Chapter 323: Chapter 209: Sorry Tiya, the Hypnosis is Fake_2
If he considered Tiya as his destined partner, then the Great Imperial Princess Hillena, in his eyes, seemed more like a goddess high above.
Even so, she was the woman he was determined to win over in this life.
Whether it was the previous hints or the seemingly ambiguous closeness from the other party, all made him feel that Her Highness actually had a fondness for him.
However, this affection was still in its budding stage, and it needed an unprecedented profound incident to trigger an explosive leap forward in their progress.
But for now, Xiya knew he was at a low point, so he could only silently lower his head.
However, before he could think of what to say next, a file was suddenly thrown into his embrace.
“Not long ago, the Military Department received a secret message from the Silent Church,” Hillena eventually couldn’t bear to scold him and had to soften her tone, “There are now clues about Tiya’s whereabouts, and currently, we are organizing a reliable and strong team for the rescue.”
“Additionally, as a woman, I will defend her… Judging from the content of the secret message, she was actually abducted by that person and was not the instigator, her heart never yielded to evil.”
Xiya instantly stood up from the bed, his eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.
“You… What did you say?!”
When Glaya returned to the Bartleion Mansion, it was already night.
Allowing the maids to help him remove his coat, he then hurried towards the council hall.
At this moment, the entire room was brightly lit.
The moment he stepped into the room, a strangely uncomfortable feeling surged through him.
Everyone was sitting in their places, their heads lowered silently; upon hearing footsteps, they simultaneously turned their heads towards Glaya.
Glaya was somewhat dumbfounded.
Usually, in such situations, he tended to blend into the background, or else he would be playfully messing with Lynn in secret, rarely being taken seriously as the second son of the Augusta Family.
But today was different from the past.
From the moment he entered the room, Glaya felt an unprecedented discordance.
“Where have you been today?”
The first to ask was his elder brother Rhein.
His eyes looked somewhat gloomy at the moment, staring intensely at him as if trying to see through this young man’s heart.
Could it be that it has been exposed?
Glaya’s heart suddenly tensed.
However, recalling Lynn’s serious expression before leaving, as if he was about to do something significant, Glaya took a deep breath.
As brothers, even if I can’t help, at the very least, I should not drag him down.
Rest assured, even if I die, I will never betray you.
With this thought, Glaya seriously said, “Today I…”
Before he could finish speaking, a hurried sound of high heels striking the floor resonated from behind, followed by a wave of cold murderous intent that seemed to destroy everything.
There was no need to look back; the trembling of his legs already told Glaya who it was that had appeared behind him.
That almost tangible worry and resentment, along with the heavy emotions so intense that even bystanders could feel the oppression.
Only a godlike person could bear not to kneel.
“North, North District.”
Even though he wanted to resist in his mind, his throat involuntarily responded first.
The next second, the intense pressure from behind immediately dissipated, and Ivyst’s figure vanished abruptly from the spot.
Looking at the others, who were still playing quails with their heads lowered, Glaya wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Having endured before that Highness for 0.13 seconds, he had surpassed 99.99% of the beings in this world; he truly was amazing.
Glaya thought silently to himself, completely forgetting the so-called brotherly camaraderie mentioned earlier.
“By the way, that single-person dungeon in the mansion’s basement seems to have been completed.”
In the council room, someone suddenly spoke.
Take care, brother, don’t get caught.
With this thought, Glaya silently mourned for someone in his heart.
Tiya gently pushed the door of the hotel room open, took off her scarf and lady’s hat, and casually hung them on the coat rack by the door.
At the same time, she casually removed the Sealed Object’s disguise effect.
With a flash of faint gloss, an elf girl with skin as fine and flawless as white porcelain appeared before his eyes, straightening her slightly curly brown hair while taking off her boots and walking barefoot towards the room.
As she walked, the slight movement of her shoulder sent a sharp pain from her cursed-infected wound, causing a slight furrow in her eyebrows.
On the bed in the room, the young man closed the book in his hands, looked up at Tiya from a distance, and smiled faintly.
Tiya hesitated for a moment, unsure what to start the conversation with, so she simply nodded.
Yet, there was a peculiar feeling.
It was as if, just like in the books, the husband returning home from hard work and seeing his wife’s smile, felt all the day’s fatigue healed.
However, the situation was somewhat reversed; she was the husband, and Lynn lying on the bed had become the wife… Wait, What am I thinking?
Tiya’s cheeks faintly turned red, thankfully the room was not lit up, only the flames in the fireplace were gently flickering.
After a moment of silence, both spoke simultaneously and then stopped abruptly.
“Nevermind, you go first.”
Lynn recovered his senses first, pursed his lips, and gestured for the lady to go ahead.
Hearing this, Tiya, not being prudish, suppressed the slight unsettling feeling in her heart and took out the bottle of Moonlight Original Liquid carrying her warmth from her pocket: “Here you go.”
