devil contract

When it came time for Miles to return home, Miles walked out of the hotel, and Kane followed behind with his luggage.Dajier and his group were already standing at the door. When Miles crossed the threshold, he saw Charles standing among the others at a glance. A blue figure, slender, melancholy, beautiful, often attractive Looking at Miles.That Charles was standing in the sun, with the breeze blowing his hair.Miles saw the faint smile on the corner of his mouth when Charles looked at him, and this smile blew across Miles' heart like a warm wind.

Miles walked quickly in front of Charles.

"It's time to return home, Your Highness Miles. On behalf of the king, I wish you a smooth journey." Charles lowered his body slightly and saluted Miles with his left hand in his arms.No matter how Shire usually roars at Miles, the necessary etiquette is still required at this time.

But Shire's move deeply hurt Miles' heart.A sentence of His Highness shortened the distance between the hospitalized patients.He doesn't need Shire to add those honorifics, he likes to hear his name from Shire's mouth.It has nothing to do with rights or status, Xiang Li twitched the corner of his mouth forcefully.

"Charles, I'm going back. I have a request before I leave." Miles stared at Charles's grass-colored eyes and said earnestly.

"Your Highness, please speak."

"Can you walk with me for a while?" Miles asked.

Ciel's body froze, and Sebas narrowed his eyes in displeasure.

"Is it okay to just be friends? I'm just a little bit reluctant, after all, we've been together for so long. Just friends, can't you?" There was a hint of pleading in Miles' eager evidence.

"Okay." Charles nodded.

"Thank you, let's go." After Miles finished speaking, he didn't say anything to embarrass Charles, and walked forward.The pace is firm and decisive, as if determined to give up everything.

Charles followed behind Miles without saying a word, and suddenly stopped in Miles walking ahead, and turned around.

"It's only Shire, is that okay?" Miles was talking to Shire, but his eyes were on Sebastian Shire in recent years.

Semus frowned.

"Sebastian, stay and wait for me." Without looking back, Charles said.

"Is this really okay, young master?" Sebastian asked coldly, keeping his eyes on Charles' back.

"That's it, I'll be back soon." Charles said firmly.

"Then there is no other way, I understand, master." Sebas closed his eyes and bowed along Ciel's back.

Charles followed behind Miles, and the two of them had nothing to say as soon as they followed.Charles glanced at Miles and found a gloomy look on his face.But Shire thought it was because he didn't want to go back to his country, so he didn't have such a weird feeling for Miles.The scenery on the road became more and more familiar. When the field of vision became wider, Shire saw a wide and sudden place connected with the sky.A gust of wind blows, carrying the faint fragrance of wildflowers.Ciel remembered that this was the place where Miles took him for the first time.The two stood quietly on Sidmark, feeling the tranquility and peace at this time, but at this time their hearts were also not at peace.

"Why did you bring me here? Didn't you have something to say to me?" Charles finally asked impatiently.

"Charle, come back to Ireland with me." Miles said, turning to face Charles who was frozen in place.

Charles stood there blankly as if he was greatly stimulated.His mind went blank, and Miles' words kept circling in Charles's mind.

"I'm... just kidding." After a long time, these words were squeezed out of Charles' mouth with difficulty.

"I don't joke about things like that," Miles bellowed.

"But why?"

"I've always loved you, Ciel. Do you think I'll bear the time of leaving you?" Miles said firmly, clutching Ciel's shoulders, his eyes were painful and crazy.He really loves Shire so much that he is going crazy, he wants Shire to leave and let Shire be his.

"Be sober, Miles. I won't go with you. I can only say sorry for your affection. I can't respond to your feelings. My emotions have been delivered to that person." Charles pushed Miles away, Said ruthlessly.He knew he had to say it because he would do Miles more damage if he hesitated.Sebastian's love is also poured into himself, and he can't hurt anymore.

"Thank you. Let's go." After Miles finished speaking, he didn't say anything to embarrass Charles, and walked forward.The pace is firm and decisive, as if determined to give up everything.

Charles followed Miles without saying a word, and Miles who was walking in front suddenly stopped and turned around.

"You love that man that much." Miles clenched his fists and eyes of the ancestor Charles, who couldn't accept it, and asked through gritted teeth.

Charles' body froze for a moment, and he lowered his gaze and turned his head away.

"That's right." Charles said softly but firmly.

Like a bolt from the blue, almost paralyzed pain swept over Mi Li's fit, and Mi Li's heart was completely chilled.

"Heh..." Miles suddenly chuckled.

"Since this is the case, I don't have to bear it any longer. It was you who forced me to do this, Shire..." Miles raised his head, staring at Shire horribly, like a crazy son, his eyes wide open, his facial expression changed Grim up.

"What are you going to do, Miles... um..." Seeing Miles' madness, Charles retreated instinctively, but at this moment, he stretched out a hand from behind and covered Charles' mouth and nose with a white cloth .

Seeing that Shire was no longer moving, Kane let go of Shire, and Shire, who was unconscious, fell forward, and Mili opened his arms to firmly catch Shire's body.Looking at the way Charles was leaning in his arms with his eyes straight, Miles pulled a cruel smile from the corner of his mouth.This was the first time he was so close to Charles, and he didn't resist.Just so quietly and obediently leaning on her arms, her sleeping face is pure like a white flower.Quiet and sweet.Shire was his at last.I finally got Shire.Miles stretched out his hand and gently stroked Charles' smooth cheek, his hands trembling with excitement.

"Don't blame me, Charles, you know that I love you so much, you can't give up on you, but you didn't leave that man behind, and came with me alone. It's all your own fault for making this decision, you are the one who wants to come out with me. Xia Er, I will love you well. I will definitely make you forget that man, and one day I will want you to be my princess." Miles finished talking to the unconscious Charles, and hugged his body horizontally.

It's just that Miles didn't notice that a tear dripped from the corner of Xia Qiugeng's erect eyes.

Sebas, who was holding back his anger and anxiety in the room and waiting for Ciel's return, suddenly throbbed fiercely in his chest as if a knife had been inserted into it.

"Plop." With a sound, Sebas knelt down on the ground, clutching his chest and one knee of one leg.

"My lord." The miniature Yin who dared to appear in Sebas's room was startled when he saw Sebas suddenly kneeling on the ground like this, and hurried forward.

"Are you all right, my lord, what's the matter with you?" Yin knelt on the ground on one knee and asked anxiously.

Sebas clutched his heart and frowned, his face was pale, and his forehead was covered with bead-sized beads of sweat.

"Huh...huh...huh..." Sebastian just cried and panted, clenching his teeth without saying a word.

"My lord, don't scare me, you should say something." Yin shook Sebas's shoulder and shouted, he had never seen the lord in such pain.Is it because I have stayed in the human world for a long time, and my body is not burdened?

"You are very noisy, Yin." Sebastian said a few words coldly, and exhaled heavily.

"I'm concerned about you, my lord." Yin said aggrievedly.How come he cares so much about him, yet he is so ungrateful.Considering that people are cold and cold, they are as tender as water to that human being.My lord, she is really lustful.

"What a fuss, it's just a sudden pain in my heart."

Yin was startled, how could it be, if it was someone else, it would still be possible, but adults are not ordinary people, how could it be possible to suddenly feel pain in the heart.

"That's bad, Sebastian, Ciel eloped with someone."

Sebastian's room door was kicked open by Soma, and he rushed in in panic.Seeing a strange man in the room, Soma couldn't help but stand there.

"Hey, who are you?" Soma asked in surprise.He was wearing silver up and down, and he wore weird clothes, which he hadn't seen before.Why in the Sebastian room?Looking at his hand holding Sebas's shoulder all the time, it is impossible for Sebas to let others get close to him.What is the relationship between the two?

"Leave him alone, Your Highness, what did you mean just now? What did you say about the young master?" Sebastian stood up, wondering if he had heard it wrong just now.

Soma realized this, now is not the time to think about the relationship between this man and Sebastian.The most important thing happened, Soma was going crazy.

"I woke up and wanted to ask when you would go back. I passed by Charles' room and went in curiously, and found this letter on his desk." Soma took out a letter from his arms.

Before Soma had time to hand it to Sebas, Sebas grabbed the letter.Opening it to look, suddenly Sebas' pupils dilated and the hand holding the letter was trembling.

____ I'm going back to Ireland with Miles, don't come looking for me.I will be happy.

Charlew.

第 157

The temperature in the room dropped rapidly, and it was extremely cold.There was silence in the room. Soma and Yin looked at Sebas who was standing there staring at the letter paper without saying a word at the same time, they both rolled their Adam's apple up and down nervously and swallowed their saliva.The huge room made them feel oppressed, even if Sebas was angry or angry, just don't say a word like now.

"My lord..." Gin took a step forward, and lightly shook Sebas's hand as the storm was approaching, trying to comfort him.

"Heh..." Sebas lowered his head, his long bangs covered his eyes so he couldn't see his expression.With a chuckle, Yin and Soma looked at each other in blank dismay.

"My lord, please don't scare me anymore." Silver found that Sebas's situation at this time was very similar to the situation when he wanted to destroy himself at that time.

Sebastian's whole body was surrounded by black smoke, and his whole body was full of anger, powerlessness and despair.He stood there like a stone statue, his eyes fixed on the words on the letter.

"Hehe...hahaha..." Suddenly Sebastian started laughing.

"Sebas."

"My lord." Sebastian, who was on the verge of collapse, made Soma and Yin panic at the same time. Yin was really afraid that Sebastian would do something stupid like last time again.

"Well done, Charles Pandohin. You escaped from my side, you should make up your mind." Sebastian clenched the letter paper in his hand, his eyes were colder than ever before.Even if I am destroyed, you still have to stay by my side.Even if you want to run away from me, I won't allow you to do so.

"Silver." Sebas looked up at Yin, who froze for a moment.

"grown ups."

"I order you, go back to the Demon Realm and summon Lianhua to see me. Bring the demons and attack the palace with me to retrieve my prey." Sebas is like a high-ranking king at this time, looking down on the world.

"Yes, my lord." Yin knelt on one knee and accepted the order.He knew that the ruthless and bloodthirsty king had returned.

Yin returned to the Demon Realm, and Soma was also taken out of the room by Agni.Sebastian was the only one left in the large room. Sebastian had never been so free like today.In the silent night, Sebastian sat on the windowsill and looked out through the glass.Darkness makes people more likely to be lonely and despair in loneliness.With a light touch of a finger, the window was opened.The cool night breeze blew into the room, ruffling Sebas's hair.Sebas's head was leaning against the wall, his heart numb with pain.

"Why..." Sebastian said softly.What did I do wrong?Is it because I don't love him enough?She put all her heart on him and risked her life to protect him.In the end, he ran away from me. Didn't I order myself not to run away from him?Why did he leave in the end.Why do human beings like to deceive so much, why are they so hypocritical.Am I a substitute for you to relieve loneliness from the beginning, and now that you have found another substitute, you can't wait to follow him?Then why did you still say that you were waiting for your return, that you would be back soon.Why... why on earth is this?

In the early morning, Sebastian stood in the garden, still dressed in black.But it was no longer a tuxedo, the black robe wrapped his slender body, the open neckline revealed a strong chest, and the well-fitting tailoring outlined Sebas' tall and straight figure.Black hair glistened in the sunlight, and his handsome, slightly pale face leaned close to a white rose that was just about to bloom.Not wearing the usual white gloves on his hands, Sebastian exposed the contract on the back of his hands undisguisedly, and also took the eye-catching black nails that belonged to the devil, which were particularly conspicuous on the white rose petals.Sebastian didn't wear the ring that Ciel gave him. On his index finger was a ring with an ancient totem imprint, and a red to almost black gemstone was inlaid in the middle.Like the eyes of Sebastian when he was in a frenzy, there was a cold chill.This is the symbol of the king of the demon world, because he is a king, so he does not need emotion or love.In this way, we will not be influenced by emotions and restrain our mind and body, so that we can make correct judgments.

"grown ups."

Sebastian's hand paused, his fingertips were pricked by sharp rose thorns, and he slowly licked off the blood on his fingertips.Sebas turned around, smiling.

"Lotus."

Kneeling on one knee on the ground was a handsome man with long silver hair mopping the floor. The clothing structure on his body was the same as Sebastian's, with a white robe and a golden belt around his waist.Like an elegant aristocrat from a distant era, he exudes the aura of a king, making people dare not approach him, out of deep fear, bowing his knees and willingly submitting to his feet.One full of femininity, fair complexion, and slender fingers.The tightly pursed thin lips were pink, the narrow eyes, and the lavender pupils under the long eyelashes exuded a faint coldness.It is beautiful, but it does not allow others to approach, as if it would desecrate this beauty once touched.

Lianhua stood up, her long hair swaying in the wind.

"I didn't expect my lord to stay in the human world after disappearing for so long." Lianhua crossed her arms and stared at Sebas in dissatisfaction.Lianhua looks like a painting when she is silent, and like a Yaksha when she is angry.As soon as he opens his mouth, people will find that his appearance and temper are really out of tune.

"Yin has already complained to me about this matter, so there is no need for Lianhua to press further." Sebastian was not angry at Lianhua's attitude.

"I heard from Yin that your lord stayed in the human world because you fell in love with someone?" Lianhua asked full of doubts.Although it was said from Gin's mouth, Lianhua still couldn't believe that Sebastian would fall in love with a human being.He's a demon with no emotions...

"Yes, that's it." Sebas didn't deny it.

"Hehe, I'm really curious what kind of girl she is."

"It's a boy." Sebastian corrected Lianhua's words expressionlessly.

"Huh? What... what?" Lianhua suddenly yelled, looking at Sebastian in disbelief.

"To be precise, he is not only a young man, but also my master in the human world. There is a deed of life and death engraved on his body, and he will be my lover for life and life." Sebas knew Yin did not dare to tell Lianhua to cherish the situation, because of Lianhua's temper Too hot.Knowing that he told Lianhua like this, Lianhua might take her anger out on him.Simply, Sebastian told Lianhua everything in front of Lianhua.

A gust of cold wind blew past, and Sebas fell silent after speaking.Lianhua petrified on the spot because of the stimulation she received, and she was so shocked that she couldn't move.Lianhua's brain was in a mess, he wanted to calm himself down and organize his thoughts.

"Hey, what's the matter with Lianhua, my lord?" Yin stepped into the garden and saw Sebas with an expressionless face, and Lianhua with a livid face. Both of them exuded a strange aura.

"It became like this after I told him." Sebastian said lightly.

"Ah... my lord, did you tell Lianhua?" Yin grabbed her hair frantically.

"This is inevitable. Even if you don't tell him now, he will find out when he arrives in Ireland."

"Hey, Lianhua... are you still alive?" Yin poked Lianhua's body with his hand, and his body became stiff.

"Yin...you bastard..." With a slap, Lianhua's slap landed heavily on Yin's handsome face, and Wuzhishan suddenly appeared on half of his face.

Lianhua still hits Yin at every turn as before, Yin is really pitiful.

"Why are you crazy, Lianhua." Yin covered her face and roared angrily.

"Didn't you say you came to take care of your lord? How can you take responsibility for your lord's depravity?" Seeing Yin talking to him loudly, Lianhua yelled angrily.

"Can this be my fault? Things have become like this when I found my lord. I almost hurt the person my lord loves, and my lord almost killed me." Talking about this matter, Yin felt aggrieved, Nothing is right for me.

Lianhua's body was startled.

"My lord, is what Yin said true?"

"Yeah." Sebas nodded.

"I really can't accept it."

At the beginning, I couldn't accept it like you... Lianhua, you should accept it.You can't shake the determination of adults, Yin thought in his heart.

"I will tell you about the future, Lianhua. I think Yin has already told you when I summon you this time. I want to bring that person back, and no one can stop me. Do you understand?" Bass spoke in an orderly tone, with oppression in his tone.

"Yes, my lord, I understand." Lianhua had to bow her head.Facing the mighty Lord Demon, Lianhua has no right to refute from the standpoint of his subordinates.

He was wobbly, his whole body was numb, and his head was as heavy as lead.The eyes opened a crack, the things in front of them were a little blurry, and only felt a piece of light.Charles unconsciously raised his eyelids and opened his eyes—the sound of the sea.

Overhead is a strange ceiling, strange room furnishings, and a strange bed.Charles' mind was still blank, and he grabbed the pillar at the head of the bed with his hands and used all his strength to prop up his body, before going barefoot to the ground.As soon as his feet touched the ground, Charles' legs gave way and he fell to the ground.The concussed head became even more dizzy.

"Damn..." Charles cursed in a low voice, and sat on the ground to rest for a while.

"Ha...ha...ha..." Charles propped himself up and raised his paralyzed feet and approached the balcony unsteadily step by step.Because of the lack of strength in his body, every step Charles took felt as if he was on cotton, which was very strenuous.Before he had gone far, he was already panting and sweating profusely.

158 chapter

With just such a small distance from the bedside to the balcony, Charles felt exhausted.

It's just a little bit away...Persevere...Persist...Charles is cheering for himself in his heart.

"It's finally here." Charles pushed open the closed balcony door with sparkling eyes, staring at everything in front of him in disbelief.The force supporting Charles' body suddenly disappeared, and Charles leaned weakly against the door frame.The azure blue sea stretched as far as the eye could see and formed a line with the horizon. The tumbling waves set off huge waves in Charles' heart. The salty sea breeze blew the single clothes on Charles' body and raised his hair, and the coolness permeated little by little.His thoughts seemed to be drifting away, and Charles felt that his eyes were astringent.If you cry out, isn't it too useless.But what is in the eye socket now... Sebastian.

Britain... is getting further and further away from me.

With the sound of "click" opening the door, Charles' body froze.

Miles came in with food, but he didn't expect that Charles was already sober and standing alone on the balcony in a daze.His slender body was swayed by the sea breeze, and Miles couldn't help feeling distressed.

"You're awake, Charles, come and eat something." Mi Li approached Charles with food.

"Don't touch me." Charles suddenly turned around and waved away the food in Miles' hands, gritted his teeth and stared at Miles with anger in his eyes.

The glassware fell to the ground and shattered with a harsh sound, Mi Li looked at the remnants on the ground in surprise.Right now, his surprised eyes are filled with a layer of coldness, the matter is already like this, can he still not accept himself?However, it is impossible for Charles to leave his side again in this life.

"Why are you so angry? I did this because I love you." Mi Li approached Shire step by step, staring into Shire's eyes and said word by word.

"Enough, I said long ago that I can't love you, I won't fall in love with a man." Charles backed away.

"open……"

With no way to retreat, Charles leaned his back against the railing, and below him was the bottomless sea.Charles turned his head to look at it from this height, the deep blue water was like a bottomless pit, as if there was a force trying to pull him into it.In front of such a vast sea, Charles felt his own insignificance and powerlessness.Feeling the pressure on his body, Miles was already lying on top of him.A feeling of disgust rose in Charles' heart. The effect of the medicine on his body hadn't passed, and he couldn't do anything without strength. Charles coldly looked away.

"Don't like men? Isn't Sebastian a man?" Miles roared angrily, fooling him like an idiot.

"Sebastian is special." Charles suddenly turned his head and looked at Miles, and said loudly without hesitation.

"Is it special? Hehe, what's the use of talking about it now Shire. You are getting farther and farther away from the place where he is, and you can't go back, or do you want to jump down and swim back?" Miles said with a smile Said cruelly with a sneer.

He would have wanted to get along with Charles, if he hadn't said those cruel words first.What Sebastian is special, what's so good about that man.Just a deacon, cold and arrogant, defiant.

"Do you think I dare not?" Charles asked back.

Miles' smile froze on his face, and his heart skipped a beat.Seeing Charles' serious look, there was hatred in his eyes.Ciel must hate him now, for disrupting Ciel's steps and his life.It's all because of Charles himself who disturbed his heart first, and couldn't let himself fall in love with him, but he didn't bother to look at him.He knows that there is nothing that Charles is afraid of, he is always so decisive and ruthless.Even when he said he would jump, Miles would believe it.He knew that Charles would really do this, as long as he dared to force him...

"Don't you want to know if any man will come to you?" Miles raised Charles' chin frivolously with his fingers.

"What's the meaning."

"If he really loves you, he will come to you and take you back at all costs. Or, after his master disappeared, he couldn't wait to become someone else's dog? You, don't you want to know the answer? Charles " Miles said cruelly and watched as Charles' pupils gradually dilated.He knew that Shire was only interested in this man's affairs, but he paid special attention to that man's affairs.

Charles lowered his head and acquiesced to Miles' proposal.Even if it is Sebastian's master, he probably wants to know Sebastian's mind.Human beings are like this, repeatedly tempting, repeatedly trying to make themselves feel at ease.

"Before that, you just stay by my side." Miles couldn't help but hug Charles up and walked towards the bed.

"Put me down." Charles struggled in Miles' arms.

"Charles, can you accept my concern once in a while?" Putting Charles on the bed, Miles said softly as he touched Charles' cheek.

"I don't need your concern at all." Charles said coldly without looking away.

Shire's repeated refusal to accept his approach made Miles furious, and Miles clenched his hands tightly into fists.

"Kane." Miles shouted angrily in his voice.

"Prince, you are looking for me." Kane walked in.

"Clean up the room." Miles glanced at the remnants of the food knocked down by Charles, and walked towards the door.

"Give him another shot." Walking to Kane's side, Miles ordered softly and without emotion.

"Yes." Kane lowered his eyes and replied.

The room was quiet, Kane carefully picked up the glass shards on the ground into the tray, stood up and put the tray on the table.Walking to Charles' side, he stopped.

"I hope you don't blame the prince, Earl. The prince did this because he cares too much about you. His love for you is not wrong." Kane said lightly, looking at Charles who had his eyes closed.

"I'm not someone's item. I can't make me respond to his feelings just because he likes me. Even if he is a prince, he has no right to do so." Charles said coldly, Kane's body froze.

"Perhaps, what you said is right." Kane said softly, pulled Charles' arm, and lifted his sleeve up to reveal his white arm.

"What are you doing, Kane." The coolness on his arms made Charles open his eyes uncomfortably, looking at the expressionless Kane.Kane is a mysterious man to him, he can threaten Miles with Miles' feelings for him, and he is not allowed to act rashly towards him.But facing such a cold and hard man in front of him, Charles didn't know what to do.

"I won't hurt the Earl, I'm just afraid that the Earl will escape and must do so. Because the prince is on board, I don't want to cause a commotion because of the Earl's escape. I can only let the Earl take a quiet rest before arriving in Ireland." Kane said, The sharp pillow was inserted into Ciel's arm, and the liquid in the needle was pushed into Ciel's body.

"But...evil." The familiar dizziness hit, and Charles fainted with a low curse.

"I only take orders from the prince." Kane murmured softly, looking at the unconscious Charles.

"Master..."

Elsewhere, Sebas murmured in low pain.

"Ah, what country are they from? Everyone is so handsome."

"The costumes are weird. They are not from our country."

"Which country's noble?"

On the luxury ship, Sebastian walked in front, Yinhe Lianhua and several elite demons followed behind Sebastian.The people on the boat gave in unconsciously and made way.Some people carefully gathered together and discussed softly, and the young woman looked at Sebas and the others from time to time.Handsome men are rare, let alone several handsome men walking together at the same time, it becomes a gorgeous scenery on the boat.Yin used the corner of his eye to catch those women looking like they wanted to eat them, and the veins on his forehead unconsciously protruded.These...human beings.If it wasn't for the adults' orders not to act rashly, he really wanted to throw them all overboard now.

"Ha..." He sighed depressingly.

Yin turned to look at Lianhua, the corners of Yin's mouth twitched stiffly.Lianhua's complexion was livid, one hand was tightly clenched into a fist, and the other was trembling slightly as she held the sword pinned to her waist.It seems that he is also trying his best to endure, and he has almost reached the limit.With Lianhua's fiery temper, it is not easy to endure until now without killing these humans.Besides, they are being peeped on boldly by these humans, and they are being talked about like ornamental objects.Demons have always regarded human beings as the lowest creatures, and usually regard them as a speck of dust.Now, in order to bring a human back, not only did they use a large number of elites, but they also did it themselves, and even the Lord Demon himself.What kind of world is this, even the adults of the demon world are running around for that human being.

Sebastian stood on the deck with his hands on the railing.Watching the waves cover the waves.The cold water splashed on his cold face, and his hair was a little disheveled by the sea breeze, making Sebas's expressionless face full of wildness.The red pupils fluctuated, and the black cloak behind him fluttered with the wind. Sebastian's current aura made it impossible for ordinary people to get close.Once you get close, you will be shocked by the domineering aura of a king on him, and your legs and feet are so weak that you can't stand up. .

"My lord is thinking about him again." Lianhua walked to Sebastian's side and stood side by side with him, looking into the distance.

"Heh... You really can't hide anything from your eyes, Lianhua." Sebastian chuckled and turned to look at Lianhua.

"It's not that I can't hide it from my eyes, but everyone knows it now. My lord is fascinated by a human being." Lianhua pointed impatiently behind Sebas.
