Behind the thorns, there are black roses.
Gladys fell into deep thought.
Gladys suddenly wondered why Princess Laura's attitude towards the evil witch was different after she became a man. Wasn't the little princess very averse to physical contact from outsiders?
Laura was hugging her, which made the evil witch's heart beat faster...
this......
this......
Gladys racked her brains, but she could only think that Laura must be deliberately seducing her evil witch so that she could take the opportunity to escape from her evil witch's clutches!
"Even if you hold me forever, you won't bewitch me." Gladys vowed.
Laura lowered her head and did not answer Gladys's question. She just looked into Gladys' eyes, staring at her with those golden eyes as deep as the abyss.
Gladys looked into Laura's golden eyes, her breath slightly held.
How can there be such beautiful eyes in the world?
Gladys and Laura looked at each other for a while.
Then, Gladys suddenly smiled maliciously at Laura, and Laura was stunned by her smile.
Gladys looked so smart and said, "I figured it out! You really are deliberately trying to seduce me."
"But I've told you countless times that I won't be fooled, my servant. So, save yourself the worry and focus your energy elsewhere," Gladys said earnestly.
Laura: “Oh.”
Laura looked calm, as if saying that she would dare to do it again next time.
Seeing the little princess's reaction, Gladys's heart was alarmed. She said in a deep voice, "As a little princess, why are you trying to seduce me? No way, no way, do you really think that an evil witch like me would marry a little princess?"
Laura:?
"I, the evil witch, have dedicated my entire life to my evil faith, the evil god!"
"There's no chance for you, little princess! Even my third concubine won't give you one."
Laura: ???
"Are you sure?" Laura asked in a strange tone.
Gladys looked at him, frowning.
What's wrong with Laura's answer? Normally, wouldn't he just deny it?
It must have been too long since Princess Lola last saw the fish in the pond. Her days were lonely...
So I have a different idea about the evil witch next to me...
Gladys shuddered.
"You, little princess, can only be my slave forever. Don't think or say anything nonsense in front of me, the evil witch." Gladys said righteously.
Gladys quickly got out of Laura's arms, stood on tiptoe, pushed his shoulder with her hand, and ordered coldly: "My slave, from now on, you will walk ahead and explore the way. Don't put your mind on me."
The girl pushed his back with her fingertips. Laura raised her eyebrows and walked forward slowly.
Behind the thorn gate is a huge garden.
There was a narrow and secluded path in the middle of the garden, with black roses growing on both sides, and the air was filled with dampness and a faint fragrance.
Silent repression...
It was like walking into a horror movie set...
Gladys followed behind Laura, and the white wings on her back trembled slightly.
"Lola... who do you think is prettier?" Gladys suddenly spoke.
Laura's casual thoughts were interrupted by Gladys' voice.
He glanced briefly at Gladys.
"Hmm?" Laura whispered.
"Those are the two ghosts guarding the gate." Gladys quietly grabbed Laura's sleeve and started to chatter. "They've been competing all night to see who's more beautiful. In your opinion, who's prettier with an axe in her head or a sword in her chest? You choose."
"My Lady Witch, I won't choose either one." Laura said.
Gladys thought, there really is no choice...
But she asked Laura this question just to divert attention...
The Black Rose next to her moved inexplicably.
Gladys' wings trembled.
The petals of the black rose trembled, and beneath the petals, red eyeballs seemed to blink, staring eerily at Gladys and Lola.
"No, you have to choose one. The axe and the sword are different. Which one do you think looks best?" Gladys quickly asked Laura.
Laura stopped and looked back at Gladys.
Black roses bloomed beside the man. His long black hair seemed very cold. The wizard's wide robe hung to the ground, and some rustling branches and leaves moved quietly.
He smiled, "As for who is more beautiful... Your Excellency the Witch, have you forgotten that there were other people present besides those two ghosts?"
"So what you mean is--" Gladys' eyes lit up. Could it be that Princess Laura was finally going to acknowledge the beauty of her evil witch?
Laura: "I look better."
Gladys: “…?”
"You are a man now," Gladys reminded.
Laura said innocently, "Didn't Her Majesty the Witch say that my transformation into a man would be short-lived and that I would eventually change back?"
"So among the people present just now, wasn't I the best-looking one?"
Although the evil witch Gladys felt very jealous, what Princess Laura said was true.
Gladys: "Oh, wow, yes, well, okay, you are so beautiful, the Lord of Darkness will definitely choose you...you are the second most beautiful woman in the world."
"That's not the case..." Lola shrugged and said to Gladys, "My Lady Witch, the Lord of Darkness will not choose me."
Gladys thought for a moment, then, as if suddenly realizing something, she said, "Are you saying that the Lord of Darkness is unworthy of your beauty?"
Laura: “…”
Gladys discovered the blind spot and wondered, "But, if you say that, then the Lord of Darkness has chosen no one?"
Laura elegantly tugged at her hood with her fingertips and suddenly said, "Madam Witch, we have entered the holy land."
Gladys's attention was diverted.
Arrived at the holy land?
Gladys's head popped out from behind Laura.
The scene of the holy land appeared in Gladys's eyes, and her pupils widened slightly.
The holy land has an extremely dark sky, as if all the light has been absorbed and disappeared.
The milky white aurora enveloped the earth, and the ground was covered with messy branches and leaves, some tall, some short... Among the intertwined branches and leaves were many moonlight mushrooms, ghost grass and other plants that the dark creatures liked.
In the center of the earth, there is a huge and eerie castle, like a devil with bared fangs and claws.
Is this the holy land ruled by the Lord of Darkness?
As if she had noticed something, Gladys subconsciously looked back and saw that the black rose bushes behind her had disappeared without a trace, turning into a dead forest. The forest merged with the branches and leaves in front of her.
In short, there is no turning back.
"Lola, the road behind us has disappeared." Gladys swallowed.
Laura followed Gladys's gaze and he raised his eyebrows. "It seems so."
"A big question suddenly occurred to me," said Gladys.
Laura: “Oh?”
"What's the connection between entering the Holy Land and returning to the outside of the Blood Gate?"
Gladys's fair little face showed distress.
"Now it seems we can't leave the Holy Land..."
Gladys and Laura exchanged glances, and then Gladys stared at Laura's face, thoughtfully saying, "It occurred to me that I entered the Holy Land because of your strange behavior."
"There seems to be something wrong with you." Gladys frowned.
Laura's Adam's apple moved. Could it be that... she finally noticed something?
