Gritting my teeth, I gave Jeluka a hard cut on the back of her neck. With a dull thud, she fainted and her little hand finally let go.

What on earth is going on? Why do I have to knock out my most precious daughter and my favorite girl within one day? What a wayward guy. Don’t you know that the person who suffers the most is me?

I kissed the burned and unconscious little black charcoal heavily on his forehead, and I picked up Jeluka who had fainted. Everyone slowly backed away, and then Farah and the two old mages he brought were there.

He started casting spells in Xiao Heitan's room.

Thanks to his foresight, if he hadn't brought anyone with him and had to take Xiao Heitan to the Mages Guild to find someone to cast the spell, it might have been too late.

The gleaming light of the magic circle kept flashing across Xiao Heitan's room, reflecting the heavy and sad faces. With a sullen face, I watched Xiao Heitan on the bed gradually being submerged in the light, unable to say a word.

come out.

The girls around me couldn't help but cry...

…

"Sir, you haven't eaten all day. Eat some." In the haze, Willas's gentle voice reached my ears.

I shook my head, came back to my senses, and looked around.

This is a dark underground hall, with magic candles on rows of seats making the inside even darker.

My butt felt a little chilly. I looked down and saw that there was a cold stone slab underneath, and I could vaguely see the inscriptions on the magic circle.

After staying for a few seconds, I came back to my senses and gradually remembered what happened today.

In the morning, Xiao Heitan suddenly felt a fever all over her body. After the examination was fruitless, she finally had to follow Akara's suggestion to seal her up and freeze her in an ice coffin again.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Heitan, who was lying in the ice coffin again, was brought to the Mage Guild. Surrounded by more than a dozen mages, they chatted for a long time without saying anything. It was not until night fell that everyone gave up the inspection, and then

.I am the only one left here.

I wiped my eyes and quickly turned around.

In the ice coffin, Xiao Heitan with a painful face came into my eyes. Suddenly, it reminded me of the situation when Xiao Heitan, who was killed by myself a few years ago, was sealed in the ice coffin. For a moment,

In between, there is some confusion in time and space, and it is difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

"My lord, my lord?" My shoulders were shaken many times, and I gradually came back to my senses. I raised my head and saw the familiar, gentle and worried face of Vilas.

"Vilas, I'm fine." I opened my chapped lips and shook my head.

"How can this be considered okay?" The worried little dog sniffed sharply, held back his tears, and showed a gentle and strong smile.

"Come, sir, eat something, so that you can have the strength to wait for Lilith." She put down the food basket hanging on her wrist and opened it. It was filled with my favorite dishes.

I subconsciously wanted to refuse, but I couldn't bear it when I saw Vilas' diligent smile. I nodded and started eating with a mouthful of soup and a mouthful of rice.

"Jeluka...how is it?"

"She is still asleep in bed." After a pause, Willas's eyes became moist again.

"Have you... not woken up?"

"Um……"

I sighed, how could that stupid, weak maid not be able to wake up after such a light blow? She was unwilling to face reality.

Soon, I ate all the soup and rice brought by Veras.

"Thank you for your hard work. You should go back first. I'll stay here for a little longer." I turned around and looked at the little black charcoal in the ice coffin without blinking. That painful face made me wish it could be mine.

superior.

"Then sir, I'm going back first."

"Um."

After a while, the expected sound of leaving footsteps did not come out.

I looked back curiously and saw Vilas standing there, with tears streaming down her face, and then she threw herself into my arms.

"What's wrong? Idiot, what's the point of crying?" I quickly hugged Vilas and gently coaxed her up.

"Because...because the adults always have a gloomy face." Vilas whimpered.

"Did my face scare you to tears?"

"No...no..." Shaking her head, Vilas supported my chest, raised her little face, and looked at me closely.

"Sir, you are the head of the family and the backbone of the family, so please cheer up, otherwise... otherwise, everyone will also..." As he said this, he started to cry like a puppy again.

I was stunned for a moment, then I clenched my fist tightly and smiled.

"I know, Vilas, I'll cheer up, so don't cry, okay?"

"Really...really?"

"Well, it's true, it's agreed." Wiping the tears on Willas's face, I nodded my head, then gently lowered my head and kissed her lips.

The usually shy puppy Veras did not refuse, but instead obeyed and took the initiative to slightly press her lips together...

It seemed that I gained a lot of courage and confidence from this kiss. After watching Willas leave, I cheered up.

Looking at Xiao Heitan, I clenched my fist again, then put my face against it and murmured softly.

"Don't worry, Xiao Heitan, this time... I won't keep you waiting this time. Dad will rescue you as soon as possible no matter what..."

I kept repeating the oath, and gradually my consciousness became blurred. The ups and downs throughout the day made my spirit extremely exhausted, and I soon fell into darkness.

Only the promise that has been whispered in the mouth is still firmly imprinted in the soul.

Then, in the darkness, when I opened my eyes, I was suddenly filled with mist and confusion, as if I had arrived in some extraordinary space.
