Failed To Abandon The Villain

After that greeting, Vallett’s mind gradually drifted away. She just laid down helplessly.

The sound of her breathing immediately changed.

Therion, who was watching from the side, widened his eyes.

“Stop!”

Reinhardt’s eyebrows knitted at the loud voice that he had heard. Fortunately, Valletta had fallen deeply asleep and did not react at all.

He caressed her earlobe with his fingers once more, then slowly moved his gaze towards the child.

The tenderly curved eyes disappeared, and coldness was the only one that remained in his red eyes.

Reinhardt’s fingers slowly touched the child’s neck. He gripped the child’s neck in a way that it wouldn’t hurt, and slowly opened his mouth.

“When Master is sleeping, you should be quiet.”

A cold voice was heard by the child. In that darkness, only his red eyes were visible.

Therion was terrified for a moment, he swallowed his breath and barely nodded his head.

Reinhardt then let go of his neck, and straightened up his slightly bending body.

“You will be quite useful.”

“… Yes?”

“It’s a very unusual situation. I think it’ll be better if you learn the sword rather than magic.”

Therion tilted his head at Reinhardt’s words. Even with his eyes trembling in bewilderment, Reinhardt did not bother to add any kind words.

His purpose for coming there has been achieved. He just needed to organize something and look at her face for a while.

“Did your patience run out prematurely?”

Reinhardt’s shoulder trembled at the reassurance her reckless remark gave him. At least those words won’t make him feel bad for a while.

She made him realize a feeling he didn’t know before.

She would need to take responsibility for the things she had done up to that point.

Getting out of the board and running away was unforgivable.

“In the morning, even if it’s a little noisy, she won’t hear a thing, so don’t wake her up and wait for her to get up.”

“Ah…”

Therion looked at the sleeping Valletta and Reinhardt in turn.
