"You care about them. ”

Tails looked fixedly at the emotionally unstable fast rope: "Your father and brother. ”

Fast Rope was stunned for a moment.

His expression darkened.

"Do you have any family? Tails?"

Tails pursed his lips.

Family.

An indescribable feeling came to my heart.

In those scattered memories, there are probably some.

But here......

Fast Rope raised an eyebrow, remembering something.

"I'm sorry, I forgot," Fastrope waved his hand in the dim light and smiled apologetically, "Of course, this makes you the only heir, with a sensitive identity and attention from all sides." ”

Tails nodded wordlessly.

"But I have. ”

Fast Rope's smile slowly faded: "From the first day I was sensible, I was told: I have a great and wise father, and an exemplary brother. ”

"My father is very strict and cold, and as the monarch of the entire Dragon Realm, he will always have endless government affairs and reasons that cannot be refuted. ”

"The elder brother is very good, dazzling, courageous and capable, experienced in a hundred battles, and his prestige is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. ”

The fast rope moved his shoulder, his face sunk into the darkness that could not be illuminated by the fire, and he did not distinguish his expression: "And I, the second son of King Nunn and the younger brother of Prince Suril......"

He was silent for a moment, then looked up.

"Tails. ”

"With my father and brother so good, I have lived under them for more than ten years, chasing their footsteps and chasing their world, but no matter how hard I work, no matter how well I do in my schoolwork, how much I talk at dinners, and how many prey I hunt down...... But it will never be touched. ”

Tails listened intently, but Fastrope smiled disapprovingly.

"Until the Jinx lady told me ......"

His eyes reflected the light, and there was unspeakable emotion in them.

"I am his younger brother, born to assist and serve him, Suril is destined to become the Grand Duke of Longxiao City, and even the King of Exeter, I will respect him from the bottom of my heart, obey him, be loyal to him, and be his help and arm. ”

"I can only follow the rules, complete my schoolwork properly, grow up, become an adult, and be an ordinary, ordinary, not outstanding or bad Northland nobleman, that's enough. ”

Fast Rope took a deep breath, and there was an imperceptible banter in his tone.

"When I reach adulthood, as the younger brother of the future king, I will have a small fief of my own, divided as a baron or even a viscount, with my own surname, my own family, bathed in the glory of the dragon lance branch, or as a pawn in marriage, under the watchful eye of the king, to take a wife, have children, die of old age, and wait for posterity to write my name between the two genealogies. ”

"Any transgression and disrespect is wrong, and if I show too prominently, too abnormally, people will wonder if there are dissenting courtiers who are secretly instigating me. ”

Tails looked at the fast rope and tried to imagine the former Moral prince.

"That's the first half of my life, and what I thought I'd have, my life. "The fast rope was restored to its original state, and it was authentic without emotion.

Silent.

"But it didn't last, did it," Tails picked up softly in the silence:

"Accidents always come suddenly. ”

The fast rope turned to him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Yes, that's what you think," the former prince said lightly:

"Eighteen years ago, on that night on the eve of the war, I was taken out of the castle by Nicolai and his guards in my sleep, and I thought that I would return to Longxiao City for the rest of my life. ”

Fast Rope's gaze froze in the air, and his tone was hollow.

"Suril was lying there. ”

Tails sighed, remembering the eldest son of Nunn in the mouths of many.

"Yes, that Surir, the brother whom I had admired and revered, and whom I had ashamed of and resented, lay quietly in the Hall of Heroes, motionless and pale, with gold covering his eyes, and his sword in his hand. ”

"We are very different in age, and we don't usually talk much, but I think it was the closest and most unconnected contact between us. ”

"On that day, the once majestic father seemed to be twenty years old, and in the face of his second son, who had always been indifferent and laissez-faire, he said a lot, from the power of the king, to the relationship between the grand dukes, and the attitude towards the vassals, including the upcoming war...... But I didn't listen to a word, and my mind was filled with Suril's pale face. ”

"That night, I became the first heir. ”

Tails sighed softly, and for some reason, he remembered the day he was in the Fuxing Palace and was recognized as the second prince of the Star Kingdom.

"For the first ten years of your life, everyone reprimanded you for being a obedient and obedient teenager who must not go beyond the rules, and after one night, everyone turned their heads and forced you to become a wise prince of great talent. ”

Fast Rope's words were lifeless, lifeless, with a touch of irony: "Damn fate, after I experienced doubts, envy, jealousy, resentment, pain, unwillingness, and finally abandonment and relief, once again dramatically befell me. ”

He sneered.

"But you know, what did I see in that seat, in that hell?"

Tails looked up and looked into Fastrope's eyes.

"Twisted. The former Moral prince had a cold face and spat out these two words.

"Conkley Piffett, the boy from Beacon City, who used to have no heart and lungs, and grew up with me, I don't know when he began to become suspicious, preoccupied, and spoke in a secretive and hypocritical manner," said Kuairope silently:

"I tried to approach him as a friend, but ...... Ever since Conkley's grandfather and father died, since he became the young Grand Duke of Fengzhao City, since I became the heir of Longxiao City, there was something more indescribable in his eyes when he looked at me. ”

Tails frowned, and the hysteria and painful confession of Grand Duke Pellet at the end of the duel appeared before his eyes.

"When my father beat him, I persuaded him, and I took the initiative to ask Ying to persuade Fengzhaocheng," the fast rope trembled slightly:

"But no matter how hard I tried, how I expressed my sincerity and apologies, how I assured him that I would definitely ...... Conkley's smile was devoid of warmth, hatred, jealousy, madness, these were the things I could decipher from him, and we could no longer drink as freely as we used to. ”

His last few words were full of desolation.

"As for Chaman Rumba, when I first met him after the war, I understood. ”

Fast Rope chuckled: "The calm and gentle cousin Chaman who used to behave well is no longer there, there is only dead silence and pain in his eyes, emptiness and indifference, and only the taciturn and cherished words of the Black Sand Grand Duke are left in his body, as if the ghosts of his relatives still hang over his head for a long time." ”

"Every time I talk to him, I shudder, either I'm talking to a dead man, or I'm a dead man in his eyes. ”

Tails remembered the Black Sand Grand Duke flickering in the firelight, and clenched his fists.

"Twist, Tails, twist. The sound of the fast rope echoed.

"They were all twisted, captured, including my father and brother, Tails, captured by power, enslaved, and lost. ”

The former Prince Exeter said coldly: "In that chain, they have become something else, indifferent tools, cold-blooded scum, suspicious tyrants, but they are no longer themselves. ”

Tails froze.

A conversation from a long, long time ago resounded in his mind.

[It is not those calamities that are truly terrible and terrifying. 】

[but ourselves]

[It's us ordinary people...... What kind of depravity it has become, how far it has been corrupted, and what kind of sacrifice it has become. 】

"Because if you're going to get into this circle, Tails, or even climb to the top," Fastrope's tone snapped:

"The first thing to do is to bow down, open your mind and body, let their world and ideas, rule all of you, and turn you into something you don't even recognize, only then can you start playing this game and have a good time. ”

"I hear you've been recovered from the folk, Tails," Quickrope called softly, calling Tails back from his musings and trance:

"Then answer me, think about it, what has become of you after you became a prince?"

"Can you still choose your own path, follow your own heart?"

"After becoming a prince," Fast Rope's words were like a sharp knife, straight into Tails' heart: "Are you still yourself, or Tails?"

"Or is it already ...... Became something else?"

"What did you gain and what did you lose?"

Tails listened quietly.

[Monty, you know, I suddenly found that I ...... I barely recognize you. 】

[Hahahaha, thorn head...... Not only you, many times, I look at this man in the mirror, and I almost can't recognize who he is. 】

Thinking of this, he subconsciously tightened the JC dagger behind his waist.

The dagger that came out of the abandoned house.

His once.

His past.

After a few seconds, Tails shook his head with a silent expression.

"I don't know. He said with difficulty.

"What do you say?"

Fast Rope laughed.

"Just like you," the former prince knocked on the wall and leaned back stiffly, "I don't know. ”

"But I know...... How will this end. ”

Fast Rope's gaze converged, blazing.

"I don't know how Suril died, and no one told me what that strange hunt was about, but since becoming the damned heir, I think I understand: Suril is destined for his end. ”

"Not because of some person, some conspiracy, some accident, but because he sat in this seat, and because Suril was born in it, and in it, his decisiveness, ruthlessness, and ambition were all signs, when he was accustomed to walking in the dark, in the subterfuge, in politics, in the battlefield, in the wind and frost of the dragon kingdom, climbing the snowy peaks...... Then he will die one day, sooner or later, not this time, or next time, and his way of life will one day be reversed and swallow up his life. ”

Tails took a deep breath.

Roll upside down and devour life.

The Dead Crow's comments on Surir were still vivid, but the words of the fast rope made him understand more.

"It has nothing to do with your strength, Tails, on the contrary, the more power you have, the tighter and deeper the chains, the more you can't break free. ”

Fast Rope looked at him coldly: "It's like our father." ”

"It's like Chaman Rumba now. ”

The room was quiet again.

A corpse and two people with special identities, just like that, relatively silent in the moonlight and lights.

"That's it?"

After a moment, Tails spoke abruptly.

"That's why you're changing?"

"Is that the whole reason for you to leave?"

Tails let go of the dagger behind his waist and sighed, "Whether it's King Nunn or Pefit, there's always a girl involved when they tell me your story. ”

The fast rope moved slightly.

He walked away from the wall and sat upright unconsciously.

"If you heard it from them," a rare smile appeared on Fast Rope's face, "Probably nothing good to say." ”

Tails raised an eyebrow: "So?"

Fast Rope paused for a moment, then looked at the Star Prince with a strange look, his tone deep and soft.

"Tails, you're not very old, but...... Have you ever been in love with someone, or have you ever been loved by someone?"

I only heard the fast rope and said lightly: "Sometimes, the feelings of youth are more unforgettable." ”

Tails just wanted to shake his head.

But at that moment, he remembered a voice.

It was a soft, beautiful female voice that only appeared in fragments.

[What?......?

His body stiffened, stopping him from shaking his head.

[Then are we cheating now......]

The voice that made him tremble and suffer unconsciously every time it appeared.

The voice he could never remember his master's name.

She?

Tails shuddered slightly.

"Maybe," Tails said subconsciously, nodding in a trance, "Maybe." ”

She.

The moonlight shone down on the room, as if gently caressing the two silent people.

Fast rope looked at the prince for a long time, and finally showed a shallow smile.

"That's good. ”

Fastrope folded his arms and withdrew his gaze from Tails to the moonlight outside the broken window.

"Whoever cares, or is cared for......"

Just listen to him say quietly:

"It's all a kind of happiness. ”
