Alec entered the tent just in time to see Tatiana shove Dietrich down onto the bed, where his wrists were bound above his head and attached to the bed's headboard since she couldn't afford for him to run away.
Also, this had the added effect of the usually calm man blushing in embarrassment from time to time.
Tatiana domineeringly tilted Dietrich's chin up with her finger, smirking at his slight flush.
From the angle that they appeared, they looked like they were exchanging a fiery kiss.
Alec felt like he'd been blinded. Just what was happening here ?! Then he mentally slapped himself. The angle really made him feel like he went blind for a moment there. There was no way that they really kissed.
If it wasn't for him knowing about all the cliché'getting caught but all of it was actually a misunderstanding' scenes in various plots, he would really have thought that they'd moved pretty quickly.
Tatiana immediately separated from Dietrich, whirling around. Yet, she kept his vulnerable body behind her even though she couldn't feel any killing intent from the person that just entered without her permission.
Her eyes narrowed with distaste. Who was the one from her mercenary group that didn't know how to respect personal boundaries?
Similarly, Dietrich's eyes darted to the two figures that just appeared inside Tatiana's tent, yet before he could catch a glimpse of them, his view was blocked by the sight of Tatiana's back.
He felt a complicated emotion as he struggled to sit up from the bed, having to contort awkwardly because of how he was bound. He thought that Tatiana would go easier on him when she knew that he was related to Alec, but it looked like she was more cautious than that.
But he was still able to recognize his uncle from the brief glance before he was blocked.
"Uncle," Dietrich greeted. He felt like escaping right now.
Of all people who had seen the embarrassing situation that he'd managed to get himself in on what was supposed to be a simple bandit extermination mission had to be his uncle of all people!
Dietrich just knew that he would never be able to live this down if Kieran or his parents ever heard about what happened here.
Tatiana had frozen the moment she locked eyes with Alec's figure.
The small boy that she still dreamt of every other night had appeared before her eyes.
Though he had grown up a lot, he still appeared so much the same that she almost felt as if she was dreaming.
It was the call of 'uncle' that broke her out of her illusion. She pinched herself. It hurt. This wasn't a dream!
Tatiana felt like all her defences that she had built up over these years had suddenly crumbled in front of a familiar face. This Alec that she saw in front of her was not an illusion.
Similarly, Alec was feeling complicated when he saw that his nephew and his sister were… were… even if there was currently nothing between them, judging from the [Plot Route], he had a feeling that wouldn't be the case in the future.
Alec suddenly felt like he was overheating.
So, this was what the [Crucial plot progression has started.] meant! A romance plot, ah?!
Between Dietrich and Tatiana?! Just how was this going to continue developing!? He couldn't comprehend how that would go about, so he just shoved it to the back of his mind. It wasn't any of his business.
Alec felt like running out of the tent, but he didn't. Just what had he interrupted the feeling development between the two! If this followed the typical cliché plotline, then didn't Alec just interrupt the male lead and female lead who were cultivating their feelings?!
Somehow, Alec had completely missed that possibility when he'd made the decision to rush here. He thought that Tatiana and Dietrich were about to fight to the death! Ah!
How stupid of him. Clearly there hadn't been the sounds of blades clashing nor fighting when he'd snuck in, and the two were obviously in the same place, so how could he have overlooked this possibility!
Alec had been too worried to think about it developing to this stage, so he couldn't be faulted.
Not only that, Alec had been a legendary 'single dog' both as a System and as a human. It would have been stranger for him to think about this possibility.
Alec felt like his three worldviews had been overturned, and his brain was overheating. He wanted to leave the tent, but at this moment, Tatiana burst out into tears, startling him.
It was such a change from the previous fierce expression and killing intent directed at him that he was caught off guard.
It wasn't just Alec. Dietrich was similarly caught off guard. He had been in contact with Tatiana for a few days now, and she had always been unwaveringly strong in her stance and speech.
Even when he heard snippets from the mercenaries that gossiped like old women, they were all filled with respect for the mercenary leader and her tough way of doing things.
Tatiana bursting into tears was something out of his expectations. There was a faint feeling in his heart that he didn't know how to describe when he saw her tears trailing down her cheeks.
He had no idea why, he wanted to wipe them away. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
Tatiana charged forward, disregarding anyone else in the tent.
She flung herself onto Alec's small figure, her tears silently leaking down her face. She didn't even know that she was crying, her tears silently flowing down her face she wept, her feelings of hate and desolation that had been suppressed deep in her psyche surged up in an instant at the sight of Alec's face.
She had been strong all by herself for all these years, only to see a glimpse of hope that was bearing fruit.
This was her little brother that she hadn't seen for four years already.
The little brother that she thought had been lost to her for the remainder of her time on Incantix.
She was so relieved upon seeing his face that she didn't even care about anything else. Tatiana didn't feel the glare that pierced her from the man that had come with Alec, nor did she see how Dietrich was reacting to her tears.
What was the feeling of meeting someone you loved that you thought they had perished and already fertilized the earth?
The feeling of someone you lost returning back to you was so bittersweet.
There was no other comparable feeling than the joy and heartache that she felt right now.
"You're still alive! That's good. That's great," she whispered, her tears overflowed and soaked Alec's shirt. All her worries had suddenly been unloaded upon seeing a familiar face.
Alec hesitantly patted her back, which only made her cry harder. So many years, but she was still such a big crybaby.
Tatiana sniffled before drying her tears. Now, all she was left with was relief and happiness.
Alec's previous embarrassment and bewildered feelings melted away, only leaving affection behind.
Even though he knew that she was still alive, he hadn't seen it personally. Now that he had, he could tell that she'd been trying to live her life to the fullest, even if she still couldn't accept that the clan was supposedly gone.
She was still alive despite the hardships that she'd experienced.
Tatiana really hadn't figure out that the Neil Clan's final graduation exam was about mainly because she had always been suppressing her feelings and memories of that night, never daring to look at it too closely, leading to her being muddled.
She was usually so smart about things too. Within their close-knit group, Alec knew that Tatiana was actually the one with the highest IQ and EQ compared to the boys.
Alec silently gestured at Dominique behind Tatiana's back.
Dominique, instead of untying Dietrich from his position on the bed, instead grabbed him and bodily brought him out over his shoulder.
Alec, "…"
