Chapter 1015: A family
"Because I've found a family." That was the answer that I gave in a calm voice.
Noah just looked at me with a dazed look, almost as if he couldn't understand what I was saying.
He just looked at me like this for a bit before his expression slowly changed.
With the way that he looked at me, it was as if he couldn't see through me. It was as if he had many complicated feelings that he couldn't put in words, which was why he looked at me like this.
Seeing the expression on his face, I could guess what he was thinking.
So I calmly said, "I'll do what I can to protect my family, just like you."
Noah's expression became even more complicated when he heard this. He just looked at me in silence like this for a bit before suddenly giving a sigh.
After another pause, he asked, "Is there a need for you to put yourself in danger like this though?"
The expression that he had this time was one of sadness.
The way that he looked at me, it was almost as if he was hurt.
I didn't understand why he would look at me like this at first, but then I slowly started to understand.
That was because it was similar to how I had felt about him before.
It was the basic issue of trust.
Just like how I thought that he didn't trust me, it seemed like he also thought that I didn't trust him. He thought that I didn't leave these matters to him because I didn't trust him to take care of these things.
While I thought that he didn't trust me to take care of these matters with my own plans. So it was a case of both of us misunderstanding what the intentions of the other side were. Taking a deep breath, I just directly said, "It isn't that I don't trust you."
Noah looked at me with a surprised look before knitting his brows as if he was waiting to hear what I had to say.
I just looked right at him as I said, "It's just that this is something that only I can do." Noah's brows didn't relax when he heard this, he even looked at me as if he didn't believe this.
I didn't mind the way that he looked at me as I said, "This is something that only I can do because I'm the only one that knows the special details about the giants. If someone else were to follow my plan, there's no telling what would happen because they wouldn't know the intricacies of the giant race. They wouldn't be able to adapt if something were to happen, which is a large part of my plan in the first place."
"Can't you just write it all down?" Noah slowly asked.
I shook my head before saying, "This isn't something that can be written down, it's something that has to be experienced to be understood."
"You have experience with the giants?" The way that he said this made it very clear what he was implying, but I just calmly looked at him with a faint smile on my face after hearing this.
There was no need for me to say anything, the smile on my face was more than enough to give him an answer.
Noah still had his brows knitted for a while, but then all of a sudden, he relaxed his brows and said, "Alright, I understand."
Since the beginning, he knew that this brother in law of his had his secrets. Even before he became his brother in law, there were many things that he hadn't been able to see through with him.
He wasn't willing to share these secrets, not because he didn't trust him.
If he didn't trust him, he wouldn't have said all of this.
This brother in law of his...he had a very strange background.
He had only found that this brother in law of his had been a slave that had been sold to Rose's husband as a sex slave, but there was nothing before that. It was as if before he was sold as a slave, his entire history had been blank.
For someone to have a history that even he couldn't investigate with the entire force of the Kite Kingdom's intelligence network, there was no doubt that there was something very special about his past.
The people that had erased his past were not people that could be messed with...
Taking a deep breath, Noah gave a slight nod as he said, "Alright, I'll trust you for now. But I hope that you will keep your promise and keep yourself safe. You have a family that is waiting for you..."
After his voice trailed off for a bit, he suddenly broke the silence by saying, "If you do anything to hurt my sister, I promise that I won't let you off even if you die."
There was a smile that crept onto my face after hearing this.
I looked at him and then patted him on the shoulder before saying, "Don't worry, you are my family. If I can help it, I will never do anything that will hurt you."
Noah looked deep into my eyes for a few seconds before slowly giving a nod.
With that, the matter of me heading to the Land of Giants was settled.
But there was still something that I had to talk about with him.
"So you ordered the royal doctor to report to you if they discovered anything wrong with your sister?" I suddenly asked Noah this.
There was an awkward look on his face as he said, "I was just worried about her..."
This really was different from the past fourth prince who did this kind of shameless thing without any hesitation.
But it meant that he was different from the fourth prince of the past.
He was no longer restrained by his position and had to act the part of the villain.
He was free to be the real him.
"Well, she's not happy about it." I said in a teasing voice.
Noah trembled the moment that he heard this before saying in a shaky voice, "Then you
mean..."
I just gave a simple nod in response.
"Brother in law, please help me." Noah said without any hesitation, but I shook my head just
as resolutely.
I wouldn't get in the middle of this, I still wanted to live.
