princess of don quixote

Law-5

……

Outside Don Quixote's castle, the lawn.

Delo, who was sitting alone on the lawn, looked preoccupied and was in a daze, not even knowing that Luo passed by.

Seeing her dazed face, looking at the sky with her lips open, Luo felt strange, so she deliberately walked behind her, and called her in a low voice: "Hello."

"..." She still didn't respond.

"Hey?"

"..."

"Hello!" He yelled impatiently, and put his hand on De Luo's shoulder. The latter woke up as if he had just woken up from a dream, and naturally he was so frightened that he screamed strangely.

"Wooah! What's wrong?" Delo came back to her senses and looked at Luo.

"Why do you have a weird face?" His tone was very flat, but compared to the beginning, Dolo knew that this was already a sign that Luo cared about others.She looked back at Luo's face, and it happened that what she was thinking about was also related to him, and she was depressed, so she sighed on the spot.

"Hey, what's the matter?" Naturally, Luo felt confused, and frowned——

And Delo pouted, and lay down on the lawn again.

Yes, it will be around noon today.

She passed by Luo, Baby-5 and Buffalo's training ground, overheard their conversation, and knew that Luo's birthday was on October [-]th.

Besides, even Baby5 and Buffalo know their own birthdays.They talked about the details of the island where she was born, and she was the only one who... didn't know her birthday, and never celebrated her birthday.

Although she has been very happy since she was a child and was able to grow up under the blessing of her two elder brothers, whenever this topic is mentioned, her whole body will feel as if cold water has been severely poured on her - she will be a little hurt.

It felt like being reminded of the fact that I was just an orphan.

She has no parents and no blood relatives. She has lived in this castle since she has memories, but living here, although she has the surname of Don Quixote, she actually never feels that she and her two brothers relationship is equal.

She's just a picked up sister.

Whenever she thinks about it, it makes her feel lonely.

At the same time, she will also feel that she is just a young lady who can't leave the castle, is named Don Quixote, but actually doesn't even know what her birthday is, and is incompatible with everything here and is not free.

Every child here is growing up, but what about her?

Some time ago, even the request to go to sea together was rejected, and she became more and more confused about her own thoughts.

"Why are you in a daze?" Just when she was lost in thought, Luo's impatient voice came again.

Only then did Delo come back to her senses, and replied a little tiredly: "I'm thinking about a... a question that belongs to me. I think I will never get an answer."

"What the hell?" Luo frowned, "Why are you so weird?"

"Pfft, I was just thinking about my birthday!" She chuckled, then lay on the ground and turned to look in Luo's direction, and told him in a low voice, "I've always been thinking about this, after all, it's about myself But I don’t think my elder brother will know, after all, I was picked up since I was a baby.”

She said this lightly, but Luo Ting didn't feel this way in her heart.

For a long time, Delo has been the eldest lady of this castle. Everyone thought that she was just a pampered and innocent greenhouse floret, but who knew that behind her frank smile, there was actually such troubles?

Being able to say this sentence so normally means that she has never forgotten that she is just a picked up child.

And since she failed to make her forget and let her always care about such trivial matters, it means that Doflamingo has never dealt with the anxiety in Dolo's heart, right?

The life here is not regarded as home by her.

Sure enough, he guessed right, Delo has been very lonely.

Luo was aware of her emotions, but he didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only say indiscriminately, "Let's forget things like birthdays? I don't know how to celebrate."

As he said this, he noticed a gloomy look in Dolo's eyes.

"That's right." Delo responded softly, turned over and touched the novel beside her, ready to leave.

And Luo looked at her, knowing that his answer just now had messed up the matter, and a trace of depression appeared in his heart. He couldn't bear to look at her sad profile, and a thought flashed in his mind: "You and I are the same age."

"Well, my brother said yes." Delo nodded: "He said he picked me up in winter."

"Then..." Luo looked at her, and the eyes under the spotted hat read earnestly: "October [-]th."

"Huh?" Dolo was a little confused.

"October [-]." He repeated again: "From now on, this day will be your birthday."

Luo turned his head away, "If you don't know the birthday date, you can decide one yourself. Your birthday is scheduled for October [-]th. If you are older than me, I will feel angry."

Listening to his domineering declaration, Delo couldn't react at first, and then smiled uncontrollably—her smile suddenly returned to the original carefree, but more than that, tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes.

Luo was taken aback by this. He thought she was about to cry, so he jumped up and looked at her: "Hey, what's the matter with you! Don't cry!"

"Hold, I'm sorry..." De Luo covered her eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised uncontrollably: "Because I'm really happy, starting from today, I also have a birthday!"

"Idiot!!" Luo breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't just cry casually."

"I didn't cry wildly! Idiot!" Delo covered her face, and the voices of bickering with Luo gradually came again, filling the relaxed atmosphere of the whole grassland, and gradually washing away the heavy air just now...

And Luo just quarreled with her selflessly. Speaking of which, in normal times, if he was called a fool like this, he would definitely be angry, right?

But now, he was moved by her every frown and smile.When communicating with her, he always felt that his empty heart was filled with that warmth, which gradually dispelled some of the darkness in his heart.

This even made him come up with an idea - that is, if he was going to die eventually, he would be very reluctant to part with her.

After all, was she the one who threatened to give him happiness?

When he came to the Don Quixote family, he never thought that he would find warmth in this family. All he wanted was to destroy the world and take revenge. Even if he died, it didn't matter at all, but only De radish……

She was like sunshine, providing a little warmth to his ashesy heart, a little bit, a little bit, making him have other thoughts besides revenge.

He kept thinking in his heart that she was the only one, and he didn't want to tell her about his impending death—after all, he didn't want to see her cry like a mess.

He didn't really want to see her tears. After all, if this was the case, he probably wouldn't be able to die simply. He would become very eager to live, and would become very unwilling.

It was nice that she was sick when he first came to the family and didn't know about his past.

……

But things backfired. With more and more white spots on Luo's face and body, De Luo finally knew the truth about Luo's disease and Luo's limited lifespan.Even, she learned about it from someone else—when she was secretly waiting for Luo, when she heard Baby-5 and Buffalo concerned about Luo's condition in a natural tone, and at the same time asking about the life expectancy, she suddenly Feeling flustered, he left the scene as if fleeing.

She turned and ran like that, recognized her footsteps on the scene, and immediately caught up with her, but she ran so fast that even he couldn't stop her, he could only see her rushing back to him room, the door was shut with a bang.

Luo looked at the corridor in front of her and the closed door of her room, her pair of gray eyes slightly rounded under the spotted hat, and then there was another layer of despair and exhaustion.

... That's right, no matter how much she hides it, Dolo will know about it one day.

Recently, when he was with her, he would occasionally experience some strange physical reactions due to this palliative disease, such as headaches, body pains, etc., which had already worried her a lot.

And he told a lot of lies in order to hide it from her.

Knowing the truth from others like this, she will definitely be angry... probably, she will also cry.

Thinking of this, he bit his lip and decided to have a good talk with her.

……

Bang bang bang!

Luo tried his best, but the people inside didn't respond to him at all.

Suddenly, Luo felt a little flustered, so he simply ignored the etiquette, opened the door and barged in regardless of her wishes—he couldn't remember how long he hadn't been in Delo's room, and he still had sex with him here. It was the same as the last time I came, there were several bookshelves, and all kinds of books were scattered all over the place, all of which were gifts brought back by Doflamingo and Corazon when they went out.

At this moment, the Dolo was curled up above the big bed by the window, covering himself with a quilt.The sound of sobbing came intermittently from the quilt group, making Luo realize... After all, she heard everything about him and made her cry.Luo who rushed in was stopped by the crying, and he stood in front of her bed with helpless and sad eyes.

"Hey…"

"Please don't talk to me, for now." Delo said in the quilt, her voice was full of tears and resentment.

"I didn't say it on purpose, it's just... I don't know how to tell you..."

"……I am angry!"

"I know, but Dolo..."

"..."

She didn't respond to him anymore, and she even hugged the quilt and moved further into the bed, as if to keep a distance from him.

And Luo stood in front of her bed, although there was only a quilt between her and her, but a thought appeared in his heart.He suddenly thought - what should he do if she just keeps silent like this and ignores him for the rest of his time?Obviously, De Luo is the girl he likes and cares about the most in this mansion...

At this moment, Luo confessed his feelings quite honestly in his heart.

But he couldn't care less about being surprised at himself. On the contrary, he just sat on the edge of De Luo's bed with a worried face, and many worries in his mind were in a mess—if his actions made her sad all her life, What should he do?

It's her alone, he doesn't want her to be angry and sad for him, he just wants to see her smile.

"Hey, don't be angry, okay?" His tone was a little humble.

"..."

"Dro!"

He frowned, and stretched out his hand to tear off her quilt—only to find that in the quilt, the girl was clumsily wrapping herself in her feathers, covering her cheeks and crying sadly.Seeing that she was hurting like this, Luo stretched out his hand and pulled her up: "Delo, the only thing I don't want to see is you crying for me."

And she was picked up by Luo just like that, and when she finally figured out the reason of those white spots on Luo's body, she cried even harder with a whimper.

Her tears rolled down from her eye sockets, she was crying embarrassingly, even though she had tried her best to bite her lower lip to endure, she still cried until her nose came out, and the tears quickly left dark traces on the bed .

"..." Luo looked at the girl kneeling in front of him. Perhaps because of emotional fluctuations, her transformed wings kept trying to push him away, but the strength was not worth mentioning. Even he only needed to lightly push him away. With a slight push, the feathers on her bathrobe fell off.

He couldn't bear to see her wasting so much effort, so he hugged her into his arms again: "Okay, don't cry!"

"But... But, why is it Luo Jun? Why is it the best Luo Jun? Why is Luo Jun suffering from this disease? I really don't want Luo Jun to die. Really, I am so scared now, I should What should I do? It's really, really uncomfortable...It's very uncomfortable...I can't calm down at all..." De Luo's head was pressed by his hands on his shoulders, and his clothes were wet with warm tears, but he didn't Dirty.

Instead, he gradually felt that he was being burned by her temperature, and his whole body felt as if he was being burned.

The sadness that was hidden deep in his heart was finally touched, and Luo's eye sockets gradually became moist—even though he desperately bit his lower lip to prevent his tears from falling, he finally hugged Delo and cried.

The two thin children hugged each other like this, and Delo soon began to sob. Even so, she was still scolding: "I'm an idiot. I clearly said that I would do my best to make you happy, but I didn't know that you... You are suffering so much pain, if it is me, it will be fine, if it is me who has this disease, you can..."

De Luo cried more and more sadly, she kept thinking, why not her?It would be nice if it was her.

A useless young lady who was kept captive in the castle, she had been abandoned a long time ago, if she was the one who got sick and left, it probably wouldn't be a loss, right?Not only did she not find what she wanted to do, but she also had nothing she could do. She was really useless...

She mixed the blame for herself with the distress for Luo, and all kinds of emotions surged, making her cry.

And Luo listened to her venting, and at that moment, for some reason, he understood all the uneasiness in De Luo's heart.

So when he listened to those words, instead of feeling ironic, he felt very warm.

"Don't say such things, you have been..."

Always saved him.

Luo couldn't finish his sentence, so he just hugged De Luo and cried.

After all, it was the first time he heard someone say such words, such gentle words, and he hadn't heard them since he left White Town.

The softness in his heart was touched for a moment, and his nose and heart were almost sore.He cried louder and louder, and remembered a lot of the past——

Obviously in the past, many people avoided him just by hearing about his illness, but this idiot Delo, who obviously didn't understand anything, chose to hug him tightly without hesitation—from the first day From the beginning of the meeting, she never smiled at him stingily.

The time with her is a joy.

It is also happiness that makes him reluctant to despair.

He suddenly really didn't want to die, wished so much to stay in this world, but he was also very unwilling——

The two children, who were thinking about different things in their hearts, hugged each other and cried loudly. Finally, tired of crying, they fell asleep together on the bed.

This scene was seen by Corazon, who passed by and saw the door open. He walked into Delo's room holding his voice, and looked at the poor child who was still hugging her tightly in his sleep, with red and swollen eyes from crying, and tears still in the corners of his eyes , I just felt that his heart began to hurt so hard to breathe.

Lo was a heart-wrenching child, and so was Delo, and so were many of the orphans in this castle.

How long is he going to wait in this desperate chain of castles?Corazon didn't say anything, just bent down, using the ability of the devil fruit to block all sounds, and then gently, lightly covered the two children with quilts.

"Go to sleep."

He said softly, the bottom of his eyes was filled with tenderness that no one knew——
