As he said this, Allen glanced at Rong Shang intentionally or unintentionally, but then quickly turned his face away, afraid that she would notice.
Helian Junmo naturally didn't miss this action. He turned his head to look at Rong Shang, and subconsciously tightened his grip on her hand.
Helian Junmo finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that his mother and Bertie had no romantic entanglement.
He lowered his head and sincerely said "thank you" to Allen.
Allen scoffed. "I'm just stating the facts."
His original intention was not to help him solve his problems.
Helian Junmo nodded. "Anyway, thank you."
"Yuan'er, let's go."
Hearing the approaching footsteps, she feared the vampires who had come to capture her were already nearby.
He reached out and put his arm around her waist. Seeing Rong Shang nod, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Boyuan."
Finally, Allen's reluctant voice came from behind.
Rong Shang, who had been silent until now, stopped in her tracks. She looked up at Helian Junmo, and only after he nodded did she slowly turn around and walk in front of Allen.
Take care.
The unfamiliar and official tone came from her mouth, and Allen's eyes flickered, with glistening liquid glistening on his face.
Looking at her with that same burning, affectionate gaze, Allen asked, "Will you come back in the future?"
Because Helian Junmo was still there, Allen perhaps felt something was amiss, so he lowered his eyes and quickly explained, "Oh, what I meant by 'later' was waiting for you to spend the rest of your life with him."
Humans have short lifespans, but vampires have long lifespans.
He knew she could never love him, but in the lonely days to come, could she come back and see him one more time?
Rong Shang doesn't like owing favors to others. This time, Allen helped her, and she will naturally repay him in the future.
After pondering for a moment, Rong Shang nodded, "I think so."
She glanced at him, then finally smiled kindly at him, "Take care."
"Um."
After responding to this, Allen immediately turned around.
Footsteps were already approaching from behind, starting loudly but gradually fading into very faint sounds.
They...have already left.
The moment the hot, clear liquid welled up in his eyes, Allen immediately raised his hand to wipe it away.
He looked up and could only see the bright crystal chandelier above him.
Her reflection will never be seen again in his sight.
Allen's heart finally started to ache, and he clutched his chest, his face pale.
In the dim light, he seemed to be muttering something:
Bo Yuan, will you stay with him for the rest of your life and give me back the past?

Minutes after Rong Shang and Helian Junmo escaped from the castle, the vampires who were ordered to capture Rong Shang arrived.
But now, in the silent corridor, only Allen's lonely figure remains.
"Count, have you seen the princess?"
It's really strange. I clearly followed her all the way here, but in the blink of an eye, the princess has already disappeared without a trace.
"You guys are stupid; you managed to lose track of them the whole way here, and you're asking me?"
The cold words came from Allen's mouth, leaving the vampires behind him looking embarrassed.
"Let's go inside and take a look." Some vampires glanced at the half-open door and felt something was off.
But just as he lifted his foot, Allen said again, "The princess ran east."
If Bertie's death is discovered so quickly and reaches the Prince, they will have no chance of escaping.
