在一片 gold 光芒中，我与中宫令gl的 meet was a moment of pure chaos and pure power. The air was thick with tension as we stepped into the grand hall, the echoes of our footsteps echoing through the halls of the palace like ancient whispers waiting to be answered. Our eyes met across the crowded room, and in that instant, I knew I was not alone. Neither were we alone.
The king sat at his desk, his hand resting on a scrolls case as if it were a weapon. His eyes were cold, his expression impassive, and for all intents and purposes, he looked like the father of our protagonist. He turned to me with a smirk that could have been dangerous if not for the guards stationed around him.
“You have heard of him, boy,” he said without looking directly at us. “The son who has defied the crown and will do so again. Prepare yourself for the battle that will change this kingdom forever.”
I nodded, my heart racing as I took in every word. The king’s smirk grew wider, and his gaze softened ever so slightly, as if to say: “Don’t worry, dear boy. It will be easy.” But I knew better than to believe him. His words were a warning, a threat, and a reminder that this was not the life we had imagined.
“And you, gl?” he asked, his voice cold but laced with something else entirely. “You are not alone either. The darkness is closing in, and those who will rise from it are already among us.”
I turned to him, my eyes filled with a mix of fear and determination. “If you think I’m running, think again.” I glanced around the hall, sensing that the guards were still stationed at their posts, but there was something different in the air. A tension that was not of this world.
“You have the guts to face what cannot be faced,” he said, his voice low and urgent. “But remember, gl, this is not just a game. This is our reality.”
And with that, the king stepped aside, revealing a passage through the middle of the hall. He motioned for me to follow him, and I did so without hesitation, my mind racing with possibilities. What could he want? And why did he see something in me that made him uneasy?
As we walked down the hall, the silence was thick, heavy with the weight of our own secrets and the looming threat that surrounded us. The king led us to a hidden room behind a curtain that pulsed with an unnatural light. It was cold, and the air smelled of incense, but there was something about it that felt… different.
“Look at you,” he said again, his voice low and dangerous. “You are rising, gl. But be careful. The ones who rise from darkness will not let you go.”
I turned to him, my eyes locked with his. There was something in his gaze now that made me hesitate. A flicker of doubt that I tried to suppress, but it was only a pretense.
“I know what you are thinking,” he said, his voice smooth and seductive. “You want to turn back, to live the life you think is easier. But trust me, gl, when the time comes for us to face our destiny, it will not be easy. And if we fail… well…” He paused, a smirk playing on his lips. “Then there will be consequences.”
I nodded, my heart pounding in my chest as I realized that he had seen through me. That he knew what was going on before I did.
“You are not the boy,” he said firmly. “You are gl now. And whatever happens… you have my word.”
“My word?” I repeated, disbelief washing over me. “Your word? You think that just because I’m your enemy now, you can treat me like a friend? That’s not how it works, gl. This is too dangerous for either of us to play this game.”
He laughed, a deep, resonant sound that sent shivers down my spine. “Oh, sweet boy.” He reached out and squeezed my arm gently, his touch rough against my skin despite the cold air. “You know better than to argue with me when we are at war. So let’s play this game properly. Let’s see if I can still control you after all these years.”
I tried to speak, but only a harsh snort escaped me instead. The king smirked and stepped closer, his hand brushing against my arm. “You think you’re too tough now? Too clever?” he said, his voice low enough to cut through the air like a blade. “But I’ve watched you grow, gl. And even as an enemy, there is something about you that is… intriguing.”
Before I could react, the king stepped back, revealing another passage beyond this one. He motioned for me to follow him again, and this time, I did not argue.
“So…” he said, placing a hand on my shoulder as we entered the new hallway. “What’s next?”
“I don’t know,” I admitted, my mind racing with possibilities. “But I do know one thing: whatever you want to happen… I will stop it.”
And with that, he turned and began walking away, leaving me alone once more in the cold hall. But as he disappeared into the shadows of the night, something inside me told me that this was only the beginning. And no matter how much we clashed, there was a part of me that knew I couldn’t let go until this darkness was gone.
“So…” I thought to myself, my voice soft against the cold metal of the hallway. “This is just the start.” I turned and began walking back towards the palace, knowing that whatever lay ahead would be nothing short of a challenge.
And so, with every step, I became more determined than ever before to face whatever came our way, no matter how difficult it might seem. Because in the end, it was not just about defeating an enemy. It was about rising to the challenge… and proving that even in the darkest of times, there is still hope for those who dare to believe.
