I'm not a sister complex!

It’s hard, the fist is hard!

If she couldn't beat him, Natalia felt that she really wanted to beat up the guy in front of her.

After taking a few deep breaths and calming down her turbulent emotions, Natalia wisely did not discuss the previous question too much, but said directly:

"Although you are indeed capable of protecting Ayesha with your strength, doing so will not do you any good. Instead, it may increase your burden."

"I can't think of a reason for you to do that, so I can't trust you."

Eros raised his eyebrows. Reason? Leaving one of the vessels of the gods before his eyes, isn't this reason enough?

If Ayesha was still in the academy, he could use Ayesha to roughly judge the time of God's descent.

Although it may not be accurate, the one percent probability is enough for him to take a gamble.

For example, if Ayesha was suddenly transferred to other tasks, then he could guess whether the Moon Worship Cult was preparing to hold a divine descent?

Then he could notify his tribesmen in Intiles and run away to avoid the spotlight for a while.

Even if they find out in the end that it wasn't a descent of gods and it was just a misunderstanding, it doesn't matter. They won't lose anything. It's always better to be cautious.

Another point is that he actually wanted to help Ayesha, as he had raised her for such a long time that they had developed feelings for her.

It would be such a pity if she died just because of carrying the divine descent. She was such a lovely girl.

Of course, he would not tell Natalia these reasons directly, so Eros just spread his hands and said in a somewhat exaggerated tone:

"I am Ayesha's father now, right? Don't treat a stepfather as a father. As a father, isn't it normal for me to protect my daughter?"

Natalia: “…”

"Why are you looking at me like that? Isn't what I said true?"

Seeing Natalia staring at him, as if trying to see through him, Eros hummed and said.

Natalia withdrew her gaze. She could not see through the shadow on the face of the person in front of her.

It is impossible to judge whether the other person was telling the truth or a lie by looking at his eyes or changing facial expressions.

It was for this reason that she could not gamble her daughter's safety on the other party's character.

Immediately, she was about to reject the proposal of the remnant of the Dark Night in front of her and was ready to give up this mission.

However, just when she was about to speak, a word from the remnant of the darkness in front of her made her waver again.

"If you don't believe me, I can swear to my ancestor, the Goddess of Night. Although she has passed away, I don't need to explain the binding force of this oath, right?"

Natalia's eyes flickered. This was an oath she made to a great man, and the other party was his descendant.

Unless he wants to tarnish the nobility of his ancestors and tarnish his great bloodline, he will never break this oath.

Will the remnants of the Night tarnish the nobility of their ancestor, the Evil God of Night?

No! These fanatics of the night would rather die than do this.

"What is your purpose in doing this?"

After a long silence, Natalia asked with a trembling voice.

"Didn't I say it? Isn't it natural for a father to protect his daughter?" Eros chuckled and repeated his previous words.

Natalia was silent again, and after a long while she let out a long breath and said:

"Then I'll leave it to you, Ayesha!"

"Don't worry! I will take good care of our daughter." Eros' tone was full of confidence.

When Natalia heard the word "our daughter", she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and a little unnatural.

But she didn't refute, she just turned her face away and didn't look at the remnant of the darkness in front of her.

"Aren't you going to untie them?"

Natalia saw the two people tied up by the shadow tentacles out of the corner of her eye, so she asked.

Eros glanced at the people he had tied up, then at Natalia, and after thinking for a while, he started talking about something completely unrelated:

"I realized that I was the one who took the initiative to kiss you before, but you never took the initiative to kiss me."

Hearing this, Natalia said expressionlessly: "What do you want to say?"

"If you give me a kiss, I will let them go! How about it?" Eros raised the corners of his mouth, with a hint of temptation in his tone.

Natalia silently looked at the remnant of the darkness in front of her. Although she couldn't see his face clearly, she could guess that he must be smiling very hatefully.

After a long moment, Natalia sighed softly, placed her hands on the man's shoulders, raised her face, and stood on tiptoe.

……

After a long while, Natalia took a few steps back. She said with a stern face:

"That's it!"

"Of course~" Eros chuckled and snapped his fingers.

The next second, those shadow tentacles disappeared into thin air, and at the same time, the shadows covering their faces also disappeared.

As soon as Ayesha regained her sight, she immediately ran to Natalia's side, looking at the mysterious remnant of the night opposite with a vigilant look on her face.

Although she had met the other party several times, she never dared to let her guard down against him.

Especially that night, the other party broke into her room in the middle of the night, tied her up with tentacles, and then did some strange things inside her body.

On the other side, Richie and Onig were a little restless and could only look at Natalia.

After all, they knew that after the last incident, Natalia and the guy in front of them seemed to have reached a cooperation.

Natalia received the gazes of her two teammates, so she considered her words and said with a complicated expression:

"He...is now a temporary ally in our mission!"

Eros shrugged and said, "It seems that you are not used to my presence~"

The corners of Richie and Onig's mouths twitched slightly. It wasn't that they were not used to it, but they were very uncomfortable, right?

Of course, they only dared to think about this in their hearts and did not dare to say it out loud.

Natalia glanced at the man in front of her, and her face almost showed "You knew it too".

Eros sighed somewhat frustratedly and said, "Okay! Then I'll leave?"

No one said anything!

Eros: “…”

"Then I'm really leaving?"

Still no one spoke. Seeing this, Eros sighed again, looked unhappy, and disappeared from the spot.

Seeing him disappear, Onig and Richie quickly scanned the surrounding trees.

After finding no human figures, they breathed a sigh of relief, but they still didn't dare to completely let go. After all, the remnants of the Dark Night were difficult to be discovered in the dark.

In fact, they were worrying too much, because Eros really left.

Even though I didn't get to hear any gossip today, as long as Ayesha stays in the academy, there will be plenty of opportunities like this in the future, so why rush?

On the other side, Ayesha saw that the mysterious remnant of the night had left, so she asked her mother again:

"Mom! Do I still need to lurk?"

This time Natalia did not hesitate and nodded directly:

"Don't worry! When necessary... he will protect you. This is one of the conditions for cooperation between him and me."

Hearing this, Aisha looked a little embarrassed, as she was quite resistant to the remnants of the Dark Night.

After hesitating for a while, she told her mother about the time when the dark remnant sneaked into her room, tied her up and did some strange things to her.

Of course, she spoke quietly to her mother, so Richie and Onig on the other side couldn't hear her.

She didn't tell her mother about this when she met her mother a few times before, mainly because she was afraid that her mother would worry, but now she feels that she must speak out about it.

Although the remnant of the Dark Night finally said that he would discuss the matter with his mother, who knows whether what he said is true or false.

Natalia fell silent after hearing this. She looked at her daughter in front of her, who still looked a little worried, with a complicated look in her eyes.

After a while, she touched Ayesha's hair, suppressed the inexplicable emotions in her heart, and whispered to her daughter:

"I know about this. He told me about it."

Aisha was shocked. She didn't expect that what the remnant of the Dark Night said was actually true. He really discussed it with his mother.

Since this sentence is true, then what he said about his mother agreeing to his confession, is that also true?

For no reason, Ayesha felt a little scared, afraid that what she said was true.

What she didn't know was that while her little mind was wandering, her mother was looking at her with pain in her eyes.

"Ayesha, he said you are the goddess's abandoned child. Does the goddess really treat you as an abandoned child..." Natalia murmured in her heart.

She raised her face and closed her eyes, as if she didn't want her daughter to notice her loss of composure.
