[BL] Accidentally Becoming the Healer of the Deranged Archduke novel Chapter 353

Chapter 353: The Love Guide

Life is full of surprises.

It had always been true, but Xion had never felt it more deeply than today.

Just as his heart was still full from the painting, he found himself staring at little trinkets carefully kept in a box.

Darius must have never thought that anyone would even dare to step inside his treasure room, so there were no locks on the boxes.

Yes, there wasn’t just one but many.

The holy book, which he had left behind, was carefully labelled with "My Xion’s".

There was a glass bottle with green misty sparkle shimmering inside. The green aurora had long since lost its energy.

At that time, Xion had no idea that this was such a common thing for aristocrats.

The bottle, despite being empty of traces of mana, had many scratches on the glass as if someone had held it very often.

The more he rummaged through the boxes, the harder his heart thumped.

There was that angel-winged hairpin he had bought from the system, and there was that separate box filled with dried flowers.

Some white, some pink, but most of them were blue.

"Blue suits you."

Those words faintly echoed in his ears.

The pad of fingers barely touched the dried petal before retreating.

"They look so fragile, as if one touch and they might just be gone for good."

The system couldn’t understand the melancholy radiating off its host. If His Grace was keeping all these things like cherished treasures, shouldn’t Xion be happy?

[That is exactly what should happen. But why are you sad, host?]

Xion gently closed the box before his finger hovered over another one, placed far too deep into the clusters of various sizes of boxes.

"Just as you’ve said, the vanishing is natural. So, what if... I mean... just an assumption, what if I disappear? What will Darius do?"

[He will bring you back, of course.]

The answer was straightforward to the point that it made Xion chuckle. A mirthless laugh.

"Yes, he will. Won’t he?" Then why is there a sudden sense of suffocation burning in my chest?

It was as if all these things, adored like some jewel, had started to decay something inside. Just like those flowers.

They seemed to whisper that he, too, might one day wither like them. He had already started to feel it in his eyes.

"I feel bad."

He actually felt worse. So much that the clarity in his vision had started to sting him.

If he weren’t blind, then he could have done so many things with Darius. He could have painted them. Or maybe cooked.

He could have helped him with his official work.

More than anything else, he just wanted to take a proper look at Darius’ face. Was that too much to ask?

Perhaps yes.

"The love guide."

"By Allen."

"One should be gentle with their partner." Under such a title, there were even types of gentleness.
