How to become a sea witch

How did things turn out like this.

Bernice felt as if she was being entangled in a tangle with no end in sight and no end in sight. Surrounded by frozen frost, the pale and miserable layer reflected coldly the dim yellow light of the opposite street lamp. Her slightly dizzy pupils lit up due to excessive fright.

She tried to say something, but the other party didn't give her a chance to argue at all.

A kiss that was so eager that it almost trembled, crushing every word she hadn't spoken yet.The fresh smell mixed with strong sea water is everywhere, aggressively occupying her already unclear five senses, so strong that even the last breath of air will be snatched away.

Inexplicably, Bernice recalled a tsunami she had seen since she was a child, and recalled the kind of overwhelming madness that could almost destroy everything.

The pain of lack of oxygen that gradually became clear made her start to whimper and struggle, but found that the other party seemed to be stiffer than herself, as if trying to restrain some emotions that were about to completely lose control.More frost roared and condensed, frantically covering everything that could be devoured around it, spiky thorns, and the cold temperature was biting.

After a while, it seemed that he finally realized that the sea witch in his arms was almost out of breath. Thiago finally let go of her, but he still hugged her weak waist with one hand, with the thin gap between his fingertips. The cloth slowly touched the outline of her spine, and when he tilted his head and kissed her temples and the ear pinna under the black hair, he spoke in a strangely hoarse and soft voice: "Promise me, will you stay?" Come down,? You can do whatever you want. The heart of the ocean is also available,? As long as you nod and want to stay,? Okay?"

Bernice was breathing quickly, and after hearing the heart of the ocean, she almost gasped for breath, and subconsciously shrank towards the wall behind her, wishing to bury her entire jellyfish in it to escape reality.

"Ahem, ahem... No, no, no, really." She shook her head desperately, her wide green eyes were full of scattered and floating lights, which flickered with her shaking her head, like a group of frightened people. Firefly, "I never thought of killing you, let alone snatching the heart of the ocean, I really didn't."

As she spoke, she tried hard to withdraw the hand that was pressed on his heart by the other party, but found that she couldn't move at all, so she could only say with difficulty in a stiff voice: "I...can you, let me go first? "

Thiago paused for a moment when he kissed her neck, and raised his head again after half a second of silence. His blue eyes couldn't reflect anything other than Bernice's appearance, and he was as cold and silent as a bottomless man. cage.

As for Bernice's last words, he didn't seem to hear at all, still shackled her in an overly intimate gesture, and muttered to himself in an empty tone: "Yeah, you didn't even think about it. As long as it's about me, you'll always feel suspicion and disgust, and you don't even bother to think about it."

Unable to tell whether it was his words, or the feeling of being too lonely to suppress, Bernice found that it was very difficult for her to make up some nice and beautiful words to deceive the other party.

Obviously, it was as simple as hunting and drinking for her, but she just couldn't open her mouth and could only explain clumsily: "No, I don't hate you, I just..."

just what?

She looked at the other person's eyelashes that were suddenly raised, and she could clearly see her own M's appearance from those overly focused eyes without any effort, surrounded by a thick and dull blue, pale and thin.

For a moment, Bernice couldn't tell whether she was hypnotized by the other party, or how could she express her inner feelings inexplicably without thinking well: "I just, I Don't know what to do... I'm so scared, so..."

Anything that is uncertain, unpredictable and cannot be fully controlled is a potential danger.

For Bernice, as long as it is dangerous, it needs to be avoided. This is the instinct of living things.

As she spoke, the intense emotions and long-term anxiety and panic that had been accumulated in her chest seemed to suddenly find an outlet, and her incoherent words flowed out, congested until her throat was sore: "I don't want to... ...I don't want to be imprisoned back to the Endless Sea...I don't want to go there, I...don't want to die."

Because of fear, because he didn't want to die, he ran away desperately.

After all, the way she avoided herself was almost the same as when she avoided Ursula, or even worse.

Thiago let go of her waist and wiped her slightly red eye ends. What remained when his fingers brushed the skin was a real warmth independent of the entire cold environment.

"Here I voluntarily swear to you with my life, dignity, future, honor, and everything I have." He said softly, earnestly as if praying, "I will go against my nature, against my Instinct, beyond all laws, loves you forever."

After a pause, Thiago continued: "This is what I promised you."

At that fake wedding.

Bernice remembered, and genuinely felt, the same words would still terrify her a second time.

"How long have we known each other, Bernice?" He asked, and at the same time held her hand on M's heart in his palm, fingers intertwined/entwined tightly, the blood melting the other's body temperature stretched from fingertips to sink Into the heart, "Have I lied to you?"

She froze for a moment, forgot how to react, and could only listen blankly to him continuing to say: "I know you are afraid, and I know what kind of environment you grew up in, so I would like to Wait, it doesn't matter how long. I also said, whether it is in the past or now, I always believe in you, and the bad things in the past are as if they never happened. And those things you haven't got, envied, and worth it, this I will compensate you a thousand times for what you should have."

He said, a shallow and gentle smile briefly appeared on his face, but it quickly disappeared, replaced by an extreme that could get out of control at any time, and the forbearance floating on the surface was so precarious: "But why have you never Are you willing to try to believe me?"

Tiago had been waiting here from dusk to night, hoping that his guess was wrong and that Bernice would not really want to leave him.

A few hours seemed like centuries.

And when she really appeared in his sight like this, ready to run away without looking back, all the remaining fragile expectations were extinguished in an instant, leaving only ashes on the ground, clamoring together to She also pulls down.

Pulled into this hell created by her.

Bernice opened her mouth, and there was a bright red ambiguous mark on her lips, imprinted on her bloodless skin due to the low temperature and panic, as rich as a flower.

She tried to say something, but was unsuccessful.The situation in front of her was so absurd that she couldn't understand it with normal logic at all, and she didn't even dare to be so outrageous in her dreams.

At least he can be woken up from a dream, why is Zi M still standing here?She thought wildly.

It was not until a while later that Bernice finally managed to regain her voice, and it was rare for her to speak sincerely: "I'm sorry, I... I really never thought that you would..."

Really unable to speak words related to love as naturally as he did, Bernice paused abruptly for a few seconds, faced the other party's focused gaze that made her tremble to the point of numbness, and said in a fluffy voice: "I mean , this is actually not your problem. It's just... I don't deserve your care at all. "

"Think about the things I have done, not only to you, but also to other creatures that you don't know. I am really not a good jellyfish, I am a demon, and I have seen you before It's no different than any other demon."

"Everyone is here to survive."

"They hurt people to survive, and so did I," she said.

"There were so many sea creatures captured by Ursula back then, many of them were tortured and executed because they didn't want to obey Ursula. They are the truly kind-hearted and courageous sea creatures, but I am not."

"I will do what Ursula tells me to do for my own sake, to hurt and deceive those equally innocent, even my own kind in the ocean, or to stand by and let them be killed by other demons. Because I know that if I stop them, Then I will be the one who dies, so I dare not."

As she spoke, Bernice seemed to have finally found her own thoughts, and she didn't have time to think about whether these words would destroy the image of a good devil that she managed so hard to manage before. She just kept talking, as if Vent: "For so many years, I have been comforting myself. I did all this to survive, and to allow myself to be free one day. At that time, I will have a chance to redeem my sins. But..."

She thought of the creatures who were killed in front of her, including humans, wizards, even elves and mermaids.

There were so many, so many that she couldn't remember how many there were.

"But I'm just doing it for myself, in order not to be bullied, and to keep myself alive. I'm no different from them. My so-called persistence is just to give myself some psychological comfort and an excuse. Just keep hating them."

She raised her head and saw Tiago looking at her, with slightly frowned brows and slightly pursed lips. No matter how she looked at it, she looked unhappy. Her gaze was like the surface of a icy lake under a dull sky, with a kind of uneasiness. The words are cold and gloomy.

"So." Bernice carefully withdrew her hand little by little, and at the same time ignored as much as possible the subtle strange feeling brought about by touching the opponent's skin closely, and her light green eyes carefully stared at the opponent, " You can see that I am not what you think at all, and I have nothing to do with any good qualities, and I am not worthy of your... care."

As soon as the words fell, her cold fingertips wrapped in low temperature finally left a safe range where she could leave at any time, but Thiago immediately buckled them back, as fast as if they had never been separated.

Bernice staggered from being pulled, and fell into the embrace of the other party again. There was a warm and cool breath falling from the raised neck, and then something softer and clearer than the breath.

"Bernese." He sighed with undisguised love, as if he was thinking of the most precious thing in the world.

"Your Majesty?" She flinched and wanted to avoid it, but Thiago suddenly opened her mouth to hold a small piece of warm skin.

Only separated by a thin layer of flesh and blood, further inside is her throbbing artery, which is as chaotic as her heartbeat, and she is in a panic trying to escape.

Mermaids are not sharp because of the bone spurs on their fingertips.That seemingly immaculate beauty is also the skin of the ocean's top predator.

Bernice, who was in a cold sweat from this thought, suddenly had the urge to turn into a jellyfish in place, and then get into the sewer to surf the rapids and escape.

"Your Majesty, what, we have something to talk about. We can discuss anything, really... Please calm down, if I just said something you don't like to hear, you can just pretend you didn't hear it." Bernice pushed hard against the mermaid in front of her, for fear that he would directly bite off his own neck to eliminate harm for the people after he came to his senses.

Through the fabric of the suit and shirt, she could easily touch the smooth muscle lines on the opponent's arm, but sadly found that there was no way to shake him at all.

"I know." He said, "I know all the past that you think is bad."

"Then why..." Bernice was stunned.

"But it's too late."

Thiago muttered to himself, tilted his head to hold her face, and kissed the corner of her lips tenderly and obsessively. The cold blue in his eyes also melted away, covered by thick eyelashes, making it hard to tell Is happy or sad.

Bernice had difficulty understanding his words, and finally swallowed the phrase "It's never too late if you think about it, don't give up".

"Bernese." He let go of her, and wiped her slightly water-stained red lips with his fingertips, his attitude was flat but extremely serious, "I want to know, when we were together before, were you really happy?" Is it? Or, you are just dealing with me from the beginning to the end, in order to complete the task that Ursula entrusted to you."

This is very strange.Bernice looked at him, recalling what he had asked herself when he found him in Pendragon and brought him back to the seaside.

At that time, what he cared about was whether M had ever told him even a single truth.

But now he's asking if she's ever really happy being with him.

This overly clear difference made Bernice at a loss for a moment, and even flinched, but she barely stopped in the eyes of the other party.

Feeling like an insignificant answer from M could destroy him, Bernice thought inexplicably, and then was startled by the very thought of M.

In the end, she bit the bullet and nodded honestly: "Actually, I often feel very happy, really. It's like going back to when I was a child, I don't have to think about anything, I am free..."

Having said that, she suddenly lowered her eyes guiltily, staring blankly at the tiny sapphire on his tie clip: "I'm sorry."

Logically speaking, Bernice is not a demon who likes to apologize.On the contrary, it is her nature to slickly find excuses or even run away when she offends the other party.

But as soon as she met Thiago, she couldn't think of anything else to say, so she could only keep apologizing.

He is so serious.

It was so pure that it made her feel terrified, and she even forgot her instinctive self-protection, and the smoothness she had cultivated for hundreds of years was no longer needed, and only M remained the same as she was at the beginning, a silly jellyfish.

"I said, you never need to apologize to me." He stroked the long cold hair of the sea witch in his arms, and his tone was gentle and gentle that is unique to mermaids, making it impossible for any creature to think of refusing, "So, why don't you stay?" Good? Just like that time, be happy. You don’t have to worry about anything anymore, whether it’s the past or the blood curse that has been bothering you now, I will take care of it for you. All your fears and dissatisfaction Nothing you like will happen, and no one can hurt you anymore."

This kind of promise is too tempting, Bernice was stunned for a while, and obviously forgot all the words that had come to her mouth, she could only look at Tiago blankly, neither shaking her head nor just like that It is easy to fully believe and agree.

What a future it sounds like, and... feelings.

But, why did it happen to me?

She obviously doesn't deserve it, let alone deserve it.

After a long silence, Bernice finally had a reaction, struggling to suggest: "Why don't you think about it again?"

"Considering what?"

Thiago seemed to be irritated by her words that were finally suppressed, but the result was completely different from what he wanted. The hand that was hugging her back forced her back into his arms again, and at the same time squeezed her tightly. He held her waist so hard that it hurt her a little.

"That is to say, I will..." When it came to this point, Bernice swallowed involuntarily, fearing that if M made a wrong wording, he would suddenly become the same as before, and even the kiss seemed to die together.

"I will, I will stay." She had the courage to pronounce this word correctly, she felt the roots of her teeth trembling, and the cold sweat dripped silently from the back of her neck, "Then, your Majesty, That is, think about it, there may be others who are more suitable than me..."

Whether it is identity or past, it is more suitable.

For example, if you just pick up a mermaid of the same clan who can outshine everyone.

That is the harmony and beauty of all aspects.

Before she had time to feel happy about what she promised to stay, Thiago directly interrupted her, with a frosty face on her clear face: "You want to push me to someone else."

"No, no, no." Bernice shook her head quickly, and her usual sophistry skills finally came online, "I just think that things are impermanent, right? Everyone changes. You see, I wanted to leave at first, but now I don't. Have you changed your mind? So, if one day there is someone who is especially suitable and worthy of you, then..."

Looking up and seeing the other party's expressionless face, Bernice hesitated for a moment, quickly put on a twitching smile, swallowed back the unspoken "universal celebration" and replaced it with a small sentence: "just Is it okay?"

She really thinks so.

After all, it would be a lie to say that since M is still not a bit shaken by what he said just now.But in the past few hundred years, she has been used to the so-called deep love, but all of them are unpredictable, more unreliable than any weather and ocean currents.

All kinds of favorites at that time were true, but the boredom that was exhausted by time and trivialities in the future was also true. It was just the fickle nature of all things, and there was nothing to blame.

What's more, "will always be attracted by better things" is the soul instinct of all living beings.And she doesn't think she is a likable jellyfish, so she has no reason to believe that Thiago will die for her.

So to put it bluntly, it's just a matter of time.

Thinking of this, Bernice suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and was even very happy.

Anyway, she has been in Ursula's hands for hundreds of years, so if she spends a few hundred...no, dozens...not right, the problem that may be solved naturally in a few years, and by the way, she can't offend her. The supreme young sea god, simply why not do it.

"How about it, what do you think?" She tried her best to restrain the joy in her heart, and said as much as possible to maintain the cautious attitude just now, "I'm actually just afraid that you will suffer a disadvantage, so I think you should really be more careful." Think about it, it's a big deal after all."

Thiago looked at her in silence for a long time, there was no trace that could be figured out in the blank expression, and his eyes were frozen to almost nothingness.

In this way, he looks more like that unkind old god statue than ever before, and because of his overly lively appearance, he looks quite scary.

After a while, he suddenly smiled: "If this is what you want, then I promise you."

Then, Thiago approached the other party again, and the kiss he fell was shallow and restrained: "But until that day comes, you will stay with me, okay?"

Any bet without a clear time limit is extremely risky.

Bernice was clearly aware of this, but was so disturbed by this overly gentle intimacy that she couldn't refuse, she could only nod her head indiscriminately: "I think, I will."

This time, he really smiled, his brows and eyes were as warm and gentle as water.

"Then let's go back."

"Woo... good."

When he let go of his lips and pulled his hands forward, Bernice felt that the whole jellyfish was still in a daze.

However, in the next second, the dazzling light from the exit of the narrow alley woke her up completely.

She looked at Silvedu and Gabriel across the light, dumbfounded.

The Archangel Seraphim on the opposite side also looked at her, his expression on the verge of collapse.

Or get into the sewer and go torrenting.

Bernice thought desperately.

The author has something to say: the new job is basically stable, and should be able to pass the trial period, so I rolled back and updated quickly.

The main reason is that if it is not updated, Nini will be kissed to death [? 】
