Law of the Dragon

"Wait, what's going on?" Eros was startled, looking at Sa Keluo.

"Her Majesty the Empress Bintian, the successor is her younger brother, Your Majesty Doro." Sa Keluo said to Prime Minister Embo, "Prepare for the succession ceremony and funeral."

"Uh... I, I see." Embo also looked at Eros.

"I don't agree! Why should I become the former, the former! I haven't abdicated yet..." Eros yelled, "I'm still the king..."

"Not anymore," Thakro turned his head, his black eyes looked at him quietly, "Alyssa is dead, no one will pose a threat to the new emperor anymore."

Eros opened his lips, not knowing what to say. Everyone looked at him, as if they sympathized with his situation. This depressing atmosphere made him feel uncomfortable: "Anyway, I don't agree!" said After that, he turned around and ran away.

"Your Majesty!" Hasen hurriedly wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Yarrow, "Master Yarrow..."

"Let him be quiet..." Yarrow said softly, turning his head to look at Sa Keluo.

×××

"What! How can anyone do this... What is His Majesty Doro..." Eros sat on the grass in the outskirts, hugging his knees, looking at the blue sky.

He had been sitting there for quite some time, so the sun was already out.

"Please, you have repeated it many times," Xilu said impatiently, "why do you want to be king so much?"

"Because..." Eros stood up suddenly in a daze. That's right, he has no interest in being a king. Why is he so sad here?All he wanted was jewels and gold coins from the king's treasury.

That's right!Eros thought for sure, this is why he came to the human world, who wants to sit on that stupid throne!

"Okay, let's go to the treasury!" Eros sniffed and said firmly, "Anyway... I was going to do it, and they did it to me first!"

"That's right, what's the use of complaining about yourself alone," Xi Lu comforted, "Take practical actions and loot the treasury!"

"That's right, let's go!"

Eros was familiar with the way to the treasury. After midnight, he took a few keys stolen from the Chancellor of the Exchequer and walked in smoothly all the way.

When he reached the last door, he inserted the key into the keyhole, but stopped and did not turn it.

"What's wrong?" Xilu's voice echoed layer after layer in the sturdy passage of the treasury.

"I don't know..." Eros turned the key, and there was the sound of springs beating and colliding in the huge lock, but he didn't push the door to go in. "I'm still in a bad mood..."

"Didn't dragons like money the most? Those gold coins and gems, just thinking about it, don't you feel tempted?" Xi Lu said in a rambling voice, "Hey, didn't you wait for this day? Norman's money should be quite a lot..."

Xilu's voice seemed to come from far away, Eros stood there thinking, not knowing what Xilu said at all.

He was just thinking, why can't he still be happy?The images of this morning flashed through my mind over and over again. To Thakro, am I just being used? Ah, it seems like this was the original agreement, right?He made me a king, but I'm not a real king. So many people already know that I'm a false king. The princess also has this in her hand to act so quickly, right?

But... I still feel so sad.

Eros couldn't tell why, maybe it was just because the eyes that Sa Keluo looked at him at that moment were pitch black, nothing, as if he couldn't see anything, even if he stood in front of him, he didn't reflect those dark eyes. in the eyes...

He subconsciously pushed open the door and stood in the richest place in the country.

When he came last time, there was only a thin layer of gold coins and gems here, but two years later, the wealth here has actually piled up.

"Did you take the bag? Or take something else, how do we move it..." Xilu said excitedly, although he is not a dragon, but he was a businessman before, of course he is now, so it is strange that he is not moved by wealth .

Even with the help of the elves, the floods in the three districts will take several years to be cured. In these few years, the people in the three districts still need state funding. Winter is coming soon. I heard that human beings are very afraid of the cold; there are four districts Over there, I heard that there was an earthquake, and many houses were destroyed by the earthquake. Those people have no place to live now; and on the west side, those refugees alone are not enough to reclaim wasteland, and this matter is still in progress, at least this winter , if they have no food, they will...

"What are you doing?" West Road called out, "Hurry up and load gold coins! Don't you like it very much?" I wish I had hands and feet, so I could just move them all away!

The Minister of Finance must be very troublesome, the cost of the funeral and the enthronement of the new emperor, as well as the people brought by the empress, and the entire daily expenses of the imperial capital...

"Eros!" Xilu called out, "Now is not the time for fugue, okay?"

If he took a gold coin from here, would someone die in the winter without food?

"Hi!" Xilu called.

But human life is inherently fragile...

"Eros."

Another deep voice pulled him out of his thoughts, he turned around slowly, and saw a man standing by the door of the treasury, he didn't know when he came in, even in the dark, they could See each other clearly because they have the same eyes that see through the dark.

Eros looked at him quietly, the darkness passed through each other like flowing water, he remembered that when they first met, in the valley in front of the lair, they had looked at each other like this, trying to find something from each other.

"I'm no longer the king," Eros said softly, looking at the other party, "I won't take anything with me either."

"But you deserved those!" Xilu called out, "You run around for this country, do you plan every day for this country? You have done so many things and paid so much..."

"I asked for that," Eros suddenly interrupted Xilu. From the beginning to the end, the man didn't promise him anything.After going through those things, he was no longer the black dragon who had no worries. He was bound by these useless emotions, and he could never return to his original self.

Eros suddenly felt very tired. He really wanted to sleep well. After sleeping for three or four hundred years, he suddenly missed his parents, his violent sister, and those relatives who got together and gossiped about nothing. up.

He thought, I should leave, leave this continent, go to their side, go to the other side of the Red Sea, sleep well next to them, and then forget all about it.

"I'm leaving," Eros lightly stroked the golden ring on his finger, and in the end he took only this.

"You have made a good king," Thakro said softly, "Even if everyone doesn't say it, everyone will remember you."

The faces of those people flashed through his mind, but he remembered them so clearly, and the memory of this man was so deep in his mind after only being together for two years.But it doesn't matter, the dragon has a very long life, and a long time will heal all wounds, just like his elder who fell in love with the demon god and finally fell in love, and in the end it was just a helpless smile.

Eros walked towards the door of the treasury. He wanted to smile at Thakro, but he was afraid that his smile would be too ugly. He wanted to say a few words, but he didn't know what to say.

But as soon as he stepped out of the door of the treasury, Sa Keluo stuffed something into his hand.

Eros spread out his hand and saw a pure gold key in his palm, engraved with the family crest of the Layton family and decorated with precious stones: "What is this?"

"There are probably some antique calligraphy and paintings in the place where our house keeps gems and gold coins. I don't think you will be interested." Thakro looked at him with a smile. You don’t have to worry about someone starving to death after taking it.”

"I'm not worried—" Eros subconsciously said, but immediately stopped talking, his golden eyes showed confusion, "Why give me this?" Even if you give me the key, tell me anyway, your vault where……

"The dowry," said Thacklow, "a dragon's dowry is dear indeed."

"The dowry... what is that?" Eros asked Thakro naturally when he heard this word for the first time.

Sa Keluo, who had always been calm and reserved, suddenly became embarrassed, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Instead, Xilu said contemptuously, "The dowry is...he wants to buy you."

"Oh, he wants to..." Eros's eyes widened suddenly, "What is he going to do!" Turning his head and looking at Sa Keluo fiercely: "Why did you buy me!"

"It's not buying..." Sa Keluo said quickly, and gave Xilu a threatening look by the way, "The dowry means... it means a promise of love, do you remember that I said I like you? Although you are not the king anymore , but... well, I'm sorry about this, but..."

Seeing the demon god explaining helplessly, Eros suddenly felt good.This man always had a clear look, stable and self-controlled, and became more... calm after becoming a demon god, but this appearance made him look so... um, cute.

"But what?" Eros asked.

"But I hope we can always be together," Thakro said, his expression a little awkward, when walking in the fog, he was so calm because of the fog, but now, those golden eyes sparkle Looking at himself gave him the urge to hide in the annihilation space.

Without waiting for Eros to speak, he quickly added: "I love you, you are... a very good dragon."

Eros finally laughed out, almost to the point of tears. He used to hold Thaklow's shoulders as usual, patted his shoulders and said, "I think, maybe I like you too." He Said, but said in my heart, I love you very much, and even rely on you, "for the sake of your family's treasury."

Happier than getting any large share of the money, it was a relief to hear what he said.In his eyes, he was just a stubborn and scheming human being, but he proved that he could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.His heart does not succumb to darkness, nor does he succumb to the temptation of powerful forces. He has his own beliefs, the people he wants to protect, and the country and people he wants to protect.

He was once weak and ignorant, but his belief was firm, and he would not shrink back in the face of difficulties. Like all knights, he proudly drew his sword and walked in the forefront in danger.He is tolerant and has his own principles. He is willing to share all the wealth with himself, and is willing to accompany him all the time...

Well, he's a nice guy too.
