Joey held his breath, stared at the queen in the mirror without blinking, and his heart beat like a drum.

She didn't know whether the sharp-eyed woman in front of her had discovered her, so she had to try her best to weaken her sense of existence and hope for luck.

"Mother, do you prefer blue or green?"

A girl with the same beauty as the queen ran from the side, holding two gorgeous long skirts, the joy on her face was like a bird.

"I'm going to die, Camilla."

Casiluda looked away from the mirror, looking at her child distractedly.

"Which one do you want to wear at tomorrow's ceremony?"

The happy girl didn't care about her mother's self-pity, and still asked cheerfully.

"Whenever I look at the lake at dusk, I can see Carcosa on the far side."

Camilla's happy expression suddenly darkened, and her delicate face was full of impatient danger that was about to come.But in a blink of an eye, she restrained those emotions that did not fit her identity, and blamed the Queen.

"Stop joking, Queen Mother. I'm asking seriously, but you're talking about a city that doesn't exist. If Carcosa is really just across the lake, shouldn't someone already notice it?"

The carefree girl smiled at her suspicious mother, then waved the dresses in her hands, motioning for Cassilda to look at them.

"Sorry, Camilla. I've been reading some old stories lately and they're making my head go crazy." She brushed the two skirts casually. "Green then, dear."

"You really think green is better?"

"It's all the same, Camilla." The Queen turned to look at her, "Did you see Wachter?"

The girl shrugged. "Didn't see him after dinner. I think he went to the library."

She happily ran back to the room with her skirt in her hand. Kasiruda looked at her energetic back for a while, and then turned to the window again.

She tilted her head slightly as if she was whispering to someone, or talking to herself.

"Oh, really? But I did see it."

Even if the words were said to another person, Joy couldn't spare the time to answer her, and now she was in a mysterious state.

It was different from the feeling of absolute control that moved with Kasiruda's movements when the joints were strangled by thin wires just now.Now her soul seems to be divided into several parts by copying and pasting, and each soul keeps up with different people.

They were like kites tied by these strangers, floating randomly not far away, peeking at all the dirty secrets that should have been hidden in the dark forever.

The queen's worried son, Wachter, conspired with her elder brother, Prince Adonis, to take the position of the heir. Nautauba, the priest of the convent who hid his figure by virtue of the yellow king's afterglow, and another prince, Tyre, secretly snooped With the conspiracy of the two.

When Wachter, who was deceived by the ambitious man, hurried away, the drunk guards of the palace sang to the ambitious prince in the garden——

"I dance in bright gardens,

Surrounded by vines, flowers and weeds.

The last son was lost, the second son died,

The eldest son seeks for power!

I dance where the fire falls

The unknown king is coming,

Bring what we think we need,

Take away the common ways of the world! "

The crazy guard bowed to the prince and priest under the spell: "Good night, my lords. I hope you can get back your shadow."

"Good night, fake guard!" He said goodbye to the prince with a smile.

When he met the princess wearing a hood, he saluted her blue skirt: "Take care, fool who shows his face!"

Bramchas laughed and jumped out of the garden messily, as if performing an absurd ballet.

"What a weirdo!" Camilla frowned and avoided the drunkard. She put down her hood and looked up at Adonis. "Uncle, what are you calling me here so late? It's cold here."

"Xuades is very close and warm tonight."

The eloquent uncle gently comforted her, and viciously fabricated a well-arranged conspiracy.

"I know your time is precious, but take my time with the horrific fact that your brother Wachter forged the papers that your mother made him heir to, and stamped them with a stolen seal .”

"what?!!"

The two hiding under the magic of the order silently watched a corner of this even bigger conspiracy.

Adonis pretended to be indignant at Wachter's misdeeds, quietly contributed to the flames, and led the girls to plan a horrific crime-they set up a scheme to lure poor Wachter to the garden, and instructed the guards to take him as a prisoner imprisoned in a tower.

And their dear mother, the queen of Iti, and the supreme ruler of the kingdom, Kasiruda, personally ordered the killing of the youngest child imprisoned in the tower.

The poor mother has not yet known that her child has been killed by her hands!

She danced and danced with the crowd at the ball, and sometimes asked where the ghost was in her melancholy words.

"I don't know, Queen Mother." Her beloved daughter replied with a smile, and then spun into the middle of the dance floor with her partner wearing a blank mask opposite.

Kasiruda looked at the masked nobles that filled the palace, and suddenly remembered the crazy words of the alcoholic guard——

"I am afraid of the lake of Harry, where Carcosa stands on the far shore!

Carcosa casts her tower

The sky projected on the water of Lake Harry

night moon

Landed silently after their shadows. "

Her fragile and sensitive nerves were tense, and she hugged herself like a chill: "I haven't had time to find the yellow seal yet..."

However, Carcosa, the city of giant towers, was already standing tall on the lake in the distance. The huge tower pointed straight to the sky, and the top of the tower could not be seen.The stars in the pink sky were disappearing one by one, leaving countless black holes, and a small misshapen moon stood in front of Carcosa's tower.

Casiluda stood before the throne through the crowd, and she sang—

"Along the shores the clouds shattered, twin suns sank on the edge of the lake, long shadows descended

Calcosa.

A black star rises on a strange night, a strange moon hovers at the zenith, what is more strange than strange is

Lost Carcosa.

Hyades sings loudly, the king's rags waver, and the song that no one can hear fades away

In that dim Carcosa.

My soul still sings, my voice is dead, the tears of the unsung are dry

In that lost Carcosa. "

She sang unabashedly about the dark city of legends, which made the priests of the order and the prince who supported him panic, and Tyre hurried to test his mother.

"Mother, how are you doing?"

It's as polite as a greeting between strangers.

"Like my country, dying, dying."

The twilight-like tone made the prince very helpless, and he raised his hand as if surrendering to the woman who gave birth to him.

"Do you have to do this?"

"What does it mean?"

"It is well known that you are very disappointed in me."

The Queen looked at him, her eyes widening as if in great surprise.

"Tell, you are my son. As long as you get happiness, I will not be disappointed."

"You never agreed with my decision to join the Order."

"The Order brings the kingdom's downfall."

Kasiruda looked wearily at his eldest son, who he called the priest "father".

"You are terrified by death! The prophecy happened a long time ago, when the Kings' Ancestor drowned Harry in the lake, and the Yellow Seal was lost."

"It has nothing to do with that."

The queen gazed at his child, blinded by the order, as she gazed at a vexatious child.

Tire, the oldest among the queen's heirs, was annoyed by this look, and walked to Nautauba angrily.

The priest and his princely supporters converse in hushed tones, while the captain of the guard argues with Camilla and her uncle on the terrace.After a threatened breakup, Camilla looks out over Lake Harry alone.

Carcosa was reflected in her beautiful pupils, and the heir of Iti suddenly panicked.

"There are no other cities on the shore, only our ancient homeland - Iti, and I see nothing!"

The girl murmured repeatedly, as if trying to convince her eyes.But the spire of Carcosa persevered into her eyes, and the collapsed girl ran away from the terrace covering her face.

The mad guard walked up to the Queen and said, "Your Majesty, a messenger has asked for an audience. He has come from a faraway land, a kingdom ruled justly by his king... to come to our Iti and pay his respects in person. His Majesty's court."

Kasiruda nodded slightly, "Bless him."

The stranger was dressed in a robe and a pale mask.

"I have brought a message from my king."

Kasiruda looked at him: "It is our honor to hear his letter."

Stranger: "This letter is to everyone."

Kasiruda: "We should listen carefully."

"The dead king who preyed on the gods

shaded sun

Trembling Earth God Bone

the resting stars, and

Xuades was silent.

for they saw the king,

Appearing with its might,

A god who lives by his father

It feeds on its mother.

The Lord of Wisdom is the King.

King's glory shines in the sky,

His strength knows no bounds,

Inscribed in the stone. "

The stranger's voice gradually approached human beings from that strange appearance, and continued to chant softly——

"The dead king hunts the gods,

cover the sky,

The bone of the earth god trembles and trembles,

The stars rest.

And Xuades was as silent as ice.

for they saw the king,

Appearing with its might,

The dead king hunts the everlasting. "

There was chaos in the palace as the guests tried to make sense of his words.

The stranger's soft but corpse-like palm touched Camilla, and he turned his head and suddenly said——

"Have you found the yellow seal? Have you found the yellow seal? Have you found the yellow seal?"

The girl took a few steps back in panic, and stared at him in shock: "What did you say?!"

"Have you found the yellow seal? Have you found the yellow seal? Have you found the yellow seal?"

"What? No. I didn't see anything. I didn't find anything. I...I felt..."

She frantically thought of something to prevaricate him, the stranger stared at Camilla silently, and an uncomfortable atmosphere permeated.

The girl folded her hands on her chest to try to warm herself up, and the man she planned to bring into the palace in front of her made her sincerely aware that something was out of control.

"Take off your mask!!"

Camilla yelled at him sternly, trying to deny the ominous guess in her heart.

"I don't have a mask."

She approached Kasiruda in horror, her teeth were shaking from the cold: "Without a mask? Without a mask!!"

The stranger smiled at Camilla with his pale mask.

"I am real."
