Shen Zhiyi opened his lips.
"Go to sleep!"
She pushed his face away and turned her back to him.
Boom, boom, boom...
The sound of your heartbeat cannot be ignored.
Shen Zhiyi pounded the pillow irritably and closed his eyes.
A broad embrace cautiously reached up from behind.
Samus reached out and tentatively put his arm around her waist.
He held his breath and didn't dare move.
After a long while, Shen Zhiyi did not push him away.
He breathed a sigh of relief, finally relaxed his body, and bravely hugged her, pressing her tightly into his arms.
Seeing that she still didn't respond.
He bent down again and rested his head on her shoulder.
Shen Zhiyi: …
She opened her eyes in the darkness, lowered them helplessly, and looked at the arms around her waist and the black hair sticking to her face.
This person... is really pushing the envelope...
She ignored him, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Samuel hugged her, and heard her breathing gradually becoming long and steady, with a faint worry in his heart.
She will go on inspection tomorrow.
That place is not very nice.
Roaming bandits, out-of-control orcs... maybe even secret agents planted by the queen.
There are dangers everywhere.
Samus pursed his lips, his face sank into darkness.
He couldn't let her die like this.
He had not yet avenged himself on her, nor yet returned to her all the torment she had inflicted on him.
No one can hurt her.
This obsession was like a life-saving straw, which convinced him instantly.
right.
It was just because of her life that he had to end it.
That's why he wanted to protect her...
Samuel released his arms around her, slowly stood up, sat quietly in the moonlight, and looked at the area near his heart.
There, is his heart-protecting scale.
It is the core of all his strength and the strongest shield in the world.
His Adam's apple rolled.
He raised his hand, and a dark light gathered at his fingertips, pressing against the edge of the heart-protecting scales.
The peeling process was more painful than I had imagined.
He endured the excruciating pain, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, but he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.
The scales fell into the palm of his hand.
His face was as pale as paper. He pressed his bleeding chest, closed his eyes and breathed deeply.
Samuel paused for a moment.
Then he turned around and looked at the sleeping Shen Zhiyi.
He turned his palm over and drove the scale into her back.
After the faint light, a very light black pattern appeared on the skin under Shen Zhiyi's neck.
Like the swaying tail of a snake.
In just a moment, it seeped into her skin, leaving no trace.
After he finished doing all this, he fell weakly onto the bed. After the cold sweat on his body dried, he reached out again and carefully hugged her...
He lowered his eyes to stare at the back of her neck.
There was a deep emotion in his eyes.
He gave her his weakness with his own hands.
Samuel didn't know what he was doing.
He just knew that if he didn't do this, he would never have peace.
"Princess..." he said very softly, "Before I ask for everything, you must live well..."
…
Shen Zhiyi almost escaped to inspect.
She didn't know why, but the black snake, who had treated her like an enemy the day before, became like a dog overnight.
Not only wagging his tail at her.
It's so sticky, as if I can't wait to stick to her for 24 hours.
She needs to focus on business.
I can't think about him anymore.
The city she was going to this time was a small and not very peaceful border town.
There are a lot of crazy orcs here.
"Princess," Ian said as he followed her, "this inspection is a test given to you by the royal family. You must appease all the orcs and make the people believe in your abilities again."
"However..." he whispered, "We still need to be more cautious."
Perhaps, among this group of crazy orcs, there are the death squads arranged by the queen.
Since they failed to kill the princess during the ceremony, they would definitely not miss this good opportunity to inspect the scene.
Shen Zhiyi nodded seriously, “I will be careful.”
"Colonel Leo?!" Ian said in surprise as he looked at the figure walking not far away.
