Transmigrated into Another Apocalyptic World (BL)

Luciel might not believe in such things as love, but he wouldn't prevent others from believing in love.

But it doesn't mean he would just let such kids with him believe in such distorted love.

In the storybook, the little mermaid sacrifices her voice and even suffers pain just to go and see the prince, who doesn't even know herself.

They could say that she did that because she indeed loves the prince, but isn't she too conceited of herself?

She wasn't even sure if the prince even knew herself and fell in love with herself just because she saved him.

She traded such things even though the witch only gave her 3 days as a deadline. So, in Luciel's perspective, the princess was just conceited and foolish.

He understands that others believe that when you're in love, happiness, sadness, and hardships should be shared. However, this premise assumes that both people genuinely love each other. However, in the storybook, it was just one-sided.

"That's not love?" Ashlee asked.

"That's sick love. If you want to love others, you should learn to love yourself first. How could you just sacrifice yourself for something like that?

So, when you grow up in the future, don't follow such an example," Luciel said.

"Okay," Ashlee said while nodding.

"Sophie, why do you even want to be a princess just to marry a prince?" Luciel asked.

"Because it says a prince is handsome and kind!" Sophie said.

"Huh. That's all?"

Sophie nodded.

This time, Luciel was a bit dumbfounded by what Sophie answered. Kids really had simple thinking; Sophie wanted to be a princess just because of something that seemed simpler than her actual wish.

"Sophie, you don't need to be a princess to marry someone who is handsome and kind. I'm not sure about being kind, but look, aren't I and Treyton handsome?" Luciel said while pointing at himself and at Treyton.

"Very handsome!"

"See? So, even if you aren't a princess, you will surely find someone who is handsome and kind to marry when you grow up," Luceil said.

With the way things are currently, he doesn't know what would happen by the time Sophie's of marriageable age. If the situation improved, it would be easier for her to find someone who is handsome and kind, but if the current chaos persisted, it would be more difficult to find someone who is handsome and kind.

However, there is no need to say something like that to Sophie. It would take years before they grow up anyway.

Kids were often influenced by what they could see; even if they were just saying it for now and might not remember it fully when they grew up sometimes, they would still be affected by it subconsciously. So, it's better to correct their misunderstanding earlier.

"Ok," Sophie nodded happily.

After he finished giving a satisfactory answer to Sophie, he also answered Theo's question.

"As for Theo's question, the answer would depend on what the couple would be doing later on.

The story didn't say anything further, so we don't know if they could really live happily ever after.

However, in reality, love isn't enough to make everyone live happily ever after.

For example, even if lovers were really in love with each other but there's no food to eat, they would certainly be unhappy.

So, to live happily, they would need to do a lot of things," Luciel said.

"I see," Theo said while nodding.

"Heh, I didn't know Ciel could actually say such things," Treyton said teasingly while caressing his cheeks.

"What's with that tone? Of course I can say such things; I'm not dumb," Luciel said while removing Treyton's hand from his cheeks.

"Nothing, I was just a bit surprised that you can actually say something like that," Treyton said.

"I'm just saying those words, so of course I can."

Treyton wanted to say something more but was interrupted by Nina, who brought their lunch.

"Sir Treyton, Sir Luciel, these are your meals," Nina said while putting some dishes on the small table in front of them.

"It seemed that calling me Sir was really ingrained in others already," Luciel said after Nina left.

He already said to the others that they could just call him by his name, but they refused, and most of them were still calling him sir.

The only people that were calling his name were Treyton, Nathan, Yang, and Richard.

"Yeah, they don't want to change how they address you, so just let them be," Treyton said.

"I know," Luceil said. He wasn't actually bothered about it, so he just let them be.

While they were enjoying their meal, Nina brought another dish in front of Treyton.

"Huh? Nina, why are you bringing something only now?" Luciel asked.

"This was cooked by Dion for Sir Treyton. He had been practicing improving his cooking for the past few days. He finally cooked something very good, so he wanted to give his first satisfactory dish for Sir Treyton to appraise," Nina explained.

He had nearly forgotten that a person named Dion was following them. He warned the other party and the others not to let Dion appear in front of him, and they were indeed doing that; that's why he nearly forgot his existence.

If Dion hadn't brought a dish for Treyton, he would have forgotten about him already.

But it seemed that Dion was only thinking of a way to appear in front of Treyton again; that's why he went to practice his cooking skills.

"To appraise, is it? Let me try," Luceil said, and put the dish in front of him and tried it.

"Oh, your previous secretary still has something good about him; at least this dish is indeed delicious," Luciel said.

"If you like it, you can have it," Treyton said without caring about the dish.

"Sir, what should I tell Dion?" Nina asked.

"Just tell them that Luceil liked it. If he wanted someone to appraise his cooking, he could just give it to others. No need to give it to me," Treyton said.

Nina nodded and went away.

"Won't your ex-secretary cry after he hears what you just said?" Luciel said while looking at Treyton with a smile.

Of course, Dion would surely hate him even further after hearing Treyton's response.

"Why should I care if he cries or not? He isn't my responsibility," Treyton said and resumed eating.

"Nice," Luciel said, and he gave Treyton a thumbs up before he continued to eat.

Treyton really doesn't care much about the emotional issues of others. Even if they were all about himself, he could easily disregard them as long as he didn't want it, which was also obvious in his history of changing lovers frequently.

"Don't worry, I will only properly care about you," Treyton said with a smile.

"Of course you should. If you can't, then I won't be staying with you," Luceil answered.

If Treyton couldn't even take care of him, then he wouldn't be staying with him.

"Then you won't be able to separate yourself from me because I could certainly take care of you for a long time."

"Heh, are you sure? How many times have I used a dagger already? In the beginning, I even had to wait for you to wake up for 5 days and had to do a lot for the first two days.

See? They were all proof that you weren't able to protect me properly," Luciel countered.

"Those are clearly not my fault. You did it with your own initiative, so it doesn't count," Treyton denied.

"It's still your fault. I used my daggers, which means that you are being incompetent."

"Hey, being incompetent is too much. Don't worry, I will be strong enough to be able to take care of you properly," Treyton said.

"Yeah, train more so that you can get stronger faster," Luciel said in agreement.

Treyton needed to be strong enough so that he could continue to live leisurely.

After they finished eating, they didn't travel immediately but still rested, waiting for the temperature to decrease a bit.

To be specific, he was the only one who was resting while the others were all doing something.

The kids were exercising, while those with superpowers were training their abilities. Nina and the others without superpowers were busy doing chores and preparing for something they might need later on. Even Ava was still being made to exercise with the kids. So, he was the only one who was actually resting.

They only resumed traveling after the temperature decreased a little. They hadn't traveled that far, so Luceil was still sitting on the sofa, leaning on Treyton.

He was still reading comics while Treyton was practicing his metal powers. But they were disturbed by Wes.

"Sir, it seems that there is some trouble; a lot of birds are flying out of the forest ahead," Wes said.

"Let Derek check it out," Treyton said.

"Sir, Derek said there's a big forest fire ahead," Wes said.
