Lucy slept until dawn.

Finally, he heard the sound of Vader getting dressed and leaving the room.Before Vader left, he ordered people to lock the doors and windows leading to the outside world.The moment the door slammed, Lucian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He rolled over.

The emperor's bedroom was large, luxuriously decorated but understated.Lucian walked around the room, tapping his fingers on various oil paintings and lamps—not for appreciation, of course.

But to find the legendary secret passage in the emperor's bedroom.

It is said that these secret passages had been dug as early as the castle was built, and the artisans who knew about it were silenced after the castle was built.Only the kings of each generation (now emperors) know where these secret passages are opened and their destinations.

However, Lucian didn't have much hope for finding these secret passages, not to mention that even if there were secret passages, he couldn't confirm the direction they lead to.But talk is better than nothing.

He explored the lamps and paintings, but found nothing in them.Before he could continue to check, there was the sound of the door opening outside.

Lucian quickly lay back on the sofa and pretended to be demented.Then, he saw the maids come in, all lowered their heads, and put him on the wheelchair again.

Lucian: ...

Where are they taking him?

The maids were silent, and Lucian was pushed in one direction by them.Along the way, the guards that Lucian saw became more and more dignified.They stared straight ahead, turning a blind eye to Lucian's arrival.

Finally, Lucian saw the room he arrived at.

That was Vader's study where he handled government affairs.

Lucian:? ? ?

As usual, the study room is the outer room for meeting guests, and the inner room for handling government affairs and reading documents.The maid placed Lucian on a sofa in the inner room, and thoughtfully covered him with a duvet, and then...

Vader walked in.

The young man was still wearing a pitch-black uniform, cast a gloomy glance at the white-haired succubus curled up on the sofa in the study, and then sat down at the desk.

Lucian is on the left hand side of his desk, where he can be seen at any time.Even if Vader wanted to, he could stand up and take a step to scoop up Lucian.

The maids withdrew one by one, so only Vader and Lucian were left in the inner room.Seeing that Vader had started to flip through the book, Lucian's numb scalp relaxed again.

It's just that there is still a question lingering in his mind.

What on earth had Vader brought him for?

But he waited all morning, and Vader didn't do anything to him.The black-haired youth just flipped the pages of the book casually.Although Lucian was right next to him, he never glanced at him from the beginning to the end.

Even so, Lucian was too close to Vader - so close that he couldn't take the opportunity to observe the study.Lucian finally started to feel sleepy again after half an hour of performance.

His head was bit by bit, and finally he lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.

He didn't know that Vader, who had been reading, didn't put down the book until he fell asleep.

And looked at him in his sleep.

In his sleep, he faintly heard someone coming from the outside—it seemed that they came because of the matter of the Duke of Rhine yesterday.After hearing Vader's footsteps walking outside, Lucian opened his eyes.

And start looking inside.

The conversation outside is still going on.

"Your Majesty," Lucian recognized that it was the voice of Duke Murphy, who was known for his justice. This man in his thirties was described as elegant, and he was well-known among nobles and commoners alike. But now, his There was a hint of humility and caution in the voice, "About the Duke of Rhine..."

He said many long sentences, all of which were asking Vader to send the Duke of Rhine's body back to the Rhine family.As if he was afraid of causing Vader's dissatisfaction, his words were low and gentle.

In the end, he said: "You are the emperor of the kingdom now, you should..."

"Emperor? If I remember correctly, it is you nobles who begged me and my army to stay in the kingdom and deter the demons." Lucian heard Vader's casual voice, "Correct your own Location, Sir Murphy."

Murphy's voice seemed to be choked into his throat on the spot.Finally, he lowered his head and said, "I will follow your will."

The conversation between the two ended there.Before humbly retreating, Archduke Murphy thought, the current Vader is really...uncontrollable.

He possesses extremely powerful strength, the ability to recover as if he were immortal, and with a whole army of terrifying undead, he single-handedly repelled the demons and spread his reputation as the "King of Heroes" to all human cities.In addition, there is also the full support of his family, the Sissel family, and several other families—including the famous Hall family and the Leicester family.But obviously, he didn't take these companies to heart.

Grand Duke Murphy once thought of using Vader's family to "rule" him, but Vader didn't care about the life and death of the family.The incident that expelled him from the royal city seemed to have completely changed Vader's mind, leaving him with nothing to care about.Even the throne seemed to be taken by him at will while he was on a journey where he didn't know where he was going.

An enemy without any scruples is the most terrible enemy.This made Grand Duke Murphy very uneasy.

He wanted to find something that could hold Vader back.A dark light flashed in Duke Murphy's eyes.

Money, power, beauty... He has already tried to send these, but it didn't work.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the scene in the study made his eyes stop for a moment.Vader did not close the door when he left the inner room, so from the perspective of Grand Duke Murphy, he could see the desk in the inner room, and...

On the sofa, it seems to be lying...alone?

From the perspective of Grand Duke Murphy, he could only see that the man seemed to be wrapped in a blanket, curled up on the sofa.Two slender, white legs protruded from the blanket, and the long silver hair faintly revealed.

The man appeared to be under a blanket, wearing only a light nightgown.

Even with only a vague outline, it can be seen that the person is indeed a beauty.

When Vader was dealing with political affairs...wrapped a beautiful woman in a blanket and put it on the sofa next to her?

What is it for "convenience"?

No, that's not the point, the point is...

Grand Duke Murphy bid farewell to Vader hurriedly.Before returning to the house, he was thoughtful all the way, tapping his chin with his fingers.

He seemed to have found... something that could hold Vader back.

He wondered about the identity of that person.Recently, there has been no news from any family that the young lady or young master of any family was attracted by Vader. The strange beauty in the study was probably brought back by Vader from the folk.

Since it is impossible to start with Vader, then find a way to start with his "new favorite".Vader didn't care about his family, he didn't care about being assassinated by others...but what about the beauty?

That beauty may not want nothing.Moreover, Vader would take "him" with him even when he was reading in the study, presumably he loved this beauty very much.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Grand Duke Murphy's lips.

After returning to the Grand Duke's mansion, Grand Duke Murphy told his staff about finding out the identity of the beauty.

After the staff left, Duke Murphy leaned his head on the back of the chair and sighed.

"The current situation is too bad." He said to himself, "everything has been messed up since the day Vader came back, if there is still someone who can hold him back..."

A name flashed through his mind.

Lucian Sissel.

The adopted son of the Sissel family, Vader's nominal adoptive cousin, and the former holy son of the Church of Light.In front of him, even the most hard-hearted ascetic would bow his head to his smile.When he first entered the sanctuary and practiced for only one month, the holy art he mastered was enough to restore the eyesight of an old commoner who had been blind for many years.

When Vader was his guardian knight, the two had the reputation of "Twins of the Kingdom", and even the Sissel family who cultivated this pair of twin stars also shined brightly.When Vader was expelled for "belief in the Fallen Angel", he and Vader were simply two ends of light and dark.Darkness is the disgrace of the Cecil family, the obsessive Vader, and light is Vader's cousin, the holy and benevolent son Lucian.

But now, this name has been crucified on the stake for what he did.Letting a semi-succubus be the son of human beings for more than ten years is simply a great shame for the entire human race.The balance of light and darkness was subtly reversed again. How much the nobles admired Lucian, now they feel ashamed and angry about being deceived.Of course, there are people like Bright who believe in Lucian and doubt Vader, but those are only a very small number.

But no matter how much he hated and loved him, Lucian was already dead—he died in Vader's hands. This was something the entire kingdom and even the entire history knew.The entire Sissel family immediately fell to Vader, whom they had failed, and burned Lucian's name from the genealogy, which is the end of the story.

Thinking of this, Grand Duke Murphy felt slightly regretful.He still remembered Lucian's innocent face when he sang, and he also remembered the scene where he saw the vengeful Vader step into the court wearing black armor and brutally cut one of his enemies.No one knew what happened in the temple that day, but Lucian's end could only be worse than that enemy.

Grand Duke Murphy shuddered and stopped letting himself imagine what would happen to Lucian.

He took out a package of exquisitely framed invitations from the envelope—the invitations came from the Sissel family, inviting him to a ball.

This ball was initiated by the Sissel family, and all nobles and celebrities in the royal city were invited, and it was actually aimed at Vader.They wanted to celebrate Vader's ascension to the throne through this ball, and to show the "restored" relationship between the family and Vader in front of everyone.Whether it is Lucian or Vader, the Sissel family will never die.

Vader didn't care about his family, even if any noble in the know could sense it.

Grand Duke Murphy stared at the invitation, and suddenly remembered the first time he met Vader.Vader was a gloomy and arrogant boy at that time, and there were whispers at the banquet that he was the illegitimate son who had recently been found by Duke Sissel.

"His personality is very weird, he doesn't look like little Lucian at all." A lady said contemptuously, "After all, one was raised at home since he was a child, and the other was picked up from a slum. I mean, Family education is very important."

"But he is the only heir of Duke Sissel, and Lucian is only the adopted son of Duke Sissel's elder brother who died young." The other person shrugged, "Of course, if he doesn't come back, the Sissel family The heir may be Lucian, after all, we all know how much he loves this child, even if it is a collateral descendant. But Vader is his biological son after all."

The first lady who spoke giggled, covered her mouth with a feather fan and said, "It seems that when the two brothers grow up, they will have a tough battle for this great family property."

"Little Vader consider himself lucky? He was supposed to be a civilian or a mercenary all his life, and suddenly he has the opportunity to inherit a huge inheritance. I dare say those back alley boys who used to play with him, I envy his good luck..."

Archduke Murphy brushed past everyone politely. He needed information, but he didn't like such trivial gossip occasions.When passing by the corridor, he saw what the ladies called "Little Vader". The black-haired boy was standing in the corner, isolated from the world, but watching something silently.

He followed the boy's gaze and looked at Duke Sissel and Lucian standing on the other side.The green-eyed boy is holding his adoptive father's arm and acting like a spoiled child, arrogant yet cute.

Duke Murphy looked at Vader, he vaguely saw ambition in the boy's eyes.

...Perhaps since then, the ending of the killing between these two people has long been doomed.Archduke Murphy thought so.

Therefore, Lucian was brutally killed.The root cause of his killing was his ambition not to be satisfied with his adopted son status.

However, he also regretted that when he was a child, Vader still had ambitions for his family in his eyes.But now he seems to have completely lost any expectations of the family.

It's too bad that one person can change so much.

There is also the Rhine family... No matter what, the people in Wangcheng now have to rely on Vader to deter those demons who are about to move.I hope that the people of the Rhine family will not lose their minds.Several people are planning to take over the dirty property left by the Duke of Rhine. I hope there will be no ugly trouble between them, um... If necessary, he doesn't mind taking action to maintain order among these few people and take a share of the profit. ...

In order to safeguard his own interests and maintain the "peace" of the royal city, Grand Duke Murphy has too many things to think about.

The life of a "high nobleman" like him is so boring, ordinary and tasteless.

He washed and returned to bed, hoping that he could find out the identity of that "pet" within a week.When he closed his eyes, he seemed to see the boy Vader's eyes again—the eyes with the ambition to take away and inherit something.

He thought back to that scene over and over again, and suddenly, cold sweat dripped down his back.

He suddenly remembered what direction Vader was staring at then.

The person he was staring at was not Grand Duke Sissel, but...

Lucian!

The author has something to say:

Archduke Murphy: kdlkdl

I want to comment, woo, there are so few comments, can you have more happy comments so that I can dance with you in the comment area

Grand Duke Murphy: Find out who that "pet" is.

Staff: Newspaper—it looks a lot like a succubus in Lucian.

Grand Duke Murphy: Is it a substitute? (no)

Then when Lucian (infancy) took Vader (infancy) back home to attack (bully), he looked like a spoiled and indulgent little cutie who was raised so that every fingertip was delicate and soft
