Chapter 16: The Unknown Despair

"Anyway," Black scratched his head. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info"There's no need to take it personally, anyway, the truth is that we managed to save ourselves and Alyssa, so that's fine. ”

"And you should understand—"

"Huh?"

As if announcing it, Kuro suddenly raised his head and said this in front of the window.

"Whether it's the real me, the false me, the me, the me, or the fantasy of me, as long as that person knows his name, he will definitely be by your side to protect you."

"It's really arrogant to even dare to make up your mind about other people's fantasies."

"Don't believe me?"

If it had been before this incident, maybe Mei Yi wouldn't have believed such a thing.

However, when she saw that she thought it was a fake, knowing that she was going to kill her companions, but doing everything she could to protect them, Mei Yi probably couldn't imagine that Black would betray her expectations.

"No, I do."

At this time, a new feeling sprouted in her heart.

Maybe it was a delusion, but she wanted it to be true.

Since the black who stood in front of him in that death game or the black who explained everything to everyone later on Castlevania is genuine, the black standing in front of him must also have that part of the memory of getting along with him.

Although the strong black, as the demon king, the always optimistic black is quite handsome, but sometimes, like in the dream, the black who will shed tears because of the inability to protect important things is also likeable.

At that time, I was by his side.

What would happen if I mentioned it to him now, maybe I could make Black's heart beat again like Teresia's original actions, so as to temporarily regain feelings.

Although she probably wouldn't normally try to turn this delusion into reality, but the black who is standing next to her now makes her want to do that.

It seems that he has also changed a lot because of the events in this dream.

"That-"

Just then, the door to the room was loudly pushed open.

This was followed by a spirited greeting.

"Good morning, master, uh, I don't know if it's morning."

Standing at the door is a beautiful girl wearing a maid's costume and with wavy blonde hair.

"Alyssa?"

"It's not bad to recognize me when we meet for the first time in reality, but I don't plan to pretend."

With a calm smile, Alyssa naturally inserted herself between Mei and Hei and hugged Hei's arm.

"Poof!"

Her chest touched her black arm and made an indescribable sound.

This is half a head shorter than herself, and if she is shorter, she can be classified as Lori, but she is in quite good shape.

And the face is also very delicate, combined with a shorter figure, it really looks like a doll.

Obviously, in that dream before, Alyssa was a very ordinary, ordinary and ordinary public-faced maid, but now it seems that she is wearing this black silk suspender maid outfit, even more stylish than Toko.

Unlike Toko, who temporarily switched to a maid as an adventurer, this guy has an elegant and dignified air in his demeanor.

But for Mei Yi, these are secondary-

"How long are you going to hold it!?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I just can't help but come over to stir up the situation when I look at the smell of love."

Thanks to her being able to say it so bluntly, is this guy really out of despair? Or is it just hiding the bad eyes of the boss as a desperate boss?

Just as Mei Yi thought so, Alyssa took the initiative to let go of Black's arm.

"I'm going to tidy up your room next, Miss Mei." She politely lifted the sides of her skirt and bowed.

Then, the sheets and sheets were arranged with great skill, and a broom, a rag, and a bucket seemed to be ready at the door.

"After all, the master doesn't seem to plan to stay here for long, and I have to tidy up this place before the host and other guests leave."

In front of Black and Mei, Alyssa tidied up the room very neatly.

It's really worthy of being professional, wait, what is professional?

Mei couldn't help but be curious.

"That, Miss Elisa?"

"Miss, you don't have to." Alyssa said with a service-like smile. "Now I'm a black elf, and although I look like a maid, but—"

In an instant, she took on the form of Darkrai.

"That's what I really look like, and I'll do that for my boss when I need to."

With that, she turned back to her human form and continued to make the bed.

"So, what do you want to say?"

"Well—Alyssa is the Queen."

"Yes, I was indeed a queen 200 years ago."

"However, it's strange that she's doing the work of a maid now, and she's so skilled."

"Is it strange? The queen or something is just a name, the name is unchanging, but the person who bears this name will change. Although 200 years ago I was the owner of this castle, but now, I am only a maid in this room. ”

After cleaning up the room, Alyssa took the cleaning tools and prepared to leave the room.

"Interested in hearing about my past and going to see the real secret room?"

As Alyssa sorted out the cleaning tools, Black and Mei followed Alyssa's footsteps all the way to yesterday's room.

The chamber was still in its original position, but the rest of the furniture in the room was deliberately placed in a slightly different position from the other rooms, just as it was deliberately to make way for the entrance to the secret passage.

"The location of the chamber hasn't changed at all."

"It's not just the location, it's probably the same thing inside." Alyssa said. "The dreams I make, except for the death games that must be played, are exactly the same as they are in reality, including my dwelling, of course."

Walking down the secret room, I saw the mural of Sellius from birth to decline again, but following Alyssa, Mei Yi's mood also changed a little.

"The frescoes here were all imagined by my subordinates until the last big flood flooded the whole country, after all, the kingdom of Sellius was established for more than a thousand years."

As they made their way downstairs, Alyssa explained quietly.

"And I am the last generation of monarchs, usually Cellius does not appoint women as monarchs, my father, who was originally the heir, only left me and died suddenly, and other men either have their own lives, or they are not sensible, and my grandfather chose me as the heir."

"I was chosen as an heir, and I was a very smart person when I was a child, and when I was nine years old I learned that I was going to inherit the throne, and for the next seven years I set out what I was going to do for my country during my reign."

"At that time, I was just sensible, and I planned to spend my life as a good ruler. Probably from that point on, everything I did was to be a worthy king. ”

"Because I am a woman, after I inherited the throne, there were many people who disobeyed discipline, but I was naturally prepared to deal with them. I've spent two years reorganizing my cabinet, holding the power in my hands, and I'm planning to make Sellius stronger according to my own ideas—"

At this, Alyssa lowered her head.

"You probably know the rest of the matter, 2 years after the succession, 18-year-old I, I saw the whole country swallowed up by the sea."

"I may not be able to fully recall the feelings I had now, but I am desperate, hateful, and my heart is swallowed up by these negative emotions."

"But I don't know who I hate, and even if I hate nature, it is doomed to be fruitless, and I hate it in spite of it. If you can't find the object of hatred, you will destroy everything, and if you destroy yourself, you will not have to be tormented by the pain of losing your country. ”

"And it is this negative emotion that stimulates the hidden magic in my body as a royal family. Powerful negative emotions can also be used as a kind of magic in their own right, and for people like me, who are born with a certain amount of magic, negative emotions keep turning into magic that tries to destroy the surroundings and accumulates in my body. ”

"Within a few years, my body was sick because of my magic. If you read the diary, you should understand that in order to prevent myself from being dominated by despair after death, I ordered this secret room to be built, and at the last moment before I thought I died, I entered this secret room, let others lock me inside, and sealed me forever. ”

"However, I did not actually die, and before I died, the magic of despair was released, and my body was thus elven, gradually becoming Darkrai's appearance, and not aging like a human. However, my reason, which had been suppressing despair by reason, disappeared, and I became despair itself. ”

"Rushing out of that secret room and bringing despair to the world, I was left with only this thought. But fortunately, I had already anticipated this situation when I was sensible, and I sealed myself in the secret room, and with my ability, it was absolutely impossible to open the secret room from the inside. ”

As they spoke, they walked to the entrance to the chamber, a door with fragments of chains strewn across the floor.

"The story was supposed to end there, but one day a man, the former owner of the room, Mr. Smith, came to the door of the room, and as you can see, he broke the lock of the room. However, contrary to the master's previous speculation, the master did not open this secret room because he was deceived. ”

……

About two years ago today, there was a sudden clanging sound from the door of the secret room.

Finally, with a loud bang, the door of the secret room was pushed open.

A middle-aged man walked into the huge secret room, and when the door opened, the rope that held the door to it fell to the ground in a sloppy manner.

The chamber was huge and beautifully decorated, but it was basically empty.

However, just like a blank piece of paper will not be noticed, and if there is a black dot on the white paper, most people's eyes will focus on that black dot.

In the center of the room, there is a coffin.

As a person born with a gift for magic, he could sense that the coffin was not a silent corpse, but a creature with considerable magical powers.

His eyes could see the flow of magic clearly, and in his eyes, the power in that coffin gave a strong sense of oppression, and it would be difficult for ordinary people to just stand in front of him.

But-

"I'm strong."

The corners of the man's mouth rose slightly, and he continued to walk towards the coffin.

The contents of the coffin do not warn the man, the premise of the warning is that he does not want to hurt the other person, but it is despair in itself, and its existence is to hurt others.

Such an existence has been sealed in this secret chamber for 200 years.

It is only desperate and devastated that it has forgotten its joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and even if it is kept locked up here, it will not feel lonely, and even if it is released to hurt others, it will not get pleasure.

There is no reason, it just acts according to its own instincts, yes, the instincts that are portrayed as only destructive.

There was still a distance of about three meters from the coffin, and suddenly, the coffin lid slammed open, and a black shadow quickly flew out of it.

The man couldn't see what the shadow was because of the speed, but he noticed that the shadow's outstretched claws were grabbing at his neck without deviation.

I'm afraid it had already planned to use this blow to tear this rash intruder to shreds.

However, in the next moment, something happened that the dark shadow did not expect.

The man grabbed the black paw that was reaching out to him, and then, seeing the black shadow in front of his eyes, looking at him with a look of surprise.

"Darkrai? It's an interesting change. Looking at the guy who appeared in front of him in the form of Darkrai, the man not only did not feel afraid, but smiled.

"It's very interesting, there are indeed scholars who have put forward the hypothesis that humans with magical talents may become elves under certain circumstances, and I remember that person also proposed that the origin of elves like Darkrai, who have no gender and cannot reproduce, is human beings themselves, and it seems that his hypothesis will be tested."

"Impossible, just humans, can avoid my attacks."

"Just humans?" The man asked calmly. "200 years later, have you forgotten that you were once human?"

"Oh!!"

The other party didn't seem to be the one to communicate with, and the black arm that was grabbed released released a black curb wave.

However, the man easily snapped Darkrai's arm open, allowing the containment of the volatility to be released.

He then pinned Darkrai to the ground, who was still struggling.

"Kill you, I'm going to kill you!"

"This guy, who has accumulated 200 years of despair, doesn't seem to be able to work by persuasion."

As he spoke, the man pressed Darkrai's hand and emitted a pale blue light, and the dark magic on Darkrai's body continued to condense on his hand, as if he had sucked it in. (To be continued.) )
