Blood stained his clothes, and the upright Rhodes was caught in Claire's sight.

"Rhode..."

Claire pursed her lips and stood up with difficulty.

She saw the blood stains on Rhodes' clothes, and her pupils shrank imperceptibly.

The guilt that immediately arose immediately occupied her heart.

The malice of the world struck her heart hard.

Because of her incompetence, she had to let Rhodes take risks.

The girl fell into great wavering and panic.

Rhodes sighed helplessly. He came quickly enough. Unexpectedly, Claire was not injured on the outside, but because of her forced control of magic, Claire wanted to break through the shackles of the Demon Sealing Stone. As a result, her magic power was exhausted and her physical strength was reduced. weak.

Using the void blade created out of thin air, he cut off all the shackles on Claire's hands, leaving her without support, and held her in his arms just as she was about to fall.

"Feel sorry."

Leaning against Rhodes' body and feeling his warmth, Claire lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.

"There's no need to apologize. It's me who's grateful. You worked hard enough." A soft halo emerged from Rhode's hand and slowly merged into Claire's body.

The bruises on his hands that were pulled out by the chains disappeared visibly.

"Just rest, as long as I'm here, there won't be any problem."

The comforting words could not help but let go of the nervousness that had been tense throughout Claire's life.

She still had a lot to say, but a sudden sleepiness swept over her, and Claire's mind fell into a deep sleep.

"What a lucky guy. Lord Rhodes, you can condense your pure magic power to cleanse your body."

Alpha suddenly appeared and saw a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes as he watched Claire being held by Rhodes in the form of a princess hug.

"You have done it once before, so there is no need to be envious anymore." Rhodes said amusedly.

"An individual's fate has been fixed from the moment of birth. I just help you to raise it to the maximum limit you can bear. If you want to sublimate, you need special luck. For you, there is no need to go to that step yet. "

"It's just a pure yearning. For us, this is a favor." The palm of Alpha's hand burned with black flames that seemed to melt the void. That was something that ordinary magic power simply couldn't do.

"We have left a part of you in our bodies. It only leaves us a trace of magic power. It takes a lifetime to master it. We don't dare to ask for more. But at present, we lack the space to exert ourselves."

"Judging from your tone, you've made your decision?"

When Alpha heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed a helpless expression: "It seems that I can't hide anything from you."

Alpha said solemnly: "I plan to disperse the members of the Shadow Courtyard all over the world. In addition to collecting information about our enemies, I also plan to train them so that they have the qualifications to meet the seven seats."

Alpha was not so much explaining to Rhodes, but rather speaking to his own heart.

"Under the protection of Lord Rhodes, we can certainly find long-term stability, but our mission in the Shadow Courtyard is to protect Lord Rhodes. The two are the other way around. In the past, when I enjoyed the peaceful daily life, even I couldn't help but feel lost. Among them, the ridiculous idea that 'maybe it would be good to live leisurely for the rest of your life' was derived."

"It's because you've lost that you desire it, and there's no shame in having that thought."

"But the ever-present pressure has always been with us. We are immersed in it and afraid of losing it. Others have slowly developed the idea of ​​'will they be abandoned'."

Rhodes agreed with Alpha's words. All fear comes from one's own shortcomings.

"Just go ahead and do it! I'm not your nanny. Everything has to go through a process of growth. Don't feel that you are betraying me. Since you are scattered all over the world, you can collect intelligence from all over the world for me. But is there any Young man, longing to be crowned the 'only' in the world."

"The only one?" Alpha looked at him puzzled.

Seeing that Rhodes didn't explain, Alpha wrote down the meaning of his words and left with complicated thoughts.

The kidnapping incident finally came to an end. Rhodes sent Claire back to her room and put her on the bed. Looking at the girl's peaceful sleeping face, it was hard to imagine that this was the stubborn Claire in the past.

Under the thin pajamas, you can vaguely see the place where the plumpness first appeared. There is no idea of ​​taking advantage of others. Even if there is, it should be fair and aboveboard.

Rhodes thought for a while, then pulled the covers over her, opened the door and walked out.

His movement was naturally heard by others, and was immediately reported by the servant to his panicked parents, causing a small-scale shock.

Claire's parents rushed over in a hurry. Rhodes excused the incident with a random excuse, but anyone who was not blind could see the blood on Rhodes' body. Although he repeatedly emphasized that it was not his, he still let his adoptive parents adopt him. Feeling sorry for this.
