Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

There is an inn and two hotels in the city of Gute. The inn is generally used for accommodation of foreign envoys, while the inn was originally prepared for merchants, adventurers, bounty hunters, and ruins exploration scholars.

However, due to deep-rooted prejudice, except for people from various chambers of commerce, most people will not enter Goode City to rest. They are more likely to choose to find a safe place to stay with others and then stay there for a short period of time.

At the end of the first month of spring every year, many adventurers would enter the Tajiyama Snowfield, and then leave one after another in the middle of the fifth month of spring. Over time, four fixed settlements were formed in several places.

The Lord of the Snowfield left Goode City with his subordinates at around seven o'clock. After inspecting the forbidden area, he headed for the settlement of the fugitives from Hutt Island. At that time, Imperial Rose, who was far away in the castle, had just finished breakfast.

After breakfast, Xie Wei met his temporary guard, Sir Nico. In Xie Wei's opinion, Sir Nico was a very shy person.

Sal seemed to have told him in the morning that Lord Nico had a bad temper.

Looking at the shy and handsome magician in front of him, Xie Wei was a little confused, but it was also possible that he had heard it wrong while he was half asleep and half awake.

Nico is about 1.9 meters tall. Compared with the Paraso warriors, the combat magicians seem a little thin.

But Nico was thin and skinny among the Parasau people, so Xie Wei still looked a little petite when standing in front of him.

Xie Wei, who goes to the newly drawn height line to measure himself every day, is very envious of Nico's height and body shape.

It would be difficult for him to reach Thrall's body shape in his lifetime, but with Lord Nico's height, he might still have a chance! Although people in this world become adults at the age of 18, they continue to grow until the age of 25.

Thrall said that if he ate more food and drank more nutritional potions and tonic soups, he would definitely grow taller.

Because she wanted to grow taller and stronger, Imperial Rose blindly believed her partner's white lies and set herself an almost impossible goal.

What Sal calls development is actually only limited to the Parasau people. The Parasau people are still in the growth period before the age of 25, but for most short-lived races, growth basically stops at around the age of 22.

People like Xie Wei, who lacked nutritional supplements in childhood, lived in an unhealthy environment all year round, and have poor physical fitness, will basically stop growing around the age of 20.

After discovering that Shevi lacked a lot of common sense, Sal taught him basic common sense while modifying it according to the situation. For example, regarding the growth period, he explained it to Shevi according to the common sense of the Parasau people.

I use this to keep Xie Wei hooked every day, forcing him to eat his meals obediently, drink nutritional potions that have a hard-to-describe taste, and drink tonic soups that he doesn't like.

Thrall has already made up his mind that if Little Rose still doesn't grow taller in the next two years, he will put the blame on the Empire and make it all count.

When Nico saw Xie Wei, although he didn't show it on his face, he was actually very surprised inside.

On the day when Imperial Rose first arrived at Naya Castle, he only saw her from afar at the banquet. At that time, even with her veil on, one could tell that this princess was a beauty. Now, after seeing her without the veil, Nico calmly put his hands behind his back and rubbed the sweat from his palms on his clothes.

He had never been attacked by such extreme beauty at such a close distance, and he was so nervous that he was almost speechless. In order not to expose his nervousness, Nico chose to speak less and nod more.

So after Xie Wei chatted with Nico for a few words, he found that the other party didn't talk much. But when he asked Gesan and others about some things later, Sir Nico would listen carefully and occasionally nod in response.

He came to a conclusion: Lord Nico is a very shy person. Although he is not good at communicating with others, he is very good at listening.

When Gesan and Toya heard His Highness Shiyavi praising "Sir Nico is really a shy and gentle person", they looked at His Highness Nico and then at His Highness Shiyavi. They wanted to say something but stopped, and finally gave up.

Lord Nico's temper is obvious to all, but in front of His Highness Shiyavi... it is indeed as His Highness Shiyavi said, his emotions are very stable.

Because in Xie Wei's opinion, Nico is very emotionally stable.

When they left the castle hall and walked towards the backyard, Puka and Lord Ryan's monster Persevo jumped out from somewhere.

Before he could react, Lord Nico quickly stepped forward, took out his staff and cast a protective spell on him. Then he was splashed with water on his head and face by two magical beasts who seemed to have just finished taking a bath.

But the other party was not angry at all. He just calmly took the towel handed to him by Gesan and wiped his face, then stood behind him silently.

Gesan and the others were a few steps behind with their things, so although they were also affected a little, they were not soaked as thoroughly as Lord Nico.

The size of the Puka, its hair, and the water it threw out made it look no different from rain to Xie Wei.

Thanks to Nico's timely protective magic, Xie Wei was not wet at all.

Looking at Puka with wet hair and Poserov on his head, Xie Wei looked at Nico's wet long hair and coat, and felt a little guilty as if his child had gotten into trouble.

"I'm sorry, Puka is a little naughty. I will teach him a lesson. Sir Nico, please go back and wash up. Gesang and I can go to the church first."

Lord Nico, who looked like a very emotionally stable adult, was actually just autistic. When he realized it, he quickly chanted the spell of protective magic, but he only remembered to protect the Imperial Rose.

He actually forgot to protect himself!

The pretty, delicate and weak little prince, who was sitting in seclusion, suddenly turned around and looked at him guiltily, and whispered to him to go back and wash up, and called him Sir Nico.

Nico felt like he was inexplicably healed…

Sir Nico? What a polite and nice name. None of the little brats under him would call him that.

When you need help, just call him captain; when you don’t need help, just call him Niko Niko.

Nico, the 28-year-old hot-tempered adult, did not jump up and chase Puka with his staff as usual today. He replied in a very mature and steady manner: "It's okay."

Then he cast a cool little fire magic on himself, instantly making himself dry again.

Nico's affinity element is the fire magic element. He has become very skilled at controlling the fire magic element to dry out the moisture in his body.

This magic was developed by him himself. Nico personally found it very simple, but others found it difficult to learn and could easily set their clothes and hair on fire if they were not careful.

Nico would chant in a low voice when using magic, and his speech was very fast, but Shevi was very sensitive to magic runes and the word order of chanting, so he remembered it after just listening once.

In fact, Xie Wei does not need to chant to release magic, but the magician who taught him said that all magic needs to be chanted before it can be released. He never said that he can release magic directly, because in this situation where most people are using the same method to do the same thing, if he is different from others, he will become a heretic.

Even though he didn't know much about the Lar continent, his memories from his past life told him that when safety could not be guaranteed, he should try his best to be the same as others.

Xie Wei's affinity element is the wood magic element. Logically speaking, he should not be good at fire magic, nor has he learned fire magic, but for some reason, he vaguely feels that he should be able to use this magic.

He thought this was a basic magic that all magicians could learn. After all, Lord Nico did it very easily and skillfully. So he also learned to put his hands on Puka, and then whispered the spell that Nico had recited.

When Nico heard Xie Wei singing, he didn't take it seriously at first. He just thought it was a child's imitation. But when he saw Puka's fur suddenly become fluffy.

Nico was dumbfounded.

Wait, something is wrong. Doesn’t this Imperial Rose have no magical talent?
