624 Companion 1
Lily's POV:
I was secretly changing the concept, but Yarin didn't notice.
He was very reluctant to let go with him, but who asked to have sothing on him?
"You know you have no choice, right?"
I decided to add fuel to the fire. "If you don't do this, I'll report you. This word seems a little serious. But, I'll report you to the Queen anyway. And you know what your choice will put you in, right? The chances of you succeeding by yourself are minuscule. With around, at least I can help you when you're overwheld by rage."
"You're so an," Yarin said reluctantly.
A few seconds later, he finally decided and said, "I still can't agree to you coming with , Lily. This is not a small matter. You might really encounter life-threatening danger. I can be responsible for myself, but I can't drag you down with ."
This kid's words were pleasant to hear, but I still put on an angry expression. "So you're not afraid that I'll tell on you? I'm not joking, little brat. I'll only be grounded for a few days if I'm captured. If you're captured, I'm afraid you won't be able to go out on your own for a year, right?"
Yarin frowned. I knew I had hit his sore spot.
But he was very stubborn and would not relent no matter what.
Alright, alright, then I'd be the only one to submit.
"I'm not forcing you to agree to anything," I softened my voice. "But I can't watch you go through all this alone. You're my friend, Yarin. I can't do that."
"To put it more coldly, you are a prince, and I am your subject. If others find out that I knew what you were going to do but did not stop you, even if the Queen is rciful, I will have no choice but to accept the punishnt. Would you please bring along? You need a helper, and I'm your only choice."
The mini boy sat on my palm, his head lowered, thinking about sothing.
"When I'm alone, it's easy for to decide on sothing. But if you're here, I'll hesitate," he said.
I felt a little soft in my heart. " too. We're always more willing to think of others. That's good."
"... You can guarantee your safety, right? If anything happens, don't worry about and run first, okay?"
"I could take you down with one arm, kid! When the ti cos, you'd better look after yourself!"
But he had to make nod in agreent."Protect yourself. I beg you, Lily. This has nothing to do with you. I'm really afraid that you'd pay any price for ."
Looking at the sincere little person in my hand, I sighed slightly.
Sotis, I wondered if Erin was really a prince. Why hadn't he learned anything about the extravagance and debauchery of the descendants of nobles? Even children from ordinary families would be disgusted by cats and dogs at this age, but Yarin was so mature that sotis even I was speechless.
Although I didn't agree with his thoughts, I still had to coax him. "Alright, since you've put it this way, I have no other objections. When the ti cos, everyone will protect themselves and care for their own lives. How about that?"
Yarin didn't seem to believe , but like how I couldn't do anything to him, he couldn't do anything to .
"So the first step of the plan is?" I brushed past the subject as if nothing had happened.
Yarin said, "First, we must return to the villa. I know little about the Lily of the Valley, so I must steal so information first."
"Return?" Looking at the security guards changing shifts, I couldn't help but frown. "This isn't easy. Do we still have to use the thod just now?"
"Yes, that's all I can think of and do. I hope the security guards don't suddenly have the idea of installing fluorescent lights in the entire courtyard. If that happens, we won't be able to pretend to be our lawn."
We moved imdiately and quietly crawled along the raised lawn without further ado.
Lying on the cold ground, I could feel the subtle vibrations caused by the security guards walking back and forth and their conversation in a low voice.
There was the occasional sound of tal clashing. Those lethal firearms were waiting to show off their might to any suspicious person.
Perhaps it was because I had a guilty conscience, but I always felt more uneasy when I returned to the manor than when I ca out. It was as if sothing was about to happen.
I couldn't help but move even more gently, imitating a cat moving silently.
However, just as I predicted, an accident still happened.
A security guard with a gun noticed the movent in the shadows. He walked closer, hoping to see more clearly. At the sa ti, he raised his gun.
Oh no, we were about to be discovered!
A series of ways to get out of this situation flashed through my mind, such as knocking out the security guard first or pretending to be a cat to make the security guard let down his guard. However, these thods were not foolproof, and the probability of overreaching was higher.
What should I do? What should I do?
Just as I was anxious about how to escape, I suddenly felt sothing warm and sticky quickly wrap around my body. Then, in a daze, I arrived at the corner of the building where I had been hiding!
I only had ti to see that it was sothing like plasticine. It quickly slipped off my body and quietly seeped into the grass.
