[Beauty and the Beast] Rose Castle

Along the way, no matter how much I begged, he would not respond.

Back at the castle, compared with when I left, there has also been a great change here: the black cloud is so hazy that it almost becomes real, and the lightning falls from time to time, striking the top of the magnificent tower of the castle.Passing through the sunny rose field, the temperature suddenly dropped to sub-zero, the wind and snow roared and rolled, and the doors, windows and stone walls of the castle were covered with thick frost.

Seeing all this, I was so shocked that I forgot to speak, how did it become like this...Looking up at Lambert, he kept looking straight ahead, without squinting, I could only see his thin and sharp jaw.

Walking into the castle, he threw me on the sofa by the fireplace, found the medicine box, sat down with his back to me, and looked down at the wound on his arm.A month passed, and his long, graceful fingers became thickly knuckled, with sharp, barbed nails.He seemed to want to bandage the wound, but his nails always caught flesh and blood accidentally.After coming and going, he frowned impatiently, gave up bandaging, leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

I hesitated for a moment, then walked over, picked up the medicine and bandages, and squatted beside him.Before my hand touched his arm, he suddenly opened his eyes and said a word coldly: "Get lost."

"Get out after bandaging." I opened the wound medicine, spread the white powder evenly on the wound, then cut off a section of bandage, and gently wrapped it around his wound.After doing all this, I stood up, turned around and prepared to leave, but he grabbed my wrist and said in a hoarse voice, "Do you often seduce men like this?"

This kind of humiliation is not once or twice.I couldn't bear it anymore, and turned around to glare at him: "Yes, I am such a vicious woman who likes to seduce men when my father is seriously ill. I advise you to let me go quickly, or you will be schemed by me and lose everything."

The voice fell, and the atmosphere fell into dead silence.

It's really meaningless to speak so badly at each other.I turned my head irritably, ready to shake off his hand and go back to the previous room to rest.But he suddenly increased his strength and pulled me back.I was caught off guard and almost hit the armrest of the chair with the back of my head.He took my head in one hand, leaned over, and put his other hand directly through the crook of my knee, and hugged me into his lap.

My chest heaved violently, looking at his calm face, I just felt inexplicable.

"What are you going to do?"

He looked down at me, with complex emotions in his eyes. In addition to the shocking possessiveness, there seemed to be fleeting sadness and despair... I don’t know if these emotions are my illusion, because they only stayed for a moment, and after a moment , leaving only a strong desire for aggression.

"I'll give you a chance," he said flatly, "seduce me."

I don't know how he said these words without changing his face.I was even more inexplicable: "I'm not interested. Let me go."

His ugly and terrifying fingers slid across my forehead, cheeks, and chin, and finally stayed on my lips: "Stay here. I will give you whatever you want."

I didn't expect the relationship between us to become so deformed. We were still in harmony a month ago... For a moment, heavy regret filled my chest. Maybe I shouldn't have left without saying goodbye, but I didn't leave the castle , How can you be sure that your father is safe and sound.This is an unsolvable question, staying is cheating, leaving is still cheating.I was suddenly tired, closed my eyes and said, "I didn't mean to leave, Lambert. My father picked the castle roses and got seriously ill. I have to go back..."

He pointed out without emotion: "So, you came here because of your father in the first place. Saving me is just a lie."

I struggled to squeeze out my voice, "I'm sorry."

"What about the kiss?"

"...for self-protection."

"Very good." He nodded indifferently and repeated, "Very good."

"But then, I really thought about how to save you. Although you were changed by the witch, your essence is kind... I can feel it. You are not as cold-blooded and cruel as in the legend. But you know , Falling in love with someone is not that easy, it’s not something you can do with your lips, I..." The more I explain, the more confused I become, "If I can, I will definitely choose to fall in love with you and help you break the curse."

"Yes. You are so kind."

I probably said something wrong again, and I was about to say a few more words to make amends, but he pushed me away, got up and walked to the stairs: "Thank you for your frankness, for letting me understand how self-indulgent I am."

"That was not what I meant!"

He stopped and didn't look back: "Yes. Then let me ask you, do you like me? "

I froze for a moment.

In the past month, no matter how I suppressed my inner emotions, his face, his voice, his body temperature, and even the smell of his neck and wrists always came to my mind involuntarily.This kind of uncontrollable emotion...is it a liking?

I hesitated for two seconds.He nodded, paused for a while, and shook his head again: "Forget it, it's better not to humiliate yourself."

"Wait……"

Before the sound came out of his throat, he walked up the stairs without looking back, and his figure disappeared into the darkness.

I stood in the empty hall, a little overwhelmed.

There is no doubt that I have a crush on him.When he was a human being, he was dignified and full of self-cultivation, and he had a royal temperament that I could never touch in my life. As long as she was a woman, she would not be able to resist such an outstanding man.So... when he was a beast?

Perhaps because of the curse, he was turned into a beast, and he acted rudely, spoke frankly, and did not consider other people's feelings at all.But I am no longer as disgusted as I was before...

Is it because you have a crush on him, or because you already... fell in love with him?

I covered my forehead, feeling more and more bewildered.

"Do you want to talk to her?"

"She is a liar, cheating the master's feelings!"

"But she doesn't seem to be doing anything..."

I raised my head sensitively: "Who is talking?"

The long table clanged and clashed.Besides Lambert, is there anyone else in this castle?Does Lambert know?For a moment, my back felt cold, I looked around for a while, picked up a novel that Lambert hadn't finished, held it in my hand, and tiptoed to the long table.

The ferocious and terrifying monster in the imagination did not appear. On the long table, there was only a set of exquisite sterling silver tableware.I was a little puzzled: "It's strange... the sound is coming from here."

At this time, a spoon bounced: "Miss Rosa."

I was startled: "What?"

The spoon cleared its "throat". Of course, it cleared its throat by jumping on the dinner plate twice: "We are the servants of this castle, Miss Rosa. Please allow me to introduce, this is Mrs. Teapot, Your previous three meals were all arranged by her; this one is the steward of the castle," its spoon handle pointed to the clock on the wall, and the pendulum swung a cold snort, as if it didn't seem to like me very much, "this one, It's my love, Miss Bowl. Her creamy truffle soup is amazing."

I was shocked for a long time before I accepted the fact that the furniture can talk: "It turns out that the voice I heard before was you..."

"It's us." Spoon said apologetically, "I'm so sorry for disturbing your rest."

I supported the table and waved my hands: "It's okay, why are you looking for me...?" It's unbelievable that one day I will talk to a spoon.

"I don't know what you are thinking." The clock said coldly, "Do you think this village woman is the master's true love?"

"Shut up, Richards. The master is in love with her, can't you see it? There is only one condition for the curse to be lifted, that is, two people truly love each other, and it doesn't matter if one party doesn't fall in love with the other. Now, she is lifting the curse." only option."

"Slow, slow." My head became dizzy again, "Is Lambert in love with me? You must be mistaken. I am really just a village woman... There is nothing about him that he likes."

"Son, we are all 'old people' who grew up with our master. Whether he is in love with you or not, we know better than he himself." Mrs. Teapot said kindly, "A month ago, because of your appearance, his animalization was actually It has stopped and even started to subside, but then you left without saying goodbye, which made him angry and painful. On the second day after you left, he had already found out your address and the reason for approaching him, but he never bothered you .If it wasn't for the sudden appearance of a giant python near your village to hurt people, he wouldn't have come near where you live at all."

"...So, he already knew."

Mrs. Teapot sighed: "It is precisely because he knows that he is so sad and sad! In the past month, he has turned into a beast at an unprecedented speed. Originally, we expected to live until next spring, but now it seems that he can survive until the middle of winter." Not bad."

The clock said: "What are you doing complaining to a liar? If you die, you will die. I have had enough of this strange appearance."

"Richards!" The spoon tapped the table warningly.

The clock snorted.

Mrs. Teapot ignored him and continued: "Now, the master's condition is very bad. Every night, he loses his mind and only has hunting instincts like a wild beast. In order to prevent himself from going out and hurting others, he locked himself in the In the dungeon, even if his body is covered in blood. He is a good boy, Miss Rosa. I beg you here to give him a chance to transform back into a human." After saying that, it tilted the body of the jug and bowed deeply. Bow, the lid of the pot above his head fell to the table with a "bang".

The spoon shook its handle, and it also fell upside down on the table.Seeing other furniture, they all learned something.For a while, there was a thud in the castle, and pieces of furniture fell down.Seeing this, the clock stopped silently, and the hour and minute hands hung down, bowing their heads because of their master's fate.

In fact, even if they don't ask me, I will find a way to turn Lambert back into a human.It's just that I still don't know what my feelings for him are.do i like himDo I... love him?

After he turns back into a human, with the gap between us, can there be a future?

"I'll do my best." I whispered.

I just don't know if love has tried its best to say it.

In the evening, Mrs. Teapot got ready for dinner, but Lambert did not come down for a long time.At this moment, a gloomy and manic roar suddenly came from upstairs, accompanied by the sound of heavy objects collapsing.Mrs. Teapot's voice changed: "Oops, he lost his mind early. Miss Rosa, find a place to hide, this is no joke!"
