Lord Duke

Chapter 25Like

Slant returned to the Duke's mansion, flipped through some books in a good mood, and finalized the previous order indifferently.He secretly dispatched a small number of elites to the royal city, usually hiding in various parts of the royal city, obeying orders.

He unfolded a volume of secret letters, and this was the latest situation received by the Duke's Mansion after he left.Duke Duck had told him before that something wasn't right in parts of the west, and had given him some spies to get inside those who were moving.According to reports from the spies, the serfs have begun to move around, and the situation is about to change.Slante raised his eyebrows slightly, with a frivolous look on his face.

He crumpled up the information indifferently and threw it aside.Naturally, there will be subordinates to clean up.Then, Slante began to pull out his own industry report form.Well, this month, I have earned far more money than expected, not bad.

After all, he was truly indifferent to these struggles and kingship and whatnot.Just like many other nobles, as long as he doesn't offend him or touch his interests, he won't think much about it.Although he is not a businessman, he is just as profit-seeking.Not for anything else, just for the joy of chasing profit, and then successfully amassing wealth from other people.

Perhaps the only thing he didn't consider paying for equal or greater rewards was liking Duke Payne.He wants to give away all the chips in his hand, regardless of whether he will lose everything.Not only Duke Payne, he also felt that he had become less like himself.

His brows and eyes were a little careless, and there was a little darkness in his green eyes.He is a qualified cold and calm nobleman in his bones, personable, frivolous but polite, gentle and elegant, etc. Maybe it is him, or maybe it is just a mask he has worn for too long to take off.

Slant fiddled with the blond hair and thought about it seriously. Although he is not deeply in love now, he really likes her. It is not deep but definitely not superficial.He tugged at his hair dejectedly, and began to think about how to make a successful confession without being rejected.

There was not much time left for him.

He took a sip of the freshly brewed green tea and began to quickly flip through the poetry collection.Well, if it really doesn’t work, I have to come up with a song on the spot.

********

The fireworks exploded one after another.Red, blue, yellow, and green are bright in the dark sky, which is very beautiful.

There were really too many people at the meeting place.The flow of people is like weaving, bustling.The hem of Payne's long black coat formed a beautiful arc, and he tried his best to walk against the flow of people.

Seeing so many people, Slant felt a deep sense of helplessness.He was submerged in the crowd, and he tried not to let the crowd push him out of his original position.

The agreed place was in front of the marble stone sculpture in Mansu Park.When the agreed time came, the two failed to meet.Slant stared at more and more people almost blankly, and he couldn't help grinding his teeth in hatred: I made a mistake... I didn't think it through!He tightened the dark green as the secondary color and black as the base color of the outer shirt, dejectedly.The gorgeous fireworks in the sky did not save his good mood.

Payne felt that it was much more convenient to carry a cane.At least, he won't get lost in the crowd casually, nor will he be overwhelmed by the crowd going against him.

It's just that the time has come.He hasn't found Slanter yet.This vast sea of ​​people is full of people at a glance. Finding someone is like finding a needle in a haystack. How easy is it?Payne couldn't help but feel a little anxious, which was mixed with depression and deep helplessness.The gorgeous fireworks in the sky also failed to save his good mood.

The crowd is still walking.The young men and women smiled sweetly and signed hands.People who come out with family and friends are in groups of three or four, happily talking about the joys they encountered along the way.The atmosphere was joyful, and it seemed that only Slant on one side was feeling depressed and Payne on the other side was getting more and more helpless.

Payne walked against the flow of people, and Slanter followed the flow of people. Neither of them knew that even in this vast crowd, they were walking towards each other.

They start to approach.

They passed each other at a distance of several people.

The sky began to set off more fireworks.It is all red, the red ground is like fire like ruby, bright, gorgeous and beautiful.Payne couldn't help but stop, he turned around and looked up, red fireworks reflected in his eyes.The crowd started to disperse as they walked slowly.

Under the same firework, Slante turned around and looked up, and the beautiful firework locked into his eyes.

Fireworks fade into darkness.There are only a few sparks left struggling to continue lighting up the sky.The crowd began to disperse.They are going to Mansu Park ahead, or to other places.

Only two people were still standing there, motionless.Across the sparse crowd that could hardly constitute an obstacle, the moment the fireworks extinguished and they looked down, the two discovered each other at the same time.

It turned out that they were so close.

Looking back suddenly, you are in the place where the fireworks are gorgeous.

In the darkness, the two hearts were pounding, and they seemed to be getting closer and closer.And they are indeed getting closer.

Payne and Slant walked forward, completely ignoring the sparse crowd around them.They walked together, holding hands firmly and firmly.Everything seems to be unspoken, and everything seems to urgently need words to express.

Payne coughed lightly, and said first, "I like you. Let's be together."

If he wants, he can say the most touching words, but at this moment, his heart is incredibly soft, so all the gorgeous and moving love words seem empty and pretentious, and the language he wants to say must return to the simplest and most The authentic sentence has become the simplest but most sincere "I like you. Let's be together."

Slant was a little annoyed, he smiled discouragedly, spread his hands and said, "You got ahead of me. I should have chased you." The sly look in Payne's eyes was very obvious, and Slant just looked at funny.The Payne in front of him is gradually no longer the image roughly summarized by those few words such as 'expressionless', 'arrogant and indifferent', 'very prestigious', but more and more vivid, only different in front of him. Duke of Payne.

Maybe from the moment I met him, it shouldn't be.Slant stroked his chin rather narcissistically, expressing his satisfaction with this idea.

The two walked forward.They avoid crowded places and look for some secluded places to wander.

They walked through Mansu Park.

They walked across Willingen Square.

They walked across the Volga.

They didn't speak, just looked at each other and smiled.

The fireworks in the sky began to explode again.This time it's blue.Payne held Slanter's hand, and he clasped it a little tighter and harder, and he could vaguely see the master's nervous heart.Slant could only feel his own heartbeat, so clear and powerful, he said a little embarrassedly: "Let's go, I'll take you to a place."

********

The view here is very wide.At the same time, it is very quiet here.Surrounded by shadows of whirling trees, this is an abandoned watchtower in this grove.

However, it cannot be said to be abandoned.It can be seen that it has been well rested.

Payne leaned on the railing, looked down, felt dizzy, and couldn't help but wonder how he climbed to such a high watchtower.

Slant climbed onto the railing next to him, bent and half leaned on the railing, his soft blond hair was blown by the cool night wind, seeing Payne's heart itch—he also stretched out his hand to mess up the Blonde.Slant said lazily: "I discovered this place in the past few days. I just thought it was fun..." He turned sideways, stared at Payne intently, and then smiled: "I didn't expect, it's still nice place."

As soon as he finished speaking, more fireworks rose behind him, dazzling the entire night sky.They stand so tall that they seem to reach the sky with their hands.They are far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and only the sound of fireworks exploding and each other's breathing... and heartbeat are in their ears.

Slante turned his back to the sky behind him, and said with a smile: "You confessed, I haven't yet. Don't waste the poetry collection I made up before I came out."

Payne laughed dumbfounded, and indulged, "Say it."

Slant cleared his throat, but he only said one sentence: "You, yes, me. I like you." He paused every word very seriously.

He thought: Love doesn't know where it started...but it will always go deeper and deeper.At that time, I will make my most important commitment.

Payne couldn't help but leaned forward and kissed her like a dragonfly.He was about to pull away, but Slante's eyes were wide open, but he leaned forward and pulled him violently, and the warm breath came over him again.Payne wrapped his arms around Slant's waist, and he closed his eyes slightly, deepening the kiss.At this moment, he didn't want to think about anything.

Time seemed to stand still.

The fireworks exploded again, faintly illuminating the two very close figures on the high platform.It's obviously a little blurry, but there is an ambiguous tenderness growing in the darkness.
