Villain Path

Chapter 6. Piano in the bushes number 67

This time Shen felt much better, when woke up. In the chest blurred pleasant warmth new-found spiritual strength. And the hand also contributed to the warmth, lying on his chest. Shen squinted his eyes and saw, that his brother was lying next to him with his eyes closed, but tense folds between his eyebrows.  Shen felt, how he shares his energy with him. It pours into him in a stormy stream, refreshing the dried up channels. Did Al feel the same when he shared his power with him? Only now he realized something. How defenseless becomes one who, of his own free will, pours into his other energy. And as soon as someone else plans something unkind, inflicting a mortal wound will be easier than sneezing.

- Brother, - quietly called Shen, - Shian, it's enough. I'm already much better.

The older brother really obeyed him and removed his hand. Sitting on the bed, he looked at him closely.

- Thank you, -  Shen was forced to say.

After all, that kind of concern and boundless trust in a guy like Shen was indeed very moving. How did he dare to open up to him like that, even if they were brothers?

When he heard this simple thank you, the black clouds above Shian's head seemed to dissipate and his eyes shone.

- How do you feel? - he asked with concern.

-As I said, I'm already much better.

- You received a very serious mental blow. And besides, you exhausted his own spiritual strength to the limit! I shared mine as best I could, but the consequences won't go away so easily.

«Al, stupid boy! He's not on purpose, is he? ..» In general, if you think about it, Al could have deliberately wanted to harm him. He fears and hates him. And the situation was not conducive to anything good. «He did it on purpose!» - Shen realized in shock. This was the first time his sincere kindness had been kicked back. It was very disappointing. But, pulling himself together, Shen realized with regret that this was most likely not the last such case. After all, the novel's Shen has built up his reputation as a villain over the years and hundreds of atrocities, so it's no surprise that he won't be allowed to do good so suddenly easily. Once it opens up, good characters will take revenge on it as soon as possible.

-Will you tell me what really happened? - Shian, looking at him, sighed sadly. -Well, at least give me a hint who I should kill.

From the mouth of the kind and gentle Leader of the League RR similar, as a matter of course, the words of murder broke so easily, Shivers ran down Shen's spine. «Did I understand the character of this character correctly when I read the novel??»

To avoid that searching look, Shen closed his eyes. «I'm sorry Shian, but I can't let you know the truth. It is impossible to kill the main character, all those who try are doomed to certain death!»

Realizing that his brother would not say anything, Shian got out of bed and, saying quietly: «Rest», left the room.

Shen breathed a sigh of relief, stretched, rolled onto his side, pulled the edge of the bedspread over himself and fell asleep.

The next morning began for Shen with a visit from the doctor. He opened his eyes as the famous doctor Zag bent over him, taking his pulse. 

The doctor was startled to see that Shen was awake. It was as if he had deliberately come while Shen was still asleep, hoping that his visit would go unnoticed. 

- Lord of Peak of Milky Lambs, - Shen greeted in a restrained tone.
