Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

"…That was probably it. At that time, we had some misunderstandings about each other. I didn't trust him, and he had a domineering personality. Later, after going through some things, we reconciled."

Elias mentioned Thrall, and Xie Wei tried for a long time but couldn't come up with a few lies. He didn't want Elias to misunderstand Thrall and hated Thrall, but he couldn't lie to Elias, so he could only briefly recount some things that happened after he and Thrall got together.

In Xie Wei's current memory, most of the things he can recall are happy and joyful things. In addition, he has been separated from Sarr for such a long time since he came here, and he knows the hardships Sarr suffered when he was young. He misses the adult Sarr more and loves the young Sarr. So he can't help but side with Sarr and say many good things about him.

But Elias not only grasped the key points, but was also not easy to fool. After listening to Xie Wei's story quietly, he reached out to hold Xie Wei's face, lowered his eyes and looked directly into his eyes, and asked seriously and solemnly.

"Did he ever hurt you?"

This was a very simple question, but it made Xie Wei's slightly upturned lips gradually straighten.

……

He held the person in his arms and patted him gently in panic. Elias Lake's blue eyes were full of regret, and his heart felt very uncomfortable, as if it was full of sharp thorns and filled with burning coals.

His mood was so complicated that it was hard to describe, with extreme anger mixed with deep helplessness.

At this moment, Elias hated the fact that he was not the little magician's real elder. He had neither the reason nor the qualifications to teach a lesson or warn the partner who had hurt the little magician.

What made him even more upset was that the little magician was extremely attached to his partner. Because he loved each other, he could choose to forget the harm and pain that the other person had brought to him.

If the little magician was his and Florence's child, his heart would be broken.

He will also break anyone who hurts his children.

Linus, who was standing in the distance guarding Ilias, didn't know why Shevi suddenly cried, but he keenly sensed the murderous intent emanating from Ilias.

With their fingers on the hilts of their swords, the knights looked around warily, and then they all spoke in low voices in surprise.

"No assassin was found."

"I didn't notice it either."

"What is this, Your Highness?"

"do not know."

"Mr. Xie is crying."

"Maybe he is reluctant to let Your Highness leave."

"If you are reluctant to let Your Highness leave, then why don't you come back to the empire with us? He is a member of the royal family and a young and capable magician. Even if he wants to become a court magician, it probably won't be difficult."

"As young people, I guess they still want to explore more and see more."

"But then again, Your Highness is a little too close to Mr. Xie. Don't you think that when they stand together, they look like father and son?"

"I've been wanting to say this for a long time. Your Highness is simply taking care of Mr. Xie as if he were Little Prince Egbert."

"Come to think of it, I always couldn't remember Mr. Xie's appearance before, but now I sometimes feel that he and Your Highness are becoming more and more alike."

"No, I didn't see that."

"Really? If you don't believe me, just observe carefully for yourself later..."

……

Xie Wei's emotions came and went quickly. He couldn't control his tears not because he remembered the unpleasantness when he first met Sal, but because Ilias asked him.

"Why did your parents agree to you being together?"

He also said.

"If I were your father, I would never tolerate anyone hurting my baby, not even a hair."

Hearing every word of these loving words, instead of feeling joy, he felt an unfamiliar kind of sadness and pain that made him feel suffocated.

Buried in Ilias's broad, warm and extremely safe embrace, Xie Wei wiped his tears on the fabric on his chest. However, after just two wipes, the man held his chin and lifted up his messy face.

Elias gently wiped Xie Wei's cheek with a silk handkerchief, and then reminded him: "When you return to the empire in the future, bring your partner to meet me. I want to play a few games with him."

Xie Wei, who was lying with her face upturned and a silk scarf on her back, was stunned for a moment after hearing what Ilias said, and then she spoke word by word.

"I will take him back to the Empire."

……

Shevi, who promised Ilias that he would bring Sal back to the empire, took Ilias into the Colosseum an hour later.

Before entering the Colosseum, in order to avoid trouble, Ilias took out a mask from his space ring and put it on.

Xie Wei looked at the mask Ilias was wearing and felt that it looked familiar.

"Why are you staring at me in a daze? Do you like this mask? I bought it in Sunset City many years ago. It's a bit old. If you like it, I can have someone make another one for you based on the same style, okay?"

The mask bought in Sunset City! Xie Wei opened his eyes wide in surprise, how could such a coincidence happen?

He took out the silver-white mask he had bought, held it in front of Ilias for comparison, and then blinked.

"I also bought this mask in Sunset City."

Looking at the mask in Xie Wei's hand, which was newer and had the same material and pattern as his own, Ilias's originally depressed mood improved a lot. He reached out and took the mask to help Xie Wei put it on, then fiddled with Xie Wei's long eyelashes with his fingertips a few times, and then smiled.

"It seems like we are really destined to be together."
