Chapter 200 The Rose Kiss

An Ruosi shuddered, as if someone had pinched his throat, the words in his mouth stopped abruptly.

A nervous look quickly emerged from his face.

An Ruosi didn't realize until then that the person in front of him was "Helllan" instead of "Roland".

Having been with Roland for too long, with An Ruosi's will, he has gotten used to Roland's fairy-like natural charm.But he overlooked one point, that is, those wizards who have not experienced the tempering ceremony, their willpower does not seem to be as strong as his own——

Even with An Ruosi's own willpower, he was almost seduced when he first met Roland.

...Damn, shouldn't have forgotten that.

An Ruosi's expression became obviously tense.

Although Natalia didn't show anything out of the ordinary when she had brief exchanges with other witches before...but it's different now.

Based on the premise of not knowing Roland's real gender, the behavior between An Ruosi and Roland was really too intimate by the standards of the opposite sex.

An Ruosi secretly groaned in his heart.

According to the initial agreement with Roland, he still couldn't tell Natalia that Miss "Hellland" was actually a man.

He also had some thoughts in his heart.

There must be a reason for Roland not to show up with his original identity, but to use the identity of "Hellan" to enter the White Tower at the risk of his lies being discovered.

Either "Roland" is being hunted down by someone in the White Tower, or Roland has something to do without being discovered.

In any case, An Ruosi believed that it was impossible for Roland to do anything bad.

Mr. Roland must have his own thoughts and plans.And as his friend, what I have to do is to trust him and support him——

If he revealed Roland's identity to Natalia at this time, it would be no different from betraying Roland.

This may have caused Roland's important plan to fail - if it was more serious, it might even cause Roland to die.

This is something An Ruosi absolutely cannot tolerate.

In Oak Mystery, in Singia Tavern, outside the White Tower... An Ruosi can't remember how many times Roland saved him.And he couldn't pay back.

The only thing he can do is to silently support Roland behind his back.

Without Roland, he would have died countless times.

Gratitude--

An Ruo thought about this sentence, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

...Although I will never betray Mr. Roland, but...

"...Mr. Roland, can you get up from me?"

An Ruosi said in a very low voice from Hellan's ear.

"Helllan" showed a look of fear.

She didn't reply to An Ruosi's words, but just crawled out of his arms.Shrinking and grabbing the corner of An Ruosi's clothes, he used An Ruosi's body to hide himself.

When An Ruosi meant the meaning of this action, it was a little late——

The back of his neck was grabbed, but he didn't feel much pain, but he felt like his vitals were being held.

"You can, An Ruosi?"

Natalia pressed An Ruosi on the back of the neck very roughly, and pressed An Ruosi's head down a little bit.

But her voice was colder than her hands: "Did you start thinking about your lover just after getting engaged? You really deserve to be a great wizard in the future."

"Wait, wait... I can explain..."

An Ruosi trembled, and turned around with a smile.

What broke him down was that at this moment, Helllan stepped forward bravely and stood in front of him tremblingly.

"Please, please stop!"

Hellan raised his head and stared at Natalia, and uttered a timid, crisp but firm voice: "Sister, please don't hit An Ruosi... Everyone, please don't be rough, can you just say it well..."

The black hair and ice-colored eyes that only Su Ze could have made Natalia have a natural affection for this girl.Her clean eyes, dress like a small animal and her delicate temperament made Natalia feel a little more fond of her.

Even, her height is less than 170, which is relatively short among Su Ze's girls.

This made Natalia wonder whether the girl was an adult.

"Your name is Helan... How old are you this year?"

"I, I am sixteen..."

The girl who was as clean as snow was swept away by Natalia's gaze, and immediately trembled, lowered her head, and replied in a low voice.

Immediately, Natalia's gaze at Hellan softened a little, and she obeyed her words and let go of the nape of An Ruosi's neck, which was tightly grasped.

An Ruosi did not feel relaxed at all.

After getting Hellan's answer, Natalia looked at him even sharper.

If Natalia was only expressing anger and dissatisfaction before, now she is looking at scum.

There is no doubt that An Ruosi's mood is broken at the moment.

...Mr. Roland, why are you causing trouble at this time? If you can't handle it, you can run away. Here, Mr. An Ruosi can handle it——

——But I don’t know what to do if I ask you to do it like this!

"I also felt quite strange at first." Natalia took a step back and stared at An Ruosi with her hands folded in front of her chest. "Based on what I know about you, you probably don't have the guts to do such a thing." Such an outrageous thing... No, let alone doing such a thing, even if it makes you think of it, you can't think of it."

"It's none of my business," Robert interrupted suddenly. "They've known each other since I met them on the outskirts of the Iron Curtain."

"Don't quibble, you can't get away with it."

Natalia did not hide the disgust in her eyes, and turned her head to stare at Robert suddenly with the gaze of a large group of non-burnable garbage.

Afterwards, she turned her head and stared at An Ruosi, her gaze was as sharp as a knife.

"I'll give you another chance. Where did you trick this kid?"

"I found it in the oak fan lock..." An Ruosi spread his hands and replied with a wry smile.

As expected, An Ruosi's answer did not satisfy Natalia.

"An Ruosi, you have to remember, she is only 16 years old! She is still a child!"

Natalia scolded An Ruosi loudly like a knight. Regardless of the girl's weak resistance, she grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her to her side.

"Good good..."

Natalia perfunctorily pulled Hellan from behind her.The waist-length black-haired girl puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction: "I kissed An Ruosi, just yesterday—"

Wait, sister, that's called artificial respiration!

An Ruosi almost cried.

"Varied--"

Natalia was furious.

"That's it!"

Before she could react, Heerlan kissed her on the forehead.

This behavior made her cool down.An Ruosi couldn't help but also heaved a sigh of relief.

Compared with kissing, kissing the forehead is not an outrageous behavior.Even the Titans have the etiquette of kissing their friends' foreheads.

But let her make such a fuss, Natalia really didn't have the mood to stay any longer.

"Herlan, you come with me. I'll find a way to put you down first..."

"wait wait wait?"

Natalia grabbed Hellan's right arm with her left hand and pulled her away.

An Ruosi couldn't help feeling a little flustered seeing Hellan being dragged away by Natalia.

He wasn't worried about Roland, but about Natalia's safety.

He wasn't very worried about Roland's character.

But An Ruosi was afraid that Natalia would make Roland anxious, so Roland stabbed her to death...

The scene of Roland beheading the ghost girl in the Tomb of Thousand Heads was still echoing in An Ruosi's mind.

"Wait, Natalia..."

As soon as his words came out of his mouth, Natalia frowned and turned around with a stern face.

"You don't need to say anything. I just want to have a heart-to-heart talk with little Herlan... As for whether you saved her or lied to her, I will make my own judgment."

"Can……"

"Don't worry about Helan, you have to trust Natalia, she won't be rough on girls..."

Before he could say anything, Robert came over from the side, grabbed An Ruosi's shoulder directly, and comforted him.

An Ruosi couldn't break free for a moment, and saw Natalia leading Helan across the street corner, and he couldn't catch up.

He could only show a wry smile.

How else could An Ruosi explain it?Said that he was not worried about Hellan's safety, but about Natalia's safety?

Robert and Natalia didn't know that Helllan was actually Roland, a priest with silver-level strength...

"Ugh……"

In the end, An Ruosi could only turn the depression in his heart into a sigh.

But at this moment, an elegant and steady young voice came from behind them——

"Long time no see, An Ruosi."

……who is it?
For a moment, An Ruosi couldn't find the owner of this voice in her mind.

So he put aside his worries about Natalia for the time being, and turned his head in doubt.

What came into view was a tall, elegant young man with black hair and black eyes, wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

……It's him?
Due to different reasons, the pupils of An Ruosi and Robert suddenly constricted.
