Byron International College, northern suburbs of Athens –

Terry finished his psychology elective course in the public auditorium, sorted out his textbooks, and walked out of the brown Nordic castle-style No. 2 teaching and research building with his student briefcase.

It was evening, and the afternoon classes of the college were all over. An endless stream of students flocked to the corridors on the floors of the teaching area, or in the wide playground, or walking on the asphalt paths of the campus.

In the warm twilight of the Mediterranean, the air is always so humid and pleasant.

Terry smelled the pleasant and soothing scent of the evening breeze and took a shortcut along the newly paved gravel road in the lawn area to the campus gate.

When he inadvertently glanced at the row of green maple trees in front of him, his eyes suddenly froze like a shock.

Not far away, there was a young woman sitting on a striped bench next to the Qingfeng school tree, her posture as elegant and graceful as water.

She wore a pale white slip dress with straight blonde hair. The crown of the head is covered by a wide-brimmed sun hat made of rattan straw, and the side brim is decorated with a delicate orange sunflower.

The evening breeze continued to blow unhurriedly across the twilight-shrouded campus. In this gentle wind, the woman in Terry's field of vision gently lifted the hem of her white dress, "gurgling" in the dust reflected by the setting sun.

Beneath the swaying skirt faintly appeared her two calves of clotted snow muscles. Further down, there is the pair of jasper's flawless ankles, as if carved by skilled craftsmen, the whole is round and delicate, on a pair of crystal semi-transparent wedge sandals.

In the hustle and bustle of the campus, this dusty fairy woman in the shadow of the swaying trees is like an unbelievable picture, and Terry is fascinated at the same time.

Consciousness was then brought back to the former paradise, and in that peaceful world of water and sky, Triton had seen the same elegant shadow......

After a while, he finally realized that his behavior had been a little abrupt, so he hurriedly gathered his attention and walked briskly towards the side of the bench.

"Karete ......"

Triton stopped in front of the woman, only to see her slightly pale goose egg face hanging slightly. A pair of dark sunglasses rested on the bridge of the tall nose.

Tears flowed endlessly, spilling from under the two inky purple lenses.

Perhaps it was the sound of a friend's call, and the rhythm of the crystal warm liquid surging on the woman's face became more dense at this moment, and the two bare shoulders that were white in the sunlight twitched once or twice from time to time.

Triton snapped, dropped his bag and took another step closer to her.

After only hesitating for a moment, Triton couldn't help it, leaned out his white fingers and removed the straw hat on top of her head, and took off the sunglasses in front of her for her.

The eyes that used to be full of autumn water are now red and swollen with tears, like two pink peaches with rotten skin, and the peach skin will be crushed immediately if you touch it with a finger.

Kareta slowly raised her head in silence, only to meet Terry's stunned gaze for half a second~ before suddenly lowering it again. In the tear-covered eyes, the look of hope is long gone.

Terry was shocked. The soft and charitable heart is like being attacked by a heavy object, and it is torn out with a dull pain.

The only thing that could hurt Carreta so much was that man—

Terry stretched out his right arm at her, and at the distance he was standing at her seat, he pressed her forehead against his abdomen.

The moment she came into contact with Triton's body, Karete's sobs had turned into a "whining" cry, as if she was moved by the love and sympathy of her loved ones for her painful body and mind.

No matter how much sorrow she endured, she couldn't make a gaffe howl, but grabbed the hem of Terry's shirt with both hands and buried her head in front of him, sobbing softly to express and pour out all her grievances.

Terry empathized with Carret's heartbreak, and the look of shock on his face gradually turned to gloom in anger.

"Tell me Kareta, he'...... Did it hurt you after all?"

——

As soon as Demos and his attendant Noah returned to the human world, they searched for it in a panic and nervously on the upper and lower floors of the villa in the South District.

As soon as they entered the living room, both master and servant saw that the priesthood dress that Kareta had worn from the Dark Temple was lying crookedly on the solid wooden floor.

The cell phone and personal belongings all remained the same as when Demos and Carette left the human world, which only means that she didn't bring anything with her after changing into human clothes, and ran away in a hurry.

Demosden was so distraught that he searched every room on the first floor, sighed bitterly, and then ran up to the second floor without stopping.

Entering the living bedroom, he sat listlessly on the edge of the bed, staring at the other half of the soft bed where Carette was lying.

Over there, there was a slight dent in the center of the neat sheets.

Demos reached over and gently rubbed the hollow with his soft fingertips.

It seemed that the friction brought a faint heat, causing the dent to slowly emanate a faint fragrance, which was the aftertaste of Karet's body.

Kareta –

Demos's heart darkened, silently calling her name. The injury erupted again, and he felt a terrible pain in the wings of his nose.

Where are you, Karete? Where are you at this time? What are you doing? Don't cry, I really don't want you to be hurt so much......

In a mess of his heart, Demos slumped down wearily and turned his sad face to the empty half of the bed. Closing his eyes, his solid arms into the void, he embraced the lonely air that had the scent of Karete's body in his arms.

Demos fantasized that he was hugging her beautiful and delicate body at the moment, and his mood unconsciously turned even more desolate.

......

It was a long time later, when the villa area was completely overshadowed by the colors of the night, that Demos got up and exited his bedroom.

Moving down the stairs to the first floor, where there were still a few last flights of stairs, Demos stopped and sat down a flight of stairs, looking tired.

The attendant Noah stayed in the living room every inch, and when he saw the master out of the bedroom, he hurriedly greeted him, standing at the corner of the staircase.

But the master had not taken a few steps before he sat down on the stairs with a tired head and a silent head, and Noadam was immediately flustered, took two steps towards the staircase, and bowed down on one knee towards Demos.

"Wang, it was the subordinates who did not do well to cause this trouble. Noah asks the king to punish him!"

Demos looked up at Noah's honest and frightened appearance, and said to him exhausted:

"Get up, I can't blame you for today's events. Cali had already planned, and what she wanted to do, she would achieve with great effort. ”

Noah obediently stood up, glanced at Demos awkwardly, and asked tentatively:

"You...... Don't you plan to come back to the princess?"

Demos didn't answer immediately, and a pair of dark black pupils looked straight at the wooden floor at Noah's feet like a bottomless abyss.

After a moment, he poured out in his memories:

"Noah, do you remember the oath I made to you when you faithful Dark Squires were reborn in this life and gathered in another dimension......? Now I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise to you......"

Noah listened with a straight face, and he didn't dare to interject without guessing what his master actually meant.

When Demos finished speaking, endless unexplained sadness condensed between his eyebrows.

"I love Kareta, I feel sad because she is sad, I laugh out loud because she laughs. If one day she suddenly leaves me, I will feel extremely painful and confused, like a whole body suddenly losing an inseparable limb or organ. Noah, do you understand my pain, my struggles and contradictions? I love you. But I love Carreta too......"

After Demos finished speaking, the dull feeling in his chest seemed to be lessened, and the dark eyes seemed to be injected with some kind of power in an instant, rekindling the brilliance.

Ever since he confirmed that he was in love with Carret, he fell under the spell of Hades' prophecy, and Ai Ai struggled with the choice between beauty and kingship, a dilemma that he could not escape from was a nightmare that had been weighing him down physically and mentally for a long time.

Now, Demos has decided to let go of one of the two.

Leaving aside his dreams, he may only be lost for a while, and blame himself for continuing to hide the Dark Clan tribes in that dark and hopeless dimensional space.

However, when he loses his true love, he loses his true heart. How can a life without a heart live in the world?

"The king..."

Noah looked at his master reverently, his heart surging that he shouldn't say anything for a while.

Demos naturally does not hide from his close attendants in many official matters. However, if the problem involves his personal privacy, even if it is a few times, he has solved the problem by facing it alone and silently.

Now, he is willing to share his privacy with his attendants, and for the first time he talks about his personal emotional problems.

While Noah was flattered, he also had a sense of excitement and pride in his heart to be trusted by his master.

"You... Have you already made your choice?"

He dared to raise his gaze to meet Demos's gaze.

The master's far-reaching and bright eyes are no longer miserable or messy, but have added more resolute and resolute determination.

Seeing that Demos made a shallow nod to his side again, Noah's hanging heart finally fell back to its original position at this moment.

"Wang, no matter what choice you make, Noah will follow you without hesitation. In fact, your love and determination for the princess have made you feel like you are born again. ”

Demos was stunned by the sincere words of the child opposite, and asked with a friendly smile:

"Oh, what change?"

"In your previous life, your heart and soul were distorted by hatred, and your face was forever covered with ferocity and cold. However, in this life, you have met the princess, and there are too many expressions on your mask-like and terrifying face. You seem to ...... I'm getting closer and closer to a human being with delicate feelings... One...... Truly perfect man ......"
