Scepter of Thorns

Edward felt as if he were dead.

The touch of the facets of the gem rubbing against the body is driving you crazy, and the warm hole is forced to open and close. When it slides over a certain place, the strange touch makes him shiver, as if a place that is extremely itchy has been whipped. Beat hard.

The gem stays there.

"Woo..." Edward even let out a small weeping sound. He was dominated by lust | desire, so he couldn't care less about provoking and satirizing Kylos.

He was bumping in the wind and waves, only feeling confused, his hands clasped the back of Kairos' neck involuntarily, and then bit the other's lip.

The shackles loosened in vain.

"You...heretic." Edward could only spit out scattered words, "The heaven...doesn't belong to you."

"Anyway, you have seen my essence." Kairos left his lips, "We will be entangled forever, and I will not let you go; you will not forgive my crimes."

"For power..." The thorny scepter rolled into the darkness the moment their bodies joined together, but Edward didn't care, "...for desire|desire."

"You are my desire|desire."

When Edward woke up, Kylos had already left, and he estimated that he had slept for a day.But like Kylos said, he really didn't touch Edward, but the gem he brought still remained in his body.Edward had to control every tiny movement, so much so that he couldn't get out of bed at all.

Find a way to get out... If Kylos doesn't come for a few more days, Edward feels that he will go crazy.

He tried to light a flame.Slight fluctuations in magic power seemed to be allowed by this space, and the darkness faded away, revealing a dim scene.

In the next second, the flame trembled and went out.

The overwhelming thorns overlapped and twisted, like a monster hiding in the dark finally appeared.The most frightening thing is that, about a day ago, the candle light had not yet illuminated the thorns, and they were just... just growing.

Will it continue to grow then?

This question made Edward shudder. Kyle Ross never gave up on killing him. If he was really ruthless, Edward was not sure whether he would survive, especially when he was powerless.

No.

He began to quickly recall every detail, clothes - yes, Kylos was wearing the royal clothes.This was his old clothes. If the other party didn't pay special attention, they wouldn't be able to find a thumb-sized stone sewn in the corner of the interlayer.

It was the spar that restrained the protoss, and it had been kept by Osa's side since he stole it out of prison.Edward went to investigate the origin of the stone after he ascended the throne, but all those who knew it had been disposed of, and it was only vaguely known that it came from Senna.

The clone of Kaierros, another embodiment of the Ruins of Eternity, if he made the stone, would there be a way to change the status quo?

But Kylos was very wary of him, and even used shackles to restrain him when he was emotional, and he didn't even have a chance to do it.To make matters worse, if Kylos changed his clothes or checked the mezzanine next time, he would lose his only support.

It's a dead end.Edward thought, but he had to survive.

Demon world.

Madam Hong took off her black wool cloak and walked into the side door of Tingta's mansion.The attendants followed her all the way and led her into the warm room where the fireplace was burning brightly.

The attendant bowed and said, "His Royal Highness Lilith will meet you immediately."

The woman's red lips were slightly drawn, and she sat down calmly.

Soon, Lilith walked down the stairs obediently, and Sophia followed behind with the documents in her arms.The count seemed to have received other guests just now, with a tired expression on his face, "Madame Hong is here, what's the matter?"

The red-haired woman burst out laughing suddenly, she waved her hand, and the servant retreated knowingly.But Sophia wasn't there yet, she stared at Lilith, as if she was afraid that she would call her back.

The red lady kept going and staying, and Sophia turned to look at her, her mouth pouted, her cat's tail stretched straight.

Lilith interrupted the silent war, "Madam Red?"

What she didn't expect was that the red-haired woman stepped forward, put her arms around Lilith's neck like a snake, and whispered, "I know what you're doing..."

Lilith said calmly, "Is there anything else?"

"I can help you, Lily."

Sophia wished she could pick her away from Lilith with a stick, and her words were even more unpleasant, "Don't you feel uncomfortable talking like that?"

"Women of the Solomon family must be able to lead troops to fight." She ignored Sophia, but continued, "This time I was appointed as a general, appointed by the Lord God, and he seems to trust me very much."

Lilith did not take it lightly, she wondered, is this a temptation by Caesar?

"You still don't believe me." Madam Hong shrugged, "But it's normal, I'm an outsider to you, even though we all have blood that has lasted for thousands of years."

"What do you want to say?"

"Because of the protection of the clan by the God of Darkness, our family was forced to hide our names and be cursed." Mrs. Hong tightened her arms around her, "The demon world needs a Ming Lord, and war can't solve any problems, and the Lord God... that should be A product of creation, not of the present."

"Do you dare to say that, do you expect me to clear out all Caesar's people?" Lilith finally let go, admitting in disguise, "Then why do you think Caesar will give you military power?"

"He's just trying to test me...Take me into the fief and monitor my movements all the time. He's afraid that if I don't pay attention, I will join forces with you to rebel..." She said mockingly, "This kind of military power is useless."

"Why do you think you can help me?"

"Just because you need a mole in Caesar's camp."

She didn't know that the Demon Lord Amiens had united with them, but Amiens was isolated from politics by Caesar, so it would be nice if there was someone in the military.Lilith wondered.

Sophia suddenly said, "Since Caesar already has doubts about you, it is still unknown whether the information you have contacted is the core. If Caesar sets a trap, we will suffer heavy losses due to wrong information."

"Little guy, intelligence doesn't have to be military information." Madam Hong glanced at her lazily, her hoarse voice revealing a bit of carelessness, "It can be the will of the people, the decree promulgated, or even gossip. It can be It’s a touchy subject that soldiers talk about, it can be the look and behavior of servants, it’s everywhere.”

"The possibility of what you said is not ruled out." Lilith comforted Sophia, "Then, welcome, my sister Hong. For Solomon."

She noticed the change in her title and said with a half-smile. "For Solomon, give me a kiss."

Sophia's lowered tail instantly turned up, her soft hair exploded, and a pair of vertical pupils stared at her intently.

Lilith stared into her eyes, although there was an invitation there, but what settled at the bottom was a deeper color, very dark.

Embedded with sadness.

"I am not the Black Queen, but you will always look at my face and think of her." Lilith said softly, and then kissed her on the cheek like a loved one, "Take off the black iron crown, that is what she used to wear .”

Madam Hong put away her smile, and her brows became a little sharper.

"I know," she said. "I've been conscious of it from the beginning."

She nimbly descended from Lilith like a cat, "Unfortunately, I wanted to give you the Black Iron Crown before. But now I have changed my mind."

Some things can never be restored once they rust, and a beautiful shelf crumbles to nothing but an ugly shell.

"Before it decays, I will bury it."

Mrs. Red left.Sophia asked, "What does she mean?"

"She decided to let it go." Lilith said leisurely, "The Black Queen has passed away for many years. Instead of being driven crazy by this endless relationship, it is better to keep it in memory."

"Just put it down as soon as she puts it down, just don't snatch me." Sophia pouted, "You think so, Lilith?"

Lilith raised the corners of her lips, but did not answer.

Half a minute later, the servant came to report that there was a visitor.

"please come in."

A corner of the dark blue cloak was exposed at the door, and its owner pulled down the hood to reveal the mask of the closed mouth.

"You're here." Lilith nodded, motioning for him to sit down.

[The Duchess of Heaven intends to cooperate, and everything goes well. ]

They talked for half an hour about the Countess, including some trivial details. [You decided to launch a revolution? ] "No, wait any longer." Lilith said, "Caesar is busy with the invasion of the human world, so he has no time to manage us. But starting a revolution at this time will lead to the defeat of the frontline army and the victory of the human world. Although I am against Caesar □□, but I don’t want to hurt the vitality of the Demon Realm.”

[This is likely to miss the best period. ]

"I can't be a sinner in the devil world."

[but……]

"About this point, you don't need to persuade me any more." Lilith interrupted him before he finished writing, and said resolutely, "The Demon Realm must not fall into the dual situation of external and internal troubles."

The Reticent did not know how to persuade her.

"Oh, by the way, I have to tell you that that person has returned to the Demon Realm." Lilith reminded her, her topic turned slightly abruptly, "You need to hurry back as soon as possible."

what? !

The Reticent was so panicked that he almost dropped his notebook. He hurried into a small room on the west side of the first floor, and after working for a while, he escaped from the shadows.

North of the Demon Realm.

Valentine straightened his military cap, and the passing soldiers saluted one after another.Since the demon world and the human world were connected, the communication between the two continents has become much more convenient.But because of legion affairs, Valentine had to rush back from the human world.

"Where's Keqie?" He asked a pawn, "Isn't he the military doctor of our regiment? Why didn't you see him?"

"He was temporarily transferred to the Ninth Army. He heard that there was a mutiny due to the late payment of the army. Many people were injured, and the military doctor went there."

"Thank you." He patted the other person on the shoulder, and said with a sophisticated posture, "I will tell the instructor that you are exempt from physical training today."

"Thank you, Lord Valentine!" The soldier was very happy, and gave a military salute respectfully.

Valentine tidied up a bit, talked to the instructor about the training, and immediately went to the barracks where the Ninth Army was stationed.

He hurried all the way, even using the bone wings.When he arrived at the barracks, Ke Qie was coming out with a medicine box under his arms. When he saw Valentine, he froze for a moment, "Why are you here?"

"miss you."

Ke Qie's face turned red, he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Valentine hugged his beloved all at once, and sniffed deeply at the other's neck.An inexplicably familiar smell was detected by the keen demon, and his movements paused.

Ke Qian couldn't see the moment of surprise flashing in his eyes.Valentine lowered his head, the medicine box in the opponent's hand was pure white, and it was rare to see such a clean color on the battlefield, because they were always stained with blood and stains.

It's new like it just came out of storage.
