Yun Wei had never had any interaction with this Duke of Bethlehem before.
So much so that he was stunned for a moment when the other person suddenly called out to him.
He turned to Silver Julius and said gently, "Hello, what can I do for you?"
"Oh, please don't stand on ceremony with me." Silver immediately waved his hand, but his face showed anxiety. "I'd like to ask you, in this situation, how should I comfort Sid?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Wei hesitated and said, "This..."
What makes him so capable that he can advise others on matters of the heart?
"Don't laugh at me, but I'm starting to regret it now." Silver spoke quickly, pointing to the scattered gold leaves on the ground. "If I had known the truth would be so cruel... perhaps I shouldn't have..."
At this point, the Grand Duke of Bethlehem became incoherent.
Yun Wei looked at the young man in front of him who was painfully pulling at his hair, and said seriously, "I think the truth is very important."
"Knowing the truth may be excruciating, but it's not your fault. Besides... knowing Sid as I do, if he could do it all over again, he would still choose to explore the truth of what happened back then," Yun Wei said carefully.
Sid's suffering largely stemmed from the deception and cover-up by Haynes and George.
Past hatred does not easily fade away; on the contrary, it tends to grow stronger over time.
Admittedly, if we didn't know the truth, we might not be in so much pain.
But how unfair this is to the deceased Tyr couple and to Sid, who was kept in the dark.
"Sigh... That makes sense, but he just told me not to come with him." Silver was restless, like an ant on a hot pan.
He genuinely felt that his performance today was somewhat poor. "If I could, I should have laid the groundwork first. I just told him everything without any preparation this morning... and Sid was clearly so happy before that."
Thinking about this made him even more upset.
His partner is going through the most difficult time of his life, and he doesn't know how to help him cope.
A sudden silence fell over the room, and Yun Wei couldn't help but sigh.
He glanced at Isaac, only to find that the other was also looking at him.
Even when he was feeling down, he could draw endless strength from the gaze of his beloved knight.
Thinking of this, Yun Wei couldn't help but say, "Silver. May I call you that?"
“Of course, it’s my honor.” The light red-haired youth nodded crisply.
"Okay, then you can call me Yun Wei, let's not use honorifics."
Yun Wei forced a smile, but hesitated and said, "I'm not very clear about the situation between you and Sid... but is it possible that Sid told you not to get close to him, but actually wanted you to get close to him?"
His words were so convoluted that even he himself pondered them for a long time after saying them.
This time it was Silver's turn to be stunned. He looked at Yun Wei with some confusion and stammered, "I don't quite understand what you mean. But if Sid wants me to get close to him, why won't he let me go to him?"
But when Yun Wei saw the other person's indigo eyes, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
He immediately asked, "Sid had a favorite indigo hat, do you remember?"
“Yes, of course.” Silver replied without hesitation, “Sid said that his mother knitted it for him, and he has unraveled and re-knitted it many times over the years, and he takes it with him wherever he goes.”
Indeed, back in the academy, Yun Wei had noticed that wide-brimmed mage's hat.
But he only offered a suggestion: "I've heard it said that people who subconsciously like to wear hats are generally insecure. So is it possible, of course, I mean 'possibly'?"
"For Sid, you are his last hope in this world. He was afraid of your rejection, so he rejected you first, but actually—"
The other person wants you to take the initiative to contact them.
Yun Wei emphasized that this was his guess, and only the Grand Duke of Bethlehem, who shared a bed with Sid, knew the specifics.
Before he could finish speaking, the other person had already rushed out of the library in a flurry of activity.
"Thank you, I'll send you a truckload of the best red wine another day." Silver said this to him before his figure disappeared.
"Hey!" Yun Wei couldn't help but raise his hand, only to grab at thin air.
But the next moment, Isaac grabbed his fingers.
"Isa," Yun Wei whispered his lover's name, his fingers expertly intertwining with hers, but he said with concern, "I was just guessing. I'm so afraid that things aren't really like that between them..."
“Then Silver deserves it,” Isaac chimed in, but coolly added, “He doesn’t even understand what his sweetheart means; he brought it on himself.”
Yun Wei couldn't help but glare at Isaac and scolded, "Hey, why are you acting like this?"
“Oh, I think I forgot to tell you.” Isaac scratched his head, then laughed. “I agreed to take that kid on as my apprentice and teach him fighting and cooking.”
Yun Wei: "..."
When did this happen? How come he has no idea?
Seemingly sensing his doubt, Isaac added sheepishly, "Just last night. Actually, I couldn't resist the urge and ended up swinging the greatsword you gave me in the courtyard in the middle of the night..."
Then they happened to run into a group of people from the Bethlehem territory who were returning.
Anyone with eyes can see what's going on; his behavior was incredibly stupid.
He didn't want to ruin his lifelong reputation, and seeing that the other party was indeed sincere, he reluctantly agreed.
As a result, when Isaac saw Yunwei, he unknowingly revealed all his secrets.
Yun Wei: "..."
Ah, his Issa is so stupid.
But why is it that he's the one who's embarrassed?!
At this moment, the man beside her added fuel to the fire.
Isaac said, "Well, I did learn a lesson today."
"What?" Yun Wei had been lost in thought and had no idea how the other person's thoughts were jumping around.
But Isaac was staring at him intently and said seriously, "Next time you reject me, I'll consider whether you were actually inviting me."
Yun Wei: "..."
