"...Ah." The world consciousness paused for two seconds, then suddenly realized, "Because I couldn't find any trace of you, I was worried about your safety, so I specifically consulted a few seniors..."
"Villie, it's been a long time."
"Villi, thank you for your hard work."
Two familiar voices rang out at the same time, one childish and the other gentle.
However, Willy quietly took two steps back.
"No...that's not what I meant..."
Space was distorted by the power of magic, and the shadows cast gradually took on human form. The shadows were only momentarily confused at first, but instantly became clear-headed when the shadows caught sight of the boy.
"……elder brother?"
Ryan staggered forward two steps, but his view was blocked before he could get close to Vili.
"I don't remember... when I gained a younger brother."
Elijah gave a cold, mocking laugh, his long, narrow, scarlet eyes narrowing slightly.
"...Don't worry, there's more than one."
Ryan caught Ryan, who was trying to sneak away, and their identical appearances made their relationship obvious.
"By the way, I only acknowledge one older brother."
"What a mess of family relationships."
Si Yuan straightened her bow tie, her purple eyes gazing mournfully at Vili.
"Young Master, that stab hurt so much..."
"But it's okay, because I love you."
"But at least I should get some compensation..."
He took a step to approach the boy, but in the next second he swiftly dodged away from his spot, leaving deep marks on the smooth ground with the boning knife, the sound of the blade hitting the ground producing a chilling buzzing sound.
His grey-blue eyes were calm and still, softening only slightly when he met Willy's gaze; the butcher's voice was hoarse.
"Compensation... I'll give it to you."
"Go to hell."
With a wave of his hand, Chu Lai chased away the bats that had appeared out of nowhere. His steps were light and silent, and he patted his chest as if still shaken.
"Honey, this place is a bit too scary... I need your protection..."
"Owner!"
His words collided with those of another person.
A cold glint flashed in the hacker's glasses as he stared at the tall man's hairy ears.
He started rummaging through his pockets for a bomb, but still managed to ingratiate himself with Willy, looking quite aggrieved.
"Honey, didn't we agree that I'd be your only dog?"
Dario froze, his tail, which had been wagging incessantly upon seeing his master, now stopped in mid-air.
"..."
Vili, who had been trying to make himself less noticeable, finally couldn't help but blush and retort after hearing this:
"Who said we agreed?"
As he spoke, Dario lunged at Chu Lai, tearing at him.
“I knew it all along… my queen has always been very charming.” Observing the chaos in the room, Aetheran sighed softly, “But aren’t there a bit too many insects?”
"Little dandelion, you should still fall into my embrace."
He opened his broad arms, and an inexplicable attraction enveloped Vili, pulling him toward the man.
Before he could struggle, the invisible rope seemed to have been stretched to its limit and suddenly snapped, sending the boy into the arms of another person.
“V...Vili…”
My head was spinning, and before I could even see the other person's face clearly, I felt the cold tears falling on my cheek.
Okay... he knows who this person is.
Willie lay in the man's arms, wiping away the tears from the corner of his eyes with his index finger. He saw the bright red stains on the corners of his eyes and said helplessly.
"Lesson, don't cry."
Not far away, Zephyr reached out to deflect Atheran's attack and casually pushed the person next to him.
"Lesson, what are you daydreaming about?"
Scarlett turned her gaze away from Willy, snorted coldly in displeasure, and then vented her anger on the "enemy" in front of her.
"What, your princess?"
He said arrogantly.
“Villie is my princess.”
"We did have a wedding ceremony."
"..."
It was just a wedding in my dream... and it was only halfway through.
Zephyr thought to himself.
A glint flashed in Aetheran's obsidian-like eyes as he casually turned the ring on his ring finger.
"Your Highness..."
"Perhaps one rank lower than the king?"
"you--"
A new round of battle has begun.
"Your Highness... are you alright?"
A knight in armor ran over, removed his heavy helmet, revealing wet blond hair and sparkling lake-green eyes.
He completely ignored Lysen beside him, his eyes fixed on Vili.
"Don't worry, I will protect you."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the sound of weapons clashing rang out.
Looking in the direction of the sword tip, Alexander frowned slightly.
That's... a folding fan?
"My lord knight... please concentrate during the battle."
With a light twist of his well-defined, jade-white fingers, the seemingly ordinary fan handle sent the longsword plummeting downwards, only to be stabilized by Alexander's powerful strength a second later.
Kii Kanade raised an eyebrow slightly.
"He's got some skills."
For the sake of Vili, the two of them unanimously shifted their battleground. A delicate fragrance inadvertently brushed past the boy's nose, and his smiling peach blossom eyes blinked lightly.
"Vili, wait for me."
Who is that?
Leisen grabbed Willie's shirt and sobbed.
"..."
How am I supposed to explain this to you...?
Vili couldn't help but look away, only to be unexpectedly drawn into a sea of gold.
The white-haired saint walked with an elegant gait, yet for some reason seemed to carry a hint of urgency. When he saw Leisen's obstructive actions, his smile turned inexplicably cold.
“Villie…”
He softened his voice.
"You may not know this, but the Vatican also has the responsibility of exorcising demons."
Seemingly having heard some profanity, Leisen cautiously approached Vili.
“I’d be happy to clean up such filthy creatures.”
"..."
Lysen's tears stopped, his eyes darkened, turning almost bloodshot. Even though he grew up in a "greenhouse"-like castle, he was still a pure-blooded vampire with exceptional talent and outstanding combat power.
The scepter of holy light appeared in Adrian's palm, and the vampires present couldn't help but glance at it for a moment, but then withdrew it after confirming that Vili was unharmed.
Before the battle began, Adrian made sure to capture the boy's perfect profile with a gentle smile.
“Vili, don’t forget, you can always choose me without any hesitation.”
"..."
Before Willy could even process the deeper meaning of his words, his wrist was gripped tightly by another person.
“Vili...I’ll take you away.”
The handsome young man, dressed in black with black hair, had an unusually pale face, and a red mark on his lips from being bitten, a result of his excitement at seeing his beloved again.
His clear black and white pupils trembled slightly, and he repeated it again.
"I'll take you away."
Please, come with me.
Vili read that meaning in his eyes.
