The Duke in the Spire of Thorns

This topic ends here.

Escrit was reluctant to reveal more.In front of Celeste, he absolutely refused to discuss the two major issues of "fading" and "age".He remained silent, and Celeste could only guess wildly.

The originally tense atmosphere between the two has also eased a lot.

Celeste had been sitting on the sofa tremblingly waiting to be dealt with, fearing that Escrit would kick him out because of his hypocrisy, so they sat on both sides of the sofa, looking at each other silently.

Finally, Escrito moved first, and he silently prepared lunch for Celeste. Celeste ate his lunch as usual, but the difference was that he ate in a more elegant manner. a lot of.

In fact, although Celeste doesn't like Escrit as much as he imagined, he is unwilling to break up.He has "loved" him for so many years, and it is really hard to let go.

He decided to formally pursue Escrit, put his mentality in order, and stop demanding Escrit with the standards he imagined.If he succeeds, then this slightly deformed relationship will turn into a healthy relationship, if he fails... Celeste refuses to think about this possibility, he does not believe that he will fail.

That night, Celeste stayed up all night. He wrote a pursuit plan on a blank letter paper and prepared to act according to the plan.

Although he doesn't really love painting, he has been an artist for so many years anyway, and he has been with those real artists for a long time, so there is no shortage of romantic means.He planned to start by sending flowers, accompanied by sincere love letters.

Since that time, the relationship between the two of them has been a little salty, they seldom speak, and they are very polite.But Escrito never mentioned the matter of driving Celeste away, and the daily care was still in place, and Celeste was unwilling to leave.The two are like roommates who have just moved into the same house.

Compared with the affectionate feeling when we first met, Celeste's current treatment has dropped a lot, but this gave him a sense of solidity, he is no longer a liar who deceived himself.

Celeste fell in love with a painting, and her love was naturally superficial.But Escrit is different from him, he is facing a living person, every move of Celeste falls into his eyes, the passionate letters, the overwhelming Infatuation, this boy's incomparably fanatical love successfully captured him.But what he didn't expect was that such a moving love was so superficial!

At the moment when Celeste confessed, Escrit almost couldn't control the tyranny in his heart. He was already in love, and he couldn't bear the other party's flirtatious withdrawal.

Celeste's subsequent words calmed him down a little. He decided to observe for a while. It would be great if Celeste could do what he said, but if he didn't...

·

Celeste's pursuit plan is officially launched.

He abandoned his inner fantasies and began to really watch Escrit, observing his preferences, his character, and even his little movements.

Escrit is steady and powerful, but he's paranoid.He is used to painting in the studio in the afternoon, and the objects he paints are sometimes landscapes and sometimes portraits, without any regularity.He doesn't like to be disturbed when he paints.But if Celeste came in, he was very conniving.

Celeste was flattered by this.

He wants to observe, and Escrit cooperates with him. He no longer pretends to be perfect, he shows his advantages, and at the same time, he does not hesitate to let Hilles know his shortcomings. He can feel Hilles He was very serious, and expectations gradually rose in his heart.

Gradually, Escrito's image in Hilleste's mind gradually became more three-dimensional, and he became a man of flesh and blood.

He is not a perfect person, he also has shortcomings, but Celeste finds that he doesn't care about these.

As time went by, Celeste got to know Escrito better, and his superficial love gradually deepened.Only when he was sure that he was no longer a liar, but really fell in love with Escrit, did he dare to pursue him.

He is very good at pleasing people as long as he wants to.He no longer stayed in bed in the morning, but went to the garden every morning to pick the brightest flower, and gave it to Escrite before the dew on the petals evaporated.

"Are you picking my flowers and giving them to me? Well, not bad."

After receiving the flowers, Escrit put the flowers into the vase with a smile. Celeste was a little embarrassed. He shrugged and said sweetly: "In this world, only the flowers in your manor are the most beautiful. I just want the best for you."

Escrit scratched the tip of his nose and snorted.

Celeste began to learn how to be a qualified lover, learn to restrain his temper, and get along with Escrites. Although Escrites was more tolerant of him, he no longer guarded himself blindly. fantasy enjoyment.

He started to write love letters to Escrit again, and unlike the previous pouring out of love, this time the love letters were much more real.Celeste observes Escrit's preferences, pays attention to his habits, and thinks about the future between them. This kind of love letter is much more real than the previous love letter full of love but empty.

He would write more than a dozen love letters every night and hide them in various corners that Escrit often touched. Some were long, some were short, and the long ones could have several pages, and the envelopes were bulging.The short ones are only a few sentences, which can be read at a glance.

[I don’t like croissants, but I know you like them. You make me pudding every time, but I know you don’t like puddings. I’m already learning how to make croissants. You do it like you make pudding for me every day]

【Honey, the way you sit in front of the easel fascinates me. I never thought that there are people as charming as you in the world. 】

[I used to like rainy days very much, because the gloomy sky looks very poetic, but after meeting you, I found that rainy days no longer attract me, water will hurt you, dear, so I started to hate rainy days, I hope that in the future Every day is sunny. 】

After reading it, Escrito put away all these letters, and his attitude gradually softened. Sometimes Celeste even managed to steal a kiss from him.

It gave him the motivation to keep going, and he racked his brains, scratched his head, and tried to do better.

Escrito had fallen in love with him at first, but now that he was being courted and pursued by him, his vigilance gradually dropped. His behavior showed some clues, which was discovered by Celeste.

The place where they are now is not the real Devine Manor, but the "Devine Manor" painted by Escrit. Escrit is still painting, and he is trying to use paintings to construct an illusory world that is false and real , thus completely controlling Celeste in the palm of his hand.

Celeste found this out.

If it was the beginning, he would feel fear and anger, but now, he already knew Escrit's character very well, so he wasn't too surprised.

When he decided to pursue Escrit, he thought that according to Escrit's character, he would not let himself die or leave like this, and he would try his best to keep himself by his side.

Obviously, this is his "method".

He considered it, and he accepted it.

"We need to talk," he said to Escrit, who tensed his jaw before nodding.

They were sitting facing each other in the living room, Escrit was expressionless, his hands unconsciously resting on the table, tapping his fingertips lightly, based on Celeste's understanding of him, he knew that Escrit was nervous.

"I don't want to blame you." Celeste spoke first, his tone brisk: "When I decided to pursue you, I thought you might do this, and I have no objection."

"For me, there is nothing wrong with living in a painting, but, my dear, there are still things I can't let go of in real life. I have to take care of my relatives, and I still need to connect with the real world."

The direction of such a peaceful conversation was completely different from what Escrit had expected, his face relaxed slightly, and he was no longer so tense, "So, what do you want to do?"

"Come on step by step." Celeste thought for a moment and said, "I'll take you to meet my family first? Are you willing to go?"

"...I don't think they want to see me." Escrit replied a little stiffly, "That George was very hostile to me before."

"They're not going to believe I'm 'Escrit', they're going to think I'm a liar, like that George."

—and ordered you to leave me.

He couldn't accept this, so he was very eager to paint, otherwise Celeste wouldn't have a chance to find out.

"Is this a problem?" Celeste laughed, "I've thought about it a long time ago."

He approached Escrites enthusiastically, "Let's say this, you are the son of Escrites. After hearing that your father's property fell into my hands, you came to look for me, hoping to redeem your father's inheritance from me." Go back. But the bad thing is, I fell in love with your father and didn't agree at all, and because you look like your father, I have a new idea..."

Celeste has already made up a very dramatic story: "...Later, I found out that I fell in love with you, and you refused to accept it at first, but I have a high status, so you have to start from..."

He was about to fall in love with the story he had made up, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Escrit eagerly, "What do you think?"

Escrit was silent for a while, then said, "I... have no objection."

Celeste smiled: "I knew it! I have already written the script! I have been preparing for a long time, this is definitely a perfect story!"

He muttered: "Maybe my talent is actually to be a playwright..."

What was supposed to be a tense confrontation turned into a discussion on how to muddle through in front of Celeste's family.

Escrit decided to give up his idea and planned to burn everything he had drawn

——Compared to being imprisoned in a lifeless painting, Celeste is still more suitable for a living world, and he is reluctant to lock Celeste in.

"...By the way, let's go buy a camera."

Celeste still said enthusiastically: "Then we will travel, and wherever we go, we will take pictures of the scenery, and then you draw them, and I will be your assistant." He said happily: " In this way, slowly, the two of us will have a whole world!"

"Imagine a world that only belongs to us! How wonderful!"

He blinked at Escrit: "Then we both stayed inside and never came out again."

Escrito's fingers were slightly bent, and he finally couldn't help stroking the top of Celeste's hair: "Okay."

Really good, he thought—

Incorporating his soul into the painting back then was probably the most correct and sweetest decision he had ever made in his life.

The author has something to say: The second episode is over!I don't know if there is a third episode, maybe there is not, or there may be... If the scumbag author doesn't squeeze out the third episode, then I guess this is the end_(:зゝ∠)_
