After I collapsed, I became a succubus

The chain was tied to Lucian's ankle, thus preventing him from moving.

—whether getting out of bed or catching up to Vader as he stumbles from the room.

Lucian sat on the bed, staring blankly at the side of the bed where Wade was sitting just now.There, still wet with bright red, spattered blood.

It was blood from Vader's chest.

How could Covid bleed?How could he be hurt, how could he be bleeding?

Lucian put his hand on his chest.The wound pierced by the dagger there has healed, and under the skin is a naturally beating heart.He suddenly felt that his heart was beating faster and faster.

As if realizing something.

This conjecture is extremely absurd and unreasonable, especially after he saw the scorched and barren land without flowers in Vader's spiritual world.

But he...

"Do you want me to stab myself again and try?" Lucian murmured.

If there were any insiders here at this time, they would be staggered by his words... Lucian looked at the dagger that was still stained with his blood, and finally did not do it.

"Don't you hate me?" he thought.

His expression is sometimes indifferent, sometimes sad, sometimes joyful, but in the end...

He couldn't help but carefully laughed.

The already pale and thin face finally showed a smile after a month.There was disbelief in that smile, and there was a careful, secret delight in it, and there was elation, and some tiny, slippery sense of triumph.

Lucian pulled a piece of cloth off and carefully wiped the dagger that was stained with his blood clean.He knelt on the bed and wiped it carefully until it was clean.

Then, he picked it up, kissed it with his soft lips, and put his rose-like lips on the cold blade.He does it with slyness, joy and respect, time and time again.

……

Spencer, the steward of the castle, walked in a hurry, with his attendants behind him, and his destination was the emperor's lounge.

The living room smelled of blood.

The court physician finished bandaging Vader tremblingly, and stood on the other side holding his hand.Vader's originally snow-white complexion was now paper-like, his lips were darkened, and his face was slightly blue.

Everyone knows that he has lost a lot of blood now.

Upon hearing the news, Percy, the military adviser who was also in the palace today, arrived.During the half year when Vader disappeared, he, Duke Hall, and Steward Spencer have been working together to consolidate Vader's throne.

A servant's voice was anxious.He said: "Your Majesty, what happened to your injury? You have to know that your body is the supreme treasure to the entire empire. Who hurt you..."

Vader said nothing.Percy, who was wearing a single-lens lens, said, "Who else? Your Majesty, I have to say, I really don't understand why you allow him to do such a thing to you..."

Percy would never have said that in the past.But since Vader came back with the Queen, although he has become more irritable, he seems to have a bit more humanity.It was because of this that he dared to say this to him even more.

In his opinion, the relationship between these two people simply unreasonably lowered all of Vader's judgment.

"Go out on your business, Percy," Vader interrupted impatiently.

Vader's mind was obviously not on this side, and these words obviously told him that his personal military division had no way to speak.Percy paused, and eventually headed out with the extra entourage.

Butler Spencer also entered the room at this time.He is a gentler and more loyal elder than Percy and others.He was not just a butler hired by Vader, when both Vader and Lucian were young, he also had a few encounters with the two who were still children.

"I thought you might need something to drink," said Spencer, calling for the soup.

Vader finally finished the bowl of soup.His complexion improved slightly, but his body was still weak.Spencer sat beside him, wiping the dust off a statue with a handkerchief.Until Vader let out a soft "tsk".

His voice was full of self-mockery and disgust.Spencer then spoke at this moment: "Aren't you going to tell the Queen?"

"tell what?"

"Tell him you were hurt for him," Spencer said.

Spencer didn't say what happened to the injury, but he's clearly seen it all.

Vader glanced at Spencer, the aged butler's blue eyes were as gentle and wise as ever.Wade snorted lightly, and finally said: "Lucien..."

He paused, and then said: "Luci'an...is a person who knows how to push his feet. I can't let him know. He should...pay some price and suffer some torture, so that he can be better and more obedient... ..."

stay with me.he thinks.

"He needs to be a little more afraid of me," Vader said. "Fear makes him respect me more. He needs to be a little more afraid. That's right."

He said as if talking to himself: "He needs to be a little scared."

"But have you thought about how to explain your injury to him?" the housekeeper said calmly.

Vader: ...

He scratched his head irritably, messing up his black hair.The terrifying and bloodthirsty devil in the eyes of others has now turned into a troubled teenager again.In the end, he sneered and said, "Explain what? I don't need an explanation."

Butler: "Oh..."

"He didn't have the guts to ask. Lucian." Vader sneered, "I won't make him dare to ask."

"...But." The butler said slowly, "His Royal Highness, I didn't know that he would actually commit suicide."

Vader: ...

Vader stopped talking.

For Lucian, escaping the world by death is a very common thing, but this time his suicide is obviously not like in the past.

He was violence to himself, to torture himself, to death.

Vader began to feel his head throbbing again.While he began to worry about Lucian's mental state and feel uncomfortable for the countless piles of bad debts between them, at the same time he was angry that he was starting to worry about Lucian's disappointment again.

He hates him so much.he thinks.

Since he hated him so much, how could he let him see that he loved him, and how could he show weakness to him because he was holding a dagger to his chest...

He couldn't let himself look like this, being played in Lucian's hands all the time.

The butler quietly watched Vader's increasingly gloomy expression, but concealed his unpredictable expression, and wisely chose not to speak at this moment.

In the end, Vader felt that he wanted to give Lucian another slap in the face.Only then is he absolutely in control and happy.

But at this time...he felt that he didn't want to see Lucian again these days.

It is by no means out of shame or embarrassment.he told himself.

The steward waited for Vader to complete the psychological struggle, and said to Vader in a timely manner: "Your Majesty, you may need to rest for a week these days. As for Her Royal Highness, I will send suitable people to take care of it."

Vader looked up at him coldly.

The housekeeper said again: "I don't think you want Her Highness the Queen to see your weak appearance at this time."

Vader: ...

Of course he couldn't let Lucian see his weak appearance.In Lucian's eyes, he must always be strong and have a strong deterrent effect.

He wanted Lucian to be afraid of him all the time.

Vader then gave an "hmm" and stopped talking with the butler.

"After my injury is healed, I will let him know what will happen to me if I kill myself casually." He told himself darkly but firmly, "Lucien can't get anything from me... any mercy by committing suicide. I I'm not going to let him think he can threaten me, that he can push me. I'm going to let him get punished."

"I'll let him know what happens if he dares to leave me."

He told himself repeatedly in his heart, and finally felt that his chest didn't hurt so much.

And at that moment when he thought that Lucian would leave completely... that empty fear was also hidden deep in his heart.

"That's right." Vader said again, "Don't let him know that I'm injured, and don't let him know about the spell."

The housekeeper said: "Yes."

……

Lucian stayed obediently on the bed.Now his system is naturally blocked, and he can't find anyone to talk to, but his mood is no longer as dazed and barren as before.

Although Vader's scorched black spiritual world without a single flower still pierced him like a thorn.But Lucian seemed to feel that he could find some opportunities.

Some wild turns.

But before that, Lucian wanted to figure out what was going on with the injury.He guessed that it wasn't all the damage that could be transferred to Vader... After all, Vader had played some tricks on him in the past.

All questions are for Vader.Lucian thought blankly with a secret feeling.

The first thing he waited for were two dolls.They helped Lucian get dressed, and took off some embarrassing accessories on Lucian.After Lucian got dressed and stopped wearing those accessories, Lucian saw the butler Spencer.

This was the first time Vader had let anyone else into the room.

"Where's Vader?" he said to Spencer.

The kind butler said: "His Majesty Vader has been very busy these days. He sent me to take care of you."

Lucian was silent for a moment, then nodded.

The housekeeper could see that Lucian was much thinner than when he saw it half a year ago, but his temperament had also changed a lot. If the Lucian in the past was a budding flower, but now he looks It seems that the fruit is almost ripe.

Like a flower that is blooming to the extreme and is about to fail, every petal is flabbergasted.

"Is he unwilling to see me, or is he afraid to come to see me?" Lucian said again, his voice seemed to be smoked.

"Your Majesty doesn't want you to know." The butler said sincerely.

Lucian stopped talking.

After that, the steward obeyed Vader's order and visited Lucian every day to confirm that he did not commit suicide.And Lucian finally got in touch with the system these days, and the system was crying again.

"Let's run away!" the system said.

"I'm going to wait for Vader to come to see me." Lucian said.

Even so, Lucian is still a little uncomfortable these days.He clutched his stomach, feeling bad all the time, and starting to feel groggy again.

In the past few days, the housekeeper Spencer also discovered this abnormality in him, and invited a court physician to treat him.But human doctors have limited abilities after all, so they can't figure out why.

So Lucian said to the system: "Anyway, he hasn't come back yet, you can scan my body first to see if there is any problem."

The system said: "Oh, okay!"

Vader returned at this time.

When he arrived, he saw Lucian talking to Void, and at that moment, more intense anger surged up.

He spent so many days, immersed in self-deprecation and self-loathing of himself, and hatred for Lucian from time to time.He had finally recovered from his injury... Lucian was chatting with the system!

Butler Spencer stood at the door, wanting to say something.Vader did not listen to the steward's report.He immediately opened the door.He strode forward as if he had never been hurt, then grabbed Lucian by the wrist and threw him on the bed again.

"Vader...I..."

Lucian originally wanted to say something to Vader, but Vader didn't want to listen to him at all at the moment.He said coldly: "Tell your system to go away, it's my turn now."

"No...I..." Lucian pushed his shoulder hard, "I seem to..."

Vader:?

"I seem to... it's time to make honey..." Lucian frowned and said in pain.
