My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 614: Fallen and Lost Dreams

Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus.

Today, in this illusion where dreams are not dreams and memories are not memories, Bai Ye finally learns the real name of his real servant, the girl in a gold-red dress.

That was the fifth emperor of Rome, a notorious tyrant whose life was decorated with conspiracy and poison.

Should we be afraid? Or should you stay away from this matricide girl?
But after seeing her past, who can say anything about this involuntary emperor?
I can only remain silent with pity.

Keep reading.

...The glory of the past has passed away, and in the future there is only fragmentation and loss.

After his mother was poisoned, Nero's headaches became increasingly severe. Although it was rumored that hysteria was caused by long-term use of silver cups, only the emperor himself knew that this was the poison that the woman had poisoned since she was a child in order to prevent her daughter from resisting.

It was probably because the poison and antidote were used at the same time. It wasn't until she died and the antidote disappeared that the toxicity that penetrated into the bone marrow began to torture the girl's already fragile spirit.

The death of direct blood relatives, the headache caused by poison... From here, Nero's life became more and more irreversible.

The suicide of Octavia, the wife who was forced into marriage by her mother's orders;

In order to consolidate his power, he assassinated his stepbrother Britannicus;

Then--

Most of the picture that appeared in front of Bai Ye was stained with blood red, and the emperor in a red dress sat in the center of the picture, looking expressionlessly at the man whose face he couldn't see clearly.

[Your Majesty the Emperor, you have truly reached an incredible height. 】

[Are you angry again at what I did? They all said it was a mistake. Even if you criticized Yu in the parliament, Yu has already forgiven you. Yu is very tolerant. 】

[Then, please allow me to take my leave—to a place beyond your reach. 】

[Seneca, my master, I cannot understand the meaning of your words at all... Why are you so angry? However, it doesn’t matter, I agree, no matter how many times. All, are allowed, because Yu is very magnanimous. 】

[But Yu is the emperor who rules the world (Rome). There is no such place in this world, right? 】

"..."

"..."

[Wait a minute, do you really want to go? 】

There is a place that no living person can reach in any case - this is something both Seneca and Nero knew very well. Only the dark Hades is a place that even Augustus in Rome cannot touch.

Baiye's pupils shrank suddenly. She saw the tall man's back, so decisively taking away her life with a dagger.

[Even her only teacher, the philosopher Seneca, whom she trusted sincerely, was forced to commit suicide by her. 】

Blood sprayed out, and this time, the scroll was completely dyed in dazzling scarlet, and the aloof emperor sitting in the deep palace was drowned by the sea of ​​blood.

Just like what they saw before when they were involved in this place.

Bai Ye sniffed, while Alice, who was more emotional, had already turned red.

"Why did it become like this? Obviously, my eldest sister is such a good person..."

For an innocent girl, such a story is too heavy and dark. Just when Bai Ye wanted to comfort her, a calm voice sounded.

"All of this is the inevitable result of what she did. The emperor, who enjoys great popularity among the citizens, is only known for terror and death to his relatives."

"An emperor who treats his relatives and friends as if he were strangers... ha."

That voice sighed so much, so sadly, yet couldn't help but laugh about it.

"She claims that this is love, but this love does not distinguish between old and young, high or low, and great love is like ruthlessness."

"Like King Arthur of Britain, this is another sense of 'ignoring people's hearts.'"

Who is the speaker, and why does his voice sound so familiar?
Why did he know so much about Nero and even King Arthur?
Bai Ye and Alice followed the sound, and when the figure slowly walked out of the bloody light and came into their eyes, their curious feelings quickly turned into panic, and then they vented their feelings with high-decibel screams. come out.

"Ahhhhhhhhh-!"

"Ghost, ghost, ghost!"

No wonder Bai Ye and Alice acted like this, because the man standing in front of them had no head!

To be precise, his head was being held in his hands, and the exposed wound on his neck was even bleeding continuously!

This was simply a scene from a horror movie. Facing Bai Ye and little Alice who could not hide their fear, the man scratched his head - of course it was empty. Then he suddenly realized and pushed back the head in his hand.

There was a chirp, and after the oozing movement of flesh and blood rubbing against each other, the man returned to his polite appearance. He stroked his chest and saluted, and his ancient Roman academic robe swayed slightly, so Bai Ye finally recognized this man's identity.

It was Nero's teacher, the philosopher who committed suicide, Seneca.

No...is this really him?
Perhaps it was too strong an emotional impact, but Bai Ye's blocked memories were surfacing little by little. She looked at the man whose face was still blurry, with a wary look on her face.

She didn't think that such a speaking style belonged to Seneca himself. What's more, how did he escape from the illusion, and why did he evaluate the famous King Arthur and the tyrant Nero from a third party's attitude?

That kind of style is more like the descendants who read history thousands of years later and express their own thoughts on the stories of the past!
"Well, even if you lose your memory, are you still so sharp?"

'Seneca' noticed Bai Ye's vigilance. He didn't explain anything. He just pointed at the blood-stained scroll and said calmly:
"No problem, keep reading. Without the nursery rhyme's treasure, the 'Secret Garden (SG)' locked in the emperor's heart would not have been exposed so easily."

"And since it has been revealed, I invite you to witness it until the last moment." The bloody wave was burned out by the flames, the vast sunset fell, and with the voice of the man walking from the narration to the scene, this long and short life did not stop for a moment. It's coming to an end.

"A few years after Seneca's death, a rebellion broke out in Rome. Nero was deposed from the throne of emperor by the Senate and became a guilty party condemned as a traitor to the country."

“This is where the biggest miscalculation begins.”

"She worked hard for the citizens, and the citizens welcomed her policies, so the citizens would not accept her abdication. Nero originally thought so -"

"But there was nothing, they didn't do anything."

"He was kicked off the throne during the rebellion in 69 AD and began to flee from Rome. At the critical moment, he realized that he could not escape, and made up his mind to commit suicide in the wilderness... Despite this, he still shed tears several times and stopped until the end. Then he was desperate and stabbed himself in the throat with a dagger."

Following the man's words, a red dress slowly appeared in the wilderness under the setting sun. The blond girl closed her eyes tightly and lay quietly, with red lines spreading on her fair neck.

"That's...Miss Nero!"

Alice whispered, and Bai Ye couldn't help but stepped forward, but was pulled back by 'Seneca'.

The blood-colored spikes bulged and broke through the soil, and the sharpness bathed in dusk almost penetrated Kishinami Baiye.

"Be careful, girl." The mysterious man said, "If you intrude into other people's hearts without permission, no matter how good-tempered you are, you can't help but plan a counterattack."

"What's more, it's the coquettish and willful Emperor's lady?"

Faced with the man's joke, Bai Ye shook his head seriously: "...you are lying."

"Oh?"

Bai Ye calmly took a few steps back and distanced himself from him. The memories sealed by the Forest of Namelessness surged like a tide, returning the girl's wisdom. She looked at the mysterious man with a wary face:
"You are hiding the truth. What changes have happened to Nero... I can feel through the contract that there are two consciousnesses fighting in that body."

The contract signed by Shuoyue had an effect, and Bai Ye felt the fierce confrontation on the other side of the contract. One of the consciousnesses was unabashedly hostile to her existence, while the other consciousness was guarding her with all its strength.

What should be done? How should we help that consciousness?

Alice blinked and felt something was different about the March Hare next to her - the short March of confusion and escape was over, and the quality and willpower commensurate with the King of Moon Spirits once again returned to Kishinami Hakuno .

By the way, this should be used.

In the wilderness at dusk, the brown-haired girl raised her slender wrist and activated the master's power without hesitation.

"By command, don't lose, Nero!"

"Well done!" The mysterious man made no secret of his admiration. He trusted his servant so much and believed that she was the one who protected him. There was obviously no basis for it, but this intuition and trust were exactly what he wanted as a Master. The most precious quality.

The miracle of the Command Seal worked, and the red streaks on his neck receded like an electric shock. Under Shiro Ye's nervous gaze, Nero, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, a bay leaf-like eye shining with joy. , the other eye as thick as blood was filled with rage.

"Have you seen this endless sunset scene?"

The fifth emperor of Rome spoke. She seemed to be completely unaware of the presence of anyone around her and was quarreling among herself.

"This is us, this is where Emperor Nero died, where Nero Claudius stabbed his own throat!"

The unhappy tone suddenly cooled down, and some were just sighs of reluctance.

"Yes, it was an ugly deathbed, listening to cheers that did not exist, hoping for salvation that did not exist, stained with blood and tears, and dying miserably."

"In this case, you should understand how unwilling we were back then -"

"Yes, I am not willing to give in. To be honest, I am really not willing to give in. When I think that such a good artist is going to die, I am so sad that I almost cry."

Nero responded to the words of the little red dragon, so calmly: "I still remember the scenery nearby, the shape of the rocks, the sound of the wind, and the decaying sunset. To this day, I still remember everything, and I remember being in this wilderness. Death, the end of a certain emperor."

"Then why reject Yu!" Draco's tone became more and more angry, "Why don't you surpass these three sunsets? You know, that person will never give up on us, as long as we return to him. …”

"It shouldn't be like this, Yu's half body, no, is the dream born of Yu's love." Faced with the final situation and Draco's sadness, Nero smiled, "Yu He was indeed a tyrant who killed many lives and finally met a corresponding, ugly death.”

"This is a fact. I will not deny it. There is nothing to be ashamed of."

"Yu lived in Yu's way until the end, and that's enough."

Are you struck by the will contained in these words? The sticky blood in her eyes stagnated and receded, and her pure blue eyes like laurel leaves regained their vibrancy. The young emperor blinked, then turned to look at Bai Ye, with a real smile deep in her eyes.

"Master, I have always been grateful to you. The time is almost here, let us go."

The setting sun in the sky was dispersed by the golden-red radiance. Nero took Bai Ye and Alice and disappeared, but ignored the mysterious man with a blurry face.

"Ah... he just ran away." The man playing 'Seneca' chuckled, "But that's right, the aftermath is never what the emperor should be concerned about. Are you right? Another abandoned little guy. ”

The light of dusk condensed, outlining the young and immature figure. The dragon's tail poked out from under the skirt, swaying gently. The girl closed her eyes tightly and fell into a lifeless sleep.

Breaking away from the shadow of imaginary numbers and rejecting the anchoring of the real body, the former sixth beast has become a misty and scattered phantom.

"She is such a stubborn and hard-to-talk girl." 'Nero's teacher' came to her side, his voice helpless and doting, "But there is nothing I can do, who could make someone love you so much——"

As her fingertips touched, the platinum miraculous light gently covered her.
