Alien Knights

After sending everyone from the Froststone tribe out of the soul space, only Todd and Rachel remained in the huge temple.

Rachel looked up at the empty field, and said softly: "You are the only one who left me behind..."

Todd stood up from the chair, walked in front of Rachel, and said seriously: "What do you mean by those words just now?! We need to talk!"

"Your look and that line, it's like a play in those boxes," Rachel said with a smile.

Todd was taken aback for a moment, then rubbed his temples with a headache: "We're not acting in a TV series! What I'm going to say next is also a very serious matter!"

Rachel gradually put away the smile on her face, her expression looked somewhat melancholy and confused: "What do you want to say?"

Todd's voice echoed in the temple: "You should know what I want to say! Last time, you rejected me in the soul space, and this time you used Deirdre to seal my mouth. I want to know the reason behind all this!"

"That's not a refusal..."

"If it's not a refusal, then what is it?!"

Rachel lowered her head slightly: "You can take my words and deeds as... a kind explanation."

Todd's eyes widened: "Explain?! Rachel, do you know what you're talking about?! You're confusing me more and more!"

Rachel looked at the childish face in front of her, and closed her eyes: "Todd, I know what you want to say to me...but I'm not a suitable candidate for queen."

Todd's face is getting worse: "Did someone warn or threaten you?"

"No, that's not the case." Rachel spread her hands and said with a forced smile: "Todd, it's not the past anymore, you are the master of the kingdom, and my body is still marked by the nightmare."

Todd sat back on the throne again, and sighed heavily: "Rachel, if all you care about is status, then I can only say that you don't know me enough. Most of the evaluations given to me by my teachers and friends have such a word - stubborn. In my heart, I have a balance that measures everything, and the weight on it will not become heavier because of interests, nor will it become lighter because of favors."

The first time she heard the other party talk about the past, Rachel leaned forward and listened to Todd's every word with rapt attention.

"I use my own principles to look at and deal with the world. Maybe some people will laugh at my methods and thinking. I can't keep up with this era, but I still can't distort my soul to adapt to everything in the outside world." Todd's body leaned back weakly, and he looked exhausted.

He stared blankly into the distance, and murmured: "Whether it is the world in the past or the world in front of me, countless people have repeatedly emphasized to me that everything in the world is dark, and scrambling and fighting are the main themes for people to get along with each other. Naively treat everything with kindness, and sooner or later, one day, you will hit the stone wall called "reality", and your head will be broken... However, I still believe that things always have two sides. I am also willing to try my best to protect the flame of a star candle in the dark night."

Todd slowly raised his head and looked at this beautiful and intelligent woman, with a look of loneliness and loneliness that he had never seen before: "The world always calls you aliens, thinking that you are different from other human beings. As everyone knows, aliens whose bodies are different from ordinary people can still rely on medicine to recover, but what should we do with a alien whose soul is different from ordinary people like me?"

At this moment, Rachel suddenly stepped onto the throne, and hugged Todd tightly into her arms.

The woman buried Todd's face in her chest, without saying a word, her body trembling.

"Rui... Qi... Er?" Facing the woman's sudden actions, Todd was a little at a loss.

Rachel said to Todd in a distorted voice: "This world is dark and hopeless. If you want to survive, you can only use conspiracy and tyranny to protect yourself... Before I met you, I always thought so..."

Supporting the other person's head with both hands, Rachel looked at Todd with slightly red eyes and said, "But after meeting you, I realized that there is a alien species whose soul is different from others' in this world."

"As you said just now, everything has two sides, and human nature is no exception. Where there is darkness, there will naturally be light, and where there is loss, there will also be integrity." Rachel knelt in front of the throne, leaning her body into Todd's arms: "Even those heinous and vicious thugs, deep in their hearts, are quietly yearning for the arrival of light."

"If you don't believe me, just look at those people gathered under your command. Emerson, Cumberland, Terrence, Huggins, Alfonso... Do you think they submit to your strength? Or do you worship your wisdom?" Rachel's pupils reflected Todd's face: "None of them. The reason why they came here willingly is because they, like me, saw the hope of humanity in you and saw an equal future!"

"In this world, there is no shortage of those politicians who play tricks, nor those brilliant scholars, nor those kings who only know how to conquer and kill. No matter how famous these people are, they are like the waves in the sea. After turning over the waves and making a sound, they are completely annihilated in history." Rachel put his arms around the other's waist: "But, Todd, you are different. You are an incomparably precious existence to this world."

Hearing this, Todd grabbed Rachel's soft and boneless hands, pulled her in front of him, and asked eagerly, "So, you're not going to reject me this time?"

Hearing the other party's question, the light gradually faded from Rachel's eyes.

"The queen's throne...is not for me..."

Rachel's words made Todd furious: "Why do you say that?!"

"Todd, there are many women who are more suitable to accompany you to the end than me. For example, Deirdre..."

"Rachel!"

Todd stood up suddenly, and shouted at the woman who fell on the ground, "What do you think of things like feelings?!"

Tears glistened in Rachel's eyes, and Todd swallowed back the ensuing reprimand.

Todd sat back on the throne, inserted his fingers into his hair, and said with a dejected face: "In the past, you still hoped to use the issue of heirs as a bargaining chip to protect the interests of the alien race; but now, you refuse to accept the throne of the queen! I don't understand, I really don't understand what you are thinking."

Something warm and soft covered Todd's lips.

Todd looked at the beautiful face close at hand, felt the temperature from the other's vermilion lips, and his mind went blank for a moment.

After a long time, the two parted, and Todd said to Rachel with difficulty: "You..."

The latter still had tears in the corners of his eyes, but his face was full of smiles: "Don't talk, kiss me."

After being stripped of his clothes, the clouds and the rain, the last thing in Todd's memory is to change the clear sky in the soul space into a bright galaxy.
