Able to touch the cloud

--------------------------------

"Today's weather is really nice..."

Seleustin looked out the window at the blue sky, closed the diary in her hand, opened the drawer and placed it neatly in the innermost position.

"Can I go for a walk?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a tall man hugged her from behind and placed an ambiguous kiss on her earlobe.

“Furafur, of course.”

Selustine did not look back at him, nor did she pay attention to the kiss with other thoughts. She just continued to look at the blue sky, smiling without saying a word.

A sudden pain hit her, causing her to frown.

"You can go anywhere you want"

Doflamingo licked the blood on his lips and answered her in a low voice.

anywhere?

The smile did not reach the bottom of the eyes, but the curvature of the corners of the mouth was still beautiful.

"That's really great."

"Dover..."

This is the fifth day since Seleustine came to Dressrosa. I have to say that this country does deserve its title.

——The land of toys of love and passion

Selustine was walking on the street, looking in a very good mood. Her delicate appearance, blessed by her charming smile, attracted the attention of people on the street. They couldn't help but stop for her, admiring her side under the sun. Shining golden hair

In the corner, a small figure was leaning against the wall, his eyes locked on her body.

Selustine smiled and waved to the doll on the street, and suddenly felt a slight force pulling her.

It was a little girl who looked to be about five or six years old. She was timidly looking up at herself and tugging on her long skirt.

"Beautiful sister"

Her soft voice made Selustine soften her eyebrows and squat down to touch her little head.

"what happened?"

The little girl lowered her head, and Seleustin couldn't see her eyes clearly under her bangs. She could only see her slightly pursed lips.

"That, that..."

She tilted her head, but the little girl suddenly took her hand and walked in a certain direction without saying a word.

Selustine staggered due to her pull. He bent down and tried his best to accommodate her small steps. The curvature of the corners of his mouth did not change at all, allowing her to lead him to an unknown place.

After crossing the long street, the two of them were getting further and further away from the royal city. In front of them was a lush forest.

The little girl stopped when she saw this tall green tree, looked up at her, her eyes were a little dodgey

Selustine looked around and found nothing unusual. She squinted her eyes and bent down to gently rub the hair of the child in front of her. She was not in a hurry to ask her why she brought her here.

"Meow~"

With a soft sound, Selustine stood up and looked at the dense canopy of trees around her.

Like the weak cry of a kitten

She followed the direction of the sound and finally saw a gray-white kitten on a high branch.

Selustine let go of the little girl's hand, jumped lightly onto the tree trunk next to her, and used her strength to get closer to the trembling kitten.

"Shh, don't be afraid"

The fur on the kitten's back exploded, and the big cat eyes were full of helplessness and panic. Selustine noticed that there seemed to be a little blood oozing out of its left front leg, probably because it was injured.

She cautiously took a step forward. The branch under her feet shook unbearably and was about to break.

Seleustin picked up the cat very quickly, flew away before the roots of the branches were completely broken, and returned to the ground.

The little girl stood there blankly and took the kitten handed over by Seleustin.

It was still trembling, but it never showed its claws to hurt anyone. It looked so pitiful as a small gray ball huddled in its arms. The wound on its left forefoot was not big, but the blood on its red hair made people feel very distressed.

It's really terrible, Seleustin just can't get enough of this soft and furry little cutie.

She leaned over and rubbed the little tuft of hair, and kissed it lovingly on its little forehead.

"It is injured. At this time, we must guard it every step of the way."

"After all, it's just you, right?"

The little girl and the cat in her arms both raised their heads and looked at her, with two pairs of big, wet eyes that were soft and innocent, which made Seleustin's heart melt.

The girl nodded vigorously, hugged the cat and left.

Selustine waved her hand behind her, smiling beautifully and naturally. Her lips were slightly opened as if she said something, but no one heard her clearly.

She was taking steps to return to the town, but suddenly a bright color caught her eye, making her stop.

It was a golden flower, lying alone under the tree not far away

The smile on Seleustine's lips did not change. She slowly approached the extremely gorgeous golden color and bent down to pick it up.

She had seen this flower before. She had seen this sweet and delicate flower on Canava Island and in her dreams.

She closed her eyes and moved closer to the stamens of the golden rose. What greeted her was the faint sweet fragrance.

It tastes exactly like the dream

Opening his eyes again, Seleustin turned the flower stem playfully and looked at it.

Why is the center of this flower red?

It's quite beautiful

Putting the blooming golden rose to her ear, Selustine straightened her skirt and walked slowly towards the way she came from.

The wind in Dressrosa carries a warm temperature, and it seems to also carry the words she just murmured to herself while looking at the back of the little girl.

"Hey, I asked you to bring me here."

"a……"

Katakuri stood out behind her, a pair of amaranth eyes staring closely at her back, as if thinking about something.

Injured... not leaving even an inch...

only her

He looked down at his palms, and half of his face hidden under the scarf seemed to be smiling.

Looking at the figure that was about to disappear from sight, Katakuri thought of a brilliant idea

Seleustin had no memory of those events, and he knew it clearly

So how to make her let down her guard and acquiesce in his approach has become the most important issue at the moment.

He could have just brought the person back to the Ten Thousand Kingdoms, but now the marriage issue is in the spotlight, and Gaji's son has not been found. He cannot expose Seleustin's existence to his mother so early.

That is tantamount to causing trouble for yourself

More importantly...

Katakuri didn't want to see resistance to him appear on that face that once had such a delicate smile.

She will be his bride, and she will only look at him with admiration and longing.

Katakuri hopes to see such a scene in the future, and the "first encounter" between the two is now very important.

However, as expected, Seleustin is still the same Seleustin

There seemed to be nostalgia in his eyes, and when he looked over again, it seemed like it was just an illusion.

Especially when she tucks that flower to her ear

Same as before, never changed

Selustine was walking on the street, and when he looked up, he saw a person who shouldn't be here.

He put his pockets in and wore the feather coat as usual. He noticed her gaze and waved.

The smile on my lips remains

Selustine approached him, raised the corners of her lips and held up the hem of her skirt to salute him. The golden rose hanging between her ears made people see it more clearly.

"What a coincidence, Dover, you are also here...shopping?"

Indeed, what a coincidence

Doflamingo smiled without saying a word, raised his hand to stroke the long hair on her collarbone, and slowly approached her ear with his fingertips, and took out the swaying flower.

"Fufurfurfurfurfur"

"What if I said, I'm here to pick you up?"

Selustine grabbed his hand, and the two of them held the beautiful golden rose together. With the faint sweet fragrance lingering on the tip of their noses and the sky gradually turning to golden red, they felt indescribable warmth and tranquility.

It's a pity that no matter how beautiful it is, it's just an appearance.

"Eh~ That's it..."

Seleustin came closer to his arms, and Doflamingo opened his arms to wrap around her waist, but no one let go of the golden flower.

She raised her head and looked directly into his eyes, and suddenly smiled charmingly, like a fairy who wanted to confuse people's minds.

“This is a really good country, full of enthusiasm”

She hooked her fingers, signaling Doflamingo to lean down.

The red lips parted slightly, and a soft whisper fell on the tip of my heart.

"There is still love"

Doflamingo smiled openly, looked at the person in his arms, and leaned close to the tip of her nose as if he wanted to give her a kiss on this long street.

Seleustin suddenly pulled the flower he was holding in his hand.

The beautiful golden petals were scattered all over the floor, except for one, which she held between her fingertips.

"I heard that golden roses can be used to make desserts."

“Want to try it?”

She held the lonely petal in her mouth and welcomed the kiss

The delicate petals, accompanied by the sweet juice, are crushed between the mingling lips and teeth.

The gorgeous golden flower blooms and then withers

Live in their kiss, die in the empty heart

"Very suitable for this country of passion and love"

"What do you say?"

Selustine looked at him, her reddish cheeks and moist lips seemed to be telling her heart full of love and joy.

Doflamingo's eyes hidden behind his sunglasses narrowed in pleasure, and he did not hesitate to give her a hug and a kiss.

But love...

"Fufufufufufu, it's too sweet, Seleu"

He hugged her, and his words seemed to be commenting on the taste of the golden rose petals that the two of them had just swallowed wholeheartedly, and also seemed to be saying that this kiss and this love were extremely sweet.

But Celestine knew that it was neither

Too naive...?

Hugging his waist, Seleustine retracted herself into his pink feather coat. The look on her face was indescribably fragile and sentimental.

"Well, it's a little... too sweet."

They are not lovers, not friends, not even strangers who meet by chance.

But they can still exchange a tender kiss on the street at dusk

Just like Doflamingo imprisoned her in the castle in the morning, not allowing her to go anywhere, and held her in his arms at night, using the clouds to set foot in the sky to admire the bright moon.

There is no love between them, only the desire to be close driven by loneliness

Doflamingo doesn't need the emotion called "love" either, just as Seleustine clearly knows that this man cannot give her what she really wants.

So she stopped trying to identify the relationship between the two. It was doomed to be futile.

He has ambitions that can burn everything, and she is destined to leave this peace that is whitewashed by falsehoods.

He understands, and so does she

"Dover, let's go back."

Seleustine opened his arms and was picked up by him obediently. The two of them soared into the sky with Doflamingo's ability.

Looking at the layers of white clouds in front of him, Selustine leaned against his heart, listened to the steady and powerful heartbeat, and slowly closed his eyes.

This look made Doflamingo pause, and his thin lips formed a cool curve.

"Fufufu, why don't you watch the clouds today?"

no answer

When the two were about to return to the palace, he heard her voice

"No"

"I'm not trying to touch the clouds anymore"

Seleustin's tone was still gentle, but suddenly

pinched his heart

On the first night when Doflamingo locked her in the palace, he held her like this and watched the dreamy scene in the clouds.

At that time, Seleustin would still be slightly distracted by the beautiful scenery, and would unconsciously stretch out her palms, trying to touch the phantom-like clouds with her fingertips.

“Furfurfural…”

"Why are you trying to get close to Yun, Seryu?"

He would always interrupt her just before she was about to succeed. His low voice was as pleasant as the whisper before he kissed her, but like a cold blade, it fell in her ears, causing sharp pain.

Doflamingo's sincerity has not changed at all from beginning to end.

She also heard what he said

Stay away from the clouds in the sky

That's not something you can touch

as he wishes

she gives up
