Dreams, long-lost dreams.

It's been a long time since I've dreamed of anything remarkably real.

In my dream, I was led by a black bird to an old castle alone.

Unlike the ornate and magnificent castles that appeared in those old movies, this castle that appeared in dreams lacked the kind of Gothic spire, the large iron doors in the Rococo style, and the huge painted frescoes on the top of the Sistine Chapel.

It is more of a rigorous architectural model, with the main building having a square roof and the surrounding towers domes. Below are creamy white walls, and at the top are dark blues with a slight grayish tinge.

The gates of the castle were tightly closed, and I walked inside, pushing through the layers of doors with my own hands, all the way to the innermost room.

Then I was presented with a chair made of pure gold at the corners and red velvet cushions.

A red velvet cushion is topped by a golden crown.

"Why didn't you eat them?" The crow opened his mouth to speak, and I actually shifted the focus, not to be surprised why a crow could speak to a human, but to think carefully about why I didn't eat "them".

Who are they?

Demon spirits them?

Of course I won't eat them, they are my friends, and I will protect them, just because they gave me trust, support and help when I was in pain, confused and lonely.

The crow fluttered its wings gracefully on my shoulders and walked away from me.

"O people in the pigsty, I hope that one day you will also take on the role of protecting the crowd. Because sooner or later, you will find that the pigs in the pigsty will be wild boars with sharp beaks and fangs. Wild boars can hurt. ”

A cold wind blew into the floor-to-ceiling windows, and there was a sharp sound of glass shattering the floor, and I looked around in my dream alertly, and there were bursts of unreal whispers around me.

"Who is it?" I went around in circles and still didn't find anything.

At that moment, I was pushed up to the golden seat by invisible force, and the crown hung over my head, and the moment my ass touched the red velvet cushion, the crown fell on my head, and I couldn't lift my head.

The black and inky feathers of the crows landed on me.

I opened my eyes suddenly.

In the flickering candlelight and the fragrance of roses, the sound of the piano and violin echoes in the empty space, which is intoxicating.

But instead of getting drunk, I woke up.

"Are you going to get up? Mr. A polite voice asked me in a low voice, and there was no emotion in his tone.

"I ...... Where am I? "My head was very heavy, and I sat up while rubbing my head.

"This is Romania, the habitat of the Dracula clan." When the word Dracula was mentioned, the other party unconsciously raised his tone, obviously very proud.

I didn't even think that I could run to such a distant place in the time I slept and woke up.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that I was surrounded by very retro and luxurious decorations, and a man wearing a medieval European tuxedo was tidying up my clothes.

"With all due respect, this dress of yours is really lacking in beauty, but I cleaned it for you, please take a closer look."

I looked down and saw that I was still dressed, just a delicate pure silk garment that I didn't know at all, and with lace trim.

I feel like such a sissy dress, and I feel uncomfortable just looking at it on me.

"May I ask if you changed my clothes for me?" I looked up at the tuxedo man with a confused expression.

"Yes, sir." There was some imperceptible coldness in the other party's voice.

"You don't like me very much?" I asked.

The tuxedo petrified in place for three seconds, then straightened up my clothes, stared me straight at me like a torch, and replied aloud.

"Yes, I don't like you. Maybe you're not used to this kind of dress, but it's the mainstream in our world.

"It's like people in your world – you have to get married at the age of 20, you have to have children at the age of 25, you have to have a car and a house when you have the age of 30, you have to have a car and a house when you are 40, your children have to go to college, and then you have to repeat your parents' lives when you are 20 years old.

"You humans are such stupid animals – bound by the rules of society. The herd effect of followers is also complacent.

"Of course, the most ridiculous thing is that now you are so bound that you have become my new master."

The taunting skills in one go made me a little overwhelmed.

It was a moment before I got up and left the big bed with my arms outstretched.

"Now that I am your master, please change my clothes, and I have something to say to you."

The tuxedo frowned slightly, leaned in towards me, and politely changed the lace dressing gown for me.

In the open wardrobe door, there were all kinds of clothes such as linen, silk, and cotton in the pajamas alone, and I was dazzled to see it.

"There's a banquet going on downstairs, it's for you." The tuxedo bowed respectfully and pursed her lips. "Please hurry up and give orders."

With a faint smile, I couldn't help but feel that this guy was a little cute, he didn't want to obey me, but he was bound by the established rules and etiquette, and had to maintain strict respect for me.

"I don't have an order to give, but I want to refute what you just said."

You, Brother Fan, and I, specialize in all kinds of disobedience. Since I was a child, the only thing I've ever participated in is a debate and won, okay?

"People are people who are bound by their own fixed ideas. The people I'm talking about don't have to be just humans, but all any animal with a mind of their own.

"It's like most of us humans have to do things that are bound by this social rule when we're 20, 25, 30, 40. But you know there are always people who aren't bound by these rules.

"And the moment you have just taken the attitude of a superior being, thinking that all people are a flock, you are already doomed to arrogance and superficiality. Because you are judging your surroundings by conventional ideas.

"I don't know your name or why you don't like me, but I want to be your friend."

After a pause, I raised my hand to the tuxedo, "Thank you for changing my clothes, I really don't know how to wear these clothes." Now that I'm like this, is it appropriate to go downstairs to the banquet? ”

As soon as I spoke, the swallowtail looked at me with deep emotion, and after a while, he bowed with his eyebrows lowered, "Yes, I beg you to come downstairs, my master." ”

The sound of the violin was melodious, the sound of the piano was elegant, and I went downstairs step by step, and there was a soft laughter in my ears.

Everything was as beautiful as a dream.
