Salted Fish Mage Survival Log [Through the Book]

Caesarline didn't know that during the time he had just returned to his room, a small gap had been opened in Vincent's defense against him because of that nightmare.

Vincent's room is naturally not the one where Ludwig once wanted to put him under house arrest.

After Caesarline discovered Vincent's resistance to that room, he quickly ordered someone to rearrange a new room.

The new room is not far from the study. Vincent can go to the study to read at any time, and he doesn't need to walk through the long corridor to reach his destination.

When Vincent was satisfied, Caesarline was also satisfied. He also directly moved out of the luxurious and spacious master bedroom and lived in the outer bedroom of Vincent's room.

Vincent naturally also dissuaded Caesarlane. After all, as the lord of a country, how can Vincent live in the inner bedroom and the emperor live in the outer bedroom?Generally speaking, the emperor lives in the inner bedroom, and the king's wives and concubines live in the outer bedroom.

Such constructions are the customary style of royal and noble families.

If the emperor wants to pamper his wives and concubines, he can open the door from the inner bedroom to the outer bedroom. The door connecting the inner bedroom and the outer bedroom can only be opened by the inner bedroom.

This means that Caesarline cannot enter Vincent's inner bedroom, but Vincent can easily go to Caesarlane's outer bedroom if he wants.

Vincent threw his body into the soft bed to relieve the soreness from the hard and cold stone chair.

He had just laid down when he realized that Caesarion hadn't left yet, so he sat up with his still heavy body and asked, "What's wrong?"

Caesarline's hesitant to speak, obviously has something on his mind.

"You are going to go to that underground labyrinth soon, Vincent." Caesarion pursed his lips.

He took a few steps forward, opened the chair beside him, and sat next to Vincent, his slender and white hands crossed as if he was thinking about how to speak.

After going through the nightmare just now, Vincent is no longer so evasive towards Caesarline.

Or maybe his sanity hasn't fully recovered yet, now Vincent watched Caesarline quietly and took a deep breath, then slowly opened his lips: "I will go to the underground labyrinth with you."

"——No, it's too dangerous!" Vincent resolutely refused just after Caesarion uttered the first sentence.

Leaving aside the fact that Caesarline had just held a coronation ceremony and ascended the throne, in this state system where everything centered on the emperor, every move of Caesarline was related to the future of the empire.

Seeing Caesarline's silent expression, Vincent added in a soft tone: "After all, you are already the king of a country, let alone what to do with the country's government affairs during your absence. The underground labyrinth is very dangerous. You can't have an accident in there—"

However, Vincent kept silent while talking.

Caesarline was no longer the wet and weak child in Vincent's own memory. The majestic power from him and the firm texture hidden under his tall figure were enough to prove Caesarline's strength.

Vincent even dared to say that Caesarlane's strength was so strong that even the recognized strong among the mages might not be able to match it.

Since danger is nothing, Caesarline doesn't need to worry about political affairs.

He has gathered a group of capable people under his command, all of whom are capable. In the original world line, Caesarline can freely fight around. It is precisely because his subordinates sit in the capital and provide Caesarline with a steady stream Continuous food and weapons, as well as stabilizing the foundation of the country.

"...You are all ready." Vincent leaned back and rubbed his hair helplessly.

Since Caesarion would say such things to himself, he must have been fully prepared.

"Yeah, I've been preparing for the handover a few days ago." Caesarline smiled, not surprised that Vincent noticed this.

After all, Vincent was his mentor who accompanied him for most of his teenage years, so he naturally knew him well.

"I want to go with you. I want you to know that I am no longer the weak and weak Caesarline. I want you to see my change, and I want you to know that I am worthy of your sincerity." Caesarline shook hands naturally. Holding Vincent's hand on the mattress, let his fingers fit together with Vincent's slender hand, and then bent his knuckles to clasp Vincent's cold hand.

Caesarion smiled shyly, his face as fair as a snow rose was flushed with a blush.

His icy blue eyes shone with waves, as if the ripples from the calm lake on the Sevier Plain were blown away, and they were going to float all the way to Vincent's heart.

Caesarline seemed to have practiced it, and this time he spoke his mind to Vincent smoothly.

"I know that you may think that I am naive than you, that I am not perfect, or that to you, Vincent, I may be just a young kid... I also know that I have too many shortcomings .But Vincent, I want to be with you forever, I want to fall asleep looking at your face every day."

Obviously listening to these should be very touching words, Vincent thought of such a confession sentence inappropriately. He seemed to have seen it in "One Hundred Sentences of Love", and it was still a rudimentary love sentence.

However, in this world of poor entertainment and stagnant information circulation, Caesarline probably deliberated on what he said for a long time, and only said it to Vincent when he felt that it was sincere enough.

"Wherever you want to go is your freedom, and it is everyone's birthright." Vincent finally just replied softly.

"And even I can't stop you from exercising your rights." Vincent said seriously.

Caesarline heard Vincent's words and knew that it was Vincent's awkwardness.

When Caesarion was still in Vincent's mage tower, he often heard words such as rights, responsibilities, freedom, and laws from Vincent's mouth.

In Vincent's narration, Caesarline seems to be able to glimpse a corner of Vincent's inner world.

It is a free, equal, respectful and beautiful world.

Good people live in peace, and bad people are punished.

Even with different appearances and races, everyone can understand and help each other.

Even the aristocratic nobles and the emperor standing at the top of the country have to combine their own likes and dislikes to determine the fate of others.

Caesarline once held the book Vincent threw to him and thought about it seriously.

If he lived in such a world, then wouldn't his sister need to be dedicated to Ludwig I, and wouldn't he need to appear in front of Vincent in such a humiliating gesture?

Thinking of this, Caesarion couldn't help but blushed slightly.

When he first met Vincent, he was covered in muddy water, but Vincent was a proud and elegant archmage.

When Vincent looked down at him, Caesarline almost thought that he had returned to his hometown. The moonlight fell on Caesarline and Vincent's hair and shoulders, everything was so beautiful and quiet.

Although such a first encounter is probably the result of Caesarline's beautification in constant memories.

But I have to admit that when he propped himself up from the ground and looked up at Vincent, he was indeed shocked.

After all, it was rumored that Hyperion the Harvester who once claimed tens of thousands of lives, everyone thought that Vincent would be tall and strong with a ferocious face.

Even though Vincent and Ludwig I had ambiguous rumors of love affairs, more people thought it was just Vincent's special preference, and Ludwig I wanted to keep Vincent's combat power. It's just aggrieved and bowed his head.

Although Caesarline dismissed these gossips, when he knew that he was going to be sent to Seville Plain to become Vincent's disciple, the rumors circulating among his former noble classmates rang in his mind.

Probably because of this, when he first met Vincent, because of the gap between reality and imagination, Caesarlane was in a state of turmoil.

"I know. But I want you to know." Caesarion stared at Vincent with a smile, and the honey that was about to overflow from his eyes nearly killed Vincent.

Vincent's eyebrows moved slightly, and he looked at the bouquet on the right side of the bed. It was the flowers that the maid Rem put on for Vincent every day.

Caesarline was not angry when he saw Vincent avoiding his gaze.

Because he knew it was just Vincent's shyness.

Although someone who was not familiar with Vincent might think it was a silent rejection, but Caesarion was different.

Just as Vincent knew him, Caesarline knew Vincent.

"Although I don't know what you are worried about, that's why you don't want to...but I will wait patiently." Caesarline stood up and prepared to leave for the time being.

Vincent responded and watched as Caesarion opened the door leading to the outer bedroom, and his figure disappeared behind the door covered with gold leaf.

After sitting on the bed for a while, Vincent finally realized something as if he had been belatedly aware of it. He suddenly lifted the quilt and wrapped his whole body in the soft quilt.

The white quilt was light and soft, covering Vincent's face like snowflakes.

But no matter how much it looks like snowflakes, this quilt can't be like snowflakes, bringing coolness to Vincent's cheeks and body that suddenly rose in temperature.

(Calm down, Vincent! Didn't you just think that the love words Caesarline said were just routines! Don't waver, don't lose your calm!) Vincent covered his hot face with his hands, trying to lower his cold hands This shameful temperature.

However, it was still a drop in the bucket, and Vincent's cold hand was warmed by the heat from his cheek.

After taking a few deep breaths, the beating heart in Vincent's chest gradually returned to normal, and the temperature on his face also dropped.

——Although part of the credit is due to the ice elemental elves who noticed that Vincent's mood swings were too great, so they gathered here.

These small and transparent elves crawled into Vincent's puffed-up bed, and looked at the crimson face of the mage who was favored and loved by them like vermilion fruit, and worried about Vincent's body.

As the elemental elves whose lifespan is as long as when this world was born, they have seen too many favored children who died young because of their fragile bodies.

——Human beings are very fragile and need to be well protected.

That's why they will always be by Vincent's side.If Vincent's mood swings are too violent, they will also perceive and respond accordingly.
