Chapter 86

When Lennox returned to his room, Bun-Bun was already there, waiting for him. He helped his liege take a bath and change into nightwear. Dawn was yet to arrive but who cares, if there is an opportunity to sleep then just sleep!

Lennox tucked himself in the bed, quickly going through some paperwork that a ten-years-old obviously shouldn't be doing before sleeping. Well, Jennings always pulled him out of the messes he created and he would often slip without being punished, this was the least he could do to make it up for his old man.

It barely took him a few minutes to finish all of them, this type of mortal assignments is nothing to him. Lennox handed the documents to Bun-Bun as he said nonchalantly.

" you are leaving tomorrow morning, right? "

" ah? Yes, I will head to Blood Prince's palace once the sun rises "

Bun-Bun was startled by the sudden question, but he still answered immediately. Lennox raised his head to say something but paused for a moment before changing his words.

" your hair has grown "

Bun-Bun instinctively touched his hair. Indeed, at some point, his white fluffy hair has grown long, almost reaching his shoulder.

' do I look weird?! Does lord hate it? What should I do?! I don't know how to cut my hair! '

Lennox heaved a sigh at the sight of his brat fidgeting like a broken machine. He beckoned him to sit in front of the bed.

" come here, I will do it for you "

As he said that, a black ball of fire appeared and disappeared in instant, leaving behind a jade comb and a blue hair tassel with a butterfly-shaped metal accessory at the end. Bun-Bun hardly managed to keep his lips from curving up, but his pounding heart has long since exposed him. He obediently sat where Lennox pointed at, with his back facing the bed.

Since the other party oddly liked this, Lennox took his time and leisurely brushed Bun-Bun's hair. There weren't any tangles so the comb effortlessly slipped through his white strands.

" before you depart tomorrow, stop by my tower, take a few gifts for your elders. Don't go empty-handed "

"Hn. This subordinate obeys "

Lennox kept combing the already soft hair for a while before reaching to the blue hair tassel. He heaved a laugh-like sigh as he tied the white hair into a half-up pony.

" I made this tassel for Sapphire long ago but didn't have the chance to give her. I guess it's yours now "

Bun-Bun held his breath and didn't say anything. Once Lennox finished tying his tassel, he turned around and rested his chin on Lennox's knees, putting a long face.

"Lord....why don't you search for the others? "

The 'others' were naturally Lennox's previous subordinates. In the past, they were always together like a family, but after Lennox's death, everyone scattered in their own way. When Lennox came back to life, he refused to reach out for them and even warned Bun-Bun from informing them of his return.

Bun-Bun himself encountered Lennox by sheer luck. If he hadn't coincidently been in the capital three years ago, then perhaps he might never know that his liege has raised from the dead.

" with what face should I appear? A hundred years have passed since my death, I am no more than a memory now "

" That's not right! My lord is the reason we live, without you, everyone went astray "

Lennox shook his head before sighing deeply. These kids he raised are a bunch of idiots!

" following me like ducklings isn't a reason to live for. Each one of them is a grown-up now, some might even died by now. They have their own paths to take, I simply am a part of it, but never the leading end of it "

Bun-Bun put on a lonely face as he nodded slowly. He relaxed his head on Lennox but soon jolted by what the other person said.

" You too will have to leave at some point "

" no!! I am staying! "

Lennox patted Bun-Bun's head, leisurely saying.

" you have been with me ever since you were a six years brat, honestly I too am attached to your existence around me. However, that won't change my decision. For now, you are still a kid, I will look after you, once you are all grown up, I will chase you out myself "

Bun-Bun brows trembled, his vision turned blurry as a stream of tears poured down his cheeks. He buried his face in Lennox's lap saying with an aghast voice.

" I don't want to leave....I want to stay "

Seeing his distressed face, Lennox chuckled unnoticeably. The smile on his face neither carried a hint of mockery nor slyness. It was a warm and pure smile that he never showed to anyone.

" That's not your call to make, little one "

*****

Ok here is a little explanation that I don't know how to squeeze between the lines.

The first honourable being is said to have lived in heaven and served God while creating the mortal world. After everything was settled, God wanted to reward them for their sincerity and loyalty, thus, God honoured them to live freely and unbounded to any duties in the heavens. However, the honourable being of that time has refused because of his obsession with a mortal. The honourable being admitted his sin and asked God for punishment. But God is merciful, they understand their creation better than anyone. God assigned the honourable being to keep the order in the mortals' world and allowed him to ascend to heaven once he is able to leave his Sin.

As of now, each honourable being had a Sin, something or someone who they are ultimately fond of. It could be anything or anyone that comes at any time. But once it appears, the count down begins, they must fight their obsession and ascend to heaven before their Sin fades away. If they failed to do so, then that honourable being will fall into endless agony and eventually dies.

Shianl failed, thus died from despair. However, the moment his soul left his body, someone seized him. A honourable being's soul was extremely powerful and priceless. After erasing his memories of his Sin, Shianl's soul became stable, thus, able to revive.
