Chapter 65 (VIP)
The palace had already fallen into chaos. Jian Yue covered her face and walked against the flow of people, hearing the chaotic discussions of passers-by.
Henry's wine was poisoned, and the law enforcement officer rushed directly to her residence to investigate and said that poison was found in her residence.
She had already disposed of the poison. The so-called poison must have been deliberately bribed by Kidd to control Henry.
Perhaps the momentum of her departure in the morning served as her protection, and the security in the palace was much lessened, allowing her to blend back into the crowd.
Henry will not die. He must have been carefully arranged by Kidd in the bedroom, waiting for the blood sacrifice.
She lowered her head and rushed to the bedroom.
There was no one guarding the bedroom, so Jian Yue entered smoothly and saw Henry tied to the bed.
He had already woken up, and perhaps to prevent him from escaping, his hands and feet were bound with chains, trapping him in bed.
Hearing the noise, Henry's eyes shot over sharply, his brown pupils expression calm. "Who?"
Kidd will not come. Sinderel is about to take the throne, and it is impossible for him to have time to care about him, a useless crown prince.
"...It's me." A faint voice came from the darkness.
The pressed fur carpet made a friction sound, and with the sound of footsteps, the girl's face was slowly illuminated by the moonlight.
Henry had met this girl before; she was his nominal bedchamber maid.
He got the stern Regent, the only one he wanted.
But she should be in Theodora now and about to be executed on the spot, so how could she appear here?
Unless, she knew everything and came for revenge.
Sinderel loves her and will definitely not let her die.
Henry tilted his head, "You're here to kill me..." He didn't move, "Go ahead."
"No." Jian Yue approached him and studied the chains. "I'm here to save you."
"Save me?" Henry groaned. "Kid wanted to frame you. He wanted to kill you, and I knew it but I didn't tell you. Even if you let me go, Sinderel wouldn't let me go."
"You are wrong. It was Sinderel who asked me to rescue you."
Henry obviously didn't believe it: "He saved me? He was the one Kidd chose to be king."
"No, in my heart, you are the one who must ascend the throne."
"I don't know you well."
"No, I've known you for a long time."
The chain made a crisp sound in Jian Yue's hand.
"I knew you when you didn't know it, when you thought it was impossible."
"Henry, you are a kind person, I know."
"You are not sincere in your words. I believe that a person who can save a trapped deer and not be wary of others can't be that bad."
Strange, her words were inexpressibly strange.
She seemed to have known him for a long time, and her words were accurate.
But Henry was sure that he definitely didn't know her.
Memory is like a piece that has been cut off by someone. Because the edges have been broken abruptly, even if you try hard to put it back together, it can never be put into a whole piece.
It was like he remembered he had a crush on someone, but couldn't recall who it was. He'd occasionally forget it, and when he'd accidentally said it, he'd pause, no matter how hard he tried, it was useless.
Why? Who did he forget?
He remembered nothing, only that the other person was extremely gentle, one of the few pure things he could remember in this decadent world.
I can't figure it out.
Still today.
"Damn it, how do I untie this chain?" Jian Yue was still trying to untie the chain.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "...What's your name?"
"Jian Yue." Jian Yue replied, "Perhaps here, everyone is more familiar with 'Opesha'."
Opesha.
That was the name of his half-sister.
"But the one you're familiar with should be 'Sindriel'."
Sindrel? He did feel familiar with Sindrel's name when he first heard it. Not only familiar, but he was also subconsciously shocked - but he didn't know where this shock came from.
"Who are you?"
"Is it Jian Yue, Opesa, or Sinderel? Or... that selfish woman who wants to use you to return to her own world." Jian Yue grinned, her smile quite unpleasant. "Henry, you once asked me in the Earl's greenhouse why I wanted to start a secret language."
"My answer to you at the time was to make money, and I even exaggerated it by saying it was for Furlan. In reality, I didn't do anything, and those who should be suffering are still suffering.
"The name I threw at you was 'Sinderel'.
"You seem to have misunderstood me, thinking I'm one of Kidd's men. But please listen carefully, I will never go along with Kidd." Jian Yue grabbed Henry's hand and said firmly, "You may be confused, but I'm telling you now, I don't belong to this world, and you are destined to become the king of Furlan."
Henry was stunned: "You..."
He remembered.
Those two memories, and that tenderness.
The moonlight shines through the stained glass of the bedroom, casting broken spots of light on Henry's pale face.
The glance back at the Earl's greenhouse and the reunion in the woods were written back to my mind slowly and anew.
"You..." Henry's voice trembled, and her figure finally appeared clearly in his brown pupils. "It's you..."
Jian Yue finally smiled: "It's me."
He finally remembered.
The one he fell in love with at first sight.
No wonder he tried to find it but couldn't find it.
His eyes were glued to her, and he was unwilling to look away. He wanted to use his eyes to engrave her in his mind and memories, and he didn't want to lose her again.
But soon, he forced himself to look away.
He who can't even remember, whose soul is corrupted, seems to have no right to talk about ownership anymore.
Jian Yue was still trying to untie the chains. He said, "Go away."
"Are you questioning a man who could design most of Furlan's chains?"
"No, because this is a lock formed by Kidd using his magic power, you have no way..." As soon as he finished speaking, the lock made a "click" sound, and he looked over in horror - the lock was actually unlocked by Jian Yue.
Jian Yue shook the cross in her hand: "Sorry, borrowing external force shouldn't be considered cheating?"
"How did you do that?"
"Lucifer's remaining power is still enough to break this chain."
This was the result of Jian Yue's gamble - if Lucifer established contact with her, he would definitely use something to sense whether she succeeded, and the only medium left was this cross that still existed after she returned.
Then there must be a small amount of Lucifer's magic power in this cross to prevent it from being detected by Kidd.
"...You made a deal with Lucifer?" The moment the chains were freed from Henry, his entire body began to tremble with pain. "What deal did you make?"
Jian Yue's brows furrowed: "What's wrong with you?"
"That's not important. Tell me, what deal did you make with Lucifer?"
"Why is it not important!"
"Tell me!" Henry grabbed her arms, trying his best to suppress the pain and roared softly, "Tell me what deal you made with him!"
"I made a contract with him and gave him Kidd's power, and he let me return to this world. It's okay, as long as we destroy Kidd's sacrifice ceremony..."
"You've been deceived!" He had never felt such pain before, and it was so painful that he could barely breathe. "They are all fallen angels who can't return to heaven. How could they agree to this without paying a price? Didn't Sinderel ever tell you?"
Jian Yue was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Henry's Adam's apple rolled violently, "Seven years ago..." He uttered the words with difficulty, "When Kidd came to Furlan, he said that he was an angel and needed enough strength to return to heaven. He also promised his father that he would protect Furlan.
"I overheard his ritual and learned that he was a fallen angel who relied on human sacrifices to stay alive. I also learned that this was a world created by the Angel of Destiny. He spared my life only because I possess divine power, and I needed it to maintain Furlan's existence."
He coughed and gasped violently, but he didn't stop talking: "So, I acquiesced to my father and his atrocities... simply because I didn't want Furlan to disappear, because I am a prince."
"Is this why you appeared in the slave yard and said those words?"
"Yes..." Henry laughed bitterly, "I am that pitiful prince. I tried my best to minimize the losses, but in the end I couldn't save anyone."
This sentence suddenly reminded Jian Yue of the scene in the slave farm.
Wasn't she the same? She thought she could change Furlan, but she changed nothing.
"So what exactly did Sinderel hide from me?"
"Because they never thought of choosing a human created by angels. You are the one chosen by fate to go to heaven, Jian Yue." Henry stared at Jian Yue intently. "You are a person created by God. You are the vessel that stores the power of Amra-dashu. You are the blade used by the fallen angels to wear down their opponent. As long as they take your body, they can return to heaven."
Jian Yue opened her eyes wide, "Then Sinderel..."
"He should... have gone to find Kidd, attempting to perish together with Kidd when their powers merged." Henry's condition worsened, the restrictions Kidd had placed on him tormenting him. "That was Kidd's most vulnerable moment, and Sinderel and I were merely Amra's creations to deceive the world." Henry panted, sweat pouring down his forehead. "So, their target has always been you."
"How is that possible..."
"This is true, Jian Yue. Amra told me this in her dream," he said. "From the beginning, Amra has never appeared in this world. In order to summon you, she had already exhausted her divine power and fell into a deep sleep. The Amra you see is nothing more than a shell she created with her remaining divine power - just like us."
"Stop talking, Henry." Seeing that his condition was getting worse, Jian Yue shook her head, wanting him to stop talking. "What you need more now is rest."
"There's no time to rest. Let's go." Henry forced a smile on his pale face. "Kid is about to be sacrificed. He will use the divine power in me and Sinderel to try to obtain your body."
"We were born for you, died for you, and guard you into heaven."
However, the piece in my mind began to break.
The memories of her became fragmented and were quickly erased by the spell.
He couldn't forget. Henry scratched his hair frantically, trying to resist, but it was no use.
As a mortal, he has no way to resist God.
He couldn't help but roar. The more he struggled, the more his body felt like it was burning in flames, and the pain was excruciating.
Pain, pain, pain!
If I don't think about it, it won't hurt, but why does that person keep lingering in my mind?
"Henry!" Jian Yue anxiously held his hands, "Are you okay?"
So, who is that?
The brown pupils turned gray.
"Henry?" he heard someone calling him, and someone held his hand.
His eyes fell on the other person's face.
She is the girl framed by Kidd.
He withdrew his hand in disgust and moved away.
The iron chain fell heavily to the ground.
"...Who are you? Who allowed you to come here?"
