Chapter 222: The Gray Dove
In the next room, Ivan was stunned.
He subconsciously took a step back and stuck to the wall. There was no fireplace in the room, and the walls were as cold as ice, yet sweat broke down his forehead.
Through a thick wall and the howling north wind outside the window, there were many sounds that he did not hear clearly. He heard Angel and the raven talking, like a play, sometimes loud and sometimes whispering.
Angel says that Raven is the son of Vincent's "uncle".
Angel called Vincent her uncle, and she used to ...... Ivan couldn't connect that fair-skinned girl with burns. She doesn't seem to be able to walk, as if she has been sick for a long time, but burns?
Ivan now hated himself for not having checked the history of the kingdom of Ora before he came, and he couldn't figure out what had happened. All he knew was that there had been a coup d'état in the kingdom of Aura. After the coup d'état, Vincent took the throne, and the New Magical Revolution was able to take place in Shunlì, the kingdom of Aura.
"Her Royal Highness Angel", who calls Vincent her uncle, what should her identity be?
At this time, he shouldn't continue to listen to it, the ominous premonition pierced his veins like a tiny needle, and it seemed that something very amazing would happen next door, and once he was involved, he could never turn back.
......
Angel's answer left people speechless.
"Actually, I knew about Rey's brother from the beginning, but I was still young at the time, so I didn't think about it that much. Brother Rey is very good to me, and I'm very happy when I'm with Brother Rey!"
Angel's smiling face was as pure and sweet as it was back then, like a young rose, and the crow lowered her eyebrows, silently looked at her for a moment, and reached out to help her straighten her long hair that was blown by the wind.
"I'm also very happy. He said.
"Isn't it a lie?"
“...... No. ”
Although at this moment, for Rey...... That is, for the crow, recalling those simple and beautiful pictures, the pain comparable to drowning will far outweigh the happiness that remains in the memory. It's like a person who tears up his beloved beautiful picture with his own hands, and thinks about the beauty of that picture, even if it is painful, he has to admit that it is a beautiful thing.
Although it was over, when I first met Angel, I played with Angel, watching her bright smiling face, kicking the playful movements of her little leather shoes, and listening to her cute coquettish voice...... The feeling of wanting to cherish her that welled up from the bottom of my heart was not half false.
In the days when he was deprived of his freedom, if Angel had not stretched out his immature little hand to him in the cage, would he have exploded because he couldn't bear it? At least when the end day came, he would not have hesitated for a moment, and he would have let the blade of revenge simply destroy him, without hesitation.
Angel is like an angel who brings light to him, however, he hurts the angel and causes the angel to fall into the fire of pain, never to return.
"Brother Rey has lied to me for so long, I don't believe it!" Angel pouted angrily as she waved the crow's hand away.
"Do I have to lie to you now?" said Raven with a wry smile. It's been so long, the lives lost and the beauty that have passed away are irretrievable, what else do you need to cover up with lies?
"Hmm...... That's right. Angel seemed to approve of the raven's statement, and she pondered for a moment, stretching widely.
"Still, I can't believe Brother Rey. Brother Rey, you promise me one thing first. Angel lowered her arms, her expression slightly serious.
"What's the matter?" the crow leaned over as if interested in her request.
"Take me back to Oder. Angel said.
At the foot of Angel's bed, the gray dove was no longer spinning around, and it stared at the crow with a pair of round purple eyes. The crow sighed softly, leaned back, and stretched out her hand towards the dove.
"It's no problem to take you back to Ode City, but is it really good to go back? Aren't you afraid of being recognized?"
"Don't be afraid!" Angel moved closer, raising her face to stare at the crow, "Ode City is where I met Brother Rey, my happiest memories are all there, I want to go back!"
The dove jumped towards the crow's hand, and suddenly, as if the well-behaved pigeon had become ruthless, flapped its wings and pecked the crow's finger hard, and the sheepskin glove cracked a hole, and blood oozed from the mouth, but the crow only frowned, and then, as if he didn't care, chuckled.
"Where we stayed...... It's been burned down, and even the ruins have been cleaned up, so what are you going to do when you go back?"
"I, I'm going back, I'm going back to—"
Angel's breathing became rapid, and her eyes involuntarily aimed at the back of her hand. The crow turned to look at her, sat upright, and curled her bleeding fingers into her palm.
"Angel, your pigeon, not your ordinary pigeon. ”
Angel's eyes widened sharply.
"Pigeons don't fly out at night, they can't see. This pigeon of yours...... Well, I've seen it several times. When I came, it was standing on the roof, and I grabbed it. The crow said, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the purple-eyed gray pigeon with its tilted head and pretending to be innocent, "Moreover, the pigeon will not have eyes of this color." ”
"Ah......h
Angel looked very regretful.
The pigeon jumped up and landed on Angel's knee, who raised her hand and stroked its feathers.
Actually, that's right. It's eyes...... Because it was blind, the kind people made a new pair of eyes for it. These are a great pair of eyes!"
Angel narrowed her eyes and smiled hard.
"I can see things even at night, just like my eyes. If it weren't for that kind man, Momora and I would never see Brother Rey again. I've always wanted to see Brother Rey!" Angel's eyes snapped open, her purple eyes glowing like glass beads, "I can't see anymore, when I was in the church, I couldn't see." I think Brother Rey must have wanted to burn me, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to move. ”
"......" The crow's expression suddenly became extremely bitter.
The arson was Vincent's attendant in the palace, with a few guards and a few servants. They can't get close to Charles, but they can create the necessary chaos after Charles' death. The raven did not know about these things until he was later taken out of the palace.
Thinking that in addition to Charles's people in those five years, there might have been his own father's eyeliner watching him, Raven didn't know whether he should be rejoicing or annoyed. Vincent didn't lie to him, but there were many things, and Vincent never intended to sue him for this son from the beginning.
Even so, Raven felt that at least in the moment he faced Charles, he had done nothing wrong.
