[Tutorial] kiss the velvet

As if drawn by an invisible force, relying on vague memories and some subtle feelings in her mind, Luna found the headquarters of the Apocalypse Knights.

Located on the high ground in Sicily, surrounded by lush vegetation, is a magnificent building that looks like a medieval castle in England.It seems that they have known about Luna's visit for a long time, and there are already people waiting there outside the building.

All dark red cloaks, overly fair complexion, blond hair, blue eyes, dozens of "knights" with common appearance characteristics stood in six columns on the corridor leading to the entrance of the castle.The moment Luna's figure appeared, as if they had received some kind of order, they knelt down on one knee in unison, and the sound of clenched left hands hitting the chest of the upper uniform sounded at the same time, as if to indicate that there was no words left. solemnity and solemnity.

Although Luna has seen the "knight" salute before, when the number of people saluting increases, the whole scene unexpectedly presents a spectacular visual impact.What made Luna even more confused was that the "knights" who saluted her were all young people around her age. As a standard soft girl, being kneeled on one knee by so many opposite sexes at the same time, Luna felt that her little heart I can't bear it.

Although Luna will only be infatuated with Sawada Tsunayoshi, objectively speaking, all these "knights" in front of me can be called beautiful men, which makes people suspect that the conditions for joining the Knights also have extremely high requirements for appearance. Require.Moreover, not only that, but a simple gesture of saluting can also reflect their temperament different from ordinary people, which is the unique aura of "elites".

"I... I'm here to see Mr. Norman, is he there?"

After adjusting her mood, Luna, who was shocked by this gorgeous scene, still tried her best to show a calm attitude.The second after she opened her mouth, a leading knight stood up, took a step forward and nodded to Luna:

"Master is waiting for His Highness, please allow me to lead the way for you."

The speaking "knight" wore a royal blue uniform trench coat, with a refined stand-up collar and turned-up cuffs trimmed with gold thread.Her eyes fixed on his handsome face for a second, and Luna suddenly remembered that the "knight" in front of her was the one who had come to rescue her and blocked the bullet for her when Bourne attacked her earlier.

Good thing he wasn't hurt after going back in time.A friendly feeling emerged spontaneously, even though she was still a little uncomfortable, Luna seemed less nervous than before.

"Well, then please, Mr. Knight."

As if he heard something terrible, the young man's face was startled, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Your Highness doesn't need to use honorifics for you, just call me Roland."

"Hey...Okay." Looking into his blue eyes, Luna nodded cautiously, "Then Roland will trouble you."

"Wherever it is, it is my honor to lead you the way."

Smiling softly, the young man named Roland took a well-trained step back to the side and made a gesture of invitation to Luna.As if to echo his movements, the gate of the magnificent building behind him was slowly opening towards Luna.

……

It's almost like a palace.

Nearly a hundred halls and halls are dazzling and magnificent.The exquisite arcade-style roof reaches straight to the sky. In addition to the retro decoration of gold powder, the top is also decorated with huge oil paintings and exquisite and magnificent reliefs.Looking away, there are various rare objects placed on the European-style furniture inlaid with gemstones, and those diamonds that are expensive in the eyes of ordinary people seem to be just a kind of shiny stone here, and they are scattered randomly in suitable places. place, against the polished sapphire blue marble floor...

It's not the first time Luna has come to the headquarters of the Apocalypse Knights, but every time she comes here, she can't help expressing her sincere admiration for the luxury and nobility inside this building.After passing through several halls and corridors as if looking at the scenery, Roland, as the guide, stopped in front of a wooden door with a rather retro shape.

"The master is inside, just go in, Your Highness. I will wait for you at the exit over there, and then send you away."

After speaking with a smile, Roland bowed to Luna and quietly left.Taking a deep breath, Luna raised her hand and pushed open the wooden door in front of her, and walked in with cautious steps.

Contrary to the ornate feel of the building as a whole, this is a room that is surprisingly devoid of any extravagance.The heavy floor-to-ceiling curtains are tightly closed, and the mahogany bookcase that occupies the entire wall is filled with hardcover hardcover books that look old.In the simple fireplace facing the bookcase, the dancing flames turn the whole room into a warm orange color.Just in front of the fireplace, a single leather sofa is placed there.Hearing the sound of the door opening, the man who was sitting there reading a book slowly raised his eyes. The moment his eyes met Luna's, he smiled gracefully as if in slow motion.

"Long time no see, little girl."

The magnetic voice with the charm of a young man flows smoothly in the space of only two people.The moment she saw the smile on the other person's face, all the restraint and fear that Luna had along the way seemed to disappear.

A very warm smile, just as in the impression, Mr. Norman, nicknamed "Daddy Long Legs" by Luna, is still gentle and kind, and even those slender brown eyes are full of impurity-free kindness .Luna thought that it was precisely because she firmly believed that Daddy-Long-Legs and the entire Apocalypse Knights did not harm her, she would go here alone to find the answer.

"Hello, Daddy-Long-Legs."

Greeting politely, Luna omitted the irrelevant polite words and went straight to the point, "My memory has recovered, I came today to ask you about that mission."

He didn't mind Luna's abrupt words. Mr. Norman, who didn't like to beat around the bush, calmly closed the hardcover book on his lap, and looked at Luna with gentle eyes, showing that he was listening to her.

"I...I want to know." After a little hesitation, Luna looked straight into Mr. Norman's eyes and asked, "You let me approach Mr. Sawada of Vongola, do you really want us to be friends? No other ulterior purpose?"

Undoubtedly, this is the issue that Luna has been most concerned about since the moment the memory seal was released, and its importance even surpasses her own life experience.Now she urgently needs to confirm the nature of her previous actions and whether it will cause harm to Sawada Tsunayoshi and even his valued Vongola family.

Following Luna's voice, the room that reflected the fire suddenly fell silent.Although he was still watching her, the kind and gentle smile just now slowly disappeared from Mr. Norman's face.

Oops, did Daddy-Long-Legs get angry because she asked too directly?

With a thump in her heart, Luna couldn't help feeling a little annoyed at her recklessness. Just when she lowered her head uneasily, she heard the other party reply calmly:

"The Knights have no malice towards Vongola, just as it literally means, I hope you can become friends with that young man from Vengley. However," after a pause, Mr. Norman said slowly, "It's not without For any purpose, my purpose is to form an alliance. The simple explanation is that I hope that because of the relationship between the two of you, the Pengelie family can form an alliance with us."

"Alliance? That is to say..."

The pursuit is to establish a friendly and peaceful relationship of mutual benefit.Quickly searching for the common-sense meaning of the word in her mind, Luna was about to show a relieved expression, but Mr. Norman's next sentence made her freeze.

"Form an alliance with us and dissolve the alliance with Dufa. In this way, when the Knights clear out Dufa's rebels in the future, they will not be interfered by Vengley, and they will be able to fight as much as possible. Avoid unnecessary sacrifices."

Get rid of Dufa... that's DeWitt's family...

Showing a shocked expression that was obviously subjected to a violent shock, Luna stared blankly at Mr. Norman's handsome and cold face without any waves.

"So your real purpose is to turn the Dufa family and the Pengelie family against each other, and then attack them again when Dufa is isolated and helpless?"

"It's not an attack, it's a blood exchange, or it's okay to clean up the door."

It seemed that he didn't want to see Luna's obviously questioning and incomprehensible eyes, or he didn't want her to notice the cold murderous intent flashing past his eyes.The clear and warm brown eyes slowly closed, and Mr. Norman tapped the armrest of the sofa with his slender fingers.

"The previous few times were just test dishes, but the next time I do it, everything will be different."

"Why, why did you target Dufa like this? Sure enough, the last attack was also done by Mr. Norman!"

Unable to restrain the emotions in her heart for a while, thinking of DeWitt who pretended to be strong after that incident, Luna suddenly shouted excitedly: "Let the six new guardians of Dufa die, Mr. Norman...Norman Why would you do such a thing, Mister? Even if the Knights and Dufa may have a feud, it’s too—”

"Holiday? No, how could it be such a child's thing."

He interrupted Luna neatly. Unlike her trembling voice, which was full of anxiety and faintly revealing crying, Mr. Norman's voice was unusually stable and calm.When he spoke, the airflow in the entire room seemed to change subtly.

"Two 'Dufa' exist at the same time, which is a blasphemy to the family. It is the mission and responsibility of Dufa's pure blood to completely wipe out the evil people who are ambitious and revengeful."

"...Two dufas, what do you mean?"

"What you see with your eyes may not be real. The Dufa XVIII you know is a shameless usurper."

DeWitt... the usurper?How is this going……

Unable to make a sound, she stared at the man sitting on the sofa with bated breath, a strange uneasiness crept up in Luna's chest.

"The reason why the Apocalypse Knights hate him and the current 'Dufa' is because that person took away things that did not belong to him, and everything in his hands was actually stolen by him through despicable means. Come. Therefore, in my lifetime, the meaning of my life lies in..."

The words stopped abruptly, and Mr. Norman opened his eyes and looked towards a corner of the room.Following his heavy gaze, what caught Luna's bewildered eyes was the emblem of the Knights that she had seen before.

The red background is inlaid with gold, and the core is a golden crown pierced by a scepter and a sword in a cross shape. There is also the line of English in the rose and thorn pattern around the coat of arms.At this moment, Luna seemed to understand a little bit, "honed and ready", the profound meaning of the so-called motto of the Knights.

Stay sharp—those are words the Avengers should take to heart.

……

Half an hour later, when Luna came out of the room, Roland was really waiting at the door as he said before.

"Your Highness, let me take you out."

Her chest felt as if it was clogged with cement. Due to hearing unexpected things and not being able to ask Mr. Norman about her life experience, Luna's mood was very different from when she came here.However, because she didn't want outsiders to see her agitation at the moment, Luna tried her best to pull the corners of her mouth and show a thankful smile.

Nodding respectfully, Roland, who thoughtfully considered the complex structure of the building for Luna, had a very gentle expression.Walking ahead at a moderate pace, Roland would turn his head from time to time to check whether Luna was keeping up with him.Looking at his figure, it was difficult for Luna to put the dark and heavy word "Avenger" on him, and to be honest, all the "knights" including Roland, they were a bit like DeWitt.

"If time permits, I hope His Highness can come here often. Whether you are happy or sad, you can find someone to share your joy or tell your pain. Everyone here welcomes you. Especially the master, he only He only smiles when His Highness is mentioned, I really hope to see that expression more often."

The clear voice without any turbidity, and the extremely heart-warming words made Luna feel like a "family member".The steps under her feet slowed down a few times, and after a moment of hesitation, Luna asked the question that had been lingering in her mind.

"That... Roland, why do you all call me Your Highness? Also, why did you kneel down to me together?"

In fact, Luna asked Mr. Norman the same question just now, but the other party didn't answer.Hiding the curiosity in her eyes, Luna tried to act like a shy little girl.

"Because of your exaggerated actions, I feel like a princess. I'm embarrassed to say that."

"You are a princess yourself."

Almost blurting out, Roland, who was leading the way, replied without thinking.However, he seemed to realize immediately that he had said something inappropriate. He scratched the golden hair on top of his head, turned his head and smiled and said:

"Ah, I'm joking, it's actually like this, because Her Royal Highness Luna is the only girl in the knight order, we agreed to call you that in private, hahahaha."

...It's such a blunt turning point, and it's easy to laugh.It's not because she was dazzled, why is the root of his ear turning red?Really suspicious!

"Is that so?" Carefully watching every subtle expression change on Roland's face, Luna made a very bold guess: "I thought Mr. Norman was my brother, that's why I got treated like a princess, It turned out not to be."

"...Brother?" Roland's expression was stunned, as if he was frightened, "No, that's not the case, the master just looks younger."

"But even if you look young, it won't be much different from your actual age. Could it be that Mr. Norman loves beauty so he's good at taking care of it?"

"It's... the effect of the medicine." He hesitated to speak, and Roland's words were suddenly tinged with a touch of sadness, "It's better to say that the master is maintaining life than maintaining it."

Sustain life? !Luna, who was still holding a tentative mentality just now, suddenly froze. Some kind of unknown emotion originating from instinct made her feel as if her heart was tightly pinched by someone.

"Has Mr. Norman been seriously ill?"

Realizing that Luna was so worried about his words, Roland shook his head lightly, showing a relieved look as he brushed away the haze between his brows.

"Sorry, I said something superfluous, Your Highness don't need to worry. The reason why the master is like this is because the blood of the family is too pure. Medicines are not used to cure diseases, but to counteract the side effects of abilities. Fortunately, they are in the It worked out very well on the owner.”

Hearing what Roland said, Luna felt relieved.Thinking of the fact that Tsuna had reminded herself not to use the ability to go back in time lightly, Luna suddenly felt very heartwarming.

"It seems that what he said is right, thank God, I met Tsuna before the side effects were revealed..."

The brows lowered gently, and Luna whispered in a voice that only she could hear.Just as a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, suddenly, the phone in his pocket rang.

The gentle and steady tone of the music box came from Tsunayoshi Sawada.

The author has something to say: The knights are all handsome young people. The setting of the precipice is to make 270 feel uncomfortable in the future. Luna is a veritable star. I want to write...【Hey
