Mount and Blade

"Da Da"

Feet stepped on the ground and ran fast. Fietnas ran out without even having time to put on shoes. The late night patrol just went to the other side of the castle, and no one noticed that Fietnas walked out of his room.

Fietnas hesitated at the door for a while before carefully opening the door. Although Green was sleeping soundly, he still felt the subtle changes in the light in the room. His brows were slightly furrowed. Thunder and lightning would not wake him up, but the changes in light and being watched would make him feel uncomfortable instinctively. This was the vigilance developed on the battlefield.

Green slowly opened his eyes. When he saw someone at the door, he suddenly wanted to take his sword. Just as he was about to jump up from the bed, he found that the child who came was Fietnas, and his nervous nerves relaxed again.

"Fietnas?"

"Sorry...I disturbed you, Ryan...Can I sleep with you tonight? There is thunder outside..."Fietnas saw that Green was still awake, and stood at the door and said awkwardly.

"Huh, of course you can. Why are you barefoot? Come in quickly, don't catch a cold."

Green calmed his tense heartbeat, got out of bed, put on his shoes, took out a pair of wooden slippers from the cabinet with the light from the window and handed them to Fitnas, then carried his quilt and pillow to the bed, yawned and got into the warm quilt. In the spring near summer, the fireplace is not turned on at night. The night with thunderstorms is still a little cold and damp. Green doesn't want to get out of his warm bed at all.

"Thank you, Ryan."

Fitnas didn't react to Green's neat appearance, but since he got permission, he could rest together. He walked to the bed with his shoes on, took off his dirty socks and got into his quilt. It was just that the thunderstorm outside continued. If he just lay down, he would still be nervous and scared and hold the quilt tightly, although Ryan was next to him, he was not so scared.

Besides the thunder outside, the sound of rain was quite relaxing for Green, but he was not used to having someone behind him, and he could not sleep. He used to sleep with Gus.

I don't know if he took good care of himself...

Green turned over and saw Fitnas who had huddled in the quilt because of the thunder.

"......"

"Huh?!"

Fitnas, who had just exposed his head, found that Green was staring at him, and his face and ears turned red instantly. He was afraid of being seen... He covered his face with the quilt again.

"I'm sorry, I... I'm really afraid of thunder."

Fitnas mumbled in the quilt, and Green seemed to feel that some shrimps were cooked, and they were bright red.

"I can't do anything about you, so let's sleep together, um... it will be much better."

Green naturally got into Fitnas's quilt and hugged him in his arms, just like when he and Gus hugged each other for warmth and fell asleep. His hands were really cold. It seemed that he was really scared. He patted Fitnas' back to comfort him.

I felt unexpectedly relieved. How could I feel so warm? When Green got in, the cold quilt suddenly became warm, just like... the sun?

The fear and nervousness were dispelled. It was really unexpected. Such a strong body. It was hard to imagine that this was a child...

Midnight came. Even thunder and lightning could not stop the wailing of the vengeful spirits. Those shouts accompanied by thunder were so terrifying. They were roaring, and the emotions they exuded were painful.

Fitnas hugged Green's body tightly and buried himself in it. It seemed that the wailing that frightened him as usual was not so scary, but his body still trembled involuntarily.

Feeling the trembling of the child in his arms, Green had to hug him tightly and comfort him gently. He rubbed Fitnas's hair. He should have just taken a bath tonight, and the fragrance of soap lingered at the tip of his nose.

Comforting children is not too unfamiliar. After all, before the age of three, I coaxed Gus more.

Thunder accompanied the wailing, and Green frowned. This world is not peaceful. Although the son of prophecy is just nonsense made up by the mysterious and glowing "old man", since then, except for displaying the attribute panel as usual, the system has not responded to it until now. Maybe it's not just a dream? The wound on his chest has scabbed and fallen off.

Thinking about this, Green slowly closed his tired eyes and fell asleep slowly.

.........

Only the maid Nami was rubbing her sleepy eyes like a fool, preparing to coax Master Fetnas, who was afraid of the screams of evil spirits, at midnight as usual, and knocking on the door.

"Knock knock knock"

"Master Fetnas?"

After knocking, no one responded. Did he fall asleep? But the master never slept at this time before? Nami perked up a little, and still leaned on the door to ask politely in a low voice.

"Master Fetnas, I'm coming in?"

Still no one responded, Nami pushed the door open carefully, and when she got closer, she found that Fetnas was gone, along with his quilt and pillow! !

"Master Fetnas is gone!!"

Nami, who was just sleepy, suddenly became alert and ran out in a panic to find the guards who were patrolling tonight, because Fitenas never left his room at night. Nami was so panicked that she was about to cry.

The guards on the entire floor were instantly shocked and went to hand over to the patrol guards on the next floor in batches. Even the lights in the castle were suddenly lit up to prepare for the search room by room, and they were about to alarm the Holy Dragon Knights to catch the "thief".

After a long time of tossing and turning, the group heard the maid downstairs mumbling that Fitenas ran to Ryan's room, because she lived not far from Master Ryan's room, because she was just awakened by the sound of thunder and rain at that time, and seemed to hear Master Fitenas' voice.

In order to confirm the safety of Fitenas, Nami quietly entered Ryan's room, only to see the two children sleeping soundly in a ball, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the room.

"Huh, luckily the young master is fine, I was so scared."

Nami touched her heart. If anything happened to the young master Fitnas, she would be blamed.

"Hey, we were so scared that we almost called the masters of the Knights, but this is the first time the young master left the room at night."

The captain of the guard in charge of patrol wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was really negligent. He didn't even notice that the young master Fitnas sneaked out. If the news reached the master, I'm afraid his position would be lost. It seems that he has to strengthen his vigilance recently to cover it up.

"I really trouble you..."

"Ha, it's a small problem. If there's nothing wrong, go back and rest. The young master finally has a good playmate."

"That's true. The young master looks more cheerful than before."
