Late at night——
The starry sky is bright and everything is quiet, except for the low hum of the waves washing against the coast——
Click——
The door lock was twisted, and Noel, who had changed into plain clothes, opened the door and walked out with a suitcase.
Looking back at the made bed, Noel tightened the suitcase in his hand and quietly left the villa.
Looking back at the window above the attic of the manor, Noel turned around and walked out of the manor gate under the moonlight and left straight along the path.
He has stayed here for too long, and there is not much time left for him, so it is time to leave.
Stepping on the dry leaves, Noel felt calm with a hint of sadness and confusion.
About fifteen minutes later——
Noel stopped, his eyes filled with confusion.
"Ah, Noel can't sleep too?"
Lux, who had her back turned to Noel, suddenly turned around and looked over. Her long skirt, which was slightly damp due to the humid sea breeze, shone brightly in the moonlight.
Her long pink hair swayed in the wind, and her fair skin and flawless cheeks looked dreamy and beautiful under the white moonlight.
"Why are you here?"
Noel looked at Lux who was slowly approaching in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a trace of panic and guilt in his eyes.
However, this panic was quickly suppressed by him.
What do I have to feel guilty about?
"You can take a guess."
Lux raised her hand to tuck her wind-blown hair behind her ears and replied with a smile.
After hearing this, Noel took a deep breath of the salty air, his eyes and expression gradually returned to calm, and he met Lux's gaze and said calmly: "Thank you for taking care of me during this time, but it's time for me to leave."
"Can you give me a reason?"
The expression on Lux's face did not change when she heard this, she just stared at Noel's expression.
"Go home - it's time for me to go home, and I want to go home."
Facing Lux's gaze, Noel said this word that fascinated him but was beyond his reach.
"this--"
Lux thought of countless ways to say it, but she never thought of this answer. For a moment, she didn't know how to answer.
"My life is coming to an end, and I want to stand on the land of my hometown in the last moments of my life."
There was a hint of sadness and helplessness in Noel's eyes.
Sad because he has no way to return to his hometown.
He was helpless because he really didn't have much time.
"Noel, you really gave an inexcusable reason."
The words of persuasion in Lux's heart could no longer be uttered.
She could feel the determination and sadness from Noel. What else could she say in this situation?
After hearing this, Noel felt a little mixed, including dissatisfaction due to Lux letting go, confusion about the future, and happiness that Lux could find that he left quietly.
Looking at Lux's thin clothes, Noel tightened her suitcase and walked over slowly.
Under Lacus's gaze, Noel put the suitcase on the ground, took off his coat and put it on Lacus: "Thank you for coming to see me off, but you still have to take care of yourself. After all, you are the future Princess of Peace."
"Noel, have you ever thought about your future?"
Lux calmed down, feeling the warmth coming from all around and couldn't help but ask Noel attentively.
Yes, Noel’s reasons are impeccable and cannot be stopped, but——
"I--"
Noel was about to say something, but looking at Lux's expression, Noel suddenly stopped.
Subconsciously avoiding Lux's sight, he asked towards the distant sea horizon: "I wonder if you have heard of a saying, we never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first."
Lux didn't answer, just stared at Noel's side face quietly.
Noel tilted his head and smiled: "And I was just unlucky. I met an accident first and lost my future."
"you·····"
Lux hesitated to speak. She really wanted to ask Noel, is all this really a simple 'accident' that can be summed up for you?
But she couldn't say it.
At this moment, the strong Lux retreated.
Because she herself is not qualified and does not have the courage to continue asking for the answer to this topic.
She didn't know what expression and tone Noel would use to answer her questions, nor what kind of answer he would give.
I don't even know how to make up for it.
Accident--
Yes, everything that does not go well for the parties concerned can be summarized as accidents.
But who can know how much sadness and helplessness these two simple words carry.
Noel looked at Lux's face and couldn't help but ask: "Lax, do you believe in fate?"
In fact, the recent period of life has not been so happy for Noel.
Some things really need to be made clear.
"destiny?"
Lux looked up at Noel, and looking at Noel's calm face, Lux couldn't help but ask: "Do you want to say that everything you have suffered is destined?"
After his parents died tragically, he went through plant life, and finally lived a stable life, but he encountered Bloody Valentine's Day again, and was later arranged by his father to conduct an adjuster gene completion experiment.
In the end, the gene collapsed, and I struggled in pain every day. I had never experienced the pain caused by the gene collapse.
But Noel's almost distorted face when he got sick gave Lux a rough idea.
Can all this be summed up in one word, 'accident'?
Can it really be summed up by the word 'accident'?
"I--"
Noel opened his mouth to speak, but looking at Lux's shining eyes, he still couldn't spit out the following words.
Lux stared into Noel's eyes——
Noel retreated in defeat, bent down and picked up the suitcase from the floor, saying, "It's time for me to go."
"etc!"
Just when Noel was about to leave, Lux stopped Noel and said, "Noel, can you answer my final question?"
"what is the problem?"
Noel, who picked up the suitcase again, calmed down his emotions and answered Lux's gaze.
"You came to me when my father died and said you wanted to determine whether I was worthy of the future you entrusted to me."
Lux pulled the clothes around her body with both hands and asked Noel's gaze.
"Yes."
Noel nodded. To be honest, he felt a little incredible sometimes.
It seems that I have really become a saint——
The world kissed me with pain, and I responded with song -
Obviously he should become the devil in Cruze's words, the guy who falls into the abyss in Cruze's words, the guy who drags the world into the abyss——
But in the end, I did fall into the abyss, but instead of doing what I expected, I chose to compromise and choose...
"Noel, can you tell me what the future is in your mind?"
Since that day, Lux has been curious about the answer to this question.
And this curiosity becomes more intense as time goes by.
Entrust the future——
This was the first person to say this word in front of her.
"Didn't you already do it?"
Noel did not answer directly, but asked back with a smile.
In the future, in fact, Noel doesn't know what the future is in his mind.
Because he never had a future, he lost it from the moment he landed.
If he really wants to say what the future is in his heart, then living his life like an ordinary person may be the future in his heart.
"What about now? Has the future in your mind changed?"
Lux continued to ask.
"I--"
Looking at Lux's eyes that reflected the world, Noel suddenly laughed and said, "There is no future."
Listening to Noel's pretending to be free and easy, Lux's face showed a hint of gloom, and there was a twinge in her heart.
This was pain like she had never felt before.
"but--"
However, before Lux's emotions could rise and fall, she heard Noel continue: "But I always believe that the future in your heart is the future that I once wanted to pursue."
Lux's pupils suddenly shrank.
"I always firmly believe that the path you are taking is the right one. I have always believed in this, but I may not be able to accompany you to see your future come."
"This sentence may be a bit cunning, but please take the future that belongs to me and continue to work hard. After all, compared to a world full of sadness, I would rather sleep in a world full of singing."
After speaking, Noel stretched out his hand to rub the top of Lux's head, then walked over Lux with the suitcase in hand.
Lux looked at Noel's leaving back and was speechless for a long time. Her throat became more and more difficult to swallow, and even her vision became blurred in a daze.
Looking at Noel's leaving figure, Lux slowly raised her hand to grab something——
However, when she wanted to raise her hand to grab it, her reason stopped her.
Because she doesn’t know what she can say after catching Noel, and she doesn’t know what she can do——
Do you want Noel to be unable to find peace in the last moments of his life?
Because I stubbornly wanted peace, I asked Noel to spend his last peaceful time, which was the last time of Noel's life...
Inexplicably, Lux felt scared in her heart.
Looking at Noel gradually leaving, she couldn't help but regret her own cowardice.
She once thought she was strong and persevering...
But now, she feels that she is weak, uneasy, scared, frightened, and worried——
"Noel..."
————
Noel walked out of the forest under the starlight above his head, and his slightly thin figure looked a little lonely in the sea breeze.
"I thought you weren't going to leave."
At this moment, Mina Sahak, wearing a long black dress, walked out of the darkness, with her usual long black hair and black dress, as noble and elegant as a queen.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Noel looked at the dew on Mina Sahak's clothes and couldn't help feeling a little apologetic.
"It's nothing, but do you really want to leave like this?"
Mina Sahak waved her hand, folded her hands on her chest and walked slowly towards Noel.
"What's the meaning?"
Noel looked confused, not knowing what Meena Sahak meant.
"I heard your conversation, so you plan to abandon Lux Klein and leave with me. I can see that she likes you. Have you really thought about it?"
Mina Sahak walked to Noel and stood side by side with him.
She actually doesn't like standing on the same line as others, but today, she wants to try this feeling.
"hehe--"
Noel couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he heard this. He looked at the dense forest behind him and murmured: "I'm just a person with no future. Besides-"
"Besides?"
Mina Sahak looked at Noel's thin figure and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
However, the moment this feeling appeared, she was filled with doubts.
Will I feel bad?
When did this start?
"nothing."
Noel shook his head and did not continue.
Are you willing to give up Lux?
To be honest, I can't bear to part with it.
Lux Klein is undoubtedly a goddess-level existence in the entire seed world.
She fulfills almost all of a man's fantasies about his future partner.
Beautiful, dignified, smart, kind, considerate, considerate——
How many men would not be tempted by such a woman?
But that's why Noel had to leave.
He has no future.
In addition, his relationship with Lux is too complicated, and their relationship is destined to be full of impurities.
Noel is not a genius, nor is he an emotional intelligence expert who can see through her heart at a glance.
Do you really like how Lux takes care of you?
Is there really no guilt caused by the Siegel Klein incident?
Is there really no desire to regain a weapon because of the loss of Kira?
Is it really not because you want to gain support from the plant Sarah faction?
It's not that Noel is judging a gentleman with a villain's heart, but the relationship between him and Lux is too complicated, so complicated that Noel doesn't know how to face Lux.
If given enough time, Noel might try to remove the impurities, and he believed that Lux would do the same, because she was Lux Klein, and Noel had no doubt about it.
But what he lacked was time.
He didn't have time to stay here any longer.
Luo Ye has finally returned to his roots. Yes, he is indeed not from this world, but he also hopes that he can die in a 'familiar' place.
Even if it is just my strange hometown.
So he chose to escape. Escape may not solve the problem, but it is the only method you can use when you are at your wits end.
“It’s really surprising that even the feared Red God of Death can have moments when he lacks confidence.”
Mina Sahak looked at the expression on Noel's face and felt her aching heart, so she couldn't help but make fun of him.
"Haha, the Red Death is a human being and not a god after all."
Noel could only smile bitterly in response to Mina Sahak's teasing.
"I always thought you were a tough guy."
Meena Sahak did not lie.
In her eyes, Noel has always been a tough person. After encountering Noel's experience, how many people can persevere and not be driven crazy?
Despair, despair, despair—still despair!
Under the impact of so much despair, too few people can still maintain their sanity.
Not to mention in a person with such power.
"Tenacity? Aren't I a weak, pitiful, troubled wretch?"
Noel couldn't help but laugh.
He never felt like a tough guy.
He always felt that he was just a weak wretch.
"Who said this!"
Mina couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly when she heard the words, and her words were a little cold.
"Uh-that's what I said."
Hearing Mina Sahak's sudden change of tone, Noel actually felt like he was startled.
After hearing this, Mina Sahak couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly, turned her head and glanced at Noel fiercely, and said: "You have never been a weak and pitiful person!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the small boat docked not far away without looking back.
"hehe--"
Noel couldn't help laughing as he watched Mina Sahak leave.
Finally, he glanced at the island behind him, and Noel followed him slowly with his suitcase. Life is always full of regrets and imperfections, but this is what makes life seem real and full of memories.
"Aren't you going to go out? There is still room on the boat."
At the edge of the forest, Captain Malu came to Lux's side at some point.
Lux didn't answer, she just tightened her tight clothes, pursed her lips and looked at the boat that was gradually going away.
Can she go? Emotion told her that she should catch up.
But her reason and responsibility told her——
It wasn't until the boat completely disappeared that Lux looked back at Captain Malu and said, "Can you tell me what this uncontrollable emotion is in my heart?"
"Eh--"
Malu opened her mouth to speak, but looking at Lux's increasingly moist eyes, she sighed and put her arms around Lux's head.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
In fact, the relationship between Noel and Lux is very complicated, so this is the only way to make it reasonable.
