Hatred Section 3 Luna and Regulus (Middle)
"The power to bring all things to their knees?" Marshall intrigued. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"These are all confidential information that can only be obtained after reaching a certain status in the kingdom, and it is also mentioned that their family was the natural enemy of dragons before the appearance of the 'Dragon Slayer'. ”
"Dragon's predator?!" Regulus looked surprised.
Dan turned to Regulus and asked, "What is wrong with you for so much trust in a girl you've only known for a few days?
"What are you talking about! Luna she's not an enemy! What if she's from that family? If she's an enemy, why would she help you infiltrate? I'll believe her because I look into her eyes and I know she's not lying, she's just a poor person who has been imprisoned in a foreign land for more than ten years, and it's my own will that I choose to help her!"
"Don't be naïve, this is war!" Danco emphasized.
"So what! I am still the god of war!" exclaimed Regulus.
"Alright, alright, let's put that girl's business aside for the time being, let's complete the main goal of this mission first!" Marshall knocked on the table.
Danco sighed, not looking at Regulus's angry face, and then said, "Our priority now is to find out the situation of the Otherworldly Gate and the connection between Saint Lucas and the Demon God, to achieve this goal, we must first infiltrate the Radiant Castle, and there is no way to rely on the identity of that girl to open the way, so we have to be careful along the way." ”
"Isn't there some duke who came back from the dead?" Regulus also put aside the controversy and calmed down, "Why don't you investigate him?" Regulus actually wanted to know more details about the resurrection from the dead.
"The place where Duke Grady blew himself up that day was in the corridor with the Otherworldly Gate, and he only appeared after touching the handle of the gate, so he must have nothing to do with the Otherworldly Gate, and we will consider his problem while investigating the gate. ”
"The next question is how to infiltrate the heavily guarded castle. Marshall said, "How the hell did you get in last time?"
"You'll know this then, let's rest tonight!" Dan Ke walked out of the room with some mystery.
"It's so secretive again, you have so many fucking secrets!" Marshall scolded and walked out, leaving Regulus alone, and this room was his room.
The room was so quiet that barely a sound could be heard, and Regulus sat alone, looking at the candles dancing on the table, and his thoughts were filled with thoughts. He thought about the question Danko had asked him earlier - he really didn't know anything about Luna, and he had never heard of the "Muen family" that Danko had mentioned. The disappearance of the master of the Muen family twelve years ago that he said was just right for the time when Luna came to Vassilion, and what happened to Luna may have to ask her and let her tell herself.
Regulus walked to the door of the open-air bath at the back of the inn, the door was not closed, and he thought that Luna should have finished washing, so he mustered up the courage to go inside. The air was humid, and Regulus smelled an aroma that pleased him. In the past, he would never have dared to break into the bathroom where the girl was bathing, but today he didn't know what was going on with him, as if there was some kind of emotion in his heart that did not belong to him, as if another personality had begun to awaken in him.
When he walked to the bath outside the courtyard, he felt as if he was in a fairyland—a bamboo forest swaying, the moon and stars were sparse, the water was sparkling, and by the bath sat a slender woman, her legs in the water, wrapped in only a bath towel, her blonde hair was still a little wet, and it was stuck in bunches on her bare back. She looked up at the full moon in the sky, and the moonlight illuminated the unscarred side of her face, as if she was preoccupied. Looking at this scene, Regulus's heart was shocked, and a long-ago memory in his mind that did not seem to belong to him was awakened, which was also in a bath, the back of a naked woman.
"What are you doing here, aren't you talking to the big guys?" Luna noticed Regulus' arrival, and her sad expression instantly retracted, turning to the usual shouting at Regulus.
"They're done talking, I'm just coming to see you, you haven't come out for a long time......"
"What's the matter? Do you want me to serve you now? You stinky men are really all inconsistent, liar-mouthed guys!"
"No, no, no, I heard Dan Ke say something about the 'Muen family' before, they have been suspicious of you, but I have always believed you, and I almost quarreled with them, but ......"
"You...... You want to know about my family, right?" Luna's tone softened, she didn't expect this man to stand against her former companion for her sake again, was he really good to her or was he playing some tricks? Luna's instinctive hatred for men was shaken again.
"No, I won't force you if you don't want to say it, so if I have this opportunity, I'll tell you my story!" Regulus slowly approached Luna, and only then did he notice the countless shocking scars on her body, he swallowed, then turned his back and asked, "Can I sit down?"
Luna didn't refuse, so Regulus slowly crouched down and sat cross-legged with his back to her. The two sat back to back, with a certain distance between them. Regulus also looked up at the moon, took a deep breath, and said to Luna, "You said you like to see the moon at night, right?"
"Hmm. Luna folded her arms around her knees and nodded.
"My sister Alyssa has also loved the moon since she was a child, and when she cried in my arms when she was a child, she would be quiet as soon as she saw the moon, and she would not cry or make trouble. ”
"You mentioned before that I'm like your sister, what kind of person is she, and where is she now?" asked Luna.
"She died in the battle of Miller to save me. When I was a child, she would always knit bracelets for me out of grass, and the one I carry on my hand now is the one I knitted from memory after she died. Regulus said as he removed the simple bracelet he had worn on his wrist.
"I'm sorry, I ......" Luna realizes that she has touched his sore spot, and buries her head in guilt, her forehead against her knee. Apologizing to a man hadn't been there for her in years.
"It's fine. Regulus was very calm inside, and now he remembered that Alyssa didn't have the same heart-rending pain as before, and he couldn't help but feel that he was a little too unconscionable, so there was a hint of guilt in his tone: "I used to think that you were very much like my sister, because you had the same blonde hair, the same size, and the close connection to the moon, but through spending time with you these days, I found that the two of you are not like each other at all. ”
"She must be much prettier than me, right?" said Luna, subconsciously touching her scar.
"No, you have to be prettier than her, smarter than her. ”
"You're just flattering me, I don't need this kind of compliment!"
"Alyssa, she's not as smart as you, you know how to improvise and disguise yourself in different situations in order to survive. Compared to her, she is too stupid, pitifully stupid, she only knows how to be good to others without reservation, and that person doesn't even notice that she can not even ...... her own life for the sake of his happiness."
"I'm ......" Luna began to feel like she was not at all as good as the sister he said she was talking about, and somehow felt a little jealous of the stupid sister he said had sacrificed for him.
"Still, there is something you have in common. Regulus continued, "You are a very kind man, like her. Even though you disguise yourself with countless masks, I can still see the real you under those masks, the kindest being you love the world deeply. ”
Luna listened to Regulus say this, and she couldn't help but turn away, one hand holding the towel on her chest. Regulus still had his back to her, believing that he could not see the change in the expression on her face now, and that this was the first time she had experienced what it was to be "moved". Looking at Regulus's sturdy back, Luna thought to herself: Can she really trust this man? She had seen too many flamboyant men in the Pearl Academy, how could she be sure that he was different from them?
"You...... I hadn't seen you talk like that when I was in the Pearl Courtyard before......," Luna said as she forced her tone to become haughty again.
"These are all thoughts from my heart, I'll give you this bracelet, I'm penniless, there's nothing to give you, I hope you won't look down on this rag. I used to knit this bracelet to hang Alyssa, but now I have to look forward, and I can say goodbye to the past. Regulus said as he handed the knitted bracelet behind him, but still didn't look back.
"That'...... How can that be done!" Regulus waved her hand in refusal, even though she couldn't see Luna's movements, not taking the bracelet that was handed to her, "This is what you miss, how can I take away your thoughts about Alyssa?"
"Take it, if you still look up to me. Regulus gripped the bracelet with his left hand behind his back, facing Luna's right hand, which he had judged.
Luna had already hurt him once, and it would be a bit unkind to turn him down at this time, after all, Regulus had always said she was a kind person. She stretched out her right hand and put the bracelet on her wrist. The moment her skin touched the bracelet, she felt a cool breath penetrate her body, making her tremble all over.
Unaware of Luna's reaction, Regulus continued, "Even though they told me about the Muen family and the dragon's predators, and thought you were enemies, I would always believe you. ”
"The knight named Danko told you about the Muen family, right?" said Luna, touching the bracelet on her right wrist with her left hand, "That guy is indeed not ordinary, unlike ordinary men, you came to me to ask me for verification, right?"
"It's great if you're willing to tell me, and it will make me know you better, but I won't force you to say what you don't want to say. ”
"I'm the only one of the Muen family's generation. Luna finally opened her mouth to tell her story, and Regulus immediately cheered up and almost wanted to turn away, but the thought that Luna was still only wrapped in a bath towel at this time, which inevitably affected her emotions and caused her to stop telling it after she finally spoke, so she restrained herself for the time being.
