Chapter 316: Chapter 207: Lynn, the Lowly “Impurity
As the door of the inn was slowly knocked, Lynn was brought back from his deep contemplation.
At this moment, the setting sun outside the window dipped in the sky, giving the room’s furnishings a faint orange hue, making it look calm yet solemn.
Calculating the time, it had been about six or seven hours since he had used the Lie Swallowing to issue the Psychological Suggestion to that female waitress.
Enough time had passed for her to complete the first command he had given.
Given that, the person knocking on the door could only be one possibility.
“Come in.”
...
Lynn slightly raised his voice as he lay on the bed.
The person outside seemed to have heard his voice, and whether out of excitement or something else, remained silent for several seconds before gently turning the door handle.
As the door was slowly pulled open a crack, a blond youth peeked in furtively, stealthily surveying something.
Seeing the frail youth lying on the bed clearly, he was stunned for a moment, then closed the door and strode in.
As he walked, he pulled out a belt from his waist, “I finally found you, lad… Say nothing, now come with me immediately to see his Highness.”
As he spoke, he quickly approached Lynn’s bedside, grabbed his wrist, and attempted to bind the lad’s hands with the belt.
While binding, he continued to ramble, “Damn it, you disappear casually and get us all in deep trouble!”
“Not to mention barely sleeping well recently, there are also a few unlucky ones who encountered his Highness’s anger and were severely punished, nearly losing their lives.”
The blond youth seemed to harbor many complaints, thus venting them all at once.
However, contrary to his expectations, his partner did not resist at all during the entire process.
This was completely against his expectations.
When they first met at the border, the other party had pulled off the god-level maneuver of kidnapping the Imperial Princess.
Considering he was trying to capture him to take back now, even in a weakened state, he should have resisted.
With this thought, the blond youth let go of him, somewhat helplessly saying, “It’s not that I want to complain, but behaving like this really diminishes others’ sense of accomplishment. You could at least resist a bit so I’d feel like you tried, right?”
However, Lynn just chuckled, “Long time no see, Glaya.”
That’s right.
The hand-written letter passed through the waitress had indeed reached his good brother.
In the entire Glostit, there weren’t many people he trusted, aside from Eleanor and Tiya, mostly subordinates of Ivyst.
Glaya was closer to him, so he had chosen to seek help from him first.
Seeing this, Glaya lost his temper too, sighed softly, then patted his buttocks and sat cross-legged on the floor beside Lynn’s bed, carefully observing him.
Obviously, he didn’t really want to capture Lynn.
“This is the first time I’ve seen you in such a state.”
After observing Lynn’s complexion for a while, Glaya clicked his tongue.
The Lynn he considered capable of anything was in such a desperate situation for the first time, even needing his help.
Thinking about it, he somewhat enjoyed the realization.
But then he scratched his head, “By the way, aren’t you afraid I’ll snitch on you?”
“What do you think?” Lynn replied, pursing his lips.
Of course, he was afraid.
Although Glaya was the closest to him, he was ultimately a subordinate of Ivyst.
He had chosen him because, compared to Aphia and Milani, this lad was much less likely to snitch.
Nonsense.
If those two girls knew he was going all out for a woman they’d never even heard of, they would have taken Tiya to Ivyst without a second thought, and that would be considered mild.
But still, the possibility of Glaya snitching was not zero.
So, Lynn’s move was somewhat of a gamble.
After all, he had been troubled over Tiya’s matter previously, unsure of what choice to make.
In a way, he left the decision to Destiny.
Having used Pine’s cards before, he acquired the ability to discern Destiny Threads, thus he believed more in the existence of these vague things, which even the world’s will couldn’t fully control.
Otherwise, why would there be talks of a system and deviations from the plot?
If, after sending out this letter, the arrival was an angry Ivyst, then Lynn, already struggling, decided to give up resistance.
He could not see, without the Witch’s help, having any advantage against Beatrice.
Of course, this was based on giving up using Fallen Hour on Tiya.
Because, that night, she had said that rather than becoming a puppet without her own will, she’d prefer to accept the death that fate had set for her.
Lynn decided to respect her choice.
However, everything he anticipated ultimately did not happen.
As agreed, Glaya came to meet him at the inn alone.
That meant, the things he couldn’t decide on had finally gotten an answer.
Since that was the case, he would persist with his stubbornness and madness to the end.
Lynn felt somewhat disappointed, yet also somewhat relieved.
“How is her Highness doing? Nothing serious, I hope?”
With this thought, he suddenly remembered Ivyst.
Upon hearing this, Glaya gave a forced smile, pulling at the corners of his mouth, “Heh.”
Everything was unsaid.
Lynn took a deep breath and forced calm, muttering to himself, “Just disappearing for a few days, her Highness is so gentle and considerate, she will surely understand.”
What do you think?
