Guardian Chapter 163: Decisions to Change the Future
Talos had never imagined that the nights had passed so long.
At the same time, for the first time, he felt that waiting for someone and waiting for the result of a thing was such a difficult process.
In the small room, Talos always looked up from time to time to glance at the clock hanging above the door. The drowning stupor, the delay in returning, all these things made him feel impatient.
It's not so much that he's anxious to return to Yeren to inherit the family, it's better that he wants to go back soon, so that he can have better medical conditions for Rin to be treated.
After all, they will definitely not be able to go back to the Yunyin Association now, and I am afraid that it will not be long before they will become wanted criminals.
And this little bit of caution does not need to be said explicitly, presumably the miscanthus also understands it.
These things are just seen through and not said, in the final analysis, as far as Mangni is concerned, as long as he can let Young Master Tal go back to Yeren with him smoothly. Everything that can be paid to get an exchange is not a price.
Talos lightly cleaned Rin's wounds, the blood that had already coagulated, and the fabric of his clothes and the wounds had already been glued together.
Cut it with small scissors, wet it with a hot towel, and clean up the ......
After cleaning up and treating the wound with some basic disinfectant supplies that the house had, Talos's nervous mood was slightly relieved.
During this time, Rin was sometimes hurt by Talos's clumsiness, and let out a moan in a half-asleep state.
Until everything was processed, it was already early in the morning, and it was almost dawn.
Maybe it's because the system of half-demons is different from ordinary people, plus the racial advantage of the Yeren clan. So after the wound was bandaged, Rin looked obviously more comfortable.
Huddled in the warm quilt, even the complexion and body temperature began to gradually recover.
Rin snorted, wondering what kind of dream she had. Or because the burden on the body has been lightened, and I began to sleep presumptuously.
Suddenly, his body flipped over, and he almost rolled off the cramped single bed.
Fortunately, Talos quickly reached out to stop him, allowing Rin to fall into the crook of his arm.
"Don't go ......"
Just as Talos picked her up and was about to put her back on the bed, Rin's hand suddenly grabbed Talos's arm. But because of this, he inadvertently touched the place where he was injured.
Talos frowned, in fact, his injuries were not lighter than Rinrin, after all, breaking the order of the contract was finally not a joke.
He was just silent, and after putting Rin on the bed, he whispered softly, "Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere......"
Talos's voice was soft, gentle, as if he was whispering to a child who was hovering on the edge of a nightmare. I'm afraid of waking her up, and I want to pull her back into her comfort zone.
As if she had heard him, Rin slowly let go of her grip on Talos.
However, before he could cover Rin with a small quilt, Rin turned over again and rolled back into Talos's arms.
Talos was helpless, after all, he knew exactly what his master was sleeping.
At this moment, a piece of paper with dark red corners suddenly fell from the pockets of Rinrin's suspenders, which had already been covered with suspenders.
Talos didn't pay much attention to it when he picked it up from the ground, but it wasn't until he looked through the folded gap in the paper that he saw the edges of the circle drawn in it, and some staccato text, that he realized it instantly.
"Armed Puppet, Contract Dissolution Technique"
There was silence for a while, and Talos suddenly put the blood-stained paper back as if he hadn't seen anything.
He didn't want to delve too deep into the contents of the paper, so let him pretend he didn't know anything, maybe it would make it easier for him.
Talos lowered his eyes, his eyelashes obscuring out the emotions in his eyes.
And for the next period of time, Rin Rin has been sleeping soundly. Perhaps the best treatment is not enough to let those who have been nervous and complicated feel good to sleep.
During this time, Talos just sat quietly on the edge of the bed, from the 'cooing' of the owl at night to the leap of the birds in the morning.
It wasn't until Rin moved her body a little that she suddenly put her arms around Talos and rubbed them, only to feel comfortable.
Half-asleep and half-awake, she only felt as if she hadn't slept so comfortably in a long time.
There was no Talos jumping on his bed to stick to her, no clanging noises, no early morning alarm clocks.
In addition, the body occasionally has some pain from the wound caused by excessive movements.
She tightened the cold pillow in her arms, which was the texture of milk. It's just a little ...... It's a little harder.
Eh, wait a minute! When did you buy a pillow with ice milk?
After a flash of something flashed in his brain, he opened his eyes violently! Sure enough, a face from Talos appeared in front of her. The pair of heterochromatic eyes that seemed to hide the stars were flashing with the light of Buling~Buling looking at themselves.
"Rin, how are you feeling?" Talos looked anxious.
"I'm fine...... Rin Rin's mind didn't react for a while, but only reflexively responded.
"Really?"
Apparently unconvinced, Talos reached out to lift the quilt to see if the wound on Rinrin's body had reopened, or if the wound had swelled.
But before he could make a move, he saw Rin's face turn red.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his hand and said shyly, "Stupidββ! β
It's just that this punch didn't hit Talos, but Talos grabbed his wrist and pulled her a little harder, pulling her closer to his arms.
"I can hold you like this, really, really...... Great......"
Talos buried his head in his hair, the faint smell of soapy water, gentle and familiar. It was the smell he had been obsessed with for a long time since he woke up from his slumber.
Every time he smelled it, Talos felt relieved.
That's why he jumped on the dignified bed every night when he couldn't sleep, and then he still slept next to him in the midst of all kinds of dislike.
It's just that he doesn't dare to hold too hard now, for fear that he will accidentally let her wound open again.
"Talos, you ......"
Rin moved slightly, trying to break free from the eager embrace.
Frankly, she had just woken up and her head was obviously a little confused. She couldn't remember why she was here, or where she was.
It's just that I'm being held by Talos like this, and I'm a little overwhelmed.
However, such an embrace, and a hot and somewhat silly gaze, actually made her feel reassured...... Unprecedented, peace of mind.
"Well, I'm fine."
In the end, Rin didn't say anything, just responded lightly, as if to appease, and reached out to wrap his arms around Talos.
The moment he was touched, Talos trembled visibly. He had expected Rin to push him away like before, and even to say cruel words again to keep him out of the way, far away.
Unexpectedly, Rin Rin hugged herself in response, only for Talos to feel that there seemed to be something in his chest, and he beat violently.
After that, Talos briefly recounted what had happened last night. It's just that he deliberately skipped some things with himself.
It's just that even though he was talking about what happened last night, Rin could imagine what Talos had experienced during her slumber.
What kind of force drove him to forcibly break the bondage of the contract and save himself from the hands of that bastard in the interrogation team.
"So, it was Team Leader Blue who let us go......"
"Hmm." Talos nodded.
Hearing this, Rin Rin couldn't believe his ears, such a persistent team leader Lan actually let go of the two Yeren like this?
Moreover, it also comes with a self?!
Surprised, the silence in the room and the sound of the clock 'ticking, ticking, ticking' clearly reminded the two men that all this was just the beginning.
β¦β¦
"Rin, do you want to go back to Yaren with me?"
After a long silence, Talos sat down like a puppy on the only stool in the room, looking well-behaved, but waiting for a dignified answer in his heart.
"I'm sorry Talos, I might, I can't go with you." Rin almost without thinking, opened her mouth to refuse.
"Well, I guessed it would be like that, too."
There wasn't much disappointment on Talos' face, as he knew how painful it was for Rin to spend the whole day with Yaren.
"Talos, I won't leave with you because once I'm gone, there will be no possibility of peaceful coexistence between the Yeren and the Demon Messenger."
Rin grimaced, and suddenly pinched Talos's cheeks with both hands, forcing him to look at him.
"Do you remember what you said before?"
"Hmm...... Hmm......" Talos pinched his face, unable to speak, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
"If you remember, and really have the heart to let the Demon Envoy and the Nightren live in peace from now on. Then the first thing we have to do is to go our separate ways! β
With that, Rin looked at the sky outside the window.
According to Talos, tonight he will bring someone over, quietly move his hands and feet in the weakest part of the border barrier of Twilight, and then take him away.
"After tonight, you go back with Mangni, and go to inherit your family as he said, trying to convince the Senate. And I will return to Yunyin and convince Uncle Xuanyu ......"
Rin paused visibly as he said the last sentence.
In fact, she was not sure that she would be able to convince Uncle Xuan to give up the long-standing grudge between the two clans. She just wanted to do her part so that Talos wouldn't be left alone.
"No, it's too dangerous for you to return to Yunyin now!"
Talos suddenly wrenched away from the hand that was pinching his cheek. Because for him, he can do anything, but, except for letting Rin in the dangerous place.
"Believe me, even the stubborn person like Team Leader Lan is already willing to try, and Uncle Xuan must be ...... too"
"Nope."
Talos's words were firm and undeniable.
"But that's our only chance." Rin Rin looked at him, his eyes were also determined, and he refused to back down half a point.
"You alone can convince the Senate to stop fighting. What about the Cloud Hidden Association? One person has to stand up and promote all this, otherwise why do you think that the current relationship between the two clans, whether it is the Yunyin Association or the Elders of the Yeren Clan, believe your words? β
In fact, these things had already begun to be planned in her mind since Rin had made up her mind to change the status quo of hatred between the two races.
Although with her half-demon body, not only will she not be convinced, but she will even be treated as a traitor who colludes with Yeren. But if Uncle Xuan is willing to believe her, with the support of Team Leader Lan, it is not completely hopeless.
Now, after saying everything she wanted, Rin stared at Talos, waiting for her to give her an affirmative answer......
