Chapter 328: Chapter 211: Ultimately, I Can’t Avoid Fighting Alone_2
All of this was caused by me.
I have no idea what the future holds, nor do I wish to know.
Yet even so, she believed that she needed to take on some responsibility for those ethereal matters.
Or perhaps, it was merely an emotional impulse that made her instinctively react this way.
The flash of the blade passed in an instant.
In a moment, the Elf Girl’s gaze met those ocean-blue eyes.
“Rip—”
Accompanied by the sound of fabric tearing, Tiya, with trembling hands, clutched the dagger tightly and bent over deeply, her tears no longer controllable, dropping heavily to the ground.
The Moonlight Dagger, formed by moonlight, ultimately did not pierce the young man’s heart as intended.
Why?
Despite making up her mind, why was she still unable to do it in the end?
Tiya did not understand what was wrong with her, and she wished to find some excuse to shrug off this act.
But the truth was, she simply couldn’t bring herself to strike down the young man who had deeply hurt her and who might very well become the accomplice of the Evil God in the future.
This is a disgrace to a Silent Saintess, and also a disgrace to her as a human being.
In that case, she had no more reason to live.
Or perhaps, with Tiya’s obstinate nature, it was destined from the moment she learned that hypnosis was actually a lie.
In the next second, the Moonlight Dagger, which had been hovering in front of Lynn’s chest, swiftly reversed direction.
Tiya shut her eyes tightly, her pale lips puckered in an extremely resolute manner, and she thrust the dagger towards her delicate neck!
“Pft—!!!”
The sound of flesh being pierced, accompanied by warm blood splattering everywhere.
But the anticipated intense pain did not come.
It seemed as if the dagger was stopped by a force just as resolute, unable to advance any further.
Tiya slowly opened her eyes.
The young man had, at some point, reached out and grabbed the dagger, his expression calm.
Looking at the blood droplets continuously falling onto his robe and his slightly trembling hands, Tiya felt as if the last bit of her spirit was drained from her body.
“Why?”
Her gaze hollow as she looked at the young man before her.
However, he did not answer her question, whether he did not want to or he thought it unnecessary.
With the reemergence of red light in his eyes, the Lie Swallowing was activated.
“You are very tired,” said the young man in a low voice, “Sleep.”
Like a tide, drowsiness came over her, causing Tiya to fall instinctively into his embrace, gripping his tunic tightly.
In the last moments of consciousness fading, the young man’s extremely vague muttering echoed in her ears.
“When you wake up, everything will be back on track, and you will live carefree as the Silent Saintess and as ‘Tiya Yohusti,’ an independent individual.”
“This is a promise, not a lie.”
…
Holding Tiya’s feathery light body, Lynn, who had hastily bandaged the wound, walked out of the washroom at a steady pace,
Her sleeping face is really adorable.
No matter from which angle.
At this moment, Tiya’s brows were still tightly knitted, her complexion pale, like the vulnerable and delicate Xishi clutching her heart, murmuring softly with her moist lips in a pitiful manner.
Lynn let out a soft sigh.
To say there were no emotional fluctuations within would definitely be false.
Otherwise, upon seeing Tiya fall asleep, he, who should have been thoroughly playing the villain, would not have whimsically uttered those last two lines to himself.
As for the reason, he found it hard to think clearly at the moment and could only try to analyze from a rational perspective.
Since arriving in this world, all the women who appeared around him were related to Ivyst, whether Milani or Aphia, they were basically her followers and subordinates.
The mere arc of her brilliance alone was enough to obscure any other woman.
And Lynn had always been regarded as her possession.
In his previous life, this would be a clear case of possessive and jealous love.
Having such a woman who devoted herself to him wasn’t bad, but the feelings involved were ultimately too heavy.
Only because Lynn’s character and will were far beyond ordinary could he generously accommodate her; otherwise, anyone else would have been overwhelmed.
So, for him, the experiences gained from Tiya were more akin to those given by ordinary people.
Just like her approach, somewhat unpolished and somewhat clumsy.
It’s difficult to say who is better or worse.
Lynn himself quite liked Ivyst’s passionate and fiery sisterly style, and he did not dislike the girl-next-door-like Tiya either.
But now that things have come to this point, their relationship had been completely shattered, reduced to rock bottom, and it all no longer mattered.
It just never occurred to him that this simple-minded girl, even at the final moment of knowing everything, still held goodwill towards him.
The dagger stopped at his chest and not driven down was the clear proof of this.
However, now is not the time to consider such things.
What he had decided to do, he must follow through to the end.
Indecision has never been Lynn’s style.
“Judging by the time, it should be about right now, right?”
Holding the soft girl in his arms, Lynn slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel.
This was the sixth floor, not too high, but compared to the generally low and old buildings of the Lower City District, it undoubtedly stood out.
Therefore, just by lifting the curtain beside the floor-to-ceiling window, he could see the surrounding several blocks clearly.
What do you think?
