It wouldnât be an easy task to take the medicine bottle from his neck and then feed it to him.
Against a normal person, Lin Xiao could use control magic to restrain them and give them the medicine, but forcibly controlling him now would just make him die faster.
So they could only rely on Rosie.
âMe? Lin Xiao, you canât even subdue him, h-how can I?â Rosie pouted but still couldnât help but worry as she glanced at what was happening with Caesar.
Earlier, the others used their number to their advantage and they all piled on top of Caesar to press him down, but he used another inferno slash and scared everyone shitless as they all retreated.
On one hand, everyone was indeed worried about being cut by Caesar, but on the other, they were also worried.
Every time he used a technique, his festering wounds would spread, if this kept happening, his entire body would rot away!
âRosie, you can definitely achieve what I couldnât! ⊠No, right now youâre the only one that can save him, and he only wants to be saved by you!â
âW-what do you mean?â
Rosie still didnât understand, but Lin Xiao just smiled and then leaned next to her and muttered something into her ears. Rosie blushed after a while and clenched her fists, she had a serious expression and seemed resolved.
After a short deliberation, Lin Xiao patted her shoulder as encouragement and then walked over to Caesar side by side.
Claire was still confused and wanted to call them back⊠if that many people couldnât deal with Caesar, what was Rosie going to do by herself?
âHey! Lin Xiao, youâŠâ
Just as Claire was calling them back, she was stopped by two people.
Elena coldly snorted behind her and used an indifferent gaze that could kill to stare at her, the scary pressure made her sweat, like she caught the eye of a lion, so she immediately shut her mouth. In front of her, Lin Xiaoâs other female friend, ShenDai Ying, walked over with a smile and gently pulled her arm while explaining to her.
âMen⊠uh no, Claire, donât worry, Lin Xiaoâs decisions wonât be wrong.â
âSo do you know what heâs going to do?â Claire raised an eyebrow and asked.
âThen how do you know that he wonât make a mistake?â
âHehe, why is that, I wonder?â It was like ShenDai Ying was stumped as she tilted her head to think about it, then she smiled and responded, âItâs probably because heâs never failed me before⊠so this time, Iâll still trust him.â
âEvery time?â
âYes, every time.â
After hearing ShenDai Yingâs response, Claire turned to look at Elena. She couldnât gather any information from her indifferent expression, but her silence was the best response.
If ShenDai Ying was the gentle spring breeze, then Elena was an ice-cold statue, two people cold and hot with completely different styles, yet each of them expressed their trust for Lin Xiao in different ways.
Trust is really a wonderful thing⊠Lin Xiao definitely must have put in a lot of work to get their unconditional trust.
And on the other hand, trusting others as they do and being proved time and time again, that feeling must also be quite nice.
For some reason, Claire felt jealous, like she came late and something precious was already divided up by these two and she was only left with the scraps.
âSince you trust him, okay then⊠I want to see what Rosie can do to deal with Caesar!â
The female Caesar and ShenDai Ying were really quite suited for each other, but unfortunately, Lin Xiao couldnât see it because he was focused on saving someone.
Lin Xiao gestured for everyone else to back off as he walked toward Caesar while cursing him.
âCaesar, I didnât take you for a monstrous bastard! Prince my ass, more like scum! Someone like you wants to be a hero? Peh!â
Lin Xiao continued shouting at Caesar, completely angering him.
âMongrel, what did you say!?â
âI said that youâre scum! Trash! Coward! Lecher! What else do you want me to call you? Hm?â
âSister Ying? Sorry, sheâs already taken my shape, so just give up.â
âYou!?â
Who knows if he had something wrong with him, but Lin Xiao chose the worst words while cursing the prince and walking towards him.
Everyone sweated as they watched Lin Xiao continue to insult Caesar.
What was he doing?
Rather than trying to soothe him, he was purposely angering Caesar. Although he was strong, there was no need for him to do something like that.
âLin Xiao! I always treated you as my adversary! Today is the day⊠to decide a victor!â
âOkay, thatâs what I had in mind too!â
âIf you didnât exist, then I can take all the credit, itâs you who keeps getting in my way⊠so Lin Xiao, die!â
Caesar drew his sword and swung it directly toward his head.
Lin Xiao didnât try to resist or use a magic shield, he just pulled the person behind him to the front.
âWhat? Youâre using Rosie as a human shield?â
Caesarâs sword was difficult to block even with a magic shield, if it hit Rosie, then she would be split in half!
Claire couldnât bear to keep watching as she shut her eyes closed and waited for Rosieâs wretched scream, but she didnât hear anything.
Caesarâs sword actually stopped right before hitting her! At this moment, his sword was mere inches from her head.
âHe actually stopped⊠why?â
Not just Claire, but everyone else was also similarly shocked.
Caesar was controlled by black magic and slashed at everyone he saw, so why did he suddenly stop and spared Rosie?
âIf there was someone Caesar wasnât willing to harm even if he died, then that would be you, Rosie.â
Lin Xiao gently pushed Rosie forward from behind and with her movement, her forehead was at his sharp sword, but Caesar pulled back his sword with every step Rosie took.
âIs Caesarâs fear his inner cowardice? No! His true fear is one person.â
Only Lin Xiao noticed a small detail, Caesar could point his sword at anyone, but he never once pointed it at Rosie.
âCaesar may be dense, but Rosie, youâve liked him for so long and spent all that time with him and almost died. He must have felt your feelings.â
Caesar once only treated Rosie as a good friend, but he couldnât avoid Rosieâs sincerity. One day he finally realized that he couldnât let down Rosieâs feelings, and what does he do?
Would he accept them? Or heartlessly reject her?
No, neither.
The answer was that even he himself didnât know what to do.
The ideal of a lifetime, the destiny of royalty, a manâs responsibility⊠there are too many pending choices and too many difficult trade-offs, which made him fall into fear.
He was shouldering an engagement, how could he accept Rosieâs feelings? How could he give Rosie a happy life?
If he couldnât, how should he face her sorrowful tears?
âThatâs right, what he truly fears is you⊠Rosie!â
âCaesar!!!â
Rosie ignored the sharp sword and lept towards Caesar. She hugged him tightly and cried out loud.
âWaahhh⊠Caesar, sorry! Iâm sorry! I was too selfish, I was only thinking about myself and forgot to take you into consideration⊠I thought that as long as I stayed with you, I would get your answer one day⊠but I was wrong, I shouldnât have forced you!â
Rosieâs tears streamed down and soaked Caesarâs shirt. Even several large men struggled to hold Caesar down, but faced against a tearful little girl, Caesar trembled and dropped his sword.
âCaesar, I will always like you⊠so you donât need to be scared.â
Rosie rubbed her head against Caesar and used his shirt to dry her tears, then she looked up and smiled.
âItâs fine even if you donât give me an answer, or even reject me⊠hehe, Iâm thick-skinned, so Iâm going to keep sticking with you, I wonât concede on that!â
âRosie! You stinking *****, l-let go of me!â
Caesar was still angrily cursing, but this time Rosie wasnât angry at all. She still hugged him tightly and then used her small cuspids to pick up the vial hanging on Caesarâs neck.
