Jungle White Rose

When Xi Ya saw the dress for the first time, she was afraid in her heart, and she even asked the maid to accompany her to go in and look for books.

The study room was huge, with bookshelves covering the walls and surrounded by books.

There was still the smell of paper and ink in the air, and after looking around Xi Ya, she found a book to read in peace of mind, and then read it day and night until today to read the fourth book.

Because of the many times, she let go of the dike in her heart and was able to enter the study alone. When she entered, she unexpectedly saw a cold figure in a shirt and black pants sitting in front of the desk.

Here is the sentence she marked:

Darkness will have broken first,

And the light will always stand upright before God.

Erebus looked down at the paper, his expression was calm, unchanged from when she first met her.

Shia pretended to cough and made a sound, which attracted his attention, "Ah, sorry to bother you, I didn't know you were back."

Erebus got up and put the book in her hand on the table, and kindly said: "Most of the books on the mahogany bookshelf are records of human history, you may be interested."

"Thanks for reminding."

Xi Ya raised her eyebrows and picked out an anthology of fairy tales towards the area he was talking about, pretending to be unintentional: "How long do you plan to stay this time?"

"If nothing important happens, you can stay here forever."

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

She walked in the same direction as she opened the door, and there was no sound behind her, until the book in her hand accidentally fell, and she almost cried out when she turned her head, but she was still scared and sat on the ground.

—Erebus followed behind her at some point.

A few strands of his satin-like long hair hung on his forehead, his brows and eyes were calm, and he was looking at Xi Ya.

"Do you need me to carry you back?"

Shea stood up with her hands on the ground, took two steps back with the book in her arms, "No, no need!"

Erebus watched her turn and go, and was about to follow.

This time Xi Ya turned her head suddenly just in time to see his actions, and smiled helplessly: "You can tell me directly, if you want to go together."

Erebus didn't answer, but leaned closer and kissed her smooth forehead, then left without hesitation.

Duliuxia was fluttering in the wind with her book in her arms.

Jessica, who was already familiar, was the one who talked to her more among the maids, and told her that there was an exquisite glass room in the garden, and inside the glass room was a carefully cared for red rose bush.

"Big and big roses are rushing to bloom, like a girl waiting to be invited at a ball, extremely delicate and colorful."

Shea raised her head from the pile of books in an instant, rubbing her sore eyes, "Then I'll take the homemade gingerbread man for a walk tomorrow."

The left and right are idle in the manor, and Shea followed Jessica in the kitchen on a whim. She often had to work overtime before, and most of the time she ate takeaway, and rarely made it by herself.

With Jessica preparing all the ingredients for her, her baked mochi lived up to expectations and turned into coke.

It took two or three times in a hurry to finally make a batch of edible gingerbread men. The rest of the fluffy bread and fragrant creamy fruit cake were all Jessica's creations.

Opening the curtains the next day, she saw a firefly flying by, like a small elf, staying in front of the window for a while and disappearing around the corner.

Shea smiled lightly, seeing cute creatures early in the morning must be a very worthwhile day to go out.

Not long after breakfast, Jessica knocked on the door to inform that everything was ready. Shea thanked her and walked over with a green porcelain bottle in her arms.

The long neck of the porcelain vase is very thin, almost half an arm long, small and cute. She repeatedly looked at it, causing her to bump into a wall of flesh.

She touched her forehead, and the cool cedar scent she smelled from the tip of her nose had already let her know who was coming.

Looking up and seeing Erebus, she tilted her head and smiled, "Good afternoon, Mr. Erebus."

Erebus looked at her holding the vase, obviously in a good mood, and he couldn't help but curl his lips.

"We are planning to go to the glass house to see the red rose bushes, are you interested in going together?"

This time Erebus did not leave without saying a kiss, nor did he refuse, and walked side by side with her silently.

After Jessica led the way, she left in a sensible manner. The two sat in the glass room and started to do their own things.

The specific manifestation is that Shia took out a pen and paper to draw carefully. Her university major had such little art requirements, so she can still record the wonderful scenery with clumsy painting skills.

The roses in the glass room are blooming in an orderly and disorderly way, and the night does not destroy its beauty. Even under the light of candlesticks and starlight because of the thick darkness, the vitality of the rose itself is a display of rich vitality.

The collision of red and black, the contrast of life and death, is as incredible as the only narcissus blooming on a dangerous cliff being kissed by the first sun.

Erebus sat opposite, his handsome face returned to indifference, his eyes fell on her moving brushstrokes, and then on the rose, repeating the cycle very patiently.

Not too long ago, Shea couldn't bear to speak: "Mr. Erebus, if you are dissatisfied with me or need me to work in exchange for the qualification to live in the manor, I think I will be happy to accept it and thank you."

"You're not happy here?"

Xi Ya's perfect smile almost cracked. Originally, she just wanted to show that she was not greedy and willing to work to earn wages. Why did it suddenly involve her feelings?

If I have to say it, there is actually no better situation than the first one.

She has a huge manor, a sweet maid, and...a mysterious man.

Erebus sat beside her, drinking black tea gracefully.

She asked back: "There is no dissatisfaction, but do you not need to work?"

According to the era of European mythology she lived in, no matter how the nobles would go to work in the royal family, even though they still seemed to eat, drink and have fun in daily life.

Erebus was by her side almost all day, clingy and quiet.

He looked relaxed and relaxed, and he was still quite rich, which inevitably made Chiado think a lot.

She figured out last night that this place in the manor is a glass greenhouse with several roses growing, so she made black tea with delicate cakes in the rose garden.

When she was ready to contemplate this moment of peace alone, Erebus stepped in.

Seeing him staring and saying nothing, it's really not her turn to explore what the owner of the manor is doing or what he is doing.

Maybe it's because she didn't understand, Xi Ya didn't dig into the horns anymore, and raised her forehead and said, "Do you want to have a cup of afternoon tea?"

Erebus nodded, and his red eyes glanced at her teacup.

The original plan was for Shia to be alone, so only one copy of Jessica's possessions was on the table.Shea didn't want to bother the servant, so she walked to the cabinet equipped with the glass greenhouse, and there was still top-quality red wine in it.

She turned her head and asked, "There's still red wine here, do you want...?"

"Just like you."

Well, Shia took out the teacup, wiped it clean and put it in front of him.

Neither of them spoke, and drank the whole cup of tea like this.

"If you feel too bored, you can go to the market."

Xi Ya's eyes lit up: "There is also a market here?"

"Well, it's on the western edge of the dense forest."

Here, except for the first time she barely saw the day, that is, the evening when she lost her way, and then as the night fell, there has been no change until now.

Even today, she came to admire the flowers only because the stars were too bright, and it was better to say that she was looking at the stars than admiring roses.

She had never seen such a night in a bustling city for a long time. The sweet fragrance of flowers in the evening wind was not greasy, and the fragrance lingered for a long time when the hair was blown.

Xi Ya's eyes are more dazzling than the starry sky. She has been bored in the manor in the dark for several days, and she is very eager to go out for a while.

Erebus suddenly reached out and patted the top of her head, "I can accompany you."

"Uh, I think it's good to bring a maid with you." Shea still couldn't adapt to the intimate relationship between Erebus and herself, "It doesn't need to be too much trouble."

"No trouble." Erebus lowered his eyes, unable to see the expression in his eyes, just drinking the cold tea with a blank expression, and the single person sitting opposite her looked particularly bleak.

Shia: "..."

She rubbed her forehead and said, "If you are free, traveling together must be a perfect itinerary."

"Then arrange a time."

The candles on the silver lampstand suddenly brightened a lot, and many fireflies flew from the dense forest and sparkled.

They are in the dark night, and each other is softened by the lights to become a landscape.

Shea asked, "Why are we in darkness all day?"

"Because I am the God of Darkness." He turned his head to look at Xi Ya, "I never deliberately concealed it."

Shia's eyes widened, surprise was written all over her face.

She was still guessing the identity of Erebus, but now that he confessed directly, she was really caught off guard.

Although Shia was surprised, it didn't take long for her to return to normal.

No wonder what happened was so bizarre. I thought Erebus was a demon, but I didn't think he was a god.

Erebus... Erebus...

She said it silently in her heart over and over again, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind.

Yes!

Erebus, the god that exists between the earth and the underworld, was born when the heaven and the earth were confused. It is rumored that after death, a person must first pass through the darkness of Erebus to the underworld, which represents the feeling that people feel when they are dying. dark.

She never thought of making tea and chatting with a god, or even having intimate behaviors between the two.

Erebus went on: "So the darkness is always with me."

He is darkness itself, and the manor deep in the red rose forest is his resting place on earth.

Shea reluctantly came back to her senses and ate a bite of cake to suppress her shock. This makes sense why there is never daylight, and she has seen the sunset. "Then why didn't the servant notice the strangeness?"

She felt different around her just after she arrived. Why is it that the servants are used to being here all the year round?

"They are mountain elves, not humans."

"Ahem!" Xia choked on the tea that was so shocking that she shed tears, "So I'm the only human being in the whole manor?!"

Erebus replied gently: "Yes."

Xi Ya almost floated back to the bedroom, lying on the bed with confused thoughts.

In the early morning of the second day, she solemnly said to Erebus: "Dear my God, please forgive me for my offenses before."

She clasped her hands, piety and fear were written all over her face, and the blue eyes were the result of tossing and turning last night thinking about how to choose her words.

Erebus pursed his lips and pulled the girl who was about to kneel down into his arms. Unexpectedly, she staggered and put her hands on Erebus's chest, and her whole body was enclosed in his territory.

Shea struggled to distance herself, gritted her teeth and said, "I don't accept flesh compensation."

Erebus: "..."

The window was opened by an invisible hand, and Shea was picked up in the air the next moment. She exclaimed and felt the strong wind in Erebus' arms, and Erebus spread out a pair of huge and pitch-black wings behind her and flew out.

The author has something to say:

In Greek mythology, the original form of the universe was Chaos (Chaos).Gaia, the god of earth, was born after that, followed by Tartarus, the abyss at the bottom of the earth, and Eros, the god of love.Chaos then alone gave birth to Erebus and Nyx.Then Gaia gave birth to the god Uranus, who combined with Gaia and became the master of the world.They gave birth to six boys and six girls, that is, twelve Titans.
