Life and Death of His Highness the Prince of Songs

Under the lazy winter sun, the trees decayed to the point where only bare branches remained. Occasionally, a few winter birds stayed above, quietly scanning the surroundings, and soon flapped their wings and flew freely to the far south.

Li Yue stared out of the window, her eyes were empty, no one knew what she was thinking, she woke up every day, as long as she was alone, she would choose to maintain this action, this state, until the sunset, like a person who had left Like the migratory birds in the team, they fell alone in the wasteland where no one has been looking for.

"Female..." Camus pushed open the door, paused for a while, and then called out: "Yue, you have something to eat."

Li Yue, who was half leaning on the bed pillow, turned her head to look at Camus who was squatting beside the bed, and nodded obediently. She took the porridge that Camus handed over, and quietly took a mouthful of it with a spoon.

Camus also looked at her quietly, then stood up suddenly, opened the half-closed door and walked out. Li Yue followed Camus's figure with suspicious eyes, and saw him close the door carefully. It fell into silence for a short time.

Hot tears fell on the back of his hand, and Li Yue quickly put down the bowl in his hand, pulled off the quilt covering his body, stepped on the ground with bare feet, walked around on the ground, and when he was about to touch the door, he suddenly turned his back and leaned against the back of the door , sliding down to the ground along the ice.

She has accepted the fact that Mikaze Lan disappeared and Kisaragi Aine came back to life.But she couldn't face the fact that she had changed her face, she was just hesitating, would Aine Kisaragi have the memory of Mikaze Lan more than a year later, and even if she did, would she be able to accept her different face?

When Li Yue woke up in the hospital a few days ago, the Kisaragi Aine she saw smiled so strangely at her, and at the same time was so different from the Feng Lan she liked.

That person's smile was too soft, too warm, with a touch of alienation that almost confused her with Shou Linger in her memory.And the Feng Lan she likes should be jerky and unnatural, but it can make her feel a smile without the slightest estrangement.

Camus, who walked out of Li Yue's bedroom, turned and went into the kitchen. He opened the refrigerator and took out a jar of honey. He stood there blankly for a while, then took out the bowl in the hanging cabinet, poured half a bag of sugar and the cold honey in his hand. Honey, mixed it with a spoon for a long time, and stuffed all the high-sugar mixture into his stomach abruptly, but before he finished drinking, he suddenly threw the bowl to the ground as if going crazy, and then fell down with his head down. Touching the ground, he roared silently.

He is regretting, regretting over and over again, regretting that he shouldn't be soft-hearted and send Qi Yue to Japan, regretting not letting her see Kisaragi Aine, and regretting the most, more than a year ago, he should not have selfishly sent her to Japan. Qi Yue was imprisoned in the lie he forged for her.

That lie was - to deceive Li Yue into becoming Her Royal Highness the Queen.

In fact, it is true that Her Royal Highness died, the story of Her Royal Highness being obsessed with a prodigal son is true, and it is even more true that Her Highness saved Camus and then saved Qi Yue.

The reason why Camus rescued Li Yue was actually to repay the knife she received from the assassin for him.

The reason for the lie was actually that Camus wanted to calm down Li Yue, who was calling Feng Lan every day, because she was always delirious and walked around regardless of her injuries, so he lied to the innocent her, and then It started with the act of calling her Her Majesty the Queen as soon as she saw her.

His love for a long time was beyond his expectation, even though he knew from the very beginning that Li Yue's heart was on another person, but he, who had never been so cared about by anyone before, still couldn't control himself and froze her for a long time love.

When Li Yue appeared at the door of the kitchen, she cried out in surprise when she saw Camus' hands stuck in the broken porcelain. She hurriedly helped Camus up and asked, "What's wrong? He fell to the ground suddenly ...Um...?"

Before Li Yue could finish her questioning, she was suddenly picked up by Camus, and she saw Camus glance coldly at her bare feet, which were bruised from stepping on the splashed porcelain fragments. bleeding.

But Li Yue didn't feel anything about the injury, she tried to struggle, because she was still thinking about Camus's scarred palm, but when Camus looked at her with unprecedented cold eyes, she calmed down, Don't dare to make him angry.

As soon as she returned to the bedroom, Li Yue was thrown forcefully onto the bed. She looked at the changed Camus in a daze, not understanding why his emotions became so intense.

She woke up three days ago and was taken home in the afternoon. Since that day, the two of them have barely had a conversation. An unexplainable awkwardness has lain between the two of them, and no one has explained it, let alone Go poke it.

"The doctor said you were running away, so you couldn't wake up," Camus looked at Li Yue who was sitting up, and asked abruptly, "What are you running away from?"

"Your hand, Camus, you go first..." Li Yue seemed to be selectively deaf. She got out of bed in a hurry, but was pushed back when her feet just touched the ground.

Camus put his hands on the bed on both sides of Li Yue's cheeks, separated by a palm distance, and said coldly: "I'm asking you something."

Qi Yue: "Ka..."

"I said, I'm asking you something!" Camus punched the pure white quilt, and the blood in the palm print gradually seeped into the fabric along the skin, which was very dazzling.

"I'm sorry, I... I don't know, I'm sorry..." Li Yue didn't dare to look at Camus, her body trembled timidly and unnaturally, looking as fragile as a fragile porcelain doll.

"Do you still like Meifenglan?" Camus locked Li Yue's chin with his hands, forcing her to look at him, and he was ready to break the jar to cut off his pain in advance.

After hearing the word Meifenglan, Li Yue couldn't control the pain in her heart. She closed her eyes in a panic, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I don't know, I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

"You know, you clearly know, you clearly know that Kisaragi Aine is not Mikaze Lan in your memory, you clearly know, right, right?" Camus yelled loudly and sat up, clasping his hands Li Yue's shoulders were shaking vigorously, trying to use this method to break Li Yue's evasive psychology.

Li Yue waved away Camus's hands vigorously, her eyes became like a pool of stagnant water, and she smiled sadly and said, "You know it, you know it from the beginning, you promised me to come to Japan just to let me see Clear up this fact, right? From the very beginning, you wanted to make me give up, you wanted to let me break that concern, you wanted me to stop thinking about anyone outside the palace, and then I could become The replacement of Her Majesty the Queen you hoped for, I, I, Li Yue, is nothing but a ridiculous..."

"Pa——" loud applause echoed in the closed room, and Camus hung his hands in the air stiffly, with a dull expression that seemed to be disbelieving what he had done.

He glanced at Li Yue, and at Li Yue, who was pale but full of anger, a burst of fatigue hit his heart, he slumped his shoulders wearily, closed his eyes wearily, and asked himself as lightly as breathing: "Why?" , why, why..." Gradually, each sound became louder, and when the volume of the voice was close to hysteria again, he opened his eyes and asked loudly: "Why do I let myself fall in love with you, why can you be like A ghost is always lingering in my mind? Why can't you see it? I died for you several times, why can't you feel it? Why are you so slow? Why do you always look innocent and idiot thinking I just treat you as Her Majesty the Queen? Go to the fucking country, what do you think those are, they are all lies to you, they are all lies to you! You stupid woman! Stupid woman!"

Camus was trembling with anger, he got out of bed with extreme pain, rushed to the bedroom door and slammed it away.Just when he almost lost his mind and vented his emotions like two weeks ago and was about to leave, his wrist was grabbed by Li Yue who was hurriedly chasing up, and then he heard Li Yue's trembling voice almost crying explain:

"I'm sorry, Camus, I'm sorry, let's stop talking to each other, okay, I'm sorry."

"Ranmaru? Ranmaru?" Shou Linger unlocked the door lock of Kurosaki Ranmaru's apartment, called twice to the back room, looked around for a while, but saw darkness.

Relying on the faint light coming in from the gap in the curtains, he avoided the messy wine bottles and the clothes lying on the ground.This messy scene made him a little intolerable, so he cleaned up all the way, until the living room was cleaned up, he took a deep breath and opened a closed bedroom door.

There was a smell of alcohol rushing towards him, Shou Linger kept waving his hand in front of his cheek, he quickly walked around to the French window, opened the curtains and windows quickly, and let the morning light flood into the room.

"Kurosaki Ranmaru, why are you like this again? Two days ago, you suddenly thought about it and took care of your slovenly appearance, but it didn't take long before you left yourself as a corpse in the darkness, huh?" Shou Linger bent down and shook Kurosaki Ranmaru who covered the quilt over his head vigorously. He really couldn't stand his dying look.

Over the past year, he had personally watched him become decadent day by day. Although he didn't know exactly what stimulated him, he guessed carefully that it might have something to do with that woman named Qi Yue.

"Ah, close the curtains..." Kurosaki Ranmaru curled up all over, and the voice through the quilt was muffled, full of tiredness.

Shou Ling Er: "You should get up, if you continue like this, you will really get autism, if it weren't for the patience of our few friends who often brought you food, I think no one would even know you died, I... ..."

"It's so noisy! I told you to close the curtains, and then get out of here. I never asked you anything, get out of here!" Kurosaki Ranmaru couldn't listen to Shou Lingji's earnest words, and he became emotional He didn't care about venting so much, and even lifted the quilt covering his body, and threw it forcefully towards Shou Ling Er who was beside the bed.

"You...okay," Shou Linger took a deep breath, and then said calmly, "If you were the Kurosaki Ranmaru I knew back then, you shouldn't be here complaining about yourself like a wimp , if you are still the Kurosaki Ranmaru I met at the beginning, you should go and confess your feelings to that woman now. I don’t understand how you suddenly changed because of that woman I have no memory of, but since that day I I went to visit Shibuya, who was sick in the hospital. I happened to see you go to the door of that woman’s ward, hesitating for a long time like a little daughter-in-law and then hid. I knew that person must be unusual to you. Let me tell you, I once let a friend commit suicide in front of my eyes, so now I must stop you from killing yourself like the friend I once did, especially in this slow suicide that tortures my conscience even more! I tell you, I take care of your business, "Shou Linger forcefully dragged Kurosaki Ranmaru off the bed, he didn't care how embarrassed Kurosaki Ranmaru was when he was dragged to the point of wrestling, he pushed Kurosaki Ranmaru onto the sink after he walked to the bathroom , he turned on the light on the wall, pointed to the mirror and continued: "Look at your own ghostly appearance, ask yourself, do you still recognize yourself!"

"Ling... Linger...you are..." Tsukimiya Ringo entered Kurosaki Ranmaru's apartment at some time, holding a few plastic bags full of things in her hands, and stared at the angry Shouling in dumbfounded. .

"It's nothing." Hearing Yuegong Ringo's voice, Shou Linger let go of the hand that was pinching the back of Kurosaki Ranmaru's neck, shook his palm twice, and picked up the coat hanging on the sofa in the living room without looking back. walked out.

"Ling Er, Ling Er, where are you going...? Hey..." Ringo Yuegong wanted to chase after Shou Ling Er, but when he saw Kurosaki Ranmaru who fell on the ground as if fainted, he had no choice but to withdraw his feet. Hastily helped Kurosaki Ranmaru up.

"What's going on, everyone has become so strange these days..." Yuegong Lingo couldn't help muttering.
