer was in stark contrast to his shock.

"Don't think of him as capable. Even if he is shameless, it doesn't mean that the rats in the ditch would disdain garbage, but it doesn't mean that his willpower can contend with his shamelessness."

Between the index finger and middle finger of the man's right hand, he casually picked up something that seemed to be curled up from paper. The tobacco smell mixed with the smell of tea came from here.

When he was speaking, the reason why there was a short period of ambiguous and low voice in his voice was because he habitually took out a cigarette and then habitually bit the cigarette butt between his teeth, and the sparks were also lit.

"He recognized me as another man who seemed to have some similar features in appearance."

"And that man is the person he owes the most, the person he hates the most, the person he envies the most—and the person he fears the most."

Having said that, Edmund Witton, the smoke he inhales contains a very high concentration of nicotine, which may be completely unbearable to ordinary people, but for him, the taste of numbness has become normal.

It was at this time, adhering to the never-changing habits in the past, he naturally exhaled the smoke that had been lingering in his chest for a long time.

call……

The slightly dark smoke in Baizhong leaked from his mouth and spread forward——

Edmund, who was still smoking a cigarette, suddenly paused again, and a trace of dullness suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Edmund: "..."

Airlie whose face was blown by the smoke: "..."

A second later, Ellie was so choked that he leaned on the table, turned his face away and coughed again and again, which was quite earth-shattering.

The topic was temporarily interrupted because of this accident, but——this is also unavoidable.

Edmund had never smoked in Airlie's presence before.Ellie knew he was going to smoke, because every time he saw him or got close to him, he could smell a faint smell of smoke from him...

So, it was really the first time to be baptized by the oncoming smoke like now!

"Cough, cough, cough cough, cough cough—"

"Hold... I'm sorry."

Even the majestic and aura of the Avengers still bit their tongues when they encountered this situation-it was so embarrassing.

He froze for a moment, then pinched out the cigarette as fast as he could.

There was a moment of being at a loss, and many thoughts flashed through Edmund's mind, the most prevailing of which was of course to pat the back of the person who was choked by the smoke—after the pat, he could justifiably pat the person who hadn't moved. Kai raised his hand forward and hugged him into his arms.

However, he immediately realized that this was probably the latent instinct carried in the blood of the French.Before that, he was forcibly buried by himself who thought he could no longer get love, but at this moment, after that, the subconscious that had been buried alive for many years rushed out——

... Now I feel that "risking" too much has gone too far.

Therefore, the Frenchman, who suddenly realized that his instincts were slowly awakening, fell into a very complicated silence, so that the hand that was stretched out and really intended to slap Airlie on the back froze for a few seconds in mid-air , failed to catch up in time.

Ellie has firmly lifted his lying body up.

"Ahem...it's okay, I just——didn't react."

The breath finally calmed down, at least Ellie, who was still slightly red on the neck, picked up the topic again, but before restarting, Ellie looked at Mr. Earl, who had a slightly stiff expression, and his tone was full of concern: "Aye Demon, what happened, are you in a bad mood?"

Edmund did not admit it: "No."

Ellie stared at him, seeing that the man still looked at him blankly, and after a moment of stalemate, he gave up.

"Okay, you continue?"

Edmund, who seemed to be looking normal, continued as he said.

"That disgusting guy explained who his power comes from. But obviously, it's not enough. This is just one of the secrets he carries, and it's not the most important one."

"What is his origin, this guy who is useless except for the power he got from others, why can't even Alaya know how to find us among the many heroic spirits—yes, what does he have to do with us ?”

That's the point.

This is also the question that Ellie had already had in his heart when he first came to this world...or even earlier.

"Yes, with us..."

Whispering here, Elliton was slightly shocked for a while.

——Actually, the "we" in these words can even delete the last word.

Although Edmund said so, it can be seen from the deeper and deeper eyes he looked at Ellie that, in fact, he already had a slightly clearer guess in his heart.

He was picked due to a rather strong connection to the world.

From the very beginning, he understood that with him, or without him, it would hardly have any impact on the resolution of this incident.

Therefore, the person who plays a key role can only be his "companion".

What Edmund didn't understand before was why "that person" was Airlie, because no matter how he thought about it, it was hard to believe that Airlie would have even the slightest involvement with such disgusting garbage.

Then, after getting most of the information from Wickham's mouth, the clues were connected in his mind at once, and he seemed to have finally found a breakthrough to solve this incident at this moment.

"—Wickham, the 'man' mentioned."

Edmund saw Airlie's pupils contract very slowly.On that beautiful face, the first thing that emerged was surprise, and then, it gradually changed into an unsteady uneasiness that he might not even be aware of.

However, Edmund did not say it, but it was very obvious, and he had indeed heard it.

"Did he mention specifically, who is that person?" Airlie asked, his brows already furrowed involuntarily: "If the ability to resurrect from the dead... the ability to make Alaya's consciousness untouchable, is it words from others."

Edmund said: "An extremely powerful man. When he was alive, all the power of a country could not defeat him and kill him."

"Then he—"

"But now, he has been dead for a long time."

"...He doesn't belong to this world either. Then, is there any more? What's his name?"

Although, Ellie was very clear when he asked this question, since that person does not belong to "here", even if he asked and got an answer, he didn't know him, he didn't know his situation——

But... Inexplicably, there is a rather strong impulse that seems to be urging him silently.Be sure to ask.

"If the combination of those two fear-filled words repeated in Wickham's mouth is the name."

The sarcasm in Edmund's voice disappeared, and in his heart, perhaps he also had due respect for a powerful person, although this person only appeared in the report of the guy he hated.

"Eddie. That man's name is Eddie."

"..."

Ellie was silent.

As expected, it was a completely unfamiliar name.Of the countless human beings he had known and met, either bright or faded, there was not a single one called "Eddie."

but……

but.

Why, that inexplicable strange feeling like a stick in the throat stirred up layer after layer of ripples in the hard-to-calm heart.

It's like someone is telling him: You shouldn't know him, you shouldn't know his name.You should know, you should meet, you should—

"what!"

Ellie snapped back to his senses.

He could feel that, before he knew it, his back was soaked, the fabric was soaked in sweat, and his mingled fingers also reflected a moment of confusion.

And the reason why he was able to calm down... can't be said to be calm, it is more inclined to let his sinking thoughts temporarily escape from the prison.

"Airlie—what's the matter with you?"

Now he is surrounded by a man from the upper body, his face is pressed against the man's chest, and the man's hands are also wrapping around his back in a comforting manner.

The strength he used was a little too strong, showing the stiffness that a person who made such an intimate movement suddenly was extremely unaccustomed to, but he still hugged him.And that was good, because, under the tight pressure, Airlie came to his senses instead.

"I see your condition...is very wrong."

The opportunity that was missed due to momentary thinking and hesitation was finally grasped by Edmund this time.

As he wished, he embraced the slightly absent heroic spirit into his arms, although his heart was still hard to fill with pure joy because of the constant speculation about the possible subtle relationship between Ellie and "that man".

Under Edmund's silent reassurance afterwards, Ellie completely calmed down, and at the same time, clarity reappeared in his eyes.

"It's okay, Edmund, you continue to talk. I have a vague...a little absurd guess. The more clues I have, the more certain I can be."

Edmund paused for a moment, a little reluctant to let go of the arms that bound his loved one, but he still let go, but in a place that Ellie couldn't see, the too pale one A shadow of gloom passed over his handsome face.

They were back to their original conversation across the table.

"As I told you first, after leaving the cell, I rushed to Wickham's residence. I searched for it at first, but found nothing special until—"

"Found the box."

Edmund placed a box about the size of a teacup on the table and pushed it slightly towards Airlie.

Just looking at the box, there is nothing special about it.Because the appearance looks too simple, it is not as precious as the porcelain cup with simple patterns on the side.

Because the really precious things are covered by the simple wooden box, hiding the brilliance.

For some reason, the moment Ellie's fingertips touched the outer shell of the wooden box, he felt a slight tingling sensation similar to an electric shock.

He was slightly stunned, and then, the flawless face that should have been indifferent, with a little worry at most, was shrouded in a very inconspicuous dark color.

Finally, he opened the box.

……

In an instant, the light that was exactly the same as the quiet and soft color that lingered in his pupils was also suddenly projected in Airlie's eyes, as if returning from a deep attachment, they merged into one, inseparable.

What an eye-catching necklace appeared in the humble box!

Even the Count of Monte Cristo, who owns the wealth of the country, and is now the King of the Grottoes, in his extravagant life of astonishing gold, silver and jewels, he has never seen comparable treasures.

Like the teardrops of the sea solidified here, through the dark blue crystals, one can glimpse the magnificence of the sea, the crystal clearness of the sea, and the waves that seem to be able to flow and move lightly.The color under the waves darkens faintly, as if hiding the secret of the abyss that is not publicized——

so similar.

Like, those eyes that Airlie has.

……

……

"……I see."

Edmund was suddenly surprised to find that Airlie, who was carefully admiring the beautiful necklace inlaid with sapphires in his palm, stood up suddenly after a long daze.

He held the necklace quite tightly in his hand, because the movement of getting up was a little big, and he accidentally even let his arm knock over the small wooden box that held the necklace before.

The box, which had completely lost its meaning of existence, fell to the ground with a slam. It was clear that the land under its feet was not hard and there were green grass growing vigorously, but the moment it touched the ground, the container shattered, leaving only a crisp sound and Scattered pieces of wood.

"This time, I really understand, I really understand..."

Repeating these two sentences, Ellie seemed to be in the same confusion as before, but fortunately, in his chest, it seemed that there was an additional firm thought that had never appeared before.

Therefore, it didn't take long for him to regain his sanity by himself, although the price he paid was that there was endless coldness in the palm of his hand, and this coldness pierced through the skin and entered the blood vessels connecting the whole body. To go cold, but to arouse a bigger and more intense...

flame.

"Edmund... I should have known him, and I should have heard his name. However, we have never met, and we don't even know each other's identities and backgrounds."

"He is a stranger, but he should be my closest person. So it turns out that we have taken two paths that will not overlap at all, but... still 'coincidence' such a slightly invisible trajectory. "

The flame was sad and angry, burning alone there, but he seemed to feel the anger of two people at the same time.

Until the end, looking straight ahead—the direction of the dungeon—Airlie, who seemed to let the flame burn into his eyes, suddenly turned around.

His explanation to Edmund was very simple, only a few words, but it seemed to be under a lot of pressure.

"Its original owner was me."

That's right, the real owner of this necklace is Ellie.

To be precise, it is the one who has not yet become a heroic spirit, has not met Solomon, and the world he belongs to has not been destroyed by a huge change. The "setting" of - human beings.

……

……

From the very beginning, he lived in a castle that looked like the center of a royal city surrounded by stars.

The trajectory of fate has not been glimpsed for a long time, he lives here and waits, has been waiting.

His identity might be the prince of this country - he occasionally guessed like this, but no one told him if he was right, so he continued to keep this guess and continued to wait patiently.

There is a necklace of sapphires that has hung around his neck from the moment of his birth and has never been separated.Although he didn't pay much attention to it, but after he accidentally lost it, he would still miss it a little bit during the "occasionally" when it was rare to guess who he was.

Well, he lost the necklace...not counting.

In fact, one day when he was walking among the gardens in the castle, a falcon from nowhere swooped towards him, picked up one end of the necklace, flapped its wings as tall as a man, and jumped into the embrace of the sky again.

If you lose it, you lose it. After all, most of the time there is no response.He who was so calm like a puppet continued, continued, and continued to wait in the castle, until one day, he accidentally heard a rumor.

——The most powerful hero in the world is about to come to this country.

—He was loved by all, and he was tall and handsome.The eagle replaced his eyes, and at the same time discerning the distance for him, he found the most beautiful person in the world for him.

——The most powerful man in the world is about to propose to the most beautiful person in the world.

There is no name, let alone a more specific description, as if there is only a most pale pronoun.After hearing this, he still behaved coldly, without any mood swings, neither happy nor excited.

What is there to be excited about, what is there to be happy about?Can't feel it.

That was already set, including their birth, their meeting.

Sooner or later it will happen, sooner or later it will come.

So, just wait, like what he's been doing in the past, never changing...

——But, wrong.Did not wait.

"Cut. I won't see you again."

"It's such a pity, the most beautiful person in the world... I really want to see how good-looking she is. What color is the hair? What color are the eyes? It would be perfect if it was blue. I like blue!"

There is a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood under his feet.

Beside him was the rain of broken swords, guns and swords, the rain of swords, guns and swords that was stabbing at him, the rain of swords, guns and swords that was about to pierce his body.

However, the silver-haired man who stepped on the corpse and sighed loudly caught the necklace he had just thrown up and hung it around his neck.

Facing the dark and greedy crowd that seemed to cover the sky, his golden eyes not only did not appear dim, but shone brightly.

"You bastards—want to grab?"

"What I'm looking for, are you the ones who snatched it!"
