How does the black lotus redeem the male protagonist [Western Fantasy]

Jinjiang debut (opening)

The king was nowhere to be seen in the magnificent banquet hall.When the slightly rich king disappeared from the crowd, the deliberate smile disappeared from his face, and beneath the gentleness and amiability floating on the surface was indifference and coldness.

Wearing bejeweled shoes and a coat made of animal fur, he walked into the dark room reservedly.Put the final touches on what to do for the night.

"Bang bang!" The wine bottle in the dark room was ruthlessly smashed inside, the glass shattered into tiny pieces, the purple wine spilled and stained the ground, and the faint aroma of grapes filled the room.

"Those damn Montos." The king cursed, and sat down on the sofa in the room, leaning back.

He was really angry.In order to maintain the balance among the countries, Santorini has always maintained a good relationship with the martial Monto.And before that, she even made an agreement with Monto's prince to marry her daughter Hilda to Monto's side, and let her perform her duties as a princess.

But just a while ago, Monto had a civil strife. He was quite optimistic about the prince who wanted to marry his daughter, but died.Monto has a new king.

This wasn't a big deal, but it was just that the person my princess married had to change, it didn't make much difference.However, the newly appointed King Monto did not intend to continue his friendship with Santorini, but planned to marry another neighboring country.

So the situation of the Kingdom of Santorini suddenly became embarrassing.His Majesty the King became very irritable because of this.

You must know that if Santorini cannot find new allies and cannot obtain new support in terms of force, it will soon become a piece of fresh fat and attract countless coveted wolves.

This was intolerable to the king.

That seriously affected his status, which means that he may be strangled by the army of another country at any time, lose his current status and rights, and lose his good life.

More likely to endanger his life!

So finding new allies has become an urgent matter.

Fortunately, the king of Santorini soon got an invitation that suits him very well.

This invitation came from Sauron, who was about to become the Pope of the Church of Light.

Alssein's previous small letters retreated to borrow the influence left by him in the past, which brought a lot of trouble to Sauron.Sauron thought this was a warning, and his small means of warning had been discovered, but due to the overall situation, he did not directly fight against him, and hoped that he could see the situation clearly.

Others, if warned, might call it quits for fear of losing the status they currently hold.But Sauron would not, he had kept the situation in suspense for too long, and the shadow that Al Sein might take everything was always hanging over his head.

Sauron does not allow this to happen, absolutely not.

So after the trouble happened, he felt the warning, and was even more worried that Elsaine would return and intervene in the Pope's succession.

That's troublesome.According to the troubles and accusations he received that made him burnt out, Elsain's influence clearly has not dissipated, and he still has the ability to return.

The possibility was too frightening for Sauron.

So even in fact Elsaine had absolutely no interest in the pope position and found it troublesome.But Sauron was still wary of him from beginning to end.

And this time, he seized another great opportunity.

He suffered heavy losses before, so this time he learned his lesson and no longer used his own hands.And he was going to write a bad check to the king of the Kingdom of Santorini and kill people with a knife.

In this way, the impact of this incident on him can be minimized.

After the previous warning, he stopped even the church's secret embarrassment, as if he had accepted the warning, and he was extraordinarily quiet.Al Sein will surely relax the mind.

At this time, it is an excellent fatal blow.

In any case, he would not have much loss.And if he succeeds, it will solve a serious problem.

So the King of Santorini, who lacked allies and insufficient force, and Sauron, who had not yet become Pope but was approaching the date, hit it off, and there was this vaguely wrong banquet.

The king of Santorini wiped his slightly sweaty face with a handkerchief, his fur was too hot.

But in order to show his nobility and majesty, he was unwilling to take off his fur, so he could only wipe the sweat off his face again and again.

"What Your Majesty said is indeed to help him get rid of the bishop of Elsain, will make the church our most solid backing after becoming Pope, right?" the king confirmed.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The servant took the letter, read it again, and replied respectfully.

"Ah, what a good deal." The king sighed secretly.He never expected to be blessed by misfortune like this, losing a Monto, but getting the Church of Light to rely on.

What a deal.

What a wonderful thing to get rid of a bishop and get an ally who makes everyone in the mainland jealous.

As for failing to meet the conditions?The king never thought about the possibility of this matter.

Just a bishop, how troublesome it can be.

And their design is very thorough, so that no one will cause trouble to them if someone dies in the palace.

When the time comes, the bishop of Elsain will die, and the royal family of Santorini will mourn for him, but they will not know anything about it.

They are just innocent and generous hosts.

As an excuse to get great benefits for them, maybe he can also be given a grand funeral.Oh, but it would be good to hear Pope Sauron.

I believe he will not care about a dead man.

Maybe in order to attend his funeral, many church people will come to Santorini, and then they can make a lot of money.

The king touched his belly, and his calculations were very smart.The anger just now was swept away by the prospect of a better life in the future, and replaced by a burst of joy.

There was a smug smile on his face.

I really want to arrive at the day when the Pope succeeds to the throne!

At this time, the banquet hall was still singing and dancing, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Elsain sat in the corner, quietly watching everyone's expressions of joy, restraint or complacency, which were particularly vivid.Paired with scheming accessories or subconscious body language, interesting stories emerged in Alsin's mind.

For example, the sapphire ring on the hand of the elegant and kind viscount is a pair with the lady on the arm of the baron at the other end; another example is the red mud that has not been wiped clean on the toe of the lady in the bright yellow dress and the blue The traces on the cuffs of the young man in the suit come from near the fountain at the back door of the banquet hall...

Thanks to these people, Elsain is not boring at all.And Ernest, who listened to the stories of the private life of the nobles in Elseyin's mind, also maintained a shocked expression, immersed in the excitement of the bloody stories, and did not feel the passage of time at all.

However, the eldest prince who was surrounded by the crowd quietly wrinkled the hem of his clothes amidst the non-stop greetings and exchanges, annoyed by the crowd that couldn't be driven away.He couldn't help but look at the golden hair exposed by the sofa in the corner frequently, as if condensed by the sun.

After waiting for a while, it seemed that the time had passed. If he waited any longer, Elsain might have to leave the banquet hall after a while.The eldest prince finally couldn't bear it anymore, waved away the crowd around him with a little apology, and hurriedly approached the corner where Elsain was.

He slowed down, walked to the other side of the sofa where Elsain was sitting and sat down, with a low and gentle voice: "Your Majesty, long time no see."

He disguised himself very well, but Ernest, hidden in the shadow of his feet, could hear clearly what was going on in his mind——

Just let him drink the drink he's waiting for, and my job is done.The rest has nothing to do with their royal family.He didn't want to actually do those dirty things.

Ernest's eyes widened immediately.

While the eldest prince was still chatting with Al Sein without knowing it, he took twice as much crimson wine from the attendant who passed behind him, and gave Al Sein a glass as if he hadn't noticed: "I heard that Your Majesty recent……"

Alsain took the wine glass from the eldest prince, but just as he took the wine, he felt something quietly grabbing his trousers.

Elsain raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, on the face he was still flirting with the eldest prince, but secretly he focused all his attention on his feet.

The little paw lurking in the shadow opened its paw slightly because he didn't respond and tugged at Al Sein's trousers.

Elsain moved his leather-shoeed feet a few inches to one side, and felt the fluffy and warm fur.

He couldn't help but wanted to show a smile, but felt it was too obvious, so he raised his glass and held it in front of him.The little guy below immediately became anxious, thinking that he really wanted to drink the glass of fortified wine, he quickly stretched his paws in from the hem of his trousers, and scratched against his skin.The force was very light, and Elsain was taken aback by the hairy feeling.

As a result, without waiting for Elsain to make any further moves, Ernest below reacted even more and withdrew his claws.

Elsain waited for a while, and the place below began to be quiet again, as if nothing had happened.He was silent for a while, then put the glass to his lips again.

As a result, there was no claw on the trouser leg this time. A black claw protruded from the small shadow of his back against the sofa and pressed against his suit. The action was much harder than before, as if he was in a hurry, for fear that he would really He made a dangerous move, so he hoped to attract his attention.

Elsain lowered his eyebrows, with a helpless smile in his eyes, and said to the eldest prince who was gradually losing control of his expression because of his repeated horizontal jumps: "Sorry, I'll leave." Then he turned and went to the banquet hall. A bathroom in a corner.

"Click." He locked the door.

As soon as the door was locked, Ernest jumped out of the shadows and cried "meow meow" anxiously for a long time before realizing that he couldn't speak like this, so he wanted to change into a human form and say it again.

But his maneuver was unsuccessful, as Al Sein crouched down.He rubbed the top of Ernest's hairy head with his hands.

"It's all right," he said.

"It's nothing." He stared at Ernest's golden and gray pupils seriously with his clean blue eyes, and said every word seriously: "Trust me."

Ernest gradually calmed down, and gradually regained his sanity.He looked at Al Sein, motionless, and finally lowered his head as if giving in, and gave a soft "meow".

Elsain picked up the soft kitten and kissed it on the head, his voice was full of comfort: "Thank you for your concern."

Then, when Ernest was dizzy and unable to react, he walked out of the bathroom again, sat back beside the waiting prince, and held the glass of wine in his hand.

Before Ernest was in a hurry to savor the soft and sweet touch, the external accident happened.

"Your Highness...you!!" The forbearable and painful voice resounded together with the sound of the glass breaking, attracting the attention of almost everyone in the banquet hall.

Ernest also followed and hid in the shadow of Alsin's feet.When the urgency faded and his reason returned, he heard Al Sein's inner voice clearly.

There is clearly no worry or fear at all, the emotions contained in it are only full of interest——

[The show begins! 】

Blood gushed out from the mouth of the moon-like youth, with a painful sense of brokenness, and a little water in the eyes of the young bishop could be vaguely seen in the haze.

He covered his mouth, but the blood still couldn't stop overflowing from his palms, and fell to the ground, blooming red plums.

Everyone stood up for the shocking scene that happened suddenly.

It was like witnessing an aboveboard murder.

"I didn't... thought..." The young man's voice gradually weakened, the golden light representing healing flashed and disappeared on his body, carrying a kind of futile grief.He slowly became fatigued, like a beautiful flower branch that withered helplessly, making the people around him almost unable to breathe.

"Save, save him." Hilda smashed the glass of the sealed room, and jumped out of the window in a panic.Regardless of the bloody arm that was cut, she ran out without royal demeanor, passed through the crowd, and approached Al Sein.But it was still a step too late, and only had time to hear a vague word "Sauron", and saw that the young man like an angel stopped breathing, and his slightly heaving chest also stopped all slight movements.

But no one moved, they watched everything indifferently like stone sculptures.

The scene was picturesquely beautiful, but with a coolness that sent Hilda straight over her head.

The young man's beautiful face, regardless of gender, still has traces of bright red, but it doesn't seem ugly, but has a thrilling beauty, as if it wants to take away the soul of the person.

Hilda stretched out her hand tremblingly, only to realize that her palm was covered with blood.The young man was still lying there with a peaceful expression, as if he had fallen asleep.

She suddenly had a strong sense of unreality.

Hilda raised her head, facing the face of the gentle and polite brother Wang in her impression, taking a full view of the surprise and anger that he hadn't had time to put away.

There was clearly no pain or fear in it.It was as if the disappearance of a life would not move him in the slightest.A creepy guess emerged from the bottom of her heart uncontrollably, making Hilda tremble uncontrollably.

She suddenly discovered that the world seemed completely different from what she had known, with a frightening sense of strangeness.

"Ahhhhh—" the lady's scream sounded belatedly, as if time resumed flowing when the stop button was pressed.

The scene suddenly became chaotic, but no one dared to stand up and accuse the eldest prince. Their eyes were trembling, and everyone panicked. The originally noble and orderly dinner was suddenly messed up.

The well-mannered nobles looked like frightened hens now, screaming and scurrying about.

The king's birthday dinner was completely messed up in an instant, completely ruined.

In the visual blind spot of the circular dome, the farce protagonist who should have died is comfortably enjoying the chaotic scene that happened because of him.

Holding his chin, he saw the annoyed expression on the face of the disturbed king when he walked out, and happily evoked an undisguised smile, just like a fox that had succeeded in a scheme could not help but shake its big fluffy tail.

"This is just the beginning." Alsain looked at the scene of cakes being trampled everywhere and the chicken coop where the king couldn't stabilize himself for a while, and he flicked his long legs hanging in the air, looking a little playful.

Ernest looked at the messy scene below, but couldn't feel any sympathy for the distressed Santorini royal family.His mood at the moment completely coincides with that of Elsain——

[Presumably their expressions will be more interesting tomorrow. 】

[Looking forward to appreciation. 】
