I, a mercenary, became a beautiful silver-haired boy

Chapter 849

Although it was not the first time she made a mistake, Nana was really nervous this time.

It was the first time she saw Elena's expression. She wanted to be angry but didn't know what to do. She clenched her fists and seemed to be hesitating whether to teach her a lesson.

"Hey~ Be more careful next time. I don't want you to get hurt no matter what."

In the end, Elena could only sigh helplessly. Sometimes he wondered if he was overprotective.

Although Elena forgave Nana, Nana herself seemed to have no way to get out of the guilty mood. Her expression was a little melancholy. She felt uncomfortable when she thought that she had made Elena angry.

Elena was a little helpless and could only take the other's hand. At least she could use this intimate gesture to make the other feel better.

The whole army seemed very depressed. The previous battle had made them see what despair was. The gap in numbers was too big, and there was no possibility of victory.

This battle did not gain anything. Except for sacrificing many companions, nothing else.

If the result of this battle was spread out, they would be ashamed to face people. How could they explain this to their fellow villagers?

There was no other way. They could only drag their tired bodies to continue on their journey. After returning, they even had to consider asking for help from their superiors. Before the large army arrived, they might not be able to face the army of the undead.

They were confused all the way, and they didn't even realize that they had returned to the fortress. They looked up and stared at the fortress in a daze. They went back to their rooms to rest without any arrangements.

The people who stayed in the fortress saw them like this, and they all showed puzzled expressions. However, seeing that the troops were obviously missing a lot of people, they should soon understand what happened. It was nothing more than a defeat in the battle.

Seeing these young officers leading the team, anyone with a little experience could see that this operation was going to go wrong. It would be a miracle if they could win a great victory under such circumstances. The Demon King's army was not something that could be easily controlled.

Elena had no interest in feeling the tense atmosphere outside. She took off her coat when she returned to her room, sat on the bed and began to check her body.

After all, fighting is quite tense. Even with healing magic, sometimes there will be some hidden injuries left. If not treated specifically, it may affect the physical condition in the future.

Dongdong!

At this moment, the door was suddenly knocked. Elena stopped what he was doing and slowly raised his head.

"Come in, the door is not locked."

As soon as the voice fell, the door was opened. Nana walked in slowly from outside, with a guilty expression on her face and was very nervous.

Seeing Nana, Elena was stunned for a moment. She had clearly said that it was okay before, but it was obvious that the other party was still brooding about it until now.

It was still the same problem. Nana was sometimes too sensible and a little introverted and timid. She always subconsciously felt that Elena had not forgiven him.

"Hey~ Come here."

Irena sighed. His unintentional action seemed to irritate Nana a little, as if she felt that the sigh was because Irena was disappointed in her.

But Nana did not dare to disobey Irena. She walked to Irena with heavy steps and a nervous look on her face, lowering her head and ready to accept Irena's criticism at any time.

"Here."

Irena said with a smile, patting his thighs together. At this time, he tried to get as close to the other person as possible and showed that he had no other emotions.

Nana understood what Irena meant, and her fair face showed a clear blush. She walked over awkwardly and slowly sat on Irena's thighs.

"Nana, I know what you are thinking, but I am not angry now. Sometimes you care too much about other people's feelings, and it is okay to be a little selfish for yourself.

Willfulness is the privilege of children. As long as it is not too much, adults will be willing to accept it."

Irena said earnestly. Although he had no experience in teaching children, he had seen a lot of similar situations in the orphanage.

Only crying children get candy, and sensible and obedient children are often ignored, so Irena still hopes that Nana can be a little willful.

Facing Irena's words, Nana remained silent. She naturally knew this truth and understood that as long as she spoke, Irena would basically meet her wishes.

But she just didn't want to make Irena feel embarrassed. She was afraid that being too willful would cause Irena to rebound and abandon her one day..

This is a character problem that cannot be changed. As an "abandoned" child, she does lack a sense of security.

Seeing Nana's silence, Elena couldn't help but sigh and gently stroked her hair, with a helpless expression on his face.

To be honest, no matter what happened, Elena couldn't imagine the day when he would abandon Nana.

Regardless of whether he was a man of his word, he would never break his promise since he agreed to the White Dragon Queen's request for the orphan.

And Nana herself was actually a very likable child, who didn't cry or make a fuss and looked very cute. As a being with the blood of the white dragon in her body, Elena was naturally willing to get close to Nana.

But sometimes he really hoped that Nana could trust him more. After all, he was not the kind of person who would make a big fuss and criticize the other party and threaten to abandon the other party when a child made a fuss.

Looking at Nana's somewhat shy face, Elena subconsciously took out the crown of the White Dragon Clan and looked at the soul gem inlaid on the crown. An idea came to his mind.

Elena didn't tell Nana much about the fact that there was a trace of the remnant soul of Nana's biological mother in the soul gem.

Although the White Dragon Queens of all generations in the soul gem looked no different from ghosts, they had their own consciousness after all. Elena wondered whether to let Nana meet her mother.

He felt a little pitiful. As a blood-related existence, Nana, as a daughter, had never talked to her mother and met her, and never felt what maternal love was.

Although strictly speaking, the White Dragon Queen in the soul gem was not Nana's real mother, she was a trace of the remnant soul of the past after all. Even if it was a substitute, meeting each other and communicating with each other could make up for the regret, right?

This made Elena very hesitant. Although he was good at fighting and other things, he really couldn't make up his mind about this aspect and didn't understand how to deal with this kind of thing.
