Chapter 278: The weight of the cross

Views:

Lake rested in Dracula's Castle for two days and was about to leave. He looked at Saffrot coming down from upstairs and said, "I'm going to Domus City, what about you?"

"I returned to the Night Clan. Now I am the leader of the Night Clan. If I don't stay in the Dark Realm, it seems unreasonable." This was the first time in two days that Saffrot walked downstairs. Pell didn't know what was happening. What, but seeing Saffrot like this, he was so depressed that he couldn't speak.

"Do you really plan to never see her again?" After so many things happened, Lake felt more and more that it was his fault. Maybe he should have made it clear from the beginning, and made it clear to everyone that the couple he once saw in White City were in love. Who is the person, maybe so many things will not happen, bringing everyone to this point of no return.

"What should I say and what should I do when I see her?" Saffrot didn't know, he really didn't know.

"Oh! Forget it, I'll take the first step." Lake didn't know how to persuade him. Apart from telling the truth, anything he said was nonsense. But for Saffrot, the truth was no less terrifying than it is now. The pain, and if Saffrot gets angry and abandons the Night Clan, what will the Night Clan do? destroy? Or is it slowly disappearing

Lake broke up with Safrot and rushed straight to the small villa in Domus City. Why? While he was worried about Safrot, he was also worried about Luvian, the sister of Sekerus. daughter, especially she likes to choose extremes. If Saffrot had taken action a second later, she would no longer be in this world. However, this may be her choice, so that the real reason is completely buried from now on, but she I didn't expect anyone would know.

After trying his best and driving all night long, when the first ray of sunshine broke through the clouds, Lake finally arrived at the small villa, but the only person who greeted him was the human maid.

"Welcome Mr. Lake back to the Villa!" The other party saluted Lake very politely.

"They haven't come back?" Lake looked at the quiet village, a little disappointed.

"Yes, Mr. Satteris and the others have never come back." The maid replied.

"Oh." Lake lowered his head and walked towards the manor. The maid who was about to turn around to follow suddenly stared behind Lake in surprise, "You... you are..."

"luvian?" Lake turned around.

"Yeah." I nodded, but my eyes kept falling on her behind Lake, "Marina?"

"Miss Luvian, is it really you?" Marina looked at me in surprise and looked at me from head to toe.

"Why are you here?" After going through so much, I was really surprised to see her unchanged at last, but what surprised me most was that she was here.

"This gentleman asked me to take care of the villa and make food for the owner here." Marina replied seriously, "Could it be that the owner here is you, Miss?"

"Well, that's right!" I nodded and walked into the villa.

"Great, I felt that the fate between us was not over yet, we would definitely meet again, and sure enough we did meet." Marina was very happy.

"Well, I'm tired. I'm going back to my room first." I sighed. Can you explain fate clearly? It’s only when it’s broken that you know it’s broken.

But with her... when I passed by her, I suddenly wanted to understand something, "You should have known that I am the master of this place and the main god of heaven, right?"

"luv..." Marina was stunned and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Satris, "Master is tired, go and get food! She may have a meal at any time."

"Yes." Marina had no choice but to nod obediently in agreement.

"Is she okay?" Lake asked as Satoris passed by him.

"What are you asking about?" Satris asked calmly.

"Every aspect! Isn't she injured? And she must feel bad, right?" Although Lake is like a child, he has a big heart and has experienced a lot. Especially this incident, he was worried about it from beginning to end. He is a participant. He has suffered psychological torture for more than a hundred years, but after the experience, he has grown up a lot. He has learned to take a step back, give himself and others some time, and then think slowly, even if he can't think clearly. , at least avoid doing anything irreversible on impulse.

"With the master's strength, the injuries on his body were healed before he returned to heaven. As for his heart, I can't find out." Satris was also worried, but there was no point in worrying. He knew why the master did that. Clearly, it would be the same if it were him.

"Then why did she insist on forcing Saffrot to do it himself?" Lake and the others came to the hall, sat down, and Marina served tea.

"Perhaps the master also wants to know whether Safrot can bear that cross!" Satoris sighed. Since Lila disappeared, he has seen a lot more clearly than he did in the past thousand years. A moment.

"But isn't this cross too heavy?" Lake nodded knowingly, then shook his head.

"Since it is a cross, it must have its weight." Sartres said something very profound, and also walked to his room, "By the way, Marina, arrange a room for her, starting from now on She is also the servant of her master.”

"Yes, Lord Satris." Marina said, turning to Elquet, "Is the lady a noble?"

"You..." Elquette was stunned, "Do you know about nobles?"

"Of course, look, isn't this Mr. Lake a noble like you? Besides, Miss Luvian was also a noble before, but she doesn't seem to be now." Marina knew this from the first time she met Satres , the people living in this villa are definitely not human beings. Their appearance, temperament, and the brilliance around them are definitely not things that humans can possess.

"Lake?" Elquet turned to look at Lake, "My name is Elquet, and I was the original leader of Luoyue."

"It turns out it's you!" Although Lake has rarely been captured back to the Dark Territory over the years, he still knows a little about the leaders of the Night Clan. "Graps' daughter, isn't she?"

"You know me?" Elquette was surprised.

"Of course, we have met a long time ago." Lake smiled, and suddenly felt that it was good to be with Luvian, as he could often see some relatives.

"Why don't I remember?"

"Because you were just born at that time." Lake smiled in an elder's tone.

"Who are you?" Elquette suddenly became serious.

"In human terms, I am your uncle and your father is my brother."

"Are you the third generation?"

"Well, aren't you the fourth generation?" Lake smiled. For a small nobleman, he might be surprised to see the third generation, but for a fourth generation, it seems that there is no need.

"Except for my father, you are the first third generation I have seen." Elquet is not stubborn, but seeing that such a child who is only a few years older than himself is actually a third generation, he is a little afraid. believe.

"So that's it." Lake nodded, "Although the third generation is rare, especially after being killed so many by Luvian."

"She? Kill the third generation?"

"Yeah." Lake smiled with infinite melancholy, "A hundred years ago, she killed several third generations, plus the murder of her mother, the disappearance of Saffrot's mother, and the departure of several brothers. , the current third generation is really pitiful.”

"Well, it seems she is very strong."

"Of course he is strong, otherwise he could become the leader of the Clan of Light and have a servant as strong as Satres?" Lake had heard of and seen Luvian Qiang.

"No wonder!" Elquette said to himself and nodded.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, please take me to my room." Elquet was really tired after traveling all night, especially following Luvian and the others.

"Okay, please, miss." Marina is a very mature woman. She will not interrupt or interrupt when they are talking.

"Don't call me miss, I'm a servant now, Elquet."

Elquet left, and Lake was the only one left in the entire hall. Facing the silence around him, Lake just shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Such a cross is too heavy. It seems they really have to use it." To carry the love of a lifetime, alas!”

"What are you sighing for?" Atsi suddenly stepped into the hall.

"You? Why are you here again?" Lake was startled and stood up.

"We have nowhere to go for now." Atsi came and sat down opposite Lake, "And why are you here?"

"Because I have a room here! No need to ask." In front of Atesi, Lake habitually resumed his younger brother's posture.

"Haha~ So I can't stay here anymore?" Atsi laughed.

"I don't know that. You'd better ask the owner here." Lake will no longer hate Atesi. After all, Atesi is not here to capture him and take him back to the dark realm.

"Forget it, I don't want to live here, I just want to know one thing." This is also the only purpose of Atsi's coming here.

"What?"

"This is why you left your father and didn't see him."

"I… "

"Don't say anything about your disagreement with father, because when father disappeared, you said very strange words to Saffrot. It was too chaotic at the time, and maybe others didn't pay attention, but I heard it clearly." Atesi didn't want to After being fooled again, everyone blamed themselves deeply when something happened to their mother, but Lake's reaction was a bit extreme. He obviously didn't hurt his mother, so why did he blame himself more than his brothers and sisters who were stained with her mother's blood? This is unjustifiable.

"Forget it, everything has become a thing of the past with the disappearance of my father. There is no difference whether you tell or not, whether you know or not. As for this reason... It doesn't matter if you say it originally, but now for some people , I can't say it anymore, otherwise the cross may be even heavier." With the disappearance of his father, Lake's self-blame and hatred for his father also disappeared. As all these disappeared, he could instead use the calmest words. mentality, and the most calm attitude to face this matter, or this secret.

"What cross?" Atsi couldn't figure it out at all. "Is it the cross in Saffrot's hand?"

"Haha!" Lake smiled, "Maybe! He can only rely on himself to figure out whether he can bear its weight."

"What… "

"I'm tired too. I'm going back to my room to rest first. What about you..." Lake glanced at Atesi before turning around and going upstairs. "Please do as you please!" (To be continued)
