Chapter 43: Chapter 4
"Are you okay?" Ah Zhai originally planned to go directly to the black cat, but when he ran into the wrong daughter-in-law (not) and his mother-in-law (actually his brother), he felt that he had the obligation and responsibility to adjust the relationship between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which was known as one of the problems of the ages.
“…… Never mind. Rey hung his head slightly, and the red five-finger prints on his fair face looked very hideous and terrifying, and it could be seen that there was no room for the attack.
"I'm sorry." Although he knew that Rey was not a good stubble even if he had amnesia, at this moment Ah Zhai still felt a slight heartache, if he hadn't intervened himself, the person in front of him would be one of the best pirates in the pirates even if he had amnesia, instead of being imprisoned with wings like in front of him and relying on himself to live.
"I'm really fine." The room was lit with white candles the size of a baby's arm, lighting up the whole room as if it were day, so Rey could clearly see the loss and sadness in the young man's eyes, although he didn't understand why, but he found that he was reluctant to make the little earl sad at all, so even if it was a harmless joke with Siegel before, he was unwilling to go according to the original plan, and the person in front of him seemed to have an innate ability to make people willing to pay a smile just for him.
"I'm the one who should say I'm sorry." Ah Zhai blinked suddenly, and there was some apprehension and excitement in his tone, "I think I thought of a way to announce our relationship, even though it wasn't a wedding." ”
“…… You know I don't care. Rey suddenly felt his heart beating like thunder, and the person in front of him looked at him intently and affectionately, as if he was his whole world, he believed that no man could refuse such a lover's eyes, and the next moment he stepped forward and kissed each other's luscious lips fiercely without hurting the wound on Ah Zhai's hand.
Who said that when you want to love, just a kiss is enough to make people confused, separated from Rey's arms, Ah Zhai looked firmly at the young man who was much taller than himself: "No matter you...... I want to introduce you to everyone! ”
"......" Rey was really surprised, he didn't lose his memory from the beginning, he just felt funny and wary of the little earl's straightforward declaration that he was his lover, before he was Caroline's tutor, although he didn't have direct contact with the little earl, but he still learned from the messages in high society that the little earl fell in love with the down-and-out Duke of York's palm pearl at first sight, and so at first he regarded all his actions as a competition of acting, What's more, the powerful little earl lies under him, blooming with a unique charm, as a pirate who pursues excitement and risk in his bones, he never denies the secret joy and desire to conquer in his heart.
However, after a long time, he had learned that he could see and see people's hearts more than the little earl, and with that came confusion and doubt, the little count was undoubtedly in love with him, and he even knew some of his preferences that he had not even noticed before, but he was sure that they had not met and communicated before this, and for a moment he even thought that if he were a devout believer, he would have to believe that he and the little count were lovers in the world, and they must have loved each other in their previous lives.
But the experience of living and dying together a few days ago had made him give up on getting to the bottom of it, and in any case, the little earl's eyes were full of pretending to be himself, so why should he care too much about it. It's just that when the person in front of him told him that he wanted to announce their relationship to the whole world, Rey felt that his heart as hard as iron seemed to be soaking in a hot spring at this moment, giving birth to a kind of warmth from the inside out, which made him can't help but indulge in it.
"Edward, join my team of knights!" The little earl looked up at his lover intently, he didn't want to protect this person under his wings, but was willing to give him a chance to spread his wings and fly high in the aristocracy, although he knew that his lover might not need it, but emotion always went one step ahead of reason, and he wanted to be good to the person in front of him from the bottom of his heart.
"Do you know what you're talking about?" Rey slowly helped the little count to sit down on the bed, and he slowly crouched down and looked directly into his lover's dark eyes like night.
Knights are not uncommon in today's gradual rise of merchants, but there are still the most traditional knight schools in the territory of the Duke of Rose, they preach the ancient spirit of chivalry, and the soldiers in the territory are gradually replaced by the emerging infantry and cavalry, as the most powerful and only two people left in the Rose family, there are still knight guards around them, and all of them can enter the knights without exception are the best and most loyal soldiers, especially the knights, In many cases, it is even possible to give orders on behalf of the owner in his absence, sharing most of the owner's rights. And Rey believes that once he enters the knights of the Little Earl, the vacant knight captain must be in his hands.
"You're my lover, my partner, what reason do I have not to trust you?" Ah Zhai smiled gently, and raised his hand with difficulty to touch his lover's face, but there was a bit of sadness in his tone that he couldn't even detect, he didn't have much hope that they would be able to stay together for a long time, not to mention that he was afraid that the pirate stronghold in the Patilos Islands and the entire Rose Territory would also be wiped out under the thunderous blows of himself and his brother, would the people in front of him forgive himself at that time?
When he heard that his brother was going to hold a ball and that his dance partner chose Rey, Siegel felt that he should scold the father who had only bones left in the grave for a hundred years, is it because his brother also inherited the unreliable character of that person to come up with such an unreliable idea, although the church is in decline now, it does not mean that they will not jump out to brush up and save a sense of zài, especially now that there are many big nobles in decline, and the Rose family is thriving.
"Brother, you know I don't want him to follow me like this, even if it's just for a day." After Shun Lì stuffed Rey into the Cavaliers and promoted him to the rank of Knight Chief within a week, Otaku would use his training time to have a remote communication with Black Cat every day, and the result was that the woman named Yvette actually got the news of the Pattilos Islands being destroyed in advance, and asked around about Rey's whereabouts.
“…… You're not going to block messages? Siegel frowned, numb, is the younger brother who fell in love so stupid and swollen?
"There is no impermeable wall in this world, and since I decided to do so, I naturally won't regret it." The injury on the arm heals very slowly in this world without antibiotics, and even leaves a slight disability, but Ah Zhai doesn't really care very much, one is that this body is useless after this world, and the other is that he is not one of those people who can't endure hardship and fatigue, since he chose to do this in the first place, he naturally has to pay the price for his choice.
"But you know that once he knows the truth, there will be no turning between you." Siegel looked stern, and he suddenly realized that the person in front of him may have considered that he would be tempted by Rey at the beginning, and even considering Rey's reaction to knowing the truth, and more likely the unresolved ending between them, "Did you not think about going with him in the first place?" ”
"Brother, it's not like you can be together if you love each other." Ah Zhai suddenly smiled, his eyes were a little dazed, when he separated from Gu Yize in the first life, he was thinking that he was still too cowardly after all, and he never dared to give his partner more confidence; So in the second life, when he found out that he liked Yu Wenyi, he decisively faced up to his feelings, but they were once so happy but finally separated, and at that time he began to wonder if he really had no fate with that person; When he met Tang Biyi in the third world, he suddenly found that he was hesitant to even try, and he had just made up his mind to grab that person's hand again, but what was waiting for them was still separation, if they didn't have fate, why did they meet again and again, if they had fate, why couldn't they be separated every time.
"Is it because of the influence of the old man that you have always had a pessimistic attitude towards love, or Caroline ......" In a sense, Siegel is also a good hand at self-deception.
"Brother, I'm not a fragile glass doll, I'm a soldier, a soldier with pirate blood on my hands, do you think I will shake my principles because of my feelings?" Ah Zhai looked at his brother who was unwilling to face the reality with a bit of a headache, "The fact is that you want to dodge, I designed the ending from the beginning, and the ending of your life and death ......"
"Then why did you leave him the position of Knight Chief, and once he drew his sword against you, did you not want to live so much?" The smile on Siegel's face disappeared, he looked at the young man in front of him in a daze, and suddenly felt that he was such a stranger, so simply indifferent to his own life and death, was he still the soft and glutinous brother before? For a moment, he blamed himself and felt sad almost to let this resolute and smiling man get into the horns, he regretted it incomparably, if he didn't let Jin participate in it when he first took over the rights in his father's hands, wouldn't his younger brother be disappointed in love?
"Brother." Although the person in front of him didn't say it, Ah Zhai was still keenly aware of Seagal's thoughts, and the joy and sadness churning in his heart almost made him choke, "Don't blame yourself, please don't be sad, it's not because of my father or because of your relationship, it's just a path that fate has arranged for me to stick to." ”
