Chapter 224 Hugging? Or Carry It?
,
The thousand-year-old village intends to revive the greatest hero in British history, Knight King Arthur Pendragon.
In view of this, in that village, the offspring of each family will be transformed with King Arthur as the prototype before and after birth, trying to create offspring that perfectly replicate King Arthur's body and use it as a container for King Arthur's resurrection.
Gray is one of the products of such pursuit and obsession.
If that's all, it's not a big deal. After all, everyone in their entire village has been transformed. Everyone is the same. No one needs to look down on anyone, and no one needs to feel inferior. It may be difficult for outsiders to understand, but in Inside their village, this is at best an ordinary family, without any special features.
But taking ten years ago as an opportunity, Gray's body has undergone tremendous changes. Muscles, bones, cheeks, etc., all gradually become the appearance of King Arthur.
For the village that took the task of resurrecting King Arthur as its mission, this was great news that was like a god descending on believers.
They regard Gray as an incomparably precious existence, and call her the Son of God, who respects and fears her, and expects her to be the container for King Arthur's resurrection, and puts all the wishes and obsessions of the entire village for thousands of years on her. over the shoulders.
Even her parents no longer regard her as a daughter, but King Arthur adores, fears, and alienates her.
In all fairness, Lucia felt that with Grey's past, even if she rejected the village's expectations, or even directly turned against the village, he thought it was a very normal thing.
That past must have had a very profound impact on Grey. The reason why she is so afraid of strangers and doesn't know how to communicate with people is probably largely due to the heavy expectations of the village.
But Gray didn't.
"I don't dislike everyone in the village, nor do I dislike this face and that past hero."
She didn't turn against the village, and she didn't even have the slightest repulsion, "but I'm very scared, afraid that I won't be myself anymore, so I've been hesitating all the time, not knowing how to make a decision."
"I really hate this kind of myself. On the one hand, I bear the expectations of everyone in the village, but on the other hand, I am hesitant because of fear, and I am wavering between two choices... Sometimes I am thinking, just give up on myself and become a Forget about the hero of the past."
She doesn't hate the village,
I don't hate King Arthur either, I just hate myself who can't make a choice because of fear.
That's why she yearns for Liu Xia who can be unshakable no matter who she faces. Liu Xia's straightforward and decisive style, no matter what happens, she will never be shaken by herself, which she will never have in her life.
"Why don't you resist?"
Lucia looked at Grey with inexplicable eyes, "Whether you want to be that hero in the past should be your freedom, right? No one can force you."
The reason why Gray has such self-loathing is probably because she lacks a firm enough self.
To put it bluntly, it means copying what others say, without assertiveness, easily influenced by others, and easily shaken in the heart.
"I... don't want to disappoint the expectations of everyone in the village."
Gray was silent, and said to Lucia in a self-deprecating tone: "It's not that I don't have the self-awareness in this aspect, I know that my heart is very immature, but I still can't make a decision."
In the final analysis, it was because Gray was too kind.
Didn't she think about resisting the heavy pressure in the village, and returning to the past relationship with her parents?
How could it not be, but when she thinks of the expectant eyes of everyone in the village, her determination will be shaken, and when she thinks of the words full of hope for her, she will no longer be able to say those words of resistance.
"Master came to the village, and when he saw me, he said bluntly to me, 'I hate that face of yours'. At that time, I was really happy."
A faint smile appeared on Gray's face, as if just that one sentence became her salvation, allowing her to escape from the quagmire of no choice.
"So later, when Master asked me to leave with him, I agreed...Mr. Liangyi? What's wrong with you?"
After Gray finished talking about her past, she realized that Lucia was standing there, lost in thought, with a thoughtful look on her face and an inexplicable look in her eyes.
"Really... I don't want to disappoint other people's expectations... It turns out it's such a simple thing, why haven't I thought of it?"
There was a sudden smile on Lucia's face, it was extremely light, but it made Gray feel that it was different from his past smiles, and there was a sense of brightness from the heart.
Gray tilted her head, she got up for some unknown reason, a bunch of dull hair on her head was swaying in the wind, making her look naive at the moment.
"No, it's nothing, it's just my personal matter, I want to understand something."
Lucia shook her head at Grey, didn't say much, but changed the subject, "The magic eye train has stopped ahead, we can catch up now."
"Eh? Can a servant even know this kind of thing?" Gray looked at him in surprise.
"My magic dress is placed on the car, so I can vaguely feel the distance from the train."
Liu Xia replied in this way: "At this distance, if I chase after it with all my strength, I should be able to reach it within three minutes...Grey, should I hug it or carry it on my back?"
"Eh?"
Gray was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but after realizing it, his face immediately flushed red, "That...you can just carry it on your back, hug it or something...it's too embarrassing."
"I see, come up."
Lucia squatted down, facing Gray with her back.
Gray moved her steps, although she was extremely embarrassed, she still walked behind him and lay on his back.
Lucia stood up, picked up Grey's legs with both hands, and could faintly feel the temperature of the skin through the black silk.
Gray buried her head directly on Lucia's back, her face was already red and ugly, she had never had intimate contact with the opposite sex, no matter whether she was hugged by the princess before or carried on her back now, she would let her Can't help but feel swayed.
"Hahaha! Is this going to make you fall in love, little Grey? I think this kid is a little younger, but he is much stronger than your master. He is a good candidate... Stop, don't shake, don't shake! "
Gray hugged Lucia's neck with one hand, and with the other hand through the cloak, he shook the birdcage vigorously, making Yad unable to say those strange words anymore.
"boom!"
"Wow!"
Under the short and low bang, Lucia carried Grey on her back, and rushed forward like an arrow from the string. The strong inertia made Grey exclaim involuntarily, and quickly let go of Yade , hugged Lucia's neck with both hands.
The figures of the two quickly disappeared.
