It wouldn’t 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.
“Me? Lin Xiao, you can’t even subdue him, h-how can I?” Rosie pouted but still couldn’t 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!
“Rosie, you can definitely achieve what I couldn’t! … No, right now you’re the only one that can save him, and he only wants to be saved by you!”
“W-what do you mean?”
Rosie still didn’t 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 couldn’t deal with Caesar, what was Rosie going to do by herself?
“Hey! Lin Xiao, you…”
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 Xiao’s other female friend, ShenDai Ying, walked over with a smile and gently pulled her arm while explaining to her.
“Men… uh no, Claire, don’t worry, Lin Xiao’s decisions won’t be wrong.”
“So do you know what he’s going to do?” Claire raised an eyebrow and asked.
“I don’t know.” ShenDai Ying responded honestly.
“Then how do you know that he won’t make a mistake?”
“Hehe, why is that, I wonder?” It was like ShenDai Ying was stumped as she tilted her head to think about it, then she smiled and responded, “It’s probably because he’s never failed me before… so this time, I’ll still trust him.”
“Every time?”
“Yes, every time.”
After hearing ShenDai Ying’s response, Claire turned to look at Elena. She couldn’t 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.
“Since you trust him, okay then… I want to see what Rosie can do to deal with Caesar!”
The female Caesar and ShenDai Ying were really quite suited for each other, but unfortunately, Lin Xiao couldn’t 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.
“Caesar, I didn’t take you for a monstrous bastard! Prince my ass, more like scum! Someone like you wants to be a hero? Peh!”
Lin Xiao continued shouting at Caesar, completely angering him.
“Mongrel, what did you say!?”
“I said that you’re scum! Trash! Coward! Lecher! What else do you want me to call you? Hm?”
“Lin Xiao! You took my fiancée, I haven’t even settled that debt with you yet!”
“Sister Ying? Sorry, she’s already taken my shape, so just give up.”
“You!?”
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.
“Lin Xiao! I always treated you as my adversary! Today is the day… to decide a victor!”
“Okay, that’s what I had in mind too!”
“If you didn’t exist, then I can take all the credit, it’s you who keeps getting in my way… so Lin Xiao, die!”
Caesar drew his sword and swung it directly toward his head.
Lin Xiao didn’t try to resist or use a magic shield, he just pulled the person behind him to the front.
“What? You’re using Rosie as a human shield?”
Caesar’s sword was difficult to block even with a magic shield, if it hit Rosie, then she would be split in half!
Claire couldn’t bear to keep watching as she shut her eyes closed and waited for Rosie’s wretched scream, but she didn’t hear anything.
Caesar’s sword actually stopped right before hitting her! At this moment, his sword was mere inches from her head.
“He actually stopped… why?”
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?
“If there was someone Caesar wasn’t willing to harm even if he died, then that would be you, Rosie.”
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.
“Is Caesar’s fear his inner cowardice? No! His true fear is one person.”
Only Lin Xiao noticed a small detail, Caesar could point his sword at anyone, but he never once pointed it at Rosie.
“Caesar may be dense, but Rosie, you’ve liked him for so long and spent all that time with him and almost died. He must have felt your feelings.”
Caesar once only treated Rosie as a good friend, but he couldn’t avoid Rosie’s sincerity. One day he finally realized that he couldn’t let down Rosie’s feelings, and what does he do?
Would he accept them? Or heartlessly reject her?
No, neither.
The answer was that even he himself didn’t know what to do.
The ideal of a lifetime, the destiny of royalty, a man’s 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 Rosie’s feelings? How could he give Rosie a happy life?
If he couldn’t, how should he face her sorrowful tears?
“That’s right, what he truly fears is you… Rosie!”
“Caesar!!!”
Rosie ignored the sharp sword and lept towards Caesar. She hugged him tightly and cried out loud.
“Waahhh… Caesar, sorry! I’m 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 shouldn’t have forced you!”
Rosie’s tears streamed down and soaked Caesar’s shirt. Even several large men struggled to hold Caesar down, but faced against a tearful little girl, Caesar trembled and dropped his sword.
“Caesar, I will always like you… so you don’t need to be scared.”
Rosie rubbed her head against Caesar and used his shirt to dry her tears, then she looked up and smiled.
“It’s fine even if you don’t give me an answer, or even reject me… hehe, I’m thick-skinned, so I’m going to keep sticking with you, I won’t concede on that!”
“Rosie! You stinking *****, l-let go of me!”
Caesar was still angrily cursing, but this time Rosie wasn’t angry at all. She still hugged him tightly and then used her small cuspids to pick up the vial hanging on Caesar’s neck.
“Caesar… let me dispel your fears!”
Rosie gently smiled and then gently kissed him.
