Raising Octopus Juvenile

"……really."

Arnold sighed lowly, and Qingjun's face showed a faint loneliness.

He sighed too many times today.

Arnold took a deep look at Lanney, then turned to Bode on the opposite side: "Your Excellency, can I trouble you with something?"

Bode nodded and said, "Say."

"I hope you can tell me honestly, who is this guy?" Arnold turned his gaze to Lanny again, with a serious and cold expression. "In any case, I can't allow Cecil to have any potential danger around him. "

Cecil: "..."

She glanced at Stella subconsciously, but Stella did not meet her sight.

Stella's eyes wandered, she didn't look at them from start to finish, but sat silently in the back alone, absent-minded.

What's the matter with this demon? Hungry and silly?

Cecil looked back, feeling strange in his heart. After being asked by Arnold, Bode was still thinking. Cecil looked at him suggestively, trying to wink at him.

Dear teacher Bode, we must say something nice for Lenny!

Bode met her gaze, raised his eyebrows, and a big slender hand suddenly covered her eyes.

"Don't wink." Arnold said coldly.

Cecil: "...oh."

Arnold looked at Bode seriously, his thin lips pressed into a straight line. Bode understood what he was thinking, sighed slightly, and finally chose to tell the truth:

"He is indeed dangerous."

Arnold's expression suddenly became extremely nervous.

"--But he will never hurt Cecil." Bod slowly added, and his gaze turned to the quiet Lanny. "Right, little guy?"

Lanny nodded, his face quiet and harmless.

He never showed meekness to anyone other than Cecil, but at this moment, he knew very well that Cecil wanted him to do so.

He will never refuse Cecil's request.

Cecil secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Really?" Arnold looked at Lenny, his eyes still full of unkindness, but not as aggressive as before. "Since your Excellency said the same, then you can stay for the time being. But—"

"Oh, brother, he really won't do anything to me, don't worry..." Seeing that he had to make a request, Cecil quickly hugged his arm and forcibly prevented him from continuing.

"...I'm not going to say that." Arnold looked down at her helplessly, his eyes returning to his speechless tenderness.

Cecil: "Then what do you want to say."

Arnold raised his hand and gently touched her soft hair, then raised his eyelashes and looked straight at Lanny: "I have only one request for you. No matter what happens in the future, you must use your life to protect it. My sister. If you can't do it..."

"I can do it." Lanny interrupted him.

Arnold looked at Lenny in silence.

The young boy's eyes were dark green, without a trace of faltering emotions, they looked deep and pure. Even if he couldn't evaluate this guy objectively, he could still feel an almost absolute obsession from the other person.

...Looks even worse.

Arnold took a deep breath, his face suddenly becoming gloomy. He clenched his fists, gave Lanny a cold look, then turned to look at Bode: "Your Excellency, please come with me. I will arrange a room for you now."

Bode pulled the corners of his mouth, nodded covertly, got up and followed Arnold out. After the two left the living room together, Cecil finally let out a long sigh of relief and collapsed softly in Lanney's arms.

Great, she thought that Arnold would fight Lenny.

"Sister, Brother Arnold must have agreed with you together! What he meant just now!" Lena cheered happily, seemingly happier than Cecil herself.

Cecil: "It should be fine for the time being..."

She just wanted to stretch her body, when she suddenly swept to Stella not far away.

"Stella? Do you have something to tell me?" Cecil said naturally.

Stella hesitated for a few seconds, then looked away, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, I just came to see if you are dead."

Lena frowned upon hearing this: "Mrs. Stella..."

"It's okay." Cecil interrupted her softly, then spread his hands to Stella, "As you can see, I'm not dead yet."

Stella smiled reluctantly: "It's a pity."

After speaking, she also got up and left the living room.

"Sister, Mrs. Stella... It seems a bit strange." Lena was a little worried.

Cecil patted her shoulder, soothing: "Don't worry about her."

In fact, it is not only Stella that is strange... Cecil glanced at Lena, but after all, he didn't say anything.

After Cecil and Lena said goodnight to each other, they returned to their room with Lena.

She felt slimy, with a faint **** air remaining everywhere, but she was very tired, and she really didn't have the energy to take a bath anymore, so she had to use a cleaning technique instead of taking a bath, and cleaned herself and Lanny again.

Then she crawled onto the bed silently, while Lannie sat quietly on the edge of the bed and watched her.

Cecil pulled the quilt above his nose, revealing only a pair of transparent blue eyes. She looked at Lanny eagerly, her voice soft and soft.

"Lanny, are you sitting here?"

Lanny answered softly: "Yeah."

Cecil lowered his eyelashes to hide the loss in his eyes: "But... I want you to be with me."

Lanny blinked, a little puzzled: "I am staying with you right now."

"It's not like this..." Cecil shook his head, speaking lower and lower, "I want to touch you more directly so that I can be sure that you are by my side..."

Lanney's eyes floated, and the corners of her lips raised a small arc. He looked at Cecil's flushed cheeks, leaned slightly, and touched the tip of her nose lightly.

"Do you want me to hold you?" he asked softly.

Cecil's heartbeat gradually increased.

She nodded slightly.

After a sound of rustling clothes rubbing, Lanny lay down beside Cecil. He stretched out his arms and embraced Cecil gently, just like Cecil did to him every time.

"Lanny...you won't leave secretly?" Cecil shrank into Lanny's arms and asked in a low voice.

Lanny answered seriously: "No."

"Then you won't let go, will you?"

"will not."

"You won't lie to me?"

"will not."

Cecil didn't say anything again. She put her arms around Lanny's waist, her cheeks pressed against Lanny's chest, and her heartbeat was steady and clear.

She is very scared, very scared, even now, this panic has not diminished even at all.

She was afraid that today's things would happen again, and she was afraid that she would be separated from Lanny. Thinking of this, she couldn't help panicking, and even had many terrible thoughts.

But now she was not afraid, because Lenny was by her side.

They are together.

Cecil's body gradually relaxed, and his eyelids closed little by little. Lanny hugged her quietly, and then lowered her head cautiously until she heard her breathe quietly.

The girl in her arms has fallen asleep.

He stared at her intently, and a tentacle stretched silently to the girl's back to tuck the quilt for her.

Then he pressed a kiss on Cecil's forehead and closed his eyes.

Together they fell into a quiet dreamland.

Life in the mansion returned to peace.

The entire empire fell into chaos, and more and more mutants swept every piece of land on the continent like locusts. Thousands of people died under the attack of the mutants, and more and more people were desperate, and gradually placed their hopes on the ethereal gods. The Star Cross Society suddenly emerged at this time and harvested a large number of believers. In just a dozen days, it became the largest church organization in the entire empire.

Even Kevin joined the Stars Cross.

He even came back to spread the doctrine: "Only the Lord of the stars can save us. Do you want to go to the kingdom of God with me?"

Cecil looked at him like a fool: "Go by yourself, no one is with you."

Kevin sighed and left, and Cecil completely relaxed.

She didn't want to stay under the same roof for a long time with Daddy.

Although the world outside is deep and hot, Levitt's Mansion is like an isolated island, stable and calm, without any waves.

Arnold was still busy with the work of the Knights, Stella slept all day, Lena focused on studying, Bode checked Cecil's situation from time to time, everyone was happy, no different from the past, but life was extraordinarily warm.

Except for Cecil, her changes can be described as huge.

"Where's Lanny? Why didn't I see him?" The Snow-haired girl looked around at the table, her eyebrows frowned slightly.

"Lanny is going to get the strawberries, coming soon." Lena calmed her softly.

"I'm going to see." Cecil got up and raised his leg to find Lanny. Before she could take two steps, Lanny walked over with a plate of strawberries.

"Lanny!" Cecil ran over immediately, hugged his arm tightly, raised his head and looked at him eagerly, "Let's eat together."

Lanny kissed her in the eyes and replied softly, "Okay."

Seeing this, Lena hurriedly took the strawberry from his hand, and then took the two of them to sit at the table together and began to eat.

——The current Cecil has changed from the indifferent girl to a very clingy spirit.

You need Lanny to accompany you when you eat, Lanny to accompany you when you sleep, and even when you take a bath.

Now she is even more clingy than Lanny before, and she has to watch Lanny all the time.

Lena looked at them enviously as they sat eating together, while Bode yawned while eating: "Cecile, don't forget to come over later. It's time to check your recent physical condition."

"I know." Cecil responded casually, not seemingly concerned.

Stella, who was sitting on the other side of the dining table, kept holding the red wine glass, taking a sip from time to time. After listening to the conversation between Bode and Cecil, she finally raised her charming purple eyes and spoke lowly:

"Cecile, can you come to me first later?"

Cecil was stunned, and said, "What are you doing?"
