Chapter Thirty-Nine: Is the King Lonely?
"To be honest, it's pretty stupid. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoNo, stupid to be exact!" Charlotte replied earnestly staring at Zoe's pale golden pupils, "but I can understand you." Maybe that's because we're all fools who know we can't do it!"
Zoe smiled.
That smile is the simple joy of a lonely pilgrim when he meets his companion, and it is a peaceful smile that I am not lonely.
He said, "I think I finally understand why I'm telling you this in that false plane." ā
"That's because you wanted to help me regain my faith. Charlotte hesitated for a moment and replied.
There are many ways to regain confidence. Zoe replied earnestly, "So I think the real reason is because I realized at that time that you might be the same kind of person as me." ā
Charlotte thought for a moment and asked, "Doesn't that sound like many people know about Bonnie?"
"Very little!" Zoe nodded affirmatively, "I'm afraid I'm only two left." If only one of them could be called a human being. (alluding to Yvette)
"Then I'm honored!" Charlotte bowed exaggeratedly.
"I'm deeply pleased!" said Zoe, who also bowed gracefully.
At the end of the ceremony, pilgrims of different identities looked at each other and smiled.
"You know what, Charlotte. In my opinion, you are much more interesting than your brother, because you are more real than him. Although, for now, his chances of ascending to the throne are far greater than yours. ā
Charlotte looked stunned, but Zoe continued as if she hadn't seen it.
"I can vaguely sense what you're chasing, though I don't necessarily agree!" he held out his hand to Charlotte again, "but whatever you want to chase, how difficult it is. I still wish you all the best if you find what you really want and have a wonderful journey. ā
"Thank you, Zoe. The same blessing to you!" Charlotte shook Zoe's hand, "Are you going to leave?"
Zoe smiled and nodded, "yes, good times are always short-lived. Although I would also like to continue the night conversation with you, I still have to spare me! I don't want to endure the ice blue eyes like a light on my back in a pleasant conversation. ā
Charlotte was stunned as he saw Zoe wink at him.
"I hope you don't blame me for my rudeness, but in any case, I rejoice in having such a confidant as you. Zoe seemed to have something to say, "Maybe one day, I'll ask you how to get along with a cold woman, but obviously today is not the time." ā
With that, Zoe waved goodbye to a stunned Charlotte.
His pace seemed slow and fast, and soon, only a faint black shadow remained in the dim underworld.
His voice was ethereal, coming from far away.
"One last question. The shadow stopped, "I ask you, Charlotte. Is the king lonely?"
Charlotte frowned, he didn't know what kind of answer Zoe was getting.
But in the end, he decided to follow his heart and answer, "The king should listen to the voice of the people, so the king should not be alone!"
The shadow turned around.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but in the movie, Zoe's expression is very complicated, and she doesn't seem to agree with Charlotte's answer.
But soon, a chuckle came from afar, "Do you think so? We're the same kind of people, Charlotte......"
Charlotte didn't say a word, watching Zoe's dark shadow turn into a black dot and then disappear.
Behind him, there was a crisp sound of footsteps in the distance. The pace wasn't as resolute as it used to be, but Charlotte could guess who it was.
A damp wind came from the deep pool, and Charlotte stood in front of the cobblestone, the man behind her. The two of them, who didn't know how to speak because of tonight's events, were silent for a long time.
After a long time, a hesitant voice came from behind him.
"Just ...... Is it Zoe?"
Once the silence was broken, the awkward atmosphere was about to be swept away.
Charlotte felt that he had to face the restless girl in the same way, so she shrugged her shoulders lightly and made a splash with the stone.
"That's right!
Behind him, Sylvia's ice-blue eyes eased her uneasiness, "What is he looking for you for?"
"I don't think he came to me, we just happened to meet by chance. Charlotte looked back and smiled casually, "I talked to him for a while and talked about something. Although I had a lot of fun with him, I was haunted by the fact that I couldn't get along with him. ā
But Charlotte didn't see a smile in Sylvia's eyes.
"I don't think a root king would happen to meet you by chance and waste precious time talking to you. Sylvia walked over to the cobblestone, her eyes less restless and replaced by wariness.
"Why not, a top legend can waste precious time traveling with me everywhere!" Charlotte regretted her tone.
Sylvia hung her head.
"I'm sorry!" Charlotte realized she had messed up again, "I mean, I'm sorry!"
Sylvia shook her head, "What did he say to you?"
Charlotte tried her best to restrain the unhappiness in her heart, but her tone was still full of impatience, "He talked to me about our dreams and so on, and by the way, I wish me a wonderful journey!"
āā¦ā¦ Anything else?" said Sylvia.
"He also said he was happy to have a friend like me!" Charlotte was about to lose her patience.
Sylvia hesitated for a moment, "...... What else?"
"And ......!" Charlotte took a deep breath to avoid making a mess of everything, "Well! I'll admit that he knew about me and Aven, he met Edwin in the fire elemental realm and learned about us from there, so he was curious...... Okay! Maybe you're right, he really came to me on purpose, but he didn't mean anything to me! Otherwise, I would have been forced to reset the plane. ā
"Just because he has no ill will towards you now doesn't mean he doesn't have any thoughts about you. Sylvia was a little anxious, "Wait, you just mentioned that he met Edwin in the Fire Elemental Realm?
Charlotte understood what Sylvia meant, and he felt the need to argue for his best friend, whom he met again, and he replied word for word, "He didn't mean to mention it." ā
Sylvia stared at Charlotte's ice-blue eyes seriously and worriedly, "Do you still think he sees you as a best friend?"
"Or else?" Charlotte felt for the first time that Sylvia was a little too lenient, "you think he's putting on a show, and what's in it for him?"
Sylvia was silent for a moment, then slowly shook her head, "I don't know. But I think you still have to be wary of him, it's a very momentary time, because ......"
"Winter is coming!" Charlotte interrupted Sylvia irritably, "You've said it many times! Why can't my sister trust my judgment? I think he genuinely regards me as a friend, and I can understand his feelings!"
"Because ......" Sylvia hesitated for a long time, her usual sanity clashing with her newborn emotions in her mind.
In the next second, she spoke her judgment according to reason, not emotion, "because I don't think the lion will be friends with the flock......"
In an instant, Charlotte's pride and inferiority complex hidden deep in her heart completely exploded!
He threw all the stones in his hand into the deep pool, and the stones still made a messy popping sound.
"What about us?" asked Charlotte, his voice very low, like the menace of a wounded beast, "you just put you in the position of protector high above, right?!So that's why you ran away in a panic when I touched your secret, right?!That's why you don't want to open up to me, right?!
"I've told you everything I have!" "You enjoy the feeling of being on top!?In your heart, we're not on an equal footing, are we!?"
Sylvia's eyes trembled slightly, the corners of her lips trembled, and she felt as if she had lost her voice and could not utter a single syllable. In the darkness, Sylvia's fair and flawless face was sickly pale at the moment.
"Sorry, sorry! Something is wrong with my emotions, I'm sorry......"
Charlotte finally realized what a stupid thing he had done, and he lowered his head and turned sadly to flee the Lake District.
By the dark depths of the pool, Sylvia stood like a soulless puppet by the cobblestone. For a long time, she covered her heart, bent down slightly, frowned and bit her lip, revealing a sad expression of heartache.
"Sylvia, you...... I don't understand people's hearts!"
She murmured, uttering the bitter accusation of Emmanuel.
