Am Paine froze in place.
In other words, the accident many years ago was a deception deliberately created by Earl Quin to cover up the news that his daughter had become a witch
Is Andrea the Evil Fallen...
he does not know.
But the murderers who murdered his father and made the kingdom restless were indeed witches, and if they hadn't had that unreasonable ability, it wouldn't be what it is now.
The idea of him wanting to avenge his father... Wrong
The two thoughts collided and bit each other in Ampain's mind, causing him to have a splitting headache for a while.
"Your rule is over," Earl Quinn stepped forward. "No matter what, Dawn should not continue to do whatever you want. Witches will be rehabilitated and have the same status and rights as ordinary people. They can Walking on the streets normally, you can hold an official position, inherit a family, and even manage the kingdom." Having said that, he glanced at Andrea, "As for you"
"Why, do you want to kill a royal noble?" An Pein covered his forehead and said with a grim face, "You forgot the oath you made to your ancestors, did you forget my surname! Answer me, Hoffer De Quinn!"
This sharp rebuke caused everyone present to take a step back involuntarily, except for Andrea and the God's Punishment Witch.
"I am the direct bloodline of the Moa royal family, and the only inheritor! Even if I am no longer the king, you will bear the name of the King Killer!" He hissed, "The order of the morning light will be destroyed in your hands. , those big noble families will no longer trust you!"
"I wouldn't have done that," Horford sighed. "I wouldn't even have come this far if the family hadn't been at stake. But you must swear to leave Dawn Kingdom forever and never set foot on Kingdom soil for the rest of your life. . In this case, you can take the people you can take away from the capital, otherwise, I can only lock you in the dungeon of the castle, just like you did to the elder son of Luo Xi."
"Is this a decision made by the three of you?"
"The Tokat family has no objection to this." Earl Tokat stroked his chest.
"The same is true of the Losey family." Earl Losey replied.
"We are not as cold-blooded as you are," Oro Tokat snorted, "Thanks to your order being a step late, otherwise..."
"Okay," interrupted Otto, "no more."
Really considerate group of people, but in the face of the huge difference in power, how long can you maintain such a ridiculous friendship? An Pein glanced coldly at the nobles in the hall, and said after a long silence, "I choose the former."
He can't be imprisoned in a place where the sun will never see the sun. As long as his bloodline continues, he will always be the royal family of Dawn. Whether he goes to Langxin or Yongdong, he can be treated according to his status. It's better to be kept under a fence than to be locked up in a cage. Besides, no matter it is Horford Quinn or the King of Greycastle, it is impossible to guarantee that he will not make mistakes. Once a dispute arises, the nobles of other territories will definitely not forget his existence.
"Then... please swear." Earl Quin nodded.
This incident finally came to an end when Ampain Moa swore an oath in the name of the ancestor. However, only Andrea noticed that when the guards took the Lord of Dawn out of the hall, Elena, who was supporting her, showed a sneer.
When leaving the castle, Otto suddenly stopped Andrea from behind, "Qui, Miss Quinn... Thank you for saving me. Mr. Hill has told me about what happened in Neverwinter."
She chuckled and said, "When you treat your savior and childhood friend, are you so outspoken?"
"No... I'm just" Otto seemed a little speechless for a while, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
"It's eldest sister!" Auro stepped forward and hooked him by the neck, "Don't forget who was the leader of the group of four at that time, or you can't usurp the throne!"
"Auro!" Otto hit the latter with an elbow in the chest.
"Cough, okay, I see you are too nervous, it's just a joke..." Auro pretended to be hit hard, "but I haven't seen you for so long, now that the flower of glory has come back to life, we must get together at night Just get together. How about just in the old place?"
"Silver Antlers Tavern?" Andrea raised her eyebrows, "Is that place closed yet?"
"Anyway, it's the Losey family's business. It didn't close so quickly, although the operators are really bad."
"Hey"
"I'm OK."
"Well then, I'll take a step first, and you can talk slowly." Auro waved his hand.
"Ann, Andrea..." Otto took a deep breath, "I want to talk to you alone."
Although he didn't know why his old friend was willing to give up this opportunity to get along with each other, it was a rare opportunity for him.
He didn't want to borrow Oro's words to express his thoughts, and he could also feel that Andrea's attitude had changed a little when she met Neverwinter. Although she still seems to be quite contradictory to the identity of the eldest lady of the Quinn family, at least she does not show strangeness to her former playmate, which can be seen from the joke just now.
"..." Andrea seemed to think for a while, then nodded, "Let's go to the courtyard."
Otto felt his heart skip a beat.
The supporter did not follow, and the two slowly walked into the courtyard one after the other.
"Are you... alright?" Looking at the back of the witch who was swaying while walking, Otto wanted to help but didn't dare to reach out. Obviously when he was a child, these actions were common.
"This is just a sequela of overuse of magic power, and it has no real impact on the body. On the contrary, we have to use it to increase the capacity of magic power, and it will be restored to its original state the next day, so don't worry." Andrea shrugged, "Now It's just the two of us, what do you want to talk about?"
Otto bit his lip, "Remember what I said to you when I was in Neverwinter? Oro goes to your cemetery every year to lay flowers..."
"Remember."
"Actually there's one more thing I didn't tell you," he took a deep breath, "I do the same every year because I can't forget you. When I saw you in prison saying, "I'm here," I can hardly describe the joy in my heart, and at that moment I decided that no matter what, I would say this sentence. Andrea, can you stay here? "
Andrea didn't seem to be surprised, she just smiled, "Thank you, but you said it too late."
"It's too late to mean..."
"I already have someone I want to accompany, so... I won't stay in Glorious City." She replied in a deliberately brisk tone, "If you had said it ten years earlier, maybe I would have agreed."
Otto's heart sank, "Is it His Majesty Roland? If it is him, it is indeed a much better choice than me."
"How could I be an enemy of Nightingale," Andrea interrupted, "I am her most steadfast ally."
"Eh?"
"Uh, no, when I didn't say anything..." she coughed, "in short, not what you think. Otto, witches can't keep a family going, and I don't want to be constrained by the rules of the nobility. Bondage. Ten years is too long, I'm no longer the flower of light I used to be, so that's fine, understand?"
Otto opened his mouth, he wanted to blurt out "I am willing to give up everything of the nobles", but an invisible force stopped him.
He is no longer a child who can throw away all responsibilities and act willfully.
That was the biggest disappointment to his father and his sister Belinda.
In the end, Otto could only watch Andrea's back disappear at the entrance of the courtyard.
