One of the Twelve Kingdoms

night, london.

The bars on the boulevard began to take the lead at the moment of sunset, and all kinds of neon signs lit up one by one, constantly changing patterns to attract customers.In the dimly lit entrance of the crowded building, languid security guards impatiently check their credentials.

"From today onwards, this is my world, Kathy." Josh, who is about to celebrate his 16th birthday today and welcomes his coming-of-age day, is dazzled by this novel world. Lower Joshya felt like an old-fashioned and unqualified comrade, but he swore it wouldn't last long, and he couldn't wait to run over and blend into the lights and announce to his friend, "I'm going to find my prince today .”

His classmate and best friend Kathy laughed: "God Josh, you look like a girl who finally escaped from a dark castle."

"Don't be so mean, Kathy, I didn't just make sarcastic remarks when you secretly wrote a love letter to the captain of the football team."

Joshua was so happy that he was about to fly, his eyes could only hold those same kind of dazzlingly dressed people, and he didn't hear the rude ridicule of the girl: "I don't care what you say at all, Kathy , you see, that is already the fourth man who gave me a sneak peek."

"Yeah, you look damn handsome, handsome blond guy, you're going to have a dozen men swoon over you." Kathy looked at his phone, "Oh, I have to go."

"Really?" Joshua stopped, his handsome fair face was dyed in different colors in the neon lights, his lake blue eyes sparkled: "Are you sure you won't stay for a while? You know I won't have so many opportunities to take You came out to play together." Joshya took her hand: "Today is my 16th birthday, you have to accompany me to greet this sacred moment."

"I have to go home, dear, be careful, don't be swallowed alive." Kathy said, and then saw the coquettish expression that the other party usually used when cheating, "No, don't use this trick Josh, you are already an adult I'm a man..." The sweet and soft voice was persistent: "Come on, I promise you will regret it as soon as you turn around." So the girl with soft ears had to be half dragged and half dragged by him.

They picked a bar that was pleasing to the eye, and the huge black security guard at the door was checking the customers.He looked down at the two little ghosts who squeezed over and said succinctly: "Show your ID."

"Here, sir." Joshua handed over the ID card that he had prepared early in the morning to the security guard. It was taken from his brother who was two years older than him. The face on the ID card looked exactly like him.

"go in."

Joshua immediately pulled Casey and ran in, grinning so excitedly that his mouth almost reached his ears.

They quickly stepped into the door and passed a short aisle dotted with small candlesticks. Fierce music and bizarre spotlights rushed towards them in an instant. The blue, purple and green lights were on the dim dance floor. Flashing back and forth, those silhouettes that swayed with the music seemed to have phosphorous smoothness passing by.

Joshua opened his mouth slightly, and was stunned for a while.

After a long time, the girl was the first to react, she was a little at a loss.She knew that Joshah couldn't take her eyes back from the exciting scenes as much as she could, but they shouldn't be in the way in the passage.So she dragged the guy who was talking boldly to the bar, and asked relaxedly, "Hey... well, do you want to tell me something interesting about last week in China?"

"What...? Well, yes, that's right." Joshua was trying to find a topic to buffer his still-humming brain, and quickly replied, "Let me think about my trip to Beijing and Shanghai to be honest. I have never tried it in my life, no matter which direction I turn, there are so many people that I can't see the end. Their food is really good. Although I have diarrhea for two days, even if I count this, when I return to China and face British cuisine, it still feels like falling from heaven. In hell."

"Are you nervous, Josh?"

"No, why?" Joshua would never admit that he needed someone to embolden him.

"What do you want? Little beauties?" The young and handsome bartender approached warmly. Casey straightened up and coughed twice, and ordered two glasses of beer pretending to be familiar. They stared at the lively dance floor and bit Straw until he drank the beer upside down, and Kathy couldn't stand it boredly: "Hey, are you going to sit here all the time? Like we usually go to the amusement park?"

"I didn't like going to the amusement park when I was 12, Kathy." Joshya backed off in his heart: "I think we have to change the store, Kathy, the men here seem to be better than donuts." I prefer french fries."

"Pfft—!" Casey choked on his metaphor, and then Joshah felt a hand on his shoulder, and a black man as strong as a Jedi came over and looked him up and down: "I like it." Chocolate bars, cream donuts?"

Joshua suddenly felt his hairs standing on end, he shrank stiffly, forced out a smile and said, "Sorry, but you are not my type."

The man shrugged and left in disappointment, and Casey said with a sigh: "Why did you reject him? He looks sexy and hot, don't tell me you just found out that you have racial discrimination today."

"Hey! Of course not!" Joshua immediately denied her friend's slander, and whispered in her ear, "Don't you know?"

"What?"

Angry at their lack of rapport, Joshya pulled her neck and explained in a low voice: "If you're a seasoned club queen he's the perfect match, but I just want someone who is gentle and considerate." Boyfriend, instead of being carried into the hospital the next day."

After hearing this, Kathy laughed loudly and unceremoniously, her long reddish-brown hair almost flung Joshua's face. "Come on, Josh, let's go to the dance floor." She stood up and said loudly to him over the deafening music, and then pulled him and jumped into the crazy crowd in the middle.

Joshua only felt that countless arms hit his body, and the smell of sweat, perfume and alcohol was like the best catalyst, making everyone close their eyes and twist their bodies along with the music, each looking for the prey tonight, together As a couple, looking for a little excitement for the constant life.

The two of them were the only couple. When Kathy held his hand and danced with his eyes closed, he thought in a daze that this would be a good time, let alone that no one would like to strike up a conversation with him, and at the same time closed his eyes. Let the intense music and changing lights cast a kaleidoscope of brilliant colors on his eyelids.

And in a corner of the bar where the lights couldn't reach, a stern man in a windbreaker stared at the surroundings with a cold expression. His figure was taller than anyone else here, and the color of his pupils could not be seen clearly under the psychedelic lights. The face has an oriental soft but straight nose bridge, and the knee-length blond hair is particularly eye-catching.

Maybe it's a mixed-race favorite by God's favor.

"Master, is he our king?" In the void, a deep voice asked in an unfamiliar language. The man nodded in response, but he didn't see anyone talking to him, and no second person noticed. This strange sound.

Then the man walked straight towards a certain direction on the dance floor as if he had a goal. As the face of the immature young man gradually became clear, the royal aura he could feel became stronger and stronger.

Joshua was having fun with Casey, completely forgetting the purpose of stepping into the bar, when suddenly someone grabbed his hand.He looked suspiciously at the owner of the wide and slender palm. His handsome and charming face made him forget even his instinct to speak.

The man exerted a little force on his hand, as if to make him follow him.

Joshua looked back and forth between the two in a little panic and excitement, and Kathy understood that he had found what he wanted, so he winked at him ambiguously: "Go, good luck, Josh." They kissed each other Kissing each other farewell, and then Kathy whispered solemnly in his ear: "You have to be more reserved."

"Okay." Joshya replied happily, and then he was held tightly by the man and led him to a dark alley outside the bar. Joshya thought it was natural to lean against the wall and face him, but she was a little disappointed.

"I, are we right here?" Joshya also thought that the other party could at least find a better place to have a drink and chat or something.He finally recovered from the handsome face of the other party, and tried to talk to him, "My name is Joshua, you can call me Josh..."

The other party's seemingly emotionless pupils looked at each other like sharp knives, and Joshya found that his eyes were light golden, and the self in those pupils looked really ugly, at a loss like a young boy.

Joshua silently reviewed himself, and then wanted to cheer himself up, but the other party suddenly squatted down at this moment.

Joshua was taken aback by his sudden movement, and his breath was out of breath, and then he noticed that the other person looked up at him again.So he realized at once that he had to do something.

That's right, take it one step at a time and don't make yourself look stupid.Joshya tried to calm himself down and zipped his pants, but the zippers of his jeans were always so stuck that he began to regret why he changed into elastic pants before going out.

Hell, this is too much.He figured he should go to the bathroom first.Joshua struggled for a long time, and when he was struggling with the metal part that was in the way, he suddenly heard the other party's voice.

He didn't realize at first that it was he who was speaking, the voice was elegant and cold, like the slow rising and falling tones in Shakespeare's plays, reaching his eardrums.

"Follow the destiny and welcome the lord; from now on, never leave the imperial court, never disobey the imperial edict; pledge to be loyal." The man knelt down deeply, with his forehead resting on his toes.

"Hey, are you okay?" Joshya asked strangely.

"Please say 'I forgive'."

"what?"

His long hair was like glistening flowing gold on the ground, changing its luster slightly as the owner raised his head: "Please say 'I forgive'."

What tricks is he playing? ?Does this guy have role play?Well, for the sake of his handsomeness... Joshua was thinking wildly, and when he met the other party's stern gaze, he couldn't help saying: "I forgive."

The man smiled as if he was relieved, "It's not too late, please come with me, my lord." He paused for a moment, then lowered his eyes slightly and asked, "Do you want to make it easier for me first?"

Joshua was taken aback for a moment, then looked down, and quickly tidied up: "No, there is no need."
