164、Daddy loves me again
"What are you talking about, Ainia?" The boy felt his voice hoarse and his throat was dry and his hands were trembling. He tried to hold his hands tightly to relieve his nervousness, but found that it was useless.
Ania reached out to hold his slightly trembling hand. The weak and boneless little hand seemed extremely petite and fragile in the boy's hand that was larger than the one. The cool and warm touch in his hand made the boy feel a little relieved. At least Ania didn't seem to want to hurt anyone, maybe she was just tired of acting and wanted to be herself again?
No, I suddenly said this at a dangerous moment when I don’t know whether I have exposed my identity or not. No matter how I look at it, it’s impossible for this reason!
"What do you want to do, Ainia?" The slightly sweaty palm made him embarrassed to hold Ania's little hand tightly, but when he wanted to break free, Ainia tightened her backhand.
Instead of being tired of being her father and deciding to tear her face and abandoning her useless self, the boy is now more worried that Ainia will do more terrible things. For example, knocking Luo Yiyi out of the way and then catching the demons, or even taking away some teachers from the academy. If Ainia does this, the boy can even foresee the whole world's appearance of igniting war.
This is not a joke. Not to mention the identity of the eldest lady of the Luo family, just those teachers, the knowledge they have mastered is known to the demons, and humans will never allow it to appear. In order to avoid the demons' coercion and inducement of the knowledge in their minds, the empire may immediately declare war on the demons.
The boy did not suspect that Ania had such strength. Perhaps he had thought that Ania had not recovered her strength before, but just a well-behaved little girl, but the moment when Ania showed the devil's aura just now, he understood that Ania had recovered her strength. Now she is the devil's Arloria, not his well-behaved and obedient daughter Ania.
"Don't worry, I can't do anything." Ania smiled and pulled the boy's arm, signaling him to stand up excitedly and sit down again, "I just want to talk to you about our relationship."
In fact, Ania really doesn't do what the boy thinks of. Before there is no evidence to prove that she is really suspected, she doesn't need to do anything at all. Even if she is really suspected, for a demon king like her, the preparations needed to capture her alive are very time-consuming and labor-intensive. Ania has a lot of time and doesn't need to be so worried about it so early.
Moreover, even if she catches the teachers, it will probably be difficult for her to leave the empire. Judging from the speed of the magicians' movement before, she would be caught up with her with the teachers, even if she could not escape the tracking range of the magicians' weapons. Even if she could escape in the end, she had to abandon everyone else. It would be better to leave secretly early than to do so.
"The relationship between us..." The boy smiled dryly and repeated Ania's words. He knew what Ania wanted to say, but he didn't want to talk about this with Ania.
If Ania is not going to do the dangerous things he had just thought about, then he needs to consider the relationship between himself and Ania now, especially after Ania has broken the layer of paper between the two.
"I don't understand what you are talking about." The boy turned his head and refused to look at Ania. After getting along for so long, he already understood that Ania was a good child. Even if he broke the relationship between the two, she would definitely not hurt him. But he still didn't want to talk about this issue with Ania. Although he didn't want to admit it, he was indeed used to having Ania by his side and the feeling of having such a well-behaved and obedient daughter.
Ania ignored the teenager's words and said to herself: "I see all your actions during this period. Perhaps because of social phobia, I am particularly sensitive to people's attitudes toward me. Although you always look reluctant, you have always been very good to me and have not shown any resistance in action because of reluctance. I am very grateful to you, really, you are a good person."
"Why did you suddenly use a respectful title?" The boy tried to change the topic awkwardly, but failed. Ainia did not answer his question.
The words of Ania sounded like a praising person, but the boy didn't want to hear such praise at all. He knew very well. Although he had always taken care of Ania like an elder, at the beginning he just pretended to be more similar, so that Ania would not be angry because his behavior was not like her father. In fact, the idea of betraying her in his heart always existed, but he had been hesitating there, so he didn't have time to implement it.
The idea of really wanting to be nicer to Ainia was only when I heard Luo Yiyi tell her life not long ago. He was embarrassed to admit that he had always taken care of Ainia very hard.
Ainia thinks he is good to her, because she has a bad relationship with her real father and has not felt the care of her family. So if she is a little bit good to her, she will also think that the boy is really nice to her, even better than her father, right? Is the reason why Ainia forced herself to call him father is that she also wants to get some fatherly love from him?
"My father is a qualified ruler, but he is not a qualified father." Ainia changed her voice and suddenly talked about her family affairs. "From childhood to adulthood, the time I spent with my father together was probably less than a month. I basically lived with my mother. Although I couldn't see my father often, my mother's care for me made me not care much about this until that day... On that day, the demons from other tribes broke into the palace and killed my mother who was not proficient in magic."
Although I had heard these from Luo Yiyi, I heard Ainia herself telling her again, and the boy felt sad for her.
"My mother is not proficient in magic, but she has some research on magic technology. At the last moment, my mother used all the protective magic weapons for me, and she herself died under the assassin's butcher knife." Ania didn't have any expression when she spoke, but the boy could feel that she was very sad and couldn't help but hold her hand tightly to comfort her. Ania smiled at him and continued, "After my mother died, my father was still busy with government affairs every day, and did not increase the time she spent with me. I had no friends or family. During that time, I was very, very lonely, and even often had the idea of committing suicide to accompany my mother in another world.
"If it weren't for my mother's death, I was going to support me if I asked me to study magic techniques for her, I'm afraid I would really commit suicide. I was very resentful of my father at one time, but later I gradually realized that he was busy avenging his mother during that period, but this could not change the fact that we spent too short and too short. Even though he wanted to make up for it later, I had already become accustomed to being alone and not getting close to anyone. I think my social phobia appeared at that time."
When Ainia was determined to make these things clear, the boy could only listen silently.
"When I first forced you to be my dad, I just thought that maybe this change in name can make it easier for me to adapt to the life with you. In fact, during the first period, I set magic on my body every day to prevent you from doing too intimate actions. As long as you make contact actions that exceed a certain limit, the magic will trigger, and the least powerful one can make you unable to get up in bed for half a month." The boy secretly wiped his sweat. He never knew that he was so close to danger. "Of course, all your actions later proved that I thought too much. You are an upright and kind person. Even if you are just a false verbal name, you are very competent to act as a father and take care of me with all your heart..."
The boy really wanted to say "I didn't do my best at all." Ania had never enjoyed fatherly love. Maybe she didn't know what a father who really did my best to take care of his children was like, but the boy was still alive. Compared to his own father's appearance when he was taking care of him when he was young, he felt that he was at least 100,800 miles away from the four "do my best". However, the boy only thought about this in his heart. It still took courage to say it.
Of course, Ainia would not know the teenager’s psychological activities: “You are a good person, and good people should be rewarded. If my story is revealed, I’m afraid you will be implicated, so I think…”
"So do you want to take everything on yourself?" The boy finally understood what Ania wanted to say, and her face suddenly looked ugly.
Of course, he hoped that the Demon King sneaked into the Brave Academy to steal the teacher had nothing to do with him, but that must be before everything happened. It was too late to say anything. After all, he was related to this matter. It would be useless to deny this. There is only one way to really get rid of the teenager, which is that Ania said that she could use magic to control the teenager, but that would mean that Ania had another crime. Once Ania was arrested, the treatment she suffered might be worse.
Ania smiled, still not answering the boy's question, just asked, "Can I call you dad again in the end?"
