Exceptionally, I Allow You to Call Me Eris 17: Chapter 17.
Exceptionally, I Allow You to Call Me Eris I was kidnapped.
Eris and I were now in a small, dirty warehouse.
Light streamed in from the barred window, and I had been roughly handled during the transfer, my body aching.
I used silent Healing Magic to quietly heal my body.
Just like in my previous life.
After I proposed this kidnapping plan, the butler played along, kidnapping both Eris and me.
I have to say, this plan had one flaw.
If they had chosen to kidnap only Eris, she would absolutely not have been able to escape with her abilities.
But unfortunately, they brought me along too.
Perhaps in the eyes of the kidnappers, I was just a seven-year-old boy, a slightly talented mage.
Though smart, still just a child.
Unfortunately.
This idea was completely wrong.
They had kidnapped a God-tier mage.
I looked at Eris beside me.
Her hands were tied, and her once clean red dress and white stockings were now covered in dust.
After a while, she woke up.
She excitedly tried to jump up, but realized her hands were tied behind her back, so she started making a huge fuss.
“What is this?!” “Hey!
Don’t you know who I am?
Let me go!” So noisy.
Eris’s loud voice was an imitation of Sauros.
Children are creatures who like to learn and imitate.
Sauros’s habit of loudly scolding Filis and the servants in the mansion, and the fact that no one dared to resist, were all learned by Eris.
People often unknowingly become negative examples.
“Shut up, you brat!” The kidnapper made a grand entrance.
He reeked of alcohol, kicked open the door, his face covered in a scraggly beard, and his eyes fierce.
“So annoying, don’t come near me!
You stink too much, do you know who I am?
Ghislaine will be back soon to cut you in half!” Then Eris was kicked flying.
In mid-air, she let out a teeth-grinding cry of pain, violently crashing into the wall.
My heart also trembled.
“Damn it, what are you showing off for?
I know both your grandfathers are lords!” The kidnapper, holding a liquor bottle, walked up to Eris, grabbed her, and punched her hard in the face.
“It hurts, it hurts so much, no, don’t, please don’t…” Eris whimpered.
Even a terrifying beast can let out a wail that softens the heart.
But unfortunately, such pleas were useless to the kidnapper.
My heart gradually sank to the bottom.
Before my eyes, Eris, whom I had once severely tortured, appeared.
I had done countless terrible things to Eris, who had always stayed by my side.
Although she often hit me too.
But compared to what I did to her, it was nothing.
In a secret, empty room, I constantly humiliated, beat, and tortured Eris, to the point of being cruelly perverted.
At that time, I was already insane because of God.
I arbitrarily believed that Eris was an apostle of God.
The silver lining in the misfortune was that Eris successfully escaped, preventing me from personally killing her.
But now.
Eris could not escape.
…
After being severely beaten.
The kidnapper spat on her face and left.
He also kicked me in the face on his way out.
I didn’t care about the pain in my own body; my gaze was fixed on Eris.
Her clothes were torn, her well-maintained, fair skin was exposed to the air, and there were bruises all over her body.
Does it not pain you to see Eris subjected to such terrible things?
Hahaha…
How could it not pain me?
But this is the necessary pain for growth.
If she doesn’t go through this, Eris won’t be able to grow, and if she can’t grow, she won’t find happiness.
I cannot let my doting destroy Eris.
…
I used Fire Magic to burn through the ropes and went to Eris’s side.
She was bleeding from her nose, her eyes were dazed, and she was muttering something under her breath.
Listening closely, it was things like ‘I’ll never forgive you,’ ‘I’ll tell Grandpa,’ and some terrifying, unspeakable words.
Oh dear, oh dear.
Eris, it’s precisely because you say such things at a time like this that you suffer like this.
I reached out and touched the area on Eris’s hand.
What a familiar sensation.
It was the exact same sensation as when I had done terrible things to Eris before.
My stomach churned, and I nearly threw up.
Perhaps seeing my pale face, Eris’s gaze became somewhat unfocused.
…
…
The subsequent events do not require much elaboration from me.
In short, after doing the same things as in my previous life, I successfully escaped the room with Eris.
We boarded a carriage and headed towards Roa.
Along the way, Eris became quite obedient.
I asked her not to scream, to obey me until we returned home, and to stay by my side obediently.
Eris complied.
However, this obedient, pitiful Eris not only failed to make me feel happy, but instead made my stomach churn even more.
My apologies to Eris, my own regret, and pain surged wildly.
Eris…
I am truly sorry.
But, for a more distant happiness, let us work hard together.
…
Eris’s perspective.
From childhood until now, this was the first time I had been so scared.
I showed an embarrassing side.
But Rudy didn’t mock me; instead, he seriously told me to listen to him, and only then could we return home safely.
So I endured, following his instructions.
Rudy took care of me very gently.
Although we encountered kidnappers trying to ambush us halfway, Rudy blocked them, and then Ghislaine, who arrived, dealt with them.
If it weren’t for Rudy, I would probably have become a slave, right?
But as long as I listened to Rudy, I would be safe and sound.
Rudy is so reliable…
Even though he’s two years younger than me, he’s so dependable, no wonder Father made him a private tutor.
When the sun rose.
Under Ghislaine’s escort, we finally returned to the mansion.
As soon as I entered the gate, I collapsed onto the ground, completely exhausted.
I couldn’t stand up, no matter what…
The maids wanted to come and help me up.
My gaze fell on Rudy; he had clearly gone through an intense battle and had taken care of me the whole way, yet he was still standing perfectly fine.
Tsk…
What a reliable guy.
So I shooed away the maids who came to help and forced myself to stand up.
“We agreed it was until we returned home.
Can I speak now?” “Yes, you can speak now.” Rudy responded calmly.
I took a deep breath.
“I’ll make an exception and allow you to call me Eris!” “What?” “It’s an exception, you know!” I saw a relieved smile appear on Rudy’s face.
I couldn’t understand the meaning of that smile.
The next moment, I fell backward while still standing.
Before I completely lost consciousness, I seemed to hear Rudy’s voice.
He said: “I’m sorry…” Why did he say ‘I’m sorry’?
Perhaps I misheard.
After all, he had no reason to say that.
