Dark Fairy Tale: Will their desires be fulfilled?

"Oh, really? We came here from the only passage. Then how did you get into this room? How long do you want to play? Vivian, stop pretending. No, you took the warlock's body. Don't play such a lame show. This is the first time I see you in the world. I would like to ask you to show me your true face..." Elstin said slowly, certain of the identity of the thin girl in front of her.

Vivian lowered her head, and in the shadows, she suddenly laughed softly. When she looked up again, her eyes became dark and bottomless, and her bloodstained face smiled viciously and strangely, and her mouth full of sharp steel teeth was so scary in the quiet night!

"Do you want to see it?" Vivian smiled grimly, and suddenly pulled off the bow tie that bound her long hair around her neck. In an instant, her blood-red hair fluttered in the moonlight. "I'm like an actress, my acting skills are first-class." As she spoke, she revealed the evil soul hidden in the human face, a pale, bloodless face with long fangs, like a female ghost.

"But your name is not Elsten. In the powerful Duke's family, someone carefully dressed you up as a princess and served you as loyally as a dog. Let me tell you, Elsten, I am a warlock girl from the Principality of Corien in the Western Continent. We are both beautiful girls, so please give me your advice!" Vivian suddenly pouted her red lips and blew her a kiss.

Elstin immediately felt her whole body go numb as if she had been electrocuted.

"Ah, I've always wanted to show my true colors in front of you, but I'd still be embarrassed in front of a beautiful girl like you, right? Haha, this is the first time I've seen a princess from the North, and I was really shocked when I first saw you. But, you're the same, right?"

Elstin raised her head and curled her lips. "This is the first time I've seen someone like you being someone else's sister. You are a being between gods and humans - the Thirteenth King of the Mysterious Dream, the Brain Devouring King! So you are also a person standing at the top of the extraordinary people, why do you possess a warlock girl?"

"Haha, there's no need to tell you, right?" Vivian smiled charmingly, "Actually, I'm obsessed with a woman. Of course, I can't tell you the woman's name right now..."

Before he finished speaking, the sound of footsteps slowly emerged from the shadows of the hut.

"Your Highness." Ti Lung, with black hair, black eyes and black clothes, stood in front of everyone and greeted them arrogantly.

When Allen heard a familiar voice, he took away Elsteen's hand that had been blocking his eyes and saw the expected person.

"I miscalculated. I didn't expect that when our identities were exposed, Young Master Allen would happen to be by your side. We didn't want to involve mortals." Dillon sighed and said helplessly.

"Actually, I also suspected you at the beginning..." Allen stared at the businessman in front of him with his black eyes, "But you are too cautious, it's hard to find any trace."

"Young Master, you are really going too far. How can you doubt your family's most important business partner? Remember, I cured you of the problem of always peeing to one side when you were a child?"

"This is my first time stepping out of the North and accepting a mission from the family. I just want to catch the criminal, and I don't care how big a business partner the other party is. This is a murder case, so it's normal to suspect the family's business partner." Allen had a blank expression, but cold sweat still slid down his forehead. "It's just that I didn't expect you to be an accomplice of Guimi, hiding in Mei Yali's house when we weren't paying attention, and coming to the crime scene from the distant upper city hotel in an instant. It's also very likely that you made the accompanying warlock disappear for a few minutes when meeting with us... So, the real murderer is you - Dillon, and Vivian!"

Vivian and Dillon did not argue or say anything, they just looked at him quietly and listened to him.

"In addition to the common points that these victims are all prostitutes and have had their internal organs removed, they have all undergone surgery in the underground clinics in the imperial capital, and I have found the date of their surgery..." Allen spread out a piece of evidence, which clearly recorded the surgery of these dead prostitutes. "You are not only a dark businessman, but also a dark doctor with superb medical skills. The order of the victims' surgery is exactly the same as when they were killed! There is another name that has not been crossed out, Mei Yali, who is in this room. We wanted to rush here after we found out, but we didn't expect that we still couldn't save her..."

At this point, Allen's voice was almost inaudible, and his face showed an expression of self-blame for incompetence. Dillon didn't care, walked up to Allen, and shook his head, "What a pity, young master, you are my most promising heir to the Duke of the North, and the only son of the first Duchess who died... But--" Dillon suddenly widened his black eyes and roared, "The world outside is much darker, more terrifying, and more twisted than you can imagine!"

Along with the roar, a burst of murderous air broke through the air and slashed towards Allen. Elstin quickly blocked in front of her, put her palms together, and clamped the sickle that the Brain Eater King chopped down!

"This is what the Grim Reaper used to hunt souls. Let's make it now, the Grim Reaper's Scythe! Elstin, this is the first time you've seen it, because those ungrateful Grim Reapers dared to commit treason and were all executed by the great rulers. In the end, the Grim Reaper's Scythe was given to the Thirteen Kings. Don't you think it's very suitable for me to hold this sickle? It's very easy for me to use, because I always use it to enjoy the pleasure of taking souls... Of course, I promise I won't miss."

Vivian put his face against the back of the sickle and smiled grimly, "However, it is only for the use of King Thirteen! Alas, it seems that I have used it too much and it has become a little dull recently. Do you want to play with me?"

Looking at the flirtatious glances Vivian suddenly threw at her, Elstin couldn't stand it any longer, "Stop being disgusting, even though I don't like men, I don't like women either!"

Chapter 28: Revolving Lantern

"Ah, you are always serious, so cool, Elstin... I think you are very suitable to be dyed red, hair, clothes and face, all dyed red. I think it's also great to dye those beautiful women red with blood. Hey, it's beautiful to sprinkle rose-colored blood on women, right? I really want to cut your body open, see the color inside your body, and taste your brain carefully. It must be the most delicious food in the world..."

"The Thirteenth King should be quietly taking away other people's souls and sacrificing them to the great master in the Great Rift, but he comes here to be a weak girl, and someone else's sister! Your aesthetic vision and interests really make me sick." Elstin cursed coldly.

"But, I am also very serious as a warlock. I was very gentle when I called that stinky man 'brother', and I also dressed up when I was working..." The Brain Eater King pretended to be childish.

"Fool, are you worthy of being the Thirteenth King?"

The four eyes were fixed together, as if it was the sea, or the endless darkness.

Vivian suddenly waved the Grim Reaper's scythe and said with a smile, "Then prepare to die, Princess of the North!"

Elsteen remained calm, and the darkness came over her, lifting a few strands of black hair from her forehead. Allen behind her finally spoke, "Although it violates the Queen's order, you can do it, little sister. I will submit the mission report to mother afterwards." As the success or failure of the mission depended on it, he knew very well that now was not the time to be gentle with the warlock girl wielding a huge sickle.

The reason why she sent this useless brother to her side was just to let her mother keep an eye on her. Elstin smiled slowly and closed her eyes. "This way, I won't have any worries."

The Grim Reaper's scythe was no small matter. It could break rocks and cut metal wherever it touched. Elstin relied on her agile body to dodge left and right.

"I prefer being chased to being chased, my dear Elstin! Let's play hide-and-seek..." The Brain Eater smiled grimly, holding the soul-eating weapon in his hand, and suddenly disappeared.

Elstin looked around nervously but couldn't find her. Just as she was about to turn around, suddenly a white light came down!

Perhaps in this situation, only Elstin could dodge it. Her slender waist was bent back like rubber, and she supported herself on the ground with her hands. While dodging backwards, she kicked the Brain-Eating King that appeared out of nowhere, attacking while defending.

The Brain Eater King's fatal blow landed on the floor tiles with a bang, and in an instant, gravel flew all over the sky.

"I should have said it before, please don't say such disgusting things." Elstin gasped, but before she finished her words, the figure of the Brain Eater King shot over like a ghost, at an incredible speed, and the alluring sickle chopped down like a tiger or wolf.

However, Elsteen was prepared. She retreated and flipped over dozens of times, stopping right in front of a gas lamp. She stretched out her hand and broke the gas lamp tube. Just as she took it in her hand, the sickle had already arrived!

"Don't say that! You will definitely get addicted to the taste of the Death Scythe..." The Brain Eater grinned, his jagged fangs flashing in front of Elstin's eyes, and the sickle made a crisp sound when it chopped on the gas lamp. "Hey, I didn't expect you were still so strong... But now comes the highlight. Once the Death Scythe is swung, the gas lamp will be nothing but... like two broken branches!"

The sickle cut through the thick gas tube in an instant, and its remaining force missed the dodged Elstin by a little bit.

However, when Elstin dodged and stood up, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her right arm. Looking over, she saw a stream of blood spurting out from the crack, and red lotuses bloomed in the dark night.

what? !

At this moment, old memories suddenly flashed through my mind as if rewinding, like frames of film, going around in a circle.

She saw Allen thirteen years ago, a baby still in swaddling clothes, with a pale face, eyes full of fear and despair, and black rune marks all over his body.

This child lost his biological mother not long ago. These ugly black marks are the marks from another world. The considerations of those great masters on their own vessels are death warrants for him. It's pitiful, isn't it, to be born with such a sin...

I heard my stepmother's soft murmur in my ears.

My lovely daughter, the only meaning of your existence is to atone for his sins with your body, soul, and everything you have...

The images disappeared one by one in an instant. Elstin covered her arm, still gasping for breath. What on earth had happened just now?

"How is it? It was full of dramatic pain, right?" The Brain Eater King looked at her and smiled, saying triumphantly, "That was the Thirteenth King's ability just now - Life Theater! The Thirteenth King will use the Life Theater to reproduce a person's lifetime memories and examine them. In order to know what kind of person he is and what kind of life he has lived, he will finally put a price on his soul and sacrifice it to the great master in the Great Rift. Although before a person dies, memories will emerge like a revolving lantern, but that is just the Thirteenth King replaying that person's memories... We will use the Grim Reaper's Scythe to separate the memory, soul and body, and then... it's over."

Elstin said disdainfully, "I thought you just had dirty tastes, but it turns out you like to peep. That's really bad."

"Hehe..." The Brain Eater King suddenly laughed evilly, flipped several times in the air, and suddenly attacked her again, "How could it be! This is work! But you are right, a good woman's past is something people care about. If she is a bad woman, it goes without saying!" The vicious sickle slashed at Elstin.

"I forgot to tell you, this is not just a toy for dealing with humans, my dear Elsteen! Once the Grim Reaper's scythe is swung, memories, souls, spaces, and even demons will all be cut off! What's more, you are just a Sequence Twelve transcendent!" The Brain Eater King's scythe has forced Elsteen into a corner.

At this moment, Dillon looked at Allen with murderous intent...

"Why..." Allen looked at Dillon with a frosty face. This dark businessman was a frequent visitor to the Duke's mansion when he was a child. Every time he came to visit, he would bring some strange and bizarre treasures collected from all over the world as gifts to him.

The businessman was like a big boy, always with a bright smile on his face and always accompanying him to play, which made Allen, who was extremely socially anxious in his previous life, feel very warm.

"Why? What's the point of asking me at this moment? You and I are just 'hounds' and 'prey' now. If we must be killed by the hounds..." Dillon said here, suddenly pulled out the dagger on his waist, and stabbed at Xiao Yanlian quickly, "Then, I have only one way to go!"

The sharp dagger flashed coldly in the moonlight, biting towards Allen like a poisonous snake. Although Allen was thin, he reacted quickly. He slightly sidestepped the fatal blow, dodging the turbulence and shouted, "You have been deliberately approaching me since you were a child. What are you planning..."

In just a flash, Dillon's right hand tightly grasped Allen's throat and pushed him against the wall, his eyes as crazy as blood, "Even if I tell you, little brat, you won't understand! You will never understand in your entire life!"

Allen opened his eyes wide. How could the crazy and evil man in front of him be the good businessman in the past? It seemed that once he stepped out of the Duke's mansion and left the northern territory, everything around him began to distort, as if there was an invisible giant hand controlling everything behind him.

"You shouldn't have come into this world! Your existence will sooner or later shatter all the frameworks of this world! You are the son of darkness, you will destroy this world and all the people in it!" Dillon, who was in an agitated state, angrily raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed it fiercely at Allen who had no ability to resist!

Allen just stared at him blankly, and in that instant, he seemed to see his mother in his previous life through the eyes of the dark merchant...

She kept beating him and cursing him, "Why were you born? Why were you born by that wild woman? Why must I raise a bastard like you? I wish you could just disappear from this world!"

But the blade has already fallen.

Chapter 29: Looking into the mysterious eyes

"Foolish brother, your death is not today."

Seeing that Allen's life was in danger, Elstin revealed a cruel smile. Her charming pupils dimmed instantly and turned into a deep black. The pattern of a pentagram gradually emerged.

"Look directly into the mysterious demon's eye!" As she said this, it symbolized that her last card had been played.

The next moment, countless sword blades wrapped in black flames burst out from that eye. This eye now became the hub connecting to another bestie's world. Each sword blade could not be erased, could not be avoided, and could not be distinguished by the human eye.

This magic eye is one of the three sacred artifacts of the ancient Haimes family, the extraordinary talent that should have been inherited by Allen.

In the eyes of everyone, it seemed as if the surrounding air was distorted invisibly, and then a bloody hole was drilled in Dillon's abdomen.

Dillon subconsciously lowered his head to check the wound, but suddenly discovered that through the bloody hole in his abdomen he could see the wall of the alley opposite, and there were gusts of night wind blowing through it.

Dillon's face turned pale for a moment, and then he smiled bitterly, "Oh my, this is going to be a big deal."

With a snap, the dagger failed to penetrate Allen's heart. It fell down after Dillon's fingertips trembled for a moment. Then he squatted down, covered the bloody hole with both hands, and wailed in pain.

Allen was breathing heavily and took a step back when he saw the bloody scene. He felt his legs shaking and weak.

There is no place for mortals to intervene in the battles between extraordinary beings.

"As expected of you, the heir to the North chosen by Miss Tina. You're so brave! You're willing to lose an arm to save that brat!" The Brain Eater King stood in the corner, looking at the large pool of blood on the wall and praised. At the moment when the dark merchant made his move, the trapped Elstin broke free from the sickle.

Even though she was the Thirteenth King of the Mysterious Dream, she was still afraid of the Demon Eye. In the past, the ancestors of the Haimes family had used the three sacred artifacts to kill through the entire mysterious dream and even reached the thrones of the great rulers.

If you fight to the end, even if you can kill the opponent, it will only be a miserable victory in the end.

The Brain Devouring King calmly avoided the evil eye, slowly walked over with a sickle in his hand, and walked to the side of the Dark Merchant, grinning, "You always pride yourself on being smart, but there will be a day when you fail. You can't even kill a little devil! Hurry up and kill him for me! If you don't kill him, you will be doomed. It's a rare opportunity to have me, the king of the mysterious dream, to help you!"

Dillon slowly stood up and looked at the body of the warlock girl that was occupied by the Brain Devourer King. He said helplessly, "The princess of the North has awakened the magic eye. This information alone is worth the trip. Besides, a little girl's body can't withstand your power for a long time. Stop it. There will be many opportunities to fight in the future."

"Hmph, what a cowardly rat!" Vivian said with a pout, suppressing the surging power of the Brain Devouring King in her body.

As soon as she finished speaking, a void gate appeared behind her. Before leaving with the dark merchant who was on the verge of death, she did not forget to blow a kiss to Elstin.

"Dear Elstin, when we meet again, let us be husband and wife!"

"Say goodbye to the world!" Elstin said without a trace of emotion. Along with the voice came sword blades formed by countless black flames launched by the Demon Eye, sweeping in from all directions.

However, the door to the void closed first, throwing the two figures into a strange distance.

Looking at the surroundings which were gradually becoming quiet, Allen dragged his exhausted body and let out a long sigh. This trip to the imperial capital was far more thrilling and exciting than he had imagined.

He walked towards Elstin, who was pale and holding her arm.

"Don't you always hate me? Why did you save me just now? Even at the cost of losing an arm..."

“It’s okay…” As the power of the magic eye almost emptied her entire body, Elstin looked very dull, her eyes fixed on the half of her arm left. “This is my fate. As the heir to the Duke without blood ties, I have to risk my life in times of crisis to protect you, the legitimate son. But it’s not important anymore…”

A strange and fragile thing flashed in Allen's black pupils. He knelt on one knee beside her and stroked her cheek, "Your body is so cold..."

"That's true!" Elsteen suddenly stood up and just as she was about to lift her legs, she swayed and was about to fall down. Fortunately, Allen held her.

However, Elsteen waved him away, stood up stubbornly, and said in a voice as cold as ice, "You don't need to help me."

The moon in the night sky has faded a lot, and the deep sky has gradually turned a light purple. The night will soon pass, and a new dawn is about to come...

Little did they know that everything that happened that night was clearly reflected in a crystal ball in the Duke of the North's mansion.

Tina's blue eyes were fixed on Elstin's, always examining something.

Duke Howard, who was sitting on the sofa, sipped a glass of strong liquor and said boredly, "I don't think we need to waste our energy on monitoring Elsteen. She has done so many times, and this time she even sacrificed her own arm to protect little Allen. Isn't that enough to prove her loyalty? She is a good girl who obeys us unconditionally like a loyal dog."

"She is just a killing weapon of the family, and once the killing weapon becomes blunt, it will inevitably escape the fate of being abandoned." Tina suddenly turned her head and stared at the red camellia flowers in the garden outside the window.

"Howard, isn't it time to hold the ceremony prepared for Elstin and little Allen?"

......

Black feathers slowly, slowly floated in the gloomy sky. It happened on a stormy night... It happened in the middle of the night when even dreams and hopes were lost. Elstin was possessed by the spirit of the dead, and a big crow flew over her head. The crow said this to her with a dreamy look in its eyes.

"You are about to take off the chastity clothes that you swore to protect with your life, kneel on the bed, raise your hips, and offer him your jade-like body almost obsessively. This fate will not change... Absolutely not!"

Time and space began to distort at that moment, and the black feathers turned into black, ferocious human faces, which pounced on her...

"Stinky sister...it's time to get up--" Ya Lian opened the door with the female doctor from the Imperial Capital Hospital and called Elstin softly, but at this moment, a gun was pointed at his head.

Elsteen woke up from a nightmare, holding the gun tightly in her hand and pointing it at Allen who suddenly disturbed her dream. She looked terrified and gasped. "Don't... don't touch me..."

The female doctor was frightened and ran away screaming.

Allen was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Good morning, little sister." He turned around and, like his stepmother, skillfully began to pour the brewed black tea into the teacup and handed it to Elstin. "This morning's black tea is made from Assam black tea with a lot of milk. Milk has a calming effect on the mind and can calm your mood."

Passing it to Elstin who was still terrified, "Especially after having a nightmare..."

Chapter 30: Autobiography of a Pervert

At noon, the sun was still a little slack.

A lizard was crouching on a rock beside the road, its back reflecting colorful warm light as it enjoyed a sunbath.

The half-closed eyes suddenly opened wide, and the lizard raised its front legs alertly, looking towards the end of the mountain road: a carriage was struggling to climb the slope. The black body of the carriage was covered with scars, which did not look like burn marks or scratches by hard objects, as if it had experienced some inexplicable turbulence.

The wheels rolled over the gravel, causing the ground to tremble. The lizard hissed at the uninvited guest twice, and its agile figure quickly disappeared into the crevice, leaving only a pair of pale yellow eyes peering in the darkness.

The carriage kept bumping and moving slowly along the winding mountain road. After nearly two weeks of travel, the sworn brother and sister who returned from the imperial capital finally passed through many valley passes, crossed narrow roads and streams, and entered the core area of ​​the northern province.

The autumn weather is pleasant, and even through a thick layer of glass, you can still smell the fragrance of wild flowers on both sides of the road.

Elstin was wearing a black lace canopy dress. Her long jet-black hair set off her cold face, making her look noble and unapproachable.

She tilted her head slightly, gazing at the oak trees growing on the hillside, and even at a family of wild boars that were swaggering across the road.

Except for the occasional jolt in the carriage, there was only deathly silence all around.
