Escape!

The first time.

The thought crossed Evelyn's mind.

But in an instant, she dispelled this thought.

It's not that she doesn't want to run.

But in the face of Xia Fan, a mysterious and powerful man, she had no confidence in escaping from the other party's hands at all.

You must know that according to the hierarchy of professionals in human society, Evelyn, who has dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, has the strength of a golden knight and a magician, but she is easily played with in front of Xia Fan.

In other words.

Xia Fan's strength is at least above that of the Earth Knight.

Again.

She also didn't believe that Xia Fan would be kind enough to untie the confinement of her body, which must have sinister intentions.

Long ago.

When she left the Elven Forest for the human realm.

Her mother had solemnly admonished herself.

Never trust a single human being.

Because they are the most complex and contradictory race in the world.

It wasn't until Evelyn stepped into the human realm and met countless people that she understood why her mother had told her so much in the first place.

She has seen the noblest of humans, and she has seen the most despicable of humans.

But the former are often in the minority.

And the most important thing she learned in human society was hypocrisy.

In Evelyn's opinion.

Human beings are an extremely hypocritical race, and the entire human society is a hypocritical society.

Everyone is born with the skill of hypocrisy.

If you don't learn to be hypocritical, you won't be able to survive in human society.

"Is the food still up to your liking?"

Inside the restaurant.

Xia Fan smiled and looked at Evelyn, who was eating elegantly across the table.

“......”

Evelyn didn't speak, didn't even glance at Xia Fan's hypocritical face.

He just nodded expressionlessly.

She has lived in human society for a long time, and she has forgotten how many years, after all, the concept of time is different from that of humans.

And she has long been accustomed to the human diet.

After tearing off the deliberately disguised mask, Evelyn regained her cold nature as an elf in front of Xia Fan.

Now he is behind bars.

No amount of struggle or resistance will help.

Since Xia Fan did not insult or even kill himself, this made Evelyn calm down instead.

She wanted to see it.

Who is the other party, and what is the idea?

"What are you going to do after breakfast?"

Xia Fan didn't seem to care about Evelyn's cold attitude, and still took the trouble to ask.

"If I want to leave, will you allow it?"

Evelyn picked up the napkin on the table and wiped her lips gently, looking at Xia Fan Dao with an indifferent expression.

"Yes, of course...... No. ”

Xia Fan deliberately lengthened his voice, and the smile on his face became even worse.

“...... I want to take a shower and get dressed again. ”

Evelyn snorted coldly in her heart, as if she was not surprised by the other party's answer.

"Come, I'll arrange a bath for this Miss Evelyn later. ”

Hearing this, Xia Fan beckoned directly to the chief maid who was standing respectfully in the corner.

"Yes!"

The head maid nodded like an emotionless puppet.

“...... What did you do with all these people?"

Evelyn, who had thought that all the servants in the manor were strange at first, casually asked.

"Do you mean them or the knights you escorted you to?"

Xia Fan glanced at the maid and said.

"Both. ”

Evelyn said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, I didn't do anything to all of them, I just hypnotized them with a little trick, and when they woke up, they would completely forget that we existed. ”

Xia Fan understated.

“......”

It turns out that the other party is still a spellcaster who is proficient in the spiritual system?

Evelyn thought to herself.

Moment.

After breakfast, Evelyn said goodbye to Xia Fan and left, and went to take a bath under the arrangement of the head maid.

Xia Fan is not an old pervert.

Naturally, I won't go to peep at Evelyn's bath.

If he wanted to see it, he would directly look at it in the open light, how could he do such a trivial thing as voyeurism.

"Master, Miss Evelyn has already bathed. ”

When Xia Fan was standing on the open-air balcony, looking at a group of beast-eared little Lori playing on the lawn in front of him.

Suddenly, the voice of the head maid sounded behind him.

"Alright, you can step back first. ”

Xia Fan waved his hand casually.

Immediately after that, a tall figure appeared beside him.

"Orcs?"

The person next to her was Evelyn.

When she saw the beast-eared girls playing with each other on the lawn on the ground, she subconsciously frowned, and at the same time involuntarily had a doubt in her heart.

Why are there orc children here?

"Pretty cute, isn't it?"

Xia Fan didn't look at Evelyn, who had just come out of the bath and looked even more beautiful, and an extremely gentle smile appeared on her face.

“...... How could these orcs be here?"

Evelyn was silent for a moment, and directly asked the doubts in her heart.

"They'......"

Xia Fan had no intention of concealing it.

simply told Evelyn the tragic background of these beast-eared little Lori.

“......”

Evelyn fell silent again, and unconsciously observed the mysterious man beside her out of the corner of her eye.

She could see it.

There was no falsification in the man's eyes and the expression of pity that flowed out.

Besides, there is no need for the other party to lie.

So, is he a good man?

Of course.

Evelyn doesn't simply naively distinguish between good and bad people.

Because human beings are complex and contradictory.

At this time.

On the lawn, someone found Xia Fan and Evelyn watching them on the open-air balcony.

Although they were very curious about why there was suddenly a strange and beautiful sister next to their brother, this did not prevent them from waving happily and shouting in the direction of Xia Fan and the others.

"Brother, brother!"

"Brother let's play together!"

"Brother come down and play with us!"

Hear the greetings of the beast-eared girls Lori full of immaturity and happiness.

"Okay!"

Xia Fan immediately jumped off the balcony without hesitation in the exclamation of the beast-eared lady Lori.

After coming to their side.

Xia Fan taught them to play the games of their childhood.

What eagle catches chickens, what time is the old wolf, what time is the old wolf, throwing handkerchiefs, wooden people, etc.

on the open-air terrace.

Looking at Xia Fan who was happily playing with a group of half-orc children.

Evelyn was even more confused.

Because.

She really can't understand Xia Fan anymore.

Obviously, he is a powerful man with extraordinary strength, but he is willing to waste his precious time on a group of half-orc children who are not related to him.

You say he's a good guy, but he attacked and even teased himself very badly.

The problem is beyond teasing.

He never seemed to mean to hurt himself.

Hey?

While Evelyn was lost in thought.

With a keen sense, she suddenly turned her gaze to a half-orc child in the lawn with a staring eye on her.

Because.

She actually found hostility in the other person's eyes.

It's just that.

The other party also found Evelyn's eyes and immediately ran to Xia Fan, and the whole person hugged Xia Fan tightly like a koala, and finally even intentionally or unintentionally cast a provocative look at Evelyn.

This made Evelyn frown.

She remembered that this was supposed to be the first time she had met the other person, right?

Why would this orc child be so hostile to himself?

Could it be that—
