It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 557: The Witch's Whisper

Chapter 557: The Witch's Whisper (4700 words)
Melendal, the main city.

After finishing the morning affairs, Luo Wei accompanied Lovelli to various urban areas to confirm the specific situation.

The streets were filled with joy, and people had regained their spirits. It looked like a happy scene, with everyone talking and laughing.

At least that's how it was before I met them.

"Your Highness the Queen!"

Sif, the leader of the White Bell Knights, rushed over, her face looking as if she had just been scolded, "You... you'd better not come to the street now. I'm afraid it will give you a bad impression."

The knights' reactions also showed why the nobles were opposed. In the past few days, they continued to carry out orders to keep the people vigilant, but they were met with contempt and countless rejections.

Lovelli could naturally see what was going on.

"Don't mind me," she nodded, "thank you for your hard work, now let the next batch of knights come to relieve the guard."

"No, no need!" Sif's face turned red as she was scolded. "We promised that we would give you our lives even in times of crisis. These are just trivial matters. Please allow us to stick to our duties. I, I can still do it!"

It's not a good feeling to be treated coldly.

What's more, she is the eldest daughter of a noble family. She has never suffered such injustice since childhood. Any commoner who dared to insult her would have been chopped to pieces by her father long ago.

"I trust your judgment," she said, trying to calm herself down. "I am not doing this just to obey orders, but I believe there are reasons why I have to do this. Please trust me a little more. Even if I am scolded, I will still follow you as always!"

"I received your determination."

Lovely looked at her and said, "So I will share the responsibility with you."

"...!"

Sif looked up at her in surprise, and the haze in her heart was immediately swept away.

"It is an honor for us to serve a monarch like you!"

She quickly stood up with a knight's salute, then nodded to Luo Wei, turned around with her head held high, and continued to carry out her mission.

Lovely also stared at her back, "The daughter of the Halliwell family is a slender but determined person."

At this moment, the door of a house on one side opened from the inside, and a little girl holding a teddy bear stood blankly at the door.

Lovely still remembered the other person.

But this time, when she wanted to go up and say hello, she hesitated.

The little girl quickly ran away from the door. Loveli showed a look of surprise and lowered her head slightly. It was indeed not an easy task to gain the understanding of the people.

However, the next moment, the little girl appeared there again. This time, without stopping, she ran straight out of the door and came to them.

In her hand, she held a small flower.

"For...you." She said in a babbling voice.

"Eh?"

Taking the flowers handed over by the other party, Loveli's eyes trembled and she looked at the other party in some disbelief.

"I know...Princess, you are a good person!"

"!"

Loveli couldn't control her emotions for a moment and went forward to hug her gently. However, at this moment, the girl's parents appeared at the door, calling their daughter reluctantly.

After listening to her parents, the little girl quickly ran back with the teddy bear.

Seeing the light in her eyes, Luo Wei turned his head and said, "It seems that not everyone believes in you."

"Is it even such a young child?" Luo Fuli smiled, finally cheered up a little, and then said contemptuously, "You say that's my peers, I'll beat you up in the street?"

Luo Wei retracted his expression helplessly.

I didn't say that last time...

After walking along the street for a distance, dozens of people suddenly blocked our way in groups near the roads on both sides.

Luo Wei glanced at Irus who was guarding the other side, his eyes darkened, but what these people said was different from what he thought -

"Fifth Princess, we believe in you!"

"Me too. My house was burned down on the night of the fire. If it weren't for the shelter you provided, it would have been me and my family who would have been burned to death there."

"We know that many people are doubting you right now, but please be brave!"

"I also called everyone I know to come and watch yesterday's lecture!"

"...!"

Lovely's eyes widened slightly during their conversation.

However, soon, the knights in front of the surrounding houses were turned away and the doors were rudely closed by the residents.

"..."

Lovely raised her eyes without minding and nodded to the people who came to support her.

The crowd quickly dispersed after meeting the princess.

In this situation, because there is no actual evidence, not many people are willing to believe in Love's martial law order. Even so, she believes that people will not really ignore the things she has repeatedly emphasized.

"Huh, now that you know this, it's not a big deal." She said with her hands on her hips.

"Yes, yes. You are a genius princess after all."

"Yes, this princess is a genius! No doubt about it!"

However, after being rejected five times in a row, the genius became autistic.

No one in this city respects me at all (▼皿▼#)!

Luo Wei couldn't help but smile as he watched her go from one extreme to another. But in fact, maybe she was overconfident in her abilities sometimes, but she was definitely not someone who would give up halfway.

The three of them kept checking the conditions in each city until nightfall before returning. There had been no movement from Red Needle Man during these days, and Randall wasn't sure whether he had woken up or not.

The entire royal city——

Except themselves, it seems.

There is nothing worthy of being called abnormal.

……

That night.

After returning to the manor, after a busy day, Lovelli was not discouraged after seeing the current situation of the city. Instead, she continued to deal with clerical matters with great energy.

The more people questioned her, the more she insisted on doing it.

Especially when she patiently advised people in the store not to sell the Fire Amulet now, but to keep it and sell it when the price was higher, but no one paid attention to her, it directly aroused her rebellious psychology.

So she bought back all the amulets at a low price and asked each knight to hang three around their necks, which scared many people so much that they bought them back overnight.

Let me ask the Second Prince, does he have qualities comparable to his?

And Luo Wei would not let her suffering be in vain.

He has privately collected evidence that Scarlett had people spread the word that the disaster was over, although it would be useless to bring it out now, and the Second Prince's statement would cause the public to further relax their vigilance.

But if something really happens in this city, guess who the public anger will be directed at in the end.

So don't think that he won't fight back. The accounts are all recorded. If he is now relying on public opinion to add fuel to the fire, don't blame him for his sinister tactics when the time comes.

However, all this really needs to be proven that he is right.

What are you insisting on? As Goodman said, this is a road where no one knows what you are still insisting on.

Luo Wei laughed at himself.

He stood at the door of his room, and after showing this expression for a short while, he was about to open the door when a voice from not far away called him.

"have time?"

Irus asked.

Luo Wei looked over a little unprepared, then nodded.

The two came to the witch's room.

The furnishings here were the same as last time, with the furniture spread out so thickly that it looked a little crowded. Should I say that she felt surrounded and at ease? It was like she had a small house in the quiet forest that belonged to her alone for the past thousand years, with everything she needed to make her feel at ease.

"Did the research on Gui Wu Hai's tentacles yield any findings?"

Luo Wei did not forget what happened when he came here last time, but he did not want to mention it deliberately. Instead, he wanted to avoid it.

"No."

The witch said lightly.

Then she took off her coat, walked past him in the narrow corridor without any hesitation, and came to the table to pour two cups of black tea.

"I just noticed that you've been busy dealing with clues lately, and your brows are always very heavy." She handed one of the cups over and gently held the bottom of her own cup. "If I remember correctly, tomorrow is the final of the elite competition, right?"

"Yes... so?"

It's not that he didn't remember that he had said he would be too ashamed to see her if he didn't win the championship, even if it might have been just a joke in her eyes.

The witch shook her head.

"Nothing, just thought I'd give you a good night's sleep."

Luo Wei reacted belatedly.

He didn't look at her with surprise, but looked a little embarrassed. Rather than saying that she was suddenly kind, it was better to say that his condition had reached a point where she could see through him at a glance. If she hadn't mentioned it, I'm afraid he would still be holding on. He really didn't sleep well these days.

Or rather, no sleep at all.

He used the night time to contact the Funeral Hermits and the Yin God Sect. At least he could be sure that both parties were well prepared, which might even affect the vigilance of the underground world in the downtown area and the church city. Unfortunately, there were no new clues here.

"Thank you for the trouble." Luo Wei nodded.

If I still reject her at this time, it would be a bit ungrateful. After all, she doesn't necessarily have to make such a suggestion, and there is no need to go through all this trouble.

In fact, because he had been concentrating so much these past few days, he didn't even have the mind to do anything like that.

"Then lie down."

Irus pointed to her lounge chair. Luo Wei now knew that there was more than one such chair, so he lay down on it without any hesitation.

She wanted to help him sleep.

She did this originally because she was grateful to Conggui Wuhai for pulling her back, but this time...what was the reason?

"Relax."

"..."

Hearing her footsteps, just the soft sound of the bottles and jars coming over was very relaxing. Irus gently stroked his brow with her hand, and Luo Wei couldn't help but close his eyes.

"Let me trim your hair and eyebrows first."

"…it is good."

After a short wait, the sound of the scissors opening gently came in front of me, followed by a very slight click. The feeling of my hair being cut was also very reassuring.

"Hehe...I think Vimir always did this to you in the past."

"Um..."

The first time a witch cut my hair.

Thinking about it, I feel a little indescribable. I don't know how she will cut my hair, but it would be a lie to say that I have no expectations at all.

After all, this is the trace she left behind.

"Come to think of it..." Irus smiled faintly, "I heard from the delegation that you were going to torture Qianyue's female assassin obscenely, and she is ready to devote herself to you?"

Luo Wei: "..."

Why is it that this kind of thing always spreads so widely?

"But you didn't do that, did you?" the witch said softly, "Do you ever refuse a piece of meat that's right in front of you?"

"..."

After hearing this, Luo Wei didn't know what she was thinking for a moment.

Could it be that all this is being done to him now because he doesn't flirt with other women and accept all the rewards that come his way...?
I guess I'm just overthinking it.

After cutting the hair, the next step was the eyebrows. Luo Wei didn't feel that she cut a lot, just the part around the eyes was trimmed off, so that he wouldn't have to go to the battle with Ryan with a bald head tomorrow.

The eyebrow razor rustled gently, and her palm pressed on his cheekbone. It was obviously the same action as Vimir, but the two gave people completely different feelings. The witch had more of a distant feeling.

Not too close.

It won’t be too far.

It makes people want to accept more of this kind of treatment.

The witch applied the melted warm ointment near his temple and gently helped him to soothe his pain with her hands. Luo Wei's brows gradually relaxed and his thoughts settled down as his nerves relaxed.

"..."

Perhaps this state is more conducive to thinking.

Under the witch's gentle movements, Luo Wei closed his eyes and reviewed everything that happened in the royal capital from beginning to end.

……

after an hour.

Irus gently put down the finger that was beside his ear and couldn't help revealing a slightly self-deprecating look.

"Is it because I can't make you fall asleep?" She smiled.

“No—this…”

Luo Wei, who was still very awake, opened his eyes.

He didn't think it was the other party's fault at all. In fact, he felt that he couldn't find any more relaxing treatment in the world than this. It was just that there was something pressing on his heart, like a big rock, forcing him to stay awake. He couldn't accept the fact that he could close his eyes and fall asleep.

"You are too tense," Irus said. "Does the thing that worries you in your heart make you so uneasy?"

"sorry, I……"

"Haha... It's okay. I don't hate it. It's more like I'm very impressed."

"Yeah?"

He opened his eyes, but he couldn't see clearly because of his upside-down view.

Irus left his sight at this moment.

"It seems there is nothing I can do for you." She walked aside and began to pack up the bottles and jars she had taken out, picking them up one by one and putting them back into the basket.

Luo Wei got up from the recliner with some shame. It was rare that she had good intentions, but it probably wouldn't be nice to continue staying here and disturbing her. So after thinking about it, he took two steps towards the door, but then stopped there. He turned his gaze to look at the figure, then turned back again. He didn't know what he was thinking.

Just when he decided to step out the door.

"Come to think of it, if you are so energetic," the witch said nonchalantly, lying on the recliner with her back to him, "I think the soothing effect last time was pretty good."

Something in Luo Wei's heart broke.

He turned back without hesitation, bent down with his face buried in his forehead, and gently took off her heels with his hands.

pat, pat.

With two gentle sounds, the stone in his heart seemed to fall to the ground.

Gazing at the slender feet that were looming in front of my eyes, the black haze was like an abyss. I held them up with both hands in fascination, unable to extricate myself, even my breathing followed them closer.

"..."

Irus looked down at him, a dangerous smile on her lips.

She did not break his concentration.

It seemed to be isolated from the outside world, and the only thing left in the world was the obsession before my eyes.

He meticulously stuck it to the sole of the foot, slowly rubbing it across the curved forefoot and toes through the socks, as if he was playing with a piece of extremely precious and priceless jade.

Eluse: "..."

Haha... Who could have thought that this would be the case after a thousand years of long night.

Sniffing the fragrance secretly and unintentionally was the poorest cover-up. When I realized that she was so close that even my breathing seemed hot, my soft toes bent but did not show any more intention of rejection.

This was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

After a brief pause, the irrepressible urge to sniff deeply became apparent, greedily filling the lungs, rising again and again with greater force.

It seems that only if this part is deeply imprinted, and even the most inferior side of refinement and beauty is taken as one's own, can one prove that only one is qualified.

"Hehe...what excuse are you going to use this time?"

His breathing only paused for a brief moment, and then he had no more worries and buried his breath deeply between his fingers.

Eluse: "..."

"..."

Eluse: "..."

…………

……

At night.

After the frantic breathing, he was now sleeping on the recliner, as quiet as a harmless child.

Irus sat quietly beside him, staring at the face.

Then she gave a bitter smile, and facing this face, her expression which had lasted for thousands of years began to waver for the first time.

Sorry, I actually knew what the whole thing was going on from the beginning.
