Capítulo 1720: Chapter 898: Sinking or Resistance
Actually, upon listening to the song until now, Dorothy felt she quite liked it. The bittersweet routine, although a bit old, is indeed effective, and she really enjoys it.
Hmm, for the first ti in her lonely life, she had a friend, and her artistic pursuit for the first ti found a like-minded audience. These two beautiful things combined ought to be such a dream-like delightful experience.
But…..
It’s really a pity she t the wrong person.
Artie, this bad person, was destined not to be a Savior. Her Heart of the King couldn’t possibly give rise to thoughts of saving others.
So, although Artie was a good friend, a good listener, she really wasn’t a good person. She was truly scum.
To the Devil Girl, Venus was rely a toy she liked, but to Venus, this singular friend was nearly her entire world outside of art.
From the very start, the relationship between the two was unequal. It’s often said the person who falls in love first loses, so from the beginning, the Charm Witch lost thoroughly.
The more you care about soone, the more you fear losing them. You beco increasingly anxious and unknowingly turn more humble.
Venus clearly exhibited such signs.
Originally accustod to loneliness, she suddenly had a friend and began to fear losing them. She started focusing more and more on Artie’s every move, feeling extrely uncomfortable whenever Artie got close to others.
She began to long for Artie to always be by her side, but she didn’t know how to achieve this. Because of this, she even developed quite a few extre thoughts, though she ultimately managed to suppress them.
The true fatal blow to the anxious and humble Venus ca when she unexpectedly discovered Artie’s real strength and Talent.
Hmm, in Venus’s imagination, she was a person on the fringes with no special Talent, and Artie was also a despised, diocre witch. The two were equally matched, perfectly suited. No one despised the other, and when they grew up and left the Lamb Institute, they could sohow get by together.
This was the future she dread of.
However, one day, the Charm Witch’s dream was shattered.
That day, she had just written a new piece and was excitedly wanting to share it with her good friend. It was a surprise attack, so she directly stumbled upon Artie’s secret.
From that ti, Venus understood that the clown was actually herself.
From start to finish, only she was the diocre one, while Artie, her only friend, was rely pretending to be weak.
So, the scene she dread of, the two growing up and living together, naturally wouldn’t happen. Artie was destined to soar in the skies while she remained humble in the dust, with the distance only increasing as they grew.
How could soone like her possibly deserve to stand by Artie’s side?
From that point on, there was a deplorable thick wall between them.
Even though they remained good friends, often gathering in the secret base, everything seed as it was before, but it could never return to the past.
And indeed, when they both grew up, both left the orphanage, Artie quickly moved out, even though the Devil Girl rarely extended an invitation to Venus, saying she could stay with her if she had nowhere else to go.
But Venus refused. She found a job as an instrunt repairer at the Opera House and began to support herself.
Hmm, she wanted to preserve her last shred of dignity.
…….
It’s quite a tragic, regretful, and embarrassing story.
Naturally, that piano piece was also full of regrets, remorse, pain, and other negative emotions.
This desperate tune, although quite good artistically, might even resonate with many, because whose youth is without regrets?
But Dorothy does not like such painful art. She acknowledges the Future Queen’s artistic achievents but truly dislikes her weakness and cowardice.
“So, did you really just give up, just so willingly give up?”
Dorothy looked sharply at the Charm Witch in front of her, her gaze akin to a dagger, and this inquiry tore open the purple-haired girl’s heart, exposing all her hidden thoughts.
And beside them, Artie, seeing the teacher and her best friend so confrontational, for once did not shy away from watching the drama.
She really hadn’t listened to Venus’s music for a long ti. This was the first ti since leaving the orphanage, and although only half a year had passed since the two left the Lamb Institute, the despair in her best friend’s lody had qualitatively changed compared to before.
Hmm, it was already at the point that with just a light push from her, her good friend would completely collapse and darken into magic.
This was actually the result she wanted from the start. When she first heard Venus’s music one night, she thought this person had a great Talent for succumbing to magic, and she could beco a good tool in her hands if used well.
It’s just….
Sigh, the Devil Girl still hadn’t been completely consud by the Power of Original Sin within the Soul of the Demon King. The redemption from her dream teacher preserved her last bit of humanity, and having humanity naturally leads to the birth of emotions.
In Artie’s view, Venus was very much like her, so alike it felt like looking in a mirror.
