Chapter 64 [VIP]
After the silk ribbon was untied, Jian Yue and Sinderel looked at each other.
When the pair of emerald eyes reappeared before her eyes, Jian Yue was a little dazed.
It was like meeting again after a lifetime, but for her, only a few days had passed.
But Sinderel waited for her for five whole years - he changed, becoming mature, steady and upright.
Jian Yue opened her mouth, but the words changed when they reached her lips: "...Where's Amra?"
"She lost her memory and is at Kidd's place, but she's safe."
She was still not used to such intimacy and tried to escape, but was trapped back in Sinderel's arms: "Isn't this the answer you wanted?"
"No." Jian Yue closed her eyes. "I just feel that you have changed."
"Changed?" Sinderel's breath was thick with the scent of blood. "Do you still remember that I killed that woman?"
"She died in front of me, Sinderel."
"What if I tell you that she's not dead, and neither is Mary?"
Jian Yue suddenly grabbed his arms and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Yes. They are not dead, just injured. That was all done for Kidd to see. They can't live here anymore, so I arranged for them to go to the vineyards in the south, where it is peaceful and quiet - just like the hometown you mentioned."
He tightened his arms. "If possible, I'd like to live there with you." Unfortunately, regret took over. "But we have to wait until everything is settled."
He finally let go of the person he'd been thinking about day and night, and looked intently into her purple eyes. "Is this what you look like?"
Death and blood were only one step away, but he ignored them completely, with only Jian Yue in his eyes.
That gaze was so intense that even the moonlight it cast was insignificant. Jian Yue felt uncomfortable being stared at, and was thankful that the dim light obscured the two blushes on her temples. "...It's not pretty. Don't look at it anymore."
But Xindrell shook his head: "No, you are the most beautiful."
She came quietly, knocked on his heart, and had already occupied a place in his heart that no one could replace.
"I love you, Yue."
"Sinderel, I am not from this world."
"I know, it's just that I love you just because you are you."
So what if I’m not stunningly beautiful? So what if I don’t have any money or status?
As long as she is Jian Yue, he is willing to give up everything.
Those sincere words were touching enough, but Jian Yue could only avoid them now.
If Kidd isn't eliminated, they can't really be together.
"..." She turned her head away cruelly, "What's the current situation in the palace? Why does Kidd want to kill you, but also wants to support you to become king?"
"The situation in the palace is not good, because he needs a sustainable source of power." Xindrell replied, "You should remember the disappearances at the Hunting Club—that was Kidd's doing. All those girls were sacrificed to him and became his source of power."
"The energy from the slave farms and the sacrifices of virgins is far from enough for Kidd to restore his wings. His goal is this entire world. Because it was created by Amra using divine power, not only me, but the entire world is filled with divine power."
Jian Yue frowned, suppressing her nausea as she looked at the head at her feet: "So why did Kidd want to execute you? And why did he want to promote you to a higher position?"
"Because you contain Amra's divine power, and I am the vessel of Kidd's power."
"Kid's power cannot enter, so he hid all the power he absorbed in me, the body created by Amra, so that it would not be eliminated from this world."
"And his purpose is to regain his wings and be called God again."
Kidd's ultimate goal is not to create a god at all.
But to return to heaven and take revenge on the god who destroyed his wings.
Sindriel, created by Amra, is merely a container for his abilities and a puppet to manage the world from which his power comes.
But now, Sinderel has exposed himself but is no longer suppressed by the spell, perhaps because the departure five years ago released some of the divine power, and Kidd can no longer control him.
If Kidd had controlled the Sinderel before he met her, I'm afraid Furlan would have continued to be corrupt as he is now.
The current king of Furlan might be the one supported by Kidd.
Now the most dangerous thing is—
Jian Yue instantly thought of that person: "Where's Henry!"
"The Imperial Palace."
She immediately threw away Sinderel's hand: "Let's go, he's in danger!"
The hand reacted quickly and grabbed her shoulder: "He is more important to you than me?"
"No." Jian Yue held his face, "He's not as important as you." Her eyes looked at Theodore's head, "At least leave here first."
"Then what does he have to do with us?" He was puzzled, his narrow eyes lowered, "We just need to take advantage of this time-"
"Jian Yue shook her head. "How do you think I came back? You made a deal with Lucifer, and so did I. You should know that those who devote themselves to the devil will be branded no matter what. Now is the best time."
Henry couldn't die.
Once Henry died, it would be exactly what Kidd wanted.
Now Sinderel had also been exposed, or so she thought.
If she wants to stay with Sinderel forever, she must save Furlan.
abacus.
Summoning her selfishness into this world, he connected her to Sinderel, making it impossible for her to let go, and then using this emotion to save Furlan.
The emerald eyes so close to her were filled with emotions that Jian Yue could not understand: fear, confusion, and guilt.
"--What kind of deal did you make with Lucifer?" He suddenly grabbed her wrist, his eyes fixed on the cross on her chest, "Did he give this to you?"
He stretched out his hand to grab it, but was directly shaken away by a force - it was Lucifer's energy fluctuation, which he was very familiar with.
"Use Kidd's divine power in exchange for my chance to come back." Jian Yue broke free from his hand and stuffed the cross necklace into her collar. "Now is not the time to talk about this, Henry—"
"So we're going to rescue him now." Sinderel curled his lips, but there was no trace of laughter in that smile. "Kid needs living royal blood to complete the final sacrifice. Before that, we still have time."
"Royal blood? Sacrifice?"
"Yes, because fate has destined Henry to enter heaven and become an angel by my side. He also has unawakened divine powers. But now, it's time for us to leave."
Jian Yue was dragged out by him without explanation. As she passed through the messy studio, she couldn't help but glance at Theodore's body. Those eyes that always held a gentle smile now stared blankly at the ceiling, and his silver-grey uniform was stained dark by blood.
"Don't look." Sinderel wrapped her cloak around her head, even covering her eyes. "This kind of person is not worth remembering."
The Royal Guards had already taken control of the mansion, and when the knights saw Sinderel, they all knelt on one knee in unison.
Jian Yue pulled down her cloak and couldn't help but look at the knights a few more times. After seeing enough, she looked at Sinderel.
In five years, he has grown from a boy into a man.
The person in front of him was no longer the young man busy in the Whisper Shop, but the regent who held the power of life and death, an existence that could make the entire Furlan tremble.
"Prepare the carriage." Sinderel stuffed her into a black carriage and mounted the horse himself. "Let's go to the palace."
The carriage sped along the streets on a rainy night, its wheels splashing water as they rolled over the puddles.
Sinderel refused to let go and kept holding her.
"You knew Theodore's plan a long time ago?" she suddenly asked.
"A spy isn't just for show." Sindriel's voice came through the car wall, cold and hard like metal. "From the first day he approached you, I knew what he was going to do."
"Then why didn't you come earlier—"
"Because I need him to make Kidd speed up." The carriage jolted violently, and Sinderel's voice suddenly dropped. "It's been five years, Jian Yue. I can't bear to lose you anymore, so I can only use this stupid method to make Kidd take action."
Jian Yue's heart felt like it was being gripped tightly. She remembered the scratches on the wooden box in the attic that had the word "YUE" carved into it, the unhealed scars on his arms, and the trembling voice when he said, "I'd rather die than forget you."
These were all proofs of his feelings for her.
"I'm sorry," she whispered.
The carriage stopped.
Sinderel lifted the curtain of the carriage, revealing the entrance to the secret passage on the west side of the palace. The Imperial Guards had already cleared out the guards, and torches flickered on the damp stone walls. He bent down and carried Jian Yue out of the carriage, his movements so natural that they seemed to have been rehearsed countless times.
"Your Majesty," a spy emerged from the shadows. "As you expected, all the royal family members have been captured."
Sinderel nodded: "Stand by."
The spy retreated, and Sinderel held Jian Yue's hand.
"Hold on to me." He put her hand in his pocket, and the warmth of his palm made her fingertips numb.
The secret passage was narrow and steep, only wide enough for one person to pass through. Sinderel walked in front, using his sword to cut through the spider webs and weeds. The blade of his sword swept across the grass, making a rustling sound.
Jian Yue followed behind him and felt a sense of security when she looked at his broad figure.
It's just that—she has absolutely no way of focusing her attention elsewhere right now.
At the end of the secret passage was a stone gate, a place Jian Yue had never been to before.
"Okay," Sinderel let go of her and took two steps back, "Now, it's time for us to go our separate ways."
"Where are you going?"
"Go save Amra." Sinderel's eyes never left her. "If we want this to end, we must let her die—that's what Lucifer told me."
"But Kidd..."
"Kidd won't attack me. No matter what, I have his power within me. He won't let his efforts go to waste."
Once Henry dies, Kidd gains power.
Once all the divine power of an angel is absorbed, they will have absolutely no way to resist.
The gods will just sit high above, waiting for Kidd to go back and kiss the back of his hand.
Just people from the same world, they don't care.
Jian Yue shook Xindrell's hand firmly: "...I understand."
Since God was unwilling to listen, she stopped praying.
This time, let her be her own god.
However, she did not notice that the figure behind her stood there for a long time and was reluctant to leave.
Goodbye, Yue.
No, this time it should be, goodbye forever.
