[Angie] Double Wings

◇

Jules' retracted hand was still dripping with water, and the fingertips felt a little numb, as if Clavis' cool hand was still tightly holding his red fingers, just like he was under the faucet just now. did as...

That touch is still lingering.

He glanced back guiltily, and saw Clavis turn off the water, and quietly sit back in his original position in the strange silence after the sound of the water stopped.

The distance between them just now was only two inches... like an illusion.

Jules barely held back, tried his best not to look at Kravis, but didn't know how to speak next.

Are you talking about business?As he was thinking about it, Cleves spoke wearily.

"That's it."

"...What do you mean by 'That's it'?"

"Since you've ordered a security check, that's it."

Are these words telling him to leave?Jules pursed his lips tightly and raised his head, "Cravis, I hope you won't be so passive and lazy, always avoiding your own responsibilities... This is not a good thing." He began to reprimand him calmly, his tone still majestic Calm down, "The Patron Saint of Light and the Patron Saint of Darkness are the wings supporting Her Majesty the Queen after all, you know this very well..."

"The patron saint of light is so capable, can the patron saint of darkness be lazy?"

He couldn't help raising his voice, "Don't you understand your position and responsibilities?"

"Julies, figure it out." Even with such a line, Kravis's tone was still lazy, as if he couldn't get up, "I didn't come to this place voluntarily... If there is another body in this universe There are people who possess the dark Sacria, and I promise I won’t delay for a moment, I will pack my luggage and leave this ghost place immediately, and I will never delay your business.”

Jules stated the facts coldly, "No matter how much you deny what has happened, it is useless. Escaping from reality will not solve any problems. As long as the Sakria in your body does not fail, it is impossible for there to be a second world in this universe." Two people with a sufficient amount of Dark Sacria in their personal memory appeared. Therefore, it is your duty to stay in the Holy Land to support His Majesty in protecting this universe... a duty you cannot avoid."

Klevis waved his hand wearily, "Talking to you, it's better to make a wish with the statue of the divine bird."

Jules wanted to fight back, but what Clewis said just now made him pay attention.

The long 20 years since Kravis was taken away from his mother when he was only six years old, came to the Holy Land alone, and began to serve as the patron saint of darkness... What he used was indeed the sharp term of "life in captivity" words.Was life in the Holy Land a life of captivity for him?

Klevis's whisper just now, "You and I... have been twisted in our hearts..." echoed in his ears again.

Jules thought for a moment, then frowned, "...Did you suffer any kind of injury? Clavis."

"Are you worried about me?"

To his surprise, Clavis' voice was very soft.Is he asking for help?The twists he's been subjected to over the years...

Jules' heart softened, and he couldn't help but took half a step forward towards Klevis.

He wanted to get closer to Kravis, trying to figure out exactly what had hurt the man, but a voice in his head kept reminding him, warning him.Can't get close, Klevis is a deep pit that can never be filled. Once he gets close, he will lose his self-discipline and stand, and he will never be able to get out...

"...I was worried that I would be dragged down by you." Jules turned around and walked out the gate as soon as he finished speaking, intending to leave the mansion that made him feel uncomfortable. He only heard Clive Si snorted softly and went upstairs with his steady steps.

Is that all right?

Stay away from him... The incompatibility between them is no news, just keep it like this and ignore him.Jules comforted himself in his heart, it wasn't that he didn't want to control Clavis, since he was a child, how many times has he tried in the past 20 years?How many times did you fail again?Clavis is simply out of anyone's control.

He did his best...he already did his best.

But another disdainful voice in Jules' mind questioned him in turn. One of the duties of the Chief Patron Saint is to protect and take care of other Patron Saints.Could he really stand by and watch Kleves live this kind of life with a strong tendency to be world-weary, negative and self-loathing for many years?

Days like this are like living in hell.

Clavis once said something like that... Eight years ago on Clavis' birthday, Tia, the queen's assistant at the time, asked him what his wish was, and he said that he only wanted to die sooner.

Over the years, it seemed to be getting better, but it just became calmer, and Kravis was still alive like a walking dead.Maybe he has lost too much, even the hope of supporting him to live... Maybe he still has longing... Jules faintly touched the question that he didn't dare to think about in his heart, and subconsciously wanted to escape, but he couldn't bear it. Can't help but look back.

Jules looked towards the stairs. Unexpectedly, Klevis was walking to the middle of the stairs while holding on to the handrail, and at this moment he looked back silently at him.

There is a deep longing in those dark purple eyes...

The uncontrollable restlessness in his chest began to attack again, and Jules knew exactly what he wanted to do. He wanted to run quickly to the stairs leading to the second floor and grab Clavis.He was going to talk to Clavis, he was going to ask what that guy wanted in his heart?What could wake him up?

then……

He is about to put it into practice.That's right, he really wanted to be close to Klevis all the time, he couldn't let this person continue to suffer the kind of torture he didn't understand...

Perhaps he should really thank this unknown force that invaded the Holy Land today from the bottom of his heart.

Jules, who has always been steady, took a few steps forward quickly, which can be called a run, but the ankle he sprained when he jumped out of the carriage that had not stopped earlier, now he sang to him without knowing the times. Play against it.

The pain caused Jules to subconsciously stop, and he saw a disappointed expression on Clavis' face.

Can't stop.

Yes, can't stop.If he stopped now, he would lose the courage to approach that person.He has to catch up, hold Clavis and keep him from leaving...

Jules took another step, and as soon as he lifted his foot, there was a knock on the door behind him, like Oscar's voice, calling out the name of the owner of the mansion, "Lord Clavis?"

◇

"As soon as you get close to the Moonlight Mansion of Lord Clavis, the detection instruments of the Wangli Research Institute have an obvious response immediately... just like your Sun Shadow Mansion, Lord Jules," Oscar said carefully. I put the weird thing on my back and put it on the tea table in the living room of Yuehui Mansion, "Follow the reaction of the instrument to find it. It was buried in the courtyard of Mr. Clavis, in the clump near the wall of poems." Behind the tuberose...Master Clavis, I'm sorry to dig up your flower."

The owner of the mansion didn't answer, his expression was very cold.

Jules carefully picked up the carved horn, "Is there something like this in my mansion?"

"Yes, it's exactly the same, and it's also buried in the courtyard." Oscar wiped his muddy hands clean, "I suspect that there is one in the courtyard of our patron saint's mansion. However, no one was found in the courtyard of the palace, which has always been tightly guarded." .”

"It's good that there is no one in the palace." Jules breathed a sigh of relief, holding the ram's horn and muttering, "Did you find it with an instrument? Is this the source of the unknown fluctuation?"

Pasa, the person in charge of the Royal Research Institute, shook his head, "No, Master Jules, at present, we can only think that the energy that caused the unknown fluctuations surrounds this thing."

"But this kind of horn obviously responds to that unknown energy..."

"What about the ram's horn is a trivial matter, and it's meaningless to study it," Klevis, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted coldly, "If possible, let's think about the 'energy behind it' first."

"What do you mean?" Jules asked immediately.Clavis seemed to have a certain understanding of this kind of thing.

Cleves didn't answer Jules directly, but just reached out to take the horn of the ram, "Pasa, this kind of thing can't radiate any power..." Although his right hand was stretched out to Jules, his face Kong, however, faced Pasa, with a very deliberate evasion, "This should be 'reflecting' the power of some kind of curse."

"so……"

"The real power lies elsewhere," said Kravis flatly.

"I understand." Pasa nodded, "I will investigate in this direction."

The four of them were discussing when there was another knock on the door outside.This time, it was Saint Lumiere, the guardian of water who was restricted to stay in the divine bird palace.He looked nervous and moved in a hurry. He suddenly saw the chief guardian, San Jules, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

Jules frowned, "Have you taken my words for granted?" He clearly ordered the other six patron saints to stay in the Divine Bird Palace temporarily.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jules." Lumiere is in charge of the Sacria of Water, which represents gentleness, and his people are also full of tenderness, kindness and consideration, "I'm really worried about Mr. Clavis. , so... I am really sorry for leaving the palace without your consent."

Jules snorted, watched Clevers get up and walk to Lumière with cold eyes, and lowered his head to talk to him in a low voice.

"I'm fine," Cleves's conversation with Lumière has always been soft, "you don't have to worry."

"It's great to see that you're all right, Lord Clavis. Maybe my mood has also been affected by that inexplicable restlessness and worry, and I've been restless," Lumière sighed, "I don't know What should be done."

Jules barely restrained his urge to stay and listen to their conversation, "Oscar, Pasa, let's go. Let's get all this stuff out of the Patron Saint's mansion first."

As he walked past Clevis, Jules tensed every nerve in his body, carefully guarding against Clevis' sight, but he just passed by, deliberately ignoring his indifferent eyes. Eyes, leave it alone.

◇

Jules loses ground...

As the head of the nine patron saints, he should treat them all equally and without selfishness, but he has been thinking about such and such trivial things about Cleves in his head, thinking endlessly, and even jealous of being with Cleves. Lumière, who has always been friends and has been by his side these years.

"Lord Jules," after digging out all the goat horns buried in the courtyard of the mansion of the nine patron saints, Pasa used one of the horns to receive the power to find the unknown power that Kravis said "Your guess is correct, the source of power is indeed outside the holy land... The source of emission is outside the atmosphere, very close to the sun."

"Well, no matter who it is, it's impossible to secretly set up some device in the Holy Land to emit energy." Jules's thoughts still revolved around Kravis, and he barely pulled himself together, "Oscar, let the Eagle Troops guard The fleet of the Wang Li Research Institute went to investigate, and shot it down if possible." He raised the quill, intending to sign and approve this operation.

Oscar suddenly reached out and picked up the quill that was held upside down in Jules' hand, "Master Jules, are you too worried about today's affairs?"

"I'm fine." Jules tried his best to pull himself together, signed his name, and turned his head to look at Assistant Officer Eliot as if nothing had happened, "Has anyone from outside the Holy Land come in and out recently?"

"There is only one ceramist from Sunset Star..." Elliott added, "Master Clavis just asked about the location of this ceramist's residence and said he wanted to visit him."

Jules stood up suddenly, "Cravis is going to visit that potter?"
