Chapter 145: The One Who Holds the Torch Will Eventually Come Out of the Dark World (Two in One)
"Chat?"
Charlotte blinked, as if feeling novel about the word.
It's not that she doesn't understand the meaning of this word, it's just that she's grown so big, including her parents, that no one seems to have taken the initiative to mention it and want to "chat" with her.
The palace was full of people, everyone was given their due responsibilities, everyone was very busy, and they didn't have time to talk to her about a few words that had nothing to do with Fengyue.
The first time she took the initiative to be invited to chat, although it was an unsafe area where rocks could fall from the top of her head at any time, Charlotte still had an inexplicable anticipation in her heart.
"Talk....... What? ”
Lynn was silent for a while and asked, "Are you scared now?" ”
Afraid?
Charlotte was slightly stunned, and before she had time to think about it in her brain, she subconsciously replied in the affirmative to the question sentence.
"Uh-huh......."
Lynn asked again, "So what are you afraid of?" ”
"Fear of death, or loss of something else?"
“.......”
Faced with the detailed question, Charlotte opened her mouth, not knowing how to reply.
She scratched her head, rarely in thought.
Afraid of death?
Losing her life was indeed something to be feared, but in fact, she didn't have much practical feelings about this ethereal word.
Because death is often accompanied by pain, but so far on the road of her life, there is no darkness in any place, even in the corners, which have been lit with candles.
As for losing something else.
She thought about it.
She would be sad if the ragdoll hanging on the bed was lost, but that seemed to be an emotion that only arose after it was lost.
To be afraid, it should be to be afraid that it will be lost.
It's just that, if she hadn't thought about it now, before this moment, she wouldn't have thought that the doll would be lost at all.
So, why?
"I ......."
Charlotte pursed her lips, unable to give a specific answer.
"I don't know ......."
Lynn turned his head sideways to look into her eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Then, I'll change the question." ”
"Now we are in a desperate situation, and the chances of going out are very slim, but if you can get out, what is the first thing, or the one thing you want to do the most?"
"What do you want to do the most.......
Charlotte subconsciously met his gaze and immediately turned away.
She bit her lower lip, and after a long time, shook her head: "I, I don't know. ”
“.......”
Lynn looked at the girl, but the girl seemed frustrated that she didn't answer the question, and turned her head to hide her bitter face.
Sighing deeply in his heart, Lynn probably understood what kind of existence the girl around him was.
She has a delicate appearance and a noble identity, but the interior is fragmented and empty, without any thoughts of her own.
She doesn't know what she wants, she doesn't know what the purpose of what she does, her mood fluctuations come entirely from her body's instincts, and it seems that only by listening to what others say can she give meaning to her own existence.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that the barrage said that she might be his partner in the future, which was indeed a very likely thing to happen - to be precise, it was not a partner, but a marriage partner.
The marriages of the nobles are often the product of the combination of interests, combined with the resources owned by both parties, to further expand their influence.
And Charlotte is obviously a very good marriage partner.
Although she doesn't have anything under her control, in fact, she is one of the greatest resources.
According to the barrage, his future may be towards the throne.
But the throne is not for everyone to sit on.
If you want to be crowned king, first of all, you need a [legal principle].
Needless to say, the aristocracy valued fame, and if there was no legal reason, even if they were forced to sit in the position, the so-called "real nobles" would still laugh at it behind their backs as a local dog with a gem on its head.
Some people may say that power is everything, and no one can resist in the face of absolute power, but one set of faces and one set behind the other is also what the nobles are good at.
Bright promised a good result, turn around and do something disgusting, but it's their regular operation.
No matter how strong a person is, he can't stand the first thing he sees when he gets up every day.
Therefore, if you want to master a country, you must have legal principles.
There are two sources of obtaining Jurisprudence.
One is to defeat all of your opponents, as King Norton did, and then go to the center of the empire to be crowned by the gods.
The other is the most basic inheritance.
Inherit the surname, inherit the jurisprudence, inherit the orthodoxy.
In addition to these two, there is actually another one.
Tear the empire by hand and bring yourself the crown....... From ancient times to the present, no one has been able to do this.
Not even Lynn, as the barrage said.
Because the barrage said that he would be the future Emperor of Laiyin.
And since it is in the name of [Laiyin], if you think about it, you should have obtained the [legal principle] of Laiyin.
How do I get it?
Naturally, inheritance is through marriage.
To sum up, as a tool person without a unique core, Charlotte seems to be indeed a good marriage partner.
The premise is that she really doesn't have a mind of her own.
"You seem to ......." Charlotte asked timidly as she looked at Lynn's side face, "disappointed?" ”
"Yes....... For me? ”
Lynn was stunned and subconsciously touched her face.
Has his emotions been exposed to the surface?
"It's not." Charlotte shook her head, "I just....... I felt it. ”
She whispered, "If I can, I'll ask........ Is it because of what? ”
Lynn looked at her slightly aggrieved face and smiled helplessly.
"You may not believe it when you say it, but someone told me that you are going to ........ Probably become my ....... Well, wife. ”
After a pause, he noticed the red glow rising from the girl's cheeks, and immediately changed his words.
"It's probably just a false 'prophecy' that they learned from a stall about bad astronomerism and then concocted it in some high-minded terms, don't you care....... Sorry to offend you, sorry. ”
"No, it's fine."
Charlotte looked over her head and whispered, "That's why you're 'disappointed' in me, aren't you?" ”
"Because, my performance doesn't seem to be as good as you expected?"
Lynn was silent for a while, then said, "Although I don't really believe what they say, their words still have a lot of credibility in my mind because of some previous events, and this time, they are expressing their thoughts to me very formally, and no matter how much I deny it, they still try to explain the 'why' to me." ”
"So, with half-believing attitudes, I've also raised a little curiosity about you."
"I'm curious about my 'wife', what's so special."
Hearing Lynn's words, Charlotte's eyes lowered: "But now, you don't think I'm anything special. ”
"This ........"
"You don't have to say no." Charlotte whispered, "I can feel it." ”
"Actually, I've always been aware of the emotional changes of outsiders."
She looked up and looked into Lynn's eyes like a child wanting an adult's approval.
"Please trust me."
Lynn suddenly remembered the previous scene.
When looking at the mural, Lynn didn't actually feel that there was anything special about the mural, at most it just felt a little weird because of the tension of the picture.
Charlotte, on the other hand, directly captured the kernel of it, and was even affirmed by the "calm version of Yin Weitt".
】
And the talent.
Lynn didn't show her emotions, but she felt it anyway.
In this way, what she said is indeed the truth.
"I believe it."
Hearing the affirmative acknowledgment, the corners of the girl's lips unconsciously rose upward, but they were soon forcibly calmed down again.
"So, you want me to be 'special'?"
"Nope." Lynn shook her head, "You don't need to follow other people's 'hopes' in what direction your actions should go, and even if you need guidance from others, it can't be me." ”
He tilted his head sideways and made eye contact with the girl.
"The first time you open your eyes is daylight, so even though you don't have any specific beliefs or goals, you'll still be blessed by the gentle sun—but I'm not."
"My eyes are black."
Charlotte froze.
Obviously, the young man's words were very calm, but she just felt an overwhelming momentum coming to her face inexplicably.
It wasn't sour, it wasn't grief, it seemed like it was just a simple statement, but inexplicably, a large area of surging and monstrous sadness surged in the girl's heart.
"No, that's not right!" She shouted, "You can! ”
After shouting these words, Charlotte was stunned.
Once again, she showed the stubbornness she shouldn't have.
This is the second time in her sixteen years of life that she has been stubborn.
And the last time, just now.
This is not an abnormal situation.
Because in the palace, she is very sensitive to emotions, and it is easy for her to perceive what other people think about her and what she wants to become.
She did.
Slowly, cowardice became her label, her character.
Being tough is not what she's good at.
But in this short period of time, she unexpectedly hardened.
Or twice.
Why?
This was the first time Charlotte had thought about the purpose of her actions.
Soon, she figured it out.
The first time he forcibly pulled Lynn to leave, it was because of what he said to himself.
"I let you go so you can live!"
It was also Charlotte's first.
For the first time I heard someone in the real "Good" for her. ”
No matter what kind of heart the other party has, or is afraid of trouble or something else, the truth is that he wants to be able to "live." ”
It's not the same as someone else's "I'm good for you, so you're going to do it."
As for the second time, Charlotte hasn't figured it out yet.
She only knew that at this moment, she didn't want to accept the other party's "drawing a line." ”
These two toughness, like peeling an onion, stripped away the cowardice, stripped off the cowering, and showed what only she knew or even didn't know.
After a brief silence, Charlotte plucked up her courage and said, "You just said that you have a lot of confidence in that astronomical art, don't you?" ”
Lynn was slightly stunned, not understanding why she suddenly said this, hesitated for a while, but nodded.
"Yes."
"So, can you tell me what exactly it is?"
"This ......." Lynn opened her mouth, but still didn't say it directly.
What the barrage told him was basically information about Charlotte's final ending, and as mentioned before, Charlotte didn't have a good ending, only the worst end.
"I don't think you should be too willing to know ......."
"No, I do." Charlotte stared into Lynn's eyes and whispered, "I wonder if it will be written astrologically, and I, as a party, will also read this content." ”
Lynn was silent for a moment, and finally said a few words.
In fact, according to the barrage, there are not many "lines" about Charlotte, and it is not complicated.
Loneliness ends in old age, and depression ends;
was abandoned as a tool of failure, and Zisha died;
With Lynn, he abandons his moral values, degenerates into the devil, and goes into madness.
“....... That's pretty much it. Lynn sighed, "There shouldn't be an ending you like." ”
"Well, until then." Charlotte held her head and asked, "So, do you have a favorite?" ”
"Huh?" Lynn was stunned, "This is your ending......."
"yes." Charlotte tilted her head and asked, "So, which do you prefer?" ”
Inexplicably, Lynn also suddenly had a feeling of "I'm choosing a route".
However, the girl's eyes were so burning that he didn't seem to be able to refuse to answer.
"The third one." Eventually, he replied.
"Become the devil together." Charlotte pursed her lips and smiled, "Actually, I chose this too." ”
"Huh?"
"I don't remember who I heard it from, but I remember the saying that when humans take off their coats and reveal their hearts, they are actually like the devil." Charlotte whispered, "We've just taken off our coats and become more calm." ”
Lynn was surprised that she had given such an answer.
The first sentence can be said to be because of others, but the latter sentence is definitely her own perception.
This seems to be a bit different from her performance.
"You ......."
Charlotte didn't say anything more, just silently closed her eyes and hid her face in her curled knees.
Perhaps because she has been burdened with the label given by others for too long, she can hardly find out what kind of person she should be.
According to Lynn's words, she just can't find a small world that belongs to her in this big world.
Now, her world is intruded by outsiders, the fog has quietly faded, and the vision in front of her has gradually become clear.
In the small world built by the crook of her arm, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief, closed her eyes, and suddenly remembered something.
She lived in the palace all year round, rarely going out, and occasionally going out to accompany her sisters to the play or concert.
In the theater, she often hears that some actors will be difficult to break away from a certain role after playing a role for a long time.
Once he wakes up from the play, then that person must gradually sink and become a pathetic coward.
So, do you wake up?
Charlotte didn't know.
She only knew one thing.
She can't sink.
Because she hopes to light the courage and faith she just held into a crimson torch.
"Take it."
She looked forward to telling him that when the time came.
"Those who hold torches will eventually come out of the dark world."
