Chapter 716 All Belongs to Him
In this regard.
Lu Chihuan was not unhappy.
As the saying goes, a gentleman is judged by deeds rather than intentions. You should know that Stuka Lumin has truly taken him in during this period of time and has done his best to nurture his spiritual sea, so no matter what the starting point is, as long as the result is good for him, it's enough.
Besides——
That pocket watch was a favorite item for Stuka Lumin's eldest brother.
This beloved thing appeared in the hands of a stranger human being whom he had never met before. It was natural for him to want to know what happened between the stranger and his elder brother. He could understand that.
not to mention.
Lu Chihuan also wants to regain his memory, so he and Stuka Lumin have the same goal.
Because of the reasons mentioned above.
Not only did he not feel that Stuka Lumin had ulterior motives because of overhearing these conversations, but he also realized more deeply that...
This person is hard on the outside but soft on the inside.
after all.
I am only suspected to be his eldest brother's partner, and this conclusion has not been confirmed yet. Under normal circumstances, I only need to let the servants look after her, and there is no need to take care of her personally.
But Stuka Lumin not only did so, but also promised not to expel him from Stuhai because he had not recovered his memory for a long time.
They even became friends.
Lu Chihuan has always been the kind of person who would take revenge when he has revenge, and repay kindness when he has kindness.
although.
He has lost his memory now.
But this point is still engraved in his bones and nothing has changed.
So he thought that no matter whether he had such a relationship with the eldest prince of Stuhai, he would be better to Stuka Lumin in the future.
Well.
Just treat it as your elder in advance?
Lu Chihuan made up his mind and was about to leave when he heard the two merman attendants speak again, "…Is His Majesty the Emperor still not planning to hold a birthday celebration this year?"
"When His Majesty the Emperor was still the Third Prince, his birthday celebration was held with great fanfare. Not only was the entire palace decorated with lights and colors, but the people celebrating for him could line up from here to the shore of the Stu Sea. It was both magnificent and luxurious at that time."
"It's not as deserted as it is now."
The attendant said, holding his chin with a rather melancholy look and sighing softly, "To be honest."
"I kind of miss those lively days. I wonder how this palace can regain its former bustling glory."
Another merman attendant took out a bag of crispy dried fish from his arms, shared a few with the other party, and then stuffed one into his mouth. He said vaguely, "It's not that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't plan to hold the event."
"I guess among the entire mermaid tribe, few people remember the emperor's birthday."
"impossible?!"
Listen to the other person
The mermaid servant who originally asked this question looked incredulous.
At the moment, he was so busy listening to gossip that he even forgot to eat the dried fish in his hand. "After all, he is the Emperor..."
"How is it impossible?"
The mermaid servant on the opposite side looked calm.
He was older than the other person, so he had a more comprehensive understanding of what happened. "Before the incident happened, you took a half-month leave because someone in your family was sick, so you escaped the bloody disaster."
“But that’s also why.”
"You don't know how chaotic the entire palace was after that incident."
Speaking of it.
His expression gradually became more serious. "At that time, the entire merman royal family was basically dead. Only His Majesty the Emperor and the eldest prince who was still unconscious were left."
"also."
"The foreigners were caught off guard when they attacked the palace. They even poisoned the palace in a despicable way, so the servants and guards of the entire palace were killed or injured."
"During those days, we kept carrying corpses, cleaning and stitching their wounds, and preparing their faces. By the end, we were numb to it and just acted on instinct."
"At that time, His Majesty the Emperor was extremely busy. Not only did he have to appease the surviving mermaids and arrange for the zombies of his relatives, but he also had to lead our mermaid tribe to stand up again under the suppression of other foreign tribes."
Mention that past event.
The merman attendant's voice sounded a little sad, "You know..."
"The Emperor's birthday was about one or two months after the incident. After what happened, His Majesty had neither the mood nor the energy to hold a birthday celebration."
“So it was cancelled.”
The mermaid who was listening to him attentively frowned when he heard this. He raised his hand and scratched his cheek:
"But."
"The reason for canceling the event the first year was reasonable, but why didn't the birthday celebration for His Majesty take place after that? Didn't the elders try to persuade His Majesty..."
As soon as these words came out.
The mermaid attendant who was chewing on dried fish sneered again, "They?"
"Weren't they the ones who forced His Majesty the Emperor to give in?"
He spoke with some disgust.
He knew all the evil deeds of the elders. "In the first year, His Majesty the Emperor was not interested in holding the event. In the second year, he said that the treasury was empty and it was not appropriate to waste money on it. In the third year, he said that foreigners were eyeing the event covetously and it was not appropriate to focus on such trivial matters..."
"Your Majesty has been somewhat discouraged since the death of his relatives."
"So I didn't bother with them, but who knew that this concession would be a step further. As a result, they all ignored your Majesty's birthday after all these years."
“He was never celebrated.”
"After a long time, the people gradually forgot about your Majesty's birthday."
"While they admire His Majesty, they are also very afraid of him because of the rumors outside, so of course they will not take the initiative to find out when His Majesty's birthday is. Didn't a student do a questionnaire before? I remember that less than half of the mermaids successfully answered the date of His Majesty's birthday."
The merman servant glanced at his companion, but actually had something else to say.
Although some mermaids care about Your Majesty very much, they actually can't remember Your Majesty's birthday. They just use Your Majesty as a medium, trying to get a glimpse of the mermaids' decadent life before the incident.
Then.
I just want Your Majesty to reproduce this style again.
Thinking of this, he sighed softly, recalling when he was moving corpses in the palace and saw His Majesty's overly pale and lifeless face. The other person's eyes were empty at that time.
It seems like all hope is lost.
After more than a decade of training, His Majesty has grown into the moody person he is today. He doesn't know whether this change is good or bad. He just occasionally feels that -
Your Majesty is too lonely.
He was forced to embark on that lonely road, lost his family and friends, and was left alone in the end.
That place is too deserted.
If... there is someone who can keep His Majesty company, that would be great. If two people can snuggle up to each other for warmth, they should be able to get through this unbearable cold.
"Break time is almost over."
The mermaid attendant patted the dried fish crumbs on his body, then showed his companion an impeccable smile, "We should go to work. If we are late, the head attendant will probably scold us again."
The other party nodded quickly.
After they jumped off the shell, they swam towards another corridor of the palace, their light-colored tails passing by.
Lu Chihuan held the orchid fragrance beads in his hand.
Her long and thick eyelashes trembled unconsciously a few times, as if she was still digesting the words she had just heard from the merman servant. After a long while, she let out a heavy breath from her chest.
He woke up with no memory.
I don't know much about the mermaids, so I don't know that Stuka Lumin had ever encountered such a tragic thing.
No wonder Stuka Lumin always looks moody and has no interest in anything. He spends most of his time lying on the recliner, too comfortable to open his eyes.
Lu Chihuan originally thought that it was just the other party's nature, but now he can understand him a little bit.
Encountered such a bloody incident.
However, Stuka Lumen was still able to manage the mermaid tribe to be so prosperous and powerful with his own means, which was already a great ability.
only.
He felt that he was not a very good friend.
During this period of time, he never took the initiative to inquire about Stuka Lumin's past. He believed that it was the other party's privacy and he would definitely tell him when he wanted to one day.
There is nothing wrong with doing this.
only.
Because of this thought, he might ignore the sad moments of his friend.
Lu Chihuan feels that when friends are sad or lost, they still need someone to accompany them, just like two little animals snuggling together for warmth, so they won’t feel so lonely.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Stuka Lumen doesn't seem to need anyone else.
But in fact, just looking at him lying on the recliner every day with a small and soft pillow in his arms, you can tell that this person actually needs the closeness and warmth of other people.
Thinking about this.
Lu Chihuan turned around and walked towards the palace's large kitchen, his expression slightly serious.
He wanted to find out something.
.
These days, Stuka Lumin discovered that Lu Chihuan was busy with something.
He appears and disappears mysteriously all day long.
Every time after practicing the harp, he would hurry out.
There were several times when I came to look for him, but he was not in the palace. Even if I asked him relevant questions, he would deliberately avoid my sight and change the subject...
Just pinch the slightly red earlobe and say awkwardly, "Don't ask anymore."
This made Stuka Lumin feel unusually restless, as if something was rushing around in his chest, making his appetite less.
Obviously, nothing in the palace's scenery had changed, only that person was missing, but Stuka Lumin felt that the magic of peace and tranquility that made him feel here had disappeared.
He couldn't help but want someone to investigate what Lu Chihuan was doing outside.
But he was also worried that if Lu Chihuan found out about this in the future, he might think that his friend was too controlling and deprived him of his freedom.
All of a sudden.
Stuka Lumin was quite hesitant and had not made a decision for a long time, so he was very angry.
Tsk.
If it were in the past, he probably would not hesitate at all. He would immediately gather all the people, ask the guards to tie the person back to him, and then force the other party to tell the truth.
but now.
But he couldn't do that.
Therefore, he was worried about seeing the same fear and tension in Lu Chihuan's eyes as in everyone else. As soon as he thought of this possibility, Stuka Lumin's heart felt as if it was burned by flames.
