CHAPTER 48 (2/2)

The third prince stared at him for a moment. “You, these days…”

The fifth prince interrupted him and asked, “What does Third Brother think I can do?”

The third prince raised one eyebrow.

The fifth prince said, “I’m fine. Third Brother, please go back.”

The third prince didn’t have a good temper. Once he saw this, he didn’t bother wasting any more time and nearly turned away.

Xie Xi glanced at the fifth prince, his heart filled with worry. Randall’s eyes were dark. Has he been sleeping?

The third prince fought Sirius in the training hall and the two men didn’t go outside all day.

Xie Xi looked at Sirius and thought about Randall. He couldn’t let it go. These two good people, their lives had changed with Sein Hall’s death.

This made him very uncomfortable. It might be for the task but he was actually bringing them pain.

He couldn’t make any progress on the side of the third prince at the moment. Xie Xi calculated the time and the next night, he sneaked into the fifth prince’s palace.

Dreaming was available to be used on the same person once every three days. It should be available now.

Xie Xi used a reserve face to become the fifth prince’s maid and slipped into his sleeping quarters.

It was already the middle of the night but the fifth prince wasn’t sleeping. He sat on the bed and stared at the empty space in front of them.

Xie Xi waited for three or four hours, until it became cold and the prince fell asleep on the bed.

Xie Xi looked at his pale complexion and dark circles and felt heartache.

Why…

Looking at Randall, Xie Xi didn’t understand why people were so passionate about love.

Xie Xi activated Dreaming. He found himself standing in front of the fifth prince’s bed. Did it fail? Dreaming didn’t work?

However, there was a hint in the lower right corner. [Congratulations on the successful use of Dreaming. You have entered the dream of Randall Atlantis.]

Xie Xi was stunned before understanding that the fifth prince’s dream was in his bedroom.

The fifth prince sat up and saw Xie Xi, but he didn’t show any surprise.

Roast Pork Bun excitedly said, “Daddy, you seem to be a ghost!”

Xie Xi bowed his head and found that he was translucent, with a faint light emitting from his hand. It turned out that in Randall’s dream, he was a ghost!

Randall looked at him before slowly spoke. “I am a coward.”

Xie Xi wanted to open his mouth but found that he was unable to speak in this dream!

It was impossible for a ghost to speak in the fifth prince’s heart?

Randall stood up and walked to him. Xie Xi floated high in the air and could just look at Randall.

Randall moved his fingers but didn’t touch. He seemed to know that he couldn’t touch Xie Xi.

“Mother was right. I’m a coward, a deserter and doomed to be defeated by the storm!”

Xie Xi was very familiar with these words. He remembered that in the last dream, the queen shouted these words to the fifth prince who gave up everything. The fifth price bravely went out and pursued the life he wanted. Now…

Randall’s eyes were red. It was said that he wanted to hug Xie Xi while knowing he couldn’t.

“I’ve always been useless… I was born in the royal family and became a prince, but I was still delusional about my life. How can I have my own life? Where is real freedom? How could the shackles flowing through my blood let me go?”

“I flattered myself by thinking I was brave and that I could guard everything I love. In fact, I am just escaping, escaping from sorrow, escaping from suffering and escaping from all the disappointment.”

“I’m such a deserter and a coward. So what if met you? I can’t protect you, I can’t hug you and I can’t even show my heart to you.”

“If I wasn’t so incompetent and had enough strength, if I had known more, I would’ve never let you die.”

Xie Xi was shocked and understood the fifth prince’s pain.

He felt remorseful, blamed himself and was deeply immersed in doubts. He saw the conspiracy behind the sixth prince and determined that Sein Hall was a casualty.

He thought he was too far away from the centre of power and didn’t know anything. He didn’t know that his beloved was discarded and sent to the guillotine.

If he knew these things, if he hadn’t been deaf, if he didn’t shrink back in his ivory tower, he would’ve definitely stopped Sein Hall and saved him.

This knot became a poisonous snake, licking at Randall’s heart.

Xie Xi couldn’t open his mouth. Even if he could speak, what could he say? A dead person couldn’t say anything to comfort a living person.

Randall slowly raised his hand, slender fingers touching Xie Xi’s cheeks. He couldn’t touch but he could look.

“Sein.” Randall whispered. “If there is an afterlife, will you please give me a chance to fall in love with you?”

Xie Xi was stunned.

This was the first time Jiang Xie wanted to slap his own soul. Stupid guy, he asked such a question so why didn’t he let Xie Xi speak?

Xie Xi’s soft heart meant he might’ve said yes.

Once the quasi-world was cleared, Randall’s ‘afterlife’ would be Jiang…

Good, because of this idiot, he missed a once in 100 million chance.

Xie Xi didn’t say anything. Once he left the dream of the fifth prince, he whispered, “If I leave the quasi-world, what will happen to these souls?”

Did Randy, Aix-en and Gars come from the first world or did they just have the same name and appearance?

Jiang Xie’s eyes slightly lit up at Xie Xi’s murmur.
