After being sacrificed to Eros [Greek mythology]

Psyche was finally rescued.

Because she was rescued in time, she didn't get knocked up and down, or was stabbed by sharp thorns.

But the girl's expression was in a trance, her eyes were dull, and she was already frightened.

The man asked her to sit on the quilt, and rubbed the back of her frizzy head with his cool hands, "Do you have to do this?"

His tone was light, as if he was just discussing with her.

But Psyche knew in his heart that it was just a fantasy for human beings to want to fight some kind of unnatural creatures.

"Are you going to eat me?" she asked, "Don't be silly."

He smiled lowly, "But I saved you."

Psyche didn't have a weapon in his hand, so he couldn't fight him.

Both her hands were grasped by him weakly and bonelessly.

The man lowered his eyes and kissed her lips indulgently.

His black figure enveloped her, her long hair was loose on Xuerun's shoulders, and her whole body turned into a pool of mud like a drunk.

Her clear blue eyes were full of mist at this moment, staring straight at the person in front of her whose face could not be seen clearly.

Somehow, there was an inexplicable feeling about him, like a dangerous vortex, the closer she was, the more she would be attracted by this vortex.

Gradually, she let go of her resisting hand, which turned into a dependent and nostalgic hug...

He reminded her timely, "Honey, aren't you sleepy?"

Psyche didn't know how long he had slept in a daze.

When the first ray of golden sunlight reflected on her face in the morning, she slightly opened a small crack, and saw the strange mural with floral decorations above her head.

Strange, she didn't ask her servants to change the murals in the bedroom...

It must be that the maid, Aliya, is making her own claims again.

Psyche turned over, pursed his lips, and was about to continue sleeping.

However, there seemed to be a bright light piercing into her head, she quickly woke up from the confused dream, and opened her eyes soberly.

Fear engulfed her like a tsunami in an instant.

...What is she thinking, this is the monster's palace.

Psyche sat up abruptly.

What happened last night is vivid in my mind, but the people around me have disappeared.

She was wearing a long-breasted skirt at the moment, which was made of soft yarn and dyed a Mediterranean purple shell color.

Her hair was combed at some point, and she was tied into an elegant and dignified bun, wearing a corolla made of rose branches and leaves.

Psyche sat there for a while in amazement and dazedly, and found that the surroundings were very quiet, except for herself, there was no one else.

The high window from which she jumped off last night is still there, looking down from above, you can still see thorns and thorns everywhere.

Psyche broke out in a cold sweat involuntarily.

In the dining room, a rich breakfast and delicious wine are ready.

She collected herself, ate a little something, and knew that what happened last night was not a dream.

She was indeed sacrificed.

The man who couldn't see his face clearly was her husband according to the oracle.

It's just that the monster didn't seem to be in a hurry to eat her at the moment, he didn't kill her last night, he even provided her with food and drink, and gave her clean and warm clothes.

Psyche could not help but fall into deep self-doubt.

... Could it be that all of this is an arrangement of fate?

It took Psyche a day to walk through the palace inside and out.

The palace was huge, with floors of gold and cedar.Large and small pillars, narrow corridors, complicated and winding spiral staircases... Not to mention the night, Psyche would be dazzled even in the daytime.

...Well, the decor is nice.

The high windows are closed with crystals made of a special material, allowing sunlight and wind to penetrate in, making it warm in winter and cool in summer.

Her bedroom has the best view in the entire palace, without any fences, and the distant scenery can be seen at a glance.

After much deliberation, Psyche decided to keep the layout of the entire palace in mind for emergencies.

Now, she can only pin some hopes on Aldous.

Aldous was temporarily sent by her to protect the witnesses.When Aldos returns to the palace and cannot find her, he will definitely find her here.

Aldos drank the blood of the sorceress since he was a child, and was born with magical powers.

Even if the monster is ferocious, Aldos will be able to defeat it.must.

Psyche let out a long sigh, and could only comfort himself in this way.

She knelt down softly, facing the golden sunlight slanting down from the window, and prayed devoutly.

I hope my sister is not persecuted by Chloe in the palace...

I hope Aldous finds her soon...

Let's hope the monster doesn't come again tonight...

May the merciful gods retract the oracle...

The other side of the palace.

The story of the princess being sacrificed to the monster has spread throughout the streets and alleys, but the plague and floods sweeping across the country have not subsided.

Everyone says the wrath of God has not yet been appeased.

In the corner, a burly and armored man was holding a spear tightly. His iron-like black eyebrows were deeply raised, and his eagle nose and eagle eyes were ferociously listening to people's gossip.

Aldos Heletes couldn't believe it. He had only been away for less than two days. His beloved Princess Psyche was actually sacrificed to a monster?

When he became the lowest slave and was about to be killed by the plague, it was the princess who stretched out the holy hand and rescued him from suffering.

With her support, he has grown from a humble slave step by step to become the number one warrior in the kingdom that everyone respects.

Aldos swore to Styx on the first day he was rescued, and swore to serve Princess Psyche to the death.

To him, she is not only a beloved master, but also a ray of light, a sacred and untouchable cloud in the sky, his own god.

He didn't even think that one day he would have the honor of marrying her as his wife, just looking up at her beautiful and lovely face from a distance can make him happy all day long.

And now, those damned people actually sent his god alive to the cruel minions of monsters?

Aldos felt the blood on the top of his head erupt, like a volcano that was about to move, and it might erupt at any time.

No matter what, he will save the princess from the monster's mouth.

Even at the price of blood!

Aldous smeared dust all over his face, making his already dark skin even more unrecognizable.

He hurried and escaped into the crowd.

Night falls again.

The night fog was thick, and the palace was once again plunged into dead darkness.

Psyche sat on the cold and hard ground with his legs bent, his hands clasping his knees tightly.

She stared at the bright and mysterious moon outside the window, counting the hours every minute.

The day was fine, she knew she was safe and she could roam throughout the palace.But at night, the palace was lifeless and there were no candles.

During the day, those elegant and beautiful sculptures seem to be alive, and there seems to be ghosts everywhere.

Psyche felt a little regretful, she should be softer.

At least ask the monster to allow her to light the lamp at night, otherwise she will stay alone in this empty palace, and she may become insane after a long time.

She even had an inexplicable fear of the soft bed.

She was afraid that after she accidentally fell asleep, she would be eaten by that monster in her sleep...

Psyche had been hiding on the rough and bitter ground for a long time, she slowed down her breathing as much as possible, and focused all her attention on listening to the wind and grass outside the window.

She still had an extravagant hope, she was hiding in such a hidden corner, what if the monster couldn't find her?

Just as she was wandering in the sky, she felt that the surrounding air suddenly became quiet, like yesterday, with small whirlpools rolling up.

Immediately, a pair of volleying feet landed in front of her, and she could vaguely see the person wearing a light Heaton linen dress, with elegant folds on the hanging corners.

Psyche's heart stopped suddenly.

His deep face was immersed in the thick darkness, and he stretched out his hand towards her, "Why are you sitting on the cold ground?"

Psyche buried his head deeply.

He was silent for a moment, then took Psyche's arms and hugged her up in the air.

Psyche's shoulders were clasped by him affectionately, the distance between the two was so close, and the moonlight was so bright, but she still couldn't see each other's appearance clearly.

She learned to be good, and said weakly, "Can you light a candle, please? I won't look at you."

While holding her and flying through the air, the man kissed and licked her earlobe fascinatedly.

He said in a low voice, "You can't light a lamp, Psyche, at least not while I'm around."

Psyche swallowed his throat, and immediately asked, "Then during the rest of your absence, can I light the lamp freely?... The palace is too dark, and I can't even find the way to my bedroom."

His soft eyelashes pressed against her smooth face, "As soon as it gets dark, I will come to accompany you."

Psyche bit his lip, and then glared at the man viciously.

Anyway, in the chaos, he couldn't see her expression.

However, he suddenly asked, "Why, are you afraid of the dark?"

Psyche nodded silently.

He let out a long hum and thought for a moment.

Psyche said right away, "Don't worry, I can turn off the lights when you come."

Presumably this monster has turned into a human being, and it is also extremely ugly, otherwise it would be impossible to be so stingy with his face... Or maybe this monster is afraid of candlelight and will die when it sees light or something.

However, if the lamp is not lit, she will be blind at night.

With the light, there is no harm to her.

He was silent for a while, and said meekly, "Well, since Psyche is afraid of the dark, as soon as the sun goes down tomorrow, hundreds of candles in the palace will be lit for you. Then it will be as bright as day, so you don't have to be afraid anymore."

Psyche let out a sigh of relief.
