"You, are you okay?" those big beautiful eyes seemed to contain a beating brilliance.

"Are you an elf?" said little Butos, who had never seen such beautiful eyes, nor had he ever seen such a beautiful girl. In Butos's heart, anyone who is indescribably handsome is an elf, and of course, Butos has never seen a real elf.

The beautiful girl smiled like a lark, and she gently lifted Butos up from the ground: "How can I be so beautiful? ”

Ashley kindly held out her hand as white as a jewel to Butos.

Butos looked up at Ashley's gaze, and suddenly felt a little panicked, he didn't know what to do. Butos slowly handed the apple in his hand to Ashley.

Ashley smiled again when she saw the apple handed by Butos.

"Sister Ashley......" Butos blushed and bowed his head, thinking to himself, "how beautiful is this sister......? I don't think I've ever seen an elf, and maybe the elf will be more beautiful by her...... In short, she must be the most beautiful human being!"

Ashley smiled and leaned down, gently wiped the apple in Butos' hand with the hem of her skirt, and then handed it back to Butos: "Are you okay? It must have hurt a lot just now......

Butos nervously snorted: "Ah, yes, it hurts...... But it's okay! I often fall off trees......"

Ashley pulled Butos to sit down under the tree as if she loved her brother, and gently blew on Butos' broken palm......

Little by little, the sun was setting in the west, and Butos told Ashley many of the stories that old Butos had told him, and the adventurer's own experience was definitely far more fascinating than the bard's inventions.

Throughout the afternoon, Ashley had a wonderful time with Butos.

As dusk draws to a halt and night approaches, Ashley waves goodbye to Butos.

Although Butos told Ashley a lot, Butos never told Ashley about his background...... Butos wasn't trying to hide something, he just thought...... There were some things he didn't want to talk to Ashley......

Perhaps, this is a concern.

Ashley walked happily in the direction of the city of Tenostea, and Butos watched as Ashley moved towards the setting sun.

At some point, which may or may not be special or not, Ashley suddenly turns around and yells at Butos, "I'll be here tomorrow!

Butos replied loudly: "Yes!"

Ashley's smiling face turned away from the setting sun, and Butos couldn't see it clearly, but in the afterglow of the setting sun, Ashley really looked like an elf.

Ashley drifted away, and Butos stared to the west until sunset, until night fell completely......

"Your heart is beating......" The voice of the ringwraiths caught Butos off guard.

"How is that possible?" Butos had never been so flustered: "Oh...... Everyone's heart is beating, old Butos. ”

"Hehehe...... I mean," I mean, "the Ringwraith continues to disguise itself as old Butos, and now it loves this skin dearly: "You like this beautiful girl......"

"I, I just think she's beautiful! like an elf! she's like my sister!"

"You didn't talk to her enough, and she hid something from you. ”

When Butos heard this, he suddenly felt an inexplicable loss in his heart. It was a strange feeling for Butos.

"I know her, she's the fourth daughter of the Duke of Ciel......"

Butos' eyes widened suddenly.

"And she won't come back tomorrow......"

"Why! and ...... Old Butos, why do you know so much?" said Butos, frowning.

"Hehehehehe, I can see her heart, my dear little Butos. As usual, the Ringwraith snickered, "She's forgotten something, but I see it." ”

"What is it?" asked Butos.

"She......" The Ringwraith paused with some cunningness, "there is a ball tomorrow in the west city of Tenosdia, and that is the ...... her father arranged for her."

Butos wanted to continue listening, but the Ringwraith was silent.

"I beg you, old Butos, please go on!" begged Butos.

"The cunning Duke of Ciel arranged for her to meet with the heir of a certain marquis, which ...... But it's a good time to get engaged......" Ringwraith laughed.

Butos's heart suddenly became a little sour.

"You should show up at the ball, little Butos. "Conspiracy, so that the Ringwrath will never lack something.

"Me?" Butos was a little lost: "How could it be ......"

Bundles of dark black aura escaped from the black ring and began to wrap around Butos's body.

"With me, nothing is impossible......"

Butos felt his body burn, and great pain continued to come from his limbs.

"Hehehehe...... Little Butos, the daughter of the Duke, is a great opportunity for you to get close to Tenostia...... If you like her, take it for yourself...... It's like collecting treasures, collecting her...... Hehehe......"

Butos fell to the ground, and under the black qi, Butos's body began to grow rapidly.

When Butos had grown into a teenager in his twenties, the black qi in the black ring began to pour into Butos's forehead......

"My handsome little Butos...... Hehehe...... Now, your soul should grow too......"

The laughter of the Black Ring echoed between nothingness and etherealism......

The corner of the moon is gently obscured by black clouds......

When the first rays of the morning sun shone on the face of the young man on the lawn, a roar of pain suddenly rang out.

"Mole ants, waste, get up, I'm going to be burned to ashes......!"

Butos quickly got up in a panic, and then after a very brief hesitation, he quickly picked up the black ring on the ground next to him and held it in the palm of his hand......

"Old, old Butos, are you alright?" asked Butos nervously, and at this moment of sound, Butos felt that something seemed wrong.

"I can't die yet...... This damn sun ......"

"Ah!" exclaimed Butos, "why have I become like this?"

The Ringwraith replied impatiently, "This is what you will eventually become, young Butos. ”

At this time, Butos was tall, strong, and resolute, and he was obviously no longer the fledgling fledgling bird he had been.

Butos continued to look at himself: "Why does my clothes fit so well?"

"Hiss......" The Ring Spirit was suddenly a little dissatisfied with the current Butos: "Stupid Butos, you should put your mind on the ball, I have given you the appearance and age that match Ashley, you should go and get everything back for me!"

Butos suddenly frowned, looked at the black ring in his hand, then removed a thread from the corner of his clothes, hung the ring on his chest, and hid the black ring with the placket.

"Old Butos said that Ashley will not come today...... "Butos hesitated: "Then I'll go find her...... I've never been to a prom, so it must have been a lot of fun. ”

Butos walked slowly in the direction of Tenosdia.

"Ashley, my fourth daughter," said the noble Count of Ciel, in a luxurious and refined courtyard in the city of Tenostia, "I grant you beauty, wealth, fame, and infinite affection, Ashley, son of the Marquis de Borrossal a well-known boy. You two are definitely a good match......"

"You don't understand at all!" cried Ashley to her father in front of all the servants, "None of my sisters have been able to marry their beloved!

"You are young, my good daughter," said the Count of Ciel, whose temper was surprisingly good: "I ate moldy bread every day, and there was no fresh milk for breakfast, and the bed was uneven, and there was nowhere to warm it in winter...... Even if you love him, he loves you dearly, so what......?

Siell paused, and Ashley's heart was already in a moment before it broke.

"Besides, you don't know what love is!You've never met anyone you fall in love with!" Siel's words suddenly became stern: "You're no longer a child! ”

"No!" exclaimed Ashley, hoarsely, "why can't my beloved father understand me!, if there is no love, I would rather be alone forever than marry someone else like this!"

"That's enough!" Ciel lost patience and turned and walked out of the courtyard, "Keep an eye on her, if she runs out of the city like yesterday, you lowly slaves will get out of here!"

Ashley's eyes widened, "...... you follow me?"

Ciel walked out of the courtyard relentlessly.

The servant cautiously walked towards Ashley. Ashley, on the other hand, did something she had never done before.

A long, sharp pair of scissors suddenly appeared from Ashley's hand.

"Whoever asks me to marry the son of the marquis, I will die before you!" Ashley threatened the servant, and rushed out of the courtyard.

Ciel, who had just stepped out of the courtyard, saw a light but somewhat manic figure pass behind him. When Siel came to her senses and angrily ordered her servants to chase after her, she had already run out of Earl Siel's apartment.

On the street, a noble girl was scurrying with scissors, something that the Tennostians had never seen before.

The Tenosdia had not seen it, nor did Butos.

Looking at the girl rushing towards him with scissors, Butos suddenly felt a little funny, but when he saw and recognized it as Ashley, Butos's heart was a little flustered for a while.

"Ai ......," Butos was about to shout.

Ashley had seen Butos too. Ashley always felt that the young man in front of her seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it for a while. Ashley tripped over a piece of rotten fruit on the street, and Ashley fell towards Butos with scissors in her hand.

At this moment, the brilliance of the "Tears of the Shark" began to flicker, and Butos was shocked, and hurriedly held the mysterious gem in his pocket: "No!

The light of the "Tears of the Shark" faded at the request of Butos.

At this point, it was too late for Butos to avoid the scissors in Ashley's hand.

Ashley threw herself into Butos's arms, and the extremely sharp scissors were thrust into Butos's left chest.
