Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

Xie Wei looked at the magic-suppressing chain in his hand. He felt as if he was imprisoned by this thing. He could not hear what Sal was saying, nor could he feel the unbearable discomfort in his body.

He kept asking himself, was he wrong? Did he do something wrong?

He shouldn't have run away, shouldn't have saved Gesan out of weakness, shouldn't have relied too much on the system, and shouldn't have looked back.

Why did he turn back? Why did he use up all his points? Why did he think he could rely on the system map to avoid being affected by the fog? Why did he think he could find magic plants in the fog to exchange for new points?

Why does he think things are so simple? Why is he so idealistic?

He only learned some information about the Misty Forest from Thrall, and then he felt that with the help of the system and his own weak magic power, he could pass through the Misty Forest and gain the so-called freedom he wanted.

He couldn't even save himself, but he still wanted to save others.

It seemed that what Sal said was not wrong. He gave him a lot, but he was still not satisfied and wanted more.

He himself was too greedy and pretentious, he himself was too naive and arrogant.

Although he had no family in his previous life, he never worried about money.

In this life, he has been imprisoned since birth, abused and used as a tool, but he has a new life and he is still alive.

After marrying Sal, Sal treated him very well, better than anyone else.

He should be content, he shouldn't run away.

He did something wrong, was he wrong?

"Xiavi...Xiavi...Little Rose...Your Highness..."

Xie Wei heard someone talking in his ear, as if calling him, but it wasn't him.

His name is Xie Wei, not Shiyavi, not Little Rose, nor Little Prince.

Sal found that his little Rose seemed to be frightened by him. He hugged the person with lifeless eyes, as if she had lost her soul, and tried to comfort her in panic.

But no matter how he called or coaxed, the boy in his arms did not respond at all.

He just wanted to teach his wayward partner a little lesson, he didn't really want to lock him up here, he was just trying to scare him.

His little rose is very smart. Give him two choices. Although neither of them may be what he likes, he will definitely choose the option that makes him more comfortable.

He just wanted Little Rose to choose between this secret room and the greenhouse on the top floor. He didn't think he would scare her like this.

After they found Little Rose on the outskirts of the Misty Forest, he and his subordinates first brought Little Rose and Gesan back to the castle, but then let Ryan explore alone along the traces left by Little Rose.

Ryan came back and told him that Shiavi entered the Misty Forest on the night he left the castle, and had been walking alone in the Misty Forest. It seemed that he was planning to leave the Far North Territory from the Misty Forest.

But Little Rose later met the injured Gesang, and in order to send Gesang out of the misty forest, she used up something that had been protecting him.

Sal didn't know what allowed Little Rose to stay in the Misty Forest for so long without wearing a full set of cold-proof gear.

It could be some ancient technology, a treasure in the ruins, or some other cold-proof item or potion.

But he was certain that these things would have allowed his partner to keep himself safe.

If he had not met Gesan, Xiyavi might really have been able to leave the Far North Territory with these things.

Sal couldn't understand or appreciate Shevi's behavior. He felt that in that situation, Little Rose should prioritize her own safety.

Maybe this is too cruel for Gesan, but he doesn't want Xiaomeigui to do such a thing. He just wants his partner to live safely and healthily.

But the little Rose who did such a silly thing made him very fond of her and felt soft-hearted.

Sal was unable to soothe his terrified partner, who fell unconscious in his arms.

In his dream, Xie Wei looked at his own small palm and the inexplicably familiar small room. He wrapped himself in a thin quilt, covered his ears and closed his eyes.

He hid himself in a small fortress made of quilts, intending to escape like this.

He couldn't remember anything. He didn't know who he was or why he was here. He only knew that he was safe under the quilt. He didn't want to go out. He wanted to stay here forever.

Since that day, Sal has never been able to wake up Xie Wei again. Little Rose is like a sleepy child, with her eyes tightly closed, and she is unwilling to wake up.

Sal took Shevi out of the secret room. He thought Shevi was afraid of being locked up there by him, but after returning to the bedroom on the top floor, Little Rose was still unconscious.

After examining Little Rose, the doctor and the magicians in the castle said that Shiavi's drowsiness was not caused by physical discomfort, but they could not explain the specific reason.

The only thing that is certain is that if he cannot be awakened, Shiavi's frail body will not be able to sustain his coma for too long. Once the limit of the body's endurance is exceeded, Little Rose will sleep forever.

"Sal, your partner has trapped himself in a dream and he doesn't want to come back. What did you do to him?" High Priestess Lida retracted her hand, and the blue magic element dissipated in her palm.

Because there was really no other way, and the subordinates who had been asked to invite the owner of the Rift Valley Inn to come to Good City had not returned yet, Thrall had no choice but to go to the temple to invite the high priest down.

The high priestess' eyes were covered by a ribbon. Her expression and tone were very serious. Before Thrall could answer, she continued, "Everyone has taboos that cannot be touched. The human heart is very fragile, Thrall."

Sal looked at his extremely thin partner on the bed and recounted the whole story in a hoarse voice. He did not hide the fact that the high priest Shevi had escaped.

After learning the whole story, Lida sighed softly and said:

"He didn't flee back to the Empire, but fled into the Misty Forest, which means he had nowhere to go. Thrall, have you ever thought about why a child like him was sent to the Far North Territory, and why he hid his magical talent?"

Lida took Shevi's hand, then groped for Sal's hand and overlapped their hands.

"The Imperial Family is far more complicated than we know. His life there may not be as good as you think. Some knots in the heart cannot be touched repeatedly, which will make the person concerned have an escapist mentality. When he finds that he can't untie the knot, he will choose to give up. It's not that Shiyavi doesn't want to wake up, he has given up. He gave up on himself and the world. He wants to leave. Sal, he wants to leave forever. Do you understand what I mean?"

“He wanted to leave forever”

These words were like a sharp dagger that pierced Thrall's heart, causing him so much pain that he wanted to curl up his tall body.
