Chapter 12
plate.The uneasiness in my heart stems from self-blame, right?After all, I'm not Zenas, and I can't take on the responsibility of saving the world.I feel at peace with Annabeth's trust, attachment, and love for Zenas, but I can't even do the small thing of protecting her!Why?The development of those time-travel novels and comics shouldn't be like this!As the protagonist, I should be invincible, at least I don't have to complain about myself here!Maybe I am not the protagonist of this story, the protagonist has always been Zenas who worked hard in my world, right?
The operation was a success, and Annabeth was out of danger after five hours and seven minutes of surgery.They put her in a ward specially prepared for her by the sun, and I could finally see her.The doctor seemed to say something to me, but I didn't listen to anything.There seems to be no space in my mind to put those insignificant things, I just want to be by her side.
What's the time now?It must have been morning.I have absolutely no concept, and don't have to.I sat on a small bench and quietly looked at this person who was with me day and night.Her already pale skin was now even horribly whiter, not much darker than her hair.Her silver hair reminds me of the white snow in winter. This beauty that can only be seen in film and television works is now in front of me.I stroked the ends of her hair in awe, thinking how did she meet Zenas, and how did the two maintain such a delicate relationship to get along?
Who knows?
I fell asleep beside her bed.After an unknown amount of time, I felt someone gently stroking my head, so I slowly opened my eyes, and she woke up.
"Are you awake? Feeling okay?" I made it, rubbing my face.She smiled at me reluctantly: "It's okay."
"I'm sorry. I didn't protect you well."
She closed her eyes gently and stopped talking.The air seemed to freeze, and I was ready to be questioned, and ready to tell the whole story.But her expression gradually relaxed and bloomed into a beautiful flower: "Really...how did you become so gentle?"
gentle?
I suddenly burst out laughing until I couldn't straighten my waist: "Gentleness? How can I be gentle? How can a brave man be gentle?"

"You are not allowed to ask questions, you are not allowed to run around without my permission, and you are not allowed to reveal your identity in front of anyone, do you hear me?"
Isabel leaned on the seat cushion of the car, glanced at her impatiently, and said nothing.
Naturally, she understood that Cynthia's identity was quite special, but out of noble morals and good family upbringing, she chose to turn a blind eye.Isabel can only be unscrupulous in front of Zenas, while for others, she maintains her usual genius attitude of looking down on everything.
But facing this frivolous and confusing guy in front of her, her emotions are different from the above two.Of course, Isabel would never let him go easily when he teased her as soon as they met, but the confident smile on the corner of her mouth when she got serious and began to analyze the matter could completely attract Isabel's attention.For the first time, Isabel felt like a match for chess.Isabel was surprised to find that Cynthia's brains are not limited to medical treatment or alchemy during the short time together these days, magic, physics, chemistry, history, military affairs, literature, finance... she has been involved in all aspects, but none of them Just a taste of it.When she was free, she was the one who arranged almost everything.Including Annabeth's admission to the hospital, she seemed to have foreseen it all.Isabel had to admit that without her, there might be countless variables in this operation, but she would never admit another point—there is actually a genius more outstanding than herself in this world.
The car slowly drove into the manor, and they didn't really enter the magic city.This made Isabel a little disappointed.
"Doctor, why did you come back so soon?"
A one-armed demon man opened the door for the two of them. When he saw Isabel, his expression was a little subtle: "Why did you change your taste?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Cynthia stuffed the blood lotus into his arms: "This is my friend, take her to the guest room first, and then put this thing in my studio."
"Do you have to do it?"
Cynthia gave him a blank look: "Isn't that what you do? I have to go see the princess first."
Cynthia walked quickly towards the other side of the manor.She really can't wait for a moment, she is the only one who has been thinking about it these days and nights.If it wasn't for the queen's death order, Cynthia would never leave the princess and come to the world of the brave for the "brave save the world plan".
When walking to the garden, Cynthia slowed down, she had already seen the familiar figure.
"Doctor? Is that you?"
Cynthia originally wanted to sneak up to surprise her, but she sensed Cynthia first.Cynthia was a little disappointed: "Why did you find out again?"
"I heard you walking."
Cynthia pushed up her wheelchair and asked with concern, "How are you doing recently?"
"I'm fine, isn't it always like this?" Speaking of this, the princess paused: "Why do you smell like blood?"
Cynthia was a little surprised.Sure enough, the other senses of people who are blind will be greatly improved.Cynthia thought that taking a bath by herself would be able to wash away the smell contaminated in the blood pool, but now it seemed that it was not enough.She sniffed herself carefully again: "Is it heavy?"
"Well. How did you come back so soon?"
"I can't worry about you! I asked Xiao Si to send me reports every day, but I didn't receive any of them. Should I ask him to settle the score?"
The princess groped for Cynthia's right hand and held it gently: "You know I don't want to trouble you."
"I've said it all. I'm your doctor in charge. How can this trouble me? I'll be angry if you do this again. "
The princess took Cynthia's hand and gently placed it on her gentle cheek.Cynthia was slightly taken aback, but quickly understood what she meant: "Okay, I'm not angry, but you can't escape the medical examination."
"Doctor, you are so strict."
Cynthia shook her head with a smile, walked up to the princess and picked her up - she became lighter again, which made Cynthia more and more uneasy.She was afraid that the person in front of her would float off the ground one day and go to a place she couldn't reach.
"You smell like another woman."
"That was a friend of mine, a rather annoying little kid."
"This is your room. If you need anything, ring the bell. The servants are here 24 hours a day. If you need anything, you can come to me. My name is Hu Feng, and I'm the housekeeper here."
Isabel was quite satisfied with the simple and practical layout here, she nodded: "I see... By the way, where is the study?"
This place is really... Although Isabel's first impression was chaos: there are books everywhere in the small room, bookshelves, floors, desks... The books are piled together very randomly, but if you look carefully, you will find that there is a lot of chaos inside. There are articles.On the bookshelves are all kinds of common literary books, arranged from top to bottom according to the age of the author, and on the floor are magic books, each stack is of a different genre.The desk is reference books and various magazines.Isabel pretended not to see the pornographic magazines pressed at the bottom, turned around and took out a "History of the World" that was about to be torn apart from the bookshelf.
"You are here." Cynthia pushed the door open, and was not surprised to see Isabel who was reading.
Isabel closed the book: "Where did you go?"
"I don't need to report everything to you, do I?"
Isabel carefully returned the book to the shelf: "There is nothing unusual about you."
"Hey, don't rely on me if you don't have the heart to explore." Cynthia pretended to be serious, and Isabel was very angry when she was disgusted by her for no reason, and immediately blushed: "What do you mean!"
Cynthia walked to the bookshelf and lightly pressed the black button on it.The summer vacation began to move slowly, and a secret door appeared in front of Isabel. Cynthia opened the door for her: "All the books are here."
"My God...these are all yours?"
This is a huge library, each shelf is more than three meters high, full of all kinds of books.Isabel took a deep breath, the aroma of the quaint pages mixed with sandalwood was really intoxicating.The reliefs on the walls, the inextinguishable lamp made of crystal, and the giant dragon made of alternating black and white marble - the coat of arms of the demon king.
"It can't be said that they are all mine. I just have the right to manage them. You can browse through all the books here, don't damage them, and don't let me know which one you secretly took away."
Isabel walked to the bookshelf with awe in her heart: "Have you finished reading it all?"
"more or less."
Isabel's fingers brushed the demon characters on the spine of the book, and when she heard her unreliable answer, she laughed inexplicably, and said silently: "He is really a strange person."

Cynthia's studio was a shabby hut in the remotest part of the estate, just diagonal to the tower where the princess lived.When the princess' eyesight was not fading, she often sat by the bed and looked at the little lights coming from the house.Although she could see nothing now, she still kept the habit of sitting by the window for a long time, and as soon as she smelled the scent of roses in the wind, she knew that Cynthia was at work.
Cynthia lit the incense in the room, and Isabel pouted: "Why do you like roses too?"
"No woman will hate the flower buds of the Rosaceae, right? Anyway, smoked
