I met true love in my dream

The sky is gray, and the twinkling stars seem to be covered by black clouds, and they have fallen into the darkness of eternal night.There were chaotic noises, scattered and hurried footsteps, and the adults shouted and cursed with horror and hatred.

"Where is that demon? Where did he hide?"

"Find out that evil thing quickly!"

"Find it! Find it quickly!"

He hid behind the box, hugged his knees tightly, and tried to make himself smaller so that he could not be seen easily.His body was trembling, and the sound of his heart beating seemed to be transmitted from the eardrum to his ears, each sound getting louder than the sound.

Never be found out...

Never...

Boom!

Boom!

dong dong!

crunch--

The door was pushed open.

He held his breath, tears kept streaming from his eyes under extreme fear, his whole body was cold, he stared at the front, and as the sound of flapping in his ears got closer, his body became more and more tense.

The box was pushed open, and his figure was completely exposed. He opened his eyes wide, watching the tall man with a face of excitement mixed with disgust.

"found it."

It was clearly dark night, but it was extremely bright outside. He was dragged into the middle of the crowd, and no matter how much he resisted, he couldn't escape the strong arms of the men. After all, he was just a child.

Under the bright lights and flames, everyone was clearly reflected in his eyes—the distorted, hostile, resentful, disgusted gazes were like a knife stabbing into his body.

He kept struggling and screaming.

"It's noisy, let him shut up." Someone said so.

The red-hot soldering iron was still sizzling, emitting a puff of white smoke.His arms were pulled apart, his feet were held down, and his mouth was forcibly opened by someone. He looked like a dying beast, surrounded by man-eating beasts, a black vortex Devour him slowly.

The soldering iron comes in—

call--

Yue Ze suddenly sat up from the bed, his eyes widened to the limit, his pupils constricted, and he kept panting heavily. The fear in his dream still remained in his mind, and his hands and feet trembled.

It's been... three years since then.

After a long time, he got off the bed, and by the window he could see the castle a few hundred meters away, which was the residence of His Highness.Thinking of His Highness's soft eyes today, my mood miraculously calmed down.

I really want to see His Highness... I really want to keep looking at His Highness...

The voice from the depths of his heart was like a spell, echoing in this silent night, Yue Ze covered the position where his heart was, where the organs were beating alive, showing some unspeakable thoughts.

For the first time, the first time I want to grasp something.The darkness of the night sky was reflected in the dark green pupils, and a trace of life was slowly injected into the lifelessness.

It was the first time for Chu Muyu to wake up so early, because today he was going to inspect the territory, which was a duty he had to perform as a city lord.

The clothes are extremely formal and luxurious, with gold-threaded eight-pointed star patterns embroidered on the cuffs and the edges of the clothes, and a bowknot at the bow tie with a royal blue precious gem. On one side is a dark black cloak, which interprets " I'm rich, I'm great" these eight words.

Chu Muyu stared in front of the mirror for a few minutes, and said without shame that he really liked this kind of clothes, they were full of style, and the atmosphere of the second class was quite strong, which was the rhythm of a winner in life.Just a little older.

Yue Ze and Forsythen were already waiting outside in the carriage, and Willie, Mira and Ender were also with them.The space of the carriage is very large, and the interior decoration is also very delicate, enough to seat five or six adults.So besides Chu Muyu and Mira, Yue Ze and Forsythein also sat in the carriage.

Mira was introducing him to the destination of the tour.Starry Night City is very large. Apart from the central urban area, there are many territories. These territories are assigned to the nobles. The lords formulate various systems and decide the taxes to be collected according to the actual situation of the territories.

The place they are going to this time is Bustan, which is the second busiest place after the central city of Starry Night City. Of course, there is a more important reason for coming here. The nobles who govern this territory are the Barus family.

The speed of the carriage was not slow, and Chu Muyu could see the scenery along the way from outside the curtain.Bustan is also a fairly large city. They should be in the urban area now. The streets are full of shops and well-decorated food stores. People walking on the streets are all dressed in neat and decent clothes, and they are bustling.

Willie, who was riding on horseback, showed a heavy expression when he saw such a scene. Hidden under the beautiful and gorgeous exterior was an inner shell that had begun to rot and maggots. Over time, this beautiful shell would slowly Corroded away, eventually turned into a puddle of garbage.

The rule of the Barus family is extremely distorted and cruel. This is a rich area where only the rich are allowed to live. The poor are driven to the suburbs to work hard and hard. They are forced to pay high taxes for the high-ranking nobles. They live a luxurious life.

Chu Muyu knew about the Barus family from Mira. This is a noble with a long history. It can be regarded as one of the earliest nobles who followed the Chu family. They have always been loyal to the city lord.However, in this generation, favorable factors from the outside world and the expansion of ambition have led to the current leader of the Barus family, John Barus, beginning to rule and profligate without scruple.

Today's Bustan is a hidden danger to Starry Night City.

It was already evening when the carriage arrived at the mansion of the Barus family. John came to greet him in person. He was a muscular middle-aged man with brown curly hair, with smiling eyes, and he was very respectful to Chu Muyu. Of course, he was just pretending. Not necessarily.

"It is a great honor for Your Highness to condescend to come to your mansion in person. Please forgive me if the hospitality is not good enough."

Chu Muyu smiled lightly: "I'm looking forward to it."

It was not the first time for John to see this Highness, but the two young boys behind him were very unfamiliar. They were His Highness's personal knights, and they were all young children.

Although there was some disdain in his heart, John concealed it very well. After all, there were Willie and Ender. No one dared to underestimate them, because Mira had hardly shown her face outside, so John was not familiar with the maid, but Because the other party's beautiful appearance made him look a few more times.

The mansion was very large, the gate was open, and there were neatly lined up maids standing on both sides. As soon as they entered, the maids bowed down to say hello.Looking at it with a fixed eye, the inside of the mansion is simply resplendent, with bright crystal lamps hanging above the head, lamps made of gold agate are hung on the wall as decorations, and spiral stairs connect the second floor, which is covered with flowers made of some kind of animal. Carpet made of fur.The long tables in the hall are filled with all kinds of delicacies, which are enough for a party.

Chu Muyu was also shocked, everything in front of him was extravagant to the extreme, even if he was the lord of Starry Night City, he would not have lived such a life, and John Barrus presented all this to him indifferently, in a sense Said, he didn't take him seriously at all.

John smiled and stretched out his hand to pull away the chair, "Because of the hasty preparation, please forgive the crudeness of these foods, Your Highness."

Mira pulled away the chair, Chu Muyu sat on it, and the corners of his mouth twitched symbolically. This is still called crude, so did he eat pig food before?No matter how respectful he pretended to be, John Barus actually didn't take him seriously.

"Go and call Manphyllia down." John said to the maid on the side.

Chu Muyu knew that John had two children, son Columbarus and daughter Manphyry Barus.Mrs. Barrus and her son Colum went out to play in the city some time ago, and Manfili was still at home.

"Manfeili is a bit naughty, please forgive me, Your Highness," John said.

"Father."

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl came down the stairs, with long brown curly hair, fair skin, wearing a pink dress, with a somewhat displeased expression on her pretty face.

She saw Chu Muyu, with curious gazes in her eyes, and looked at this boy who looked younger than her: black hair was softly draped over his shoulders, his skin was snow-white, and his eyes were pitch-black. nice.She immediately thought of the little prince in the fairy tale book.

At the second glance, what she saw was the little boy with blond hair and blue eyes standing behind the "little prince" and the strange boy with hair covering his eyes.

Manfeili held the hem of the skirt with both hands and lifted it up, bent her knees slightly, and gave an elegant ladylike salute, "Good evening, Your Highness."

Chu Muyu nodded, showing a faint smile: "Hello."

Man Feili sat across from him very excitedly, and asked, "Your Highness, is that your personal knight behind you?"

Chu Muyu nodded, "Yes, this is Forsythein, and this is Yue Ze."

The two saluted slightly.

Manfeili blinked her eyes wide: "Wow, it feels like they are all so powerful, they obviously look smaller than me."

Chu Muyu raised the corner of his mouth, "Well, they are all very powerful."

Yue Ze stared intently at Chu Muyu's back, and felt his heart skip a beat when he heard these words.

John pampered this daughter very much. Although he reminded him not to be rude to His Highness, there was no sense of blame in his tone.

"I don't know what your Highness's plan is tomorrow, do you need my company?"

Chu Muyu: "Thank you for your kindness, but I still hope to have a look around by myself."

John will not be present on his schedule tomorrow.

However, Chu Muyu looked at the snow sturgeon on the dining table with a cold scrutiny in his eyes, and his tone was not salty: "This snow sturgeon is only found under the glaciers in the extreme north, and it is extremely precious. I am in the castle. It’s also rare to see it, but I didn’t expect that there would be several casual games here, it seems that the Bruce family really piled up like money as the rumors said.”

He was clearly a child who sat no higher than his shoulders, but under those dark eyes, John's heart skipped a beat and he felt an inexplicable palpitation.
