Norris is a guard in the palace, and today should have been an unusual day for him.

He changed shifts with his colleagues at [-]:[-] pm as usual.Norris was guarding a small gate on the first floor of the palace.The small gate is close to the edge of the West Garden. If the royal family suddenly wants to leave the castle and go to the back mountain, this small gate is a good choice.

But after Vader came to power, few people passed by here.

Norris straightened his back even though there would be no passers-by.He wears a red uniform and will stand here until the night.After that, another squad of guards would come to replace him while he went on patrol.After finishing his work, he would drink some wine in the corner of the palace belonging to his servants, and then sleep.This is his peaceful and simple day.

But today is a bit unusual.

In the quiet and empty corridor on the second floor in the past, there was a faint voice not far away.As soon as those voices came out, they seemed to be cut off, as if someone had easily blocked their throats.

"Go... to find the butler!"

"Who the hell is he..."

"My God! His face... I remember, he is..."

In the uneasy air, Norris vaguely heard someone say this, and then there was a scream.

"Sorry, I can only trouble you to stay on this wall for a while."

A voice ended the man's exclamation.It was an extremely beautiful voice, like a clear mountain spring.

"The guards in the entire corridor have been knocked down... Norris, you stay here, I'll find someone!" His colleague obviously heard the movement on the second floor, patted him on the shoulder hastily, and left up.

Norris nodded. In the same period, he has always been the best guard.It is the best choice for him to leave behind.

Enemy attack?assassin?Norris guarded the door nervously, holding a decorative saber.He stared fixedly at the corridor on the second floor, wondering what would come down there.

Finally, he saw someone coming.The saber in Norris's hand trembled unconsciously when he saw the handsome face under the long silver-white hair and the smiling wine-red eyes.

In the twilight, the man's figure was as beautiful as an angel walking out of a mural.He was wearing a long black coat, and his long hair was casually tied up with a ribbon and tied behind his head.Two strands of untied white hair hang down from the temples, brushing the slender chin and white pointed ears.

That, that is... Norris suddenly remembered!

It was Vader's "canary" that he had glimpsed in the garden, the one being pushed for a walk by the maids.

But that time he only saw a vague human figure, and this was the first time he saw his facial features clearly.

Yet it felt so... familiar.

The canary strolls about in an almost graceful manner.He descended the long staircase, each step as if he were on his way to a ball.When he descended to the last step, he leaned his elbows on the carved handle, and his wine red eyes cast a glance at the guards rushing from afar.Then he smiled and looked at Norris.

Norris has seen many beauties, but none of them seem to have magical powers like the one in front of him.He stared blankly at those wine-red eyes, feeling as if his soul was about to be taken away by something spinning inside.

The beauty is soft and fresh, making it hard to imagine that he was the only one who knocked down the guards in the entire corridor just now.

No, not humans...not beasts, no horns, and not elves...

What is he?

"I want to go to the garden." The beauty opened her lips and said softly, "Can you make way for me?"

Norris then remembered his duty, he raised his sword and said, "You..."

"It seems impossible."

The next moment, the sword in Norris' hand was thrown to the ground by him in an instant.

Norris's mind was blank, the beauty's speed was too fast, and he didn't even have a chance to resist.What shocked him even more was the weapon the man had used to swing his sword.

——It was a gentleman's cane that he casually pulled out from the statue next to him!

Isn't he just a canary raised by the emperor?A canary that has to be pushed by a maid even to go to the garden.

How could he be so fast? !And his face...

Some vague memory appeared in his mind.

In the next second, the beauty flashed back behind him at an extremely fast speed, and stunned him with a hand knife.

At the moment before coma, Norris finally remembered the source of this face!

"You... Holy Son..." His eyes were wide open and he couldn't believe it.

"Yes." The man whispered in his ear, "You know me too?"

The guard's body fell slowly.Lucian whistled and opened the door with his cane.

Outside the door is the boundless twilight, gardens, corridors, and the small door he will eventually arrive at.The sound of the guards leading the team to run came from behind, Lucian shook his head, raised the corners of his lips, and walked outside.

"The second checkpoint is over." He said.

The third level is not so easy to deal with.That is the guard patrolling the West Garden.The news of Lucian's escape had not yet reached their ears, but the pursuit of the guards at the second gate was enough for them to understand the nature of the matter.

Lucian walked among them like a stroll in a garden. He formed a seal very quickly, sealing their feet in an instant, and stunned them with his cane.The fourth checkpoint was also cracked very easily. In front of him, the guards were almost vulnerable.

Lucian flung off all the pursuers with a lot of crutches.The small gate is close at hand, but the guards who should be here are empty.Just as his fingers touched the handle, he was keenly aware of the arrival of someone behind his ears.

Lucian turned around.

In the setting sun, the orc guard Calvin stood behind him—and he was the only one.He was wearing armor, holding a spear in his hand, panting heavily, and his orange eyes were full of tension.

He stared straight at Lucian, as if he wanted to nail his figure to death in his own eyes.Lucian raised the corners of his lips, and casually pinned a strand of white hair behind his ear with his fingers.

"It's you," Lucian said, "Calvin—that's your name, isn't it?"

"I, I am the emperor's guard. I am ordered by the steward to catch the fugitives in the palace..."

He's nervous, Lucian thought.

"But are you really here to catch me?" Lucian chuckled and stretched out his finger, "Look, there's no one behind you."

"..."

He heard the orc guard gulp nervously, as if he had been hit by something.

"There should be at least two people on duty, but you came here alone. What did you do to that companion?"

"I……"

"I know you've been watching me secretly, from the day I came back." Lucian leaned close to his ear and whispered, "You didn't come to catch me 'by the emperor's order', you wanted to... ..."

"See you."

"..."

The orc guard couldn't utter a word. He stared at Lucian dumbfounded, gritted his teeth, and his body was shaking—it was the kind of ecstasy that a fanatic would have when he was favored by God.

"...I know, the Emperor... No, Vader, he doesn't treat you at all, he only treats you as a plaything! Yes, a plaything!" He said with dilated pupils, extremely excited and angry, "He has no sincerity towards you, I Every time I see you being treated like that, I...I want to save you a long time ago, save you from his side and come to mine. "

"Trust me! I want to protect you! Believe me!" He suddenly became excited, "How dare those people treat you like this...God, the first time I saw you, I felt that you...the holy son of the aloof, was He was framed like this, I really..."

"Shh."

Lucian said softly.The orc guard trembled and stopped talking.

To him, Lucian's every move is full of magic power enough to control his soul.

"Now is not the time to talk about these things. I need to escape quickly, escape..." He pursed his lips, and looked in the direction of Vader's bedroom with a little fear in his eyes.All this, of course, came into Calvin's eyes.

"I will help you!" He grabbed Lucian's palm and said sincerely, "You must believe me, I have a house, although I usually live in the palace, there is usually only my house there. All the possessions. Few people know about this place, and neither does Vader, you can hide in it..."

——Of course I believe you, the orcs who are insane and insane can do anything.

Of course Lucian knew that this orc just wanted him to be his property from Vader's hands.

But he also knew that with the help of this orc, he could easily escape from the territory of the human race, find a way, and reach the grassland of the orc.

In the original book, this orc is a little nobleman of the orc clan who committed a crime and was exiled. He knows the orc clan very well.There is even a precious orc token in his home that he doesn't know about - wearing it, foreigners can also disguise themselves as orcs.

What's more, keeping him is equivalent to keeping an eyeliner by Vader's side.

On the face, Lucian smiled softly.He showed a somewhat flattered expression, and "politely" and carefully declined a few words.The orc's invitation became more urgent.

He wanted to prove to Lucian that he did have the ability to protect him, and told him the address of the house.In the end, Lucian lowered his eyelashes and replied with a pale face: "Well, when there is a need, I... I will go to you."

—Of course he would go to this house, find the token that could disguise his identity, and temporarily use it as his safe house.He would be safe until Calvin could "eat" him as he wished.

"I seem to hear footsteps... I have to go!" Lucian said, and opened the small door. Before leaving, he turned his head for the last time and smiled palely at Calvin, "Thank you."

After speaking, he hurriedly disappeared behind the small door and left the palace.

Night is coming.Lucian walked carefully in the woods, using his power to conceal his breath.It is not a good choice to go to Calvin's house right now - with his appearance, this white hair and the blood-red magic pattern on his forehead, walking in the royal city is too conspicuous.

Even if those people didn't recognize the identity of his former son, this obviously alien appearance was suspicious enough.Coupled with the prevalence of succubus slaves in the black market... If it is not managed well, someone will recognize the ownership of his magic pattern, causing some disturbances.

Lucian knew a potion that could conceal his appearance.After drinking that potion, he could temporarily disguise himself as another handsome human race.The ingredients for the potion were not difficult to find. He walked all the way on the back mountain, pulling out the ingredients he needed and holding them in his hands.

With the help of mana, Lucian was not tired.But for some reason, the more he walked, the more flustered he felt from the bottom of his heart.He always felt that there was something in his body, jumping up and down along the blood vessels, and his cheeks began to feel slightly hot.

He gritted his teeth and planned to find a place to rest.

After walking through the back mountain, there is a forest and a gurgling river.It was almost dark, Lucian flicked his fingertips, guided the way with the light ball, and walked towards the other side of the river.He felt more and more uncomfortable in his body, as if something was waking up, and his whole body felt a little sore.

He kept tracing his current path in his mind to confirm that he was not lost.The place he was going to now was an abandoned church deep in the woods.As early as a few years ago, the clergy inside moved to another more prosperous church.

He had to find a safe place first, stay for the first three days, refine potions, and...

He felt his cheeks heat up slightly.

Deal with the abnormality of your own body.

It was already dark when Lucian arrived at the dilapidated church.He pushed open the door and walked in cautiously, at the same time, he felt the soreness getting heavier.

There was no one inside the church, just dust and prayer pews covered in nets.Lucian felt his legs were very tired, he just wanted to cast a cleansing spell on the seat, put the herbs on the other side, sit down and rest...

"Well!"

Suddenly a hand stretched out in the darkness and covered his mouth!

The man had something like a scar on his palm, but it was as strong as a stone.Lucian struggled and subconsciously wanted to hit him with a fireball.

Then, he heard the man's panting, uncertain voice: "Lu... Xi'an?"

Lucian was stunned.

"Lucien...it's really you! Lucian!"

There was moonlight shining through the glass, reflecting on the faces of the two of them.At that moment, Lucian saw the bewildered but ecstatic face of the visitor.
