Dominate the world in three weeks?

in prison.

Regarding Lu Sien's worries about breakfast, Terrence directly dispelled his doubts: "I'm afraid we don't have time to have breakfast here."

"Aren't you going to eat?" Lu Sien looked a little disappointed.

"...Go out to eat." Thinking of Archer's love and dedication to food, it would be really sad for him to lose a free breakfast, Terrence had to comfort him.

Hearing Terrence's answer, Lu Sien was obviously satisfied, and he sat aside and stopped talking.But Lancer caught the meaning of Terrence's words.

"We, want to escape from prison?"

The guards sent by the city lord obviously had no intention of letting them go, how could they let them out after one night.Wanting to leave here, Lancer only thought of this method.

Terrence looked at the blond knight, who still kept a certain distance from him, and looked at him with burning eyes after he finished speaking.After a few seconds of silence, Terrence finally nodded and responded to Lancer's question.

Of course, Terrence was caught without a fight because he was afraid of the situation at the time.It's just that if they resist at that time, they will fall into a disadvantageous situation.

After all, the killer's sudden attack disrupted Terrence's plan.His identity is not completely disclosed to the public, and Viscount Cusack can naturally make a big fuss about it.If the three of Terrence tried to fight back and leave at that time, not only would they provoke the other party to kill them, but they would also be convicted of the "fake aristocrat" arranged by the other party.In terms of numbers, Terrence and the others had no advantage at all. It would be too risky to bet on the three of them escaping safely.

So Terrence simply followed suit and was taken to prison without any resistance.Then the position of taking the initiative will be reversed... Terrence looked at the small window above his head, and the canopy of a big tree outside covered the moon that was about to set in the west.

In view of the excessive abilities of warriors and mages, once someone among them commits a crime, the place where they are held must have a certain degree of solidity.Just like right now, Lu Sien and Lancer's weapons were confiscated and they were imprisoned in a prison mixed with silver sulfur sand, basically eliminating the possibility of them escaping.

The mages are unified under the jurisdiction of the mage association, and each branch has a special prison, and draws a magic circle to restrain the flow of magic power to prevent the sinful mage from escaping. This is actually quite similar to the heresy trial of the light church .

But it is absolutely impossible for the Viscount Cusco to send himself to the Mage Association, because he simply does not think that his deeds will be exposed faster.

So now that Terrence wants to leave, there is always a way.After escaping—he thought, Viscount Cusack could only lie on the table and weep bitterly, after all, he couldn't take his portrait and go all over the city to arrest a person who "pretended to be the Duke of Aldret".

What is needed now is to wait for the magic power that has been exhausted to recover.

Terrence leaned against the silver wall and thought about the retreat, but Lancer didn't really care much about the so-called reason.It's just that when he saw that Terrence was willing to take care of himself again, he finally let go of his heavy heart.

When Terrence came back to his senses, he found that Lancer had walked quickly to his side.

"Master, I..."

Lancer held Terrence's hand and wanted to speak, but out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the torn sleeve on Terrence's left arm.

"You're hurt."

The blond knight couldn't help but frowned.Terrence was also taken aback, following Lanser's line of sight, the wound was not obvious in the dark room, in fact, if Lanser hadn't reminded him, Terrence would have already forgotten that he was scratched by the killer.

So Terrence didn't care too much: "Anyway, it doesn't get in the way."

"Please don't say that. It's because I'm not capable enough to protect you." Lancer was obviously depressed, and he tore off his shirt to bandage Terrence's wound.

When he was in the forest, Lancer never felt that he was not suitable to be a knight. On the contrary, he thought that Terrence was not good enough to be a good master. What an arrogant idea.It was he who was wayward and unreasonable, and Terrence hadn't complained about it until tonight.Consciously, he has neglected his duty, and now even his ability as a warrior has been exposed—Lancer understands that if Lu Sien is not there today, there is no way for him to lead Terrence to escape the killer's attack.

All confidence was shattered, and Lancer had never felt so uneasy.

His bandage-knotted hands trembled, and finally he couldn't help reaching out to hug Terrence.

"Hey, hello...what's the matter?" The little duke was taken aback. He was wrapped in Lanser's arms and couldn't help struggling a bit, but the slight trembling of the other's body still forced him to calm down.

"If only we were in the forest all the time..." That way, I wouldn't find out what a coward I am, and wouldn't be so afraid of a relationship with you that's drifting away.

He would never know that for himself, he had finally found a master who was willing to dedicate everything to him.

But Lancer didn't want to express such selfish thoughts at all, it would only make him appear more embarrassed and untrustworthy.So when Terrence didn't hear what he just muttered to himself and asked "what", Lancer just straightened his body again, looked into Terrence's eyes and said, "I...please let me stay with you all the time .”

Yes, the anxiety, pain and hesitation that arise in my heart are just worries that I can no longer follow the master I have identified.He's willing to admit it and face his failure head on.

It is often said that from a person's eyes, you can see the most authentic language and the most sincere feelings.

What Terrence saw from Lancer's eyes now was the uneasiness and worry that would never appear on this man's face.

But is this his sincerity?Terrence was bewildered.

He remained silent, and this silence made Lancer even more painful.He realized that his previous behavior was a manifestation of disrespect for his master, even if his master was just a child, he couldn't justify it.I can only lower my head and say: "I am willing to apologize to you for my inappropriate words and deeds. No matter how you punish me, I am willing to show my loyalty."

"loyalty……"

Terrence's muttering made Lancer hear the suspicion in his words, and immediately raised his head and said: "I know you have always mistrusted me, but I never betrayed your thoughts. Maybe you have had something in the past— "

"I don't have a past."

Terrence actually interrupted Lancer this time.

He has also been thinking about his relationship with Lancer which is full of loopholes and dislocations. The most fundamental reason is "the past". Lancer has always stood by Angus' side.

But thinking of this, he suddenly realized that the "past" he was focusing on did not actually exist.

Several times, Terrence returned to the origin of life alone.He is the only one who remembers those almost lifetime love and hatred from beginning to end.He used the stories of his previous life to make footnotes for this life, and used everything that happened to measure Lancer's behavior, but the other party didn't know anything at all.

But even so, can he trust Lancer without any grudges, as if nothing happened and don't care about anything?

No, he can't.

The lessons of Edward Winslet are still in sight.He never gave up his trust when he was betrayed by his best friend, only to get another betrayal.Although Lancer's situation is different from Edward's, he is still unwilling to take this gamble on himself.

Terrence thought so, but his gaze fell on Lancer involuntarily.The wound on the opponent's shoulder hadn't healed yet, and when Terrence was hugged by him just now, he could smell blood.

Lancer had saved him and protected him. Terrence had never really been a ruthless villain, even if he had stirred up a bloody storm in the entire empire.

Terrence reached out and pressed Lanser's wound, and the empathy had long been broken. He didn't know whether Lanser was still in pain, but he felt sticky and moist on his hands.

"Take care of your wound first."

In the end, Terrence avoided Lancer's question and just said so.But Lancer remained motionless, looking at him stubbornly.

Inopportunely, Terrence actually bent the corner of his mouth for this.

His feelings for Lancer are actually very complicated. The other party once followed Angus wholeheartedly. It is impossible to say that he was not envious of this rare sincere feeling.Now that the other party has become his own knight, whether Terrence has a sense of superiority compared with Angus for a moment, he does not deny it.Even sometimes, he would forget about the relationship between Lancer and Angus, thinking that this person was really just his knight.

And then... Then, he was always reluctant to think more about Lanser.One day, this person will stand by Angus' side again, just like Edward always betrayed himself for Angus.Maybe before that time, Terrence will kill him with his own hands.

Terrence pressed his forehead against the wall, and said after a long time: "For you, I am not the most suitable master for you to be loyal to."

"I know you are." Lancer said affirmatively, "You will become a strong and tough person. I can see the glorious light leaking from you in the future. I just want to protect your glory."

—No, fate will tell you that I am not.

Terrence said in his heart, but he didn't want to tell Lancer any more.So he just smiled, and said according to Lancer's current hope: "Maybe." He nodded his chest, "The magic circle binds us together, of course you are my closest knight."

Lancer was stunned for a moment when he heard Terrence's words, and lowered his eyelids. Those eyes shining brightly in the dark prison were like lights that went out in an instant: "You are right..."
