The Lord of Ashes

After the clouds disappear and the rain falls.

Erin was lying in the center of the bed, wrapped in a blood-stained quilt.

"You just said that you were worried about me when I was injured. Is that true?" Irene asked with a seductive blush on her face.

At this time, Thane did not put on the magic robe, but wore an ordinary home dress.

Faced with Eileen's inquiry, Thain was silent for a moment, and then nodded seriously.

Does Thane really care about Erin?

Maybe! However, the care at that time definitely did not rise to the level of male-female emotion. It was just based on the care between friends and acquaintances.

However, Thane is not the kind of elm-knot who is completely ignorant of style. The elm-knot cannot survive long in the environment of Mensobra City.

Beneath Thain's usually cold and stern appearance, there is actually a tact and judgment of the situation that outsiders don't know.

This can be known from the time when Thain did not hesitate to worship the master of the Holy Tower of Origin of Blue as his disciple.

Thain's performance brought a smile to Irene's face, a smile of shyness and joy.

Immediately afterwards, Thain couldn't help but asked curiously: "How did you..."

Thain pointed at the blood-stained sheets at this time. He never expected that Irene was still a virgin.

He knew that Aileen was a grandmother in terms of seniority.

Thain still remembers the apprentice named Mark who called Irene his grandmother.

Irene must be quite old. Despite her extremely young appearance, in fact, her real age is probably around 60 or 70 years old. Otherwise, she would not be someone else's grandmother.

In fact, Thain is not young anymore. He is in his forties this year. In the secular world, he cannot be regarded as a young man.

Even if the child is conceived early, he may be a grandparent.

Facing Thain's question, Irene rolled her eyes angrily: "Do you think I'm one of those ordinary ladies who don't know how to be ashamed?"

The aristocratic circles in some parts of the wizarding world are very chaotic. Especially after marriage, some noble ladies openly have affairs and use this as a basis for comparison with other noble ladies.

Fortunately, the Lycian Alliance where Thain is located has a relatively traditional aristocratic atmosphere. At least Thain has not heard of similar incidents.

And Thain could also imagine what methods the nobles, represented by Earl Grant, would use to punish them if some aristocratic ladies really had an affair without telling their husbands.

It would probably be easy to kill him directly...

The principality where Irene is located is called the French Principality. Speaking of which, Irene was once a princess.

It's just that the princess showed extremely high qualifications in magic practice, so she never married and grew up to the level of a first-level magician.

As a member of the ducal royal family, it was naturally impossible for Irene to do anything that was disgraceful to the royal family before getting married.

As for her later promotion to a first-level magician, the royal family of the Falan Principality had even less control over Irene.

The royal family of the Duke of Falan, where Irene belongs, can also be called a magical family. There is more than one first-level magician born in the family, Irene.

But since Irene has been promoted to a first-level magician, she must be one of the most powerful people in the royal family.

As members of the aristocratic royal family, they often have to bear the responsibilities of marriage.

Thane's father, Earl Grant, was such a strong man, but he didn't have to follow the rules of the nobility when he was a knight's squire.

Earl Grant's two formal marriages had some shadow of aristocratic marriage behind them, but they were not so obvious.

Only by truly reaching the level of life above one level can one completely break away from the shackles of secular rules.

When reaching the first level of life and above, these wizard world knights and magicians need to follow other rules, and the secular world is no longer involved with them.

Eileen is Mark's grandmother, but Mark is just her sister's grandson and has nothing to do with Eileen.

Before having the most intimate contact with Thain, Irene was still a young girl.

This can be verified not only from the blood stains on the bed, but also from the fact that when Thain was getting close to Irene, he could clearly feel her unfamiliarity and deep depression.

As a man, Thain is still very responsible.

If Magician Erin had not developed any friendship with him, Thane would at most regard today's events as a "play" for each other to relax and vent.

But looking at the sweetness in Irene's eyes at this moment, it was impossible to get rid of it. How could Thain abandon the other party like this? Not to mention, Thain also took the other side's first time.

The physique of a first-level magician is far beyond that of ordinary humans, but Thane softened his tone and said, "You rest for a while, and I'll prepare some food."

"Let me help you." The sweetness on Eileen's cheeks deepened, and she took the initiative to get out of the bed and said.

The slight pain was obviously improved a lot under the effect of the recovery technique that Irene released on herself.

The two of them were like an ordinary magician couple, processing food in the corner of the kitchen in the room.

While washing the ingredients, Thain looked at Eileen beside him and couldn't help but ask: "Why choose me?"

Seeing the confusion on Eileen's face, Thane couldn't help but explain in detail: "Why did you give me 'good things'? Before this, I thought our relationship had not reached this level."

Thain's inquiry caused a trace of blush to appear on Irene's face again. The "good things" he mentioned were obviously referring to Irene herself.

Facing Thain's inquiry, Irene said while handling the ingredients in front of her: "In that battle outside the fortress a few years ago, I thought I was going to die."

"Marina fell right in front of me, and I could see her struggle and despair before she died."

"When the energy beam of the Nesser civilization's golem penetrated my abdomen, I suddenly remembered something Marina told me."

"She said it was very comfortable to do that kind of thing and suggested that I try it in the future."

"Magicians should not let their physical senses and body hormones affect their judgment, but they are always full of curiosity about untried things. This is also our original intention to explore the nature of truth."

"At that moment, I thought about a lot of people of the opposite sex I knew, including you." Erin glanced at Thain beside her sheepishly.

Thain still looked normal, but continued to listen.

"What really made me choose you was that after returning to the Space Fortress after a narrow escape, you were the only one who came to see me and stayed with me for a long time."

"That's when I discovered that you are quite handsome and make people feel reliable." Irene said in a low voice with a blushing face.

Faced with Irene's answer and performance, Thane nodded thoughtfully, then chuckled and said: "I didn't expect that the rigorous and generous magician Irene in the magic class would be so weak and emotional. one side."

Sean's chuckle made Eileen pinch him angrily: "I'll kill you for how dare you tease me!"

Maybe Irene also thought that in terms of age and experience, Thain seemed to be of the same generation as her grandson Mark.

At that time, I also taught Thain's fire element magic course. From a certain perspective, he was also considered to be Thain's mentor.

This change of identity made Irene's face burn with panic.

Of course, in addition to shyness, there is also an indescribable sense of taboo and guilt, which makes Erin sink deeper and deeper.

After a quick glance at Thane, who was a head taller than herself, Irene recognized Thain anyway.

Only those who have experienced that kind of loneliness and helplessness can understand how happy it is to have a reliable chest to rely on.

At least in Erin's opinion, Thane was reliable.

Even though the other person's real age is much younger than hers, Thain's mature and steady temperament is like the attraction of pollen to bees, which deeply attracts Irene.
