Home in another world

"Make a deal with me, human."

Sitting under the stars, Ryan on the watchtower glanced at the "demon" in the void, but did not answer.

The hoarse and very seductive voice continued to lobby: "In your blood, there is a quality that attracts demons. You are destined to wander between light and darkness in your life. No matter how hard you try, you will not be liked by your kind for the rest of your life. In this case, why not follow your inner desire and give your soul to me! The entire abyss belongs to your power..."

clatter.A raised foot kicked on the "face of the void", and the sound like a broken lens was very clear in the silent night sky.Ryan's expression is still calm, every movement of his is so elegant and peaceful, even if he is violent, it makes people feel that he is giving the other party a gift.

Before disappearing, the "demon" screamed in pain: "You lowly human being who doesn't know what to do!"

"Boring." Ryan rested his head on his hands, quietly looking at the stars in the sky.When he was born, the soothsayer trembled and said, "A mixture of extreme good and evil, with blood on its hands, no matter whether it is the father, the same generation, the children, or the innocent, it is possible to die." From now on, other people will be a little subtle when facing him.And his mother died of blood loss after childbirth, which further confirmed the words of the prophet.

Not liked?In fact, this is not true.At least in the eyes of those who don't know that prophecy, he is very popular.What is it, just those polite "admirations" based on appearance, identity, and pretense?

What about gaining strength?Isn't it in exchange for the so-called awe, admiration... these things, does he need them?Closing his eyes, Ryan happily listened to the sound of the wind running past his ears.

Suddenly, a noise disturbed his quiet time.It turned out to be a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy climbing up the watchtower along the rope, and his awkward crawling posture was completely devoid of aristocratic demeanor.

Suddenly meeting Ryan's eyes, the young man was a little lost, and then he climbed harder, and he climbed to the top of the watchtower without any hindrance.

Ryan saw the familiar "admiration" in the boy's eyes, and his thin lips said coldly like an order: "Go down—uh!" The pure boy's breath covered his lips, and the tongue full of fluid pried open his mouth, He poked in flexibly.

After the deep kiss, the boy stared at him with dark eyes: "I came to ambush the pterosaur, but I changed my mind. From today on, you are my pet." Although slightly younger than Ryan Years old, but the boy's arm strength was astonishingly strong, and he trapped Ryan in the same place.

Comparing each other's strengths, Ryan simply closed his eyes again: "Okay, master."

Getting the promise easily, the young man was not used to it, and straightened Ryan's face: "Don't close your eyes, I want to see your eyes." Feeling that this tone was not suitable for the identity of "Master", he added: "Come on, be good."

Ryan opened his eyes in response, looking straight at the boy in front of him.He was clearly doing what a dandy bully would do, but the boy's expression was very serious, as if what he was doing was both reasonable and important.Feeling teasing in his heart, Ryan smiled slightly, raised his head and kissed the young man's beautiful Adam's apple.

The young man froze, not even daring to breathe too hard, for fear of missing any throbbing from the bottom of his heart.

Obviously, the teenager's experience is much less than his.After all, he is only so young... Ryan easily got out of the predicament, and kissed the boy's forehead condescendingly: "I'll go back first, master."

However, no one expected that this chance meeting would make each other's fates closely entangled.

On the second night, the teenager disturbed Ryan's sleep again.

"You're still here, I thought you weren't coming." The voice was obviously anxious and surprised, but he quickly said with a straight face: "You are so stupid, all monsters know that they have to move their habitats when they are in danger."

Ryan beckoned the boy to sit down, then put his head on his lap, and said in a low and pleasant voice, "Because I want to see you, master."

The boy snorted: "You are seducing me."

Ryan buried his head on him, his dark brown hair was soft and flowing, just passing his deep eyes: "Do you know what seduction is?"

Yesterday, he was hot all over because of Ryan's light kiss. After returning home, the boy has learned a lot about "that aspect", and at the same time, he also knows what his current body can't do.He hugged Ryan's neck: "In three years, no, in two years. I can have you."

Ryan laughed: "Two years, maybe I can't wait any longer, so I'll go find someone else."

The boy's gaze became very frightening: "Then I will kill that person."

I don't know if it was because the young man really wanted to kill, but Ryan suddenly felt that the air on the watchtower had cooled down, as if he was about to freeze everything that was trying to move rashly.Ryan was still calm: "Kill one, and I can find more...Master, you don't know, there are many people who like me." His tone did not imply any boasting, but simply stated the facts.

The boy grabbed his wrist forcefully: "I won't allow it!"

Ryan brought his hand to his lips and kissed it, and said with a smile, "Why don't you allow it? Because you are the son of the Grand Duke?" Guy, he never cared what other people thought, he could do whatever he wanted... It's really shameless to be spoiled by the old-fashioned Grand Duke.

The boy didn't reveal his identity, but just held onto his hand tightly: "It's not allowed anyway."

It's really... naivety that makes people enviable, makes people... jealous.

Ryan closed his eyes, hiding all his emotions: "I want to sleep, master."

"You first promise me that you won't find anyone else."

"Okay, I promise you, master."

"I will come tomorrow, and you will come too."

"Okay, master."

Why was he a little uneasy when he promised so quickly?The boy touched his chest, feeling a little strange.But he liked Ryan's obedience, so he just watched Ryan's breathing gradually becoming calmer, and didn't speak again.

After that night, they met on the watchtower almost every day.Although most of the time he just quietly watched Ryan sleeping on his lap, the boy was very satisfied.

It's a pity that such days didn't last. At Ryan's wedding, the teenager appeared.

The boy who was just dragged here by others immediately lit up his eyes when he saw Ryan, and ran over to hold Ryan: "You are here! Let's go, I heard that in order to bless the boring wedding of Prince Ryan, the pterosaur will come out for a walk Circle. Let's go there and wait, this time we must climb on its back!"

Ryan smiled: "Didn't I tell you that my name is Ryan...Xiao Ke, master." The last four words were said in the young man's ear, familiar intimacy, familiar tone, familiar breath...

The boy's world was shattered at that moment, and he could no longer find the innocence of seeing things he cared about and not paying attention to everything else.He clearly saw Ryan wearing a dress, other people were looking at him with weird eyes, and the woman who was about to become Ryan's wife looked over vigilantly... Where is Ryan?Where is Ryan?

He anxiously met Ryan's eyes, and suddenly found that those eyes were exactly the same as when they first met, cold, mocking, and unapproachable.

"Lian!" He called his name for the first time, and the feeling of gnashing his teeth went deep into his bone marrow: "You promised me!"

Ryan and the boy looked at each other for a moment, then sighed and said, "I lied to you." That expression was like treating a naughty child, helpless and troublesome.

Seeing the young man being taken away by his family, Ryan smiled at the crowd and turned to continue his wedding banquet.

How easy it is to destroy a piece of innocence.

For a long time after that, the boy did not appear again.

The Grand Duke once approached Ryan directly: "What that woman's family can give you, our Duke's Mansion can give you, and even more. Your Highness, you know how to choose."

Unconditional love?It's really conniving to the point of shame.

Ryan said unhurriedly: "Master Hawke can't have children, right?"

The Grand Duke froze, slammed the door and left.

In the spring of the third year, Ryan's second child was born.On this spring night, the future grand duke who has faded from his youthful innocence and appeared as "Hawk" officially entered Ryan's life.

Even though he possessed Ryan's body in a crazy manner, the words he said had obvious concessions: "For women, there is no other than having children."

The body has endured the demands of the night, and he is too tired to move, but Ryan's voice is still slightly ironic: "What about the men?"

His answer was to forcefully go deep again.

And the words that fell into my ears at the end were not as cold as before, let alone the slightest bit of anger. They were as calm as gossip: "I will kill him."

Except for the addition of a future grand duke, Ryan's life is still the same as usual.With the help of the Grand Duke, his ascension to the throne seemed a matter of course.Although His Majesty the Emperor had a grudge against this son, he still had to find him the best teacher and give him the best of everything.

Seeing the kindly smiling face forced out, Ryan turned his face away.Can you get these things in exchange for a powerful boost?

Unfortunately, he no longer needs it.

——I won’t believe it any more.

The Elvis Empire believes in the God of Nature, and its first dogma is "all things are equal", so the entire empire has a natural barrier to protect dark creatures-you can even drink at the same table with the "demon" from the abyss at night.

However, hundreds of years ago, a huge disaster caused by the counterattack of the exiles from the abyss forced the Territory of Light to intervene forcibly, breaking the barrier over the Aivis Empire.

The "light of purification" that is fatal to dark creatures shines on the earth without hindrance, and the dark creatures that have committed crimes on the mainland weaken and die one after another.The last piece of fertile ground for dark creatures was completely destroyed, and they could only struggle to survive under the abyss.

And facing death at the same time, there are also "friends of darkness" who have made good friends with human beings.In order to give them a glimmer of life, the then Emperor Aivis gathered the power of the whole country and tore a one-way passage in the holy city to let them return to the abyss.

Since then, every time the polar night comes to Starr City, and one month before the most blazing "purification light" falls on the earth, there will be "miracles" in the holy city, allowing the dark creatures stranded on the mainland to return abyss.

The Elvis Empire is the most tolerant country to dark creatures.

Ryan has a strange physique that attracts demons since he was a child, but he has never made any contract with demons.It wasn't until he met Sis and his party during his travels that the reason was revealed for the first time - he already possessed the qualities of a demon, so no demon could tempt him.

Sis is a very strange man, he always has a smile, unlike the smile that Ryan only puts on the corners of his lips when he is sarcastic, he is the kind of smile that is always open and happy.Henry, who was traveling with him, only found out after insinuation that Sis came out to relax because of his wife's death.If it weren't for seeing him occasionally looking into the distance and losing his mind, everyone might have thought that this man had no feelings for his dead wife at all.

Ryan walked behind Sis and looked up at the stars with him: "Thinking of your wife again?"

"No, I'm thinking about my son and daughter. They...maybe cuter." Siss turned his head: "What about you? The story between you and the young Lord Hawke who became a duke, the whole continent Got it. How could he be willing to let you go to Starr City..."

"I said I wanted the throne, and he went." Even though his sincerity had been trampled on, he was still ridiculously persistent.

"You lied to him?"

Ryan has long been used to Sis's piercing gaze, "Now my 'Second Brother' may have already sat in that position-I heard that he has been plotting for a long time, and as soon as I leave, he should be about to do it. At that time, 'Xiao Ke' also led the army to surround the capital, no matter who he helped, he would always be involved..." At the end of the speech, he actually smiled slightly.

"You are releasing a demon." Sis said seriously: "When the demon fully grows, you will be backlashed."

Ryan said a little harshly: "I can't wait."

Sis looked at him quietly, then sighed: "Sometimes seeing you is like looking in a mirror."

Ryan raised his eyebrows: "Look in the mirror?"

"Hypocritical, vicious, hopelessly despicable, closer to the origin of evil than the devil—but well disguised."

"You're very self-aware."

"same as you."

"Maybe that's why we can talk about everything," Ryan said of the friendship.

"Won't you regret it?" Sis changed the topic back: "If your 'second brother' really killed your father and cleaned up the empire, wouldn't you regret it at all?"

With such a childhood, Ryan has always been extremely indifferent to friends, brothers, sons, and even his father.But when he heard Sith's question, his heart skipped a beat, and he turned around and said, "It has nothing to do with me."

"You can stop it."

"It's none of my business," Ryan repeated.

"You're shaken," Siss asserted.

Ryan was silent.

Sis patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry. Your second brother sold his soul to the devil—maybe he will turn the Elvis Empire into hell, so the people in the Territory of Light will stop him."

Ryan said nothing more.

And under the same starry sky, the expression of Duke Hawke, who was far away in the capital, became terrifying.

Ryan is not in the capital!Where did he go?Let him dispatch the army of Starr City to help him seize the throne, but he is not here!

Hawk pinched Ryan's eldest son's small neck: "Say! Where did Ryan go?"

The child, who was only eleven or twelve years old, had a purple face and was in extreme pain.After the talent test, Bremer, always called a genius, found for the first time that he had no power to resist.

He asked his father?The father who had a hard time praising him?The father that people fear and admire but dare not approach?

The younger Ferry replied instead of his brother who could not speak: "We don't know..."

Another deception...?

Strangely, after hearing such an answer, Duke Hawke calmed down instead, and threw the Bremer in his hand to his subordinates: "Remember, protect them well, and control the king's capital if you have the opportunity." After speaking, he disappeared into the crowd out of thin air in front of you.

I'll surprise you... Ryan.

-

The turmoil in the Elvis Empire is over soon.Later, His Majesty the Emperor fell ill due to the usurpation of the second prince, and Duke Hawke, who led the army of Star City to surround the capital, finally pushed Prince Ryan to the throne.

The commemorative picture of Duke Hawke kneeling before the throne and kissing the back of His Majesty Ryan's hand was hung in the most conspicuous place in the palace.

It was a long time before anyone knew how Duke Hawke used to bring back His Majesty Ryan who was thousands of miles away.

That is the magic capable of tearing space that he and his adopted son Dila Lister could cast.

And before the world knew of its existence, His Majesty Ryan had already suffered from it... for a long, long time.
