Chapter 25 It’s sad, today is Monday again!!! *……
*
The next morning when I woke up, I felt an itch near my neck. When I turned my head, I saw a furry head.
Sean buried his head in my neck, his eyes closed, only the tips of his ears moved from time to time, as if he was instinctively listening to the sound.
I couldn't help but reach out to touch his head. As soon as I stretched out my hand, Sean suddenly opened his eyes.
His pupils were dark black, surrounded by a circle of dazzling gold, and as cold as ice.
My hand stopped in mid-air, and the two of us looked at each other, feeling very awkward.
After a while, Sean rubbed my palm silently and politely.
His hair was very soft, fluffy after waking up. It swept through his hands like a cat's tail. His serious little face was tense, as if he was facing a great enemy.
I wanted to laugh, but I thought it would be impolite to laugh. So I coughed and said "Good morning" to him as naturally as possible.
"……Good morning."
Sean answered me sullenly, with a hint of reluctance in his voice. I pinched his face and quickly retracted my hand before Sean got angry. His expression was somewhere between explosive and not explosive, and finally he glared at me fiercely, showing his sharp canine teeth.
"Stop pinching my face?"
"Why can't I pinch it?"
"…No means no."
"What if I insist on pinching you?"
"Then I'm going to bite you!"
I couldn't stop laughing. I finally understood why the slave trader hated Sean so much. His stubborn and awkward personality must have led to him being bullied a lot. His hands and feet, exposed from his loose pajamas, were covered with scars.
The orcs have a strong ability to recover. The deceased beast god Kael even regenerated his broken limbs in the war between gods and fought ten enemies at once. His fighting power was terrifying. Even in this situation, the little wolf cub was still covered with scars.
I took advantage of his unpreparedness and pinched his face again, but quickly pulled my hand back when he was about to bite me.
"Put on your clothes first. I'll ask someone to treat your wounds later."
Sean opened his mouth and closed it again. He stared at me for a long time with a frown on his face. I raised my eyebrows and asked, "Why, you didn't even say thank you?"
Sean: “…………”
Sean: “…Thank you.”
Me: “Okay.”
The little wolf cub's face was full of doubt about his life. He seemed to have a lot to say, but he swallowed it down.
You can't blame me for having a bad taste. Who can resist bullying a wolf cub who always wants to scratch people? It's human nature to tease people more when they are tickled, and gods are no exception.
After a period of shameless teasing of the little wolf cub, I woke up refreshed.
As soon as I pushed the door open, I heard a creaking sound and a shadow loomed over me. The person standing at the door turned around and looked at me.
Those beautiful eyes looked down at me without blinking. The Knight Commander said to me in a low, steady voice full of disapproval:
"Good morning, Your Highness."
It's over.
Did I do something wrong?
*
In just three seconds, countless things flashed through my mind. I recalled in detail the process from waking up to falling asleep yesterday, and I felt that I had not done anything bad.
Even if it was a wolf cub, he paid the real price for it, and the slave trader left with a smile on his face. It was absolutely fair and just.
Although I haven't spent much time with the Knight Commander, I know that he is not a person who likes to show his negative emotions.
When encountering a tide of beasts in the forest, I often see him frowning.
No matter how strong a knight is, he cannot escape the pain. But the Knight Commander will never say it. He always stands straight in the front, arranges the work in an orderly manner, and unites everyone. When I bring the prey back, the people in the camp cheer.
They exclaimed: "As expected of you, Lord Saint, you are able to defeat so many monsters!"
Only the Knight Commander always looked at me first, and after confirming that I was not injured, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"With all due respect, it's not safe for a stranger to rest with you. I can arrange another room for him, but I hope you can ensure your own safety first."
Before I could say anything, I suddenly felt a warm chest behind me. Sean hugged me from behind, and even though I couldn't see his face, I knew he must be looking wild and provocative.
"This matter has nothing to do with you. I only follow the orders of my master."
The Knight Commander's gaze fell on him, with a hint of gunpowder.
"Let go. I am responsible for the safety of the Holy Son. Someone like you with unknown background cannot get so close to the Holy Son."
"It was the master who took the initiative to hold me and touched my head. Uncle, you are the one who should leave."
“…………”
After Sean said that about the uncle, the air seemed to be silent.
The Knight Commander looked at me expressionlessly—or rather, behind me. His jaw was tense. To be fair, he definitely looked under 30, maybe even younger. He was handsome and gentle, and if he walked on the street, he would probably be called "big brother" by a lost little girl.
But none of these things were true in Sean's eyes. The wolf cub, who had just been picked up, was still wary of everything. Not to mention the Knight Commander who played the role of a villain as soon as he appeared.
There was a strong hostility between the two. If I hadn't been here, I had no doubt that they would have had a fight next - oh, no, it was the Knight Commander beating the wolf cub unilaterally.
Seeing this scene, I really want to learn from that group of players and say, "Okay, stop arguing over me. I'm really not worth it."
Or should I just turn around and leave, and let them finish their quarrel before coming back? I admit that this idea is a bit unkind, at least I have to consider the safety of the little wolf cub. So I just rubbed my forehead and stood between the two of them.
"I am still alive."
The Knight Commander was stunned for a moment, then immediately knelt on one knee and bowed his head to me with guilt.
"I'm sorry, Master Saint. I offended you. I shouldn't have taught your slaves without your permission... But this is the only thing I can't give in to for your safety."
The little wolf knew he had made a mistake and stopped talking. I glanced at him and he pursed his lips, looking like he would never admit defeat.
So I said, why don't we just get along well with each other? Now that it has become like this, it is difficult for me to deal with it.
I had no choice but to put on a straight face and said, "Don't move. Bend over."
The first sentence was addressed to two people, and the second sentence was addressed to the Knight Commander.
Both parties obeyed. I raised my hand and tapped the Knight Commander's forehead, not too hard or too lightly.
He looked at me with wide eyes, like a big dog being picked up. He was confused because he hadn't been picked up for a long time.
The little wolf looked at him gloatingly. I snorted coldly: "Don't even think about escaping. You have it too."
He covered his forehead with his hands and looked at me in confusion. His round eyes drooped and he looked like a puppy. But I was hard-hearted and fair.
"I brought Sean back with me, so he should be with me."
The wolf cub's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at the Knight Commander with pride, but the Knight Commander remained silent, only frowning slightly.
Then, I changed the subject: "But what the Knight Commander said makes sense. The unknown origin is indeed a problem."
This time it was the Knight Commander's turn to raise his eyes and look at me intently. The little wolf cub stared at me in shock as if he had been abandoned, as if he had not expected that I would have such a trick.
Ignoring his expression, I declared in a resounding voice.
"So, from now on, Sean, you will follow the Knight Commander to learn how to become a Paladin. This will not only solve your identity problem, but also make it easier for you to guard me at night."
Sean was stunned.
The Knight Commander was also stunned.
I was the only one standing between the two of them, smiling brightly and tenderly. If someone was taking a photo nearby, I guess he would have seen a kind of devilish evil in my smile.
"Okay, that's fine. From today on, you will be each other's teacher and student."
"Please get along well with each other, Thane, Lord Knight."
Haha, little brat.
Can't I cure you two?
