　　Announcement at the end of the chapter, under staff notes.

　　In the end, after carefully contemplating over it, Selman decided to step down.

　　Firstly, towards his little pet Dill, the pure-blooded prince decided that he could indulge him a bit. He did not want Dill to fall sick, get hurt, or see him hang his head looking anxious or disheartened. Since he had the ability, why shouldn't he let his pet be happier? Selman discovered that when Dill smiled happily, he himself would feel happy. Of course, he attributed this to the feelings an owner would have for his pet. After all, when a little kitty or puppy acted spoiled towards its owner, naturally, the owner would feel pleased.

　　What was more important was that when Dill was in a good mood, his blood tasted even richer and mellower. This was the whole reason he was raising Dill in the first place. In this way, Selman persuaded himself.

　　Regarding Yaan, Selman was much more cautious. Thus, when he was unable to come up with a verdict on his own after thinking through things, the prince directly chose to ask Yaan for his opinion.

　　At first, Sui Yuan was at a loss when faced with Selman's question but was still able to come to a conclusion in a flash, "Yes, I indeed hold goodwill towards Dill. He is a good child, clean and pure. I think that it is very comfortable interacting with him."

　　Selman agreed with Sui Yuan's words because he felt the same. This was why he allowed Dill to stay at his side instead of directly throwing him to be handled by the vampires who were responsible for the care of all the other humans.

　　Although Sui Yuan's response made Selman feel slightly unhappy, his calm att.i.tude did not cause a great backlash on Selman's part. Moreover, this was the 'limit' that Sui Yuan had mastered. On one hand, he could pave the way for 'Yaan's' feelings for Dill to develop. At the same time, this would not directly cause him and Selman to fall out with each other. It was the most appropriate answer.

　　"Only, I did not save that human just because of Dill," Sui Yuan saw that the protagonist gong's expression was normal and finally proceeded with Yaan's lines with a relaxed heart. This was where Yaan succeeded in persuading Selman to let Anson off, "That human named Anson is very important to Dill. If Dill were to see you kill him, I reckon that he will never forgive you in this lifetime. I think that you wouldn't want to see him hate you, ba?"

　　"Hmph. I don't care what he thinks of me," Selman turned his head away like a tsundere. Although deep inside he faintly agreed with Sui Yuan and was even a bit glad that Sui Yuan had acted in time, he would never admit that out loud. He thought that the fact that he unexpectedly cared about what a lowly human thought of him was simply ridiculous!

　　After breaking off for a moment, Selman suddenly turned his head and stared at Sui Yuan fixedly, "So does that mean you did it for my sake?"

　　——These lines weren't in the script, ah?! Sui Yuan hesitated, "…You can say that, ba."

　　Selman coughed gently and raised his chin in a haughty manner, "OK, ba. Then I won't look into the reason for your disobedience this time."

　　Sui Yuan："……………………"

　　——Selman, are your ears red right now?! Are you feeling bashful?! No, this absolutely must be an illusion!

　　5237："…Hehe."

　　Sui Yuan averted his eyes, emotions chaotic. With much difficulty, he ignored the protagonist gong's bright red ears and bitterly coughed to help himself maintain his calm.

　　Selman's ears slightly twitched and he examined Sui Yuan with furrowed brows with a difficult to conceal gaze of worry and self-blame, "Is your injury serious? I didn't spare any strength back then."

　　"It's no big deal," Sui Yuan stroked his chest that dully throbbed with pain, gently shaking his head, "Selman, you are always too impulsive. If I weren't there and the situation became irreversible, what would you have done?"

　　"…Then you must always stay by my side," Selman muttered, making a supreme effort to mask his flash of unease.

　　Sui Yuan："……………………"

　　Closing his eyes, Sui Yuan firmly ignored the protagonist gong's response and stood up, "Alright. Let's end things here for today. I plan to go home to recuperate. Although I was prepared, you were really ruthless at that moment."

　　"Then it would be better for you to stay here," Selman was rather discontent, "My place is much better than yours. Moreover, you were injured because of me."

　　Could Sui Yuan stay the day here? Of course not! He was afraid of the protagonists. Moreover, he still had to go play around with Zhao Xihe, ne!

　　"It's fine, ba. I don't want to trouble you. You should comfort Dill at this time and mend your relations.h.i.+p with him. I think he probably has never shown you a good expression since you've met him?" Sui Yuan waved his hand, a bit teasingly.

　　Selman felt subtly guilty. He, this majestic pure-blooded prince, had unexpectedly lost face because of his little pet. He had no way of getting back at the other party. It was simply his black history! If it wasn't Yaan who had said this, most likely, he would have been unable to stop himself from killing the speaker.

　　Sui Yuan's refusal was very resolute and when Selman thought that Yaan staying here meant an inevitable contact with Dill,he did not continue insisting. After all, he did not want to see the two people's relations.h.i.+p deepen.

　　Upon achieving a common understanding, Selman sent Sui Yuan out. Unexpectedly, they met Dill there who had been waiting for a long time.

　　Dill's complexion was still sickly pale and he still was not very alert. This made his originally feeble body gain an allure akin to a willow swaying in the wind.

　　When he saw Sui Yuan and Selman, Dill quickly advanced forward and directly ignored the frowning Selman. He faced Sui Yuan and properly bowed at a 90 degree angle, "Many thanks to you for saving Anson, Yaan daren!"

　　Dill's voice was rather hoa.r.s.e. Evidently, it was densely filled with grat.i.tude. Sui Yuan smiled gently, indicating to Dill to stand up, his tone gentle and warm, "I only did what I should."
