Just as night fell, I, who would rather freeze than let the noise of others enter her world, walked into my own battle with complete confidence. The high door opens in front of me. Come in, here. Every eye looks at me with hatred, hope, and expectation.
Lu Yu Xin, the First Prince, said, "Here, the Party Queen comes late."
I looked at him from the corner of my eye, "An object is more valuable when it is wanted and longed for."
Lu Yu Xin, is a cunning, merciless man. Recalling the story of the Devil Clan's leader, it seems like this was his ally.. The world is perfectly cooperating to destroy me to my death.
I walked to sit next to Xiao Yan, just as we used to, we are on one side, and the world is on the other. As for love, I can never do this, but I am towards her, I feel admiration and attraction, and I long for a tomorrow in which she will be my friend and eternal companion. What makes us close is that we are tough. We can leave the chain of false smiles behind us and be tough on each other. We can be comfortable. Without fear of abandonment.
I looked at her and smiled, while she looked at me sadly. If one of us had to lose today, I would rather lose with dignity, instead of her. Therefore I cannot. To scream my truth. I can only die with honor tonight.
There was a lot of silence tonight. My uncle sighed and said, "I'm sure you have an idea about what's going on. You're here to discuss whether we should agree to this marriage or not."
Xiao Yan immediately spoke, "Of course not. They look down on us. How could something so terrible happen to us? Why would we give Shuxin to them!"
I smiled to myself, placed my hand on top of hers on the table in front of us, and Xiao Yan looked at me with eyes filled with anger. Yu Xi, look at our hands. I raised my eyes to her. She was sitting in front of me on the other side of the room, I noticed, a sideways smile on her face. And looks devoid of sympathy.
A whisper. I can see it, hear it over the whispers that fill the room, a whisper that makes my brows knit together. "You've matured."
Everyone in the room watched the silent scene. Lu Yu Xin, spoke again, "The demons are just as powerful as us. There is no point or benefit in rejecting their offer. Since we would have their people and army on our side, we would choose to refuse and war would break out. Why would we choose this path?"
Xiao Yan said firmly, "Yan An xin, what do you mean?"
"He's right, but shouldn't the focus of our conversation today be, why are you demon? Is it because of Tian Yang?" Yu Xi said, This woman has drawn eyebrows, dark black hair with no accessories on her hair, red lips, and always wears black. A piece of art, but I can't love it. Sometimes you want to have someone you dream of stabbing, since we are allies and enemies, our pride prevents us from being friends. She reminds me of Zen Zen. She is a very delicate and beautiful woman, like the breeze, like flowers, but she lived her life in the war zone and forgot the meaning of love. She longs for him and does not find him, even in the end, she forgets what she used to be, but I wonder, if there was tenderness in the heart of that person in front of me from the beginning...
I smiled, she gave me a suitable excuse, to lie, I don't know what's wrong with me, I had to abandon everyone first, so why? Why should I give up on myself... I said with my eyes looking into hers, "Indeed, on that day a few years ago, he was sitting on the ground, when I approached him, suddenly I found myself pulling towards him, taking my shadow, and I took his shadow, that is, in my body, the shadow of a demon. turned into a soul."
Ji Ji, my step sister, said, "So? Can't you remove this shadow? Then we can punish them for their disrespect!"
My smile slowly disappeared, "No, I can't, I can't take back something that left me, only with my death, its shadow will be released."
Xiao Yan's eyes widened, her lips trembling, I quickly smiled and said, "So? We've made up our minds? I bet the Demon Clan is on their way now, they wouldn't have come knowing they're losing, I have to leave then."
What a thing...it suits me so much...always, I'm the pathetic one who runs away first.
I came up from the ground, Xiao Yan's hand in mine, she pulled me, I smiled at her, I can't make her lose, I whispered to her, "Don't be a loser."
She laughed lightly, the thought terrified me. The speed of deciding someone's fate, the speed of death. Thus, something I feared came true: I would throw away my past, which I had thrown behind me, but it followed me. Here, what I did not want, it wanted me with force.
**********
The next day
In the hall, I was sitting next to my uncle. The royal family was sitting in the north of the hall, and the Demon Clan members were on the other side. Tian Yang, Ha Xin, and Ta Jin entered and bowed to the ground. The clan leader spoke, "Whoever you marry will take over the clan rule, of course if he deserves it. after examining the extent of his ability."
I nodded, then got down and walked towards them. Anyway, we won't get married right away. Only if I choose Ha Shin, since he is the most deserving candidate to be the next clan leader. He is also the eldest son, of marriageable age. Holding a red rose in their hands, on their knees, I walked towards Ha Shin. Then I said, "If he becomes the clan leader, then I should definitely avoid Ta Jin. I can't bear to be burned to death in a volcano I don't know where it is."
Everyone in the hall laughed. Ta Jin sighed and said, "Shuxin, don't be so mean to me, it hurts my heart."
I smiled, then walked towards Tian Yang, who was sitting on the right, then turned to the people sitting, took out a red rose from my hand, and held it in the air. Suddenly, the stunning red-haired woman appeared out of nowhere. The three of them looked at each other in amazement. I smiled at her, while she was shocked.
I stepped back a little, with my left hand still on hers. I extended the rose with my other hand. She took it in shock. I turned to the clan leader, "So what do you think of that?"
He slammed the table angrily, "Are you disrespecting our clan now?"
I showed a poker face, "Sarcasm? You dare talk loudly at me? What a boring man.."
My uncle said, "Who is that?"
I smiled, putting my hand around her shoulder, "Hong, my friend."
My uncle cleared his throat, motioning for me to finish things quickly. I moved away from her, a little, "Sorry, beautiful girl, I will be born as a man in my next life and find you." Her cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and she whispered, "Please don't do that."
I passed them, stood behind them, then pulled out Tianyang's rose and raised it in the air, "Can I leave now?" I pulled Hong's hand and ran outside
Tianyang looked back at her, then at the mark the flower left on his hands. And he smiled happily.
Ha Shin looked at him, then at the rose in his hands. And sigh.
