(The passed the review without any edits, so those who haven't seen it can go back and check it out.)
Under the moonlight, a girl covered in stains hugged her knees and sobbed softly.
Her delicate, fair feet were tucked together under her robe, trembling slightly as she curled up.
She wept so sadly, as if to pour out all the emotions buried deep in her heart recently.
Why do I suddenly feel pity?
In the darkness, Lynn subconsciously reached out his hand towards her.
But the next second, the girl who had just been sobbing suddenly lifted her head with a cold expression in her eyes, as if harboring unprecedented anger.
"I knew it... I knew you were lying to me!!!"
"Hypnosis? It's all fake!!!"
In an instant, Lynn felt his whole body constrained by some invisible force, and then he saw her slowly stand up, her bare feet stepping on the sheets, walking towards him step by step.
The girl's icy hands gripped his throat tightly like iron clamps, resolutely determined to put him to death!
The intense suffocation and pain swept through his body, making Lynn subconsciously want to struggle.
However, it was all in vain.
As their gazes met, Lynn suddenly noticed that those emerald eyes had lost their usual warmth and were filled with a high, indifferent air.
All the humanity that had once resided in Tiya seemed to vanish in that moment.
In its place was something known as "Divinity."
The moment that name surfaced in his mind, Lynn abruptly opened his eyes, sat up subconsciously, and gasped for air.
However, for someone with severe injuries, this action was undoubtedly exacerbating, slightly intensifying the tearing wounds throughout his body, followed by a surge of intense pain.
Powered by this pain, his mind gradually cleared.
Looking at the bright daylight outside the window, Lynn realized that the scenes that had just appeared before his eyes were merely a dream.
At this moment, it was already the next morning.
Feeling his back soaked in cold sweat, Lynn slowly lifted his arms and vigorously rubbed his somewhat numb face.
It was unexpected to have such a strange dream.
Or perhaps, it wasn't a senseless dream but a kind of premonition from fate?
Regarding this, Lynn had no idea, feeling utterly confused, he took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions.
Then he looked up and glanced towards the bed next to him.
Tiya seemed to have already gotten up and gone somewhere; the room was empty except for him.
Maybe she was dealing with something?
But stepping back ten thousand steps.
Even if she just left , it was to be expected.
After all, what happened last night went somewhat beyond the limits of their relationship, and even with hypnosis as an excuse, she must have found it hard to accept for a while.
As for Lynn himself... even though it was exhilarating, seeing the girl covering her face and crying, he couldn't help but feel some turmoil inside.
Perhaps there was; or maybe it was something called responsibility.
With this thought, Lynn sighed softly.
Now that Tiya's whereabouts were unknown, he should consider the worst-case scenario.
With that thought, he supported his body and slowly got up from the bed, his eyes inadvertently glimpsed the full-length mirror next to him.
Looking at the pale-faced young man in the mirror, Lynn suddenly froze.
What kind of expression is this?
He shook his head, trying to dispel the empty feeling in his heart.
Although it had only been a few days, Lynn had already grown accustomed to waking up to that faint body fragrance and seeing the Elf Girl sitting at the dressing table fixing herself.
When did I become so weak?
With that thought in mind, Lynn smiled self-mockingly, then slowly stood up, leaning on the wall as he walked towards the door.
If Tiya really had left, then there was no reason for him, old, weak, and disabled, to continue struggling; it would be better to contact the Princess ahead of time and ensure his safety.
As for the Moonlight Holy Scripture that would come later, he would just have to take things one step at a time.
The moment he grasped the brass handle, Lynn, immersed in his thoughts, suddenly felt the handle begin to turn in the opposite direction.
Then he heard a "creak", and the door was opened.
The familiar faint scent once again lingered at the tip of his nose.
Lynn looked down and saw the Elf Girl disguised, holding a steaming paper bag and looking directly at him.
"Why did you get up?" Seeing Lynn suddenly appearing in front of her, Tiya was startled, a trace of unease flashing in her eyes, "Hurry back to bed and lie down."
She gently pushed Lynn inside, then looked outside for a while before locking the door from the inside.
After doing all this, Tiya came to the dining table and placed the paper bag on it.
It turned out she had gone to buy breakfast.
Watching the girl busy at the dining table, Lynn suddenly felt somewhat relieved for no apparent reason.
"Your expression is quite disgusting, are you thinking about something rude?"
Tiya, with her back to him, took out the meals one by one, her voice calm as she pointed out Lynn's oddity.
Five minutes later, the two sat at the dining table, beginning to enjoy a not-so-plentiful breakfast.
At this moment, Tiya seemed very calm, as if she had completely forgotten everything that happened last night.
