The Duke in the Spire of Thorns

"How to do?"

Escrito stretched out his arms and embraced Celeste, "I decided to make up for this shortcoming, what do you think?"

His meaning was very clear, and Celeste was stunned. The secret desire in his heart was suddenly satisfied, but he couldn't believe it.He didn't respond immediately, but waited for a while, and asked slowly, "Why are you so responsible all of a sudden?"

Escrit chuckled, "I went to hunt down the man who chased me today. His alchemy tower is great, I didn't stay to do the alchemy experiment, it's getting late, I just want to come back to see you soon."

"I don't know when, just being by your side is more interesting than doing alchemy experiments. So, I can't think of any reason for me to waste time." Escrit's expression seemed relaxed, "I know you nobles are very Pay attention to the right family, but I have to tell you in advance, even if you are not satisfied with me, you can't choose someone else."

"You know, a man's jealousy is terrible, and if that man happens to be an alchemist, it will be even more terrible."

After coercing and luring, he whispered again: "But I can't think of any reason for you to choose someone else. Make a decision quickly. I assure you, I will be the best lover."

A long time ago, Escrito had met Celeste.

At that time, his father was still there, and the little duke was surrounded by his father's doting in the fortified castle, and he could only look at the outside world through the window. Escrit was looking for alchemy medicine in the forest, and he raised his head in a strange way, and saw A young nobleman leaning against the window.

He is so dazzling, beautiful and melancholy, like a princess imprisoned in a tower.

But the other party didn't notice Escrit, he just came to the window to get some air, and left soon.

That glimpse left a deep impression on Escrit, but this impression was not enough to prompt him to explore the identity of the young nobleman.He continued to search for alchemical medicinal materials in the forest, and seemed to be unaffected.

However, as it turned out later, it was not without its effects.

When Escrito designed to lure the alchemist to hunt him down, he subconsciously set the hiding place in that nobleman's castle.

The reason is justified: the castles of nobles usually have some kind of mysterious guardian force, and alchemists dare not invade at will.He could just take this opportunity to recuperate from his injuries, and arrange the next plan by the way.

He thought so, and did so.He found the bedroom of the castle owner by instinct, and saw the panicked castle owner.

The boy who was still childish at the beginning has grown up, and his appearance is even more outstanding.Escrit was taken aback for a moment, and then attributed it to the instinctive reaction to seeing beautiful things.

Not surprisingly, the intersection between them will not last long, but the originally short intersection was extended by him on his own initiative.

He proposed to make a deal with the noble boy, which was unnecessary in the first place.

He prepared medicine for the boy to help him separate his blood, he checked his body, and taught him to walk...

It was all unnecessary, but he didn't care as if he had lost his mind.

He held his breath subconsciously when he saw the complete mermaid form of the young man. He had seen and even captured a mermaid himself, but there had never been a mermaid as beautiful as Celeste.Not only is he beautiful, but he doesn't have the strength to protect himself, he is soft and fragile, and on the contrary, he is closer to the description of mermaids in fairy tale books.

He told Celeste at the time that he was disappointed, but that was completely false.Celeste's situation fit his base wish, but he knew that this wish was not to be seen, so he found an excuse to cover it up.

Originally, he wanted to observe and wait for a while. Unfortunately, what he hunted today was an alchemist who became a father. When he arrived, the alchemist was brewing a love potion, because his daughter fell in love with Shi Lai. Celeste, but not worthy of Celeste, in order to fulfill his daughter's wish, he began to brew love potion.

Escrito never involved the innocent, and the alchemist also knew this. When Escrito appeared in front of him, he behaved very calmly, did not run away, and only asked him to leave a letter to his daughter before he died. letter.

Escrit agreed.

After the alchemist lost his breath, he checked the letter. The alchemist did not disclose his death. He told his daughter that he was going to a farther place. Before he left, he left a bottle of love potion for her. , she can use it to get the love she wants.

This alchemist was a radical who advocated seizing Escrit's alchemy achievements, and he dealt cruel blows to Escrit during that hunt.Escrito was amazed by his father's love and didn't intend to interfere, but after he figured out who the bottle of love potion was about to act on, he was no longer calm.

He threw the bottle of potion on the ground and smashed it into pieces, and the light blue potion was scattered everywhere.

... Her father didn't put the medicine bottle away before leaving, and a gust of wind knocked the medicine bottle off the edge of the table to the ground and smashed it to pieces.

It's totally possible, isn't it?

Escrit didn't think it was wrong to use love potions to confuse people, and he was also an alchemist.He wouldn't even bother if the love potion wasn't acting on Celeste.

Escrito looked at the corpse on the ground, and thoughtfully turned the alchemist's corpse into a puddle of water, lest his daughter notice something wrong, and then he left.

He suddenly figured out one thing: since he has already determined what he wants, why should he continue to observe and waste time?

Escrito has never been in a relationship, but he heard that nobles value their family status, and he is superb in alchemy, but he does not have any noble titles.Maybe Celeste won't accept him.

But this is not important, what the alchemist did gave him inspiration.He will get along with Celeste first and pursue him.But if Celeste is still unwilling to accept his pursuit, or turns to love someone else, then he will pour a bottle of love potion for Celeste himself.

But of course, it would be best if Celeste could choose him directly.

"so what?"

He continued, "What's your answer?"

Celeste is the one who is condescending and has the right to choose, but his palms are already soaked with sweat, and he curled his fingers. The experience of living in the castle for a long time made him extra shy.It was too late to say the answer.

Escrit couldn't get a response from Celeste, and couldn't help feeling a little anxious.However, in the next second, a hand tentatively grabbed his black robe.

That's the answer.Taking it for granted, Escrito pressed a kiss to the forehead of his young lover.

"I'm going to clean myself."

Escrito, who lived alone all year round, was very straightforward: "I will sleep with you at night."

Celeste was taken aback and flinched immediately: "...no way."

In his vision, he and Escrit would spend at least three months in love, exchanging love letters instead of talking.It would be another year before he and Escrito shared a bed.Sleeping together is too much right now.

Escrito obviously didn't understand Celeste's concerns, he thought Celeste had repented.This realization made him very unhappy, "Why? I want a reasonable reason."

Celeste hesitated for a while, but told Escrit his thoughts.

After Escrit finished listening, he fell into a strange silence. After a long time, he frowned: "Where did you learn this?"

Celeste made no secret of it: "Knight novels."

"……I see."

Eskrit nodded, "But I still want to sleep with you tonight."

He led Celeste upstairs, "The novels are all made up by others, not to mention whether it is me or you, we are not knights, so there is no need to be so particular about it."

Celeste still couldn't accept it, but Escrito had already gone into the bathroom.He went back to his bedroom with his hand over the deadbolt, and after five minutes he put it down.

He left his bedroom unlocked, with uneasy anticipation.

After a while, Escrit pushed the door open and entered. He was covered with steaming steam, and the smell of blood had been washed away, leaving only the smell of high-grade incense.

Wearing a nightgown, his slender body appeared gracefully at the door. He stepped into Celeste's bedroom and locked the door behind his back.

"...I still feel bad about it."

Celeste said that he was looking forward to it in his heart, but what came out of his mouth was rejection.

"I respect your opinion."

Escrit sat down by the bed and asked with a smile, "But why are we wasting time?"

Celeste thought of many reasons to refute Escrit's words, but in the end, his action was to lift his own quilt.

"What you said makes sense."

"I can't think of any reason to waste time either," Celeste said.

Escrit smiled and blew out the already faltering candle.

The next day, when Celeste was at his best, he received a wedding invitation.

Celeste was having breakfast with her older, staid lover, thinking about how to please Escrit.George Sr. delivered the wedding invitation on a silver tray.

After all, Celeste is a duke. If he decides to settle down in the royal city, then in his capacity, he will definitely gain great power.In particular, the king is now in his 40s, but still has no children, and Celeste is his nephew, who is likely to inherit the throne.

Therefore, during this period of time, he received many invitations of various kinds, but he did not participate, and he did not plan to go this time.

Just as he was about to tell old George to put it away, he caught a glimpse of the writing on the invitation.

This is a font he is familiar with.Celeste took a look at the invitation, and sure enough, it was a wedding invitation for Du Lian and the noble lady.

Celeste's mood suddenly turned bad.

Du Li'an, a despicable guy, can actually make a famous lady fall in love with him, and continue to live a life of glory and wealth through that lady.This really made Celeste unhappy.

"Well, the wedding will be in a month's time."

Escrit elegantly cut a piece of beef, "Since the invitations have been handed over, let's give them an unforgettable wedding gift."
