Everyday people covet my beauty

Not far in front of her, the pale, transparent Alexander was floating there out of thin air, watching her with a smile.

"Olivia."

He opened his mouth and made such a mouth shape to her. Olivia faintly heard a familiar voice sounding, vaguely like an echo, like a bright moon in the water or a phantom in mid-air, and his whole body The same, all appear so pale and transparent, as if they would be blown away by a gust of wind.

She covered her mouth with her hands, and took a step back in a daze. With a soft "click", Olivia's waist hit something hard, and the unexpected pain caused her feet to stagger slightly. reclined.Alexander's phantom quickly floated to her side, reaching out his hand to help her, but his pale and dim arm passed her arm, like a cool mist blowing through the flowers.

Olivia shivered slightly.

"...I...did I freeze you?" Alexander floated his hands on the spot at first, looking very at a loss.He raised his hand, looking like he wanted to touch the hair hanging from Olivia's ear, but just as he stretched his hand halfway, Alexander suddenly remembered that he was no longer qualified to touch his wife.

He dropped his hands.For some reason, this action broke Olivia's heart.

"Alexander..."

She murmured the name.Her husband, a great man who was born to be a king, the extremely proud Aldington, who never bowed his head even in the midst of all kinds of difficulties and obstacles... Has he ever been so embarrassed in his life?He used to decide the rise and fall of most of the universe with a single word, but now he can't even do anything about a strand of his wife's sideburns.How could the high-spirited man back then who wanted to compete with the temple end up in this situation...

"Are you sad, Olivia?"

Alexander floated to her side, and Olivia had to notice that he could only float. His feet wearing exquisite leather boots still looked powerful, but they could only walk through the void meaninglessly.

During his actions, he didn't even startle the fluttering window screen.

Olivia felt a certain kind of sadness more and more.

"I don't know, Alexander, I should be happy to see you again..."

But why, why was her heart aching like it was about to burst?

She stared at him blankly, Alexander in front of her eyes looked young and handsome, death had subtly retraced the time on him, he looked clearly still the vigorous young king when he first met, but something completely changed from him stripped...

A tear trickled slowly down Olivia's cheek, and it hung like a glistening pearl on her pointed chin.

Ah, she knew, it was because of this.

"...you are really dead, Alexander."

She smiled quietly, and a look of sadness came over Alexander's face.

"Although I have heard the news of your death a long time ago, I have always refused to admit it in my heart. I did not see your dead body with my own eyes. Maybe this makes me have a little room for fantasy. I did not see it with my own eyes. Seeing your dead body, I didn't see your burial with my own eyes, I didn't see your coffin buried in the soil... I still can't believe that you are dead, I hope you can still appear in front of me well, and then tell me, hey , all of this is actually just a plan of yours."

"Now you have finally appeared, but...but...like this."

Olivia couldn't take it anymore, and the tear rolled down her chin, and then more pearly tears.They flowed down the delicate non-absorbent satin. Alexander opened his mouth to say some words of comfort, but finally felt that he had nothing to say. He slowly floated over and put his hand on her trembling shoulders.

The once solid shoulders and arms were like some kind of cool wind or mist, unable to give Olivia any real comfort.Olivia buried her head deeply in her arms, she was afraid that when she raised her eyes, she would see Alexander's arm passing through her shoulders, if she really witnessed such a situation again - Olivia thought - She will definitely not be able to bear it.

"I'm sorry, Wei Ya, I'm sorry, I... I'm really arrogant and stupid..."

Alexander half knelt down, with remorse in his eyes, and a little bit of gratitude: "I know I am not qualified to beg your forgiveness. My ancestors, I thought I might kill you, I thought I Your credulity will ruin my country, every minute of the past is a torment for me, I don't know what's going on with you, I don't even dare to imagine what will happen after my death..."

"I really thought you could handle Nicholas."

Olivia said softly, she wiped away the tears hanging from her eyelashes.

She didn't look up all the way at this moment, so of course she missed the look of doubt that flashed across Alexander's face.

"Nicholas? Why Nicholas?"

He forgot that he was still begging for forgiveness, and stared at his wife closely: "What do you mean... the new ruler of the empire after my death is Nicholas?"

"Yes, of course, how could I be wrong about such a thing."

Olivia was a little upset, but Alexander didn't notice it at all. He just murmured to himself: "How could it be Nicholas? I thought... I thought..." His eyebrows frowned and then loosened open.With an exceptionally keen intuition, Olivia sensitively sensed something unusual in her husband's words, and she stood up abruptly: "What do you mean by what you are saying now? Could it be that the person who killed you was not actually Nicholas?" ?!"

"No, of course not, how could Nicholas have such abilities."

Alexander raised his eyebrows slightly. At this moment, the majesty that belonged to the king returned to him. When he mentioned the name Nicholas, he was so contemptuous, as if he was talking about something mean and dirty.

How could Nicholas have the ability to kill him?A man with great ambition and talent, violent and lustful, such a person does not have the ability to wear a crown in his bones.Even if he was given the real prince position, he still couldn't win people's hearts, not to mention that Alexander had been wary of him a long time ago. If the fatal blow was launched from the hands of Nicholas, Alexander would have been prepared long ago.

Considering that Alexander was careful to wash away his memory when he sent his child away, the only assassins who could kill him were the ones he had truly trusted.

He recalled the situation when he died that day, and the look in his eyes became complicated.

"The man who killed me... I really never thought he would kill me, but then I thought about it, and it was not without reason that he would rebel. Power is such a fascinating poison that anyone can be addicted , Aldington has indeed treated his family poorly for so many years, but you said that Nicholas is still in power now? He has killed an emperor for power, why not kill another prince? Could it be that the temple is in What kind of influence is there?"

Alexander seemed to be explaining at first, but slowly, he started talking to himself again.

Olivia was completely impatient.

"Please, Your Majesty, I don't want to speculate on the reasons for the murderer's actions! I beg you to tell me who that person is?"

The murderer may not have gotten what he deserved so far, so how could Alexander be so dawdling?

"That person? Did you mean the one who killed me?" As if waking up from a dream, Alexander raised his eyes, and Olivia stared at his lips. Just as the murderer's name was about to be spit out, Alexander paled The transparent figure suddenly fluctuated abruptly.

Olivia gasped.

"What's wrong with you, Alexander, you—" She suddenly turned her head, the window that was supposed to be closed was pulled open at some point, and the thin gauze curtain gently fluttered, bringing the faint scent of roses from the garden .Albert, the head of the royal family, leaned gracefully against the window sill, holding a shiny yellow object the size of a pigeon egg in his hand, with its mouth open like a clam shell.

Alexander was sucked past her, disintegrated into countless pieces like a whirlwind, and shrunk into the unknown thing the size of a pigeon egg.

With a soft "ding", Albert closed the two "clamshells" of the thing.As if frightened by the voice, Olivia trembled slightly.

She looked at the lord steward who had served Alexander since she was a young girl.

"It's you." She suddenly realized that Albert put away the "clam shell" and clapped his palms twice in a gentle manner.

"Yes, it is indeed me, Your Majesty... If you want me to say, you are actually more intelligent than my dear Majesty. It's a pity that in general, neither you nor Your Majesty are very intelligent—" He stretched his neck and showed a smirk at Olivia: "——that's just a comparison between you."

Albert stretched out his hand and knocked on the window briefly, and the protective glass specially made by the Royal Research Institute easily turned into nothingness in a burst of yellow light.Stepping over the empty window frame, Albert nodded at Olivia condescendingly, and then jumped off the window sill half a person's height.

Olivia subconsciously took a step back when he jumped down, but after she realized it, she stepped back again.

"Hand over my husband." She stared at Albert calmly. As if he didn't hear her words, Albert stood not far from her, carefully scrutinizing her with his eyes.He looked very carefully—from the eyelashes to the tips of the hair, from the tip of the nose to the corners of the lips, so detailed that Olivia felt uncomfortable.

After being sized up like this for several minutes, Olivia finally turned her gaze slightly away from Alberto's naked gaze.

Her movements didn't break Albert from that kind of focused and careful observation, he was still watching her - in fact, it might be more like scrutiny.

"What do you want to do?"

She finally couldn't help asking, after an unknown amount of time, Albert finally opened his mouth, but he didn't answer what she asked.

"Honorable Your Highness, please forgive me for being rude. The sound insulation of this window does not seem to be very good, so I am very sorry that I heard all the conversations between you and Your Majesty." Albert's words were still so humble He was polite, but the smile on his face clearly showed that he didn't feel sorry for his eavesdropping.

He took out the "clam shell" containing Alexander's soul, and sighed with his mouth: "Your Majesty, do you really think that I joined the temple for power? I have to admit, maybe it was true in the beginning, But after all, I am such a loyal servant, no matter how much power I have, it is not enough to make me betray you."

Surprisingly, what Albert said was very sincere. If she hadn't known that he was the murderer who killed Alexander, Olivia might have been deceived by his sincerity. At this moment, she only felt that he was hypocritical. Disgusting.

The clam shell in Albert's hand shook angrily, the smile on his face grew wider, and he cherished the smooth surface of the "clam shell" with his fingertips.

"Ah, you don't believe it, do you? Then why did I choose to continue assisting Nicholas instead of becoming emperor myself? I'm sure the temple doesn't care about these trivial matters, and you know that Nicholas actually has no status in the temple, otherwise He's not going to be sent among us mortals, is he?"

"You must not know what those red roses that bind your soul are."

He stopped stroking, and his eyes were fixed on the clam shell reflecting the brilliance, with a kind of careful affection.Olivia felt for a moment that he seemed to be kissing her, but he quickly turned his head and focused his eyes on Olivia's long, white fingers.

Under Olivia's disgusted gaze, Albert gently pressed his lips, and blew a kiss on her slender fingers.

"It's such a pity." He said regretfully, "The original plan went very smoothly. After a while, I can be with you openly and aboveboard." Albert turned his eyes to the clam shell in his hand. He showed a malicious smile: "After fusing my soul and His Majesty's soul together, I will declare to you that I am your husband, but I have to possess Albert's body due to the condition...You Tell me, will you believe it?"

His words were undoubtedly addressed to Olivia, and Her Royal Highness silently clenched the bracelet: "How could I believe such absurd things..."

She reprimanded subconsciously, but all she got was a sarcastic smile from Albert.

"If the plan is successful, I will have almost all the memories of your Majesty since I was a child. Facing a person who knows the private secrets between you and Your Majesty, how can you assert that I am not the dear husband in your memory?"
