Heartbreaker

At the age of 16, Lemon returned to the palace.

As the prince's mentor, Luo would often go to the palace to visit him, and monitor Gerson Renther by the way.Prince Lemon, who is excellent in every aspect, has won the favor and recognition of many people, even his swordsmanship is better than his elder brother.

King Saul was keenly aware of the changes in the court situation, so he remained calm and only observed Clement's actions in secret.

When Bishop Luo Born stayed in the palace, what he did most often was to lean on the stone pillars and look at the laughing and playful noble children from afar.He saw that Lymon was surrounded by stars in the center, racing horses and hunting with boys of similar age, singing and playing the piano for the girls, like a luminous body that couldn't be moved away.

"Ro, stay with me."

However, when only the two of them were alone, Lemon would show his childish side again.He hugged him from behind, resting his head lazily on his shoulder, his strong arms wrapped tightly around his waist.

"Ro, do you like me?"

"like."

Simply unable to hide from the other party, Luo nodded and admitted.This question and answer has been repeated countless times, but Lemon couldn't hear enough, so he hugged him and shook him: "In three weeks, you must come to my coming-of-age ceremony banquet. After that, I will be able to get permission from my father." , Conducting inspections of the empire's people's sentiments."

"At that time, you will come with me."

Accompanying Lemon to visit the slums on the edge of the empire is not a difficult task, on the contrary, Luo feels very relieved.

"The current Wanjiang Empire looks like an iron wall on the outside, but inside it is full of contradictions."

Clement did not wear a crown. He wore a plain linen shirt, brown trousers, and a pair of worn leather boots. He said solemnly: "Especially the gap between the rich and the poor. The nobles oppressed the common people unscrupulously. Tragedy often occurs in some poor areas. What happened in the village. The rich ran amok, the poor were treated unfairly, but they had nowhere to complain. I made inspections so that these people could also get better treatment and..."

The prince was talking endlessly, and suddenly felt the eager eyes of the people around him, turned his head and blinked, and said with a smile: "Why do I think, you seem to love me more."

"..." Luo looked away in embarrassment.Lemon raised his legs with a smile, and quietly held the opponent's hand in his palm.

The carriage stopped a few miles away from the village. To show his sincerity, Remont led his entourage into the village on foot, only letting the relief supplies cart arrive as soon as possible.The prince and his entourage were warmly welcomed by the villagers. Instead of having a big feast, Lei Meng ate porridge and chewed vegetables with the poor, listened patiently to their complaints, and gave appropriate help.

In his spare time, he sits under a tree and plays the lyre for everyone.They walked through many villages, rescued countless victims, and at the same time warned many nobles who exploited the common people, and rectified the backwardness and corruption of several villages.

One day, when the two were sitting in the carriage, Luo asked, "What are you worrying about, Lemon?"

"I'm thinking that I have offended many powerful nobles during my trip." Lymon pondered, "Perhaps this will be detrimental to my ascension to the throne."

Luo smiled slightly: "But you have won the love of the people. Did you hear how they called you? 'Prince Tianlai'. If you can become king, they will be your most loyal supporters."

Lemon also smiled: "Yes, I am very happy."

"You don't have to worry about power disputes, you just have to do what you think is right."

Luo secretly said in his heart, I will win over reliable loyal ministers for you and pave the way for you.

At the end of the first round of inspections, they reached the last village.

"What's the matter with you, Ro?"

Sensing that the other party was in a low mood, Li Meng asked in a low voice, "Is it uncomfortable? If you are too tired, you can go back to the carriage and rest."

"It's okay, Lemon."

Luo Qiang cheered up and followed the others into the village full of gray memories.According to the usual practice, a group of people visited from house to house and listened to everyone's demands.

Luo stopped in front of a wooden house, looking at the gate with peeling wood chips and the rusted lock.Clement walked towards him, surrounded by a few villagers with lively eyes.

An old woman followed Luo's gaze, saw the dilapidated door, and interjected: "There used to be a widow and her sick child living here. Seven or eight years ago, the child died of a complete illness. The widow couldn't think about it. He also crashed to death by the well... or the corpse we collected."

Lymon sighed: "Really? This is really unfortunate..."

Luo didn't speak, he pushed the door and walked in, caressing over the crooked wooden fence and rough stone bricks.There were noisy voices outside, probably because the villagers insisted on helping the prince, but Lymon couldn't shirk it, so he asked his followers to help first.

"Ro!"

The blond prince ran in with a red face and looked at the desolate courtyard.He walked behind the other party, saw Luo staring at the scattered haystacks in a daze, and realized that something was wrong, so he couldn't help but lighten his steps.

"Ro."

He said softly, and was about to touch Luo's shoulder, but the other party took the initiative to hug him, making Prince Sol stunned.

It was rare for Clement to see such a fragile appearance of the silver-haired bishop.In his memory, Luo Boen was the representative of calmness and composure. Except when he panicked in the face of his own pursuit, the other party never showed a broken side during the rest of the time.

But now the other party was leaning in his arms, revealing the soft shellfish under the hard shell.

Does this mean that Luo has given his physical and mental trust to himself?

Lymon's heart was surging, he suppressed his excitement, hugged the other party in his arms lovingly and cherishingly, and solemnly kissed that pale forehead.

They hugged each other quietly for a while, Luo looked up at him and said, "Lymon, can you accompany me to a place?"

Clement nodded hastily, held Luo's hand tightly, and never let go.They walked to another wooden house hand in hand, and just stepped over the threshold, they were seen by the villagers who urged the prince to eat, and said: "There is no one in that house, Your Highness."

Lei Meng asked in shock, "Could it be that someone in this family died?"

"That's not true. There used to be a girl living there, and she left later." The villager said, "In three years, she went to the northern border to join the Winter Ting Army."

This time it was Luo's turn to be surprised: "Winter Ting Army?!"

"Yeah, because the girl's family was said to have been framed to death by a certain nobleman. The girl went through a lot of hardships. She wandered outside for a while, and when she came back, she would sharpen her knife at home day after day, to save her life Revenge of the parents."

Clement asked: "Which nobleman is it, do you know?"

"That's not clear, it seems to be a certain duke..." The villager scratched his head, "We only heard that when the girl went to assassinate the duke, Marshal Buckhouse happened to be a guest at the duke's mansion. He caught her Girl, listen to what the girl said."

"We don't know what happened after that. We only know that the girl followed the marshal to the north and hasn't returned for many years."

****

Knowing that Feline joined Marshal Buckhouse, Luo was surprised, but also secretly lamented the wonder of fate.

The former Feilin became Elliott's ghost, and had a deep hatred with the Winter Ting Army. Unexpectedly, in this world, she became the only female soldier in the army.

However, when he thought about it again, he felt guilty again.After all, Feline in the past was killed by the guards for her own sake, and became a pawn for Elliot's killing.He considered entrusting a letter to Marshal Dong Ting to inquire about Feilin's situation, but something happened that shook the whole country, and he had to divert his attention.

Luo will always remember the day when the ashen-faced king called him into the palace.King Saul sat on the throne blankly, with a haggard face, and said in a trance: "I...I dreamed of a dragon..."

"The dragon said, if I don't hand over my son, Airon...he will destroy my country..."

After that, natural disasters and man-made disasters happened repeatedly in the rich and peaceful Wanjiang Empire, first floods, then droughts.As a prince, Lymon was busy all day long at the gate of the city to appease the refugees in exile.

"Some say dragons will destroy the world—are the rumors true, lo?!"

It was rare for the two to be in the same room, and Luo said calmly, "Yes."

It was "Eliott".Sure enough, in this world, although he didn't target Lemon, he was still a dark cloud hanging over the heads of human beings.

Clement lost a lot of weight, and said lazily, "Continuing like this is not an option. Will the Wanjiang Empire be subject to the evil dragon on the pinnacle of ashes forever?"

Luo asked, "What do you want to do?"

Hearing his question, a smile unfolded on Clement's haggard face, and he said, "Recently, there has been a disturbance in the palace. The council debated all night about how to save the empire, and finally got an answer..."

Luo's hands trembled slightly, and he couldn't help holding his breath.

"We will fight the dragon to the end." In the silent room, Lemon said calmly, "I, Airon, and other knights will go to the northern border to join the Winter Ting army, and together we will go to the summit of embers to fight against the dragon. Dragon!"

"Oh." Luo lowered his head, and a shadow was cast over his head.Clement stared at him from above, and said in a low voice, "Are you going to be angry, Luo? I'm telling you the truth when the matter has already been decided."

Luo shook his head and said softly, "I will pray to God for you, asking for protection..."

【This is a catastrophe you cannot escape, Lemon, and it is also the reason why I want you to learn swords. 】

[There must always be an understanding between you and the dragon, and "Eliott".This time, I can't be by your side. 】

Clement laughed and said, "There's no need to pray to God, Luo." He paused and said in a hoarse voice, "Although we have the courage to win, none of us knows what the outcome will be..."

He bent down, put his arms on the armchair, and wrapped the silver-haired bishop in his arms.They stared at each other in silence, barely feeling the passage of time.

Clement approached him, his pupils sparkled with vitality, and he said with a smile, "Give me a kiss, Luo. I will slay the dragon, win everyone's cheers and admiration, and make my father have to recognize my achievements. I will save the empire from the dire straits and let everyone see what an amazing student the venerable Bishop Luo Boen has cultivated."

Luo was immersed in the other party's piercing eyes, and said softly: "Lemon..."

"This is the ambition and wish of Lemon Sol." The blond prince stared at the love in his heart, bent down, and took the long-awaited soft lips into his mouth.

"I will hold you in my arms, and I will rule the world."

****

The new wind howled, the snow was flying, and the salt-like snow particles were scattered all over the vast land.

In the icy and snowy land, a group of silver-armored rivers marched mightily from the northern border, facing the strong wind and snow, to the summit of the ember of souls where the evil dragons nest.

Before approaching the peak of the Ember of Soul, Clement had never had such a messy and vague dream.The closer the army was to the top of the mountain, the more restless he became, even more restless than Ai Rong, but it didn't show in front of everyone.

When he was disturbed by nightmares and couldn't sleep, he would put on a cotton padded coat and sit alone under the lonely moon, holding the golden ring that was given to him before he left, and kissing it on his lips.

He will always remember the scene when Luo put the ring on his finger, solemn and gentle, as if making an oath.

【I'll wait for your return, Lemon. 】

Three days later, Lei Meng led a small team to sneak into the dragon's lair first.

At first his proposal was opposed by Field Marshal Backhouse.The old marshal believed that the prince should not be allowed to undertake such a dangerous task of "detecting the enemy".But Lemon believed that his example would boost morale and make soldiers more courageous.

The two fought hard and softly for a whole day, but the old marshal was finally defeated and asked Lei Meng to sneak into the dragon's lair with more than ten elites to investigate the situation.

Including his own son, Fallows Plummer.

"Watch out."

The deep and cold female voice rang in his ears, and Lei Meng was taken aback, then avoided a pit, and thanked the woman behind him.He remembered that the strong and sharp female warrior in front of him was Feilin, the girl Luo had paid attention to.

It is also one of the best elites in the Legion.

"There is no way ahead." Fallows' astonished voice echoed deep in the cave, "We have reached the end of the cave!"

Feilin frowned and said: "Impossible, we have walked all the way, and we didn't see the shadow of the dragon at all."

Fallows said: "It's true, come and see!"

Feilin nimbly jumped over the jagged rocks and drilled deeper into the cave.Clement followed closely behind. They were stopped by the wet stone wall, and they couldn't find any exit.

Fallows said in surprise: "This is too weird, isn't the dragon on top of the ashes of the soul?"

Clement changed his mind, and suddenly said: "Too bad, maybe it's in the rear!"

A group of people hurried out of the cave and stood on the top of the mountain, when they suddenly heard the din of soldiers and horses under the mountain!They quickly ran down the mountain, and saw that the formation of the Winter Ting Army was scattered and disorganized, and had been broken by some kind of force.

Marshal Backhouse tried his best to keep everyone calm, and the horses spread out.

Clement narrowed his eyes, and caught a glimpse of a flame-like figure among the scattered soldiers and horses.The other party laughed sharply, like a devil climbing up from hell, rampaging desperately in the army.

"Airon Sol!"

The blood-red figure roared, carrying a rusted blunt knife, and rushed towards Ai Rong!Ai Rong was taken aback, immediately drew his sword to resist, and shouted angrily: "You are transformed into by an evil dragon—"

His voice stopped abruptly.Behind the blunt blade, Airon saw a familiar face and turned pale with horror.

"you--"

But for a moment, Airon Sol's chest was pierced by a blunt blade through a thick layer of armor, and a large stream of blood spattered out.Everyone screamed, Marshal Buckhouse cried out in mourning, and was about to rush forward with a sword, but a figure crossed the vast white snow faster than him, and flew behind the ghost-like blood shadow!

"You killed the prince of the Wanjiang Empire!" Clement roared with red eyes, "I want you to pay for it—"

Before the blade fell, there was a clang, and when it touched the blunt blade, silver light splashed out.The blond-haired Lemon Sol stared wide-eyed, seeing the man's messy red hair, worn black cloak, thin pale cheeks, and a fiery figure.

"Lymon Sol..."

The red-haired boy slowly turned his head and looked at him, the ferocious corners of his mouth gradually calmed down, and he grinned sadly.Seeing the face that was exactly the same as his own, Clement was horrified, took a few steps back, and almost fell to the ground.

The soldiers shouted and slashed around the blood shadow, but it was like exerting force against the air, it was useless at all.

Surprisingly, after seeing Lemon, the blood shadow also fell silent.He approached the dazed blond boy step by step, raised his hand, and stared at the golden ring on his finger, his eyes revealed deep obsession and nostalgia.

"This ring..."

The red-haired blood shadow stared at the smooth ring raptly, and murmured to himself, two lines of bloody tears dripped from his bloodshot eyes.

Clement stared at his bleeding eye sockets, and suddenly felt that his own eyes were also in pain.

"Luo..." The red-haired boy looked at the stunned blond boy, and forced out an ugly smile, his voice was hoarse and ugly, "Is he okay..."

"Damn dragon..." the blond boy muttered to himself, came back to his senses, gripped the sword tightly, and sneered, "Do you think you can confuse me by changing into my appearance?! Despicable monster, disappear! "

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The red-haired boy looked at him mockingly and sadly, catching the blow without moving.

At that moment, the blood shadow suddenly turned into a blood mist, diffused, penetrated into the blond boy's nose and mouth, and the blood went straight to the brain along the meridians!

"Ahhhhh!!"

The world was spinning, and Lei Meng hugged his swollen head, his eyes turned black, as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning, and a large piece of crazy memory flooded into his mind, almost bursting his brain!

...I am Lymon Bonespur...

...damn... I don't have love!Did you hear that? ! ...

...Honor, decency, dignity?They don't belong to my kind of guy...

...Heh, everyone else is looking for life, only I am looking for death...

Blood gushed out of his mouth and nose, the blond boy was panting, and he heard the screams of others in the dimness.As soon as his body lightened, he was lifted up by other soldiers, and he was sent to nowhere.

The flames that were more dazzling than blood covered his body, and at the end of his memory, he saw the silver-haired man leaning over in front of the dying red-haired man, kissing the shattered wreckage with tears streaming down his face.

——Since we cannot go to life together, then we will go to death together.

— Lemon.

The author has something to say: In fact, what does "dragon" refer to and which world is real are also very interesting questions. . . (Laughing at the idealistic aunt)_(:D」∠)

Procrastinating and procrastinating, there is still a chapter to finish this part

Pray for two more chapters to end (bark woof)
