The Duke in the Spire of Thorns

Escrito showed Celeste a lot of alchemy results, and nearly half of them gave Celeste a chill down his spine.

"Look here."

Escrito smiled faintly. He pointed to a sealed narrow-necked glass bottle and said softly: "This is the 'Mitra's Kiss', a by-product of a failed experiment. It is still useful, so I will stayed."

He happily picked up the glass bottle and handed it to Celeste, "My master, come."

Celeste refused to reach out, "I don't want it."

Escrit didn't force it either, he twisted the thin neck of the glass bottle with his slender fingertips, and said casually: "This is a very poisonous poison, you only need to pour a drop on the ground, and the human beings in a county will be cured." All die."

Celeste: "...put it back."

He remembered the "useful" that Escrit had said before - where is he going to use it?

He couldn't help but took a step back, but Escrito seemed to have expected it, he put "Mitra's Kiss" back, and then obediently knelt down in front of Celeste.

This is a scene that Celeste is very familiar with: no matter what happens, as long as his emotions are wrong, no matter whether Escrito has made a mistake or not, he will kneel down in front of him without hesitation.

No excuses, no grievances, just obedience and loyalty.

But the scene now is different from then.

Celeste lowered his head and looked at Escrit. He was kneeling in front of him, and his appearance seemed to be submissive, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn't seem to be bowing his head sincerely. Instead, he seemed to be coaxing Siles in this way. Very happy.

"Don't worry." The man in black robe curled his lips: "I thought about you before making these things, as long as you wear the pendant I gave you, no matter what happens, you will not be harmed. "

He was kneeling, but reached out to touch Celeste's fingertips, his fingers were hot, and as soon as he touched Celeste's fingertips, Celeste withdrew his hand suddenly.

His casual attitude irritated Celeste, who was about to get angry when Escrit grabbed his left hand.Escrito's palm is wide enough to completely wrap the Duke's hand:

"I made them to please you."

His deep voice sounded slowly: "Human society has many rules and hypocrisy, but that is where you live after all, so if you need it, I will give you everything you need."

"I can also kill everyone who stands in your way for you."

"Whether it is a village, a small town, a city, or even a country, as long as you give an order, I can dedicate them to you."

Escrito's words were too rampant, but Celeste unexpectedly didn't feel that there was anything wrong, as if the other party should have been like this.

He looked at Escrit's handsome eyebrows, and lowered his head to kiss the other's thin lips as if bewitched.

The kiss was very light and ended very quickly. After Celeste realized what he had done, he took two steps back as if to cover up, and said unnaturally: "You...you Stand up."

Escrit stood up, his smile more deliberate and gentler.

He took Celeste to continue to visit his works. Escrit showed almost all successful works, each time using the most accurate language to describe their functions, and added: "These You can take them all you want and use them however you want."

However, Celeste shook his head and rejected his kindness: most of these "works" are very destructive, and the destructive power of many "works" is even far greater than "Mitra's Kiss".

These works one after another reflect a kind of scalp-numbing malice, which is completely malicious to human beings.

"Do you... hate humans?"

Celeste couldn't help asking.

Escrito lowered his head and kissed the back of Celeste's hand: "Why do you suddenly ask such a question?"

Without waiting for Celeste to answer, Escalite continued, "In any case, I love you very much, for this, I will do anything, as long as you ask me, I will make you feel good about me no matter what. satisfied."

His light peck fell on Celeste's side face, Celeste's heart couldn't help beating, his mind was a little confused, he felt a little out of breath, he reached out to caress his chest, The heart was beating so hard that he almost wondered if it was going to jump straight out of his chest.

"I want to serve you if you want."

Escrito's voice sounded like the whisper of the devil, with an irresistible allure. Celeste looked at him and thought to himself:

why not?

There are many pleasures to be gained from having a healthy body, and Celeste quickly understood this.

But the dream is a dream after all, he still has to get up.

Celeste sat up hugging the quilt, yawned lazily, and finally understood why Noyce loved being with his mistress so much.

His brows and eyes drooped lazily, and he thought calmly: Knight Commander Escrito didn't come to wake me up today.

As if there was a tacit understanding, as soon as Celeste had this idea, there was a polite knock on the door of his room.

It seemed he knew I was awake.

Celeste thought, stretched out his hand and tugged at the soft ribbon that had fallen beside the pillow, the crisp bell rang, the door opened in response, and Escrit walked in.

He reached out and lifted the heavy bed curtains, and tied them to the bedposts with gentle movements.

The curtains still covered the windows, and although it was daytime, the room was still very dark, with only some light provided by the flickering fire in the fireplace.Celeste glanced at the firewood in the fireplace and came to a simple conclusion: Escrito had added wood to his fireplace at least three times during the night.

This is a trivial matter. Your Excellency the Duke never pays attention to these things, and he doesn't think there is anything commendable for Escrit's doing these things.But today, he was in a particularly happy mood, and even this trivial service became Escrit's advantage in his eyes.

The pendant radiated heat quietly around his neck, His Excellency the Duke lay down on the pillow, without looking at Escrit, and asked lazily: "Ari, have you always wanted to climb onto my bed?" bed?"

"My master." Escrit took out the clothes Celeste was going to wear today from the closet beside him, and served him with all his heart: "I thought, I've already climbed up?"

He took out a vest and put it on for Celeste. The slightly tight vest showed the slender waist of the blond Duke. Lester brushes his hair.

Celeste's hair is very long. He was impatient to grow such long hair, but his mother hoped that he could keep it. It is said that this is an oriental custom, used to express the children's love for their parents.

Although Celeste didn't understand the relationship between growing his hair long and showing his love for his parents, since his mother asked him to, he did.

Anyway, it was never him who took care of the long blond hair.

After grooming, Celeste went downstairs, ready to officially start a new day.

Since coming to Latiou, his life has been very peaceful.Unlike the bustling royal city of Briarson, Latiu is just a relatively backward southern county. The nobles here are not qualified to meet Celeste, even though they have sent a lot of invitations to Celeste. But Celeste never responded to them once.

This is the difference in status.

When he was in Wangcheng, because there were many people with similar status to him, and his appearance was attractive enough, there were endless invitations to dance parties, banquets, even though his parents and cousins ​​had tried their best to reject some of them for him. But there were still a few unavoidable invitations that he had to attend.

Although those people understood that he was weak and made some compromises to show consideration, this kind of occasion was not suitable for Celeste to attend, and he himself didn't like it.

Especially at the prom, dancing is a physically exhausting thing, but every time Princess Nali asks Celeste to dance with her - which is a total chore for Celeste.

He could feel the princess's admiration for him, but he had no feeling for her, but the people around him were keen to make them together.

His parents, his cousin Noyce, both think that Princess Nali is the best choice for him, and they are a good match, not to mention that Princess Nali is so obsessed with Celeste, as long as Celeste is willing to nod and agree to this door In marriage, he will be able to have a Her Royal Highness who is obedient to him, and a large dowry brought by Her Royal Highness.

Celeste is not opposed to political marriage, and Princess Nali is also very beautiful, but he feels that if he agrees, he will be tortured to death within a year of marriage with that lively princess.

Normal people can't bear to go to dance parties every day, let alone him who is not in good health?

This is also an important reason why Celeste left the royal city of Briarson this time.

The butler put two letters on a tray and put them on Celeste's desk. Celeste picked up the letters and glanced at them. One was a letter from his parents to him, and the other was from his cousin Nuo. Written by Is.

He opened the two letters with a letter opener. The first thing he read was the letter from his parents, which contained some warm concern and some information about his parents' current situation. After reading the family letter, he picked up Noyce's letter. letter.

Noyce's letter is very thick, and the newly appointed His Majesty the King is talking about his love affairs in the letter, and telling Celeste that there is a new actress like a lark in the Green Opera House, which is extremely exaggerated Describe the beauty of the other party in an attempt to lure him back to the royal city.In addition, there are some nagging concerns, Celeste smiled slightly, and saw the last paragraph at a glance, where Noyce simply asked:

"My dear cousin, I have a young fool here who has come to me and wishes to be your squire. If you would like to have an errand, please write me back, and I will promise him. If If you don’t want to, please let me know, oh, by the way, his name is Yaris Dahl, he is the illegitimate son of the Dahl family, but it is quite useful.”

"Finally, please allow me to say again: take good care of your body and come back early, we all miss you very much, Briarson's rose should not be left outside for too long."
