The Story of Eli Lanka

There are a few tall guards at the door, who seem to have good skills, and they feel completely different from the men Grace brought last time.That is the temperament of a fighter, and the Grace family has never lacked such roles.

Several men didn't seem to see him coming out, and Difu was evaluating in his heart, and at the same time, whether he had a chance of winning against these people.

According to his thinking, since he had just come back, that man must have been strictly monitoring his actions. If he had the slightest sign of trouble, he would probably be persuaded to go back to the room immediately. If he didn't listen, the other party might use force to force him to submit.

Div moved forward and found that several people didn't look at him at all. He took another step forward, as if testing the other party's bottom line, but he was surprised to find that even when he reached the end of the corridor, those guys still stood There, no action.

It appears that Grace did not restrict his freedom of movement.

Now Deve was absolutely sure that guy wasn't the same guy he was three years ago.Three years ago, if they just quarreled, the man would restrict him from leaving the room, not to mention the situation like now.Although the sexual aspect is quite harmonious, but...what he wants is not a gorgeous cage.

In the quiet and gorgeous corridor, the crystal chandeliers are bright and luxurious, and they will emit bright and soft light at night.But now it is a sunny afternoon, after turning around the corridor, there is a beautiful veranda, the flowers and trees on both sides grow extremely lush, the green branches and leaves and flowers of various colors protrude into the corridor, it looks so beautiful and full of vitality.

He walked barefoot on the marble, which, despite the high temperature in Ireland, was a cold reminder of Deve's own nature.

In the beautiful veranda, the white pillars are entwined with flowers and vines, not only does not make people feel chaotic, but also has a delicate beauty.

As expected of the great nobles, the gorgeous scenery is only a part of their lives. Compared with the small nobles in the countryside, this is the real noble courtyard.

The hem of the soft robe dragged on the marble, and when the wind blew, it lifted slightly. When Diff raised his head, he realized that at some point, even himself became a part of this gorgeous and pale background.

He has seen a wider land, not deliberately planted flowers, although not as beautiful as the lavender field planted by Li Wei, but there is a kind of vitality, even the gravel will bloom small heather flowers, under the moonlight like tulle Down, silence blooms.

But now, Div squinted his eyes and looked at the garden. The sun was shining, as if there was no withering and death here, and all life was showing its most perfect side.

Of course, it's beautiful here, but Deve misses the gravel fields, the grassy slopes, or the quiet wasteland where only the moon shines.

"Sure enough, I am from the dark race..." He whispered dejectedly, the beautiful courtyard in front of him did not win his favor at all.

When thinking of those days of freedom, one cannot help but think of Sage.

That indifferent man, now he can add another synonym of "greedy".Although I don't know how much Grace spent, anyway, money has never been a problem for Grace.

According to Deve, Grace was born to ruin their ancestral fortune.There wasn't much war in this year, and Deve couldn't think of anything Grace could do other than squander the money.

Of course, such a child who grows up with a golden spoon in his mouth is always selfish and cruel, but Li Wei is an exception.

Thinking of the girl with a sweet smile, Div couldn't help but smile.

She is like the bright sunshine, being with her always makes people feel better.Even when she was arguing with Grace, the girl was so bright and lovely.

Grace always commented that her sister didn't have a bit of aristocratic demeanor, which was really a shame to the family.

Although I don't understand why studying ancient magic is embarrassing to the family, but in the later travels, Difu gradually understood that such things are indeed not suitable for girls of noble origin. They are better staying in the social circle and learning all kinds of etiquette and communication. wrist, rather than holding a brick-like book like a scholar.

When Li Wei was mentioned to Sage, Sage said with some surprise: "I'm curious what kind of girl that is, do you like her? I've never heard you praise a noble girl so much."

Sage hates doing business with nobles, but under the premise of profit, personal likes and dislikes can be ignored for the time being.

Therefore, selling himself to Grace is only a slightly annoying business.

Dave sighed.

At the other end of the garden Grace saw Deve standing under the veranda.

He was wearing a white robe, which looked even thinner, with a wide neckline, revealing a slender collarbone. Because he was sideways, he didn't see himself standing not far away.

The black hair was not tied up, but was loosely scattered on the shoulders, and was slightly lifted when the wind blew.There is no expression on his exquisite facial features, but it looks like he is missing something. There is silence in his black eyes, as if hiding the loneliness and longing that only he can understand... like an angel imprisoned in Eli Lanka , is like saying goodbye to another world forever.

Grace didn't want to go over at first, because there was a girl talking to him beside him, but when this person appeared in his field of vision, he immediately caught his attention, obviously not far away, but he felt that the person looked like the president It's normal to leave at any time with wings.

Grace walked over, her cowhide boots clattering on the marble, as if to get the man's attention.

When Diff turned around in shock, his wrist was grabbed by the man running towards him, and he was hugged into his arms.The savage and powerful force made him a little confused.

Over the shoulder of the man who was hugging him, he saw a girl running over with her skirt in hand.

It was an aristocratic girl, her slightly curly blond hair was carefully managed, and it was not messed up even when she was running.

"Grace?" He called the other person's name with some guilt, thinking that this man is really everywhere.

"How did you come out?" Grace didn't let go of him, but gave Deve a little breath.

Div raised his head and said dissatisfiedly, "Why not, won't you allow me to come out?"

Grace held back his anger, he didn't know why he was angry, maybe he was just afraid of him leaving again.After a moment of silence, he resumed his normal tone: "Of course you can come out, I didn't let the guards stop you, did I?" After speaking, his voice even seemed a little gentle.

Deve gave him a strange look and was about to say something when he was interrupted by a cough from the blond girl.

Grace froze for a moment before remembering the existence of the girl.

"Sorry, Ina." He gave a gentle smile, which seemed fake to Div, but the girl obviously didn't think so.

"No, it's okay..." Aina showed a sweet smile, "I thought something happened..."

"It's just slaves running around," Grace said casually.

In response to this answer, Deve didn't frown. He didn't mind Grace introducing him like this.

"Is this... the remnant of the Sand Moon Clan that was bid in the last auction?" Aina asked softly.

"Yes," Grace replied truthfully, "it's not necessary to spend that much money."

Diff obediently chose to lower his eyelids. He understood what the other party meant. If Grace hadn't let him go three years ago, he wouldn't have to spend money to buy him back now.

Of course Aina didn't understand, but she just smiled slightly.

"Tonight's dance, will you come?" Aina continued to bring the topic to another place, "All the beautiful girls in Ireland will come."

"Sure, I'm going, but not for the girls," Grace said softly.

Dave raised an eyebrow.God knows why they were flirting in front of him, and he didn't like hearing it...

He tried to leave Grace, but the other party refused to let go of the big hand on his waist.

However, he was surprised to find that Grace was very good at dealing with girls. Compared with the usual arrogant and arrogant, at this time he seemed gentle and gentle, and even showed his affection for the girl just right.

It kind of feels like...they're in a relationship.

So, what is it if he hugs himself like this...

After confirming the time of the dance with Grace, Aina bid farewell politely without even looking at Div.

Of course she wouldn't look at Diff again, because a noble girl doesn't pay special attention to other people's belongings.

Although she didn't show a particularly contemptuous look, her arrogant side was fully displayed from her conversation and attitude.

Grace watched Aina leave with a smile, then exhaled lightly.

Diff said casually, "So you like this type of girl."

"What?" Grace looked down at the person in his arms.

"No wonder you're always arguing with Livi," Div continued smugly. "With Livi's personality, I really can't get along well with you."

"How do I like her?" Grace sneered.

"Why not, you've put on that look," Div raised his chin fearlessly, "Looks like a couple."

"She is my fiancée," Grace said flatly, "Her father and elder brother are both political figures in Ireland."

"So it's a family marriage..." Difu nodded.He wanted to be more natural, but felt that the voice was stiff and unfamiliar, as if it came from someone else.

Grace didn't notice anything unusual, and still put her arms around his waist. "Next month, I'm going to have a wedding."

"That girl seems to like you," Div said sourly.

Grace smiled, "You're the only one who doesn't care about me."

Div snorted coldly, pushed his hand away, and then said dissatisfiedly: "I'm tired, I stood with you for a long time, and I also served as the background for a long time, so I'm leaving." He said and walked in the direction he came.

"Didn't you lean on me for a long time?" Grace smiled and hugged him again. "hungry?"

"Not hungry."

"But it's dinner time." Grace said matter-of-factly.

Diff's protest was ineffective, and he couldn't beat him, so he had to be dragged to the restaurant by Grace.

There are many etiquettes that must be followed in noble families. One of them is that if there is no special reason for dinner, family members must eat together in the dining room.

Seeing the servants carrying the trays and putting the delicious food on the plate, Deve couldn't help but said, "Are you living alone now?"

"Yeah." Grace nodded.

"But..." Difu hesitated, looked up at the dining room as wide as the king's audience room, and at the extended dining table and so many dishes. "Eating alone is too luxurious."

They had dinner together before, when Li Wei was still there, the three of them were noisy, the table was not that big, and occasionally Li Wei's friends would visit...

Diff suddenly felt that three years had passed really quickly.

"My father lives on his own property with a bunch of relatives, and I," Grace said, taking a sip of the expensive Irish wine. "Then live in this city."

Dave tilted his head, "Why?"

"Assist the king of this country." Grace said lightly.

"But I only see you flirting with girls, or else you're going to the auction to waste money." Difu gestured with a knife and fork, and the servant watched nervously.They have never seen anyone talking to their master like this, nor have they seen a slave sitting here to eat.

Instead of appearing displeased, Grace seemed to take his words as a compliment. "Sounds like a good life."

"That's how you live." Deve said bluntly, "Wasting the family's money and not contributing to this country..."

The servants listened dumbfounded as he recounted his master's crimes, calling him a scum of society, a parasite of Elilanca.

On the other hand, the host, who is usually very cold and serious, not only didn't take it seriously, but also personally poured a glass of wine for this ignorant boy, and after being sternly rejected, poured another glass of juice and pushed it in front of the other party.

"I'm so thirsty, give me another..." Deev reached out, the juice was out of his reach.

There used to be servants on the sidelines, but now Grace has taken the servants' jobs so completely that the servant standing next to Diff doesn't know what to do.

"Don't talk so much when you're thirsty, eat more." Grace poured him another glass of juice.

Diff flattened his mouth and took the juice.The chilled juice is cold and refreshing, with a sweet and sour taste of fruit as it glides down the throat.

"Hey, Grace, pass me that plate of meat..."

The servants standing beside Difu wanted to cry...

Before nightfall, there was a thunderstorm.Ali Lanka is also known as the "Rain City". It usually rains in the evening, and when the raindrops hit the yard, it dissipates a lot of the hot air during the day.

Diff stood by the window, quietly watching the rain fall on the broad plantain leaves, on the soft flowers.

Rain is the source of life in the desert. It looks rough and willful now, but it is not as cold as it appears on the surface, but it brings the most precious vitality to this land.

"What's so interesting about rain." A disdainful voice came from the man behind him.

Ignoring him, Deve stepped out with one foot, and bent the other foot on the window sill.The rain fell on his feet with the warmth of summer, and he squinted at the gray sky.

It felt like Grace was standing behind him, but he didn't look back.

He's sulking, that's for sure.The same goes for criticizing the nobility at dinner, he was trying to find fault, but even he didn't understand why he was angry.

Maybe it's the hot weather, maybe it's Grace's attitude towards Aina...

Grace's fingers ran across his skin, and when Deve came back to his senses, something cold had wrapped around his neck.

"What..." He looked down, but couldn't speak the following words.

Those are beautiful flame-like crystals, they are strung together in various postures, as if they were fixed there forever while still alive.Unlike those beautiful gemstones, which are cold and beautiful, it exudes a kind of vitality of life and passion like fire.

"You..." When he saw this necklace at the auction last time, he thought it was extremely beautiful, but he never expected that the buyer who bid it was actually Grace.

"It's beautiful, the flame of life always catches people's eyes, isn't it?" the man behind said softly.

Dave touched those beautiful crystals lightly, and he knew they were the corpses of flame bugs, but they were still unbelievably beautiful, and even looking at them, he could feel the vitality of life.Although they died a long time ago.

"Why?" Deve asked, turning his head.

"I think it suits you very well," Grace leaned down and kissed his hair, "I think you'll like it."

He fastened the chain clasp lightly.The flaming red crystals complemented his fair skin, an alluring color.

Grace felt relieved as she put the flame of life on Deve.

He couldn't explain why, whether it was before or now, he always felt that Deve would leave at any time.He's always trying to leave, and I'm always trying to stop him from leaving.

Sometimes he thought, just kill Difu, or use some ancient magic to seal him, so that he only sees himself, instead of reflecting the outside world.

Like this afternoon, that uneasy feeling that told him that Div didn't belong here and would leave him as soon as he turned around.

Just like when I saw him for the first time, the boy was so light and agile, just turning around, he was in a place beyond his reach.

And now, that beautiful necklace fell on his neck with a bright light, like a shackle, keeping him by his side.

He kissed his neck, and Deve resisted, but accepted meekly.

Grace kissed his soft lips, then picked him up and put him on the bed.

"My feet are wet..." Deve reminded him.

"It's okay," Grace said softly.

Maybe it's not too late to start all over again?

He bowed his head and kissed his lips, then sat on the edge of the bed without further movement.

Dave looked at him with confusion in his eyes.

He helped him cover the quilt, "Are you sleepy?"

Dave hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"May I sleep with you?" Grace's voice was as gentle as pinching water.

Deve looked at him suspiciously, and finally nodded.

It rained all night, and Difu was a little surprised to find that he actually slept in the other's arms until dawn.

There have indeed been such situations before, but either they were fainted by Grace, or they were tired from being tormented by Grace, so they fell asleep as soon as they touched the bed. It has never been like last night. Do it, just hug and sleep together quietly.

Diff stared at the sleeping man beside him.Is he really Grace, when...began to become like this?

The morning wind accompanied by the sunshine and last night's rain filled the room.The windows were left open all night, but there was no chill in the man's arms.

So when Grace kissed him on the lips, got dressed, and told him to go out and take care of something, he remained in a state of disorientation.
