Chapter 362 5 years ago
After Kaloi and Sean left, Erin and Rodis were the only two people left in the huge garden.
Erin looked at Rodis, "What's wrong? Is there anything important you want to tell me?"
He took Erin's hand, put it on his lips and kissed her, "Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."
A white light flashed.
When Erin opened her eyes again, she saw a wall covered with portraits in front of her.
"here it is……"
"Holland's family ancestral hall." Rodis raised his hand and pointed to the oil painting bust hanging on the lower right corner of the wall.
“This is my father, and the one hanging next to it is my mother.
"After we get married, there will be portraits of both of us hanging here."
Lowering his eyes to look at the person in his arms, Rodis' red eyes were full of tenderness.
"Eileen, do you prefer a bust or a full-length portrait? Why don't we paint it together? I don't want to be separated from you."
Looking into Rodis' affectionate eyes, Irene's cheeks felt slightly hot, "It's okay, you can do whatever you like.
"But...you brought me here, you definitely didn't want to talk to me about the portrait."
Rodis smiled and led Irene to the bookshelf on the side.
He pulled out a book from the bookshelf, and with a click, an invisible secret door opened from the side.
Putting his arms around his slender waist, Rodis held the person in his arms and walked into the secret room through the secret door.
The dark corridor seemed to have no end at first glance, but surrounded by Rodis, he arrived within a few steps.
The stars are bright, the sun, moon and stars alternate.
Looking at the sky of stars reflecting the gorgeous sunset in front of her, Irene was very surprised.
"This is where?"
There is absolutely no such scene setting in the games she created.
It's like in a science fiction novel, where you can see the stars and the sea.
"This is the realm of God that belongs exclusively to the Holland family." Rodis explained.
"Have you seen the 16 stars in the constellation Leo on the sky?
"The star on the lion's neck is called the 'Lion's Heart', and it represents the past generations of Holland family heads.
"So, it is me now, and half of the power in my magic core is given by it."
Holding Erin's waist, Rodis pointed to a slightly red star not far away.
"See that purple star? It belongs to you.
"It appeared five years ago when you and I were engaged in blood."
"Is it giving me strength, too?" Erin asked.
Rodis nodded, "Yes, but it was just an engagement five years ago, so the power was not strong. It is different now.
"Now, I plan to...complete our wedding ceremony here."
"What?!" Her purple eyes shrank suddenly, and Irene looked at Rodis in great surprise.
Seeing the shock in Irene's eyes, Rodis panicked for a moment. He hugged Irene and coaxed him in a low voice.
"I'm sorry, Erin, believe me, I really didn't want to bring you here so hastily.
“I have prepared a lot for our wedding and I want to give you the best in the world.
"But... the movements of the monsters this time are so weird, I really don't feel comfortable leaving you alone in the imperial capital.
"So I want it to protect you. As long as you complete the ritual, you can inherit the power of the Holland family."
"How do we complete the ceremony?" Erin asked.
Seeing that she was not angry, Rodis looked happy and answered quickly,
“Five years ago, our Blood Alliance swore an oath, but we are actually halfway done.
"Now, as long as we cut our palms open, then hold hands, let each other's blood mix together and drip on the magic circle.
"Your soul will connect and respond to the purple star you created before, and you will be able to absorb power."
No, I am not Eileen O'Lanley and I did not create this star.
Even with her body, her blood, and my current soul, it is impossible to connect with her starlight.
"No." Eileen's face changed with fright, "I don't want to complete this ritual."
Rodis' heart trembled. He couldn't understand why Irene's face changed suddenly. It was clear that she was fine just a second ago.
"What's wrong?" Rodis asked, "Where...are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Where does it hurt?
Of course I feel uncomfortable all over!
This place is so weird, the purple star in the sky is like a blade on the neck.
As long as you are not careful, everything may be exposed.
No, we have to find a way to get out of this hellish place without Rodis discovering the clues.
Without answering Rodis' question, Irene turned around and left with a cold face, without even looking at Rodis.
This time, Rodis was frightened. He hugged the person and dared not let go.
"I was wrong, don't be angry, I just..."
"What are you?" Irene looked at him coldly, "You just don't believe me."
Rodis was shocked, "I didn't!"
"Why didn't you?" Eileen retorted, "If you believed that I was strong, you would never have brought me to this place.
“You still want to give me a grand wedding and want to give me the best of everything in the world, but in the end?
“You plan to complete even the most important inheritance ceremony of your Holander family so hastily.
"Five years ago, you were like this too. After completing the engagement ceremony, you immediately went to the North. Do you want to do the same now?
"No, you are not as good as you were five years ago. There was an engagement ceremony five years ago. Now let alone the ceremony, there is not even a flower..."
“It’s because of five years ago!!”
As if the pain accumulated in his heart suddenly had a channel to leak out, Rodis lost control of his emotions.
He interrupted Irene and shouted with a trembling voice, "God knows how much I regretted leaving you five years ago!
"During those years in the North, there was not a day when I didn't think about you. I could only fall asleep holding the necklace you made for me every day.
"Eileen, you can't even imagine what life I have been living these years.
“I can’t bear the pain in the north, and it’s even harder for me to accept when I receive the letter and find you enjoying yourself in the imperial capital.
"I thought that as long as I came back from the north, everything would be fine, but do you still remember the time I went to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion to find you?
"Those flattering men around you, I really..."
Holding the delicate body in his arms tightly, Rodis fell into the memories of the past, trembling with anger.
"Eileen...that was the first time in my life that I killed an innocent person indiscriminately, but I knew very well that it would never be the last time.
"Over the years, every tit-for-tat confrontation with you has stabbed me in the heart.
"Everyone thinks that I avoid you and hate you because my feelings for you have weakened. No, that's not the case at all...
"I'm afraid. I'm afraid to see you surrounded by other men. I'm even more afraid to see you smiling at them, singing and drinking to your heart's content."
Bending his straight back, Rodis buried his face in the crook of his neck, letting the delicious scent of roses fill his nostrils.
"Irene, I love you more than you can imagine how much I love you.
"In the past few months, we have resolved our misunderstandings and understood each other's feelings. I feel like I am living in a dream.
"Although you have not only me, but also Caroly and Sean, you have never ignored me, and you still love me the most.
“I can truly feel your deep love and trust, all of which make me cherish and overjoyed.
"So Eileen, I'm very scared. I'm afraid that after returning from this trip to the north, you will change again.
"Having tasted happiness, I can no longer accept your indifference to me anymore.
“Based on my current thinking, I don’t even think that the indiscriminate killing of innocent people back then was a big deal.
"As long as someone dares to wander around you in the future, they will die without a burial place!"
