[Beauty and the Beast] Rose Castle

Not daring to look at him, I turned and ran upstairs, went back to my room, and closed the door with a "bang".Touching his cheek, it was still extremely hot.

Strange, so strange, my heart was beating like crazy, and the roots of my ears were so hot that they were about to burn.I've never felt this way before. Just thinking about his eyes, lips, and breathing will make my eye sockets feel hot, and I have the urge to cry.I must admit that my feelings for him have reached a point where I cannot lie to myself.I'm fascinated by him.Whether it's the normal Lambert or him turned into a beast, my heart is moved.

I thought that after my heartbeat, I would start to look forward and backward, but the strange thing is that the previous worries disappeared. I no longer worry about the gap between my identity and his identity, whether he understands me, or whether we can be together How often, I just want to tell him that I like him.

After sitting on the terrace for a long time, the heat on his face finally subsided, but the feeling of rapid heartbeat never disappeared.I took a book and forced myself to immerse myself in the world of the book, but I couldn't sit still, and my mind was full of the scene of having lunch with him later.

How would he respond if I confessed to him?

At this moment, the sound of the castle gate slowly opening came from downstairs.The gate of the castle has always been closed, who is here?I gently opened the door and walked behind the stone pillars in the corridor. At the same time, Ulysses' voice sounded:

"Brother, I'm here to visit you again."

In the hall, Ulysses was wearing a snow-white military uniform, with golden tassels hanging from his epaulettes, and a white cloak that stretched the floor behind him, as if he had just rushed over from the scene of a major celebration.He glanced at the red roses on the long table and smiled: "You are willing to pick the roses outside the castle. It's really rare."

Lambert's attire was the exact opposite of him, wearing only a black coat, a white shirt, and black leather gloves, very simple.It may be due to the weakening of eyesight caused by the beast transformation. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses are placed on the bridge of his nose. A fine gold chain hangs down to the corner of his jaw and wraps around his neck with dense black scales. Coupled with his beautiful but sharp facial features, There's an elegant yet brutal sensuality.

He has always turned a blind eye to Ulysses' provocations, but today he looked directly at him and said thoughtfully, "You paid homage to the queen mother in advance?"

Ulysses' face changed: "You have no right to mention her!"

Lambert frowned slightly, and walked to Ulysses' side.The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was once tense.Lambert patted Ulysses on the shoulder, and said quietly: "I remember this is the military uniform I used to go to war. Father gave it to you, which means that he has recognized your status as the crown prince."

Ulysses shook off his hand: "You don't need to judge the matter between me and my father!"

Lambert shook his head: "The queen mother only gave birth to you and me, and you have no ambitions since you were young, which led to a purer relationship between us and brothers compared with other royal families. Growing up in such an environment, you will inevitably Simple-minded, and take things for granted."

I didn't understand him.Didn't Ulysses turn him into a beast?Why did he say that Ulysses was pure in heart?

Lambert's tone was like that of a real elder: "You are still a child at heart, how can you govern a country well like this."

Such a lofty, seemingly gentle but mocking attitude instantly angered Ulysses.He suddenly pulled out his sword and pressed it on Lambert's shoulder, only a thin line away from his neck: "You still have the face to mention the relationship between mother and us? I really can't figure it out. How could such a gentle and kind woman as the queen mother give birth to a hypocritical, cold-blooded and ruthless person like you!"

Lambert held the blade of the sword, and threw the sword down like dusting off: "Speaking of a child. When you stand in my position, you will make the same choice as me."

The more I listened, the more confused I became. It turned out that the conflict between them...wasn't because of the struggle for the throne?

"What choice? Do you think I will be as cold-blooded as you?" Ulysses took a step closer, his eyes almost red, "Tell me, what were you thinking at the time? As the crown prince, you want to centralize power, so expel the witch , I can understand; you want to expand your territory and invade the territories of neighboring countries, I can also understand... What I can't understand is that on the battlefield, when the enemy threatens you to retreat with the life of your mother, you would rather choose to sacrifice your mother than Don't choose to retreat?"

Lambert was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "I am responsible to the soldiers and the people on the border."

"It's ridiculous. Are their lives worth as much as the queen's? We are nobles, and the soldiers should fight to the death for our safety!"

"A child's mind," Lambert said.

"Don't talk to me like that!" Ulysses said in a gloomy voice, "Yes, you are more rational than me, rational enough to sacrifice your own mother in exchange for the safety of the pariah, and wiser than me to manage the country in an orderly manner. But so what? At least I'm not as heartless as you! You know, when the witch asked me what time limit to add to your curse, I chose without thinking when you gave your heart...a cold-blooded and heartless person like you Humans, how can it be possible to truly fall in love with someone. Until you die of old age, you are not worthy of turning back into a human being, you are only worthy of staying in a castle in the outskirts of the country, being a wild beast that has never seen the sun!"

It turns out that this is the truth about Lambert's transformation into a beast...

I look at Lambert.He took off his gold-rimmed glasses with one hand, and rubbed between his brows: "You are such a child. One day, you will understand my choice at that time." His tone was cruel that I had never heard before.He didn't even have the slightest remorse for his mother's death.

As a commoner, I should be grateful for his decision to kill relatives righteously.There is no doubt that he is an excellent crown prince.As his admirer, I am a little confused.Although he is not as exaggerated as in the rumors, he is almost the same... From a certain point of view, he is indeed a rational to cold, ruthless to cruel person.Such a man is suitable for taking life and killing, suitable for decisive killing, but absolutely not suitable for being a relative or lover.

On the battlefield, he can even measure the weight of life rationally... I can't help but wonder, in his eyes, am I just a tool to break the curse?

After all, according to Mrs. Teapot, he had fallen in love with me, and I had fallen in love with him.The curse should be lifted.The castle remains the same, and he is still half-human and half-beast.Maybe...he never really loved me.

Thinking of this, there was a dull pain in the chest like a heavy stone, and the thought of confessing to him was extinguished.I took two steps back and went back to my room.

After a while, there was a knock on the door outside.It appears that Ulysses has left.Thinking that he might never have liked me, my heart sank heavily.I sat on the bed with my knees hugged and whispered, "I don't have an appetite today, so don't call me."

The knock on the door stopped.I thought he was gone, and while I breathed a sigh of relief, my mood became even more depressed.The next second, the door was opened, I looked up in shock, and saw Lambert walking towards me: "What's wrong." He asked, "What's wrong?"

He frowned, tried the temperature on my forehead, and reached out to touch my belly.I stepped back quickly: "It's okay, maybe I ate too much in the morning. Just rest for a while and you'll be fine."

"Eating a lot? You only ate a piece of bread." He seemed to really care about me, and he even remembered what I ate clearly. "If you feel unwell, you must tell me, and you can't hide anything."

"Okay, okay." I nodded, "Go out quickly, I want to be alone for a while."

He looked at me for a few seconds and suddenly asked, "Are you still angry with me?"

My mind is in a mess, and I am answering purely instinctively, "Why are you angry?"

He sat down beside me.I don't want to see him, so I look elsewhere.With one hand propped on the bed, he leaned down, and the fine gold chains of his glasses hung down to my cheeks, dangling in front of my eyes.

I wanted to brush off the thin chain, but he grabbed my wrist and said flatly: "After becoming a beast, I didn't actually lose my mind, but I just lost control over my body."

I froze: "Then you..."

"During the beast transformation, my instincts were amplified, and my body was completely driven by my instincts." His voice was hoarse, "That's why I was so angry that 'it' got close to you."

That is to say, at that time, he was instinctively getting close to me, instinctively kissing me, instinctively wanting to be close to me... Is that so?I was confused again, whether I should believe what he said or not.

"I don't know if 'it' is part of me..." He looked down at me, his eyes were so focused, for a moment, I really thought he was in love with me, "I only know that when 'it' kiss When you were there, I was jealous, very jealous."
