Chapter 206: 205 wants to marry and take her home! Chapter 206: 205 wants to marry and take her home! Regardless, the fact that Shane had decided to stay was already set in stone.
He didn’t want to explain, as explanations would only make things messier; others simply wouldn’t believe him. Continuing to explain might lead to a heated moment where he could say something wrong, and then that fierce little she-cat might jump out and bite him again.
So, Shane could only speak up, sounding deflated and powerless,
“Anyway, I’ll be staying in the Royal Capital for a month, it’s fine if you all head back first.”
After all, in the Royal Capital, Shane had become somewhat familiar with things, and he should be fine staying on his own.
Of course, he had to discuss it with Migis first. It wouldn’t be polite not to say something after eating and living at someone else’s expense.
However, after Shane announced his decision to stay, the group of girls had this to say,
“Since you’re staying, then I might as well stay too.”
Tielle made her decision without any hesitation, which surprised everyone.
Especially Lu Muya and Merica.
Vivian was okay with it, at least she knew Tielle’s circumstances and could guess why she wanted to stay.
But Lu Muya and Merica couldn’t understand.
“…Tielle seems to have gotten very close with Mr. Shane lately.”
Lu Muya’s face registered surprise.
“Is this still the indifferent Tielle we knew?”
Merica puffed up her cheeks, clearly disgruntled about something.
Tielle, on the other hand, offered no explanation, as if she couldn’t be bothered to do so. Once she had made her decision, she said no more and quietly sipped her tea.
Shane, on the other hand, was amused.
After all, if Tielle didn’t leave, she would continue to be his bathing companion, right?
“What about you two? What do you plan to do?”
Vivian chuckled and shook her head, then turned to confirm with Lu Muya and Merica.
Both of them hesitated.
“I…” Merica stole a glance at Shane and then feebly said, “I’ll stay too.”
“Really?” Vivian looked at Merica with a mix of amusement and curiosity, “Why?”
“It’s…it’s nothing,” Merica continued in a tiny voice, “Since Mr. Shane and Tielle want to stay, then I will just stay with them.”
How unconvincing that weak voice sounded.
“And what about Lu Muya?”
Vivian could only shake her head and turn to the last member of her team.
Lu Muya’s expression was still full of hesitation, even troubled.
“Since Tielle and Merica both want to stay, I kind of want to stay as well,” Lu Muya said with concern, “But my sisters are still in Lamijion, and if no one looks after them for too long…”
In other words, Lu Muya was very worried about her sisters’ welfare.
Seeing this, Vivian offered words of comfort.
“Don’t worry, Riley is still in Lamijion, and she’s thoughtful. Knowing that you won’t be back to Lamijion for a while, she will definitely take good care of your sisters,” Vivian said with a smile, “And it’s only a month. We’ve been away from Lamijion for nearly a month now, and another month shouldn’t cause any problems, right?”
Hearing this, it seemed Lu Muya began to grasp what Vivian was getting at.
“Do you want me to stay, Vivian sister?”
Lu Muya asked cautiously for confirmation.
“Suppose so,” Vivian didn’t hide her intent, “Tielle wants to stay, Merica wants to stay, and Shane is certainly here, and you also have some desire to stay. Then I might as well just stay outright.”
And if even Vivian was staying, they couldn’t possibly make Lu Muya go back alone, could they?
With this reasoning, Vivian tried to comfort and persuade her.
Lu Muya still seemed a bit apprehensive.
“Don’t worry, I’ll write a letter to Riley and have her take good care of your sisters for you.”
Vivian patted Lu Muya on the shoulder, giving her courage.
It took some coaxing, but Lu Muya finally agreed.
And so, everyone in Vivian’s Team decided to stay in the Royal Capital.
The time limit was set at one month.
At this moment, Shane had already slipped over to Tielle’s side.
“Do you really plan on staying?”
Shane whispered to confirm.
“Don’t you welcome me?”
Tielle glanced at Shane and countered with a question instead of answering.
Shane denied without hesitation.
Of all the people, Shane most wanted Tielle to stay.
The reason was obvious, even if unspoken.
“Don’t you dislike the Royal Capital?” Shane confirmed, “Staying here, you’ll surely continue to be troubled. Is that really okay?”
Shane couldn’t help but worry.
After all, once he decided to spend the next month in the Underground Magic Book Library, he wouldn’t have time to keep protecting Tielle in secret.
That could lead to unimaginable trouble for her.
She must be aware of it.
But Shane’s words did nothing to change Tielle’s mind.
“Although I do indeed dislike it here, not liking it doesn’t mean I’m afraid. I can protect myself now,” Tielle said indifferently. “Besides, you know my situation. So wherever you are, I will be there.”
Shane was nearly overwhelmed by emotion at her words.
This girl who he once thought was the least communicative and most indifferent in the team was now saying something to Shane – it almost made him want to…(phew!) take her home to marry!
Still, moved as he was, he couldn’t ignore the troubles that followed Tielle.
If at the beginning Shane helped Tielle partly because Luoqi had entrusted her to him, by now, he genuinely wanted to help her from the bottom of his heart.
Presently, Shane glanced at Ai Yi, who seemed to be getting sleepy and was yawning adorably to the point of exploding, and a plan formed in his mind.
(If all else fails, I could have Ai Yi be her personal guard for a month.)
With Ai Yi by her side, Tielle’s safety would definitely not be a concern.
It just remained to be seen whether this girl would be willing.
After all, Ai Yi was only interested in Shane.
At first glance, she seemed to get along very well with Shane, but when it came to others, Ai Yi always seemed aloof, even indifferent, no matter how warmly Lu Muya and Merica treated her.
With that in mind, whether this hidden powerhouse would agree to be Tielle’s guard for a month was uncertain.
(If it doesn’t work out, I’ll have to step in myself.)
Shane braced himself for a serious “talk” with Ai Yi.
Later, during dinner, they requested to extend their stay for one more month from Migis, who granted permission without a moment’s hesitation.
And with that, the matter was settled.
