Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

After the carriage entered the valley, it stopped at the fence in front of the wooden house. After Xie Wei was led out of the carriage by Sal, he was about to look around when he heard a burst of friendly laughter and scolding.

"Haha! Have you finally remembered poor Ata? Sal! Let me see your partner! I heard from some old guys that she is a rare beauty!"

As the speaker's voice got closer, Sal changed his grip on Shevi's hand to his shoulders, almost half hugging him in his arms.

Sal patted Xie Wei's shoulder soothingly, then led him to meet them.

Gibb had his gray hair tied neatly behind his head. Knowing that Xie Wei was coming today, he shaved his beard clean.

He is 76 years old this year. In fact, the Paraso people of this age are still in their middle prime, but he is really impatient to deal with various affairs, so after the end of the Thrall Trial, he threw the burden on him to Thrall without hesitation and hid back in the valley.

After shaving his beard and putting on new clothes, Gibb looked like a cheerful man in his thirties or forties to Xie Wei.

Xie Wei tapped his left arm naturally with the five fingers of his right hand. At the same time, he stepped back with his right leg, slightly bent his knees and bowed, performing a greeting ceremony for Gibb as an imperial noble.

Gib was a little surprised. Most of the imperial people were very arrogant towards the Parasos. They never performed formal etiquette to the Parasos. Gib did not expect that this distinguished prince would be so approachable. He reacted quickly, clenched his right fist, placed it diagonally on his left chest, and bowed his head slightly in return.

Sal was stunned when Shevi pushed him aside and saluted. It was the first time he saw Little Rose saluting. He had seen other people doing the same thing in the Empire before, but he just felt that his Little Rose did it the most beautifully and elegantly.

After Gib greeted Shevey, he noticed his adopted son's stunned look. He punched Sal in the chest and said with a smile: "Hey, are you stupid? You've been watching for more than three months. Haven't you seen enough and hugged enough?"

Gib spoke in the common language. Xie Wei, who was standing on the side, listened to him and looked at the snow uncomfortably. He was still not used to the openness of the Parasau people in this regard.

After saying this, Gib remembered that Imperial Rose was not from Paraso, and his words might be offensive to her, so he turned to urge Sal, "Take them into the house quickly, and don't blame me if they get frozen."

Sal nodded, took Shevi and walked towards the cabin, while Gib stayed where he was and called out to the guards who followed behind him, leading them to carry the things they brought to the warehouse and cellar behind the cabin.

Sommer was also behind with two monsters. Gibb saw him and shouted, "Go find your sister!"

"Yes, sister!" Sommer replied loudly, then went out again with the two monsters.

Gibb stood there and shook his head. Sommer and Sona were twins. Sona was born a few minutes earlier, but this kid liked to be an older brother since he was a child. He was often beaten by Sona for the question of whether he was an older brother or younger brother.

Because Sona also wants to be a sister, not a younger sister.

I really don’t know what these two children are thinking. Whether they are brothers or sisters, what does it matter? Anyway, they are each other’s closest relatives.

The mother of the two children was his adopted daughter, who died of heavy hemorrhage after giving birth. The two children barely survived, but the adopted daughter's husband died in a red moon when the children were four years old.

He adopted three children in total, the eldest son Mordo, the second daughter Eve, and the third son Sal.

Now all three children have their own partners.

In the past, Eve always laughed at Thrall for having too high standards and said that he was destined to never find a partner in this life. If the child were still alive, he would definitely be happy for Thrall.

Gibb stared at the entrance of the valley for a long time, until the sky became dark and snow began to fall again. He rubbed his eyes and turned back to the house.

The Paraso warriors brought by Sal have set up tents outside the wooden house, and it looks like they are going to stay here for a few days.

The wooden house was not small, with six rooms on two floors. Three of them were for the adopted sons and daughters, and the other two were guest rooms and a study. Later, the guest room was converted into Sommer's bedroom. When Sona and Sommer were young, they had always lived in their mother's room.

Later, when the two children grew up, Sommer moved to the guest room.

The large bedroom on the first floor belongs to Gibb himself. Not only is his bedroom the largest, it also has a floor-to-ceiling window. At the time, a lot of effort was put into getting the transparent glass on this floor-to-ceiling window, but the effect after installation is really good.

There is a small protective magic circle in the valley, so there is no need to worry that the wooden house will be destroyed by monsters during the red moon.

Gibb's bedroom door was not closed. When Xie Wei entered, he saw the floor-to-ceiling window. Looking out of the window was a lake and a small forest beside the lake.

Next to the floor-to-ceiling window, there is a recliner that is out of place in this simple and cozy cabin. This recliner reminds Xie Wei of his own rocking chair in the castle.

It was also exquisitely made, inlaid with various gold, jade and gems, and piled with fluffy and soft pillows, and a fur blanket that looked very soft and warm.

Seeing Xie Wei staring at the recliner, and seeing that Gib had not returned yet, Sal whispered: "Those are the things of Ata's partner. Ata's partner is no longer in the snowfield."

Xie Wei nodded to show that he understood, and then looked away, but he felt that what Sal said was a little strange.

If Jibuata’s partner had passed away, why did he say “no longer in the snowfield”?

However, the explanations of death were not uniform in different places, so Xie Wei did not delve into it too much and was obediently arranged by Sal to sit on the sofa next to the fireplace.

Sal was busy getting him a blanket, hot water, and dried fruit snacks. Shevy had already finished a small dish of pine nuts when Gib entered the room.

Xie Wei is responsible for eating, and Sal is responsible for opening the shells.

The tiny pine nut was between Sal's fingers. The man seemed to be able to effortlessly open the shell while keeping the fruit inside intact.

Gib sat down opposite to Sal, and then said to Shevi who was sitting next to Sal: "Are you used to living in the castle? If you feel uncomfortable, tell Sal. Give him your orders."

The two did not introduce themselves when they greeted each other at the door. Xie Wei was Sal's partner, so it was Sal who should introduce him to Gibb.

But before Sal began the formal introduction, Gibb had already begun to show concern for Shevi.

In his opinion, Xie Wei was too young, and his appearance was so delicate and beautiful that he could not be found on the snowfield. If he sat next to the tall and cold-faced Sal, everyone would be partial to him. He was a little worried that Sal would bully the little prince.

But it's not that Gibb doesn't trust his adopted son's character. It's just that when Imperial Rose took off her cloak and scarf indoors, her fragile neck was covered with bruises and purple marks, and there were also red marks that you could tell at a glance how they were caused.

In front of his adoptive father, Sal was able to restrain his possessiveness and did not wrap Xie Wei up tightly.

He wanted to wait until Sommer and Sona came back and everyone was present before formally introducing Xie Wei.

So the three of them sat in the living room and chatted intermittently. They had eaten two plates of pine nuts when they heard hurried footsteps outside the house.

"Bang!" The wooden door was kicked open with a loud noise, and Sommer rushed in carrying Sona, who was wearing a white hunting suit, on his back.

"Adan! Saranta! My sister...my sister is injured!" Sommer's voice was so anxious that it almost sounded like crying. Now he called Sona sister.

The "Adan" he called out is the unified name used by the Parasau people to refer to grandfathers, grandfathers, and older male elders.
