Chapter 49: See or Not
The sword energy mixed with magic rushed towards Thor. The overwhelming murderous intent was like a giant barrier, trapping Thor to death on the spot.
Thor couldn't dodge and was directly knocked away by the sword energy.
"puff---"
As his body flew outwards, Thor spat out a large mouthful of blood in extreme pain.
The blood splattered everywhere, splashing onto the arena and even onto Paso.
Paso's eyes were cold and he held the sword in both hands, with his brother's blood on his face.
He didn't move, nor did he wipe the blood that splattered on his cheek.
The pungent smell of blood lingered at his nose, causing Paso's ambition and desire to grow to an incredible level.
"You lose." said Paso.
Lu Yi, who was standing in the audience, was slightly stunned, but he was thinking in his heart that it was most likely Paso who gave in to him in the previous three minutes.
If Paso had used all his strength to deal with him like he did with Thor, Lu Yi, who was only a junior apprentice magician, would not have been able to last even a minute.
Not to mention knocking the sword out of his hand.
Lu Yi looked up at Paso who had an expressionless face.
Below the stage, Thor was holding his chest in pain, with blood still flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Chris and Sia hurried forward to help him up, and immediately fed two top-grade healing potions into Thor's mouth.
"Are you going to kill him?!" Xia looked up and yelled at Paso.
"He is your own brother!"
He was still trying to hold back tears, but his gaze was clear and determined, and his whole body exuded an exceptionally eye-catching attraction.
Paso narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sword intent shot out through the air, directly cutting off a strand of Xia's golden hair.
Strands of curly blonde hair instantly floated in the air.
Xia was frightened by the sword intent that seemed to be wrapped in murderous intent. She stared at him blankly and opened her mouth but could not utter a word.
"you……"
"You? What qualifications do you have to speak?" Paso said softly.
He looked at Xia with contempt, as if he was not looking at a noble orc friend from the Holy See, but just a lowly and insignificant grass.
Xia was hurt by his eyes that seemed to look at her like garbage. She lowered her head to avoid his contemptuous gaze, and the tears that she had been holding back on her face suddenly rolled down like pearls from a broken string.
Chris patted his shoulder wordlessly.
"Xia is a distinguished guest from the Holy See. It's not nice for Prince Paso to speak so harshly. If you don't even have the most basic royal etiquette, how can you be a leader..."
Paso turned his hand and swung out another sharp sword intent.
The sword intent was so precise that although it was just one strike, it caused a tiny blood mark to appear on the cheeks of Chris and Xia at the same time.
"Should I praise you for being Thor's companions? Even the noisy ones are exactly like him."
Paso's words were harsh, but his expression was so superior, as if no matter how harsh his words were, they were the truth.
"You!" Chris was furious and wiped the blood from his cheeks with trembling hands.
Paso hummed with an ambiguous tone, and it was unclear whether he was mocking their arrogance or marveling at their stupidity and naivety.
He no longer wasted his gaze on the three people, but turned his eyes to Lu Yi who had been standing quietly on the stage.
Paso threw away the sword in his hand and said gently to Lu Yi: "Tran, come up, come to me."
Lu Yi, who was caught off guard by being called, blinked his eyes, and was unable to react in time as if he was out of the matter.
Paso was extremely patient and said, "Tran, come to me."
This double standard behavior was in stark contrast to what happened just now, which made the elders watching were shocked. Even their original opinion that he was too violent had quietly changed.
After all, compared to a cold-blooded killing machine, Paso, who called Tran's name gently and patiently, was more like a young and love-minded orc who was deeply in love.
Lu Yi glanced at the people around him who were looking at him silently, and then looked at Paso whose body was covered in blood.
When Paso was about to call his name again, Lu Yi finally moved slowly forward.
This picture is really indescribably weird.
It was clearly a tense scene after a fight between brothers, but at this moment everyone just watched Lu Yi climb onto the stage in silence.
Lu Yi walked up to Paso, stopped, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Paso handed him a soft and clean handkerchief and said seriously, "They fed Sol the potion because he was injured by me."
"But I'm not injured, and the blood on my body is not my blood."
Lu Yi looked puzzled.
"What I'm trying to say is, you don't have to feed me the potion, but can you help me wipe the blood off my face?"
"I can't see where the blood is on my face. I need someone to help me."
And I hope that person is you, Paso looked straight at Lu Yi.
Lu Yi suddenly realized, and thought, if he wanted to help wipe the blood, he should just say it directly, why go around in circles.
He thought it was something important.
Lu Yi muttered a few words in his mind, but still took the handkerchief obediently.
Although Paso had not transformed into a beast, due to the orc's overly tall stature, Lu Yi could only reach his chin with great difficulty.
Lu Yi wanted to ask him to lower his head slightly, but Paso slowly bent down before he could speak.
Paso bent down in front of him, with his head lowered meekly, as if waiting for Lu Yi to bestow upon him the unique crown.
Lu Yi vaguely understood the purpose of his doing this.
But the more he understood, the more silent he became.
Tran will always be with Paso, but Rant's future will not be limited to the Orc Forest, and neither will Lu Yi.
No matter what Paso's purpose was, he could only pretend not to know and remain silent.
Lu Yi opened his beautiful light amber eyes and quietly wiped the blood off his face.
"Tran." Paso spoke again.
Lu Yi felt a bad feeling in his heart.
Then he heard Paso's extremely serious words.
"Tran, will you be my queen?"
He wanted to promise Tran many things, but the words got stuck in his throat, filling his heart.
Language is the most useless, Paso thought, he would prove to Tran that his love was not as cheap as that of the former Beast King.
The tragedy of their parents will not happen to them.
Paso looked at Lu Yi seriously.
But Lu Yi just silently clenched the handkerchief in his hand.
In this silent moment, Tran's answer seemed clear.
Paso's violent heartbeat suddenly cooled down in that second.
His flustered mood suddenly turned into a stagnant state, and an uncontrollable sourness came from his eyes.
I feel like something is missing in my heart, it feels empty.
Paso was struck by this strange and nameless complex emotion. He closed his eyes and dared not look at Lu Yi's light amber eyes which were so clear that they even reflected his own embarrassed self.
"…So it was just my wishful thinking all along, right?"
Paso said softly, with a tremor in his voice that only Lu Yi could hear.
Although Lu Yi didn't want to hurt him, deceiving him would only bring greater harm.
He began to regret the white lie he had told Paso at dawn.
Even Tran couldn't stay with him forever.
Perhaps the throne really is a lonely and endless road.
And Paso has to walk this road alone.
Lu Yi nodded imperceptibly.
Paso closed his eyes, but he could sense the subtle air flow trends around Lu Yi.
Paso took a deep breath and opened his eyes.
His eyes were cold and solemn, as if the fragility just now was just Lu Yi's illusion.
"Let's go, let's go back... back to the bedroom."
Paso extended his hand to Lu Yi.
Lu Yi sighed, but still held his hand and followed him down the duel stage.
And below the stage, several elders were already standing together waiting for Paso.
Looking at Thor who was still lying on the ground, Lu Yi thought there would probably be no second possibility.
…
Lu Yi followed Paso back to the bedroom.
The two were silent.
Lu Yi opened his mouth, but finally said softly: "...We have only known each other for less than a day."
He and Wavelin had only arrived at the Orc Forest yesterday afternoon, and although a lot had happened in those twenty hours, it had indeed been less than a day.
It was only natural that he would reject Paso, right?
"Do you think I'm too reckless?" asked Paso.
"You will meet orcs you like more in the future." Lu Yi answered the question irrelevantly.
Paso shook his head.
His hair was no longer in braids, and he never would wear it in a braid again.
He carefully placed Paso's little bell and red rope in the small cabinet beside the bed, which also contained the ring he had carefully prepared for Tran and the knotted necklace he had made with his own red rope.
Unfortunately, before he could send it out, it seemed that it could no longer be sent out.
"I won't force you, Tran. We still have a lot of time. You can see me slowly."
Lu Yi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, but the smile looked forced.
The bedroom appeared in front of the two.
Paso stopped, looked at Lu Yi and said softly: "My coronation ceremony will be in seven days, are you willing to come?"
As if he was afraid that Lu Yi would refuse, he immediately added: "Not as queen, but just as a good friend."
There was a hint of humble pleading in his eyes, which made Lu Yi's words of refusal stuck in his throat.
"We'll see when the time comes." Lu Yi said with difficulty.
However, Paso took this as consent, his eyes lit up and his expression became much more lively.
"Tran, have a good rest in the palace. I will be back to accompany you as soon as I finish dealing with government affairs!"
Lu Yi watched him leave.
Only after Paso could no longer be seen did Lu Yi slowly walk into the bedroom.
The camouflage potion only lasts for twenty-four hours.
Lu Yi could no longer remember exactly when he took the medicine yesterday.
[“857, when did I take the medicine yesterday? I can’t quite remember.”] Lu Yi subconsciously asked the almighty 857.
857 looked through his memory and confirmed: [“It was 3:40 yesterday, which is less than two hours from now.”]
Lu Yi sighed when he heard this.
[“857, do you think Paso can be back within two hours?”]
[I don't think so.] 857 said, [Host, do you want to use your points to extend the duration of the camouflage potion?]
[If we extend the time by seven days, we can even watch the coronation ceremony of the Orcs! It will be a grand event!] 857's mechanical voice flashed with anticipation.
Lu Yi just shook his head.
There was a gentle reluctance in his eyes, but the words he spoke were as cold and hard as gravel.
[“No, let’s leave once the potion wears off.”]
If I could see Paso one last time, then I would.
If not, then just disappear.
The author has something to say:
Lu Yi, a sweetheart who looks warm on the outside but is actually cold on the inside, hahahaha
In this article, almost all thrones are lonely.
Except for Lu Yi's throne, there was a lot of noise:)
