622 They All Sneaked Away
Lily's POV:
Although he looked like Yarin, I still couldn't believe him - he was only the size of a thumb!
"I know you must be wondering how I became like this," he said. "This is one of my abilities. I can't tell you more about it. I'm sorry, I promised my parents."
"What evidence do you have to prove you're Yarin?" I asked warily. "You know you look more like an elf, right? They have many races. I heard that some elves have the ability to change their appearance..."
"I've heard of it too, but unfortunately, I'm a living werewolf." The miniature person lowered his head and seemed to be thinking in distress. "What should I say to prove myself?"
"I asked you that day how you found out that I was locked up by the kidnappers. What method did you use?"
The miniature person immediately replied, "The method is - I didn't tell you! Yes, I didn't tell you how I found you. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that this has something to do with my power, and I have to keep it a secret."
Yes, Yarin didn't tell me anything then. I knew that as a prince, he had to follow some rules, so I didn't ask much.
This made me believe in the little guy.
But then, more doubts surfaced. Shouldn't Yarin be in the hospital right now? Why did he suddenly come back to the manor? Did his parents know about this?
"Anyway, I'm doing the same thing as you are. I sneaked out," Yarin said frankly. "Heller is still in the hospital. I left secretly because I had to do something."
I exclaimed in a whisper, "This is too dangerous and reckless! In the garbage truck? To think that you could think of that! What do you have to do now?"
"Will you tell others? I mean my parents, Aunt Teresa, or Francis." Yarin sat in my palm and looked at me expectantly. "It's really very, very important, but if others find out, I'll fail, and I might never have a chance to do it again."
The more I listened, the more I felt something was wrong.
"Maybe, not necessarily." At this moment, his ambiguous words made me even more certain that this was definitely dangerous.
I was on his side, but if he was going to risk his life to do something stupid, I couldn't just sit by and watch. So I immediately grabbed him and said, "If you don't tell me, I will bring you to the Queen. You can't let yourself be in danger." no-VeLUSb)c/o-m
"No! Don't!" Yarin struggled. Although I didn't use strength, the thumb-sized little person still couldn't break free from my grip. "Please, Lily, don't go to my mom! I'll tell you, but please don't tell anyone else, okay?"
He wasn't just going to be mischievous. I wanted to hear his plans, so I let go slightly.
Yarin jumped onto the grass and waved his hand, saying, "Follow me. You'll know when you see it."
He ran away in a flash. Following the direction he ran in, I saw a 'ridge' rising from the shadows under the wall.
The 'ridge' was thin, as if something was pushing up the turf below, creating a barrier about half the height of a calf. As it was in the shadows, it was more difficult to see clearly from the bright place, so it looked like some tall grass. It was difficult to see anything unusual without careful observation.
When did this happen? It was a patch of grass just now!
Just as I was in a daze, I felt an itchy sensation on my leg. Yarin was holding a blade of grass and whispering to me, "Hurry up and be careful. Don't be discovered!"
I was stunned and subconsciously followed him.
I crawled on the ground and carefully crawled across the grass. I realized I had easily left the security surveillance range.
"Did you do all this?" I asked Yarin.
The little guy puffed out his chest proudly and said, "Of course, I'll dig under the lawn and lift it so I can hide you. After that, I would just put the lawn down."
"How did you do it? With your 'power'?"
Yarin fell silent again.
" Okay, okay." I nodded understandingly. "Anyway, thank you for helping me again."
"If you want to know, it's not like I can't tell you..." Yarin stammered.
"No, I don't want to know too much, especially things the royal family wants to keep secret," I firmly refused.
"So, let's talk about business. What are you doing? Why are you being so sneaky? And what dangers are there? You know I'm on your side, but I can't watch you risk your life, so..."
"Promise me you won't tell anyone!"Yarin begged desperately. "You can't go back on your word. I trust you so much!"
"I didn't agree to it. In fact, I was only silent then, and not all silence can be counted as tacit consent."I slyly defended myself.
