Quick Wear: Driving Gods in a Dark Fairy Tale

Bai Jun listened quietly and said, "Then, Princess, what do you think you did wrong?"

Ai Luo shook his head in pain and said nothing.

"If this question is difficult to answer, then let me put it another way." Bai Jun changed his words and said, "If you have done something wrong, then first of all, you should not feel guilty or blame yourself, but try your best to make up for it and minimize the losses caused by your mistakes."

"Because the wrong thing has already happened, it is an established fact that cannot be changed. No amount of guilt or self-blame can change a thing that has already been done. Instead of wasting this time in self-immersion in pain, it is better to use it to remedy the situation as much as possible."

"Then, even if the rescue you made had little effect on the mistake that had already happened, you can still have a clear conscience."

"Because you tried your best. Didn't you?"

Ai Luo stared at him through the cage, and whispered with pale lips: "Mr. Fate..."

Baijun: "Yes, I'm here."

A faint smile finally appeared in Ai Luo's eyes, "You are always like this."

Bai Junxiang pretended to be puzzled: "Huh?"

"Every time when I was insecure and self-loathing, you always found ways to allay my concerns." Ai Luo sobbed softly, "You are always so considerate and caring for me in every possible way."

Bai Jun: “This is what should be done…”

Arlo interrupted him rudely for the first time, "No, Mr. Fate, nothing in this world should be done - no one should do anything for another person."

Bai Jun raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a gesture of listening attentively.

"I know. I've always known it."

Ai Luo said, "My father treats me well because I am his daughter, the only princess in the Orphir Empire."

Ai Luo's voice was very soft, with a hint of sadness, "The maids are nice to me because I am their master, and they have to be respectful to me."

"It's even easier for other people to be nice to me. I'm the only princess in the Orphir Empire. Apart from my father, no one is superior to me. They are not more noble than me. All they can do is to respect me and please me."

“Actually, I know all this.”

Elor lowered his head slightly, and it was hard to tell what emotion he had under his loose blond hair. "I don't care about any of this."

"Mr. Fate, you may not believe this. There are always so many people around me, and they all say they like me and love me, but I still feel very lonely."

"This feeling of loneliness has been with me since I can remember."

"I have heard that kind of love without any emotion in words too many times. I don't know why there are always people who like to say such hypocritical words in front of me, but I don't want to hear such words again."

"Such superficial and hypocritical liking and love are never nice compliments to me, but sharp swords that pierce my heart."

"Every time I hear it, it feels like a knife is piercing my heart."

"It's like, there's no one in this world who truly loves me."

Baijun: “You didn’t say that to anyone else, did you?”

"Yes," Arlo admitted, "I haven't said that to anyone except you."

Baijun was a little curious, "Why?"

"Because no one except you will listen to what I say." There was a subtle hint of mockery in Ai Luo's tone, "I really hate these hypocritical words."

"But I can't tell anyone because I'm a princess, the most beloved princess in the entire Orphir Empire. I can't say something that goes against my status."

"Because people throughout the empire love me very much."

The thorns on Aurora's body began to loosen gradually and no longer tightly bound her fragile body, but those sharp thorns still left numerous wounds on her body.

The large amount of blood oozing from the wound dyed the pink and purple dress that Aurora was wearing into a dark crimson.

Her face was extremely pale, like a flower that was about to wither after blooming, still beautiful, but unable to hide the bleakness. The tears that kept flowing in her eyes gradually stopped, and when she looked up and saw Bai Jun again, she had already shown him a decent smile.

"But I don't care about these things, or rather, I've long passed the time when I cared about these things."

If you have to care about these things every moment and live in pain, it is better to look at them calmly, pretend that you know nothing, and live happily.

Even just appearing happy is better than being forever in waking misery.

"You're the only one who cared about what I thought all these years."

"You will listen to my boring words carefully and give me your opinions and serious feedback."

Ai Luo seemed to have thought of something interesting. The smile at the corners of his lips deepened, and a faint light flashed in his clear blue eyes.

She complained like a normal girl of her age: "Most of the time, Mr. Fate was very strict with me, especially during etiquette class. It was like you were a completely different person. You were really strict and fierce."

"But I really like you like this. You are different from everyone else I have ever met. You are incredibly real and vivid."

"So, I always can't help wanting to rely on you and be close to you. This will make me feel real and happy, and no longer be a fantasy that I am immersed in."

The little princess had been dreaming about this fantasy for so long that sometimes she couldn't help but take it seriously.

But when the fantasy dream woven with lies was suddenly shattered, the little princess who was immersed in the fantasy was unwilling to wake up again.

Everything in the dream was too beautiful.

The cruelty of reality made her unable to bear it any longer.

Especially when the only light in reality is also taken away.

"I have always agreed with what you said, Mr. Fate. Just as you said, the wrong thing has already happened. Instead of wallowing in the pain, it is better to make up for it as much as possible."

“That’s true most of the time.”

Ai Luo cherished the image of Bai Jun at this moment in his mind, but he had to engrave him in his heart. "But Mr. Fate, the premise of making up for a mistake is to have a chance to make up for it."

"If I accidentally broke a vase, I could choose to buy another one, then calmly confess my mistake and beg for forgiveness."

"But if a unique painting is burned, I can't find a similar one to replace it."

"Because this is something that is fundamentally irreparable, all I can do is repent and apologize."

Ai Luo smiled, tears falling silently again, "Just like I lost you, there will never be another you in the world."
