Because Chris went to take care of Ivan who ran out inexplicably, only Terrence and Lancer were left in the room.

The sudden knowledge of the truth made the two of them feel a little awkward with each other.Terrence frowned worriedly. Although intellectually speaking, he knew that the magic circle with Lanser was only of practical value, but the skin on his chest was still hot.It's been a long time since I was shaken by someone's words like this.

As for Lanser, he himself was even more silent, for fear that if he opened his mouth, he would expose the disturbing thoughts about Terrence in his mind.

Because the atmosphere was too depressing, Terrence leaned against the table and coughed, and said, "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I plan to leave here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it first.Originally, I just wanted to find a random topic, but I didn't expect to say that it was something I wanted to delay until the end.

But now that he has said this, Terrence simply adjusted his mood and continued: "It has been a lot of days since I was held hostage, and whether it is Aldrett or the imperial capital, I don't know the situation. What kind of changes have taken place. Especially when Alderete is in turmoil, I have to go back quickly."

"...Yes, you are right." Lancer came back to his senses and nodded. "Captain Evan is also looking for you, but unfortunately he got separated from me halfway."

Terrence looked into Lancer's eyes, was silent for a moment, and said, "But you have to..."

Just as he was halfway through his words, Ivan suddenly rushed back aggressively.

Terrence and Lancer Qiqi looked at the young swordsman who was holding on to the gate and gasping for breath.

Ivan ran out of the wooden house and didn't stop until he reached the nearby river.

He sat on the bank with his knees crossed, his reflection reflected in the slightly undulating surface of the river.Putting his hands on the ground, Ivan leaned close to the river and looked at his shadow carefully. After a long time, he muttered: "Damn it, I can't see it clearly! Is my face red or not? It's too embarrassing!"

"It was really embarrassing just now." Chris came from behind.He sat down beside Ivan, and turned his head to look at the boy's stiff side face. "You're still the same, you come here whenever you have something to do. Is this kind of straightness honest or stupid?"

Ivan pursed his lips unhappily.

Chris didn't care about Ivan's temper, and asked calmly: "Why did you run out? I thought you were mature, but since that boy came to the village——do you like him?"

"Where, where is there?" Chris asked unexpectedly, causing Ivan to raise his arms to cover his mouth, but the upper half of his face could still see signs of embarrassment.

Ivan felt his cheeks start to heat up again, and finally lowered his head in frustration: "Yes, a little... I didn't realize it at first, because I thought Terrence and you... well, but it's not like he doesn't have a lover now Can't I like him?"

"..." Chris' brows gradually frowned on his expressionless dull face. "You've only been in contact with him for a few days, why did you fall in love with him so quickly?"

After he finished speaking, he realized that his question was a bit tough, and immediately added another sentence: "I can't understand."

Ivan put his chin between his knees, looked at his intertwined fingers, and said a little confusedly: "Face... um, no, it's temperament? Anyway, I can't tell. Do you have to have a reason to like someone? ? I just like him!"

"...But he is not suitable for you." Chris thought for a while, and said stiffly. "He is not from our village, and he will leave here one day. You and he are not from the same world at all."

"Huh?" Ivan turned his head abruptly.

"He definitely won't stay here." Although Terrence hadn't heard a definite answer yet, Chris nodded affirmatively.

"I don't want it." Ivan stood up suddenly.

He left Chris behind and ran back, as if Terrence had already left after taking a step behind. Ivan slowed down when he ran to a place where he could see the wooden house. He strode forward and pushed open the wooden door.

"Are you leaving?" Ivan panted, but his eyes were fixed on Terrence.

"...What's the matter?" Terrence frowned slightly. He finally talked to Lancer about the key point, but was suddenly interrupted, and he couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

Ivan didn't notice Terrence's face, or he ignored the past subconsciously, and said, "Can't you leave? Isn't it good to stay here? Aren't you very happy here?"

The crease between Terrence's eyebrows was deeper. The question Ivan asked was the source of his troubles. Being asked so persistently by the other party made his mood drop to the bottom, so he said bluntly: "Sorry, I haven't to old age."

His eyes moved to Chris who was following him, and his face finally sank completely: "I will seriously consider your request, but it's all because of Lancer. Don't you think it's too ugly to be so aggressive, and it's not what a gentleman would do. Why?"

He mistakenly thought that Ivan's request to stay was instigated by Chris, so he couldn't help but get angry.He was not such a kind and generous person, and what Chris said to him last time had made him unhappy, but as he said himself—he was thinking about Lancer, so he could pretend not to care.But this does not mean that he has to endure the pressing of the opponent.

Terrence's cold tone caught Lancer's attention. He walked up to Terrence and held his shoulder, asking Chris, "What happened?"

——That was a subconscious maintenance gesture.

Chris saw it at a glance, just as he had noticed, Terrence's influence on Lancer was really too deep.

Terrence exhaled, suppressed the tumbling emotions, turned around and said to Lanser: "Continue what you said just now, just let Mr. Chris listen together - I plan to leave here alone, you stay. That's it."

"What?" Lancer asked in disbelief. "No, I'm asking, why? Did I do something to offend you? Or was it my—"

"Can't you be quiet for a while?!" Ivan finally couldn't stand it and shouted in a low voice.He didn't understand why he just wanted to ask Terrence to stay, but why it turned into the current situation; he couldn't even understand why the other three people present became tense-as if he was the outsider.

"Why are you angry?" Ivan looked at Terrence in confusion and sadness.The other party was his green first love, so it made him restless and sensitive. "I just want you to stay. Does it bother you? Or does it bother you that I like you?"

It took Terrence a few seconds to realize what Ivan said in the last sentence, which made his eyes slightly widen.After a brief moment of surprise, Terrence raised an eyebrow, and was about to reply to this unexpected confession.Lancer moved one step ahead of him and pulled him behind him.

The blond knight was like a food protector, blocking Terrence with his tall and straight body, and said in a deep voice: "Master is the Duke of the Empire, and it is impossible to accept other people's feelings easily—let alone this feeling comes from a person of the same sex. Yi Fan, don't add unnecessary trouble to him."

Lancer said righteous words, but in fact, the palms of his hands were already sweating.While he spurned his sanctimoniousness, he also felt pained by the excuses he made.

Ivan opened his mouth to speak, but Lancer stopped him first: "It's already very late, and it's not suitable to talk about it today. Let's talk about it tomorrow if there is anything else."

Chris looked into Lancer's eyes meaningfully, and put his hand on Ivan's shoulder.

"Your brother is right, Terrence won't disappear overnight."

He patted Ivan, but before he left, he looked straight at Lancer and said, "You don't know much about the life contract, and I'm afraid you don't know how to untie it, right? If the two of you want to separate, I can help."

The author has something to say:

Lancer suddenly tightened his hand holding the door, and asked dryly, "What, what?"

"It seems that you really don't know, so your contractor doesn't know either, right?" Chris glanced at Terrence and said inexplicably, "It's too dangerous, isn't it?"

Chris quickly took Ivan away, leaving Lancer standing there with his back stiffened.

Although he didn't know why Terrence said he wanted to stay, Lancer always believed that the relationship between himself and Terrence was close, and it couldn't be cut off with just one word from the other party—but it was all based on the relationship between them. Life and death are connected.

But what Chris said gave him a very heavy blow.

Lancer didn't dare to turn his head, for fear that Terrence would ask him something.

In the end, it was Terrence who spoke first, but he just said something lightly: "It's really getting late, you go back, I want to rest."

"Owner……"

Terrence was silent for a while, sat down on the table, and unbuttoned the first two buttons of his shirt. He thought for a while and asked, "If you can undo this formation, would you be willing?"

Lancer took a step forward subconsciously, but stopped abruptly, and instead of answering Terrence's question, he said, "I won't disturb your rest."

As he said he was about to leave, Terrence continued behind him: "I don't intend to cancel. There are dangers around me. If you don't cancel this contract, you will definitely be implicated by me, but I am so selfish. Ke Reese said that Ivan has always missed you and hoped that you could stay. I know the pain of not having a loved one by my side, so I decided to agree to him. But I only give you three years, and you must come back to me when the time comes——Lan Se, I'm such a selfish person. Do you want to break the contract?"

"Of course I won't!" Lancer turned around abruptly, walked quickly to Terrence, knelt down, and kissed his fingertips. "I am your knight, of course I am willing to be bound by you. No matter what I can dedicate to you... But I can't let you leave here alone. You also said that you have to face too many dangers. I How can I stay here with peace of mind. The guilt for Ivan is on my shoulders, please let me walk with you no matter what."

"...Are you an idiot?" Terrence looked away embarrassingly as Lancer's eyes were full of emotion.

"Don't you always say that about me?" Lancer replied softly.

...Chris is a silly dad who counts pennies and pennies _(:3∠)_
