"So... kid, you think you're a failure?"

Troy pursed his lips, and nodded in shame under the gaze of the priest with a smile.

"Yes, there is a person. I have never defeated him. He is the proud son of heaven, but I am nothing."

"In the past, I couldn't help being jealous of everything about him. It should belong to me, but it gradually became his. I have worked hard, fought for it, and even acted vilely and despicably, but—"

The boy's voice was hoarse, with intense fatigue: "I've never succeeded."

"So, are you still thinking about taking back what belongs to you?"

Troy shook his head: "Not anymore."

He looked up at the largest stained-glass window in the middle of the church, and said softly: "Maybe I see it, but maybe——I'm afraid."

Fear of death, fear of not having another chance, so I suddenly want to live very much.

"I thought that I really broke free completely. But when I saw him again, those fears and bad memories came out again...It hit me and I was at a loss."

"Then--"

"I escaped."

Stannor, Royal Palace.

The afternoon sun carries warmth through the clear stream in the garden to the bottom of the water.

The brook was icy and cool. In summer, Troy liked to sit by the stream and let the water wash his white feet. While reading a book, he leaned on the queen's arms and opened his mouth to ask his mother to feed him some grapes.

However, since the young man left the palace, the queen has not been with Troy like this for a long time. She sat by the stream, glanced at the fruit, and waved: "Take it away, the prince is not here, and no one can feed it. It's so boring." .”

The red-haired young man by the window was holding a glass of red wine in his hand, leaning lazily on the cushion of the bay window, smiling with lowered eyes, looking at the queen below, and jumping off the window sill, smiling: " What happened to mother?"

The woman raised her eyes and glanced at him lightly, "It's nothing, just basking in the sun."

"But you look a little lonely."

The queen said: "It's just that the empty-nest old man misses his son..."

The woman seemed to think of something, and said again: "You haven't seen your brother yet, have you? Come and see."

As she spoke, she gently stroked a magic stone by the stream with her slender hand, the spell attached to the stone was instantly activated, and a golden figure suddenly appeared beside the clear and swift stream.

The boy's blond hair looked dazzling under the sun, his fair skin was as smooth as milk, and he was wearing the simple but high-quality clothing of the nobleman's leisure time. He sat quietly by the stream, looking down at the book in his hand.

The blue pupils are like the shimmering light in the indigo starry sky, with the gentleness of tranquility.

"Fortunately, I left his shadow here before, otherwise, after this kid left, I wouldn't even have a thought." The queen smiled and reached out to rub the cheek with the projection, but the hand was pierced by the projection. But, can't touch it.

The woman didn't care too much, and said to Snoke next to her: "This is your brother, Troy, and he will come back in about half a year. Then, you two will go to Saint Lucia to learn magic together. Brothers, you must be good!" get along."

"Okay... Mother." The boy's voice echoed in the courtyard.

The columns of the long pavilion made of white marble in the corridor are carved with exquisite patterns, which are gorgeous and graceful, as beautiful as jade.

Snoke stared at the golden projection.

This was probably secretly recorded two or three days before his trip to the palace.

The young man looked down at the book quietly, without shoes, his trousers were rolled up to his knees, his fair feet stepped in the bottomless stream, the cold water flowed through his legs, and the warm sunlight poured down, making him It all seemed harmonious and peaceful.

The afternoon sun also became lazy, but Troy, who had been reading a book, suddenly turned his head, and looked at the place where Snoke was with his star-like eyes!

Snooker paused, knowing that this was a picture recorded by the projection, but the moment he was stared at by the young man's scorching eyes, he still felt a kind of throbbing and sadness from the depths of his soul.

— was a former fool.

The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, and calmly stroked his heart with his hands. The feeling there made Snoke very uncomfortable.

He turned his eyes away, not looking at Troy's projection.

At this moment, the blond boy who turned his head suddenly said with a smile - "Mother, I want to eat grapes."

The queen reached out and handed a grape to his mouth, but it fell to the ground in the next second.

The woman sighed faintly, then turned off the projector, "Troy, my precious son, can you come back quickly."

She picked up the red wine prepared by the maid, took a sip, and said coquettishly, "I really regret letting you go out."

"Does mother miss brother very much?" After suppressing the irritability in his heart, Snoke kept the smile on his lips, walked slowly to the queen, and poured red wine for her.

"Of course, my precious son is my heart and soul."

The young man narrowed his eyes and joked, "What about His Majesty the King?"

"What does he do? After giving birth to a beautiful child, he has nothing to do."

As soon as these words came out, the maids around couldn't help laughing out loud.

The queen's mood also improved a bit, and said: "What are your plans these days? The proud son of heaven in the prophecy?"

The young man smiled and said, "I heard that there are monsters invading small towns and villages in the south. I have already asked my father for some knights this morning, and I am going to set off early tomorrow morning to sweep all areas where monsters appear."

"I heard?" The queen raised her eyebrows: "Where did you hear it? The border cities of the Aurora Kingdom have set up strict barriers, and it is impossible for monsters to come in."

"It's not the enchantment destroyed by monsters," Snoke said, "it's vampires."

The woman paused slightly, her eyes turned cold instantly, "The blood race..."

"The blood prince Hirih has sneaked into Aurora. Father also knows about this matter, and recently strengthened the management of all magic associations and knight alliances, added teleportation arrays, and changed the captains of the divisions, but not all divisions They will obey the orders, after all—" He narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a little cold light in the magnificent red pupils.

"Some branches are always lazy, aren't they?"

How to face it is indeed a difficult problem.

Avoidance is often useful when you don't want to face it.

Father Aiweiji said: "Escape is not a heinous thing. You can choose to face it, and you can also choose to escape. It's just that I am very puzzled, Mr. Xiao. After escaping, you should breathe a sigh of relief, but you don't seem to be relaxed. Instead, it got heavier."

Troy pursed his lips and nodded slightly: "...Yes, I thought too, I would be relaxed."

——But in fact, he has a strong anxiety, not from the fear of snooker.

Rather—deep guilt for the other boy.

Xiao Nuo.

For a month, the boy also thought a lot.

In the end, he found, it was like, it was really hard to see the boy and Snoke as the same person.
