Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

Sweet, soft, human.

With his fingers curled up slightly, Thrall tried to bite the prey's throat as usual, but he bared his teeth for a long time and finally just licked the opponent's chin lightly.

Warm blood dripped down Sal's cheeks onto Shevi. Holding the boy on top of him tightly with his hands, Shevi called Sal's name over and over again in the Paraso language with a choked voice.

But no matter what he said, Sal didn't respond to him, as if he didn't understand what he said, but he would lick his chin from time to time.

It seemed like she was trying to show goodwill, and also like she was trying to comfort him.

……

Walking out of the Colosseum's gate, Xie Wei stood on the central street of Salona. He looked at the people coming and going, then looked back at the Colosseum behind him.

"Xie Wei, go back, you can't take him away." Dagambi knew it was cruel to say this, but he had to remind Xie Wei.

As a supervisor, as a friend of Elodi, and as the ancestor of the Parasau people, he had to send this child back to the future unharmed at all costs.

It takes more than 40 minutes to walk from the Colosseum to the temporary residence of the Imperial Knights. Halfway through the walk, it suddenly started to rain. At first there were only a few drops, but after a few minutes it turned into a downpour.

The rain hit Shevi's face and wizard robes heavily. Dagambie stretched out his hands to shield Shevi from the rain, but the rain went through his body.

"Sorry, Dagambi, I'm... I'm not very calm now." Xie Wei, with an unusually calm expression and tone, stretched out his hand to embrace the golden soul, and then he used his palm to shield Dagambi and walked back to his residence in the rain.

As royal knights temporarily seconded by the Dragon Wing Knights, Conrad and Elsie could only stay outside the gate when on night duty, instead of guarding His Highness Elias like the knights of the Dragon Wing Knights.

Standing under the porch, Elsie and Conrad did not dare to relax for a moment. When they noticed someone walking towards the inn that had been booked by their knights, they both put their hands on the hilts of their swords at the same time. But after seeing the person coming, they were a little surprised at first, and then they relaxed their vigilance.

Conrad and Elsie didn't know when Shevie went out, but they knew that Shevie woke up two days ago and thought that Shevie went out before their turn. In addition, Shevie gave them a friendly and harmless feeling, so they didn't have too many doubts. However, they didn't open the door immediately to let Shevie into the hotel.

Elsie rang the bell hanging by the door, and Conrad went forward to talk to the black-haired magician.

"Mr. Xie, you are in good health, how can you get wet in the rain? Well, I have to go back and change clothes and take a hot bath." Conrad was obviously not good at stalling, and he didn't know what to say after a few words. When he looked at the black-haired magician's face again, he seemed to see the young version of His Highness Elias.

Thinking it was a hallucination due to not getting enough rest during the night shift, Conrad closed his eyes and relaxed. When he opened his eyes again, the door behind him was pushed open forcefully.

He turned to see who was so irritable, and then he saw the perfect face of His Highness Elias.

Conrad knelt on one knee reflexively and saluted. When he stood up again, His Highness Ilias had already carried the soaked black-haired magician into the inn.

Watching His Highness Elias's back, Conrad asked Elsie uncertainly.

"Did anyone make His Highness angry today? This is the first time I've seen His Highness so angry."

Ilias held Xie Wei's wizard robe in one hand and led him into the inn, then he held Xie Wei's wrist and led him upstairs.

He didn't say a word, but the captain of the guards, Linus, who had watched the whole process, knew it.

Their Highness is now almost mad with rage.

Elias was originally waiting for Xie Wei in the room, while perfecting the "Rose Code" he had formulated. When he heard his subordinates report that Xie Wei had returned, Elias immediately put down the work in his hands and came downstairs to greet Xie Wei.

He was in a good mood until he saw the black-haired magician who was soaking wet and seemed unhappy.

Xie Wei followed Elias back to his room, and was then taken to the bathroom by Elias.

Elias personally helped Xie Wei prepare the bath water and brought his bathrobe to the bathroom. He had a lot of questions to ask Xie Wei, but in the end he just suppressed the inexplicable anger in his heart and carefully coaxed the black-haired magician to take a hot bath.

Captain Linus of the guards had to protect Elias closely, so he stood in the corner and continued to watch the whole process.

Seeing that His Highness Elias had been busy all the time and done many unconventional things since the return of the black-haired young magician, Linus did not understand, but as a subordinate, he would not say much.

After taking a bath, Xie Wei sat on the sofa. Ilias held up the magic hair dryer to help Xie Wei dry his hair. His slender fingers shuttled through the black hair, and the anger that had just surged in his heart gradually subsided.

But he still used the authority of an elder to...carefully coax people.

"You got caught in the rain just when you were feeling well. What if you get sick again? Don't do that next time, okay?"

"Hmm." Xie Wei sniffed. He felt like he had a cold.

After Elias dried Shevi's hair, he sent for a doctor.

After sending the doctor away and watching Xie Wei drink two medicines, Ilias handed Xie Wei the honey water.

"Where did you go?"

Elias asked the question very naturally.

"The Colosseum."

Xie Wei didn't hide it either.

"The Colosseum? Do you like to go there?"

"I don't like it. I hate the Colosseum." When Xie Wei said this, he became emotional.

Elias looked at the young magician who looked like he was about to cry, and he became flustered for some reason.

"Ah, I don't like it. Then... then..." Ilias wanted to ask Xie Wei why he went to the Colosseum if he didn't like it, and why he went there alone at night.

But he intuitively felt that if he asked, the young magician might actually cry.

So he reached out and touched the black-haired magician's hair, comforting him while taking the papers on the table.

"I heard from your teammates that you are also from the Empire. The Empire will gradually close down the Colosseum and prohibit the sale and use of banned drugs. Is the Empire much better than other countries in this regard?"

Following Elias's movements, Xie Wei saw the "Rose Code" spread out on the table, which had not yet been bound.

His originally confused mind suddenly became clear as he looked at the unfinished code.

Xie Wei's Adam's apple rolled up and down, he felt his throat a little dry, and many words came to his lips, but in the end he just nodded silently.

The contents of the Rose Code, which had not yet been completed, should not be known to others, but Elias wanted to show it to Xie Wei.

I don't know why, but I wanted to do it, so I did it.

After explaining for nearly three hours, Ilias' mood became more cheerful as he looked at the black-haired magician with shining eyes.

He vaguely felt that the Rose Code needed the approval of the black-haired magician, which was a very important matter.

After putting all the manuscripts into the box, Elias suddenly said.

"Has it been a long time since you came back to the Empire? The Empire will get better and better in the future, how about coming back to take a look? The Empire is your hometown, you will come back, right?"

Xie Wei's figure was reflected in Elias's lake blue eyes, but the black-haired young magician did not answer Elias's words for a long time.

Back to the empire?

If it was before, Xie Wei would definitely say it without hesitation.

I will never return to the Heisen Empire in this life.

but now.

He wasn't sure anymore.
