Yun Wei froze completely.
He had never been looked at with such resentment by Isaac before.
Without thinking much, he took two quick steps toward the other person, then slowly stopped.
Ignoring the fear welling up inside him, Yun Wei awkwardly tried to explain, "Isa, I was just... no, let's find another place and talk properly?"
In the howling wind, Isaac silently gazed at Yun Wei, who was standing right in front of him.
For some reason, the word "Isa" sounded so jarring.
The other person seemed so innocent and vulnerable, as if it were they who had done something wrong.
He suddenly realized an incredibly terrifying fact—
Perhaps I have never truly understood the "real" Yunwei.
In the end, he suddenly realized that Yun Wei's acting skills were the most superb.
Who would have thought that your partner, who tells you "I love you" every day, might actually harbor malicious intentions towards your family?
Isaac was extremely annoyed; he felt like a silly bird in springtime who had carried a cuckoo's egg back to its nest.
This analogy may not be accurate, but his head was already in a noisy, chaotic state, on the verge of exploding.
The more crucial fact is that once Yun Wei stands before him, once he sees him and breathes in the rich life force emanating from him, he seems to be unable to help but believe whatever the other says.
He hated himself for losing his mind like this.
Wake up, Isaac. He tried his best to tell himself.
Seeing that the other party remained silent, Yun Wei's fear intensified. "Isa..."
"Isa, give me some response, even if it's just insults," he pleaded silently.
The two were very close, so close that even though neither of them spoke much, Isaac could vaguely sense the other's unusually strong emotional fluctuations.
Oh, right, there's that damn contract between them.
So, this is another one of your new tricks, isn't it?
The thought that even in this state, his emotions could still be so easily swayed by the other party made him feel exceptionally pitiful and pathetic.
He didn't think any further and unilaterally blocked the connection with Yun Wei.
He was furious, and his remaining rationality told him that if he opened his mouth, he would say something reckless.
Isaac didn't know what to do.
Finally, he looked at Yun Wei.
This kind of gaze was extremely funny. Although his gaze was on the other person, he tried his best to control himself and not pay attention to the expression on the other person's face.
"Let's separate for a while," he announced, trying to remain calm.
Perhaps they all need time to calm down.
Yun Wei thought he hadn't heard clearly. He stood there awkwardly, looking up at the high and mighty king.
"Huh?" he muttered in confusion, like an idiot.
Unexpectedly, he overestimated his voice and in the end, he only managed to utter a meaningless breath.
Like a person on the verge of death.
Having made his decision, Isaac suddenly concealed the blazing fire in his eyes.
Under the dim sky, those noble and aloof eyes were like bottomless, icy pools.
He said no more and turned to leave.
The cloak behind him billowed and fluttered, brushing against the magician's outstretched fingertips.
The luxurious feel of this fabric was Yun Wei's last impression of Isaac.
At that moment, disbelief was written all over Yun Wei's face.
He stood there, stunned, until the other person was far away, before he snapped out of his daze and called out, "Isaac!—"
That sound was clearly hoarse and desperate.
Only a wild goose that has lost its mate, or a crane separated from its flock, would utter such a mournful cry.
Even so, Isaac left without looking back. The well-trained man walked with remarkable steadiness, his steps showing absolutely no hesitation.
Yun Wei stood there blankly, and in that instant, he suddenly lost all his strength.
But he didn't stay in that state for long, not because he was unwilling, but because a voice rang out at an inopportune moment:
"Mr. Yun Wei, it's been a while since we last met."
Yun Wei had no choice but to force himself to look at the shrewd old man.
It turned out that it was Duke Chifeng who spoke.
Yun Wei had a very deep impression of this duke.
The reason was simple: their common ground lay in dealing with the silver box left by the Rousseau family. The other party acted with ease in court, which only highlighted my own naivety and ignorance in politics.
However, he was simply too tired to deal with those old foxes any longer.
"Sorry." He glanced at the other person indifferently, then turned and walked away in an extremely rude manner.
Despite being publicly humiliated, Grand Duke Chifeng still wore a smile on his face.
Watching the other person leave in a daze, he began to ponder something else.
Isaac is now preparing to bestow the title of "Caesar" upon the other party. He was originally unwilling, but now it seems that there is much to be done about it.
Once the conflict between the two intensifies, he becomes even more comfortable.
After all, the Duchy of Icebirds was too far from his territory. Rather than letting the neighboring Florence and Windward benefit from it, it would be better to propose granting it to this seemingly easy-to-manage magician.
The checks and balances on power must be exercised with utmost care.
He also needs to be extremely careful so as not to suffer the same tragic fate as the nobles of the two neighboring kingdoms.
This is a magical world; if someone dies, they lose everything.
Thinking of this, he said to the two dukes behind him with a forced smile, "Gentlemen, this rain is unlikely to let up anytime soon. Why don't you come to my humble abode nearby and have a cup of hot tea?"
...
Ephesus is the manager of the Moonflower City branch of the "Washio" Inn.
He had to be on duty here seven days a week, almost all year round, and he could clearly hear the sound of wind and rain outside.
Rain doesn't really matter to him.
He wasn't a homeless person with nowhere to live in the city.
The bad news is that many guests will be staying in the hotel, creating endless trouble out of thin air.
The good news is that there may not be many new guests for the time being.
However, the problem is that whatever you wish for comes true.
Sure enough, just as he had this thought, the hotel door was slowly pushed open.
The wind and rain that rushed in were so cold that it was hard to believe it was the height of summer. He looked up at the soaking wet guest and realized that it was an old acquaintance.
The Azure Glass People are rare on the Zhuyuan Continent, so he naturally had a deep impression of the one in front of him.
The other party not only matched his impression of the lavish spending of the Bili people, but the servant who followed closely behind him was also an unforgettable feature.
Strangely, the other party was alone today, without his exceptionally tall and noble servant.
Ephesus didn't think much of it and immediately put on a professional smile. "Hello, sir. I'm sorry, we're fully booked today. We only have one room left in the attic. You see—"
The other person was clearly trembling, but showed no disgust whatsoever. "That's fine then, I'll take it."
The tranquil lobby shielded the area from the torrential rain and wind from the street, and the other person's hoarse voice sounded quite pleasant.
It brings peace of mind.
"Okay, please wait a moment." Ephesus began searching for the key.
He secretly observed the beautiful Eastern woman before him; raindrops still clung to her thick eyelashes, making her look rather pitiful.
“I’ll lead you upstairs. Do you need hot water? I’ll bring it to you later.” It was rare for Ephesus to show such great mercy.
The other person shook their head and politely declined, saying, "Thank you, but it's not necessary."
