Ethan remained conscious for less than two hours before he fell into a coma again. Tanisiel did not dare to rest and close his eyes, because once he closed his third eye, all the pain he was now bearing would instead transfer to Ethan.
During a Heavenbounders pupa period, they were extrely fragile. They needed to stay in a narrow, warm, and safe place to minimize the external stimulation to their body and spirit. During this period of ti, the tentacles of people with pure Heavenbounder lineage would grow and wrap them in a strong cocoon, which was their most comfortable and safest harbor. Being forcibly pulled out during this ti was likely to cause irreparable damage to their body or mind.
However, Ethans power was too strong. When he entered adulthood due to the harps music during the Holy Spirit Festival, his sudden burst of power almost destroyed the entire prayer hall. No matter what kind of weapons they used, they could not control him. Many priests and nobles were seriously injured, and so of them even died. They claid that a pipes explosion in the temple had caused the tragedy, but the terrifying scene at that ti still made everyone afraid of him.
In order to ensure the success of the ceremony, the head priest Theonile decided to inject Ethan with the God of Orders eggs solution to weaken his strength and control him.
In the quiet underground, only the housekeeper ca down to deliver food to Tanisiel. For a long ti, he suffered from the cold infiltrating into his bone marrow and the pain spreading along the surface of the skin, and he was extrely tired and weak. Theonile ca down once and forced Tanisiel to leave. However, due to their soul bond, Tanisiel could maintain the connection between the two even if he was not around. As soon as the head priest left, he quietly returned to the basent.
Ethan would dream, and he would babble in his dream sotis. Through this spiritual connection, the remnants of his dream would also be conveyed to Tanisiels consciousness. Ethan would always dream of his ho and his father and mother. In his dreams, he was often a child. Sotis, he dread that his parents had given him a little dog as a birthday present. Sotis, he dread that he went to the amusent park with his father to ride a roller coaster. Sotis, he dread that he was acting out a play, and his parents both were sitting in the audience and applauding him. Sotis, these dreams would twist into so dark and horrifying scenes during the second half of them, but sotis they would remain imrsed in a warm and soft tone, just like a sunset.
Tanisiels childhood was also very lonely. As the only son of the Duke of the Western River, he was likely to be the heir to the throne in the future. He didnt have to go to school and instead had tutors for all of his courses, so he had no friends. Lusais loved him very much, but he was too busy to return to the castle and could only return once a week. Therefore, on that day, Tanisiel would act as an obedient child and sit by the gates to receive his father. He prepared his favorite tea that was imported from Earth in the tea room and showed him his new paintings. As long as his father praised him, he would act complacent all day.
However, more often, he would lie around the clean castle grounds playing with marbles, go on the internet to play gas, or look at the rose sky in a daze. Like Ethan, he would imagine that he and his father were not royal aristocrats but ordinary father and son. They would have breakfast together every morning, go shopping on weekends, and go hiking during holidays. If he failed a school exam, he would be scolded and grounded for being naughty and mischievous. When his teachers ca to their ho for a visit, he would shiver like other children.
For many children, these things were common and even unavoidable, but he had never experienced them.
However, he still loved his father, just like Ethan. No matter how alienated or indifferent their fathers were to them, they would always want to work harder. They always thought that if they did better, they would be loved more. Being loved more ant that they were valuable people.
If one day the existence of their fathers, whom they regarded as the basis of all aning in their lives, suddenly wanted to break off their relationships with them or died suddenly, it would cause them to collapse emotionally. Then, they would commit stupid acts like signing a contract with a demon or recklessly trusting soone who was a little nice to them.
We are very similar, Tanisiel thought, looking at Ethan, who was not sleeping well. Maybe when he looked at the empty corridor and wanted to cry when he was a child, Ethan was also sad due to the sa loneliness at the other end of the universe. If he had known Ethan at that ti, he would not have been so lonely.
Three days later, Samuel broke into the castle.
Tanisiel didnt seem to be too surprised to see him. He was still expressionless when Samuel grabbed him by his collar and lifted him up.
Let him go! You bastard! Samuel squeezed these words out between his teeth.
Tanisiel whispered, I dont have the key.
If youre locking him here, then why wouldnt you have it?!
The head priest no longer trusts . He has the key.
Damn it! Samuel scolded and took out a laser gun from his waistband. He snatched it from a guard, so there were not many energy bullets left. Initially, he wanted to save so of its energy, but now it seed that saving Ethan was more important. The chain was made of so strange alloy, and it took a minute to burn one of them. After all four chains had lted away, its energy was almost exhausted.
Ethan looked at him in a trance, delirious and unable to focus. He seed unsure of whether he was dreaming or actually seeing Samuel. Samuel reached out with pity and touched the side of his face that was covered in black lines and said in a gentle voice that didnt seem like him at all, Dont be afraid, Ill bring you away.
Tanisiel didnt an to stop him. He carried Ethan in his arms and prepared to leave, saying, Wait a minute.
Samuel thought that he was going to try to stop him. He stared at him with a pair of cold, wolf-like eyes and said impatiently, Dont think that I wont dare to beat your little white face just because Ethan likes you.
I have a long-distance private spaceship in my castle that can enter warp drive. Tanisiel stood up from his chair. Ill take you there.
Samuels eyebrows were slightly raised. He was not sure whether he should believe this Eve man. After all, it was him who had brought them to this place in the first place and turned Ethan into his current form.
Tanisiel took the ten-thousand function sphere out of his pocket and changed it into a scepter to support his faltering steps. He walked up to Samuel and said, Dont you want to have more hostages with you? Im just a white-robed priest, but my uncle still dotes on a lot.
What mischief are you up to?! Samuel stared at him.
Tanisiel shrugged his shoulders, opened his hands, and said with an indifferent tone, In my present state, are you still afraid of ?
That hint of provocative weakness made Samuel very unhappy inwardly, but if he took Ethan to escape in this manner, he was afraid he would be caught before he even entered the city. Samuel looked at the priests pale face. His eyes were bloodshot, and although the eye on his forehead was open, he didnt feel the ntal pressure that he previously felt. It seed that Tanisiel had not slept for at least three days.
Samuel then threatened, if you dare to be dishonest, I can kill you at any ti.
It was in the middle of the night. Most of the servants were asleep, and the housekeeper had been tied up by Samuel and left in the kitchen cupboard. They quickly crossed through the hall, followed the winding corridor into the tower, and took the elevator all the way down.
There was indeed a very wide space under the castle where a long-distance spaceship covered with dust was sleeping quietly. After they entered the spacecraft, the mainfra imdiately woke up. When Tanisiel set the route, he chose the Moania galaxy, which was very far away from the Eves planet and the Earth Union. It was a very remote but rich and peaceful planetary state. Ethans childish smile as he played in a playground in his dream flashed through Tanisiels mind when he tapped on the pale gold star in the sky.
At this point, it was fine even if he betrayed his teacher and his faith, and even betrayed the contract he signed with Nyarlathotep.
A voice in his head was screaming at him: Do you want to die?!The crawling chaos will never let you go! There will be no peace for the rest of your life! Youre ruining everything youve done for the past 13 years!
However, he closed his ears, refusing to listen to it.
He took one step at a ti until he finally arrived at the present. He was only one step away from his fathers resurrection, but he suddenly grew timid.
He always thought that he would not shrink back and be soft-hearted. After all, the Gods chosen son was just a stranger, so he didnt care about a strangers life or death. As long as his father could live, he would do anything.
However, he didnt expect to co to know the stranger bit by bit, learning his every expression, feeling his every emotion, and hurting due to the pain buried deep in his heart.
He couldnt part with Ethan.
The flight route is set. The countdown to take-off is in progress.
In the middle of the night, a loud bang suddenly resounded in the silent underground of the castle. The mountain cracked open, and a spaceship rose into the crimson night sky, heating up with its beautiful red fla. Shortly after it took off, aircraft secretly hidden in the nearby mountains and forests rose from all directions. It was obvious that they had laid in ambush for a long ti.
Tanisiel sighed. Sure enough, Theonile was on guard.
His tutor had seen through him.
The call request signal lit up, flashing with a red light. Tanisiel ignored its existence and quickly crossed the sky filled with pale gold totems. All of a sudden, a layer of pale gold barriers rose around the spaceship, ejecting amazing yet fiery fireworks as the ship soared towards the skies. He seed to see the expression of his teacher gnashing his teeth.
As he accelerated too fast, Samuel was only able to fasten Ethans seat belt in ti, and he almost rolled to the other end of the spaceship. He swore that Tanisiel must have done it on purpose, and he secretly stared at the priest who was standing between a circle of golden flashing projections, inwardly recalling the thod to operate the aircraft in his mind.
There were more and more aircraft chasing after them. Still, they hadnt opened fire on their spaceship even after a long ti, probably because they were afraid of Tanisiels special identity. However, ten minutes later, Theoniles patience was obviously exhausted, and a bright blue laser beam streaked across the sky and stord in front of them. Tanisiels forehead was sweating as though it was raining, but he forcibly maintained his spirits, commanding the spaceship to twist left and right, as if the spaceship was a nimble swallow shuttling through the storm. The fuselage was hit several tis, causing the ship to shake violently and make a loud noise. Fortunately, most of it was absorbed by the outer protective shield, and the damage was not serious.
Tanisiel had always planned his steps carefully, but for the last hour, he did not know what he was doing.
It was an inexplicable impulse, an impulse that forced him to act as such.
Samuel, take Ethan to the sleeping cabin, Tanisiel used a calm yet single-mindedly devoted tone to instruct him, We may have to enter into warp drive ahead of ti.
The author has sothing to say:
Ive been working on my project until two or three oclock in the morning for the past two weeks. Today, I still stayed up until four oclock in the morning and wrote a chapter. However, I still suggest that my classmates wait until the end of this week to return to catch up with the story. At that ti, the updates should be able to return to normal.
In addition, I found that the Weibo account I used since a long ti ago can still be used now, so I changed its na: Lianxi Lianxi, author of the lancholic genre. Then I opened a hopage on Lofter, but I didnt have ti to put anything on it. In other words, if you are interested, please follow and support financially~~~
