after the little prince got married

So Ansai silently made a wish in his heart: "I hope that next year, at my birthday party, I can dance the first dance with the fool Auden."

Anyway, he is the birthday star, and the servants all said that the goddess of winter can hear the birthday star's words.

The turning point of the disease occurred in early October, when the autumn wind was bleak outside the house, and the leaves fell due to the wind. Occasionally someone passed by and stepped on the dry leaves by mistake, making a "crash" noise.That night, Ansai had a splitting headache, and even after the dream, the severe pain still did not disappear.The frame of his left eye was swollen and painful, and the fragile eyeball seemed to explode at any time, and the temple on the same side also felt bursts of tingling pain.

The pain led to a brief awakening. When he opened his eyes, he found that there was only a dim bedside lamp on in the room. Auden was sitting under the bedside lamp and writing a book. He had no desk, so he had to put the documents on the Legs, bent over trying to read the words on the book.Noticing Ansai's awakening, he was ecstatic, but immediately covered his mouth in the next second, not daring to make too much noise.

"You're awake!" He suddenly stood up from the chair, and the documents were scattered all over the floor, so he had to tidy up in a hurry, saying, "I...you have been asleep for a long time."

He hid too many things that he wanted to tell Ansai, what he wanted to say to Ansai, and he had fantasized about what he should do on the day when he could really say it, but when that day really came, he actually rehearsed everything in his heart I forgot all the sentences many times, so I had to repeat the sentence "just wake up" dozens of times.The lower half of Ansai's face was hidden under the quilt, revealing only a pair of tired eyes. His left eye was tightly closed, and he listened quietly to Auden's words.

It wasn't until Auden finally stopped his behavior and stood blankly in front of the bed that he told the other party very lightly, "My head hurts so much."

"Am I going to die?" he asked.

"No!" Auden said firmly, "You will live, you will live for hundreds of years, thousands of years, you will live... There are still many things we haven't done yet."

Ansai laughed: "I'm not an old monster."

Auden was clumsy with his tongue, and couldn't speak to Ansai at all, so he could only stand by the bed and stare at him desperately. Due to the long-term illness in the bed, the person on the bed was so thin that only a skeleton remained. Her hair turned into dry grass, her complexion was pale, and even her lips didn't even have a trace of blood, like those untended flower trees in the palace garden, with dry leaves that would fall to the ground when the wind blows.Ansai's eyes were slack, and there was no expression on that delicate and moving face even though he was dying of illness - he really didn't have the energy to express his emotions anymore.He seemed to be looking at the ceiling, but he didn't seem to see anything, which made Oden's originally strong heart full of scars and became fragile and soft.

Ansai twitched the corners of his mouth and made a smiling expression. His hands protruded from the edge of the quilt, and his fingertips moved slightly, as if he was trying to grab something, which gave Auden a tiny, unrealistic hope.

Ansai said, "I seem to have seen her."

He asked Oden: "Is she here to pick me up?" Or some other nonsense enough to break Oden's heart, Oden immediately retorted: "No one came to pick you up, you misread it!"

"Really." Ansai said softly.

"Yes!" Oden declared decisively, "Honey, you will be fine, and we will spend all the holidays, birthdays, and wedding anniversaries together in the future!"

Ansai laughed again, this time his eyes finally managed to focus, and Auden's eyes met, they looked at each other for a long time, as if they could re-experience all the lost light and shade just through the communication between the extensions In that way, Ansai announced: "If I die, you will have to mourn for me for three years."

Auden said solemnly: "I will guard you forever."

"Are you stupid?" Ansai said softly, "We haven't known each other for less than a year, but a lifetime is so long, it's better not to throw it all on people like me..."

Auden immediately said anxiously: "No matter how long my life is, it's my whole life. I'm willing to guard you. You can't control me!"

"Okay then." Ansai replied helplessly, "I will work hard to get better, and I will dance the opening dance with you at the birthday party next year. I made a wish, and it will be on my birthday."

Not long after, he fell asleep again, circling Fredka's breakfast time.

Until a certain morning in November—as for why Ansai knew it was November, it was because there was always someone telling the time in his ear, and he woke up in a daze, just in time to hear a strange middle-aged The man was making the conclusion: "In short, Your Highness, my personal suggestion is... prepare for the funeral early, your mausoleum..." But before he finished speaking, Auden angrily Let him get out, followed by a mess of footsteps, as if someone was pacing back and forth in the room anxiously.

"He promised me that he will get better!" Auden lowered his voice and kept repeating this sentence.

Then came the voice of the old king, trying to comfort his poor son who was about to face the pain of being widowed, but after a few words, he did not make another sound.He is well versed in the truth that "some things can only be faced by the person concerned alone", and he knows that persuasion is doomed to be fruitless, and his wounds can only be licked by himself, and time is the best medicine for wounds.

Ansai didn't want to be the wound on Auden's heart, and it could only become a meritorious scar in the end, which was forgotten by him or used by others to brag about it.

That afternoon Anse dreamed again of Fredeka's breakfast, but this time no servant came to call him.The entire palace was empty and silent. He walked through the corridor that was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar with it, and walked into the restaurant. This time he didn't meet Belika at the door of the restaurant.Belika sat in the dining room where she used to sit and waited for her. The dining table was large and empty, with nothing placed on it. It was exactly the same as the table in the meeting room on the second floor, which made Ansai feel a kind of brat. Delic III would appear at any time, and sat at the front of the table, with his hands crossed on the table, coldly announcing the illusion that "the family meeting begins now".

He walked to the seat next to Belika and sat down, looking at her.Belika's expression was very serious, her eyes were downcast, and she didn't make any eye contact with Ansai.She tapped the tabletop alternately with the tips of her index finger and middle finger, and when she hit the tenth time, she suddenly asked, "Who am I?"

Just like a benevolent examiner, in order to let the students who have studied hard for a whole year get excellent grades, he deliberately asked a basic question, and only waited for the students to answer the questions and hand in the paper, and they would be able to congratulate him immediately Get full marks.

But Ansai quickly and resolutely replied: "It's my sister!"

"Answer—wrong!" Belika smiled playfully and not at all ladylike, showing two stupid little rabbit teeth, and she announced happily, "But I still decided to send you back. The book will be left behind." I'll keep it for you, my time is up, I'll go first!"

The book she mentioned was called "Dreams" and it was one of Belika's favorite books. Anse did not remember the plot, but never forgot when Belika received her fifth birthday present from her mother. , written by her own hand on the title page of the book: "I have a dream, that there will be no war in the kingdom, and that the six countries on the mainland can live in harmony."

Everything around suddenly became dim, fuzzy, and fragmented, and Belika's back gradually shrank into a small white star, lonely and cold in the middle of the dark world, emitting a faint light.

Ansai's illness began to improve rapidly. He no longer had lethargy and fever, and he could eat all kinds of porridge that Auden specially asked the cook to cook. The two doctors of Matilda came over almost every day to use All the equipment available to check him from the beginning to the end, I just wish I could bring a magnifying glass over to see if the princess's skin folds are different from ordinary people.

In early December, Mandelff received a letter from Berry Brown, but at that time Auden was reading with great interest the book with a blank cover brought back by him, Frederick, such a rare scene It was the first time Ansai saw it, and it was quite interesting, so he watched it all morning unconsciously.But just half an hour before lunch, Oden suddenly slammed the book on the coffee table, and his face changed to green at a speed visible to the naked eye.At first, Ansai thought that Auden didn't want to be stared at, so he retracted silently under the quilt, but he waited for a long time—maybe as long as 12 minute, and he didn't hear Auden's movement. He sneaked his head out of the bed, wanting to see what happened.

At this moment, Auden was holding a letter opener in one hand and clutching Borui's letter in the other. Ansai felt that the poor knife was about to be overwhelmed and turned into a "scimitar" abruptly. He wanted to stop it with a voice. , but didn't know where to start, so he lay down beside the bed and looked in Auden's direction.

Auden opened the letter and looked at it, his face turned greener, as if he would go crazy in a second, from a strong golden-haired fool to a strong golden-haired lunatic who lost his mind, he took the letter and the Shushu strode up to Ansai, sneered, and read: "I dreamed of him again tonight..."

——Isn’t this… my 16-year-old stupid diary?Why did it appear in Auden's hands!

"Give it back to me!" the little prince screamed, he really wanted to jump up from the bed, throw himself on Auden's head, block that mouth with his fist, or tear it up, snatch the diary and throw it into the Stove, but now it's clear he can't.He has been ill for too long, even now that his body has healed, he is still weak, and he can't even summon the elements, so he can only sit under the quilt, panting rapidly, while listening to Auden read: "He wears gold-rimmed glasses, Tall, with a gentle face and a dignified appearance, he embraced me in his arms..."

Auden put the diary aside, looked at Ansai with a half-smile, and said in an extremely gentle voice, "What a coincidence, dear, the first sentence in the letter of your dream lover is to say hello to you."

The author has something to say:

Old King: Alas—it’s so pitiful that the goose will soon be widowed, but when will my daughter-in-law come back?

Ansai: Alas—I can’t even dream.
