Chapter 114 Abandoned
Hard, hard fist!
If it wasn't because she couldn't beat him, Natalia felt that she really wanted to beat the guy in front of her.
After taking a few deep breaths and calming down her surging emotions, Natalia wisely didn't discuss the previous question too much, but said directly:
"Although you can indeed protect Ayesha with your strength, doing so will not do you any good, but may increase your burden."
"I can't think of a reason for you to do this, so I can't believe you."
Eros raised his eyebrows. Reason? Leaving one of the containers of God's Descent in front of him, isn't this reason enough?
If Ayesha still stayed in the academy, he could use Ayesha to roughly judge the time of God's Descent.
Although it may not be accurate, the probability of one percent is enough for him to gamble.
For example, if Ayesha was suddenly transferred to other tasks, he could guess whether the Moon Worship Cult was preparing to hold a God's Descent?
Then he could notify the tribesmen in Intilis and temporarily run away to avoid the limelight.
Even if it turns out that it wasn't a god's descent, it doesn't matter if it's a misunderstanding. They won't lose anything. It's better to be cautious.
Another point is that he actually wants to help Ayesha. He has been raising her for so long and has developed feelings for her.
If she dies just because of carrying the god's descent, it would be a pity. What a lovely girl.
Of course, he would never tell Natalia these reasons directly, so Eros just spread his hands and said in an exaggerated tone:
"I am Ayesha's father now, right? Don't treat stepfather as father. As a father, isn't it normal for me to protect my daughter?"
Natalia: "..."
"Why are you looking at me like that? Isn't what I said true?"
Seeing Natalia staring at him, as if she wanted to see through him, Eros snorted.
Natalia retracted her gaze. She couldn't see through the shadow on the face of the man in front of her.
It is impossible to judge whether the other party is telling the truth or lying by the other party's eyes or expression changes.
That is why she cannot gamble the other party's character with the safety of her daughter.
Immediately, she was about to reject the proposal of the remnant of the night in front of her and was ready to give up the task.
However, just when she was about to speak, the words of the remnant of the night in front of her made her a little shaken.
"If you don't believe it, I can swear to my ancestor, the goddess of the night. Although she has fallen, I don't need to explain the binding force of this oath, right?"
Natalia's eyes flickered. This is an oath to a great man, and the other party is his descendant.
Unless he wants to tarnish the nobility of his ancestors and tarnish his great bloodline, otherwise, he will not violate this oath.
And will the remnant of the night tarnish the nobility of his ancestor, the evil god of the night?
No! These fanatics of the night would rather die than do this.
"What is the purpose of doing this?"
After a long silence, Natalia asked with a trembling voice.
"Didn't I say it? Isn't it natural for a father to protect his daughter?" Eros chuckled and repeated the previous words.
Natalia was silent again, and after a long time, she let out a long breath and said:
"Then I'll leave Ayesha to you!"
"Don't worry! I will definitely take good care of our daughter." Eros' tone was full of confidence.
When Natalia heard the words "our daughter", she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and the whole person was a little unnatural.
But she didn't refute it, just turned her face to the side, not looking at the remnant of the night in front of her.
"Aren't you going to untie them?"
Natalia saw the two people tied up by the shadow tentacles from the corner of her eyes, so she asked.
Eros glanced at the people he had tied up, then at Natalia. After thinking for a while, he talked about something completely unrelated:
"I found that I was the one who took the initiative to kiss you before, but you never took the initiative to kiss me."
Hearing this, Natalia said expressionlessly: "What do you want to express?"
"If you take the initiative to kiss me, I will let them go! How about it?" Eros's mouth curled up, with a little temptation in his tone.
Natalia looked at the remnant of the night in front of her in silence. Although she couldn't see the other person's face clearly, she could guess that the other person must be smiling very hatefully now.
After a long time, Natalia sighed lightly, held the man's shoulders in front of her with both hands, raised her face, and stood on tiptoe.
...
After a long time, Natalia took a few steps back. She had a pretty face and said in a cold tone:
"It's okay!"
"Of course~" Eros chuckled and snapped his fingers after saying that.
The next second, those shadow tentacles disappeared, and at the same time, the shadows covering their faces also disappeared.
As soon as Ayesha regained her sight, she immediately ran to Natalia's side, looking at the mysterious remnant of the night across from her with a vigilant look.
Although she had met him several times, she had never dared to let her guard down against him.
Especially that night, the other party sneaked into her room in the middle of the night, tied her up with tentacles, and then did some strange things inside her body.
On the other side, Richie and Onig were a little restless and could only look at Natalia.
After all, they knew that after the last incident, Natalia and the guy in front of them seemed to have reached a cooperation.
Natalia received the gazes of her two teammates, so she considered her words and said with a complicated expression:
"He... is now our temporary ally in the mission!"
Eros shrugged and said, "It seems that my presence makes you very uncomfortable~"
Richie and Onig's mouths twitched slightly. It's not very uncomfortable, it's very uncomfortable, right?
Of course, they only dared to think about this in their hearts and didn't dare to say it out loud.
Natalia glanced at the man in front of her, and she almost wrote "You know it yourself" on her face.
Eros sighed a little disappointedly and said, "Okay! Then I'm leaving?"
No one spoke!
Eros: "..."
"Then I'm really leaving?"
Still no one spoke, Eros sighed again when he saw this, and disappeared from the spot with a sullen look.
Seeing him disappear, Onig and Richie quickly scanned the trees around them.
After finding no human figure, they slowly breathed a sigh of relief, but they still dared not completely let go, after all, it was difficult for the remnants of the night to be discovered in the dark.
In fact, they were overly worried, because Eros was really gone.
Although there was no gossip today, as long as Ayesha stayed in the academy, there would be many such opportunities in the future, so why rush it.
On the other side, Ayesha saw that the mysterious remnant of the night had left, and she asked her mother again:
"Mom! Do I still need to lurk?"
This time Natalia did not hesitate, and nodded directly:
"Don't worry! When necessary... he will protect you, this is one of the cooperation conditions I reached with him."
Hearing this, Ayesha looked a little embarrassed, she was quite resistant to the remnant of the night.
After hesitating for a while, she told her mother that the remnant of the night sneaked into her room some time ago, tied her up and did some strange things.
Of course, she whispered to her mother, and Richie and Onig on the other side could not hear it.
She didn't tell her mother about this matter when she met her mother several times before, mainly because she was afraid that her mother would worry, but now she felt that she had to tell her mother about it.
Although the remnant of the night said at the end that he would discuss the matter with her mother, who knows whether what he said is true or false.
Natalia fell into silence after hearing this. She looked at her daughter in front of her, who still looked a little worried, with a complicated look in her eyes.
After a while, she touched Ayesha's hair, restrained the inexplicable emotions in her heart, and whispered to her daughter:
"I know about this matter. He told me about it."
Ayesha was shocked. She didn't expect that what the remnant of the night said was true. He really went to discuss it with her mother.
Since this sentence is true, then what he said about his mother agreeing to his confession, is that also true?
Ayesha felt a little scared for no reason in her heart, afraid that the sentence was also true.
What she didn't know was that while her little brain was thinking about it, her mother was looking at her with pain in her eyes.
"Ayesha, he said you were abandoned by the goddess. Did the goddess really treat you as an abandoned child..." Natalia whispered in her heart.
She raised her face and closed her eyes, as if she didn't want her daughter to find out that she was losing control.
