Bonds of souls

Instinct

The young woman notices that he shows surprise on his face as his ice blue eyes look intently at her.

Then, after frowning, the merman replies, "You would die if you took the hit. I would only be hurt."

Even though she was surprised that his protective action was caused by a simple assessment and not for any of the reasons she imagined, the princess managed to keep control of the seals to help with the healing, even if it was slowly while confessing that she had never met anyone like him, even having seen hundreds of people.

After all, even being a monster, it made no difference when seeing her because the young woman believed that they were capable of feeling the same feelings as humans and to reach that conclusion, she took the court and all those she witnessed in the palace and surroundings as a basis.

He was stubborn, but he maintained his sincerity while holding on to his kindness.

Indeed, the jiaoren had a pure soul and the feeling she had of being unworthy of touching his skin as she judged it to be like touching one of the Gods or Buddha was deserved.

With those conclusions, he belonged in the ocean. The newt belonged to that environment. The world she came from was not worthy of it. The only worthy place was the immensity of the ocean.

"Thank you very much."

"You're welcome"

"Does the wound still hurt?"

"It hurts. But, it's getting better."

His frankness was surprising to her considering the falsehood, betrayal and deceit she witnessed or heard within the palace walls and beyond, whether from nobles, officials, servants or dignitary.

"I am really sorry. My healing magic isn't very good and it looks like this wound is hard to heal."

"Don't worry about it."

She was touched by the fact that he had seriously forgiven her as she looked into his face and such an act made her shed more tears. That demon was unique in everything.

Holding the healing matrix with only her left hand, the princess impulsively extends her right hand, taking it to the jiaoren's head by taking advantage of the fact that she was standing on a rock behind the merman and that she allowed herself to rise a little about him.

The prince curiously watches her hand fall to his head, and then begins to caress the strands, descending from the top along her silver hair, and then repeating the movement a few times, with her becoming fascinated to feel that the silver strands they were soft and silky to the touch. The jiaoren were indeed incredible and legendary demons, as well as beautiful.

As she caressed the silver strands, a gentle smile sprouted on her lips and even entertained in this task, the princess did not neglect the cure.

"What does it mean to caress someone's head?" The merman asks with visible curiosity on his face.

The young girl couldn't help but think how cute he looked in many moments like that moment and which was occasioned by an unexpected question, "Is this a special magic gesture that can make people who have been hurt feel better. It's like healing."

"Can humans heal with a touch?" The prince of the ocean asks with stupefaction on his face because he has not read or heard about this ability of humans.

It was startling to him, to say the least, making him question what else was kept secret about humans, even though he knew their knowledge was limited and that demons on earth must know better.

"But, I'm still not okay."

"You'll be fine, don't worry."

"It's a really long spell. I didn't know your race had that ability." He responds with surprise on his face.
