Chapter 31: I want to be both your younger brother and stepmother. (8)

Rafa lowered his gaze, forcibly shifting his attention. Yue Chu was indeed very talented. With just a little guidance, he could comprehend the essence. It's no wonder Rozi, who was always rigid, liked him so much.

He couldn't help but look at this beautiful child. Unlike Xinuo, he always seemed gentle and patient, treating those around him with care and without using his status to oppress them.

But Rafa didn't dislike this gentleness because Yue Chu's gentleness was tempered from perseverance, not limitless compromise.

Life in the outer city was many times harder, even for someone as strong as Yue Chu, who hadn't grown to the point of being invincible due to his young age. He had to endure many hardships, even life-threatening situations, to gradually become strong.

If... Rafa occasionally entertained this thought, if Yue Chu had always lived by his side, carefully nurtured by him, would he have already grown into a formidable prince?

However, this thought was quickly extinguished by him. Regardless, his decision had been made, and Xinuo was also a good child who could become a powerful ruler in the future.

Rafa avoided Yue Chu's hopeful gaze, not even reaching out to help the child who was still sitting on the eaves. He turned around, ready to leave, but his sleeve was pulled by someone.

Yue Chu whispered, "Your Majesty, I will be leaving in a few days. Before I go, can I selfishly ask you to accompany me?"

The voice was so fragile, like newly sprouted leaves, which would break with just a little force.

Rafa's long still heart trembled suddenly. He furrowed his brows tightly and slowly pulled his sleeve away from Yue Chu's hand.

He turned his head and met those slightly moist eyes, the slightly reddened eye sockets reminiscent of roses, with a fragile beauty that was hard to resist.

Rafa compromised. He had deprived Yue Chu of so much already; he couldn't bring himself to refuse such a simple request.

He said in a deep voice, "Wipe the blood from your lips. I can only accompany you for a while."

Yue Chu smiled instantly, his eyes narrowing into crescent moons, the curve of his lips resembling the glow of newly brewed moonlight wine, clear and captivating.

He pointed to the highest point of the rooftop. "Could Your Majesty accompany me to the highest point to admire the beautiful moonlight together?"

Rafa glanced at him faintly, sighing inwardly. Was even this final wish so humble?

Wrapped in his black cloak, Yue Chu was brought by Rafa to the rooftop's highest point. They stood side by side, barely half a meter apart. Looking out, the entire royal city lay before them, ablaze with lights, lively and tranquil, like a holy land.

Yue Chu ran his fingers through his hair, tousled by the wind, and the myriad lights reflected in his crimson eyes, sparkling brilliantly.

He took a deep breath, sighing softly. "It's truly wonderful."

He turned his head to look at the towering Blood King. Just his presence alone brought a sense of reassurance. He was so unattainable yet also like a deity, making people dare not act recklessly.
