The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 86's

Alice had previously believed that she no longer held too deep of affection towards Linley, but when she saw him once again face to face, especially when she saw the look of disbelief on his face, it was only when she saw an expression of disbelief on his face, he felt pain in his heart.

"Sister Linley. "Alice called.

Linley's snow-white face held not a speck of blood. He stood there, stunned, for a long time.

"Swish!" Letting out an angry shout, the little Shadowmouse, Bebe, turned into a ferocious black blur and charged straight towards Alice and Kalan. Although Bebe was now extremely intelligent, he was still a magical beast, and still possessed the savage cruelty of a savage beast.

He could deeply feel the mistrust and despair in Linley's heart. He will take revenge.

Bebe's body suddenly grew to one size, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared by Kalan and Alice. Bebe's sharp claws glistened with a cold light, freezing the hearts of the two of them. They didn't even have the chance to dodge or talk!

"Back!" Linley's voice suddenly sounded.

The dark blur that Bebe trembled, then landed on the snow, sweeping right on Kalan's face. Bebe turned to look at Linley. "Squeaking squeaks!" He called out, while at the same time he started to mentally argue with Linley.

Linley slowly, but firmly, shook his head.

Bebe glanced at Alice and Kalan with his cold and cruel eyes, then turned around. Once again mysteriously shrinking back to his usual size, he turned into a cruel shadow once again and jumped onto Linley's shoulder. Just judging from his shallow cuteness, no one could imagine how frightening he really was.

"Huh, huh. "It was only now that Kalan began to pant. Sweat beaded on his forehead, and with terror, he looked at Bebe, perched on Linley's shoulder.

Alice looked at Linley. He breathed deeply . "Sister Linley, I know that now, in your heart, you must be in a lot of pain. It's not convenient for us to talk about this on the street. Let's go to the nearest tavern and have a good talk there. Okay?"

Linley nodded. He's not talking.

…

On the Dry Road, inside a luxury hotel. Linley and Alice were each seated on the opposite side of the table. As for Kalan, he was smart enough to run to sit in a corner of the room, not daring to get too close to disturb them. He had just escaped with his life from the attack near Bebe. Kalan was really scared of Linley.

The table was made of polished black marble. On it were two cups of warm fruit wine.

Linley and Alice faced each other silently.

After a long silence, Alice let out a small sigh. "Sister Linley. I have been wrong in this matter. All this time, I refused to meet you because I wanted you to be mentally prepared. At the very least, I don't want the two of us to part as enemies. ”

"Enemy?" In his heart, Linley laughed bitterly, but he did not speak. He just silently listened, staring at Alice.

Alice continued. "Sister Linley. I'll admit that at first, I really liked you. I also think about us getting married and having children. But after we were together for a long time, I realized that in many ways, we really didn't fit in. ”

Linley finally spoke. "In many things? Alice, not only do I like your strength, I also accept your weakness. I believe that when two people are together, they should give to each other and try to understand each other. No two people would be a perfect and perfect couple without a little bit of contention. ”

Alice bit her lip. With both hands, he took out a glass of his fruit wine and took a sip.

"When we were young, when we first met, I was fifteen. "Alice spoke only after a long time of gathering her thoughts. “In my heart, you are the hero who saved me, down from heaven. I once thought you were my earth, my sky, my whole world, but I now realize that is not the case. In addition to these things, family is also important. ”

Linley.

"Sister Linley, you've always been so full of vitality, and you're also very kind to me. You also work very hard. I've got to admit that you're perfect. But ... This is not enough. For example, this time, when my father went gambling, he lost several hundred thousand gold coins! But all Kalan's brother had to do was ask his family for help, and this matter was easily resolved. ”

Alice looked at Linley. "Sister Linley, this is something you are incapable of doing. Although my father was a gambler and an alcoholic, he was still my father. ”

"Just because of this?" Said Linley softly.

"No . Alice continued. "Not just this. I have found that Kalan's brother has always been very kind to me as well. He grew up with me, and I am very familiar with him. But with regards to you, I've always felt as if you've been enveloped by a layer of fog. I can't see you clearly. ”

“You are a magus genius at the number one magus institute on the continent, and at the age of 15, you can have a private exhibition booth at Proulx Gallery. From his voice, you are very perfect, but because of that perfection, I feel like I cannot see you clearly. ”

Alice's voice was getting lower. “The most important thing is, the two of us are always in separate places. At first, it wasn't too bad, but as time went on, I felt tired. I used to always have someone by my side, like how big brother Kalan was always by my side. ”

After saying all these things, Alice fell silent.

Linley was silent as well.

After a long time passed, enough for the wine to cool down, Linley spoke. "Alice, do you remember what we said to each other? I've said to you, I can stay with you right away. But you said, no. You don't want to interfere with my training. ”

"But now, you're saying that I've never been with you?" An extremely painful smile was on Linley's face.

Alice wanted to speak, but there was nothing she could say.

Everything he just said was just an excuse.

Looking at Alice, Linley continued. “Alice, do you remember that the first time we were together in a hotel, you said to me, you hope that if my love for you disappears, I will tell you and will not hide it from you. You will secretly leave me. ”

Linley suppressed the agitation, forcing himself to remain calm. “Then, I also said, if you feel lost your feelings for me, I also hope that you will tell me directly and not lie to me. I will also leave secretly. ”

Alice's eyes became wet.

"It's no big deal that you're with Kalan now. But I hope you don't cheat me. So that you are now with Kalan behind my back and not openly explaining things to me, to let me continue harboring hope in my heart, to let me wait for you many times…. Do you know what it's like to wait for someone like that? "

Linley's body started to tremble. “29 September, it was the first day you missed our meeting. I waited from midnight until almost dawn. Every minute, every second, it's hard to hold on. When I went back to school, I thought, was it because I made you angry earlier? So I want to make you happy. Like an idiot, I went to buy memory crystals to record scenes all around the Institute. I hope that when we're not together, when you miss me, you can keep an eye on me. ”

“Bringing these two memory crystal balls, in mid-October, once again I come to you, my heart is filled with hope. But then again, you're not there. ”

“In my heart, I began to grow restless. But I hold fast. Because I remember that promise that we made each other. I'm confident that if you're going to leave me, you're going to tell me first. That's why I hold fast. In late October, mid-November, I left too. But in the end … "

Linley stood up, hitting Alice with a bitter smile on his lips. “I came again today. But I'm lucky. This time, you don't keep deceiving me. ”

Tears flowed in Alice's eyes.

"Sister Linley-"

Linley opened his backpack and removed the two memory crystal balls. As he did so, Linley could not help but rethink how he had gone everywhere in his school to record the scene. Thinking back, he felt himself a fool.

"These two memory crystals, I've brought from the Ernst Institute to Fenlai City four times now. But now .. they mean nothing. ”

Linley held a memory crystal ball in each hand. The two crystal balls suddenly collided ….

"Destroy!"

Alice could no longer hold back her tears, which began to wet her face.

"Sister Linley, in the future, are we still going to be friends?" Tears blurred her vision, Alice raised her head to look at Linley.

At her feet, Linley looked at Alice, but she did not answer her question. After a while, a faint smile appeared on his face. “Alice, if I'm not mistaken, we started our relationship on November 29 last year. Today is also November 29. It's been a full year. Thank you . At least you gave me some good memories. ”

Suddenly turning around, Linley directly left through the front door of the hotel.

The whole hotel was silent. Kalan, who was previously in the corner, hurriedly ran over to Alice. When he did, he ran over and stomped on several pieces of shattered crystal balls. The sound of increasingly shattered memory crystal crystals resounded in the hotel.

"Alice, are you okay?" Kalan hugged Alice comfortably.

But at this moment, Alice had been reduced to a puddle of tears. Despite being in Kalan's embrace, he still turned his head to watch as Linley left. At this moment, in his mind, he started to replay every moment he had spent with Linley, but Alice knew ….

From this moment onwards, Linley would never treat him like that again. Maybe he'll never see her again.

… .

Fragrant Pavilion Road was covered in white snow, and several snowflakes were still fluttering in the air.

Walking on Fragrant Pavilion Road, Linley's shadow looked extremely silent. Raising his head to look at the sky, Linley let the snow cover his face with a cold layer. Right now, Linley's heart was trembling. He could not help but violently clutch his chest.

Heart hurts. Hugely.

The pain penetrated his heart!

In Linley's mind, one scene moving after another floated through his consciousness.

That purple set of clothes. Beautiful appearance like a spirit under the moon.

Hiding in the corner of the balcony, warmly spoke to him in a soft tone.

While the snow was flying, he hid his face timidly in his chest.

At the hotel, he lay quietly in his arms.

… .

Linley once believed that he would be forever with Alice. But today, his dream was shattered. And with that, tenacious, Linley's formidable heart was shattered as well.

"Loooooooooooooo!"

Standing in the middle of Fragrant Pavilion Road, Linley could not help but let out a pain-filled howl. The roar was like the roar of a wolf separated from its herd, the howl of sadness, despair. Everyone nearby looked at him in shock, and they all slowly retreated far away from him.

These people looked at him like he was an idiot.

Two rivers of tears flowed down from Linley's face.

Idiots. He's a real idiot.

An idiot who believes in promises!

"Mash!" Linley suddenly, painfully, knelt down on one knee, clutching his chest hard.

Heart hurts. It was injured so badly, as if it had been pierced with a needle.

Very hurt, even his hands started to hurt. Injured so much, his ten fingers had lost all feeling. Linley could only grip his chest tightly with his hand. It seemed like this was the only way he could ease the pain.

"Ha-ha!"

Tears streaming down his face, Linley suddenly stood up and started laughing wildly. Laughing at his own stupidity. Laugh at his naivety.

At present…

The savage pain in his heart caused Linley to start coughing, so hard that he felt like his chest was pierced by a knife. But Linley continued to cough, so hard that he curled up in the street like a caterpillar.

"Yuk!"

With an extremely ferocious cough, a mouthful of fresh and bright blood splattered into the snow.

Gazing at the fresh blood in the snow, Linley suddenly felt that this blood was like a rose, a blood-colored rose. In Linley's mind, he couldn't help but think back to the image from last year, the image of Alice holding a red rose.

"The reflection of the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror, the man in the dream. In the end, it was all an illusion, reduced to nothingness. Haha ... "Linley started laughing wildly at Fragrant Pavilion Road, as if no one else was there. But his laughter was so silent …

Doehring Cowart, dressed as usual in a snow-white robe, stood silently beside Linley. He did not speak, just stared dejectedly at Linley. In his heart, he sighed, "Oh, Linley .. In the end, you are still a child. ”

This year, Linley was only sixteen years old.

"Third Brother!"

Suddenly, a panicked cry sounded. Yale, Reynolds, and George all ran from not too far away. It was not too far from this place to Fragrant Pavilion Road, and the three of them also noticed Linley standing in the middle of the road. Upon seeing Linley spit out a mouthful of blood, all of their faces changed.

"Third Brother, are you okay?"

"Linley's. ”

George, Yale, and Reynolds all hurriedly leaned on Linley.

Linley looked at the three brooches. He shook his head carefully. "I'm fine . Don't worry about me. "Linley looked up at the sky. “Then, I like snow. But now, I feel as if the snow is very quiet, very cold. ”

"You can stay here. I'll be back. "After saying these words, Linley headed straight for the end of the Fragrant Pavilion Road.

Yale, Reynolds, and George all looked at each other, their eyes filled with worry and worry. And then, the three of them chased after Linley …

That day, the snow kept falling. Slowly, the rose-shaped bloodstain was covered by snow, with no trace left behind.
