Chapter 33
Miel wasn't actually that tired.
But his spirit was almost at its limit.
Bross's memories, Miphiel's room, Ina's resurrection, Leon's persecution...
If it weren't for Lola, he might have lost all his sanity and fallen into madness at this moment.
Before he even reached the hotel, he fell asleep in Lola's arms, his consciousness plunging into a chaotic darkness.
So he didn't know that after Lola and Leon walked side by side for a distance, their bodies touched each other and dissolved into one like liquid.
When they arrived at the hotel, only Lola was left with Miel, and Leon was nowhere to be seen.
"Two people, one room."
The incarnation of the great Cthulhu spoke calmly with the appearance of Lola, holding the sleeping Miel horizontally, and took out some gold coins from the gold ring on his left thumb.
…
The curtains in the hotel room were not very effective in blocking out light.
The early morning sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains and poured into the room. Miel was awakened by the light, his silver eyelashes fluttering as he stared at the unfamiliar environment with his beautiful sapphire eyes for a moment.
Until a familiar, deep and magnetic voice came from my ear: "Awake?"
Miel looked in the direction of the sound, and the figure of Csulola came into view.
The black-haired elf is still as handsome as ever, with a healthy complexion, a strong figure with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and he possesses both beauty and strength.
Most importantly, there was no aggression or hostility in his red eyes as if he was locking onto prey.
Miel sat up from the bed, with a slightly messy head of silver-white hair, and smiled: "Good morning, Lola."
The corners of Czulola's lips curled slightly: "Good morning, my Miel."
My Miel - as far as I can remember, this seems to be the first time Lola called him that, but there is nothing wrong with it.
In every sense, Miel belonged to him.
He is the sorcerer who signed a contract with him, his agent, and his nominal other half.
After Miel finished washing up and combed her long silver hair, she remembered to ask about Cthulion's whereabouts.
"Where's Mr. Lyon?"
Czulola was silent for a moment before responding, but she didn't directly answer where Leon had gone. Instead, she said this: "Today, you are mine, and mine alone."
Miel automatically translated his response into "You won't see Leon all day today" and nodded "hmm" to show that he understood.
It seems that if I want to fulfill that promise, I have to take advantage of today.
After a good night's sleep, Miel felt much better and had the energy to make plans again. "Lola, come with me to the church first. Although Father Dindel is a good man, I can't leave Rocas with him forever because of his dangerous beliefs. Then we should leave Snow City and go to a warmer place, like the Hope Plains of Isyana. I heard that Guangyao City is a very sacred city, and I've always wanted to visit it. We'll definitely pass by the inn on the way, and I'll fulfill the promise we made there."
Csulola was silent for a while, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
In short, his final response was: "Okay."
…
Miel had breakfast at the hotel, then used a portal to teleport himself and Czulola all the way to the church entrance, and then walked in normally.
It was not yet 10 o'clock, and Father Dindel had no other missions. He saw Miel from afar and took the initiative to greet him: "Miel Akunila, good morning. I heard that the Akunila mansion was damaged last night. I am relieved to see that you are safe and sound."
"Where is Rocas?" Miel asked directly.
"I didn't see it. Maybe he hasn't gotten up yet," Father Tyndall responded.
His eyes are still melancholy and his voice is still gentle.
Miel sighed inwardly, "The priest is truly a good man," and thanked him, "Thank you again for providing us with shelter, food, living facilities, and so much other help. Without you, I really don't know what I would do. Snow City is fortunate to have a kind and noble priest like you."
Dingdel: "..."
Miel's words came from the heart, but were very exaggerated.
However, after hearing his words, Father Tyndall didn't react at all, not even blinking, as if he was so used to hearing similar words that he had become immune to them, or perhaps he didn't hear them at all.
After a somewhat awkward silence, Father Tyndall spoke and asked, "Are you leaving Syracuse?"
Miel looked surprised. "Ah, did you hear that?... Although I'm very sorry that I can't inherit the throne of Snow City Lord, as you said, I'm still just a child, at an age suitable for traveling around, so..."
"You don't have to explain anything to me. You have the freedom to choose." Father Tyndall interrupted, "But...with all due respect, have you had any dreams recently?"
"If you're asking about spiders, then no," Miel responded bluntly.
He had some insignificant dreams last night. Although they were not pleasant dreams, he was 100% sure that there were no spiders in those dreams, nor the god that made him inexplicably afraid.
It seems that the only area that the god can influence is the church.
Father Tyndall's lips were a little thin, and after hearing Miel's answer, they pursed slightly, making them look even thinner.
After a while, he sighed, then stared into Miel's eyes with his violet eyes and said softly, "Miel Akunila, yes, you are still just a child, so instead of watching you leave Snow City and travel somewhere else, I would rather you stay by my side until you are 100 years old. I will take care of you like your father... no, like your mother."
Miel: “…”
Male...male mother?
Although he was grateful for Dindel's kindness, Miel could not stay in the church even if he wanted to stay in Snow City.
He didn't want to be entangled by the god behind Dindel, nor did he want to drag Dindel into the abyss of the great Cthulhu, and he didn't want these two Old Ones to fight each other.
So his response was, "Thank you, really, thank you very much, but I really don't want to stay in Syracuse anymore. Maybe I'll come back in the future, but I don't want to spend the next year in Syracuse."
Tyndall: "Have you decided where you want to go?"
Miel: “Yes.”
Tyndall: "Mind telling me?"
Miel hesitated for a moment.
He didn't want the god behind Dindel to know where he went, but considering that the area of Isyanah Hope Plain was dozens of times that of Snow City, even if they knew where he went, they would not be able to find him.
Thinking this way, he chose to confess: "Go west."
Dingdel: "Glorious City?"
Miel: “Yes.”
Father Tyndall pursed his lips for a moment, clearly wanting to keep him, but he ultimately respected Miel's choice.
"Since you've made up your mind, then..." He closed his eyes and made the sign of the cross on his chest, "May God bless you, and may your journey be painless."
Almost immediately after he finished speaking, a slightly childish female voice rang out from behind Miel: "Brother! I found someone who looks a lot like my father!"
Hearing this, Miel's scalp went numb.
He turned his head stiffly and watched Ina, wearing a black dress, running towards him happily holding Rocas's hand.
Inai's face was filled with excitement as if he had discovered a new world, while Rocas's face was full of embarrassment and discomfort.
Ina is very beautiful.
After all, she is an ice high elf who inherited the blood of Bros and Mifeel. Like Mifeel, her face is perfect from any angle.
Such a face would be extremely attractive to any man of normal sexual orientation - perhaps that is why the agile Rocas could not break free from her "hold".
However, at this moment, Miel had no time to consider whether Rocas might be attracted to Inai.
His mind is now full of these two questions:
Why is Ina in church?
How did she know that Rocas looked like Burrows?
Although he has the same gentle appearance as the Ice High Elf, Rocas's hair and eye color do not have any characteristics of the Ice High Elf, and his facial features are very different from Bross.
Otherwise, Beren would not have sold him as an ordinary slave and would have blackmailed Bross.
When Rocas saw Miel, the awkwardness on his face turned into embarrassment.
He still didn't break free from Ina's hand. He raised his other hand to scratch his head and said, "Master, is this your...sister?"
"Yes, Ina Akunila." Miel called the girl's name and stretched out a hand to her, "Come here, don't bully my followers."
Ina stared at his palm for a while, raised the corner of his lips with interest, let go of Rocas's hand, walked up to him, and shook his hand: "Okay! Although brother is cunning, but considering that brother is so handsome, Ina will not cause trouble for brother!"
Miel felt that she was implying that he had concealed the truth from Rocas...
But is it really okay to tell Rocas the truth that he was created by the Lord of Snow City with a purpose, deprived of his magic pool and thrown into the sewer?
However, it is indeed a bit cunning to let a brother who shares half of the same blood as you serve as your follower.
"Locas, I want to leave Snow City and go to Guangyao City. Do you want to go with me, or..." Miyer decided to give Locas another chance to choose.
Before he could finish his words, Rocas interrupted him and said, "Wherever the master goes, I will go."
Miel pursed his lips and said, "Don't call me Master from now on. Just call me Miel. I don't like to order anyone around."
—Pretend that you never said that you wanted to hire a lot of servants to serve you when you became rich.
Rocas was stunned for a moment, then after a brief silence, he chuckled and said, "But for me, it's easier to treat you as my master. Just consider it as fulfilling my wish. Can you allow me to continue treating you as my master?"
"Of course, you are free to make any decision," Miel responded.
Rocas: "When do we leave?"
Miel: “Now.”
Rocas: "Then please wait for a minute, Master. I'll quickly pack up my things!"
Miel: “Okay.”
Rocas went to pack up. Miel looked at Inai, who was still being held by his hand. She shrugged her shoulders, her face showing a mixture of disappointment and amusement, which finally turned into a helpless smile.
Father Dindel was right there, and Miel couldn't ask her anything, but... it didn't seem to matter anymore.
No matter how Inai learned of Rocas's true identity, Rocas made his own choice.
Ina is not simple, and Rocas is not stupid.
No one in the Akunela family is a good person...
Miel sighed to himself, feeling that his future was filled with unknown fear.
…
There were a lot of people on the main road to Guangyao City, so it was not a good idea to abuse magic in a high-profile manner. In addition, Miyer was not in a hurry to travel and wanted to take a look at the scenery along the way, so he hired a carriage.
There were four people in the carriage, Miel, Rocas, Inai, and Csulola.
No Cthulion.
Miel didn't know where Leon was and what he was doing now, but the fact that he could drop into the study in the Akunila mansion meant that he should be able to sense him or Lola in some way.
...I was actually worried that he wouldn't be able to find me, even though I hated him so much, so much that I didn't want him to touch me anymore.
Miel forced himself not to think about the lion-like and oppressive man, and focused his eyes on Lola who was sitting opposite him.
According to the map and their speed of travel, they should be able to reach the hotel in Hope Town before evening.
It turns out that it's more acceptable to do that kind of thing at night.
Will he have his first time there?
Or is it just another one-sided unrealistic fantasy of his?
Whether he is expecting or feeling uneasy, let the night give him the answer.

Author's note: Actually, the main characters of this volume haven't appeared yet (or should I say, only half of them have appeared?). But don't worry, the main purpose of this volume is to make Miel accept that Lola and Leon are the same person, otherwise he will face more attacks in the future...
