Redeem The Villain [Quick Travel] Chapter 51
byChapter 51 Tentacle Monster 15 Fireworks
“Your tentacles are too cold.” Evel took the blanket and gently wiped the seawater off Merik’s body.
Its entire body was wrapped in a soft blanket. The human’s movements were very light, and it would hardly feel any discomfort. The gentle movements were more like soft feathers gently sticking to its skin, tickling it.
When the sea water was almost wiped away, Ewell let go of the blanket. At the same time, Merik shook his body quickly, and after a while, he shook off the blanket covering his body.
Merik watched Ewell hand the blanket to Xibai, and he pursed his lips subconsciously.
Ewell has been too busy recently. He has to leave the busy celebration almost every morning, and at sunset, he has to make time to deal with official business in the study.
I can only play with it for a while before going to bed.
Merrick knew that Evel was very busy and tired, and he didn’t want to be a trouble, but he couldn’t help but cling to him, and he suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.
Feeling depressed in his heart, the little tentacle monster drooped its head, making it difficult for Evel to see its appearance, only revealing an indescribable sense of loss.
Ewell smiled. He could guess the unhappiness in the other person’s heart, and reached out to touch its head: “Don’t you want to go back?”
“Yeah.” Hearing the voice, Merik nodded. He ran to Ewell’s hand a little disappointed, and said pitifully: “It’s annoying, you haven’t been with me recently.”
Ewell’s eyes darkened a bit. He had indeed been too busy recently.
But if we really count the time, we haven’t seen each other for only a few hours since we separated in the morning.I don’t know since when, Merik has been so attached to him.
Ewell felt itchy in his heart, and he felt inexplicably sour about this emotion.
“Then don’t go back.”
Merik’s dark eyes instantly lit up, as if he was afraid that the other party would regret it, several tentacles quickly wrapped around the human’s fingers and climbed up.
Ewell asked again: “Where do you want to go?”
It just wants Evel to accompany it. It has had enough visits to the huge palace and Xibai in the past few days, and it can’t think of anywhere to go out to play.
The little tentacle monster standing in the human hand shook his head: “Merick doesn’t know either.”
Xibai, who was silent on the side, suddenly said: “Perhaps, Your Highness can take Xiao Momo to watch the fireworks.”
Merik’s attention was immediately attracted by the words he had never heard before. He looked at Ewell and asked, “What are fireworks?”
Evel was silent and did not respond immediately.He took the awaited Merik in his hands and gently put it on his shoulder.
This was a tacit understanding they had developed recently. Merik immediately stretched out two tentacles to grab his white skirt, and climbed up in a matter of seconds.
The little black tentacle monster hooked a strand of his silver hair and stood precariously on his shoulders.
Xibai thought for a moment when his eyes fell on the corner of his mouth.
Almost instantly, he suddenly recalled that the fireworks show meant something different to His Highness, and he began to curse himself in his heart.
After a moment, he moved the corners of his mouth to change the topic.
The next second, I heard a cold and gentle voice slowly respond:
“Okay.”
He added: “Let’s watch the fireworks.”
——
In the study room of the main hall.
Ayita closed her eyes tightly and tapped her fingers on the wooden armrest of the seat repeatedly.
The attendant told the news from the knights word for word.
The next second – he lightly tapped his fingers, and his blood-red eyes opened in surprise.
“Where did you say Evel went?”
The attendant repeated: “Back to Your Majesty, Prince Ewell has just left the palace. After hearing the news about the Knights, he seemed to be going to the Fireworks Square to watch the fireworks show.”
After the Feisley celebration ends, there will be a very grand and gorgeous fireworks show in the large square next to the market in the center of the main city.
The fireworks are designed by Feisley’s top pyrotechnicians, with colorful colors and rich patterns.
Since the fireworks are redesigned every year, they are loved by people from all over the world.
The fireworks square is huge.
On weekdays, almost no one gathers in the Fireworks Square. Only during special events and festivals, there will be such a huge crowd like now.
Tanggre led two knights into a corner on the side of the square, where there was a three-story building. The building was old and looked dilapidated without anyone visiting it for several years.
There are many tall buildings built around the Fireworks Square to watch the fireworks. Although the building in front of Tanggre is covered with a thick layer of dust and is dilapidated, you can still vaguely see how spectacular it once was.
Not many people knew about this small building, and even Xibai didn’t know why his highness came here.
When Tanggre entered the small building, he couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.
When was the last time he entered this small building?
He couldn’t even remember it. He hadn’t even seen the fireworks show in more than ten years.
He pinched the beam a few times, then held it firmly and shook it. Except for the large amounts of dust falling from above and some broken wood residue, he didn’t see anything unusual.
Tanggre waved the dust in front of him, turned away from the small building and walked towards the corner. He cupped his hands towards the faint white inside and said, “Your Highness, the stability of the high platform is fine. It’s just that it hasn’t been cleaned for a long time. The dust is too big and it’s not suitable to go in.”
Evel stretched out his hand to cover Merik’s mouth and nose, and his amethyst eyes fell on the stairs of the small building impartially.
In a daze, he seemed to see a young child jumping up and down the stairs, shouting something excitedly from time to time.
It’s like calling mother.
After a while, his eyes shifted and his voice was indifferent: “Nothing, it’s the same from here.”
There was too much dust in the small building. Xibai pinched his nose and endured it for a while, until his face turned red before letting go and gasping for air.
Tongre turned around and evacuated the knights, forming a small circle around the area, and then stood not far from Ewell.
What Erwell was wearing was not the dress for the banquet. He changed the dress into ordinary clothes before leaving the palace, just to not attract attention. Although the clothes could be changed at will, it was still too obvious that his eyes wanted to enter the crowd.
Even if they try to reduce their presence, they will still be discovered by people waiting for the fireworks show to start.
“Hey, do you think there’s a knight over there?!”
“The fireworks show is about to start. It’s normal to have patrolling knights.”
“Why do I feel… they are not patrolling knights? Look at the knight standing at the front. The badge on his body seems to be the badge of the leader of the First Knights?”
“How is it possible…” The man looked back and paused, “It seems like it’s real?!”
“Captain Tangere is also here to see the fireworks, but… why are they all surrounding that small building?”
A young man said disdainfully: “There is nothing worth surrounding in any dilapidated building.”
“Of course you young people don’t know that the king built it for Queen Devi more than 20 years ago.”
The few people who were talking left here after a while. Their voices were neither loud nor quiet, but Ewell could hear them clearly.
Merik moved gently close to his ear and asked him worriedly: “Evel, what’s wrong with you?”
Queen Devi, he hadn’t heard this name in so long, and no one would mention her to him in the palace.Ewell responded soothingly: “I’m fine.”
Only then did Xibai realize that His Highness was coming to this small building.
This is the small building built by King Aeta for Queen Devi.
He was only 4 years old when he was sent to the small palace. Prince Ewell was already 9 years old at that time.
He remembered that it was the third year after Queen Devi’s death. He no longer remembered what Prince Ewell looked like when he was 9 years old. He only remembered that he was able to stay in the small palace simply because he was not frightened into crying when he saw His Highness.
At that time, His Highness had an innate majestic temperament and a cold face that never smiled, which could scare a child to tears in a matter of minutes.
From then on, his childhood was filled with the image of His Highness having a cold face and having to take care of him.
Ewell only looks cold on the outside, but is actually very gentle on the inside.It’s just that he never reveals his heart to anyone, although in the past ten years, Xibai has never seen His Highness watching fireworks.
In the past, he could feel that the fireworks show had an inexplicable meaning to His Highness.
But now, he could vaguely feel that the fireworks show had the same meaning as Merik.
In the darkness, the attendant asked the emperor standing beside him: “Your Majesty, do we still want to go there?”
Ayita tapped the scepter in his hand, and his eyes fell on the dusty small building with an unclear expression.
From the year Devi Bela died, he ordered the small building to be cordoned off.
Just like his fiery heart, he was also locked in that broken building.
The emperor turned around, his red shawl fluttering.
“I won’t go, there’s nothing to see.”
——
Whoosh——
“The fireworks show has begun!”
“Look to the sky, the fireworks show has begun.”
A firework shot into the sky.
Plop——
Brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky, and the night sky instantly turned into a gorgeous curtain.
The fireworks are dazzling, and various unique and beautiful patterns appear in the sky.
“Wow! I don’t know what it will be like this year.”
Colorful small animal patterns appeared one after another in the air.
“Look, it’s a squirrel.”
“No, it’s not a squirrel, it’s a hamster eating fruit.”
Until one after another underwater creatures appeared one after another, Merik couldn’t help but move forward in anticipation. His body gradually tilted and almost fell to the ground.
Evel quickly took it back into his arms and scolded it in a gentle tone: “Be careful.”
Merik pulled his shirt: “Evel, those are my little friends, there are small fish, small shrimps…”
Pure white balls bloomed in the sky, surrounded by spikes.
Its tone changed and it said viciously: “There are even nasty fish balls!”
The leader Tang Geli subconsciously touched the beard on his face.
Suddenly, a colorful little octopus with eight tentacles suddenly appeared in the air.
Merik suddenly shouted excitedly, and he jumped uncontrollably in Evel’s arms: “It’s me! It’s me! Evel, look, it’s Merik!”
One of his tentacles pointed high at the sky, and his light gray eyes were full of surprise.
Ewell smiled softly: “Yes, it’s Merik.”
“Why is the Merik above colorful? It should be black.” Merik, who was shouting excitedly just now, now began to mumble dissatisfaction again.
How can black fireworks show color?They immediately made them laugh, and even Tangere turned around with a smile.
Merik’s little face turned red, and his smart little head suddenly realized what stupid thing he had done, and he buried himself in Evel’s chest.Hearing human laughter, his little face became angry: “Evel, don’t laugh!”
“Okay.” Ewell’s smile grew stronger: “Don’t smile.”
