Chapter 21: Ellie Becomes Daddy's Right Hand
"Hiss"
Cynlos gasped, he looked helplessly at the towel in his hand, just trying to wipe his back. But this usually simple action has now become incredibly difficult.
The anger at that time certainly helped him unusually much, and even caused him to kill a strong Norman with less than half the strength of his opponent. But the price is too great, on the neck, on the chest, in the right hand with three scars and not to talk about him. Even in other places that were not injured by the Normans, there were extensive muscle strains.
Anger is powerful, but it's also too heavy on the body.
"Is this the power of the seven deadly sins?" Sinloth sighed and glanced at "Pride" in the attribute bar. "But don't become arrogant, just temporary anger almost made me kneel, let alone permanent arrogance"
The so-called seven deadly sins represent the most persistent desires of human beings themselves. It's not how powerful they are, it's just that they can reach all the potential of humanity itself. Furthermore, anger is not too burdensome on the body, but the contractor's body is too weak. ”
"Shut up."
Just as Xinluo was wiping himself with a tangled face, a cheerful voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Daddy~Daddy~~"
It's Ellie.
It's Ellie!
Startled, Cynroth hurriedly stood up, his mind in a state of confusion once again with his reckless action, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it. Time was pressing, he looked around, there was really nothing to cover, and he couldn't think of it, so he had to put a towel around his crotch to cover his shame.
"Daddy~" The cute blonde cherub cheered and threw herself into Daddy's arms.
As a father, in the face of his daughter's happy hug, even if the tears of pain are about to flow out, he must not back down. Xinluos, who had already come to his senses, bravely opened his hands to meet his daughter's flutter.
"Hiss"
Even if there is a ball of light that mobilizes energy to help recover from the injury, it still hurts.
Xinluo endured the pain, caressed his daughter's blonde hair lovingly, and complained in a low voice: "Ellie, if you want to be a qualified lady, you can't be like this, why are you always so reckless." ”
"Eh, hey, hey" Ellie looked a little embarrassed, but still said: "Because Ellie wants to see her father, she is so happy every time she sees her father." ”
A trace of guilt flashed in Sinloth's eyes, and he looked at Ellie's happy smile and whispered, "This kid"
Feelings are contagious to each other, and in Ellie's eyes, he is her father, so he has unreserved trust in him. And it is precisely because of this undisguised heart that he will truly pamper this eight-year-old girl as his daughter.
Seeing his bloodied, seriously injured and dying appearance, when he was carried into the castle, he must have also seen it by this child, right? She's going to be sad, right? Maybe hide under the covers and cry secretly?
However, she didn't say anything to her. Her uneasiness, her worries, her sadness.
What a good boy.
"That's right!" Ellie, who was squinting her eyes and enjoying her father's gentle touch, didn't know what she remembered. Suddenly turned around and ran out of the bathroom.
What's wrong?
However, Cinnos's doubts did not last long, and soon, Ellie ran back with a wooden basin in her arms. The little girl carried the wooden basin with both hands, and her little face turned red. Seeing this, Xinluo hurriedly took the wooden basin in her hand.
There was a towel in the tub, as well as Ellie's trousers.
Seeing her father's doubts, Ellie explained with a twisted expression: "Aunt Jenny said that Dad's right hand is injured and it is inconvenient to take a bath alone. Ellie is a good boy, so Ellie came to help her dad take a bath. ”
Seeing her father's somewhat strange eyes, Ellie raised her head slightly, and her lovely face continued to glow with the aura of "Come and praise me, come and praise me".
"Ah, Ellie, what a good boy"
If the father and daughter take a bath together, it should be nothing
[Poor bachelor, helpless to stay alone in the bathroom and take a bath. But even if it is such a simple job, you are not able to complete it when you are recovering from a serious illness. But fate is on your side, and when your lovely daughter hears the cook's words, she instantly decides to run to help her father. You feel that there is nothing happier than this moment. The ancients said: The daughter is the father's close-fitting little padded jacket. In the past, you still scoffed at it, but now you finally understand that the ancients did not deceive me. Your heart starts to cheer, but as an adult, you think more than your young daughter. 】
[1. Bathing with a daughter is a sacred and inalienable right given to every father by the Lord Almighty. The all-knowing and all-powerful Lord is watching me, although Ellie is eight years old, but it's normal for girls to be spoiled. Even God would agree with me. 】
[2. A real lady should not do such a thing that is degrading to the dignity of the aristocracy, even if there has been a rumor among those untouchables that your circle is very chaotic, but how can the words of those untouchables be taken seriously. As a man with ambition in his heart, you decide to reprimand your daughter harshly and teach her the true way of a lady. 】
Cold sweat slid silently down Sinloth's smooth forehead.
The two voices quarreled loudly in the back of Sinloth's heart.
An angelic voice, full of serenity and serenity, said: "Children are innocent, they are innocent and innocent, they follow their own ideas. It's a pity that as an elder, you have to give them the reality of this world. But even so, you can use a gentle way. Touch her head and tell her that it's wrong. Trust your children, they are so innocent and beautiful. ”
A demonic voice full of lust and madness said, "You actually like to take a bath with Ellie, don't you?" So why refuse? Why go against your own heart? How can a man who can't even look directly at his own desires be a hero who stands up to the sky? ”
It makes so much sense on both sides that Sinlos was speechless for a while. He looked at the first option, and then at the second. I think both of them are reasonable, but for a while, it is really difficult to make a decision.
Ellie saw her father's stunned, but unnoticed, disapproval, and a bright smile bloomed on her face. She smiled and took off her little dress, revealing the girl's immature and youthful body.
"Wait, wait, Ellie" Xinluo subconsciously wanted to stop it, but it was too late. Ellie, who had already taken off her clothes, tilted her head and looked at her father; "What's wrong, Dad?"
"Alas"
"Hahaha"
With Ellie's words, the two voices in Xinluos's heart also disappeared without a trace. And the option in front of Xinlos is also locked in the first item. That option emitted a glorious light that only Sinloth could see, and Sinloth burst into tears. Then, as if enough of the bloom had been filled, the option turned into a golden light and disappeared into Sinloth's body, never to be seen again.
No matter what, I can't go back
"Dad, what's wrong?" Looking at Xinluos, who suddenly cried silently, Ellie suddenly felt a little blocked in her heart. She lowered her head and said listlessly: "Daddy doesn't like to wash with Ellie, does Dad hate Ellie, it's been from the beginning"
Sinlos's tears turned from a shallow stream to a vast sea in an instant, and boundless tears welled up from Cynlos's eyes. "If only I had to bear the pain!" Stupid dad cried in his heart and shouted loudly: "Daddy, I like Ellie the most!" ”
"Eh, eh, eh, ?!!" Facing her father's sudden embrace, the darkness in Ellie's heart instantly dissipated. She exclaimed, looking at her father at a loss: "Eh, dad is really, why did you suddenly say this"
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place. Mother far away on Earth, I'm sorry for you
"Hey~ Dad, are you comfortable?" The little girl, holding a towel and wiping her father's back, struggled to wipe. There was a hint of anticipation on her lovely face, as if she was waiting for her father's praise.
"Well, Ellie is so good, she will definitely be a popular lady in the future." Sinloth smiled softly, and he smiled heartily as he turned his back to his daughter.
"Lady or something" The girl's face was red and a little shy: "Dad is really, he always likes to say strange things." ”
"Haha, my bad, my bad."
The girl is only eight years old, even if she has worked very hard. But the natural strength is there, and it doesn't shift with her will. Even if it is a waste wood body like Xinluos, such a strength, it is just a breeze blowing on the face. However, the heart contained in it, Xinlos did feel it.
Ellie, what a good girl, what the hell is Isabelle thinking
After a while, Cinnos felt that Ellie behind him was a little panting, so he whispered, "Ellie, don't patronize me, you can wash yourself." ”
"Hmm!" Eager to agree, she put down her towel, cheered, and jumped into the bath in the bathroom.
Desmond Castle has been idle for many years, but the bluestone bathrooms are durable and have withstood the passage of time. Therefore, after a little planning, it can be used normally. As for whether you will freeze to death in such a bathroom in winter, that is not something that should be considered now.
Cynroth rejoiced as he listened to Ellie's laughter in the bath behind him. His efforts were not in vain, if it was to protect such a smile
Sinloth kept his back on his back, never looking back at his daughter's naked green body behind him.
[Listening to the laughter of your daughter behind you, you feel that all your efforts are worth it.] This purest happiness also inadvertently infects you. In this quiet environment, you are enjoying the joy of family, and suddenly some strange thoughts arise. If Ellie washes alone, will I either]
"Shut up, 54213! I'm not you! ”
"Dad, let's wash together~" Just as Cinnos roared at the ball of light in his heart, Ellie's words made his roar freeze on his face. For a moment, Xinluos's delicate face became extremely strange and hideous, and he bit his cherry lip tightly, and began the battle between heaven and man.
[Your daughter is calling you, as an orthodox father, there is really nothing to hesitate about. However, if you want to take a bath, you still have to divide it into several types.
[1. Watch her wash.] 】
[2. Help her wash.] 】
[3. Wash together.] 】
Sinloth reached into his black hair, and with a gentle stroke, he had already grasped the small ball of light into his hand. But before he could make a move, the words of the ball of light stopped him again.
"This option must be chosen, please be cautious."
"Must be chosen?" This is the first time I've heard such words from the mouth of a ball of light. In Xinluos's eyes, these options of the ball of light are actually more reminders and arrears, just like the knowledge inheritance a few days ago, in fact, if he doesn't choose, he won't say anything.
But this time, it turned out to be a must-choose.
"Yes, Contractor. The bet is always going on, so please choose carefully. ”
"So, does it make a difference between the three options I choose, bastard!"
"Please choose carefully."
Haunting Sinloth's ears was still the cold voice of the ball of light. As much as he always did, Cynroth knew that this time he was serious, and that he had to make a choice, and he couldn't fool around like he had done before.
However, what is the meaning behind these three options? Xinluos's mind was complicated, and he actually entered into deep thought for a while.
Seeing that her father's body was a little stiff, Ellie poked her head out of her back curiously and asked carefully, "Dad, what's wrong?" ”
Xinluo smiled gently, stretched out his left hand and wanted to touch her daughter's head, but Ellie seemed to be a little shy, holding her little head and hiding, but she refused to let her father get her wish. Seeing this, Sinloth didn't care, but asked, "Ellie, why did you think of helping me take a bath?" ”
Seeing her father asking, Aili also straightened up and made a little adult expression: "Dad used to help Aili take a bath." Now that Dad's right hand is injured, it must be painful, right? Then it was Ellie's turn to help her father wash, and from now on, Ellie would be her father's right hand. ”
Looking at his cheap daughter's serious look, words that didn't seem to be fake, Xinluo took a deep breath. If you have a woman like this, what more can a husband ask for?
Sinloth smiled, looked at the option in front of him, and silently chose the second one.
I don't live up to me, and I don't live up to me.
[You don't know what the road ahead is, but for the sake of your daughter, you still bravely took the first step. It may be a bumpy road, but you will never regret your choice today. 】
[Remove Ellie's attribute bar and expand Education Mode.] The gears of fate turn here. 】
