Desire on the other side of blood

After the news reached Camarilla, there was a quick response there.A week later, Richard and I will take some people to Hermons to meet His Majesty Ferion at Pegdana Castle.

Even the day before departure, I still can't believe that things have miraculously turned out like this.

"Chris, you're scared," Richard concluded after sitting in front of me for half an hour.

"Afraid? Why?" I closed the book and rubbed my temples lightly.

"Because of Philion." Richard said the name very rudely, "You read that page for half an hour."

I smiled bitterly, "Richard, you know what happened between me and him, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself after seeing him."

Richard looked at me for a while, and suddenly patted me heavily on the shoulder.

"Chris!"

"Well, what?" I was baffled by him.

"You're Chris Cornell," he said emphatically.

I couldn't laugh or cry, "Richard, I know, you don't need to remind me."

I know what Richard means.I am not Kailos von Lambert, I am now Chris Cornell, Sabat's foreign minister, I have my mission, and I cannot be confused by personal feelings.

But... I still really miss the way he called my name, his warm embrace, and his gentle kiss, even though it was all fake, a luxury that would never come true.

I shook my head to get those distracting thoughts out of my head.

"Richard, I'm tired. I'm leaving for Camarilla tomorrow. You should go to bed earlier." I got up and went back to the bedroom, but Richard stopped me.

"Chris, I know what you're thinking, I can help you." He let out a breath of determination, and then took out something.

It was a miniature black skull, and there were red lights flickering faintly in the two eye sockets of the little skull.I recognize this thing as one of the holy artifacts, the ghost lamp, because Philian once bought an imitation of the ghost lamp when he came to Wenermi.This little skull looks no different from the imitation except for the addition of an inverted pentagram on the skull, but this must be a real ghost lamp.

I stared blankly at the ghost lamp, then touched his skull, the upper and lower jaws of the little skull shook, the red color disappeared, and a blue light rose up, slowly drifting away like a cloud, I am surrounded by it.

The blue light was so beautiful, so warm, as if Felian's blue eyes were looking at him affectionately.

"Carol."

When that all-too-familiar voice sounded behind me, my body stiffened uncontrollably.

"Carlo, turn around, I'm right behind you." The voice said again, getting closer and closer to me.

No, don't, I don't want to turn around, I'm afraid you will disappear if I turn around, just talk, I just want to hear your voice.

"Kaylo, why don't you turn around and look at me, are you still angry with me?" The voice was so soft and gentle, with a touch of sadness.

No, I'm not angry with you, and I'm not as narrow-minded as you, so I won't be angry.

I'm just afraid that you will disappear, I'm just afraid.

The waist was hugged by one hand, and then the neck was slowly surrounded by the familiar breath. The soft and warm touch from the neck almost made me cry.

This must be fake, he is not here, this must be an illusion...

"Kai Luo, I still miss you. I have been thinking of you for the past 50 years. How about we make up?" The dense and warm kisses spread along my neck to the corner of my mouth. When my charming eyes appeared in front of my eyes, the tears I couldn't hold back finally fell down.

"Fei Li, I miss you too." Trembling fingers caressed his brows and eyes, and even his lips trembled uncontrollably, "Let the past go, you... love me, okay?" Maybe only At this moment, I have the courage to spit out the most humble and begging words that have been hidden in my heart for many years.

"Little fool, in fact, I have always loved you, and I will always only love you..." He nodded with a smile, cupped my face and lowered his head to cover my lips.

……

The whole world dances and blooms in undying passion.

Jingtu Huahai, you stand on the other side of the world and stretch out your hands to me.

My body is rippling, my vision is rippling.

Limbs entangled, beside the drowning where flowers bloom like fire on the other side.

In that piece of water garden, countless flower buds are growing densely, gradually showing the color of black and red blood, coquettish and lustful, despite the despair, it still exudes endless fragrance.

We have eternal life, but how long is eternity?

I won't know and don't want to know.

Until the sea, until the mulberry field, until the bones turn into dust, but some things remain the same.

I know, you love me.

I heard you say you love me.

That's enough.

Even if it is short, this moment will be forever for me.

That's enough.real.

……

Distant and illusory bells rang in the faint morning light, one after another, as if telling some kind of unfulfilled oath.

A shallow white light flickered in my mind, bringing up crooked lines, which dimmed a little.

Tick.

The sound of water is still.

The wind stilled.

Everything stands still.

The ancient magic is gone, and everything is back to the beginning.

Reality.

you.

And me.

……

I opened my eyes, stood up, and looked at the man sleeping next to me.

The man closed his eyes and fell asleep contentedly.

I pressed a kiss to his forehead.

"Thank you, Richard."

……

After bathing and putting on new clothes, I walked to the gate of Sorensalburg.All the rectification was over, and the waiting entourage stood quietly, bowing slightly when they saw me.

Declan stood on the high platform with a solemn expression.

"Your Majesty, we are leaving." I stood in front of him and saluted.

He nodded, reached out and touched my shoulder, and brushed my neck between, and there were still traces of last night's passion on it.

I know he saw it, but he didn't say anything.

"Go, my child." His voice was flat and without waves.

"Yes, Your Majesty." I turned to face the crowd, and lightly tapped the civilized stick in my hand.

"set off!"

Passing through the arch of the Seven Deadly Sins, and passing through the two statues of demons who have been arguing for thousands of years, we did not stop, and soon arrived at the Racle area on the border between Sabat and Kamarilla.

When you open your eyes, you can see the sunflowers all over the mountains, the huge white windmill slowly turning on the mountain depression, and the morning light, which is sparsely and slowly, is still such a colorful and beautiful picture.

I closed my eyes, and recalled the first time I came here, as if Philian was still standing beside me, holding my hand carefully, caring for me a little bit.

Thinking about it, I felt inexplicably excited, and I couldn't help curling the corners of my mouth.

"What are you thinking about being so happy?" Richard walked over to me.This was the first time he took the initiative to talk to me along the way, and when I saw him, he blushed immediately.

"It's nothing, it's beautiful here, isn't it?" I smiled and gave him a hug.

"Richard, no matter what happened between us, you are my best friend," I said softly.

He was taken aback for a moment, his expression was a bit perplexed, but he still smiled and hugged me back, "Okay."

We were in Hermons in a short time, passing through the Laclay area, where we were greeted outside the city.

The white city of Hermons is indeed very different from what I remember.Although it is still a Gothic building with a spire, it has undergone many changes on the basis of maintaining the tradition. It is old but not old-fashioned.There is a huge statue in the center of the city, and a little girl sitting under a broken sword is crying sadly holding her beloved but broken toy.The whole statue stands against the war and stands quietly in the restored city after the war.

The carriage drove to the square of Pegdana Castle and stopped, where Felian was already waiting.Behind him stood Lilith, Sabrina, and many others I didn't know.

Seeing our arrival, Philian immediately greeted us, "Welcome Your Highness Chris and Your Highness Richard."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd behind him immediately started applauding.

I got out of the carriage, gave a standard Sabat-style friendly salute to Filian, then looked up at him, "Hello, Your Majesty Filian."

Felian nodded back slightly, and I turned my gaze to Lilith again, "Miss Lilith, I haven't seen you for decades, you are really getting more and more beautiful."

Lilith smiled, "Thank you, Your Highness Chris, you seem to be doing well."

"Yes, Wenermi is my hometown, and I am living a very fulfilling life now."

"His Royal Highness Chris lived in Hermons for a while, and now he is back in his homeland, what do you think?" It was Filian who spoke, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Although I don't know how much the war has destroyed this place, but now it seems that this place is developing very well." I nodded.

"What about the comparison with Wen Ermi?"

"On par."

"To what extent do you not know?" An abrupt voice suddenly sounded from the crowd, loudly as if on purpose, "Those wars were started by you Sabat, how could you not know?"

It was Sabrina who spoke. She walked through the crowd to Fei Lian, raised her chin proudly, "Are you really ignorant or are you just pretending to be stupid?"

"Sabrina!" Felian reprimanded her lightly, and Sabrina fell silent, but still looked at me with provocative eyes.

I was not annoyed, but still smiled, "Miss Swift, you don't know, I have been sleeping in Werme for 50 years, and I don't know much about many things happening in this world."

"50 years?" Sabrina exaggeratedly covered her lips and exclaimed, "Isn't that no different from death?!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the people present became unsightly.Richard stepped forward and was about to speak when I stopped him again.

Sabrina raised her skirt and knelt down to me as if she had reacted, "I'm sorry, Your Highness Chris, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, Miss Swift, you're young and beautiful, and it's understandable that you made a small mistake at the beginning on some occasions." As soon as I finished speaking, there was a burst of low-pitched laughter behind me.Everyone knows that Sabrina is older than me by many years.

Sabrina's face changed slightly, and she wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Felian again.

"Sabrina, you have no place to speak here, so don't lose face here." Ferian frowned.

Sabrina nodded, gently took Felian's arm and stopped talking.

"Your Highness Chris, Your Highness Richard, we have prepared a grand welcome dinner for you, I hope you will like it, please come in!" Filian finished speaking and took the lead to walk towards Pegdana Castle.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Just as I was about to enter the castle, I was stopped by Sabrina again.

"Your Highness Chris, I have something to tell you."

"Oh?" I stopped.

"I'm already with His Majesty, shouldn't you congratulate me?" Sabrina's voice was neither soft nor heavy, just enough for the surrounding people to hear.

I glanced at Philian, who kept looking straight ahead with no expression on his face.Lilith had a faint smile on her face, but she couldn't tell what she was thinking.

"Really? Congratulations. Your Majesty, Miss Swift, I wish you a happy life!" Still smiling.
