Chapter 200: One Night in the Castle
When the sound of "Nicole" echoed in the aisle, Caesar's heart also hung in the air. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
How scared he was, Nicole would be angry with him, after all, he had made her worry and scared.
He regretted why he put himself in that dangerous situation. You must know that as long as you are willing, everything in front of you can be turned into ashes in a fire, as long as you are willing, thousands of troops and horses will not be able to stop your steps, as long as you are willing, you are standing on the top of this continent.
An urge welled up in his heart to tell Nicole everything. Who he is and how powerful he is. He wanted to tell her everything, just to ask her not to worry about him like that.
"Is it Caesar?"
Nicole's crisp voice came from the other side of the stone gate, and there was joy in her tone, but it was not difficult to hear the tiredness.
"It's me. ”
Caesar immediately agreed.
"You...... Are you alright?"
He asked the question in his mind.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me. ”
Nicole's voice was still so clear, like a winter lake reflecting the cloudless sky, and at the same time flowing with a unique crispness.
"I'm sorry, Caesar. You obviously still have a game during this time, but I can't accompany you. ”
Caesar hurriedly shook his head, and then thought that there was a stone door between the two, and his movements were invisible to Nicole.
"It's okay with me, it's just ...... I hope you don't get mad at me......"
"Why should I be mad at you?"
Nicole's words were full of doubt.
"I'm worrying you......"
The empty aisle fell silent at this point.
Caesar waited for Nicole's answer with some trepidation, and the air seemed to condense at this moment.
"yes......"
Eventually, Nicole said quietly.
"You're really worrying me too much......"
Caesar suffocated, as if at this moment, his heart had stopped beating.
He wanted to say what was in his heart, everything about him. Those words were like a fish in his throat, and at this time he had the urge not to vomit unpleasantly.
"Nicole, I'm ......"
Caesar was about to speak, but Nicole suddenly said:
"But!"
"I just hate that I didn't have the strength to stand with you and fight side by side with you at that time, so I wanted to work hard to cultivate. I don't want to be pulled down too far by you, I don't want to look at your back all the time, I want to stand in the same place as you, looking at the same scenery. ”
Nicole's words stunned Caesar.
"It's not your fault that I'm worried. ”
Nicole continued:
"I know your eyes have been looking at the far side of this world, and you have always wanted to go above the top. Although I don't know why, you seem to linger here, you seem to be forcibly suppressing yourself, and you don't seem to want to take a step into the distance. However, I can see that you don't belong here after all, and you have the potential to compete with the powerhouses of the whole continent. And if I really love you, I should support you, I should stand by your side and follow you to conquer the world, instead of being a burden to you like now. Caesar ......"
Nicole's voice suddenly became aesthetical.
Listening to her voice, Caesar seemed to be able to see her beautiful face. Look at her beautiful face and listen to her words.
"I want to stand by your side......"
Saying this seemed to exhaust all of Nicole's strength.
And the stone hanging in Caesar's heart finally fell to the ground.
He sat down on the ground against the stone door, quietly watching the long aisle.
In the meditation room, Nicole also stopped practicing.
She slowly walked to the stone door, raised her hand and stroked it on top of it. As if in this way, Nicole was able to touch the person she had been thinking about for a long time.
Also sitting slowly against the stone door, Nicole buried her face in her knees.
"Come on, Nicole. ”
Caesar said softly, his voice caressing Nicole's face through the hard stone.
Listening to her sweetheart's voice, Nicole nodded happily:
"Hmm!"
The two of them sat like this, as if they could sit for the years called "eternity".
"I'm sorry I didn't go to your game. ”
Nicole said again.
Not being able to go to Caesar's game did make her a little disappointed. But the most important thing now is to strengthen yourself so that you can stand by his side as soon as possible.
"It's okay. ”
Caesar smiled, letting Nicole's words blow into the softest part of his heart.
"You're going to be in the final. ”
"Hmm. ”
"When is the final?"
"Tomorrow. ”
"That's right...... I probably won't be able to go ......."
"It doesn't matter. ”
"You have to win!"
Caesar's words grew softer and softer, until this last sentence:
"I will. ”
Extraordinarily soft, but with undeniable firmness.
It is as if this sentence is the truth, the only criterion in the world.
"Or...... You go back first and prepare for tomorrow's game. ”
Nicole thought about it for a long time, and finally said it. Although she was reluctant, although she hoped that Caesar would be by her side. However, she can't be so selfish, Caesar still has her own things to do.
"It's okay, I'll be with you tonight. ”
Gentle words, like the sweetest sweet words in the world.
Nicole couldn't help but indulge in the happiness of this moment.
"Caesar. ”
"Huh?"
"Sooner or later, you'll go further afield. You shouldn't stay where you are. ”
Nicole spoke her mind.
This is how Caesar felt to her, and this is what she always wanted to say to Caesar.
Caesar didn't answer, because by this time, Nicole's words had already set off a storm in his heart.
In his life, he has been going back, looking for a home where he can stay for a long time. He never imagined that he would be able to go far away, to the place called "Peak".
Nicole was delicate and extremely sensitive, and her words stirred up a thousand thoughts in Caesar's mind.
As the minutes ticked by, Nicole returned to her cultivation.
She sat cross-legged in the ashram, her body radiating a golden glow.
Nicole, who was immersed in meditation, appeared in front of her from time to time with the dignified young man. The eyes of the youth are always filled with a faint sadness. He put his hands in his pockets and just stood there quietly, looking up at the cloudless sky.
Outside the meditation room, Caesar sat on the ground leaning against the stone door. He put his hands on his knees and looked up at the ceiling above his head, his thoughts drifting far, far away.
Time passed little by little in the hourglass, and through that small hole, it seemed to be a new world.
For the whole night, Caesar did not close his eyes, not even move.
He had been sitting there quietly, accompanied by Nicole in meditation.
Although the two were separated by a stone door, their hearts had never been so close.
At the first rays of dawn on the horizon, when the birds chirped and gave the first birdsong of the morning, when the mist stirred the dew of the previous night, Caesar slowly rose from the ground.
He glanced back at the stone gate that had remained unchanged, then turned around and left the place step by step.
Before he left the meditation room, he left the Flamel house, left the entire castle estate, and walked towards the academy.
He thinks in his heart, thinks about the beautiful woman, thinks about the future, and thinks about the "above the peak".
