Rhines approached the overwhelmed grass hesitantly. It was August, and the grass by the river beach grew extremely densely, so the collapsed piece could be seen even from a distance.
Is that a... small child?
In the eyes of many people in the Duke's Mansion, Rhines is always indifferent.As the duke's illegitimate son, all the servants who unconsciously approached him because of his appearance would be severely punished by the duchess.
She is an aristocratic daughter who married far away from the imperial capital, and it is already a great kindness to tolerate her husband's illegitimate child living under her nose.Not to mention watching Rhines live happily every day in the Duke's mansion.
So the more wretched Rhines was in the duke's mansion, the happier she was.
Over the years, Little Rhines had only a handful of exchanges with other people. Over time, in the eyes of those who didn't know the inside story, rumors that the beautiful illegitimate son in the Duke's mansion was cold-tempered spread throughout the mansion.
But in fact, Rhines is actually very soft-hearted.
He himself was an unwanted child who was also used to being around other squishy little creatures.He wouldn't even refuse the begging of cats and cats in the Duke's mansion, let alone a seriously injured child who appeared in front of him now.
Rhines squatted down in front of him, and the scarlet silk skirt fell to the ground in an instant, the color seemed to blend with the blood.
What formed a strong contrast here was his clean legs, which were immediately exposed to the sun. They were empty inside, and one could even feel the tough stems and leaves under a thin layer of cloth.
Even though Rhines uncomfortably pulled the hem of the skirt again and again, it only made the clothes with the neckline face down even more.
If this was a suburb outside the imperial capital, his appearance would probably be mistaken for a stray warbler deliberately posing to seduce the young masters.The kind that would be a little embarrassed to comply with the request, and clip the received banknotes into the sock ring.
No one will come, Rhines comforted himself in his heart, not to mention the child in his arms seemed to be dying.
The blood stained on the thick green grass stalks had dried into blood scabs. When Rhines picked him up, he could clearly hear the sound of the grass stalks being torn off.
This is where the Sauk family hunts. Even jackals and wild boars are very common. This child may have lost his way from a nearby farm.
The child looked about ten years old at most, with large and small wounds scattered on his limbs like fish scales, and the wounds looked very strange—as if they were split from the inside.
It wasn't a knife wound, a bite mark or any other common wound, Rhines suddenly had a weird feeling...
Last night, a creature that was so bloody and bloody that its race could not be distinguished climbed onto the river beach. It drifted over from the far side of the strait, and it had exhausted its last bit of strength to get here.
The bones in the chest cavity supported the newly grown translucent film, and under the moonlight, the blood-red heart was beating and beating.Looking down, the abdominal cavity is full of half-digested fish corpses.
He curled up, and the bones slowly made a muffled sound. From then on, all the bones from the head, cervical spine, and ribs began to shrink and fold.
If there are human beings watching, they will be stunned by this terrifying scene like a demon descending.
But the only one watching this scene is a stray hare.
It's very strange, it seems to be bewitched by something, which is clearly a vegetarian by nature, and this simple and soft little thing suddenly smells an extremely attractive aroma - from that mass of flesh and blood.
So it hops closer.
The next moment, the sharp finger bones pierced through its skull...
The next moment, a cold hand grasped Rhines' slender neck, and the oppressive feeling at that moment made Rhines freeze in place.
He looked at the creature in front of him, the skin under his hands was delicate and soft, the most expensive velvet did not have such a texture.Under the thin layer of skin, fresh and warm blood flows in the blood vessels.
The shark's venom storage pouches were slowly filling up on both sides of his neck near his chin, and he could feel the heat from Rhines' body.
This represented ample nourishment, just what He needed right now.
"...Did it hurt you?"
Reines didn't think that the little hand that could only hold half of his neck would be dangerous, but he softly coaxed the child to pat his back, "I'm sorry, I'll be gentle."
As long as he softens his voice a little like now, it will look like a baby.
If he was willing to use such a voice to communicate with Herbert, little Rhines' life at Sauk's house would probably be much easier.
Just as Rhines was about to scoop up some water to clean the child's wound, the hand suddenly moved to his shoulder.
Immediately afterwards, he used his strength to climb up, and within a second, Rhines met a pair of ice-like dark blue pupils.
... is a very beautiful child, even though he is still young, the sharpness in his eyebrows and facial features is enough to see.
Rhines looked at the person in front of him in a daze. He didn't know why, but he was a little... frightened.
It always feels like the kid wants to bite him.
Those inorganic blue pupils just stared at Rhines for a while, and he suddenly moved a little closer.
Rhines subconsciously pursed his lips and leaned back, his back immediately pressed against the thick tree trunk.Only then did he remember that in order not to be exposed to the sun, he moved both of them under the shade of a tree.
So Rhines has no room to hide back now.
...But, it should be fine, what am I thinking.
Rhines suddenly realized how ridiculous his evasive action was just now, he was just a seriously injured child.
Probably because he was overly frightened before, but now he has such a strong sense of alertness.
"you……"
The cold tip of his nose suddenly touched his lips.
He put his hands on the shoulders of the innocent sacrifice, just like all the sea monsters in the legend did to humans, and pulled himself up a little.
Then he carefully sniffed Rhines' breath from his slightly parted lips.
Just like a wolf cub can never hide his elongated canines like a puppy, the sense of oppression belonging to the top predators under the deep sea cannot be covered even if the body is still in its infancy.
Rhines himself didn't realize that his hands holding the child were trembling slightly, and even his snow-white toes curled up to clamp a grass stalk.
"……What are you doing?"
He began to want to throw the child down.
But he doesn't care what the prey thinks at all, even if his current body is so broken that he can only keep moving, catching a human is still easy.
But the problem is, the person holding him seems to be exuding a very sweet breath.
So sweet that it gave him the urge to build a nest.
It's just a little leaked out by breathing, and he is a little unable to judge.
So he bit Rhines' lip.
"Well!"
The child's thin and thin teeth pierced the small piece of skin immediately, and Rhines, who was naturally afraid of pain, was forced to have red eyes almost instantly.
Immediately afterwards, the small wound was iced.
It wasn't enough for him to bite himself, he even stuck out his tongue and licked it.
!
Rhines covered his lower lip, hands and feet and moved aside, tearfully looking at the child on the ground looking up at him.
If it were someone else, he might have to slap him on the head.But Rhines probably never had the concept of resistance, he was always weak, and resistance would not only hurt others, but also make himself more painful.
So he was aggrieved and dazed for a while, and whispered, "Why are you like this..."
As if what someone did to him was infinitely more serious than taking a bite.
He propped up his body with his newly grown arms, the tip of his tongue hidden in his mouth slightly pushed up to his jaw, and sucked that bit of blood into the merman's unique vomeronasal organ——
This is a silver tail.
Even if the human breath is strong enough, the little bit of sweetness hidden deep in the genes is still easily captured.
very pitiful.
He stared at Rhines, from his green left foot to his delicate ankle, the slender human legs were exposed outside the dark silk dress, probably a little force could break him.
Struggling to stay away from him just now made the skirt's role as "clothes" even weaker.Now Rhines looks like a small decorated pastry, which was accidentally left on the lawn.
Without the protection of the shark's hard scales, the poison sac shrank and the teeth were blunt.Even the bone spurs that should have appeared on the waist and elbows were gone.
Soft and soft, anyone can go up and tease it.
Humans have not raised him well, he thought.
If he hadn't discovered it, this silver tail would have died tragically on the day of adulthood, because the human body was incompatible with the sudden transformation of the merman's tail.
very pitiful.
But this is good, even though the silver tails play the role of breeders among the mermaids, they are mermaids after all.It's just that compared to the violent and bloodthirsty black tail, the cruelty of the other variegated mermen is cooler.
They don't like being cooped up in the nest by their mates, and they don't like being filled every moment.It seems that they are incompatible with the whole ethnic group.
But in contrast, male black tails always have infinite possessive desires, and they don't even allow other people to peep at their food and territory.If possible, in the sea area where the lair exists, it is best to be nothingness.
Just him and his partner are fine.
Rhines' throat moved, and he saw the child he had just thrown onto the lawn crawling towards this side, and the grass blades pressed under him were immediately stained with another ominous color by blood.
"Don't come here, you..."
He had no choice but to move closer, "You have injuries."
He leaned his head against Rhines' palm, and rubbed it in a flattering or reassuring manner, probably apologizing for his actions just now.
Children of this age should really understand guilt.
Thinking about it carefully, he was also frightened, so he subconsciously attacked strangers...
Rhines softened his heart a little, and softly discussed with him, "Then you can't bite me anymore."
Is that a... small child?
In the eyes of many people in the Duke's Mansion, Rhines is always indifferent.As the duke's illegitimate son, all the servants who unconsciously approached him because of his appearance would be severely punished by the duchess.
She is an aristocratic daughter who married far away from the imperial capital, and it is already a great kindness to tolerate her husband's illegitimate child living under her nose.Not to mention watching Rhines live happily every day in the Duke's mansion.
