Academic Gathering with Lich Colleagues

Chapter 175 Pain
Her hands wrapped tightly around Lyle's waist, and Lederel was a little out of breath.Her face was tightly pressed against Lyle's abdomen, and the snow-white dress exposed her smooth back.Feeling the softness oppressing himself, and the smell of alcohol on his face, Lyle looked at her cheek.

"Beatrice?"

There was a drunken blush on her face, and she looked like she was about to cry, but no tears fell.

"Brother-in-law!" Beatrice first looked up at Lyle's beak mask, then buried her head down, and then heard crying in her voice.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! dont A little... silly.

Just when Lyle was at a loss, that figure came to his door.The bright red fluffy dress is like a blood-stained feather, with a dignified temperament and at the same time sad and lonely.The blood-colored figure stood under the cold moonlight, and its body was covered with shadows from the lights.

She is still so beautiful, so beautiful that it breaks my heart.

Arianna's veil was facing Lyle's mask, and her original impatience seemed to be covered up.Arianna stood still, with her arms folded on her waist and abdomen, then placed unnaturally on her side, and finally folded in front of her again in an inappropriate way.It's like those two slender arms are redundant, and there is no suitable place to put them at all.Maybe the broken-arm Venus thought so too.

Arianna came in and put her arms around Beatrice's waist and lifted her up. "Sorry, Binnie, she went to the banquet just now, and she may have drunk a little too much."

Looking at Beatrice who didn't shed a single tear, Lyall wondered, don't vampires have tears?

"She looks drunk... um... a rare sight..."

"Bi Ni is very arrogant to outsiders, but she is actually a very cute child."

Arianna stretched out her hand, trying to touch Beatrice who was leaning against her.

In the end, it was opened by her sister, and Beatrice puffed her face, with resentment in her eyes like a small pet being discarded. "Hmph, I've been crying for 30 seconds, and you're still talking to the plague doctor! You won't comfort me! I hate Anna the most!" Saying this, Beatrice ran away alone with a small temper.

After Beatrice left with her little emotions, silence returned to Lyall's room, and a dead silence froze around the two of them.

Lyall looked away from Arianna.

"Aren't you going to chase her?" Lyle stood up from the ground, slapping the unnecessary dust.

Arianna did not respond or take any other action.

"You're avoiding me."

The silence of the end of the topic fell into the air again.

"……I do not have."

"You have, you are avoiding my gaze... The focus of your sight was always on my side..." Arianna always maintained that usual cold, emotionless voice.

The oppression in his chest for the past two days and the imaginary beauty of the past hit Lyle's body, as if someone had strangled his neck, and he didn't make a sound, letting his irritability occupy his mind.

The silence continued for several minutes between the two of them.

Arianna's voice was a little softer, her voice so small it was almost indistinguishable.

"We are going to the final banquet, Plague Doctor."

"Yeah." Lyall beckoned to Nia on the ceiling, and Nia climbed onto Lyle, and her tentacles touched Arianna's onyx headdress a second before she was completely hidden.

A milky voice appeared in Lyle's ear.

"Not anymore..."

Lyle and Arianna moved in tandem, maintaining a constant distance from each other.But inside, something is quietly changing.

The main hall of the castle was bathed in lights, shining like daytime. The noisy sound made the atmosphere more lively, and also added a bit of enthusiasm to the music of the performers.

Kevin and the others had already arrived at the ball, and they didn't notify Lyle before because they saw the scene of Beatrice knocking on the door.They were leaning on a ledge, their eyes scanning the ball crowd.

Karen and Ariane stood not far from them. The difference was that Karen was staring at the food, and Ariane was staring at Karen.

Fanila and Hines stood on the other side, and they also had no intention of joining the ball. Fanila looked at the roast suckling pig on the table with dissatisfaction, and Hines closed his eyes and meditated. The white flame lantern in his hand , the lights are burning vigorously.

"Plague doctor..." Arianna was looking at the dancing figures in the center of the ball. Their dresses were dancing with the music. Under the candlelight, they looked like blooming flowers.

"I want to go to a dance...with you..." The last voice was almost lost, but from Arianna's movements and tone of inquiry, Lyle easily understood what she meant.

There was a dream and absurdity in his heart, and there was a trill in Lyle's voice that even he couldn't detect.

"why me……"

Arianna bowed her head and clasped her fingers.

"Because...the plague doctor is...I feel very...I'm curious..." The veil was raised again, and Lyall could feel that Arianna was expecting his answer.

However, Lyle was already sunk in uncontrollable sadness at this time, and the restlessness in his heart was like a rising flame that ignited his reason.

"To you... I'm just... curious about new things? Have you ever had... other feelings?"

Arianna seemed to be in a panic. She didn't know the answer to this question, but she knew that the current appearance was definitely not what she wanted.

She took Lyle's hand, and took it carefully, her voice was anxious, but also flustered with a sense of loss, her voice was trembling.

"I don't know...Plague doctor..." Arianna lowered her head, and then her veil slowly approached, as if trying to penetrate the two lenses, staring directly at Lyle's soul, "I don't know... Do I have any other feelings..." Her voice was mournful, like the cry of a swan about to die, "Maybe...the epidemic doctor...can teach me...what should I have...feelings .”

The pain in his heart burned out Lyall's reason, and he suffered from unrequited sadness.

Acting impulsively, Lyle burned that image onto his wounds.After shaking off her palm, she silently endured the disappointment of being rejected.

"I'm not like you, Arianna, I don't have time...to teach a...one who has no heart."

Lyle didn't know how he felt, his heart was numb, and he returned to his room in a trance.

　Ah, I planned to finish writing it properly, but after reading [-] words, I will leave the follow-up to tomorrow's self.
