Chapter 444 : The Princess In The Heavy Rain

"Brother Felyn, I was wrong."

Dorothy quickly changed her tune, "You shouldn't like any of the clients except for me, right?"

Right?

Right right?

Brother Felyn, why aren't you saying anything? If you just say "yes," then nothing would have happened.

Dorothy looked up, staring at Felyn's lips, not daring to breathe.

Felyn's face, Dorothy had already memorized it in her heart.

What he was going to say, what he was thinking, Dorothy could roughly guess.

Dorothy guessed that Felyn was going to say no.

Felyn originally didn't want to speak at this time, and he didn't want to do this.

But just like a confession, once the other person has spoken, you have to respond.

Because not responding is in itself a response.

Once it involves a problem like a contract, Felyn must answer with extreme caution.

Even if he might have to bear Dorothy's anger, even if he might be handcuffed by Dorothy, he had to make it clear to Dorothy.

"Dorothy, I..."

But Dorothy wouldn't give Felyn this chance.

She blocked Felyn's lips with her finger, and two lines of tears dripped onto the carpet, shattering into pieces.

Felyn didn't want to see Dorothy's expression at this moment. Even the flash of lightning from outside the window couldn't bear to fall on her face.

Her long, pinkish-purple hair streaked through the air, and the scent of green apples crashed onto Felyn's body like raindrops.

"Dorothy..."

The petite figure dodged Felyn's outstretched hand. She ran all the way, running towards the door.

The guards at the door saw the princess rush into the rain without an umbrella and quickly wanted to follow.

"Don't follow me!"

"But Your Highness..."

The guards stood in the rain, put down their long spears, and watched the pinkish-purple figure gradually blend into the heavy rain.

What's wrong with the princess?

The scene at the door was not seen by too many people. The banquet hall was still as usual.

"Felyn, wait, where are you going?" Daiyi grabbed Felyn's hand, stopping him in time.

"Dorothy has just recovered her magical power, and her body is still very weak."

Last time at the hotel, after Dorothy transferred her magical power to him, although she didn't use a wheelchair, her body was still affected.

The feeling of autumn rain falling on one's body is very unpleasant.

"I'm going to give her an umbrella."

Daiyi's hand tightly gripped Felyn's wrist. She knew that in a scene like this, something would definitely happen between the two of them.

But... do I really have the right to ask about Felyn's life?

"An umbrella is useless. The wind is very strong today, you'll still get wet." Daiyi beckoned, and a guard brought her her handbag.

"Here's a sigil for sheltering from the rain." She handed the sigil to Felyn, looking into his eyes, "What a pity, I originally wanted to use this sigil with you. On a rainy day, two people have to be very close. A scene like that is very romantic."

She glanced at the heavy rain outside the window, and her shoulders slowly relaxed, "Felyn, don't fall too hard for Dorothy."

The rainy night in the Royal Capital district was magical. It was also the first time Felyn had seen it.

The magical power lingering in the air would attach to the thick clouds and flow back to the earth with the rain.

This heavy rain was mixed with purple, making it difficult to see the road ahead.

However, this did not mean that being in the rain could increase one's divine affinity. If that were useful, people would just gnaw on magic crystals directly.

The rain-sheltering sigil was very effective. It was essentially a defensive sigil, isolating a small space around Felyn.

The question was, where would Dorothy run to?

In the vast imperial palace, Dorothy was far more familiar with it than he was.

If she hid under a tree, by the lake, or in an attic, he would never find her.

"Dorothy, Miss Zervanie is also here today." Felyn sent a message to Dorothy.

Zervanie, Dorothy's former idol, should be the most attractive to her.

Felyn didn't know if this would work. If Dorothy didn't look at the sigil, then he would still have to search for her everywhere.

But fortunately, a petite, pinkish-purple figure peeked out from under a tree not far away. After seeing that there was only one person beside Felyn, she quickly hid back.

Felyn wouldn't let this opportunity go.

He ran to the tree in a few steps and saw the rain-soaked Dorothy.

She was squatting under the tree at this moment, her long, pinkish-purple hair hanging wetly on her body, without a trace of vitality.

She looked up at Felyn, her face already indistinguishable between tears and rain.

The princess at this moment was like a stray cat soaked by the rain, shivering under a tree.

The cold rain mercilessly took away her body temperature, making her lips turn a little purple.

"Dorothy, it's easy to get struck by lightning under a tree."

Felyn didn't say any extremely gentle words of comfort. He knew that Dorothy needed to vent right now.

"Then let it strike me dead. I'll turn into a ghost and I can be with Brother Felyn forever."

"Don't say such scary things." Felyn couldn't help but touch his neck, feeling a chill.

"Hmph, then I'll stay by Brother Felyn's side forever. I'll drive away everyone around Brother Felyn." Dorothy hugged her body tightly, her voice trembling from the cold.

"Aren't you already a ghost? How can you still help me drive them away?" Felyn also squatted beside Dorothy, using the sigil to cover both of them.

Dorothy opened her mouth, feeling that it was indeed so. She could only bite her lip hard, her cheeks puffed up, making people want to poke them.

"Brother Felyn, I know what you're going to say. It's nothing more than that you never liked Dorothy, that everything you did for me was just because of the contract."

"And then you'll say to me, Dorothy, let's not see each other again. After the contract ends, let's just pretend nothing happened, okay?"

"Is that it? Brother Felyn."

Dorothy had her back to Felyn, her voice filled with the dampness of the rain.

Her gaze drifted aimlessly into the distance, trying to find a place where she could stay in the hazy rain and mist.

But she couldn't find it. The rain was vast, and the world was swallowed up in it.

Even though she had already given up on herself, she still held out hope in her heart.

She hoped that Brother Felyn would say, "It's not like that."

"Dorothy, I..."

Wait, is Brother Felyn going to reject me?

Is Brother Felyn going to admit what I just said?

This-this is not what I want.

The moment Felyn opened his mouth, Dorothy suddenly sobered up.

What Felyn had just said in the banquet hall had made her lose her senses, but after calming down in the heavy rain, she remembered what she should do.

This is my Brother Felyn, this is mine alone. I can't let Brother Felyn leave.

"Dorothy?! Calm down first..."

Dorothy was very calm.

She wouldn't be like the other young ladies, sitting here obediently listening to Felyn's words, waiting to be rejected by Felyn.

She was Dorothy.

Felyn's remaining words came to an abrupt end. The world was left with only the sound of rain.

Their figures disappeared after a flash of purple magical power.

Only the sigil that Daiyi had thrown to Felyn was left, slowly drifting down in the air, and finally sinking into the mud.
