I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

"Brother! I'm back!" Thesis shouted excitedly as he entered the door.

His brother heard the sound, came out of the room, and asked with a smile: "Why are you so happy? Is there something good?"

Thesis said with a smile on his face: "Medusa agreed to my proposal!"

His brother looked at him in surprise, then smiled with relief: "Really? That's great! Congratulations, brother."

Tessis danced with excitement: "Yes! I'm so happy! She finally wants to be my wife!"

His brother patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is really good news. But you have to cherish her."

Tethys nodded vigorously: "I will! I will take good care of her!"

My brother smiled and said, "Well, I believe you can do it. By the way, when are you going to get married?"

Tessis scratched his head and smiled sheepishly: "We haven't discussed it yet. We have just confirmed our relationship and we still need time to prepare for the wedding."

My brother nodded in understanding: "Yes, after all, marriage is a major event in life and needs careful consideration. However, no matter what time, I will fully support you."

Tethys hugged his brother gratefully: "Thank you, brother! Without your support, I don't know what I would do."

The two brothers hugged each other tightly and shared the joy.

As time went by, the two brothers were very busy, making various preparations for the wedding. According to local customs, the engaged couple needed to be separated for a period of time, which made both of them reluctant, but they could only endure the pain of separation temporarily. During this time, the younger brother and his fiancée kept in touch through letters, sharing each other's daily life. Although they could not meet, their hearts were always closely connected.

Thesis often imagined that the day would come when the man would come to propose marriage. He and his brother would arrive at Medusa's door with a decent betrothal gift.

The family warmly welcomed the brothers and invited them into the house for a detailed discussion. After some discussion, the two sides reached an agreement and determined the date and details of the wedding.

However, when he arrived breathlessly, the scene before him made him freeze on the spot as if struck by lightning - this place turned out to be an empty, lifeless house! The home that was once full of warmth and laughter was gone. He stared at all this with wide eyes, unbelievable, and an indescribable fear and despair surged in his heart.

After asking around, he learned that Medusa was forcibly taken away by the local lord, and his mother was mercilessly beaten to death in a fierce resistance. This news hit him like a bolt from the blue, making him so painful that he could hardly breathe. He felt that his world collapsed in an instant, and all his hopes turned into bubbles.

The father, filled with deep remorse and regret, chose to end his life by banging his head against the wall. He could not bear the pain of losing his wife and daughter, and could only express his despair in such an extreme way.

Tethys stood in front of the ruins, his eyes blurred with tears, his fists clenched tightly, his nails dug deep into his palms, as if he wanted to release all his anger and sadness.

He had never encountered such a thing before and didn't know what to do for a moment. He walked home numbly, but was surrounded by a group of uniformed people at the door.

They declared in a threatening manner that Thesis had committed a crime and emphasized that they had come to arrest him in accordance with the laws of the kingdom.

These people looked serious, full of a sense of justice and mission, and seemed to have solid evidence of Thesis' crimes.

They were dressed in gorgeous and solemn costumes, obviously representing some official agency or organization.

They are armed with sharp weapons such as swords and shields, ready to fight any resistance. This tense atmosphere makes people feel uneasy and fearful, as if a fierce conflict is about to break out.

However, how could the two helpless brothers be their opponents? Facing a group of wolf-like enemies, they seemed so weak and powerless. Thales was pinned to the ground and unable to move; while Thesis suffered even more cruel treatment. He was mercilessly arrested and thrown into a cold prison.

In that dark cell, Thesis felt endless loneliness and despair.

He didn't know whether he would ever see the sun again, nor did he know what his fate would be.

Thales was trapped in the same place, unable to help his brothers. He was filled with self-blame and regret. If they had been stronger, perhaps they would not have ended up like this.

Every day Thesis would shout his injustice outside the cell, but the jailers completely ignored his voice and just treated him as a madman or a criminal.

They even treated him as a vicious criminal like other prisoners and ignored his cries. Every time Thesis cried out for justice, the jailers just looked at the cell indifferently and then turned away, as if his voice was just a noise.

Thesis felt extremely desperate and helpless. He knew that no one was willing to listen to his explanation, and no one believed in his innocence. He began to doubt whether he could really prove his innocence and whether he had a chance to regain his freedom. However, despite such difficulties, Thesis did not give up hope.

He firmly believed that one day the truth would be revealed to the world, and he would be cleared of the charges and walk out of this dark cell. So he continued to cry out for justice every day, and even if he did not get a response, he wanted to make his voice heard.

As time went by, Tessius's voice became hoarse, but he still persisted. He told himself not to be defeated by despair, and he must stay strong and wait for the person who could hear his voice and believe in his innocence to appear.

If there was anything that could keep him crying, it was only his longing for Medusa. It was a deep and endless emotion that surged into his heart like a tide and could not be suppressed.

Every time he recalled her smile, her gentleness and her kindness, his heart would feel like it was being torn apart. This longing was like a sharp sword, piercing his soul and making him unable to let go.

At the same time, Thales' figure always lingered in his mind. Whether it was day or night, whether he was busy or idle, Thales was always lingering in his mind. He was always worried about whether Thales was safe and whether he was hurt.

This worry is like an invisible thread that tightly binds his heart and makes him unable to break free. These emotions are intertwined and become a part of his life, which he can neither ignore nor get rid of.

They were like a heavy burden, weighing him down, but he was willing to bear it all because of his love for Medusa and Thales. This love was so strong that he was willing to sacrifice everything for it, even his own life.

When the day finally came when the prison gates were opened, what awaited Thesis was not freedom, but eternal imprisonment.
