There was not a trace of light in the dim house, completely isolating the winter scenery outside the window, and even the heat was a little unbearable, only a faint breath could be heard, and it stopped from time to time, and when it was heard again, I couldn't help but take a deep breath with another suppressed breath.

The door was pushed open, and the maid Livia came in with a hot towel, and carefully wiped the hands and feet of the person lying on the bed, seeing the gray-faced young man guarding the bed, he was still a little unbearable, "Miss Loris won't wake up so soon, you are here to guard, you might as well go back and rest." ”

Albert shook his head silently, and after spitting out a few broken syllables at the beginning, his voice, which he hadn't used for a long time, regained his tone, "She won't eat anything, she'll be hungry." ”

He always remembered the taste of hunger before, the burning pain of his empty stomach, screwed together to death, and when he was really hungry, he really wanted to chew and swallow himself.

The maid stiffened when she went out, and when she spoke again, she couldn't hide her hoarseness, "I can't help it when I'm hungry, I've tried to feed her something to eat before, but Miss Cloriss can't swallow it at all," she opened the door, and when she turned around and closed the door, she looked at the young man who had been by the bedside since she came back, and sighed and didn't persuade again.

Anyway, he didn't live up to what Miss Loris had done for him.

The room fell silent again, and Albert looked up at his wrist, the mottled bites on it were so frequent that even his recovery still left traces to this day.

He stared at it for a moment, and after thinking about it, he bit his index finger and squeezed out drops of blood to the unconscious person's mouth, squeezed open her lips, and poked his fingers in.

"You won't be hungry if you drink a little, you drink a little."

He whispered as he persisted in squeezing the drops of blood into her mouth, wondering if she had actually drunk it, but the color of her lips, which were so light that they almost became one with her pale face, was moistened by his blood into a deep red and purple color.

He waited for a long time, but the person in the bed remained motionless, and even when the night came again, the condition worsened, with a burning temperature on his forehead, and his breathing was intermittent, as if he was about to lose at any moment.

The doctor who was called in a hurry checked it, shook his head and couldn't say anything, and was pulled outside by the head maid with tears on his face, and begged him to prescribe some medicine in a stack.

There were only two people left in the dimly lit room again, as quiet as if there were no living people.

"Hey," the cold, hoarse, boy's voice suddenly rang out in the room, and he sat directly on the carpet next to the bed, his hand reaching into the quilt and holding the other hand to feel the almost indefinite pulse, "Is there any way you can save her." ”

Albert lay on the side of the bed, counting the breaths of the man on the bed with his eyes closed, and when he counted to three, he heard her breathing stagnant again, and felt that everything that was beating in his chest had lost his strength, and he could only hold his breath with her.

After a few days of sleepless sleep, even he couldn't stand it, not to mention that his mood was still rising and falling, and he couldn't stop worrying, "You have a way to save her, right?" You save her. ”

Hearing his question again, I was so frightened that I huddled in the corner and was quiet for several days before I realized that he was talking to myself, and immediately jumped out of the corner where I was hiding.

"Of course there is a way, the demon king is omnipotent, as long as you really become a demon, you will become a demon king, and saving a person is not a matter of moving your fingers......"

His voice grew lower and lower, fearing that his overly joyful tone had annoyed the man with a low aura, and that he had been tortured several more times before before he simply stopped talking, and floated in fear waiting to fall.

Once again, the room was filled with a dead silence that almost burst into the air.

"It's okay to become a demon king," the young man's voice was so flat that he couldn't hear a trace of ups and downs, as if he hadn't made a serious decision, "Then become a demon king." ”

Albert looked at the person lying on the bed, took her hand and put it to his lips and touched it gently, "As long as I can save you, it doesn't matter if it's a demon king or not." ”

As soon as his words fell, a thick demonic aura instantly poured out of the room, and it continued to rotate and gather in the room in a dark and heavy manner, and the richest part of the top layer had turned dark purple and almost black, as if they had their own consciousness, and they gathered towards the kneeling people on the ground.

"Albert."

The voice, so low that it was almost ignored, seemed to knock on the eardrum in the silence of the room.

The gathered demonic qi was immediately blocked, struggling and writhing at the top of the room, but it seemed to be strangled by an inexplicable force, and everything it did was in vain.

Albert wanted to squeeze the temperature in his hand hard, but he didn't dare to make any extra movements, trembling and holding it to the side of his face, even choking with a voice, "I'm here." ”

Jing glanced at the breath floating above the room, the seemingly living gases were still struggling, and there was even a hint of hostility towards her.

Her gaze was elsewhere, and the young man, who had lost all patience in waiting, became more and more dissatisfied, frowning and increasing the restraint on those obstructive things, eager to completely suppress them from the room, and at the same time tugging at her hand that was still held in his hand, with a little grievance.

"I'm here, look here."

Jing turned to look at him, and only after making sure that there was nothing unusual about those dark black eyes did he breathe a sigh of relief, sipping the residual smell of blood in his mouth, and pulling the corners of his mouth to smile at him, "I know you're here." ”

She reached out and touched the corners of his blue-black eyes, "I know you've been with me, and I'm glad." The blood he fed burned all the way down her esophagus, and the unbearable pain regained her residual consciousness, and after realizing that the breath around her was wrong, she was able to wake her up from her coma in time.

"Albert," she said with the boy's hand over her face, and looked at him with a soothing expression, "I hope you will always be with me like this, and not become like you." ”

"Will you promise me?"

Albert nodded without hesitation, "I promise you, I promise you everything." There was still a fear in his voice that couldn't be concealed, "Don't sleep anymore, I'm really afraid." ”

The boy who almost became the demon king got up and buried his head beside her pillow, his buzzing voice was like a frightened little beast, and he just revealed his fear when he returned to the warm and safe lair, "I thought you would never wake up." ”

Jing smiled and touched his head, "If you want to accompany me, of course I will accompany you." ”

The news that Miss Clois had almost died, but miraculously awakened, soon spread throughout the manor, and Duke Tabrice, who had rushed back from the imperial capital in a hurry, got out of the carriage and was exaggerated with great relief when he got the news.

The young man who followed him also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and smiled and congratulated the duke, "Miss Loris is indeed a blessed person. ”

The Duke smiled and led him into the manor, "Maybe it's the blessing brought by Colonel Gekya, in the past, Loris had to sleep all winter, and you didn't talk very happily before, maybe it will be even more blessed to be together in the future." ”

There were no longer a few maids who had come to greet the Duke, and the maids, who had been relieved by the good news that Miss Loris had awakened, immediately spread the word about this new gossip.

"You know what? The Duke brought a young man, who said he was a colonel of the Gquea family, and he thought of marrying Miss Glories to the colonel. ”

"But isn't it, speaking of this Colonel Gekeya, the involvement between him and Miss Cloelis is not shallow, during the autumn banquet before, wasn't there a young master Gekya who disappeared from us, at that time, Count Gekeya forced to ask the emperor's majesty, or this colonel came out to play the round, saying that the young master, that is, his younger brother, said before that he wanted to go to sea to see, maybe he ran to sea."

"It turns out that this one is also from the Gqueya family, and that and Miss Loris are really close to each other......"

A few maids gossiped away, and the young man who came in through the side door walked in slowly, with a strange silence in his dark black eyes, looking thoughtfully in the direction in which the maids left.

"Another Gkoya."

The young man with black hair and black eyes laughed loudly, reached out and pressed the horn that had just retracted on the top of his head, "It's really positive." ”

"That's it," the voice hidden in his sea of knowledge became more and more flattering, "The previous demonic energy is so strong, you have also absorbed a lot, and the demonic nature is almost excited, or you will simply become a demon, it will be a matter of one thought for you, and there are many benefits of becoming a demon king, at least the girl upstairs will be yours......"

As he spoke, the boy lifted his feet up the stairs, and when he turned to the familiar doorway, he heard the sound inside.

“…… Cloris, that Colonel Gokia is really good, didn't you talk to him last time? It happens that the age is also relative, how suitable it is to be together, even His Majesty Xià thinks it is good, it is better than the kid you found before, I don't know what his background is, and he is an orphan, without any title and property, and no one can rely on you if you are bullied in the future......"

Albert's outstretched hand paused, and he turned back to his room.

His room was connected to a terrace, so that the sun was warm until the sun went down, and it was very different from that of the owner of the room.

The dark-haired boy habitually walked to the darkest corner of the room, sat on the floor and thought about what he had just heard, no birth, no orphan, no title or property...... It turned out that even if he learned to be like her, he was not qualified to stand by her side.

But what to do, he had already eaten what she had given him, and he didn't want to give it back at all.

"Then become the Demon King," Albert decided again lightly, "the Demon King, there should be a lot of property, and there will be a knighthood, at least to protect her when she is bullied." ”

He looked at the purple qi that had gathered again in the room, reached out and touched the horns that had emerged again, and muttered, "I want to be by her side, forever." ”

As long as I can do that.

It doesn't matter what else does.

“…… Even His Majesty has promised not to interfere in my marriage, is my father going back on his word? And about that kid, I also explained to you that he didn't have any problems......"

Jing Hao was talking to the Duke who was repeating the same old tune again, and suddenly she felt a familiar feeling, just like the one who woke her from her slumber before, and even the power contained in it was deeper and more powerful, and it was suppressed all around.

Albert!

She immediately lifted the quilt and ran out of bed before she even had time to put on her shoes, but the moment she opened the door, she bumped into the person standing at the door, and her forehead hit the bridge of the young man's nose.

"Albert," she looked anxiously at the boy to make sure there was nothing wrong with him, "what were you just doing?" Nothing happened, did it? ”

The young man reached out to help her gently rub her forehead, and his dark black eyes hid the same deep and shallow softness as when he usually faced her, "I'm fine, I'm just a little hungry, I went to the kitchen to eat something." ”

He looked down at her shoesless feet, frowned and bent down to take the person into his arms, ignoring the Duke who was already a little unable to support his chin, and gently put the person on the bed, and thoughtfully pulled the quilt, "It's still winter, don't freeze." ”

Jing Hao carefully grabbed his hand and looked at him for a while, and only after making sure that there was nothing unusual was completely relieved, the strength that was already somewhat strong was almost unloaded, and the familiar feeling of weakness hit again, surrounding her and rolling her back to sleep.

She held her eyelids and held his hand that had not yet been withdrawn, "Don't go, here it is." ”

Just by her side, she can rest assured.

Albert had just answered, and the person who couldn't support it had already fallen into a complete coma.

"I thought that Loris went to great lengths to prevent us from interfering in her marriage and investigating what you were for, but it turned out that she had already secretly promised you kid."

The wide-hearted Duke finally let go of the worry that "the only daughter may not want to marry", patted the shoulder of the young man sitting on the edge of the bed, and left a sentence with emotion, "But I still won't let my dear Glories marry a stinky boy who has nothing, you'd better find a way to do something to make me nod." ”

After laying out the genealogy of his future father-in-law, the Duke who was tired by the carriage no longer left an eyesore, and left room for his feelings and interests.

Hey, before Gloris, she was obviously a little doll who could only spit bubbles.

Looking at these young people, I can't help but think of when he was young.

Jing Hao didn't sleep as unconscious as before, and after feeling the noise around her, she immediately opened her eyes, and at a glance saw the boy who had been guarding the bedside.

"Albert," said her voice, which had been dry for several days, and still a little hoarse, obediently drank the warm water that the boy handed to her lips, "why is it so noisy outside?" ”

Albert stayed by her bedside and didn't leave, but his senses sharpened and the familiar smell that permeated the air didn't affect him at all, "The demons have invaded. ”

Probably attracted by the powerful demonic energy he brought out before, it took him so long to find a place.

He quickly moved away the cup that was almost knocked over by the person who suddenly got up, reached out to support the person again, thought about it and took her into his arms, and reassured her in a low voice, "It's okay, they can't get in here." ”

With him in the castle, the low-powered demons didn't dare to enter, and it was because of this that those who fled in a hurry ran towards her regardless of it, and even woke her up with a commotion.

A trace of dissatisfaction quickly flowed through his dark eyes, "I'm going to kill them." ”

Jing Hao grabbed the person who was about to leave with his backhand, and some of his body that couldn't use his strength almost fell back to the bed, and was immediately caught and protected in his arms, "Can you kill them?" ”

She looked at the young man in front of her, her eyes were full of worry, if his strength did not awaken, against the group of demons who had no reason and only brute strength, she was afraid that she would not have a good chance of winning.

Albert was silent, glanced at the worry in her eyes with nostalgia, and controlled the strength that would not frighten her, and crushed a tree outside the window that he couldn't hold with both hands into powder.

Quiet, "......"

She touched the young man's thin and soft hair, and sighed softly, "Be careful after that time, be careful not to hurt anyone." ”

She looked at Albert's dark eyes, which had widened in surprise for some reason, straightened up and kissed him on the head, "Go, my great hero, I'll wait for you to save this world and return triumphantly." ”

Albert looked at her eyes with a little pride, swallowed the words that were not suitable to ask her, and changed his mouth to ask, "Can I ...... Can you be a hero? ”

"Why can't you?" Jing Hao shook his hand, the awakened power, can follow the will of the human race, the outcome of this battle between humans and demons, she is not worried at all, "If you want, you can even become a hero in this world." ”

Albert slowly walked out of the room under her gaze, stepping out of the restrictions he had set on the third floor to prevent anyone from entering, and went downstairs step by step.

No, I don't need to be the hero of this world, it's dirty and vulgar, it's indifferent and cold, it's full of interests and selfish desires, it's a stinking sludge boiled out of a witch's iron pot, and I wish it would ruin it quickly.

But if you like, I can leave it for you.

Anything you like has more value than my life.

I keep it and I stay with you.
